in terms of the politics of this, it seems to me what donald trump and his tea m me what donald trump and his team hope is that their message frankly associating biden and the democrats with anarchy, chaos, socialists, leftist revolution, they are hoping that message will divert a great deal of oxygen and public attention away from what appears by the polls to be the overriding deepest concern of the american public. that is the american public. that is the impact of coronavirus. will that happen? it may happen. it's also about the economy. again, to statistics number one, only 6% of americans are undecided right now. which is why i believe thatjoe biden does have that significant lead. and it may be insurmountable. but not yet, not until the debates. second, there are only 11 states that could actually switch between trump and biden. 0r could actually switch between trump and biden. or go back and forth. that means that we're going to spend all these billions of dollars in campaign and all this negativity and it's going to be for two point for percent of americans. the other 97.6% do

trump and there is a long piece where bob woodward talks to donald trump about how white privileged men like himself and donald trump should work to understand the conditions of black people, the views of black people in america. he asks trump if he agrees with that and trump says, no, you really drank the kool aid. he says, listen to you wow. i don't feel that at all but then, having said that let's listen to their discussion about institutional racism in this country which donald trump strikes a different note let's listen to this. >> do you think there is systematic or institutional racism in this country >> well, i think there is everywhere i think probably less here than most places or less here than many places. >> but is it here in a way it has an impact on people's lives? >> i think it is and it's unfortunate, but i think it is. >> gene, your reaction to that. >> but he doesn't care this whole exchange, both those exchanges are probably the least surprising, i think, revelations in the woodward book to me it is not surprising to me that he would say to woodward, oh, you dran

donald trump managed to get out of it. can you explain to donald trump why you volunteered? >> well, i said many times, i wrote about it and said it at the time. i said it when i came back and opposed the war, which a lot of people didn't like. people didn't like the fact that a veteran came back and spoke out against the war. but what i said was that my parents were greatest-generation parents. my dad volunteered to be in the army air corps, 1939. and my mother worked as a nurse. she happened to be in europe at the time when the war broke out. she was taking care of refugees wounded, escaped front of the germans a day before they came in to occupy the city of paris. so i grew up with a sense of service and responsibility and believed that we all owe it to our country. of course president kennedy summoned our generation to that task. many of my closest friends at yale did volunteer, one of my closest friends, richard pershing, grandson of general pershing was killed in vietnam in 1968, and other great friends of mine were killed. so that is service. that is the greatest sacr

explain to me what is happening with donald trump. because we know he has a very consistent core, one could say even die—hard support, that maybe amounts to one third of voters. but of course, he needs to go beyond that if he is to retain power. he does need to retain some of the more floating voters. it looks like as his presidency has become ever more controversial, he is turning off those people who would not identify themselves as long—term die—hard trump supporters. would you accept that? i accept that, i actually embrace that. i'm going to give you three examples. donald trump talks about law and order, the problem is when an american hears that phrase, law and order, they think police beating up protesters with sticks. the american people want public safety. the ability to walk through your neighbourhood and streets at night and not be afraid. donald trump calls his supporters "warriors." and they see themselves as ha rd—working taxpayers. a warrior is a violent description of a hard—working taxpayer, is how people fe

the governor's office, donald trump. enjoy the illusion you are at the tip of change, but you are at the tip of an influence that is destroying the ability to govern states. you have bought the ticket, you are taking the ride. host: one of your more recent ads targets lindsey graham of south carolina over scotus nominations. i want the viewers to see that, and then you talk about it. [video clip] >> i am a conservative, i want conservatives on the court. n opening comes in the last year president trump's term, and the primary process is started, we will wait until the next election. i want you to use my words against me. >> you are on the record. >> hold the tape. >> lindsay must go. the lincoln project is responsible for the content of this ad. host: why did you make that ad? guest: to point out that lindsey graham has always been a political parasite and a flip-flopper, somebody who is not consistent in his word. he is not consistent while holding up his oath of office. and he is not honest. lindsey graham has become a

