trump and donald trump's children. and one of the great personal pains of barack obama's childhood and life is that his father did, indeed, go back to africa to kenya and luckily for us for the united states he left his son here. and that son of that temporary immigrant from a country that donald trump hates became president of the united states and that has always been the unique story of the united states. we never know where greatness is coming from. we never know which country greatness is coming from. the leak of the president's hateful comment today was credited to a democratic source and we know there was only one democratic senator in the room when he said that but senator durbin probably had at least one democratic staffer in the room with him and that does not mean that senator durbin or his staffer leaked it directly to the press. one of them could have said it to another senator in astonishment or to several other senators or several other staffers when they got back to the senate and then anyone could have

to donald trump. all of the evidence here, all of the indications indicate the answer is yes. because if you look at the timeline even after donald trump said he was going to release this information that following monday, a few days later, you see the information being released by gucifer 2.0. another week later more information and then a few days later more information by gucifer 2.0. then on july 22nd, the day before the democratic national convention, bang, wikileaks releases more of that information. and who is the person that's communicating with both gucifer 2.0 and wikileaks? roger stone, donald trump's main political operative. so to me if you look at the overall picture and the overall timeline, you clearly have a conspiracy to basically steal the e-mails from the democratic national committee in order to throw the election to donald trump. you've got lots of indications that somewhere in this process the trump campaign joined that conspiracy. >> right. >> they didn't have to agree with the

is donald trump the leading figure of this new shift to the right? donald trump: america first. what is theew, overlap between donald trump, trumpism, and far right populism in europe? matthew: the overlap is that many of the same forces that drove donald trump into office are also present in europe and has been for some time. this backlash against globalization for example, the worry about migration and the refugee crisis. i would be careful though in assuming that donald trump has had an effect on european politics directly. in the immediate aftermath of his election in fact, we had several elections in europe where the populace did not win or perform as well as feared. where marcon -- macron won. this is a phenomenon though in the western world, this populism and it will not end soon. at -- it isnce virulent at the moment. notough the populace did win many of these elections, they overall have done pretty well in europe in the last year. i think this is something that europeans are going to have to continue to deal with and the last word on this with germany with the alternat

i'm lynne and i am a donald trump voter. i think the rich will definitely get richer with trump in office. are you rich? no. i would love to be rich though. i would love to be rich. but no, i'm not anywhere near rich. what about the poor? i think the poor will get richer with trump in office for sure. yes. i think that is his strong point. that and keeping us safe. lynne, a former professional cheerleader, now runs a pr company in west palm beach. not farfrom donald trump's private club. i have met him a few times. i had a great rapport with him. iliked him. he remembered my name. friendly guy. she is a big fan of donald trump's tax reforms. the biggest tax cut, the biggest reform of all time. i like the new tax reforms bill. as a small business owner i think it will help me with tax cuts so, the companies that hire me have more money and my small business will grow and i can hire people. but some of donald trump's biggest promises haven't yet been fulfilled. we are going to build that wall, it's going to be a great wall and

whether donald trump likes it or not. this nation overwhelmingly believes the d.r.e.a.m.ers ought to have an opportunity to stay here and fighting him, fit means giving those d.r.e.a.m.ers an opportunity to stay here fairly and effectively, is one way to counter him. >> thank you for first of all for what you said about my own story. i really do appreciate that, senator. i want to go back to this question of this deal that democrats are trying to get. at this point, does it make sense to have donald trump in the room? or is this a situation where it's time for democrats to bypass the president of the united states and his aides like steven miller? >> the next step really is for us to reach out to our republican colleagues and to ask them, in all good faith, because donald trump doesn't speak for me when he uses that kind of language. and he doesn't speak for them. he doesn't speak for america. that's not america. and i think we can come together with a sensible compromise that enables the d.r.e.a.m.ers to stay here and gi

"fox and friends" first continues right now. >> i never heard this song. i can't wait to see this. you are watching "fox and friends" first on thursday. >> thank you for starting the day with us. straight to our top stories, deal or no deal? the government shutdown just one day away, lawmakers under mounting pressure to deliver a deal. jillian: the last-ditch efforts, good morning. >> that deadline is tomorrow, the other is daca which congress hasn't so much 50 find a solution for. leading democrats won't support any spending bill to give the government open if it doesn't address the dreamers and at this point the white house believes it is likely lawmakers will reach a deal before the deadline meaning republicans will be on their own to avoid a government shutdown and that is why the gop is accusing democrats of playing politics over keeping our military funding. >> real deadline this friday and the real deadlines this friday are men and women in uniform and children's health insuran

