trump: well, look. we get along well. there are certain things i love what he does and there are certain things that i don't like that he does. do --ot that he doesn't he works so hard, he's doing an excellent job in many ways, there are a couple of things where it's just not his strength. it's not his fault, it's not his strength. >> such as? trump: i have not even thought about john in terms of this. john will move on. >> the 2020 is no longer -- trump: it could be. but let's see what happens. i have three or four or five positions on thinking about. maybe it's going to end up being two. but i need flexibility. host: what do you make of the president openly talking with the american people about what he likes and what he doesn't like? guest: you notice, he wasn't very specific about kelly. i suspect that one of the things he's referring to, one of the areas where he things that john kelly is weak as with his political ability. his ability to get things done on capitol hill. having said that, i really think that none of

>> president trump: no. >> chris: why not? >> president trump: it just won't happen. i think the eight year limit is a good thing, not a bad thing. >> chris: we talked a lot about the cemetery and the fact they didn't go because it was a security concern and you did go the next day. >> president trump: excuse me, not security concern. they wouldn't allow me to go. they said -- secret service said sir, you cannot go, we are not prepared. you cannot go because there was supposed to be a helicopter but the helicopter couldn't fly. they said you cannot go. >> chris: here's the question, you are back in washington on monday, veterans day, why don't you go across the river to arlington for that ceremony? barack obama went every year he was here in d.c. >> president trump: i should have done that. i was extremely busy on the calls for the country. we did a lot of calling, as you know. >> chris: but this is veterans day. >> president trump: in retrospect i should have, and i did last year and i will virtually every year but we had come in very late at night and i had just lef

amy: president trump fires attorney general jeff sessions, replacing him with matthew whitaker, a trump loyalist who has been called -- has called special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation a witch hunt. will robert mueller be next? we speak with david cole, national legal director of the american civil liberties union and elizabeth holtzman, former -- the youngest member of the watergate committee that voted to impeach richard nixon, author of the new book "the case for impeaching trump." >> richard nixon did not care about the law. he wanted the special prosecutor out of the way. and while it i is not an exaxact similarity here because so far we don't know that there is a cover-up, but what we have is the same mentality of abusing power, of taking power into your own handnds and saying, "i'm first. not america first, i'm first." amy: then to new mexico, where deb haaland d has made history. >> you are sending one of the very first native american women to congress! today we all came together and we said we still believe in the american dream and american democracy and in ho

trump: ready? then you are going to -- if that happens, then we will do the same thing, and government comes to a halt, and i would blame them, because they now are going to be coming up with policy. they are the majority in the house. i expect that they will come up with some fantastic ideas that i can support on the environment, on so many different things. including prescription drug prices, which we have made a big dent in already, including some of the things that we are working on for the vets. we have gotten choice approved, we have got a lot of things approved, but they have other elements we want. there are many things we can get along on without a lot of trouble, that we agree very much with them, and they agree with us. i would like to see bipartisanship. i would like to see unity, and i think we have a very good chance -- and maybe not on everything, but i think we have a very good chance of seeing that. go ahead. >> one question on the lame duck, sir, and one on your cabinet. you toyed

donald trump and vladimir putin will be at the g 20 summit but donald trump says they will not be sitting down to talk about nuclear arms control. he says is his off. kristin fisher has more details. >> reporter: nuclear arms control was one of the most divisive issues of the trump meeting at the g 20 summit and that has been canceled, senate republicans are pressing donald trump to keep the heat on russia in regard to two nuclear arms treaties especially after the recent aggression against ukraine. four days after russian forces shot at and seized the ukrainian navy vessel, 25 senate republicans send donald trump a letter urging him to reconsider, the obama era nuclear treaty which russian president vladimir putin wants to extend when the treaty expires in 2021. they say, quote, the value of the treaty depends on a sustained and vigorous us nuclear weapons modernization program, strict compliance by russia with arms control obligations and a true balance of nuclear capabilities between the parties, none of which is happening, according to republican senators who signed on to the letter.

