The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. Charlottesville where Heather Heyer was killed. Rather than condemn the bigots or beliefs today, the president took aim at a protest, a small group of nfl players calling attention to Racial Injustice and inequality last night. He tweeted the nfl players at it again taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. A Football Game fans pay so much money to enjoy is no place to protest. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for the National Anthem or be suspended without pay. This is an issue that President Trump has said he believes to be a winning one for him and while it may, in fact, rally many in his base its another example of this president seeking to divide a country that in some places, frankly, seems to be fraying at the seams. Few acts can prompt a president ial tweet as predictably as a nfl player
protesting in the National Anthem. After some Football Players took knees and raised fists last night, President Trump embraced what he believes is a winning issue for him notwithstanding how divisive it is saying players, quote, wanted to show outrage at something that most of them are unable to define. Find another way to protest. Of course, plenty of players including Philadelphia Eagle jenkins that raised the fist thursday have defined the motivations often and in detail. I dont see how we should somehow be quiet when we want to talk about racial equality or inequality and social justice. Reporter the president s campaign against nfl players staging the protests began in september 2017. Get that [ bleep ] off the field right now. Out. Reporter according to sworn testimony of Dallas Cowboys owner jerry jones the president told him in a private
conversation its a winning, strong issue for him. Adding this one lifts me. But critics cry it lifts up bigotry, as well. Our Commander In Chief is, in fact, the racial opportunist in chief in this country. Reporter all this as we approach the oneyear anniversary of the united the right rally in virginia. After which the president failed to denounce its racist attendees clearly, decisively and without moral equivalencies of neonazis and those protesting. I think theres blame on both sides. And i have no doubt about it. Reporter critics and many prominent africanamericans say hateful rhetoric has only amplified since. Since this guys got in the white house its not a big whistle. Its a bull horn. Reporter racists seem to be comfortable Coming Out Of The Shadows such as here telling cnn why he voted for president
trump. Rural america spoke up electing trump. We have the possibility of becoming a minority in our own country. Sounds like youre afraid of being me and its my country. This is also my country. You didnt win the culture war. Reporter that war rages on. [ bleep ] now there is there is a spirit in this country that is so foul i dont know if america can i dont think we can come back from this. Reporter the conversations can be difficult. Kanye west quick to pounce on perceived racism of the white house after hurricane katrina. George bush doesnt care about black people. Reporter west now considers himself a trump supporter and last night he had trouble answering this simple question from jimmy kimmel. You so famously and so powerfully said george bush doesnt care about black people. It makes me wonder what makes you think that donald trump does or any people at all. Why dont we take a break . Well come back and kanye west is here. Lets bring in the panel to have this conversation. Perry, why does the president want to have this question, this conversation, especially one year after what even a lot of his friends and supporters say was the low point of his president . First of all. I think they believe this. Remember mike pence went to the Football Game last year . Kind of a stunt in some ways and then left. I think if you look at the polls, second thing, poll reading in my job and the plurality of people dont like kneeling in nfl. This is one issue where trump probably has the majority of support with him and in the Republican Party its unified around being opposed to kneeling and this is may not like it but may be where trump is playing smart poll tiblgs. It is absolutely true most people or a plurality are with him. And in fact, lets put up this
the Washington Post kaiser poll earlier this year which found that 42 of adults sometim sometimes its appropriate to neil. 53 never. He is on the winning side of this. No. He is on the losing side of it because as president of the united states, especially after what we saw a year ago with the anniversary of charlottesville, really, remembering what happened in charlottesville, he should be reuniting people, bringing the country together. But instead its a battle this morning to this awful tweet and what i see from the tweet is that he doesnt see these players as american citizens who are speaking up against an issue thats incredibly disturbing, race in america, hes basically seeing them as entertainers, only. And his tweet he basically tells them, sit down and shut up. Stop. Youre being paid a lot of money. Be cool about it. And thats how he sees all black athletes. Look at what he did with lebron
james. And black figures. He goes to the iq. Talking about the iq. Sit down and be quiet. This is a pattern. A bigoted racist pattern by the president and ill add one more thing. This week we remembered the birthdays of stephon clark, would have been 24 years old this week and mike brown who would have been 22. Both killed by the hands of the police, murdered. And havent gotten any justice and that is what the kaepernick and others are really protesting. Right . Protesting the Racial Injustice and what do we do to stop this . Thats the question here. Bill, President Trump told jerry jones, cowboys owner, according to a deposition that the nfl protests, very winning, strong issue for me. Tell everybody you cant win this one. This one lifts me. And the nfl owners seem to take that advice. Yeah. That was depressing, too. I mean, id say the other side