>> no, the biggest leaker was donald trump. i mean, many of the leaks that he would come out and rail against started because he gets on the phone at night, with his codery of friends and billionaires, and motor mouths. i mean, is donald trump aware of what he's saying? i would suspect not all of it. and it just goes. and then -- and then they call other people to say, oh, my god, this is what he said. and then those people call other people and suddenly you have leaked -- you know, you have the fact that reince priebus is going to be fired tomorrow, steve bannon is going to be fired tomorrow, everybody is going to be fired tomorrow, this is all donald trump. >> you talk a lot about his mental stability, his fitness for office, his preparation for office, his willingness to learn, you describe a lot of the character of the man, and you kind of paint him as cruel, as undercutting his staff, mocking his staff. he's throwing people under the bus, he doesn't bloov anybody's doing a good job. there's an excerpt, one of those after d

roger stone was the donald trump of politics before donald trump entered politics. roger stone thinks like donald trump. roger stone has always told lies with ease and confidence. so he is rarely worth listening to. but tonight "the washington post" has decided to give roger stone the last word in its breaking news report that special prosecutor robert mueller is, quote, seeking to question president trump in the coming weeks about his decisions to oust national security adviser michael flynn and fbi director james b. comey, according to two people familiar with his plans. the post goes on the report that the trump legal team is negotiating the terms for the president's interview with the special prosecutor's team. roger stone thinks that is sheer madness. "the washington post" ends its report tonight with this. roger stone, a long-time informal adviser to president trump said he should try to avoid an interview at all costs, saying agreeing to such a session would be a suicide mission. i find it to be a death wish. why would you walk into a perjury trap, stone said

contrast that with donald trump jr. who saw the russians want to interfere with the selection and said, i love it. jared kushner, who got an e-mail saying the same thing, and went to a meeting. contrast that with lindsey graham and chuck grassley, who see christopher steele tried to blow the whistle, and refer him for criminal charges, try to have him prosecuted and sent to jail. it really is i would say a shameful moment for those two members of the 93. >> well said. matt miller, frank piglusi, thank you both. >>> for more on russian efforts to block the dossier testimony from being released, msnbc contributor jennifer rubin, conservative columnist for "the washington post." and evan mcmullin, independent presidential candidate in 2016, who also happens to be a former cia officer. i'm going to start with you, evan. what do you make of this? you just heard lindsey graham again demonizing christopher steele, who made it his business, he's not even an american citizen, to try to inform the fbi that he thought there could

the trump ocacy is the system of donald trump's power. the second idea i want people to take away, donald trump is not aheaa hea heart attack to american democracy. it's not like he's going to overthrow the system in one night. this is slow decay. it's gum disease. it is a festering rot that will have its effect over months and years. >> you write in the book about donald trump ran on this idea also on the democratic side as well that the whole thing is rigged, everything is a scam, the system is rigged against us, whoever us is. you write that in the united states as in other countries, the great threat to congressional democracy has not been the demands by many but the fears of the few, the reduction of voting rights after restriction was intended to thwart local majorities voting themselves such benefits. is that he's running to tell the common man that meez fhe's fixi system for the man. >> part of the trump idea is you don't have to -- the way to control democracy in the modern world and we're seeing this globally, you don't overthro

donald trump! >> donald trump taking down vince mcmahon! the hostile takeover! >> he was seen for quite a long time as a punchline to jokes about the excesses and the failures of the 1980s, and he'd become, you know, a human shingle and a punchline. the apprentiturned all of that on its head. >> new york-- my city, where the wheels of the global economy never stop turning. >> ♪ money, money, money, money... ♪ >> he became seen as a credible businessperson with a real track record, even though that was at odds with reality. and the guy who became a reality tv star vthe apprentice learned that he could become a reality political star. >> who will succeed and who will fail? and who will be the apprentice? >> narrator: for 14 seasons, millions of americans watched a carefully crafted donald trump. >> he's perfectly made up. he's perfectly coiffed. he's perfectly lit. he's in the high-back chair making tough decisions. what does he look like? he looks like a president. >> donald connected with the american public because they wanted to be like him. they aspired t