trump officials seem to know it's coming. you've heard reports all week that donald trump and west wing staffers are waiting, waiting for the bad news to break. it seems like it's only a matter of time. even george conway, kellyanne's husband think it's in trouble. here's what he said. >> the administration is like a [ bleep ] show in a dumpster fire, and i'm like i don't want to do that, i don't know. and then it's like then you've got the comey firing and then you've got him going on tv saying i have russia on my mind, and it's like oh, no. and then it's like -- then, you know, i'm driving home one day from new york and it's like robert mueller appointed special counsel because i realize this guy is going to be at war with the justice department. >> so that -- that is how the husband of the counselor to the president sees the russia investigation. well, today donald trump faced the cameras again and insisted he's not worried at all and that he's already done his russia homework. trump claimed he's completed his written resp

trump. he arrives just minutes from now in argentina for the g20 summit. just before he left for the airport as crow know michael cohen, his former trusted advisor and lawyer stood up and admitted to lying about trump business dealings with russia. he admitted the dealings continued far into the campaign up to and including when candidate trump was the republican nominee. the charging document lays out conversations mr. cohen had with russians, including a close adviser to vladamir putin about the potential trump tower project in moscow. they went on, according to the document, until mid june of 2016, "on or about june 14th," according to the charging document. why is that date important? that happens to be the date that "the washington post" broke a big story that russia had hacked the democratic national committee. the timeline is far longer than what mr. cohen told the house and senate intelligence committees last year. today he said he lied to help the president. i'm quoting, i was aware

he talked to trump more times. they have not given us an exact number but he spoke with the president repeatedly about this. and they also say he briefed members of the president's family. and, of course, don jr., at least, has also testified on the hill. we were closely reviewing the one transcript that's been public from his appearances there to the judiciary committee today to see how they square. i would imagine that mueller's office is looking at his appearances that we don't have in front of senate and house intelligence as well to see whether or not he was truthful about these events. >> we should note that the wall street journal reporting that investigators have e-mails from late 2015-2016 in which cohen copies don jr. and ivanka on exactly this, that ivanka recommended an architect. we'll talk more about as the night goes on. thank you both for being with me. >>> i want to bring in daniel goldman. the first question i want to ask you, and tom made this point earlier when he was talking to some of us here

trump's business dealings with russia. we're assessing the potential db damage to the president from michael cohen's stunning plea agreement with robert mueller. >>> 70 hours. cnn has learned that cohen talked extensive with the pounds n multiple meetings on a variety of topics. and a well-placed source tells me that mueller knows everything. what else has cohen revealed? "weak person." president trump slams his former fixer for flipping saying cohen is telling lies now to reduce his prison time. but is the president's current lawyer, rudy giuliani, undermining his argument? >>> and passing on putin. as mr. trump heads to the g20 summit in argentina, he abruptly cancels his meeting with the russian president citing the crisis in ukraine. given the timing right after the cohen guilty plea, is that explanation believable? >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, you're in "the situation room." >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> we're following a major breaking story now.

trump: what? no, they are all finished. the written answers are finished. i don't know, the lawyers have them. i don't know. they will. they will. the written answers to the witchhunt that has been going on forever. no collusion, no nothing. they have been finished. finished them yesterday. the lawyers have them. i assume they will turn them in today or soon. >> [indiscernible] pres. trump: no, i am going to a war zone, yeah. >> [indiscernible] pres. trump: what? >> are you happy with the sanctions on iran? pres. trump: yeah, the sanctions on iran are very strong, very powerful. they are sanctions i think that have had a tremendous impact. more sanctions are going on. we have a lot of tremendous support, and iran is not the same country it was when i became president. it is a much different country. and hopefully at some point we will be able to make a fair deal and help iran and help the people of iran. >> when you talk about the markets today, do you really believe the dems are behind the market

congress a referendum on the trump presidency. will a blue wave of democrats shift the balance of power in what's at stake for europe and the more. join me on election night for our special coverage of the u.s. midterm elections here on the w. . that is going to be tomorrow night starting right here just a little bit after midnight here central european time will right now with the big table i'm joined by dr handy really he is head of the u.s. a transatlantic relations program at the german council on foreign relations mr it is good to have you back on the show so we're all having we're on this side of that big pond looking at these elections i mean from where we're sitting what do the what do the mid-term elections mean and what's at stake for for the transatlantic world on this election eve it's a question in how far the trump. donald trump's policies of disruption and reshuffling and bilateralism are supported by this mid-term elections most people in the u.s. don't vote over foreign policy but it's a question of whether he see

campaign or president trump himself. so now what they are doing is they are in spasms of vindictive prosecution, unethical prosecution just to get somebody to get something to get close to the president. it is outrageous. i hope that the next attorney general, the permanent attorney general, who i hope the president will nominate soon, will take control of this. one of the first things he should do, the new attorney general, after sworn in, is have a meeting with mr. mueller, find out what's going on, where he is going and when he is going to end. that's a duty that the next attorney general has, because this investigation by mueller is unkonts constitutional, founded on no crime, created by rod rosenstein because he is a gutless failure of an attorney general. he should be ashamed of himself. the new attorney general should fire rosenstein asap. >> people ask, why do you bring up clinton? number one, these very same people that have attacked this president, peter strzok, paige, comey, they all set this up. they allowed