donald trump jr. cut an ad in which he calls upon an army, an army for trump's election security operation. "we need you to help us watch them. we need every able-bodied man and woman to join the army for trump's election security." calling on people like, oh, i don't know, the proud boys that president trump gave license to last night to literally go to polling places and, quote, watch the election. jason? >> oh, sorry. i couldn't hear. yeah, here's the thing, willie. and i think this is what i was saying before about terrorism. you have to look at the grand total of what the president's doing, right? remember, he's still attacking the post office with dejoy. we still have our postal workers fighting back. they're trying to suppress the vote that way. they're still suing counties across the country to try to end mail-in ballot applications and everything else like that. he has made it clear that he's going to get judges that are going to try to throw out as many ballots as possible. then you can get

just like donald trump. two house democrats are urging the director of national intelligence to make public what they argue is crucial information about the extent to which foreign actors are exploiting recent racial and social unrest in the united states to advance their own agendas. congresswoman value demmings wrote to the director of national intelligence, quote, we strongly believe that keeping all this information classified will severely hinder our ability to combat foreign meddling and allow the united states government to repeat the same mistakes as 2016. joining our discussion is value demings of florida. thank you very much for joining us tonight. i just want to begin with your reaction to what we have learned in jeffrey goldberg's reporting tonight about president trump refusing to visit an american military cemetery in france because he was afraid his hair would not survive the rain. along with other den grading comments he made about the military. >> lawrence, it's good to be back with you. and

donald trump adds fuel to every fire. because he refuses to even acknowledge that there is a racial justice problem in america. because he won't stand up to any form of violence. he has no problem with right wing militias. white supremacists and vigilantes with assault weapons. often better armed than the police, often in the middle of violence. and because tens of millions of americans simply don't trust of this president to respect their rights, to hear their concerns or to protect them. it does not have to be this way. when president obama and i were in the white house, we had to defend federal property. we did it, you did not see us whipping up fears around the deployment of secret federal troops. we just did our job. and the federal property was protected. when president obama and i were in office, we did not look at cities as democratic or republican run, these are american cities. but trump does not see himself as president for all americans. frankly, i believe if i were president today, the country would be safer

trump. -- obviously i am a very opposed to donald trump. the other caller who said i do not know what i do if it had been bernie sanders. joe biden is a good person who i think is genuinely interested in trying to bring us back together as a country, which is more important than any one individual policy position. host: moses out of lake elmo, minnesota on the line for all others. good morning. caller: i have a couple of quick questions. first and foremost, the constitution is protected by the supreme court, so donald trump will not abolish the supreme court, so i think you can relax. did you support the iraq war? guest: i was 21. caller: ok, did you work for the mitt romney campaign? guest: i did not. caller: did you work for the mccain campaign? guest: i did not. caller: but you are a republican strategist. so you did not support trump in 2016, is the republican party like a john kasich, do you support that guy? guest: i like john kasich. caller: ok, fine. so when he pledged that he would support the republican candidate for president, he

>>>bodonald trump's own directo of national intelligence, dan coats, was mystified with donald trump's relationship with putin. bob woodward reports that secretary of defense james mattis told dan coats, there may come a time when we have to take collective action since trump is dangerous. he's unfit they both resigned before taking any action against the president. and so the president continues to try to down play not just the coronavirus but also russia's interference in our election the news broke today that a senior department of homeland security official says he was told to stop providing intelligence analysis on the threat of russian interference in the 2020 election because it, quote, made the president look bad. the official, brian murphy, who until recently was in charge of intelligence and analysis at the department of homeland security said, in a whistleblower complaint, that on two occasions he was told to stand down when reporting about the russian threat the complaint asserts that in mid-may 2020, the trump acting secretary instructed mr. murphy to cease providing intel

i think there's a difference between joe biden and donald trump, really donald trump of 2020 and donald trump of 2016. not that he's a different person but the circumstances are different. in 2016 was very efficient with his words as crazy and histrionic as they may be. he would basically say i am great, she is terrible and then he would go on some digression about some unrelated matter. he spent minimal time defending himself even in the face of the most egregious problems like access hollywood. four years later we see donald trump every day. we know who is showing up tonight but he has a different format. he puts more emphasis on attacking, less on delivering any kind of message and while he is who he is the head of message for years ago as a lot less of one noun. four years ago he had a very finely honed attack on hillary which that clip demonstrates perfectly well. he does not have that against joe demonstrates perfectly well. he does not have that againstjoe biden. what he does have an is a very long list of grievances, whether it's about how slippery the ramp is when he is trying

