not donald trump. donald trump seems to have learned his ethics from his father, who was arrested at a ku klux klan rally and later charged by the federal government with civil rights violations in his real estate business and donald trump apparently is a believer in the morality of the mafia. >> yes, always, godfather. >> that is the scene james comey describes in the white house when the president sat him down alone and asked for his loyalty and when donald trump didn't get james comey's loyalty, he killed james comey's career at the fbi. if you are a very old man from utah, say, somewhere like that and everything you know about new york city comes from gangster movies, you might think every guy in new york is like the godfather. orrin hatch is 84 years old. he has spent the last 42 of his life representing utah in the united states senate. and so he has led a very shelters life as a mormon bishop and as a united states senator. he seems to know as much about new york city as he knows about mars. thi

trump's, he says in many ways, roger stone created donald trump isa ways, roger stone created donald trump is a politicalfigure, the donald trump candidacy was a roger stone production. i am flattered, but i cannot take credit. it is true that i first thought of the idea of donald trump as a candidate for presidency back in 1988. i was drawn to him as a potential candidate because of his independence created by his wealth, independence in the sense he was not deeply committed or responsible for the policies of the past, he had no investment in m ista kes past, he had no investment in mistakes already made. and what i saw was a growing to duopoly in which the two parties working together had started an endless war without national inherent interest in clear, national debt, spending and borrowing with no end in sight cheating people going through the system and brought in people practical —— rorting people, trade policies which sucked jobs out of america. and a stagnant economy of those who did not know how to run a business. i thought a person with enormous courage to change thing

and so vladimir putin is getting very clear communication from donald trump that donald trump wants to be in business with vladimir putin while vladimir putin is waging this war on the american electoral process. >> i think, you know, you've hit on a very central issue here which is the crinology on all of this. trump previously has said they stopped negotiating to deal with this in 2016. michael cohen as said it continued into june of 2016. that infamous trump tower meeting where don junior met with russians that had compromising information on hillary clinton took place on june 9, 2016. this deal trump tower moskow fell apart on or around june 14th. so within days the russians have sent envoys into trump tower to try to give the trump camp information they can use to undermine hillary clinton's candidacy. and they decide then to stop pursuing this deal. why is that? i think it suggests that they decided to tradeoff the idea of doing business with president trump or at that time candidate trump in order to do politics with him. and trump today tried to say that michael cohen is a liar

and donald trump will know. are the democrats going to be in control of the impeachment process if robert mueller's delivers a report to congress showing that president trump has committed impeachable crimes? we will know the answer to that at this time next week. if the democrats win the house of representatives next tuesday night donald trump is going to be more terrified than he has ever been in his life. and robert mueller is going to be instantly more empowered knowing that a democratic house of representatives will not ignore his report the way a republican house of representatives would try to and probably succeed in ignoring it. and today we learned more about the road map of robert mueller's investigation that we will discuss later in this hour, including the possibility that the president of the united states is already under subpoena by the special prosecutor and is secretly fighting that subpoena in court. we will get to that later. there is something else at stake in next week's election for donald

donald trump jr. michael cohen says that he and all the other people there then heard donald trump sr. assent to the meeting and say it should go forward. he approved it happening. if that's the case, this is -- this is very serious, not just in terms of what this means about michael cohen's case and who is leaking what. this could be a very serious criminal matter for the president. >> and immediate perjury case for the likes of congress for donald trump jr. because he told one of the congressional committees that he absolutely never ever told his father about this meeting. >> right. and, so, perjury claims, the question of who spoken to the special counsel, who has been interviewed. that will all become important here, as will the specific nature of what the then candidate now president was advised as to what those russians were bringing. if he was advised, they got her e-mails, this was hacked information. if he was advised this was stuff the russian government somehow obtained by criminal means, t

