craig: yeah. frank: it is not totally ex-temp, because he had been working on an article that was going to say this same thing. he kind of talked about 50 years from now. the theme of the speech was, 50 years from now, they will know if we met the challenge here tonight because they will know if america was still free or not. craig: he talked about a letter in a time capsule. frank: you will still see that. typically, so beautifully delivered. reagan never raised his voice. he is one of the great orators of our time who never had to pound the table or shout. there was a little humor in it. it was just perfect. unfortunately, the convention erupted. craig: which was embarrassing to ford. frank: in fairness, ford gave a good speech. it was one of the best speeches he ever made. it was a good speech. maybe reagan challenged him and said, i have to step up here. anyway, that kind of electrified everyone. you are saying, if ford doesn't make it, or if he does, what about reagan in four years? i can tel

her boyfriend was craig's old buddy, pj. >> he goes from being craig's best friend to now being craig's estranged wife's boyfriend. >> yes. >> so that doesn't always work out so well for relationships. >> certainly not between the two of them. >> all of the kids really grew up together. they would go out together. they had parties together. >> but around the same time that laura and craig's marriage was falling apart, pj's wife died from liver disease. pj says he leaned on laura for support and laura began confiding in pj. in a romantic relationship now? >> at first craig didn't want to believe there was a romantic relationship going on between them. and i think over time it became painfully obvious that there was. >> i didn't know i was going to fall in love with laura. but that happened over time. >> does craig know about this. >> yeah, craig sent me an e-mail. >> what did it say in. >> it said -- he says i don't know if you found yourself in a damsel in distress stwagz or just helping, either way i'm happy. >> that's big of him. >> i thought it was an interesting thing. i don't know

craig: michael? michael: all i was going to say was, i was fascinated by your comment about a mother-in-law. i was vice chair for joe lieberman's presidential campaign and his favorite comment was that behind every successful man is a stunned mother-in-law. [laughter] craig: any more questions? go ahead. >> do you see a difference between the way reagan spoke about being on the right side of history as compared to the way people see it today? frank: maybe to this extent. so one view of history says that there are impersonal forces at work and we might be able to hold back but we can't change. that is marxism, that is what marxism says. then there is the american view of history which says, great men and great women turn history. if you have clear goals and you stick to your guns and you talk to the people, do all the things we talked about, great men and women can change history. when reagan says being on the right side of history, he meant it is up to us to make, to force history. what some people s

craig mel bin msnbc headquarters in new york city. bracing for more, after the historic day on capitol hill, democrats and republicans are taking a break today before diving back into the public phase of the impeachment inquiry, as hallie just mentioned there. that will resume tomorrow. we're going to break down all the key developments from day one. we'll also look at what we can expect from both sides tomorrow. also ahead, a member of the community conducting these hearings, congressman eric swalwell will join me with reaction to everything that we heard and the strategy for tomorrow. you are looking live inside the new hampshire statehouse where any moment now former massachusetts governor deval patrick plans to make it official. he will be adding his name to that already crowded field of democratic contenders. what he's saying about his decision and the new questions that his candidacy is raising about the entire field. we'll get to that in a moment. there's a lot happening on this thursday morning. joining me from capitol hill ja

thanks for your time. >> thank you, craig. thanks for having me. >> when you first endorsed the former mayor, you talk about him having the resources to go the distance. you used the word "resources" twice in the span of three sentences during that initial conversation about mike bloomberg. how much of this is just about mike bloomberg's deep pockets? >> well, it's not just resources, it's also record. you're talking about, we've had great businessmen who have run for president before. obviously, self-made, started his own business in a one-room office has built it into a global brand. we've had accomplished officials taking over new york city post-fledge, and really rebuilding the city, $100 billion budget at the center of a $2 trillion gdp. larger than that, i might mention of the country of russia. then you've had great philanthropists run. $8 million in charity. in colleges all across this country and across the world. it's rare that you have someone who has done all three of those things offer himself up. so it's not just