joe biden at 49, donald trump at 40. a new nbc news poll in michigan shows joe biden with an 8 point lead over donald trump and 52/44. a poll of likely voters in wisconsin shows joe biden with a decisive 10 point lead 54/44. joe biden told stephanie ruhle what he's expecting in tomorrow night's debate. >> i'm prepared to go out and make my case as to why i think he's failed and why i think the answers i have to perceive will help the american people and the american economy and make it safe. it is going to be difficult. my guess is it is going to be straight attack. they will be mostly personal. that's the only thing he knows how to do. he's not that smart. he doesn't know that many facts. he doesn't know much about foreign policy. he doesn't know much about domestic policy. he doesn't know much about the detail. >> speaking about not that smart, yesterday donald trump was asked how he is preparing for the debate. >> we prepare every day. i think when you are president, you sort of see everything that they're going to be

but it is more donald trump's feelings. what would you say to military families reliving the pain of losing a dad, mom, brother or sister to hear the sitting commander in chief disparage their service. >> i tell them they have a choice when it comes to november 3 and they need to vote. they have safe guarded our liberty and values. i ask them to vote this coming november 3 and vote for someone they know will actually defend them. vote for a military family, the bide ens who know exactly what they are going through because they have gone through it. they have watched a loved one be deployed and wonder if he would make it home. wonder if a missed phone call means he's hurt. they know because they are a military family. make your voice heard at the battle box. they have advocates in me and other senators and congress persons who recognize and value and honor their sacrifices for this nation. we will not stand by and let this president trample on all of the things they stand for. >> something i think about a lot is the war on t

trump if donald trump had met with you? >> i would have never -- it wasn't a -- it's not a political opportunity to take a political stance for anything because the only thing that matters to me is my son. so it would have been a bunch of dead air. >> benjamin crump, as you know, at the white house yesterday donald trump said he would have been willing to meet with jacob blake's family, but he didn't want lawyers present. he didn't mention your name, but he was saying that he understood that you wanted to be present, and therefore i guess in donald trump's way of describing this, you're the reason he didn't meet with the family. >> lawrence, mr. blake, miss julia, and their family has every right to have their legal representatives present, especially when they are meeting with any government figure that may ultimately be able to decide the accountability of the police officers who shot their son seven times in the back in front of their three little boys. especially with a department of justice investigation going, you abs

just enough that donald trump won by 78,000 votes. and one thing -- >> well, steve, let me jump in and then i'm going to give you the mic back. since we have been talk about moderator rules around here, i'll give you a chance to respond. to be a little millennial about it, he was chasing that 2016 race. the undercounting of the number of support including the racials getting it tomorrow, i take your point, i imagine many objective people would agree with the look of what donald trump looked like and sounded like, and yet -- and yet is still this support network for him, as long as he can disrupt these debates so they don't become a further expose igs of his failure in office. >> what i will say that is that there is a mythology the polling was wrong. the polling was showed on that hillary clinton win, win the votes by 2.5%. she should have been in michigan. she should have in other states. hillary clinton shouldn't have stopped their polling operation. all water under the bridge. here's the point and 2016 are different elections. ever

trump's handling, and donald trump had a couple strong answers, on the law and order section where it was clear if you care about violence in the streets, stuff going on now and trump was your guy. the nuanced answer on climate change which many people expected and people painted biden into a corner, split up his base, to allow more moderate stance that would upset the left or vice versa but overall there wasn't all that much left in this debate. jillian: more interesting moments. some would argue there worst moments on defense. refusing to answer a question about packing the courts. >> we built the greatest economy when the plague came in, closed it down which is hard psychologically to do. >> are you willing to tell the american people whether you will support packing the court? >> no law enforcement, name one group that supports you. >> we don't have time. other debates where joe biden was trying to deflect a little bit. >> those are the worst moments for joe biden when he was asked a question and answer, the idea of having more than 9 justices on the supreme court, if joe biden do