between michael cohen acting as donald trump's personal lawyer in trump tower in donald trump's office in trump tower two months before the presidential election. let's listen to michael cohen describing to donald trump what he believes he had to do to create a company to pay substantial amounts of money for the silence of a woman who claims she had a one-year sexual relationship with donald trump. let's listen to that tape. >> i need to open up a company for the transfer of of all of that info regarding our friend david. i'm going to do that right away. i've spoken to allen weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up with -- >> so what do we got to pay for this? 150? >> funding -- yes. and it's all the stuff. >> yeah, i was thinking about that. >> all the stuff. because here you never know where that company -- >> maybe he gets hit by a truck. >> correct. and i'm all over that. and i spoke to allen about it. when it comes time for the financing, which will be -- >> wait a sec, what financing? >> we'll have to pay him something. >> pay with cash. >> no, no, no, no. i got it. >> che

donald trump accused jessica leeds of lying. oh, i was with donald trump in 1980. i was sitting with him on a plane. and he went after me on the plane. yeah, i'm going to go after... believe me, she would not be my first choice that i can tell you! man! donald trump says you're a liar. what did you think of that? well... you know he... of course he is going to say that. he lives in a fantasy of his manly prowess. jessica leeds isn't the only woman with a story about the president. his hand touched the right inside... of my breast. donald trump would look up under their skirt and you know comment on whether they had underwear or didn't have underwear and what the view looked like. the person on my right who unbeknownst to me at that time was donald trump, put their hands up my skirt. he did touch my regina through my underwear. he pushed me up against the wall and had his hands all over me and tried to get up my dress. i had to say, what are you doing, stop it. it was a shocking thing to have him do this. some women have evidence to back up their stories. this is yo

yes, there was quite a bromance between alex salmond and donald trump when donald trump was a reality tv star with deep pockets. he was promising to come here, create thousands of jobs, invest billions in scotland. that never happened, and that relationship soured around about 2014 with donald trump tweeting that alex salmon was maybe the worst leader that the free world has seen, which is a nice bit of foreshadowing there. but as i say, nicola sturgeon is a very different case. her relationship with donald trump has always been different, so no, i don't think this is an embarrassment for the snp. i think the media response, the public response and the political response in scotland have been quite in tune. i'm curious though, that you think it would have been better for her to have met donald trump. of course that rests on the fact that the president would have extended the invitation, but do you think there is a risk here that she could have scored more political points and more effectively gotten her point across if she had sought that meeting rather more forcefully? yes, and as i

messages that donald trump has put there? at what point will half of them or even just one fourth of them lose the strength to hold all those contradictions in their heads at the same time? when will they lose that strength and just give up, give up on donald trump? because if that happens, if half of donald trump's fervent supporters reach the point where they just can't take it anymore, can't take any lie about how he arranged a payoff to a porn star, then we know how the trump presidency is going to end, the president will be removed from office after an impeachment trial in the united states senate or like nixon before him, he will resign from office before being convicted in the senate, and i mean being convicted by republican senators because if donald trump loses anywhere between one fourth and one-half of his fervent republican base, the bottom will fall out of the republican party. and the 16 current republican senators who voted for the conviction of bill clinton in his impeachment trial and removal of office would

donald trump isa should remember that. donald trump is a great showman. he is great at dominating the media landscape. what we have seen in the last 24 hours from kim jong—un is similar. we have seen in the last 24 hours from kimjong—un is similar. kim jong—un is arriving as a different figure than his father, who would not have gone on a walkabout... figure than his father, who would not have gone on a walkabout. .. just a moment. you are watching bbc news on this historic moment. donald trump, the us president, the first sitting us president to meet with a north korean leader, kimjong—un. a moment the world thought would never happen. smiles. a handshake, of course. and a gentle manoeuvre from donald trump to the side as they make their way through to the library where the two men, i understand, will have a brief conversation with just translators present. if they have not done that already. we will stay with these live pictures on the island of sentosa. extraordinary to see this moment. we understand the two people on either side will translate