>> reporter: good to see you, craig. house democrats haven't said when to expect the release of these next transcripts. if today is anything like yesterday, i could be talking to you again at the end of this hour if democrats choose to release them around that time. what to watch for, remember, volker and sondland were referred do in other witness testimony as being two of the three amigos, the two of them plus energy secretary rick perry were deputized to be responsible for the shadow foreign policy that was being run in ukraine. we have really reported on the broad outlines of most men's testimony. the transcripts will fill in a lot of important details. sondland is an interesting character because we knew at the time that his testimony was self-absolving. in his testimony he was pointing the finger at a lot of other people for being responsible for this ukraine correspondent very see. we've learned that since he testified, from other witnesses, part of what he said doesn't necessarily add up. for instance, he describe

so, craig, there is a lot of news here. also i did talk to jim jordan, i asked him who republicans are going to call to testify publicly, they do have that right, they said they don't even know yet. they have until saturday to decide. that is come on the news that we are going to have public hearings starting next week, the first one with ambassador bill taylor, and we'll get his transcripts actually any minute. >> any idea, leigh ann, we just heard congressman meadows talk about this as part of a broader analysis in regards to foreign aid being held up and there were other instances, it would seem to be, according to the congressman. any idea what he was talking about? >> reporter: no, not completely. i mean, they're still saying there's no quid pro quo, and they're resting it on volker and on what the president has said and they're coming back to the transcript of the phone call and saying that the president did nothing wrong. >> leigh ann caldwell on the hill, thank you. cynthia alksne, a big thanks to you. jonathan alle

craig melvin here at msnbc headquarters in new york. moments ago, as you just saw and heard, president trump speaking to reporters at the white house defending himself once again against the impeachment inquiry. also, he spoke against the second phone call with the president of ukraine, saying he's open to releasing more details about that call. he talked about a forthcoming report on vaping, raised the idea once again of perhaps requiring those who are at least 21 to be able to vape. he took a shot at a potential newcomer to the 2020 democratic primary field as well. and that is where we are going to start on this friday, that potential seismic shock to the 2020 democratic race. billionaire and former three-term new york city mayor michael bloomberg positioning himself perhaps to jump into this primary race. he said back in march, as you likely remember, he'd be sitting this one out. according to a spokesman now, he has some concerns with the current crop of candidates. a number of those 2020 democrats have their own take on a possible

craig is joining us. hey, craig, good morning. >> good to see you by the way, you still have that engagement glow about you. >> thank you there was a lot of talking and partying last night, but thank you. >> there should have been. >> let us get right to our top story on tuesday morning there are a record number of holiday travelers expected to be on the move this holiday week while a triple threat of storms could be brewing up trouble on the ground and in the air bringing snow, rain, dangerous conditions to much of this country in the next few days. >>> we're going to get to al in a minute, let's start with nbc's gabe gutierrez, he's at laguardia airport where strong winds and heavy rain could impact holiday travel. hey, gabe, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, there's major construction at laguardia, it can be a mess on a good day but thankfully the tsa line is moving smoothly. we look at the departure board, we can see that virtually all the flights are on time but the series of winter storms are

>> yeah, craig and let me explain this. this development is as confusing as it is curious, right, so this speaks to the case that garrett just mentioned. you have charles coverman, a long time associate, and friend, really, of john bolton. they both -- both men share the same lawyer, right. a couple weeks ago coverman made the argument that, hey, look, as a lowly public servant, as a white house official i should not be the arbiter of this constitutional question. on one hand you have the house trying to enforce the subpoena, the house of representatives forcing me to testify. on the other hand you have the executive branch, you have the white house saying you cannot testify as a former white house official. coverman's point was i'm not the one to decide this, a federal judge should decide it. the judge in that case has set oral arguments for december 10th. you have democrats making the point that there's no time to wait. these public impeachment hearings could be well done by december 10th. and so even as mick mulvaney is

>> not really, craig. when i get out on the campaign trail, most of the time folks are talking about the issues that they're dealing with. we've got farmers right now that are suffering under these tariffs here in south carolina, particularly the soy bean farmers. there's a company in allendale county where tariffs have increased from $200,000 a month to $1 million a month. it's issues like that, issues like the quality of water, lack of infrastructure, those are the things that people are really focused on. it seems like our senator wants to spend more of his time on fox news or on television just talking about impeachment. we really want him to address the issues here in south carolina. >> in your opinion, should the president be impeached and removed from office? >> craig, i think the process needs to take its toll. let the house of representatives make its case, because that's what the constitution lays out. if they have some things that they believe rise to the level of impeachment, they should go thr

