President a moron. According to new nbc reporting, its what tillerson didnt say that further enraged trump. Secretarys refusal to deny that he called the president a moron in his Opening Statement and in his responses to questions from reporters stoked trumps anger and widened the rift between the two men, officials say. Meanwhile the president has rejected the advice of his Top National Security advisers and decertify the Iran Nuclear Deal leaving it in the hands of congress to decide what to do. The world is looking on in horr horror. According to the Washington Post, President Trumps decision to decertify the nuclear deal could start a chain of events that would sharply divide the United States from its closest traditional allies in the world. None of the three european signatories, britain, france and germany believes that iran is in violati violation. And even l each has said it will not renegotiate the nuclear deal. Then there was the president s bizarre statement just last night during a photo session with his top military advisers and their spouses before a dinner at the white house. Listen to what the president said. You guys know what that represents . Maybe its the calm before the storm. Reporter whats the storm . Could be the calm before the storm. Reporter what storm, mr. President . We have the world ears great military people in this room. Ill tell you that. And were going to have a great evening. Thank you all for coming. Reporter what storm, mr. President . Youll find out. Reporter give us a hint. Thank you everybody. What storm exactly was the president referring to. He offered no clarity today. Reporter mr. President , what did you mean by calm before the storm, what did you mean by that . Thank you very much. Youll find out. White house spokeswoman Sara Huckabee sanders was equally vague. Lets watch her. Reporter was he referring to military action when he said calm before the storm . As weve said many times before, i know the president has, as i have from this podium on quite a few occasions, were never going to say in advance what the president is going to do. And as he said last night, youll have to wait and see. For more im joined by joy reid, wall street Journal White House reporter eli stock ls and nick stein burger, former speech writer for samantha powers. Joy, i havent seen you in a while. Youve been a superstar on the weekend. Lets try your luck on a weekday. Heres the question. What is he talking about and why he is talking about in this language, big thoughts are coming to me, i may be doing something important, i cant say what it is. What is this about . Chris, it is great to see you. I definitely miss talking you on a more regular basis. Really good to be here. This is the fundamental recklessness of donald trump. He thinks what hes doing is keeping everyone on edge and giving himself an advantage strategically by not telling people what hes thinking. But what hes doing is destabilizing not just our situation visavis iran, this idea that hes going to decertify irans compliance when all of our allies say they are in compliance. But if youre in beijing right now thinking about what to do about north korea and about how to approach pyongyang, why should north korea believe that a deal we put on the table to get them to stand down from their Nuclear Ambitions if iran made a deal with the United States and the next president comes along open throws it in the trash. Donald trump is wreaking havoc on our relationships around the world. No wonder Rex Tillerson is frustrated. Let me go to this. When you say the calm before the storm, theres three storm fronts that we know about, north korea, as joy said, iran and whether were going the decertify and who is he going to fire at the highest level of his administration. Were not guessing all over the place. We think its one of those three areas. Its insane to think this is the calm because nothing feels calm around this administration. Sara sanders was asked about this, is he referring to something specific. She said not that she knows. He had an opportunity to ease the anxieties and say look, nothing is imminent. He didnt. He likes the drama. He likes teasing it out. President s have often been very careful and sober with their language about Foreign Policy, about the use of the military. You dont see that from this president. Even standing next to the families of our servicemen and women. Its anyones gez what hes talking about. Lets guess to why hes thinking about decertifying. Let me go to nick on this. April asked him from the White House Pressroom today, are you thinking about firing basically shi said, are you thinking about firing your chief of staff. And i i guess its crazy land. An attorney general he doesnt like, doesnt like sessions, doesnt consider the guy he wants, doesnt seem to like his secretary of tate. The guy reportedly called him a moron and hasnt taken it back. Which is pretty hurough. And it seems like he may not like the straight jacket hes in thanks to his chief of staff. So the question is, john kelly. Nick, how do we know whats going on here . Do you have any reporting on this . Is he going to fire either the secretary of state of the chief of staff tonight or this weekend . What actually is the decision point, what pushes him over the edge in terms of whether he trusts them or not. And in fact it is not their leadership of the institutions that theyre in charge of but its their Blind Loyalty and ability to express their loyalty to him. There are legitimate reasons to question whether Rex Tillerson is the person who should be leading the state