shame on donald trump. this is a racist remark and we need to call it for what it was. >> well said, congressman luis gutierrez, thank you very much. thank you for being here. joining me, msnbc political analyst jason johnson "the root," former senator barbara boxer, democrat of california. jason, a couple more responses from members of congress to what donald trump said. ileana russ lateen, she said the president calling haiti an s-hole country ignores the contributions thousands of haitians have made to this country. cbc chairman cedric rich man of louisiana, whose population largely was drawn from haiti over overthrowing the napoleonic government, president trump's comments are another indication of his racially ignorant views. it reinforces concerns we hear every day that "make america great again" is code for "make america white again." >> we've been saying this a long time. the president is a white supremacist. we heard in charlottesville. our president is a terrorist sympathizer. our president is a c

he is viewed as sort of an ideological spirit guide for donald trump. he embraced the conservative populism that donald trump campaigned on from the beginning. since he left the white house and was eventually forced out, he has been a bit of a wild card. he supported insurgent campaigns challenging republican incumbents, he says he will do that because he views the conservative populism that he embraces as bigger than just the trumpet presidency. he feels he needs to help overcome the republican establishment to get these turns into policy. to see a break in donald trump's base is a fairly remarkable development. donald trump, when his son was criticised, i suppose it is not surprising to hear him fireback so vociferously. the suggestion that this meeting at trump tower, that involved donald junior and the president's son—in—law, jared kushner, and somebody from russia, clearly this suggestion is that steve bannon had no idea this was taking place, and if he did, he would have gone to the fbi or would have said it is a ridiculous thing to do? right,

new year, same old donald trump. not a day goes by without any new media storm over a presidential comment, tweet or announcement that had democrats decrying him at an fit for office and republican, well... what? what do they feel and do about their de fa cto do they feel and do about their de facto party leader? my guest is michael steele, a former chairman of the republican national committee should the party stand with or dump trump? michael steele, welcome to hardtalk. it is great to have you here. i want to ta ke it is great to have you here. i want to take you back to that date in november 2016 when it became clear donald trump was going to be the next president of the united states. for you as a long and loyal republican, how did you feel? i guess the emotion would be, here we go. let's strap in and get ready. i had worked with donald trump in the past, i know what kind of campaign he had run over the past 1.5 years. i had predict the his eventual win early on. but not in neutral fashion. early on. but not in

fury of the white house donald trump. just saying that steve has lost his mind the u.s. president was reacting to reports that mr described as treasonous meeting between donald trump jr and a russian lawyer joining the presidential election campaign we'll take you live to washington also on the program tens of thousands take to iran's streets in a show of force for the government at the same time the general in charge of the revolutionary guard has declared that's almost a week of protests over. famous film schools will take a movie about movie music that he's opening this week. i'm filled to the program u.s. president donald trump past launched a scathing attack on his former chief strategist steve allen ahead of the release of a new less than flattering book in a statement mr trump said steve allen has nothing to do with me all my presidency when he was fired here not a. he lost his job he lost his mind mr bannon is quoted in the forthcoming book saying that donald trump jr's twenty sixteen meeting with a group of russians was treasonous the president's statement to bl

donald trump jr. is quoted in the book as saying that when his father had realized he'd won the electoral college he looked as if he had seen a ghost. this book is the story of incompetence running an incompetent presidential campaign for an incompetent candidate who's a dangerous and incompetent president and quotes steve bannon as calling the meeting that donald trump jr. arranged during the campaign in trump tower a group of russians attended by jared kushner and paul manafort as treasonist. bannon says they're going to crack don junior like an egg on national tv. one of the sources for the book is katie walsh who served as the white house deputy chief of staff in the first couple of months of the trump white house. here's how michael wol off delivers her view of the commander in chief. he didn't process information in any conventional sense. he didn't read. he didn't really even skim. some believed that for all practical purposes he was no more than semiliterate. he trusted his own expertise no ma