thats but framing, look at the poll questions. Do you think its okay to protest . Kneel during the National Anthem. Just says protest. That in and of itself, the president has won. President trump said in his tweet that he thought most players didnt have any idea what they were protesting, couldnt describe it. Malcolm jenkins, im biassed. Pro eagles. World champion. Super bowl champion. Did they win . Malcolm jenkins tweeted before the game last night where players did protest, during the anthem, he tweeted, before we enjoy this game, take some time to ponder more than 60 of the Prison Population is people of color. What you witness on the field does not represent the reality of every day america. We are the anomalies. It sounds to me like he thought this through no matter what President Trump said. The players are not clear what theyre protesting. They have written opeds. Spoken about this. Its clear why theyre protesting. You dont have to agree to understand theyre clear about the case of policing in the country, from kaepernick forward. The timing you talked about in terms of charlottesville, not surprised trump said that. Shocked but not surprised. A momt of he is still i still expect this. Expected around the time of Football Season to start to weigh in on the issue because he thinks this is the issue where hes won on and like you said, the nfl basically folded and they have basically set up a policy of kneeling leads to fines and maybe suspensions and some ways trump, the nfl owners rewarded the policy. Not surprised he thinks its a winning issue for him. In june, the president seemed to be taking a more interesting and introspective approach. Take a listen. Ask all of those people to

Turning to Politics Lead now, the white house is fighting back against Salacious Claims of former assistant to President Trump. Omarosa. The Reality Tv Star was the highest ranking africanamerican woman in the west wing before being fired in december. She was offered a 15,000 a month job on the Trump Campaign that would, of course, require to keep quiet about her time in the trump administration. Some are casting this as hush money. Before the election, every critic and detractor will have to bow down and now calling him a bigot. According to book excerpts by the Washington Post. Kaitlan collin santos symphony traveling with the president in new jersey. I know the white house is pushing back. What are they disputing . Reporter well, theyre disputing the book and the entirety here, jake. Press secretary issuing quite a statement saying instead of telling the truth about the good that President Trump and his administration have been doing that instead omarosa, quote, this book is riddled with lies and false accusations, Sarah Sanders said its sad that a disgruntled former white house employee is trying to profit and that the media gives her a platform after not taking her seriously with only positive things to say about the president during the time in the administration. Now, jake, sarah sander santos symphony not here in new jersey with the president and the rest of the white house staff. She is on vacation and still issued this statement. For the last several days, aides knew that these kinds of claims were coming in this book ahead of omarosas Publicity Tour and
encouraged President Trump not to react and give oxygen to the claims made in the book. That seems to have held for several days but today something clearly irritated the president over this and he had his Press Secretary issue this statement. What exactly was omarosas role in the white house . Reporter she was actually a very high up employee. She had the title of Assistant To The President , a top earner making 179,000. But her role was not very well defined and aides often complained that they didnt exactly know what it was that she did in the white house. That was clearly something that made her clash with john kelly, the chief of staff coming into the white house last fall trying to weed out people he thought didnt have well defined roles. Jake, i have been on the phone with current and former officials that worked with omarosa saying she was glad she left the white house and thinks the claims in the book unfounded and absurd and did concede a close relationship with President Trump. Aides encouraged him not to hire her when he became president and he did so anyways and insisted on doing so and spoke with her and invited her into the oval office so they did have a close relationship despite the white house saying that what she says in the book isnt true. All right. Ka kaitlan collins, thanks so much. Omarosa not credible . I understand. But to be honest, there are a lot of people with credibility issues associated with the white house. Especially if you speak out against the president and the administration. Then you have a whole then all guns are blazing toward you. So, some she does have some of these conversations on tape. She was taping them in the oval office . Taping them in the oval office. And so, and i daily beast reported that. Jack dawson said he listened to it and matched up with the quotes in the book. Some of this is very much valid
and there are tapes to prove it. We just the whole book isnt on tape. The Trump Campaign is not responding to requests for comment about the accusation ta they offered her a job after she was fired from the white house in exchange for the 15,000 a month and make appearances and such and also not be allowed to talk about her time at the white house. This is after shed already given some interviews. Do you find that credible . Generally people dont deny things they might be true so i think its credible. The idea that they would offer hush money is not the most Ethical Administration or Political Team we have ever seen and not surprised by that. Omarosas book suggesting trump uses racial rhetoric, i dont need a book to know that and im curious to know if she has anything we didnt know about the general behavior and what did she do . They have one point is as a person covering the white house, never clear to me what she did or if she had any real influence