. >> michael cohen flips on donald trump. tonight the massive trump lie exposed by his former fixer. >> have no business whatsoever with russia. when i run for president that doesn't mean i'm not allowed to do business. >> and why today's revelation is just the tip of the iceberg. >> i think this is just a preview of coming attractions. >>> plus, new breaking details about donald trump and the so-called moscow project. >> it's basically two old friends saying, hey, our guy can become president. >> what we know about matt whitaker's role in today's cohen flip. >> i'll do anything to protect mr. trump. >> why the president's family is now exposed like never before. >> time and time again, lie after lie. >> when "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. the president of the united states has been lying to the american people for years now, lying that he was ever doing any business with the foreign power which was at the same time committing criminal acts to help get him elected president. >> i m

speculation to lead us in particular the president of russia vladimir putin the us president donald trump media speculation was rife for weeks on end how would that meeting take place would there be a meeting a tool which leader would show who what signals would that send to the world and indeed to other leaders how would the french maybe president's. take such a meeting taking place. during this very special commemorative event. hughes to get some inside knowledge on the american side of things and how the whole thing was viewed from the other side of the atlantic this time they're actually being very tight lipped in fact this weekend that was something very uncharacteristic of a trumpet mystery of it is that we didn't have a lot of details we didn't have the behind the scenes being leaked out to the new york times the washington post which makes me think that possibly the leaks might have been locked down or more importantly we're talking about such serious issues that even those who might have leaked to the past are. that is to not in the best interest of either cards or any of the par

>> i don't know. >> you know trump. you have a book called "trump's enemies." and you won't tell me why he would do that? >> in that picture there are some enemies of trump. the guys who use their badges to spy on americans on domestic soil because they don't like their political parties, mccabe, those guys are enemies and there has to be accountability. >> why are they enemies of trump? >> what made them enemies were they used their badges as fbi agents. they had an insurance policy to make sure donald trump was never elected. >> the democrats? >> no, no. they didn't want donald trump. >> basically you're saying these are the most idiotic conspiracy theorists because if they're goal was to stop the president from getting elected, they failed tremendously. the issue is the terminology and the visuals this president puts out endangers people. that leads to crazy people in this country committing violence. that's why this is dangerous. it's not just cute or people lying. it endangers the sanctity of this country and our elections and our integrity. >> did obama k

well what we're seeing is a president trump is consistent in his trump in rhetoric and he promotes the america first agenda his rhetoric should be understood with and the context of the . american mode at the moment and the american mode whether it is in the media or in the foreign policy establishment or with india congress that business as usual between the united states and saudi arabia cannot continue and and this path that we have been on dow for the past two years will not no longer be tolerated so president trump was essentially trying to provide rhetorical support for salvaging what is left of the u.s. saudi relationship because the congress is now moving forward with imposing sanctions on to saudi government including potentially on prince mohammed himself but do you think it strange that doesn't fully absolve mohammed bin solomon of involvement in this matter when he says it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event that he's still very much sitting on the fence isn't he. i think that he is deliberately seeking to be ambiguous about it becaus

why do you think trump went there? >> that's exactly like my last point, you want to draw contrast to the other party? not your own party. >> it's unbelievable. >> the interesting thing too, it's distracting for the candidates. now they have to pick a side in some of these elections and don't want to be in that position and the other position, it doesn't square with the facts. like you said, paul ryan raised and spent for a republican candidates out there, $110 million through the congressional leadership fund. right now, at this very moment, on like a 50 city, 12 state tour trying to help these vulnerable members. so. >> real quick before you guys go. i know they're all importantl bt what's the one you are really looking at on tuesday? >> the one i mentioned. small in new mexico and new jersey, cheryl, a woman, a vet. one of the women we've been talking about forever who's really strong and emblematic of the kind of people we have running. >> quick kentucky six. it's a district that trump won big and right now, it's a

look, she has said outrageous stuff -- david: breaking in here, president trump and melania trump arriving tat opera house in -- arriving at the opera house in buenos aires argentina for a wonderful evening of meeting and greeting. sometimes what's get done in the hallways gets more done than at the roundtables where they are supposed to be discussing. they are arriving amid of a lot of things that are going on involving trade, in the united states not only with china which is the focus of the dinner tomorrow night with president xi, but also today with the formerly nafta trade deal now called the usmca between mexico and canada and the united states. the problem with that is it has to go through congress, where it could get stuck because of a lot of bipartisan wrangling over what should be in it. there's the official photograph of the president, along with president of argentina. he is there -- i believe he will be leaving on sunday after his saturday night dinner. go ahead, foster, as we're watching the president, you want to talk about ocasio cortez. go ahead. >> well, the lord has bles