it was time to change donald trump's story. and enlist whatever help they could from other republicans. and now donald trump is saying that dick durbin misrepresented what he said in the oval office and two republican senators who were in the room have decided to change their stories dramatically, republican senators tom cotton and david perdue on friday released an unusual joint statement about that meeting, very unusual for two senators to release a joint statement together. it said, we do not recall the president saying these comments specifically. do not recall. on the biggest thing that the president has ever said in their presence, according to the way the news media was reacting to it and they do not recall. they very specifically did not then deny that the president said that. they simply claimed to not recall. now i have been in work sessions like that in the oval office when i was working in the senate during the clinton administration. let me tell you, you come out of that room remembering every word the president sa

but destain for donald trump. page 197 of the book, in the past month, rogerailes, a frequent trump caller all but stopped talking to the president that trump was bad mouthing him. this was ails who had before the elections only ever ridiculed trump. before the election, murdoch had nothing but destain for donald trump. >> clearly, rupert murdoch is a main stream republican. he was champing the 2013. he only came around to trump after it was clear he would win the gop nomination and made a business decision that's it's better to be on the right side of the guy than wrong side. >> and he was in an interesting mood on earlier and one of the things he said is that there was a split, that there was a bannon ails sort of partnership and a kushner murdoch relationship and that's part of how wolf got the access, he went through the bannon ails kind of side. does that ring true to you? >> yeah. jared has an open line to murdoch and expands to matt drudge. the report is very anti bannon and kushner murdoch drudge access is

donald trump speaking. ijoined around the globe. donald trump speaking. i joined by around the globe. donald trump speaking. ijoined by the editor in chief of the economist magazine. speaking. ijoined by the editor in chief of the economist magazinem was pretty extraordinary. i was there before he spoke, and i went into lesson in the room, because i wanted to gauge the reaction nlm. they had mixed frankly the most obsequious introduction, and donald trump start speaking and he is clearly an italo proctor, —— on the teleprompter on his best behaviour. it is almost a year to the date when he gave that speech about american carnage. this is the same country he described as carnage a year ago, now comic he took credit for the stock market, the seller can —— the strong economy. but it was more interesting when he got off the teleprompter. that is the champ you like. that was donald trump on vintage form. and it is king of engaging. that is when eve ryo ne is king of engaging. that is when everyone pays attention. i have a lwa ys everyone pays attention

trump and the family and others in the white house, testified that donald trump is a candidate, donald trump ordered him to make contact with the russians. >> that turned out not to be true. brian ross did apologize for that mistake. time magazine, the president has a love-hate relationship with time magazine, they received an award after a reporter said the president removed the bust of martin luther king jr. from the oval office, sarah huckabee sanders tweeted a picture of the best proving it is still there. the president also didn't forget a time washington post reporter said that no one showed up to a rally the president was holding in florida but that picture was taken before anybody entered the arena. last but not least the russia collusion story, there is no collusion. what was the reaction to these fake news awards? it does depend how you feel about the president's tweeting and the president calling out members of the media but a lot of people thought it was great, funny including cj who said fake news awards attract so much attention the site crashed in minutes, this man is th

he makes the point that it is to think of donald trump as being what we wa nt think of donald trump as being what we want to oppose but we need to be careful not to oppose the oval office overall. the relationship between the us and the uk is so crucial in terms of security and history in terms of trade in the future. yes, because once brexit happens we will need all the trade we can get. what boris is trying to do is pave the way for negotiating a free—trade agreement with the us because that will be the republican held congress that make that happen. 0r held congress that make that happen. oras held congress that make that happen. or as johnson held congress that make that happen. 0r asjohnson was once held congress that make that happen. or as johnson was once a held congress that make that happen. 0r asjohnson was once a big critic of donald trump chip —— doris johnson was once they'd need critic of donald trump. he once said he would never go to new york in case he bumped into donald trump. now he is our best and greatest ally... in geopolitics it is very much thinking about

because he is donald trump. he gets up and got up and gave all those speeches at all those rallies off the top of his head. he thinks he can charm people and convince people of whatever. that's what his lawyers would be worried about. i don't think any competent attorney would allow donald trump to put himself in that or be put in that sort of situation unless there was no choice. i think it might come down to a subpoena from a grand jury. it may come down to a direct clash because, look, if i were his lawyer, i would throw myself bodily between donald trump and that interview because everything can go wrong and very little can go right. >> and this real turn took place, jen, between the inquiry into collusion and questions the that have started to come out really with much greater frequency about obstruction of justice. and the people around donald trump, the people who try to paint a picture and put as positive of a spin on it as they can while maintaining their credibility. they are few and far between. i'm c