and the fact she is disgruntled leaving, she had very little power and fired and said very loyal things to trump before and now saying something very different and she is not among the more credible people to criticize him. Not just positive things of President Trump. Take a listen. This is an interview to frotline in 2016 before trump was elected predicting what would happen after election day. Every critic, every detractor will have to bow down to President Trump. Its everyone whos ever doubted donald, whoever disagreed, whoever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe. Sarah sanders we didnt cover the positive things that omarosa said. We sure covered that one. We sure covered that one. But the fact is that shes going from that bizarre statement to calling the president a racist,
misogynist bigot. Do you believe either one of these omarosas . Unfortunately, that first statement not entirely false and people have bowed down to President Trump who said they never would and maybe she knew something about the power of the oval office and the ability of people to rationalize. And she said he would win. Yeah, right. I think the Hush Money Thing is amazing. If im not mistaken, the former bodyguard is paid 15,000 a month by the campaign. I mean, really . This is now the situation were in with someone disgruntled. Fire you and give you money to keep you quiet. She rejected it. Thats very revealing. I dont recall that in the past. White house aides leaving and being given money to keep quiet. Bill, i have to say its not surprising with the playboy playmate, the so its a common theme that were hearing with this president. With omarosa, look, trying to sell a book. She worked and worked in the administration before in the clinton i think for gore under clinton. And so, its not surprising. I agree with you. We dont really need the book or tapes to tell us that donald trump is a bigot or a racist. We have a lot of data points to prove that to us. Central park five. How he entered into politics going after obama, president obama. With the birtherism. How he jumped into the presidency. President ial race with calling mexicans racists and rapists. Sorry. Drug dealers. We have a lot there so we dont need the book to tell us that. One thing thats interesting is if you believe that she was offered this hush money and other people are paid hush money, i mean, thats not President Trump or the National Enquirer paying off somebody. Thats, you know, these people, these hard working Trump Supporters sending in 5 contributions to help make America Great again, stand by President Trump, paying if you
believe the story paying to keep people quiet. You know, if theres a lot more silence, they could work on making America Great again and not fight off accusations about this book. You have to i mean, omarosa is a show woman. Thats probably one of the reasons they wanted her out of the white house. But dont hate the player. Hate the game.

In our Politics Lead, believe it or not, Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti in iowa at the Iowa State Fair and then hid lining the wing ding democratic dinner because he is considering running for president in 2020. Im here to listen to the great people of iowa explore the fair and figure out if it makes sense to run for the presidency. Im serious about considering it. Im not making a decision of what to do. Ill make the decision in the coming weeks. You know . Maybe im going a bit longer than that. Talk about it with the experts. Like when it comes to the mayors that are thinking about running,
landrieu in new orleans, et cetera, you know, i make the argument, well, President Trump has no prior political experience. Why cant a mayor do it . Even a house member was too low on the totem pole. Why not . Why not . Why snot. Im serious. I mean, seriously, in another time and another place, i would reject this out of hand and laugh at it. He has amazing exposure because of no pun intended but because hes on cable news constantly. He is someone because of a porn star. Thats the pun. Okay. Sorry. Anyway, its friday, folks. But no. He has a lot of on tv constantly. Hes really taken up the resistance cause. What he say santos symphony that theres no one right now running or considering running whos taking to the president and
being aggressive and so he thinks that someone needs to be aggressive like trump. Be a fighter. Now they have trump. He says also why a politician . Why do you want a politician . Why do you want some old face . How about a new face . How about somebody whens as jackie said going to take it to the president . Theres an i dont know that happens after you get elected and just year and a half shows experience might be helpful. You could say trump is a fairly effective and not knowledgeable at the job itself and not clear to me, i dont think the Party Republicans like these bigtime outsiders, obama was an outsider but a sitting senator as a professor, also been in state senate before and i dont think thats a good view of the Democratic Party. This is a citizen i would like a president who knows what theyre doing. I dont think this is a good trend to continue. Youre affiliated with moveon. Org. Do you think anyone will take a bite of this pie . Is this possible . Oh man, its hard to even fathom. Its so early. I think were so focused on november and 2018 and the work this needs to go into. Except for the people running for president. Yeah. With the ding dong. But i mean the Corey BookersElizabeth Warren all figuring it out. Go with god. It is just you know, i dont know what to say about this. Its so crazy. The thing that i i guess the nice thing