trump later thanked mr. pecker for his assistance. >> it's not entirely clear that what trump has done is illegal without one additional element which was actually mentioned in that wall street journal story. under campaign finance law, for it to be a crime, you have to know what you're doing is illegal. it's quite possible that trump did know that but that's another element that trump did need to show, that he knew what he was doing was not just shady but in violation of campaign finance law. >> it's also quite possible that pecker has been involved in even shadier things with trump. as with harvey weinstein, there have been stories that pecker has made catch-and-kill agreements to kill stories where weinstein was accused of sexual assaulting people. we don't know whether trump has done anything of that sort, though there was one woman who accused him of kissing her against her will and later signed an nda, a woman named jessica drake. if there was anything there, pecker might very well be spilling the bean

president donald trump attorney general jeff sessions the amount spent comes just hours after trump's republican party lost control of the house of representatives and chief state's midterm elections they would also increased its majority in the u.s. senate we'll have much more on the election and its aftermath in a few moments but first particle hain has this report on the man who was one of trump's earliest backus but his time at the justice department was troubled almost from day one. attorney general jeff sessions was an early and enthusiastic supporter of donald trump's bid for the white house. now when that bid succeeded president appointed his loyal supporter attorney general. but in his confirmation hearings sessions failed to tell the whole truth about a campaign error meeting he had with russian ambassador surrogate his lack session stunned washington. in with this statement in march of two thousand and seventeen and that is to do with it is was there any. investigations even. if. you know. sessions move enraged trump who saw it as enabling the probe into whether his campaig

trump's political messaging and out of loyalty to donald trump. in a court filing, special counsel robert mueller said cohen also lied to congress, "in hopes of limiting the ongoing russia investigations." >> but obviously, this is a very significant plea and statement. it means that when the president was representing during the campaign that he had no business interests in russia, that that wasn't true. >> reporter: other than cohen's lies to congress, today's charges don't allege any other illegal conduct. there was nothing illegal about the trump organization trying to get a project going in moscow. legal experts say today's charges suggest that mueller wanted cohen's testimony in court today to build a case against others in the trump orbit. >> additional charges down the road, if any, could include lying to congress, as mr. cohen admitted to, but it could be other charges as well. it could be people involved in transactions that in and of themselves were illegal. we don't know yet. >> reporter: mueller's team has now found there was at least

of a bargain in which kelly agrees not to tell trump stuff he does not want to hear, and trump keeps them there. and that's a bad formula for governing. i'm reluctant to name people or suggest people and quite frankly, as a said before, there are few people on the face of this earth who can tell donald trump what he does not want to hear. it's a tough situation greta brawner what about his family? including the first lady, who has been vocal about her displeasure with staff, he has his son-in-law and daughter who are advisors. what about the role that they play? does that help or hurt? chris whipple i think it helps. i think family always helps. and i think with trump, clearly gerrit and a vodka -- jared and ivanka and milani a have been helpful. i think they care about trying to make this white house unction more effectively. nancy reagan was famously called the white house personnel director. but she never suggested firing someone in public. as milani did recent. she may have more influence than we realize time the scenes. and we will see going forward, but family is important for

this is unusual because trump has made it about trump. sure enough, we're looking at "wall street journal" polling out today, seven out of 10 voters say they're viewing this as referendum on trump for better or worse. three in favor of trump. four not in favor of trump, viewing it as re ren dumb, yeah, bottom line, this is about trump. charles: ford, i will say this, they're talking about record-breaking amount of early voting, the amount of people that will cast their ballots for this midterm election may supersede anything ever seen in this country before. i say, i put that on president trump too. i think it is a good thing. getting all-americans involved in a civic duty. >> i think you're absolutely right. too often in politics we throw around terms like referendum and rejection without any historical context. as you noted the president's party tends to lose seats in congress. they lose 28 house seat and two to three senate seats. here is great anomaly, democrats pick up seats in the house, republicans pick up in the senate, first time