craig moffett of moffitt nathanson joins us over the phone. craig, i love your 42 page report. i admit i'd read it cover to cover. what struck me is turner media is about 20% of revenue, and that does include that hbo service. where does hbo fit in for you in the middle of the streaming wars? craig: hi, taylor. well, hbo, look, it looks like a really good product if you are a consumer. that is not the issue. and i give them some credit, they have done a very nice job making it a compelling offering. the problem for at&t is you are taking three businesses within warner media, that is, you are taking the turner networks, you are taking hbo, and you are taking the warner bros. studio, and you are collapsing them into one business, hbo max. that is a bit of an overstatement, but they are working in that direction. and so, there is a very real risk here that one plus one plus one is going to equal one. and you will have a good hbo business but you will have burned down turner and the tv studio in the process. taylor: an analyst at keybank security says he has been analyzing some of

craig: it is awfully hard to see. it would be nice if you just said they are just not managing it very well, and therefore they could manage it better. but this is not issue of the assets not being managed well. this is an issue of it is not a good asset. for paid $67 million directv just 5.5 years ago now. is now seeingess subscribers falling, at least notionally year-over-year, by about 13%. but in fact, the decline rate in the most recent quarter annualized is to a decline rate of more than 20% a year of the subscriber base. revenues obviously fall with subscribers. margins fall with revenues. so, that is a business that, in addition to having lost something like 20% to 25% of the people. since they bought it, would probably command a multiple less than half of what it was when they bought it. taylor: we will have to leave it there. beijing, thefrom tension between the u.s. and china. this is bloomberg. ♪ . this is bloomberg. ♪ taylor: this is "bloomberg technology." i'm taylor riggs in san francisco. tech pion

craig: it's totally unprecedented. for the billions of dollars automaker spend on marketing and you look at third-party the track how much companies spend on advertising, automotive is a serious spender on marketing dollars, there is a sort of rule of thumb that nothing beats your neighbor talking up his mustang or his corvette. with tesla, they have gone all in on that strategy of if we can get these cars out there, if we can leverage the star power of our ceo, we can save a serious amount of spending that these companies shall out to promote themselves and thus far it's worked. from still a long ways tesla making a serious dent in the u.s. market but they are well on their way and doing it by taking this interesting approach. taylor: thank you for joining us. of europe's is one technology start ups helping europe -- businesses and people move money. now they are stepping into the u.s. and asian markets. there ceo discussed the company's growth strategy with 's thirdg at singapore annual syntax festival. take a listen

good guy yes she's basically your good question basically the the the watson to the homes of daniel craig. and she's incredible for the. character in this film because she's the only sort of warm heart in the center of the film amongst all these sort of white privilege and quite horrible rich characters and we're going to be seeing a lot more of her she's going to be in the new james bond film alongside daniel craig how exciting so i'm thinking very quickly that this gets a thumbs up where we can go yeah if you if you're a fan of murder mysteries definitely but even if you just want an hour and a half with your family and not fighting for an hour and a half on thanksgiving this is the perfect film for that ok well we definitely look forward to catching that one it's going to be one on my ever lengthening list and thanks for bringing us the extra dope on that one scott roxboro. well she is only 32 years old but luisa clément is making her mark as a digital artist as a longtime student of world famous photographer and i asked her focuses on the body and how it is ultimately made anonymous

boswell joins us now with the latest from d.c good morning, craig. >> reporter: frances, good morning. good morning, everyone yeah, today transcripts of closed door depositions from ambassador to the european union gordon sondland and the u.s. envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, become public. it's part of the public phase of the impeachment inquiry of president trump. it adds to monday's release by house investigators of a pair of transcripts. one from former u.s. ag lawmake the subject of a smear campaign. yovanovitch was pulled in her post in may. she testified last month president trump pushed for her early removal and said the president's allies were looking to hur threatened, she said yes take a listen to president trump. >> was marie yovanovitch the target of a smear campaign by your allies? she testified she was. >> if you look at the transcripts, the president of ukraine was not a fan of hers either i mean, he did not exactly say glowing things i'm sure she's a very fine woman. i just don't know much about her. >> reporter: now, all of the transcripts that have been taken so far a