donald trump. that is a scenario i had not considered before hearing it here tonight. >> and it puts a whole new cast on the gymnastics that the trump administration and now bill barr are going through to try to get flynn protected. i mean, he did cooperate to a certain extent with the mueller investigation. and then he stopped. and then he was going to go to prison. and then they intervened to make this thing go away so he doesn't have to go to prison. if he was lying to the fbi because he was protecting the president from being exposed for his secret communications with the russian government during the transition, i mean, that's a whole different thing. that would also put a very different cast on any effort by the president to pardon mike flynn because even though the president's pardon power is absolute, you can't pardon somebody to protect yourself, at least arguably. so the strzok book is really, i think, quite important. >> and that would also have possibly included some kind of communicati

troops, donald trump has said nothing. of course, the poisoning of yet another political opponent, donald trump has said nothing and he has not been as forceful on belarus. but poland has been. .you have been, obviously. what should the united states -- what should our alliance, our nato alliance do reporting bell ra reduce now? >> well, i'm actually glad that president trump has not spoken on belarus because, given his liking for the dictators around the world, he might -- we would worry that he might support lukashenko, which would be terrible. it is an abdomen ry investigatin of u.s. leadership, but perhaps in this case, it would be good. >> let's get to belarus and this opposition leader who was kidnapped and is being held. what is the status of her situation personally? what is being done to try and help her, but also tell us about the opposition that is taking place in belarus right now and in many ways being led by women and what parallels can you draw in what has happened in other countries? >> lukashenko used to m

donald trump rambled on from there. and his last line was, quote, that was a peaceful protest totally. so in trump world if trump supporters fire paint balls at you, they are being totally peaceful. and they have every right to do that, according to donald trump. donald trump proves once again today that every word joe biden said about him today is absolutely true. donald trump is planning to take his re-election campaign of fear to kenosha, wisconsin tomorrow. wisconsin's governor and the mayor of wisconsin have both asked the president to stay away. governor tony evers said i, along with other community leaders, are concerned about what your presence will mean for kenosha and our state. i am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. i am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome vision and move forward together. and leading off our discussion tonight is the lieutenant governor of wisconsin. lieutenant governor barnes, thank you very much for joining us tonight. what are you feeling tonig

they pay more taxes than donald trump. abraham lincoln in 1864 paid more taxes than donald trump. 151 years ago. he paid more in hush money to stormy daniels than he pays in taxes. it is disgusting. it is hypocritical. it is unacceptable. and, look, i know it's not going to change the mind of his base. i know that, but i hope that the very small sliver of undecided voters take a look at this and realize we cannot have a guy in the presidency who uses the presidency and the bully pulpit to promote and sell memberships in his club and at his golf courses and to drive the, you know, government business to his properties in order to save his brand. we cannot afford that as a country. he's nothing but a scam. >> carl, i want to bring you in here because the "times" shows that president trump has more than $300 million in loans that will come due over the next 4 years. and we know nothing of who he owes that debt to. so, could he be compromised? >> of course, he can be compromised. let's start at the beginning, though, about wha

. >> esto es algo extraño, comenzamos con impustos de donald trump esta noche tenemos más revelaciones de las finanzas del presidente, el diario de new york times publicó otra entrega de reportes de impuestos de donald trump, su fama en televisión lo salvó de crisis financiera, lo que más reacciones despertó es que el presidente donald trump pagó solamente 750 dólares de impuestos sobre la renta en su primer año en la casa blanca sin pagar nada en 10 de los últimos 15 años, donald trump evitó que el momento llegara, es el primer presidente que se niega a divulgar sus impuestos, jabvier vegas cuéntanos buenas noches . >> buenas noches julio no solamente un presidente que pagó nada, sino que un empresario con pérdidas millonarias, dice la presidenta de la cámara de representantes que es asunto de vulnerabilidad nacional, por sus compromisos . >> apenas pagó 750 dólares de impuestos en el año que gamó las elecciones, todo esto según revisión en el new york times después de ganancias del presidente donald trump, en 15 de los años previos no pagó la renta . >> si una