and they have fallen into donald trump's trap of just and they have fallen into donald trump's trap ofjust attacking him. none of the main issues are debated. none of the main issues are debated. no alternative is offered. there is no solution? so yes, he's in a fantastic position. saying that they have the house? they don't. 25 of the democrats are conservatives. who, in fact, the democrats are conservatives. who, infact, ask the democrats are conservatives. who, in fact, ask conservative leaders like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren not to come to the constituencies. the us politics is not so black and white. and in any case, trump does not have any domestic agenda now. he did in the first time, in the first two years with tax cuts and all of the other things he has attempted to change, like obama care. that has been stalled. now he will focus on foreign policy because he controls the senate. one of the battle grounds appears to be immigration. but that is also good for donald trump. possibly, because it is proving more popular. but that seems to be one of the things that really is in

it gives us a window into what was going on into the trump campaign and certainly the trump family in 2016, guys. >> okay. and we're going to get more on peskov and the person named as individual two in this information, because that's significant. but first i want our lawyers to weigh in on what evan just told us. >> i think evan is clearly correct that the response is going to be that michael cohen is a liar, he's trying to save his own skin. that's going to be the response from the trump camp, however, one problem trump is going to have or that trump lawyers or whoever is responding is going to have is that in this document its not just michael cohen's statements that are referred to. there are emails here about the continuing negotiations over trump tower in may of 2016 after the iowa caucuses, after donald trump is the presurfi -- nomine. trump forces are going to have to explain if he's making all this up that the deal was still going on, why is there emails about the deal in may of 2016? >> the president and his supporters call everyone who contradicts the president a liar or t

i saw donald trump alone. enraged that republicans were historically rejected despite having every structural advantage on their side by the voters. they rejected trumpism in america. that was a message heard across all four corners of the globe. mueller who is silent. obviously donald trump has to know indictments are coming. >> right. >> maybe for some people closer to him. i don't know. to me it looked not like america alone this weekend, it looked like trump alone. what was your take? >> it did. you could imagine him figuratively we don't know but maybe in his bathroom, bedroom in paris, thumping away, sending out tweets about forest fires at a time that any other president in american history would have been so proud to be in paris, celebrating the more than 116,000 americans who gave their lives in world war i. huge heroism. it doesn't take much. the other thing that imaginary president and i can remember a few of those presidents before 2017 would have done would have been proud to be there, reaffirming

trump. we have not seen the last of this particular issue. >> we know that wrangles the president. he is 5,200 miles from washington. abby, thank you. great reporting. >>> more details on the former lawyer and fixer turning on the president. michael cohen pleading guilty to lying to congress. admitting he misled lawmakers about the trump tower moscow project during the campaign in order to protect mr. trump. let's get more on that from cnn's evan perez. >> reporter: dave and christine, the former fixer michael cohen, pleaded guilty to congress over how much he knew about the moscow project and when it was terminated. telling the court he lied out of loyalty to the president. the plea agreement says the man who once said he would take a bullet for the president, gave information to special counsel robert mueller during more than 70 hours of questioning between august and november. the deal to build a trump tower in moscow was one of the many topics discussed according to a source. the court d

trump tower moscow is next. is that enough for you to look at all of the financial records of the trump organization going back to 2012? >> i don't want to comment on what period we're going to look at, the specifics of the next investigative steps. we have to prioritize as all the committees are, what are the most concerning issues, what are the investigative threats we were not allowed to pursue. if you look, chuck, and this is available publicly at the majority report on michael cohen, it accepted everything michael cohen said as perfectly true and proven. this, if anything, should show the flaw in the reasoning that you can accept people at face value when they testify if they have interest to the contrary. >> i am guessing the majority of that report may be in a shredder. adam schiff, incoming chair of the house intelligence committee. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >>> we know a lot of people would be happier if president trump hadn't been elected president. when president trump could be one of them.

donald trump? no, the elites, the financial, the corporate, the permanent class that runs washington, d.c., that's who did it. what was their solution? to create money and bail themselves out. on the day that happened, the balance sheet of the federal reserve was 880 billion dollars. when donald trump took the oath of office, january 20, 2017, it was 4.5 trillion dollars. flooded with liquidity, like the bank of tokyo, the bank of england, the european central bank. the party at davos, the leads bailed themselves out, afraid of some sort of deflationary spiral. that's not a free bailout. there's a corollary to that. savings accounts are zero. pension funds have the biggest gap in history. you can't underwrite a bond in the united states because you only get for a public school or water works you get 2%. the little guy. the little guy would bear the burden of that. if you've owned assets, intellectual property, stocks, real estate, hedge fund, name it, in the last ten years, you had the greatest run