. >>> craig is joining the table with a book getting lots of buzz. >> savannah as you mentioned, this morning we are getting our first look at the excerpts of this explosive new book called "a warning," written by the same anonymous person who wrote "the new york times" op-ed last year, claiming to be part of a resistance inside the trump administration nbc news white house correspondent kristen welker has more on this good morning to you. >> hi, craig, good morning to you. excerpts of a warning paint a chilling picture of president trump as an erratic leader who poses a danger to the country. this morning, the white house is fighting back forcefully at warning, the anonymous paints a picture of a president who is unstable and inept according to excerpts obtained by nbc the writer describing daily 5 alarm fire drills where senior officials cancel plans and break to the white house to prevent the president from enacting his latest wacky or destructive idea in a separate post not verified by nbc, the author claims he considered re-signing in a midnight self-massacre to raise alarm bells

craig, take a nap over there >> your eating? >> it's when you eat, and i'm back here next week talking about intermittent fasting >> we're trying to do that. >> we're on an 8 and 16 right now. >> do that tomorrow, and the whole country should because the second part of our plan which is all over social media, and we'll put it on our site, do what al is doing, eat early, finish dinner before sundown, and don't eat until the next morning, take 16 hours off because you don't just mess up your mind when you have a jet lag problem like we're going to tomorrow, you mess with your intestines. you don't want to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom >> after sundown what are you going to eat in bed. >> the second big problem, al is a flight risk. the second big problem we have is that people's mood changes this time of year. the sunlight is gone in the afternoon, and there's a significant increase in symptoms of depression. people can't deal with the fact they don't have light. you need to have something like the light

boswell in d.c craig, all eyes on ambassador sondland this morning. >> they certainly are. and good morning, everyone it is a critical day in the impeachment inquiry. ambassador gordon sondland is the most pivotal witness so far. he's also the first witness we're going to hear from that speaks directly to president trump about ukraine and according to witness testimony about withholding military aid until ukraine carries out investigations of president trump's political rivals one of the witnesses testifying tomorrow says he overheard sondland speaking with president trump on a cell phone ine invess sondland's also under pressure because he has changed his closed-door testimony saying he recalled military aid was being held up, now saying he recalls that military aid was being held up in exchange for investigationst of a september conversation that came up in monday's hearing so take a listen to this >> what did ambassador sondland tell you that he told mr. yermak >> that the ukrainians would have to have the prosecutor general make a statement with respect to the investiga

craig: the immediate nexus is two-part. one is that bad guys, foreign adversaries and their domestic allies, have figured out how to game the rest. they have figured out how to introduce this information and generally phony news, such that american citizens don't get the information they need to make smart decisions. meanwhile, they are also using cybersecurity techniques to attack our voting systems, possibly in subtle ways. for example, they are working with their domestic allies to purge voters who should not be purged. what's worse is we fear that they might do things like tinkering with a legitimate election registration record, such that when a person goes to vote, they have to file a provisional ballot. if a bunch of people do that, that slows down the line a lot. we know that's a thing, and that's a thing that can be prevented. people like me work with the people who do the actual operations. my contributions are small. i get people to talk to each other and help out. that's not a big thing in itself, but a nerd has

i'm craig melvin. after being unlucky in love, deborah thought she finally found the one when she met a handsome and seemingly successful doctor. but deborah's doctor suspected behind john's rugged good looks were something sinister. so the sisters dug into his past. what they found threatened to tear the family apart and put their lives in danger. here's keith morrison. >> in the beginning was desire. natural human desire for connection, for love. so she aimed her arrow at that online ocean of intimate strangers and found him. late afternoon a sun beating down on an apartment complex. >> this woman is just screaming. >> the whole complex must have heard it. terrifying howling, desperate. >> there was a man down there. they could see him. he had a knife. he was stabbing the screaming woman and nobody was helping her. >> it's really bad. >> i understand. we have officers on the way. >> too late. too late. >> the bloody ending, but the story, the whole terrible tale is much deeper than that one thing, dr

>> reporter: craig, it's going to look a lot different than what we saw in the intelligence committee. the witnesses coming before the judiciary committee are not going to be fact witnesses, they're not going to have evidence against the president's alleged wrongdoing. instead it's going to be constitutional scholars or experts who are going to explain what this all means in context of the constitution. in context the separation of power and checks and balances between the legislative branch and the executive branch. so think of it as the first phase, the intelligence committee phase as the nutrition label on the cookie box, and think of the second phase as the nutritionist coming in to explain what that nutrition label means and why it matters. >> oh, my goodness, that was a very effective analogy leigh ann. >>> we also have new details from the fact-finding phase. what can you tell us about this new witness statement? >> we thought most of the new facts had already come out in those dozens of hours of testimony we had all seen and read.