when he is meeting with donald trump, he will need to be aware of this because donald trump is going tojudge him to see if he is going tojudge him to see if he is trustworthy and loyal. can i trust you or are you going to stab me in my back? he follows his gut and his advisers. he will follow his gut. he will look for the eye contact. the length of the handshake. i think kimjong—un, his challenge would be, because he is not used to people looking him in the eyes for so long as supreme leader. donald trump, very quickly, we are running out of time? they willjudge how he we are running out of time? they will judge how he feels we are running out of time? they willjudge how he feels when he meets him in the first few minutes. the body language expert, manoj vasudevan, telling us what we need to look out for. the handshake, the gruff, firm handshake between the two, will donald trump do what he has done with other leaders? we will continue on bbc world news with half an hourto go. thank you so much for watching this special coverage. i'm rico hizon together with babita sharma. see you

in other words, emmanuel macron spends all of his time with donald trump trying to prevent donald trump from being harm to himself, his country, and the world. and of course president macron is obviously far more intelligent and articulate and wise and younger and more attractive in every way than donald trump. and that has to drive donald trump just crazy, crazy to the point of possibly pretending to see something that only his 71-year-old eyes can see. >> mr. president, they're all and that has to drive donald trump just crazy, crazy to the point of possibly pretending to see something that only his 71-year-old eyes can see. >> mr. president, they're all saying what a great relationship we have. and they're actually correct. it's not fake news. finally, it's not fake news. so it's a great honor. a great honor that you're here. but we do have a very special relationship. in fact, i'll get that little piece of and the rough off -- we have to make him perfect. he is perfect. >> if he is perfect, he was perfect, he was perfect before donald trump touched him. because there isn't even any

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

trump, proximity the meeting was one floor from donald trump and proximity with donald trump and donald trump jr. and how much they talked about the campaign for a year. so it's hard to believe he didn't know. >> when donald trump jr. said i didn't want to bother him with it, this is someone we heard talking on the "access hollywood" bus, we see him spending his entire weekends playing golf, this is a guy who publically, donald trump, has all the time in the world to discuss all the trivial things that cross anyone's mind close to him, the credibility of i didn't want to bother the big guy with anything as small as this is rather strained in this situation. >> sure. look, you played the clip before of the comment trump made right after this meeting is being set up, which he says he's going to give a speech about some very interesting information about the clintons. and this is right after the e-mail trail shows that rob goldstone is promising the russians meeting at trump tower is going to have some very incriminating information from kremlin files about hillary clinton. so the parallel

donald trump believes that. he believes that line as written in the indictment of the witch hunt today. donald trump loves that line. and the reason we know he loves it so much is because he tweeted it after the indictment was made public. russia started their anti-u.s. campaign in 2014, long before i announced that i would run for president. so now he believes the witch hunt. russia started the anti-u.s. campaign in 2014. now that he believes the witch hunt, maybe he'll start calling it the russia investigation instead of the witch hunt. now that 13 russians, who are not witches, have actually been indicted. we know that's not going to happen. we know that donald trump has an increasingly limited vocabulary and he'll never get the witch hunt thing you on of his head and he'll never stop lying about what robert mueller's investigation is actually about and what it is accomplishing. in a 37-page indictment filed in district court, robert mueller said that 13 russians have conspired since 2014 to violate laws that

we do have this video from 43-year-old donald trump. in 1989. >> i have said on occasion, i would love to be a well educated black because i do believe they have an if i were to started toi would love to be educated because i do believe they would have an advantage today. >> joining us right now, franklin leonard, the film executive and founder of the "blacklist" and jason johnson is back with us. that was donald trump in 1989 says i would love to be a well educated black because i believe they do have an actual advantage today. any hints of racism in that? >> look, i said for several years now that when you are accustom to privilege, equality feels like -- we are talking about the hence of the beginning of progress towards equality and 1989 and 2018 we hear the narrative from the white house and animated the entire white supremacist movement in this country. look, i am happy to be where i would imagine donald trump would consider a well-educated black. there is no evidence to backup that claim. being a well-educated black meaning a col

out of congress would in donald trump's view risk the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia and would not be putting put america first. right you know in that statement where you read or perhaps a little bit later the president writes after the united states saudi arabia is the largest oil producing nation in the world and they have worked closely with us and been very responsive to my requests keeping oil prices that reasonable levels well what happened just a couple of weeks ago come out we had the iran sanctions targeting oil exports there were concerns about rising prices something that the president doesn't want for his base particularly working class americans who might be struggling to fill up the gas tank and don't want to see those prices spike saudi arabia allows the president the confidence to know that those prices can remain somewhat stable so it's interesting that the president is on the one hand saying to congress look you can go in another direction but in the next breath saying but be careful about those oil prices you've got c