he thought donald trump was a joke. he thought donald trump had no business running for office. he was horrified by him. and then when he won, he started to kind of move back towards him. then beginning of the administration, when donald trump was saying outrageous things. not saying anything as a change. lindsey graham was often to reporters on-camera not in agreement. lately, much more conciliatory and explaining the president away. >> he sees a lot of power being one of the president's favorite senators. they've gone golfing, have a lot of phone calls together. a lot of small group meetings at the white house together and i think graham feels like he can advance some of the conservative republican policy agenda with the president by being close to him, but it's moments like this graham has to decide. will he stand up for his own values, moral beliefs and his own compass or defend the president? lindsay graham was a republican saying the gop needs to expand the tent. need to change the way they talk about immigration, the way they talk about hispanics and latinos and people of

i imagine if donald trump were the donald trump of ten years ago you would see the donald trump sitting down across from robert mueller maybe not an equal but someone who understands he's in a different setting. is aware that perjury is a potential problem. that just leads you to the question of is donald trump still the donald trump who sat in all those depositions five years ago, ten years ago, 20 years ago, or has he actually deteriorated mentally to point where, again this is the assertion of the wolff book and the things we've been debate, is he less of a mind, less stamina? will he go in and clearly be outmatched by mueller? because if there was ever an even fight it was a long time ago. and it could very well be if the picture is correct in this book, that mueller who would probably have the advantage anyway because he is just smarter and knows more, has better command of the facts, has been subpoenaing witnesses, trump probably does not know as much about his campaign as mueller does. mueller would have the advantage in any case. but if trump deteriorated mueller would have a hu

trump or to donald trump fans. so they're programming for an audience of one. >> and to that very point, on page 223 of this book, sean hannity on his way to roger ales' funeral wh. ruminating out loud, hannity said he would leave the network and work full time than trump. nothing was more important that trump succeed, in spite of himself, hannity add, laughing. is that driven by, you know, what they think their viewers want or something else? >> it's clearly a ratings' decision. we rewind to the 2016 campaign when megyn kelly was a loan -- lone voice critical at fox news. producers saw the ratings go down. any time you put anything on the air that didn't help or praise donald trump, the viewers react by changing the channel. this is in many ways a business decision. sean hannity is one of the most influential media figures in america because he's hitched himself to donald trump. >> there is the other side of it, which is rupert murdoch, the head of the company has nothing but disdain for donald trump despite how d

donald trump is the worst of america. this kind of lying, this kind of racism, this kind of corruption is as bad as it gets but it also weakens america. china is the leading investor in africa. china is the leading trading partner in africa. how do you think it plays when an african leader turns on the television and sees the leader of the united states calling his country a shithole. >> is this a time for them to resign? >> i think it is. there have been arguments made by people the that senior officials ought to stay in place. they can keep trump in check. sometimes leaving sends a message. you can't go here. and whether charlottesville or whether it is here, i think it is time for somebody to put a flag in the ground and say, we will go no further. this ambassador who resigned in panama is the first step. what about rex tillerson? h.r. mcmaster? what about james mattis? what about the people close to the president who were once thought to be the axis of adults. they are becoming the axis of immorality. they are enablin

donald trump jr. said in 2008 a disproportionate amount of our assets are coming from russia. that's never been explained. but the fact that steve bannon is saying it, one of the closest people to the trump world-s remarkable. and i think if you're robert mueller and his team you're wanting to talk to steve bannon today about why he believes that and what does he know in particular about money laundering. >> one little other thing about this don junior meeting and where the present feident fell donald trump did say in july in paris, donald trump the president, not donald trump jr., "most people would have taken that meeting." also describing his son as a wonderful young man. again, the president of the united states saying most people would have taken that meeting. that meeting that his own chief strategist called treasonous. a big question is why did steve bannon stay in the white house after that? we're going to get into that. ken dilanian, hallie jackson, and phil rucker. guys, thanks so much. and