that i can say about avenatti is that he has managed to seemingly get under the skin of donald trump. He is incredibly aggressive. I agree with perry. Its nice to have someone with experience, Commander In Chief avenatti . I dont know about that one. Boy. Thats the most skeptical expression i have ever seen you give. You have been on the show for three years under trump. Lets just say who do you think actually would be a good challenger to President Trump for the democrats to put up in 2020 . Theres debates of democrats and one is what avenatti said. A fighter as opposed to a boring politician to run on experience. I think they would be better off with the more someone who has showed to govern, someone calm, landrieu. New orleans. Would be a pretty good nominee. Or maybe someone else whos sort of so i think a contrast of trump might be a better sell than the more effective at Fighting Trump and hard to say and not sure who they nominate. Maybe a fighter even though i might say youre better off to nominate someone to govern effectively. John boehner asked why he was there. Take a listen to his answer. Well, i stopped by. See Whats Going On at the fair. Thought id stop by and see Whats Going On at the fair. He doesnt live in iowa. Tom delay does, right . Just hanging out with a buddy . I dont know that for a fact. Thats the only connection maybe john boehner is running. Im just kidding. A better chance of the democratic nomination than republican nomination at this point. I want to say, bill, you said something on this show i think on wednesday morning or wednesday afternoon about how nancy pelosi was the best argument against democrat control that republicans have and since then you obviously had been doing your homework. Republicans have been pushing that message very, very hard. This was in the Ohio Special Election this ad. Take a look. After lying the whole campaign, dishonest Danny Oconnor admits hed vote for pelosi. Youd do that . Whoever the Democratic Party
thank you. Whoever the Democratic Party thank you. Lied about pelosi. So whether or not that had any affect, nbc news reporting 51 Kand Dacandidates and incumbt supporting nancy pelosi. Is she a liability in any way . Look. I dont think that she is a liability right now. I think whats happening is republicans dont have an issue that they can really run on. They cant run on tax cuts. Because theyre running away from it. So unpopular. They cant run on health care. Voters know they tried to take away health care and family separation thats awful and a moral issue. And so, what theyre doing is going back to the playbook of tricks and pulling out a boogie man thats nancy pelosi and look. At the end of the day i think what i look at is democrats and democrats energized. We see that. We see that thighre coming out for the issues and theyre coming out in record numbers even in the special elections. Cutting away double digit leads, well, i should say leads that we saw from 2016 on the republican side. I just want to play the sound of a Michigan Democratic candidate talking about voting for pelosi. Will you vote for nancy pelosi . Probably not. Probably not . Thats my answer. No, probably not. Why not . She doesnt speak about the issues that are important to the families of the 13th Congressional District an theyre a priority for me. That to me means that candidate has polling showing shes toxic and what republicans have been saying for years. Meeting with republicans both nrcc and the outside groups, thats what they the other outside groups, they say, too. Theres a reason this is being done. Not just because. Stick around.

Today before a grand jury in Robert Muellers russia investigation. Investigators could be interested in her ties the longtime trump adviser roger stone. She was interviewed last week. They have been Close Friends for a decade. Christin davis is a brilliant woman, a friend of mine. Someone who has made mistakes and has paid her debt to society. Reporter davis once ran a highend Prostitution Ring and went to jail as part of the scandal of governor spitzer. The remorse i feel will always with me. Reporter and ran for new york governor in 2010. I have redeemed myself and americans believe in second chances. Reporter also worked with stone more recently. In late 2016, helped him with clerical tasks and the website. Knows of no russian collusion or wikileaks collaboration or any other illegal activity on my part in connection with the
president ial election or otherwise. Reporter the mueller team is looking into possible contact of stone and wikileaks founder asua asuaje. He denies the hacked documents came from the russian government. Stone bragged about being in contact with assange. I believe the next crunch of his documents pertain to the Clinton Foundation but there is no telling what the October Surprise may be. Reporter but later walked it back. Wheres the proof . There is no proof. Reporter but the circle continuing to tighten around stone aez mueller subpoenaed randy to testify, the comedian and Radio Show Host Attorney telling cnn he intends to comply. Stone claims he was a back channel to assange in the 2016
campaign. Stone telling cnn, i realize it was a wikileaks lawyer and not assange himself. And while davis appears to be cooperating with mueller, another former aide of stones Andrew Miller did not appear for a Hearing Today and was held in contempt. His attorney telling reporters we supplied the documents they wanted so we had to have one thing that he was refusing to do, namely go before the grand jury. In order for us to get the contempt and to appeal. Jake, as you know, Rudy Giuliani has said this investigation better be wrapped up by september 1st. Seems pretty clear thats not going to happen. Randys lawyers saying he plans to testify on september 7th. Jake . I guess mueller not that interested in Rudy Giulianis