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

trump because he worked for donald trump, although he said he was independent of donald trump. >> in 2011, the fcc ruled in cohen's favor. the win was another way of proving his loyalty. >> the way he initially described it to me was a father-son relationship. when i asked him why he had blind loyalty, he always threw the question back to me, would you do this for your father? >> at the end of the day, the only people donald trump really considers his family are his own family. anyone who considers themselves to be almost a trump family member should really take a reality check because they tend not to stay around very long. >> but cohen did stay and proved his willingness to fight for his boss by aggressively attacking donald trump's enemies, real or perceived. >> not only a war of words, between a beauty queen of organizers of the miss usa pagea pageant. pennsylvania's representative claims the competition is rigged. >> just after the 2012 miss usa pageant, co-owned by donald trump, they claimed the finalists were predetermined. >> my message is very simple. i want the truth made k

>> donald trump back at the center of the world stage, the singapore summit with a north korean leader, back in helsinki, finland, for a summit with russian pres. vladimir putin. and a lot of controversy and speculation ahead of this, we will separate fact from fiction. i was live in finland, 22 hours of sunlight this time of year. a beautiful spectacular morning for the summit. four hours from now, the president -- the pres. and first lady will arrive in the wonderful yellow building behind me the site of today's meeting, donald trump and his russian counterpart will touch a range of subjects from nuclear arms control to syria, we are breaking that down early this morning. he is also trying to downplay expectation. >> let's have a meeting, i do believe in meetings, having a meeting with chairman kim was a good thing. having meetings with the president of china was a very good thing. so having meetings with russia, china, north korea, i believe in it, nothing bad will come out of it and some good will come out of it. >> reporter: you will have to stick with us, live pictures of the pre

donald trump. he does come up with slogans, he does pick things up, he is not so much an originator as he is a popularizer. ronald reagan said make america great again, donald trump just stole it outright. >> stole it and put it on the hat. >> there's the saying no justice no peace, and now no collusion and no obstruction? is he getting that from his lawyers as he's doing prep? stay with me and as i mentioned this is a breaking story and we have more breaking news, a california congressman and democrat ted lu has called into this plan, congressman, what do you think it means that donald trump is saying that for the first time with a timeline he'll sit with bob mueller in two or three weeks? >> i think it's good news for the democracy and i don't think the president should be treated any differently. and i'm pleased he's going to speak with robert mueller. keep in mind, he's being interviewed not just as a witness, but as a target of the russia probe and he's going to have some serious answers he's

donald trump has said he's a nationalist. and he has essentially rebranded the entire republican party as nationalist, and you've seen, in the midterm campaign, the way they ran a campaign of vilifying immigrants, of fomenting bigotry against minorities. this is not a republican party that i could possibly support, and the entire republican party is complicit with what donald trump has done. and so i think it was imperative for the entire republican party to pay a price for what he is doing to our country and our politics. >> there are some members of congress who don't support the president, who don't support his agenda, who go to great ends to, on a pretty consistent basis, disassociate themself from his rhetoric and from his policies. now, there aren't many, i grant you that. but there are a couple, and some of them survived, but some of them didn't. >> right. >> so, why punish them? >> well, i'm not looking to punish them. if there was some way to leave the moderate republicans and then take out the more objectionable mem

donald trump's lawyers. and today he has no doubt created sheer panic in donald trump's very fragile mind and in the week and fragile mind of michael cohen because of what michael avenatti said on msnbc tonight. you will hear that in a moment but here's what he tweeted late last night. it was a photograph of a dvd if a picture is worth a thousand words, what's this worth? i was one of many a bit confused by that tweet. and then they said it must have prove a relationship with stormy daniels and donald trump. and then tonight he clarified what his tweet meant in the most painful, possible terms for donald trump. >> let me tell you this, chris, that dvd contains evidence of this relationship. let me tell you why i sent the tweet. i sent the tweet as a warning shot to michael cohen and any other supporter to the president and the president himself to the extent they plan on disparaging my client, lying about what happened or spinning facts that have no basis in reality after this "60 minute" interview, let that