day 678 of the trump administration. and we have new reporting from the "wall street journal" tonight. the story outlines what may have led to the collapse of the plea agreement between the ex-trump campaign chairman paul manafort and robert mueller. manafort now stands accused of lying to the feds. he is facing years in a federal penitentiary. the "journal" reports manafort's alleged lies have to do with his personal business ties and his work pre-2016. "manafort allegedly made inaccurate statements about his communications with konstantin kilimnik said people familiar with the matter. mr. kilimnik, who mr. mueller charged earlier this year along with mr. manafort, was trying to influence the testimony of two witnesses against mr. manafort. had worked for mr. manafort's lobbying firm in ukraine. manafort also allegedly misrepresented information about payments he received related to his lobbying work." we may find out more about what's next for manafort at the end of this week when a judge is expected to set a sentencin

we know that donald trump trump senior had a blocked number at the residence and in his office at trump tower and was it a a phone call to his dad, and if so, what was said in the phone call. there is a lot. and there is a lot here, andrea, and lot that we still don't know the definitive answer to, but again, there is a lot of coincidence, and when you are putting it altogether, it is not looking so great for donald trump or his family. we do know that it was said by senator burr that investigators knew that he lied because they were cooperating with the senate intelligence committee and who else was in that committee? who else gave them testimony? who else could have been incorrect in the testimony? who else is robert mueller looking at a? there are a number of names throughout that we have all been talking about and roger stone is one of them and don junior is another that have been coming up in court filings yet, but could they come up sooner and when you hear a denial from donald trump or michael cohen, it is clearer and clearer that you can't take the denials at face values, becaus

up next, president trump on the campaign trail. he is making it clear what the radical dimms are all about -- open borders. >> president trump: they're for open borders, which means crime. they are against law enforcement. they are totally against i.c.e. a vote for democrats is a vote for open borders. i think i would be a failed politician if i had had really promote open borders. everybody comes in. the democratic party is openly encouraging millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders and overwhelm our country. a vote for democrats is a vote to liquidate america's borders. democrats want open borders. they want to invite caravan after caravan into our country that brings crime upon crime. >> lou: we take up the president's plan to secure our borders and to fix our broken immigration laws. we'll be joined by the former congressman jason chaffetz right after these quick messages. stay with us. we'll be right back. i am a family man. i am a techie dad. i believe the best technology should feel effortless. like

trump about travel to russia. he then says, i would like to note i did not in fact travel there nor have i ever been to russia. he says, quote, i made these misstatements to be consistent to mr. trump's political messaging and out of loyalty to mr. trump. >>> at that point it kind of feels like it's over. but it turns out he left something out, something that turns out to be important. and so the prosecution sort of jumps in to fill that in. the judge at this point says, quote, any further allocution requested by the government? and the prosecutor from the special counsel robert mueller's office, rush atkinson, says, yes, your honor. as set forth in the criminal information, which is like an indictment except you get a criminal information when you plead guilty instead of going to trial. as set forth in the information, they reached out to the kremlin in 2016, he had not received any response. in fact, he had received a response from the kremlin. so, in essence, mr. cohen minimized his contacts with the russian go

the obama trump voter. the polls suggested a democrat re-creation of the midwestern loop wall and that would be built on the return of blue-collar democrats. their ancestral body and it did not happen. why they run in ohio and iowa. and why scott walker almost pulled it off. you also see it in the senate races. -- if you compare ,012 results for high camp indiana and missouri, if you look at the cities and suburbs they should have been returning. are prettytates rural, obama trump territory and they lost massively outside of those areas. that's why none of those races were close. >> i turned to the great political analyst and the borough to said trump unable to stop caravan of democratic women invading washington. that is one of the striking features of the election. in the next congress there will be at least 99 women among democrats in the house and senate to something like 19 for the republicans. the parties are different from what we have now in racial composition, not just at the look at ourut as we po

> you are not a trump fan? >> i know, shocking. maybe you haven't seen this thing called the internet. but i have said from the beginning, he does something i like i will support it. on the economic populism front, i thought his nafta correction was not as far as i would have gone, but it was good politics, better than nafta under bill clinton. i said it publicly and i will say it again, and to me, it is not republican in the sense of the party you ran. i'm very intrigued. like i said, glad it is not my party. fun to watch with popcorn. how do you move forward, because this is different especially economically, different agenda than the party when you were in it. >> it is very different. one of those dynamics, for those like myself who have been in the grassroots, and i think you put your finger on the core of where trump's energy comes from, it is around this sense of a community of people who felt economically alienated for generations. you look at the industries, whether it is manufacturing or coal or whatev