joe biden pays more taxes than donald trump and everyone watching the debate pays more than donald trump pays. the number $750 because it was in the "times" report, there were more years he paid zero than the number of years he paid $750. and certainly what you have here is the answer to the question why did candidate donald trump refused to disclose his tax returns in 2015 when all the other candidates were doing it but he was against it and why did he continue to refuse to do that in 2016 and now we know. because it was going to show he paid zero income tax and no one seen the actual tax returns. >> we got a statement from the trump organization in reaction to this new york times story. here is a statement he provided to nbc news. "the new york times" story is riddled with gross inaccuracies. over the years, the president paid tens of millions of taxes. while we tried to explain this, they refused to listen. he goes onto say quote "of course, i can't help but question the timinging of the article, thanksfully most people see this for what it is, another smear to the run off to the elec

called jonathan green burg to make the case that donald trump was donald trump under the pseudo name was much richer. i'm told by people that know from there are three things he cares about and sadly for the country, the democracy he leads, they have nothing to do with the rule of law or america's national security. there are questions about the size of his wealth. questions about his virility, his sexual prowess and his intelligence. what do you make of what's going on at the white house in the trump campaign right now? >> well, first of all, those three elements, nicole, suggest a profound narcissist. we can just say that. up front. although i'm not clinically qualified to make that judgment, but it seems that way. let's be clear. donald trump said in the art of the deal that he deals in effect with people's fantasies. that he knows that people want the spectacular, right? he says he engages in truthful hyperbole. i don't know how true that adjective actually is. but he knows he's playing on the field of people's fantasies. and now that that's been pierced and people see him for wh

but donald trump is just trying to consolidate power. and anytime you have a sitting president of the united states basically call upon a terrorist organization like the proud boys to go out and intimidate people at the polls, that should have been the end of the debate. i thought -- >> well, let's go -- >> -- tonight was an embarrassment. i don't think there should be any more debates. >> let's go into that. you say there should be no more debates. americans will exercise their own choice of their time. they may not watch any more debates. yet that was such an important historic low point. i want to go to you and then ayesha on what it means to have this president, who has sown so much racial discord, who refused to condemn that white supremacy on that stage tonight. >> well, yeah. ari, here's the thing. it's not just that he refused -- >> i'm sorry. i'll go jason and then ayesha. >> oh, i'm sorry. yeah, it's not that he just refused. he basically told them, you know, be ready. get your guns cocked. if you looked on instagram, the proud

donald trump needs a choice. a choice between his ability to recover the economy and joe biden's failed record and ideas. biden needs a referendum on trump. and trump's strategy, overplaying, kept him at the center of the race tonight, which means it's still all about him. and if you believe the polling, that's not a winning hand. >> so, scott, what would donald trump do or what should he do in a second debate? >> i mean, i don't know. i mean, you go out -- look. at some point, he has to say, here's what i am going to do in a second term. here's joe biden. he's radical left. here's what they want to do. and, america, you may not love it all but you know my policies are going to get us back to normal faster than his. that's the simple framing of the race. and everything about the economy and regular life and whatever. it all has to be put in that box. and every day they don't put this race that thin that box is day. and by the way, people are voting right now. they have limited time to make that case so i guess th

president donald trump, i think you all figured out a while ago, president donald trump is the real deal. a man who says what he me -- says what he means and means what he says. he never quits. never backs down. tohas never stopped fighting keep the promises that he made to the people of pennsylvania. now it's our turn to fight for him. so i need you to bring it. [applause] bring all your enthusiasm. talk to your neighbors and friends and every day between now and election day. when you get out there, have faith. have faith that even in these divided times that every time the american people have been presented a choice between a future of more freedom or a less freedom, the american people choose freedom every time. have faith in your neighbors and friends. them i was over at the construction company, iran into mike. [laughter] say, he talked for a half-hour giving us a summary of everything we got done under this president. everything we have done for the american people. talk to your neighbors and friends and because it in. i encourage you to have that other kind of faith. it seems as

and that's what donald trump didn't do. and as a result, we have the worst situation, the worst rate of coronavirus deaths and cases of any advanced country by a huge margin. >> i'm curious about the conclusion woodward draws. he is old school. he knows that. he has a pretty high bar for issuing conclusions. one way that he has gotten in and out of administrations, more than one book, is often by letting all the stories speak for themselves. i think you have to go back to nixon or ever to find bob woodward saying straight up, let me be clear before november, the president failed to warn the public of danger and then again even further for your thoughts as a writer, he says when his performance is taken in its entirety, i can only reach one conclusion. trump is the wrong man for the job. >> sure. if you take that, you probably draw the same conclusions. now, in the, the most broadest latitude that you can imagine in terms of presidential obfuscation, there are legitimate points at which the president does not want to inform