it's just 100% donald trump doing what donald trump wants. neera tanden, can anyone turn donald trump into someone who can appeal to voters who aren't already supporting him? >> i mean, the reality of this last two years is that donald trump has not built on his base. and i think that you pointed out the numbers amongst republicans, but i think what's an even more clear warning shot is how well democrats did across the country with independents. they won independents dicively even in places like texas. and david is right there are places democrats should focus on and try to shore up. but when you look at the breadth of the victory from one part of this country to basically every corner, democrats put together a winning coalition. a large scale coalition of suburban women, a lot of college educated white men, in fact it used to be the base of the republican party, as well as millennials who no one expected to turn out and luteenees because of the ret rrk around the caravan. donald trump is in a day's long fury because his strategy backfired. h

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

trump or donald trump's businesses being discussed, issues involving donald trump being discussed on 100 michael cohen tapes. >> i would go back to the tweet you reference in the top of the hour when trump tweeted what kind of a lawyer tapes his client. i would answer that a little differently than you. i would say the kind of lawyer that tapes his client is a lawyer that has a client that's telling everyone he's taping everyone else. when you, as a reporter, would go into trump's office, he would say you don't mind if i turn on my tape recording system and he would reach beneath his desk and pretend to press a button. >> you say pretend to press a button. >> i know in fact we was pretending because we deposed him about this. >> instead of having a recording device in plain view, he would do this james bond thing. >> why not just actually record you? >> he would have had to pay to get a system put in. that's money he didn't want to spend. but when we litigated in 2007, my attorney said to him, mr. trump, you have repeatedly said that you had a recording system in your office and you

. >> how did that donald trump. >> get out. >> become this donald trump? >> i'd like to punch him in the face, i'll tell you. >> there were 36 years between those two moments, years in which a young developer transformed himself into a president. by now dramatic pronouncements about donald trump. >> why is it lie after lie after lie? >> have become commonplace. >> this is the most serious charge ever made against a sitting president. >> the truth is trump's time in office has been chaotic. so it's crucial that we understand exactly how this man became president. >> you may say it was russia or hillary or comey, but there's an even larger question. how did this utterly unusual candidate win the nomination against 16 formedable rivals? how did he even get close to winning the presidency? >> go out tomorrow and vote. >> 63 million americans voted for him, and tens of millions remain fiercely loyal. this is the story of the deeper reasons why trump won. we begin with the most fundamental aspect of his character. donald trump is a performer. >> life is acting t

donald trump's own lawyers called for a special prosecutor because donald trump fired james comey. and donald trump does not know that. and will not know that unless some brave soul working in the white house watching msnbc right now dares to tell donald trump. spears and imes are consummate professionals. they will fairly and fully and responsibly defend their client, donald trump's interests without any regard to their own political leanings or the fact that they previously worked with james comey. just like special prosecutor robert mueller has conducted himself with the utmost in professionalism, without any apparent bias being shown in favor of james comey, simply because they once worked together. that's the way the best, most professional lawyers always operate. and for once donald trump has the best and most professional lawyers in the southern district of new york. and he has them because he is absolutely terrified of what's happening in that courtroom. michael cohen, on the other hand, is represented by a lawyer who has been lied to or -- or even worse, did not tell the t