that's political death for donald trump. and so he'd rather talk about anything but that, and so he wants to, you know, tell us that this caravan is still coming and we should be scared and nervous about that instead of talking about how his policies are failing americans and failing to create the kind of jobs he promised he'd create. >> ron klain and maria, thank you for joining us tonight. >>> and when we come back tomorrow is election day in mississippi anyway in a run-off for a senate seat that is now a close race because the republican candidate has spoken approvingly of lynching, and of course that's the candidate donald trump is campaigning for tonight in mississippi. that's next. i wanted more from my copd medicine... ...that's why i've got the power of 1-2-3 medicines with trelegy. the only fda-approved 3-in-1 copd treatment. ♪ trelegy. the power of 1-2-3 ♪ trelegy 1-2-3 trelegy with trelegy and the power of 1-2-3, i'm breathing better. trelegy works 3 ways to... ...open airways,... ...keep them open... ...and r

i think the biggest issue in this election was pro-trump and anti-trump. democrats care about health care, republicans were more interested in immigration. i do not think it is going away and a divided government, again the president is going to use some of his executive powers to do things in that area, and i don't think it is an issue that he will back away from. >> if you ask it is going to get ugly, i think it will be ugly anyway. you cannot underestimate the degree of loathing, hatred and antipathy that the rank and file democrats feel for donald trump. you cannot underestimate the antipathy that a large portion of republicans feel for the democratic party and what they believe are their willing co-conspirators in the media. when you have 70 or 80 million people who love each other, he each-- who loat other, things can get ugly. >> paul ryan, among others, tried hard to get president trump to change his approach in the final days and weeks of the campaign. and a lot of his political advisers did, too. they prepared commercials on the economy, and he b

and president trump's daughter-in-law lara trump joins me to make her closing argument before tuesday's election. president trump: we are just days away from one of the most of important elections of our lives. this is a big one. this is a very important election. judge jeanine: breaking tonight. president trump making the case for his agenda at a rally in pensacola, florida, three days before the crucial mid-term elections. my next guest, lara trump joins me now. good evening, lara. >> hi, jeanine, great to be with you. judge jeanine: you are a strong female trump surrogate just back from west virginia and nevada. you were also on the road in 2016 and i was able to see you on part of that journey. compare 2016 to the 2018 mid-terms. is it different? is it similar? >> it's very similar. honestly one of the only differences imseeing is the president's name is not directly on the ballot. but i think people understand if you voted for him in 2016, to get out in the mid terms for republicans. the turnout everywhere, and the enthusiasm, the enthusiasm among women. this is something the democ

and so the opposition to trump has become also opposition to putin putin becomes trump trump becomes putin we need to decide that also so for intertwined and i want to talk about that in detail but before we get to that i want to talk about the and after it because that's the other big story around here so trump wants to pull out of it. his biggest argument actually being that china. arsenal is outside of its scope wouldn't just be easier to bring china anan actually in large channa well there's also the argument that russia's been violating the terms of the i.n.f. treaty which is i mean you don't withdraw from an arms control treaty you try to expand it you try to improve it but you know i come back to john bolton the neoconservative advisor who tromped brought in he was the architect of withdrawal from i would argue the most important stabilizing arms control agreed. in two thousand and two the a.b.m. the any ballistic missile treaty. the withdrawal from the i.m.f. is part of a larger problem sophie it's part of the unraveling of a stabilizing framework for arms control if this goe

this is an interesting race when it comes to donald trump, it was a very personal race for donald trump because it was john tester who went after ronny jackson, who was donald trump's v.a. secretary pick. remember he was the white house doctor, became the v.a. secretary pick and john tester released information that was very damaging to him. so when it comes to donald trump, he would have liked to see john tester lose. but as we move along, though, this was a very good night had it comes to republicans in general right here, if you go here, look at this, jake. this is just really an amazing bit of information here. you have claire mccaskill, she loses. specifically we're talking about a year of the woman right there. up in north dakota, heidi heitkamp loses as well and over in indiana where mike pence is from, joe donnelly loses. democrats thought he was going to pull this one out. democrats can also take a little solace in knowing they picked back up this seat in nevada. we've seen dean heller go down. the big problem, jake, as we talk about what's happening in florida, we have no reso