donald trump is polling behind where donald trump finished four years ago in most states. donald trump cannot afford to lose a single voter who helped him squeak out a victory four years ago and according to the polls he has already lost millions of those voters. tonight, a fox poll shows behind where he finished in each state they polled four years ago. donald trump won pennsylvania by less than 1% four years ago. 44,000 votes out of 6.1 million votes cast and tonight donald trump is running behind joe biden by seven points, which is at least 400,000 votes, possibly more than that because the voter turn-out will be bigger. donald trump won ohio four years ago by eight points, and tonight donald trump is running five points behind joe biden in ohio. donald trump knows he is losing voters in every state and he knows he is going to lose the national vote by several million votes. and so for donald trump, it all comes down to get rid of the ballots. there is really no other choice for him. but it does present republicans with a choice. what do we do about a presidential candi

media, this is not a one time off thing for donald trump. we think there's great value we kind of use it to really up close analyze the trump playbook. >> that's the other thing about this hill tv report, ultimately hill tv doesn't quite write a retraction of this but they acknowledge that there reporting methods were improper that they should have identified the journalist who did it as an opinion journalist, not somebody who was just a straightforward news guy. by then, it's not that the horse is out of the barn, it's like a herd of horses is out of the barn. they already achieved with this journalistically suspect report, what they wanted to achieve, isn't that correct? >> yes, and the messaging, one of the things that donald trump, and we document how the democrats were really kind of, to match the amazing messaging machine out of the white house, they are simple, it's a hoax, it's a witchhunt, get out early, call it collusion, but the story, even if it's not correct, just set the tone, make it simple and the democrats time and time agai

world from donald trump. what donald trump thinks about on golf courses. what dr. anthony fauci thinks about donald trump and what donald trump's seemingly worshipful son-in-law actually says about donald trump behind his back. and that son-in-law, jared kushner, today, appeared on "the today show" and he disputed a passage in bob woodward's book here is that passage on page 264. "and by the way," kushner added, "that's why the most dangerous people around the president are overconfident idiots." it was apparently a reference to mattis, tillerson and gary cohn. all had left if you look at the evolution over time, we've gotten rid of a lot of the overconfident idiots and now he's got a lot more thoughtful people who kind of know their place and know what to do. utterly lost on jared kushner is the irony that other members of the trump administration portray him as one of the overconfident idiots working for donald trump in the woodward book >> so you were not referring -- i just want to be clear, because you j

trump, he wanted to be a referendum on donald trump and if he thinks that donald trump is doing things that are counter—productive, he is happy to leave the stage to donald trump. joe biden is very deliberately keeping a very low profile, it would be almost impossible to give equal time tojoe biden impossible to give equal time to joe biden and impossible to give equal time tojoe biden and donald trump whenjoe biden tojoe biden and donald trump when joe biden is tojoe biden and donald trump whenjoe biden is doing so little. there is this thing called the pool, you have pull reporters covering trump from all the news organisations, mainly in the us. joe biden pulled a lead, i.e. there will be no further activity, at 10am the other day. there is no further activity to report on. whereas donald trump is fiercely energetic, loves the rallies and love giving news conferences, love speaking in front of the helicopter he loves opening his mouth. and so inevitably you will get more donald trump. there are other viewers who feel that you are too negative and sneering about donald trump. i don

the case against donald trump. the question is her story and the vantage point from which he tells it enough to tip the scales even just a little bit? more specifically, are undecided voters convinced? according to the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll only 11% of americans say they still don't know who they're going to vote for six weeks from today. joining us now, robert gibbs plus political strategist and former of the lincoln project, steve schmidt. robert gibbs, i am so intrigued by this group of former trump folks, miles taylor, really taken on if role of chief troll of the white house. his twitter feed is a delight to people who have been making these arguments for four years. elizabeth newman w, who i have d on my program and makes the arguments against donald trump from the point of a christian. she quoted scripture yesterday in making the case against donald trump. and now olivia troye, who was a member of the trump/pence coronavirus task force and is telling tales about what animated donald trum