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

i have found it interesting stop donald trump, hatred of donald trump, feral of donald trump, that in the closing moments the biggest guns of the democratic party are not talking about donald trump, they are talking about the things you mentioned before, the substantive issues. they're basically saying you can't deal with this lunatic. what you can do is he's a liar and the way to deal with that is talk about health care, talk about jobs. >> how's andrew gillum handling what the president does every day? >> well, for the most part, lawrence, he's really trying to make sure he focuses on the issues apparently people care about. health care is obviously a big issue. and him responding to the issues that i guess trump brings up but not directly to trump himself. he's not going to necessarily comment on a particular thing trump says or does. but he's going to comment on the spirit of what trump is doing. you've seen that in his as and speeches and rhetoric. but again i marched near him when he was at the florida a&m homecoming parade a few weeks ago and not one person on the side was yell

donald trump is very different. i don't think we have ever seen anything like this in american politics. and he has diminished us. right. what do you think those millions of, particularly white working—class americans, who voted for donald trump and who, according to every single opinion poll, are still foursquare behind donald trump, what do you think they make of people like you describing donald trump's policies as racist and bigoted? because it makes me mindful of hillary clinton during the campaign calling trump supporters "the basket of deplorables." it doesn't seem that you democrats have a way of connecting with the white working class in the way that donald trump does. well, see, that's the difference. i don't think donald trump, yes, the core of the republican base is very solid and still behind donald trump, but trump was also able to win some swing independent votes, that i believe fundamentally won't be there for him this next time around. and you will see that in terms of the results of the november

that is not donald trump. he is a bombastic businessman who went to nato with the idea of shaking up the status quo. world leaders who are still reeling from the sort of blistering, scolding attacks. he went in that way but he went out with a softer tone. i think went out with a softer tone. i think we will see the same thing today after the meeting at chequers. because first of all, great britain and the uk and the united states are our strongest ally. we have shared world values, we have shared concerns, especially when it concerns, especially when it concerns international terrorism. we are each other‘s largest trading partners. i think we can withstand these family squabbles. i know that brits and backbenchers are reeling today from some of the rhetoric and the somewhat provocative interview in the sun. however, i do think that the two leaders will find more in common than in their differences. but it is important to look at the nuances too. president trump is sending a signal. he is a populist president

whisperer, because he can go and talk to donald trump and persuade him ona talk to donald trump and persuade him on a number of issues. certainly he has been credited for having a slightly different approach and syria. but it doesn't feel, despite all that bonhomie, despite all the laughing and joking we have seen in front of the cameras, it doesn't feel like he has persuaded him on a lot of issues. and in terms of donald trump, he continues to push the america first agenda, and in that congress speech he was very clear about it not being america first, about president macron really feeling that he wanted to put forward a worldview. and we saw that again today. this is in some respects an incredibly successful state visit, because it is again wanding france and the us. you have seen that real bond between two presidents. but, at the same time, as president macron walks away, there will be some asking exactly what has been achieved. because in that news conference you heard him asked about the key subjects, about syria, on which he is certainly committed, on which france is certainly

i did not know donald trump. i knew he was a racist because i listened to the racist things he very happily said in public then. omarosa tells us that donald trump told her then that he wasn't being racist when he was lying about president obama's birth. he was just using it as a political device. omarosa wasn't the only one who refused to call donald trump a racist seven years ago. virtually the entire political news media held their fire back then and begged donald trump to do another tv interview talking about the obama birth certificate because it was good for ratings. the omarosa story is about what it means to be complicit and how many people in how many places are complicit in the cruelty and incompetence of the trump white house and the trump administration and how they all must at some level know that they are complicit no matter what they are willing to say now. >> yes. it is hindsight. but i will say this to you. i was complicit with this white house deceiving this nation. nay continue to deceive this

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 because he worked for donald trump. even though he said should trump run was independent of donald trump. >> but in 2011, the f.e.c. ruled in co-en's favor. for michael cohen, the win was another way of proving his loyalty. >> the way he initially described it to me was a father/son relationship. and when i asked him why he has blind loyalty, he always threw the question back to me as, would you do this for your father? >> the end of the day, the only people donald trump really considers as family are his own family. anyone who considers themself to be almost a trump family member, should really take a reality check. because they tend not to stay around very long. >> but michael cohen did stay and prove his willingness to fight for his boss by aggressively attacking donald trump's enemies, real or perceived. >> a war of words between a beauty queen and organizers of the miss usa pageant. pennsylvania's representative claims the competition is rigged. >> just after the 2012 miss usa pageant, co-owned by donald trump, con

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