trump and members of the trump family on multiple occasions. president trump abruptly canceled the meeting with vladimir putin scheduled for tomorrow morning at the g20. he says he did it because of russia's aggression against ukraine. the kremlin claims he did it for "domestic reasons." jim acosta is traveling with the president as well as jeffrey toobin, dana bash, phil mudd. jim, start with you. tell us the significance. >> yeah. alisyn and john, this was a significant silence from the president when it comes to the russia investigation, comes to the bombshell revelation from michael cohen yesterday he pled guilty to lying to congress about the trump tower moscow project during the 2016 campaign. the president meeting here with enrique trudeau and pena nieto. and you saw during the event that wrapped up a few moments ago, the canadian prime minister challenged the president on the steel and aluminum seraphs imposed and canada but signed it anyway. also absent any mention how mexico would paper for the wall on the border with the u.s. and mex

donald trump can think whatever donald trump wants to think. but now he has to figure out how to merge that with what nancy pelosi thinks, what democrats in the house think, what democrats in still midwest states are thinking. and he has to look at kansas opinion he h. he has to look at a house race in oklahoma. and he can think what he wants to think. the reality actually is radically different. >> it is a very different reality. and i think that you can't really look at the people who vote and make judgments about a person who lies to them repeatedly and wonder what's wrong with them. he challenged the belief in the free press. he was completely unchecked every step of the way. nobody in his administration publicly staepd publicly stepped up to him. everybody was complicit on the republican side. that all stops now. >> but are we continually trying to make the mistake of trying to judge trump's achievements and failures? this is not a normal presidency. >> no, it is not. >> he did not wake up this morning think about the guy i stood up for in

now trump saying he wants to abolish the law guaranteeing u.s. citizenship to children born in the united states of foreign parents hundreds of thousands of children born to illegal immigrants are made automatic citizens of the united states every year because of this crazy lunatic policy that we can then nationalism and scare mongering once again trumps going for the doctor with his populist rhetoric about politics of fear. was the president's fear mongering on migration oh yes absolutely i mean it's kind of sad to see how these people that are on track to come to the united states they they kind of he instruments ally's them and it was just for him it was just such a lucky thing to happen just before the midterms i mean it's heartbreaking for these people but for him it was of course great because he could play his migration card he can i mean he said he want change the birthright citizenship thing i mean that is part of the amendment of the constitution he cannot just do that but of course he stands there and says i'm doing it anyways and i'll

of the 016 trump tower meeting. does that jibe with what you know? >> that's always been a huge question. we know his son was there. we know paul manafort was there. and we know that the russians advertised that we may have dirt on hillary clinton we want to talk to you about. who knew, how far up it went? whether donald trump knew at the time has been the big question. i want to step away from the legalities for a second. this is a truly astounding moment where we're talking about plea agreements, people dropping out of plea deals. these people were like a chairman of the presidential campaign that won. you know, people, conspiracy theorist, a joint defense agreement with the president's lawyers who believes 9/11 was an inside job. who, the u.s. government? i don't know. it's amazing. > that and the whole birtherism thing. a number of other things. matthew, "the wall street journal" is reporting manafort lied to mueller about his communications with konstantin kilimnik, a manafort business contact who prosecutors a

with this rare rebuke, do you think trump will respond? >> okay, from everything we know, brooke, about the president of the united states, it's hard to think that he won't respond in some way and what you're referring to on the affordable care act, none as obamacare, when job roberts cast the vet to uphold the affordable care act, donald trump was tweeting then complaining about john roberts and he's come plaund about that vote of his many times since. i don't know if donald trump would allow the chief justice to have the last word on this. do you? >> nope, i don't. joan, thank you very much. coming up next here, president trump sides with saudis over his own intelligence agencies giving saudi arabia a pass on murdering jamal khashoggi. lawmakers from trump's own party are now demanding answers and threatens action. moments ago, reaction from the former director of the cia, leon panetta. ♪ ♪ applebee's bigger bolder grill combos are back. now that's eatin good in the neighborhood. we've shown just how far love can go.e the love event,

trump said he would prefer to adopt a softer tone. >> president trump: i would be very good at a low tone. >> president trump said he's still considering an executive order to ban birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, to respond to the killing of the saudi journalist jamaal khashoggi. he made news saying he would be willing to raise rates on some people in order to get a deal with democrats. >> president trump: if the democrats come up with an idea for tax cuts, i'm a big believer in tax cuts, i would pursue something even if it means some adjustment. >> he said today losing control of the housemate were cut to being a good thing, he said it would force the democrats to come up with ideas, not just opposition and he and they would begin negotiations. >> bret: john roberts live on the north lawn. we will have more on those exchanges between the president and the press later in the program. from media analyst howard kurtz. first, a closer look at jeff sessions in the way forward for the administration when it comes to the attorney general, many insiders expecte