donald trump rambled on from there. and his last line was, quote, that was a peaceful protest totally. so in trump world if trump supporters fire paint balls at you, they are being totally peaceful. and they have every right to do that, according to donald trump. donald trump proves once again today that every word joe biden said about him today is absolutely true. donald trump is planning to take his re-election campaign of fear to kenosha, wisconsin tomorrow. wisconsin's governor and the mayor of wisconsin have both asked the president to stay away. governor tony evers said i, along with other community leaders, are concerned about what your presence will mean for kenosha and our state. i am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. i am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcomedy vision and move forward together. and leading off our discussion tonight is the lieutenant governor of wisconsin. lieutenant governor barnes, thank you very much for joining us tonight. what are you feeling ton

i think donald trump is a coward. but i don't think donald trump is really to do things that will sacrifice himself, but he'll sacrifice other people. he'll send other people out to do violent things. what's the most basic thing a president is supposed to do? protect the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic. well, in 2016, he was saying, russia, can you hear me? now he's asking for the proud boys. he's literally inviting foreign and domestic enemies in the united states to destroy this country. and you have to remember, donald trump doesn't care if america gets the story. all he cares about is if he stays in power. so i slauaw last night as the beginning of a very dangerous salvo. we saw it in virginia, where we saw right-wing groups trying to intimidate people voting. that's what we see continuing. that's the danger of what we see right now. >> matt miller, i see it the same way, as our friends claire and jason johnson do. i want to sort of empty my notebook and tell you my understanding of how the

and donald trump can't repeat that. donald trump can't condemn violence on both sides. so he has now taken this issue that should have been a positive for him and he's actually managed, i would love to have used a word that i can't use this morning -- he's actually managed to screw it up. how do you do that? you have to be so inept. you've got the meltdown going on and you're talking -- you're comparing the shooting of a black man seven times in the back to 3-foot putts. you're talking about teenage ninja mutant turtles in black ropes filling airplanes going to the rnc. you're talking about white women not being protected from invading black masses in low income housing. and you give joe biden this extraordinary opening. it's yet another missed opportunity for donald trump. and it's extraordinary how bad he is campaigning. >> right. and joe, just to, you know, moving -- just focussing on the kenosha of it, right. we talked about last week in a very heavy law and order convention with trump running that play book, how -- what an amazing -- what an easy opportunity. what

joe biden pays for taxes than donald trump. the moderator pays more tax than drumplt everyone watching the debates pay more than donald trump pace. >> the number $750, tlorp more years that he paid zero than the years he paid $750. he decided to pay $750 when he became president. and then keep this hidden so no one would know amounts. certainly whauf here is the teens the question why did candidate donald trump refuse to disclose his tax returns in 2015 when all the other candidates were diegt that he was running against. why did he don't refuse to do t that in the 2016 and now we know. because it was going to show that he pays zero income tax and no one's every seen a presidential tax return like that. >> we just got a statement from alone garten in reaction to the story. here's his statement quotes: the new york times story is riddles when inaccuracies. the president has paid 10s of millions of dollars to the federal government. while we tried explain this to the times he jekted our repeated request that they show us any docu

trump if donald trump had met with you? >> i would have never -- it wasn't a -- it's not a political opportunity to take a political stance for anything because the only thing that matters to me is my son. so it would have been a bunch of dead air. >> benjamin crump, as you know, at the white house yesterday donald trump said he would have been willing to meet with jacob blake's family, but he didn't want lawyers present. he didn't mention your name, but he was saying that he understood that you wanted to be present, and therefore i guess in donald trump's way of describing this, you're the reason he didn't meet with the family. >> lawrence, mr. blake, miss julia, and their family has every right to have their legal representatives present, especially when they are meeting with any government figure that may ultimately be able to decide the accountability of the police officers who shot their son seven times in the back in front of their three little boys, especially with an department of justice investigation going, you ab

just like donald trump. two house democrats are urging the director of national intelligence to make public what they argue is crucial information about the extent to which foreign actors are exploiting recent racial and social unrest in the united states to advance their own agendas. congresswoman val demings wrote to the director of national intelligence, quote, we strongly believe that keeping all this information classified will severely hinder our ability to combat foreign meddling and will potentially allow the united states government to repeat the same mistakes as 2016. joining our discussion is val demings of florida. she's a member of the house intelligence committee and the house judiciary committee. congresswoman demings, thank you very much for joining us tonight. i just want to begin with your reaction to what we have learned in jeffrey goldberg's reporting tonight about president trump refusing to visit an american military cemetery in france because he was afraid his hair would not survive th