scheduling. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. Lets bring in laura coates. You have the Manhattan Madames planned testimony today. You have Andrew Miller, roger stones former associate to testify before the grand jury. Skipped it. Held in contempt and then randy credico. Sure seems like mueller focused on people around roger stone. Certainly. I mean, up until now, everyone thought that perhaps muellers focus to squeeze people for the target of donald trump and seems with paul manafort, with Michael Cohen and roger stone, maybe concentric circles and inner circle, people hes focused on saying you yourself have a problem. Its not just collusion but whatever he also uncovers in the process of that particular crime. And in doing so hes finding one person after another whos in that inner orbit who is saying, well, maybe its you whos the
new target. Dont worry about what i want with respect to donald trump. This does lead to trump because ive always thought stone would be at the center of collusion there was. He seems to have been in touch with wikileaks. Muellers very focused on that relationship right now. Look how far how distant is roger stone from donald trump . Theres emails. We could help on the timing of that. Doesnt tell donald trump about that . Famously quit from the campaign stayed in touch. Stayed in touch. He is trumps closest political adviser for 25 years. Ran his president ial campaign in 2000. Right. The little one until it faded away. Right . So i mean, no. The idea that going after stone doesnt get you very, very close to trump and whether there might be other evidence, stone was in touch with trump, phone records, i just talked to roger. I think this is very dangerous for trump. And listen to this. Because obviously this is the new world we are in. Sean hannity took the day off
from the radio show and jake sekulow substitute hosted for him and Rudy Giuliani, the other president ial attorney call in and basically did Sean Hannitys show today. Heres a little bit of chat, this just happened chatting about negotiations with muellers team for an interview. I think the constitutions clear theres not a right to interview the president under article ii. I think the Supreme Court would come to that conclusion. I also raises serious issues of this president and future presidencies and especially with the nature and scope of the cooperation that this white house has given to the investigators. Its unprecedented. Sure sounds like theres no plan whatsoever to let mueller interview President Trump. No. And they dont want that to happen at all. And theyre trying to avoid that at any cost clearly. Theyre on Sean Hannitys radio show and communicating to the base, to people that support donald trump. This is not a legal argument at
all. Im not a lawyer. Laura is here to dive into this more than i can but it is a p. R. Play and thats all that this is. And also, they know, we only hear from their side and not hearing from mueller. We dont know whens going on and We Dont Know What Mueller has. Is the constitution clear theres not a right to interview the president . No. Constitution deals very little sorry. Should i elaborate . Does little to talk about the affirmative rights what you cannot do and separation of powers. In reality, it is laughable that giuliani and sekulow both of whom are the president s private attorneys are having the conversations not Behind Closed Doors and sure intend to assert privilege and theyd like to say theyve made the gestures to try to say i dictated the terms to you, mueller. Why dont you allow me to do what i like to do . Like a 4yearold daughter saying why cant i do what i want to do . You dont hold the power in this relationship. I do, sweetheart. You think about the notion youre mueller in this . Im mueller. Not your daughter. Is my daughter trump . I dont know. I dont know. I dont want to go there but shes somewhere in between sekulow, giuliani and trump. I love her. Thats harsh. She is 4. My mini me. Better in some dways. I dont want to suggest for one second that the idea that roger stone, connected to donald trump, means that there is not an ultimate conclusion that donald trump himself may have legal jeopardy and why theyre so concern addned about it. He can focus and add on additional one targets and the indictment with the 12 agents talked about somebody in constant communication. Thats the roger stone. Listen to this, jackie. Heres roger stone clearly very aware that mueller is talking to
people in his immediate circle of family and friends. Take a listen. Im also mindful of any prosecutors ability to squeeze underlings to get them to compose testimony against a bigger fish. I so ive made it clear that theres no circumstances under which to testify against the president. I would not rule out cooperating if they think i can be helpful. Heres the interesting formulation of that sentence. He didnt say i have nothing to testify against the president about. He said he wouldnt testify against the president. Right. I mean, as we have seen in the other clips, not that stone chosen the words well leading up to this. And yeah. He seems to be in some legal jeopardy here. All there is to it. Does he have stuff to talk about President Trump . Saying he wont testify against President Trump. But for instance not really his choice. If youre a subpoenaed properly obtained, compelled to testify and very striking, a bigger story, his one of his chief aides refused repeatedly to
testify before the grand jury, been subpoenaed and refused to testimony and could be held in contempt or going to jail. If he himself guilty of something, he could take the fifth. You do have a duty to testify not testifying about with is he roger with respect to stone. This is fascinating. You should have him on the show somehow. He was on andersn the other night i think. Stick around. Coming up next, a raging wildfire in california set on purpose. The man allegedly behind it and the text message that might have stopped this from happening. Stay with us.