that is a winning message for mike pence and donald trump. todd: it will be interesting to see if donald trump can win philadelphia, he's not going to win philadelphia but when enough votes in philadelphia to carry that statement interesting to see what the fracking holds for joe biden in the pittsburgh area. we appreciate your time and insight, thank you very much. jillian: in the next hour of "fox and friends first" nancy pelosi getting a lot of heat for getting her hair done without a mask while salons stay shot in her hometown. todd: radio host tony katz reacts to the apparent hypocrisy coming up. the worst genocide in human history also destroyed the lives of thousands of jewish survivors still suffering today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day which is impossible. this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to se

donald trump is clear. we can see from what the "times" has done, he will take money from anyone for any person. he is a sheer con man. >> carl, i think -- carl, the ghost of leona helmsly can tell you whether it is criminal to lie in your taxes. when you are telling the irs that you are poor and have huge losses but you are telling banks that you are seeking loans from that your assets are worth much more than they are, it does not take being a tax attorney to know that there is a real legal problem there and that explains why he has gone to such lengths, why he has gone to some of the highest courts in the land to try to keep his tax returns hidden. it explains why he will not release these tax returns. i mean, listen, if he wants to prove all of us wrong, all he's got to do is show the receipts, right? "the new york times" is -- >> i agree with you. >> listen, guys, i have to move onto the next segment. i'm glad you mentioned what it means legally. thank you all. i want to bring in someone who knows. i w

donald trump? why do they infringe on their most basic freedoms? the freedoms for which washington crossed the delaware river. the freedoms for which grant fought during the civil war. the freedoms for which american soldiers went to vietnam and sack fied so much. the freedom for which our soldiers and sailors and airmen and marines for 230 years have fought for the freedom for you not to wear a mask. because that's what donald trump is saying. but jonathan lemire, of course, it's all nonsense. it's really -- it's all dangerous, dangerous superstition. and donald trump would rather people die than stop lying, stop carrying through on the lie that he's been telling the american people since this spring. even though, privately he admits he knows this is bad and it's airborne. >> well, first of all, joe, apologizes for borrowing mike barnicle's audio this morning. but you're right, from the early days of the pandemic, the president decided to politicize masks. once there was a consensus that masks wer

>> it's the different donald trump. it's not the donald trump as the president. it was the former donald trump. and the donald trump i was referring to in that paragraph was the fun donald trump. anthony will attest to this. we had a lot of good times together. going out for dinner with him was always, it was a celebration. and going to even the clubs where you're treated. >> yankee games. yankee games. >> yeah. the u.s. open. i mean, there was a lot of good moments. and when donald trump is good, he's good. but when he's bad, he's worse than evil. >> michael cohen will stay with us on another piece of this. but what about the mental process you have to go through? i show those other examples. so much is polarized right now. it is easy to forget that if a belief system is based on something false, as long as you're debating the underlying falsehood, you're not really going to move anyone. i mentioned those people because they did like donald trump. they were not mad that donald trump did something in their view that was terrible. they were just mad he didn't have

they may argue oh, donald trump interrupts joe biden. it didn't help donald trump. quite frankly, donald trump needed to be quiet. it would have been a better strategy for him to let biden go on at length. we have seen in previous debates, 2019, early 2020, if biden is on to go on at length, you might have a possibility for a biden gaff. the problem is, constantly talking over biden, trump didn't even get that -- i mean, you talked about ali/foreman. you talked about rope-a-dope, but trump was the dope. >> christina. >> yeah, i think trump was allowing him to spin him into butter at times. what's really disappointing, ari, someone, i know vicki and i have talked about this in the past with you, ari, as someone who is trying to inspire a future generation to be interested in politics participatory in politics, this isn't a person going to a dinner party eating their food, this is eating their food with their feet. that's what it was. what have we decided about health care? what have we decided about the 210,000 americans who died from cov covid. and the millions more