department. I have a piece out this week that talks about a growing number of career foreign and Civil Service officers who no longer feel that they can serve in this administration because their voices arent heard, because they dont have a seat at the table and because frankly this administration puts no trust in diplomacy. Now that is a legitimate knock on this secretary of state. That doesnt seem to bother the president. What does is maybe something that was said that was disrespectful of him in an offhanded comment. Let me stay with you on one question. Representing the government of ghana or any government, do i think the secretary of state is the person i need to get ahold of . Does he have anything to do with anything . Repeatedly this president undercut the credibility of his own secretary of state. And the ability, the leverage that any secretary of state in any administration has is the belief of people outside the United States that he speaks for the president. If i were a leader or a diplomat outside of the United States now, i would not have that trust. The other trust that Rex Tillerson has lost is the trust of the institution that he leads. You know, you dont show up to a department and before you basically have even found your way around propose cutting a third of it before you even understand how it works, but thats what he did. I know. So when you lose that trust both above and below, i dont know how you can credibly do your job anymore. Joy, let me go back to my wheel house, that is this president s ethnic look at history. This president doesnt want to admit that his predecessor was barack obama. He wants to erase his face, his name, his origin, everything from the history books. Hes proven it over and over again. Its not a joke to think that one of the chief reasons he wants to desecertify the irania nuclear deal is that it works, it is a success, just like obama is a success, like his whole life has been a success. He must be erased, just like obamacare, the First SuccessfulHealth Care Program weve had in this country since Teddy Roosevelt talked it up. So he must destroy his legacy. Th is that the cardinal reason this president keeps going back to a deal is working, its restraining Nuclear Problem so we dont have to contend with two at the same time. We can focus on north korea. Why would he want a twofront war except out of weird weird bitterness toward the success of barack obama . And that his own am i right . I dont know. Check me. I think you are. I think that were constantly working through the psychology of donald j. Trump. He didnt making decisions based on policy. Hes making decisions based on psychology and his obsession with barack obama. His obsession with outdoing and surpassing barack obama. Hes angry that barack obama had the respect of the world. So hes crashing through the world, ripping up agreements that obama had anything to do with. There is no objective reason for him to decertify the iran deal. No reason to do it other than Barack Obamas name is on it, he negotiated it, therefore it has to die. And theres a part of Donald Trumps base that feels the same way, that feels that his job is to erase the memory of barack obama. But the problem with this approach to Foreign Policy is that its dangerous. Is that it not only impacts iran and our relationships there but our relationships with our european allies who helped negotiate this deal and, as weve been discussing, our stance toward north korea which is looking at what were doing with iran and asking ourself whether it makes sense to try to cut a deal or stand down from hostilities from the United States. Its incredibly dangerous. Well said. Everybody has a little vengeance in their heart. Im just checking you with this. Maybe im wrong. Remember the White House Press dinn dinner. Oh yeah. And trump was made a fool of. Obama gave it to him good. That motivated him to run. And i wonder whether this is bigger than the moron line. Moron is fresher. But obama, his satire was much more brutal, i thought. And most of trumps policy is driven by domestic politics and by this president s own ego. And so shes right, anything that obama did thats considered a legacy accomplishment, he wants it gone. Its the same thing with the paris agreement, same thing this week with the power plant, repeal by the epa that were not talking about because it cant break into the news cycle, the contraception rule that the administration is scrapping today. Theres a lot of bluster im getting rid of this, this was a terrible deal, ill make a better deal. Often times his own advisers telling him to stay in the iran deal, these things matter, theyve urged him to stay in this too and hes not listening to his own advisers on a lot of these things. But the bluster sometimes obscures the fact that it takes three years to unwind the paris agreement. On the iran deal it goes to congress. Hes kicking it to congress and letting them decide what to do. Could be bluster leading to more bluster. The president s reported decision seems to be at odds with two of his Top National Security advisers. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson said he has a difference of opinion than the president. And here was james mattis just this week. Do you believe its in our National Security interest at this time to remain in the jocpa . Thats a yes or no question. Yes, senator, i do. If we can confirm that iran is living by the agreement, if we can determine that this is in our best interest, then clearly we should stay with it. I believe at this point in time, absent indications to the contrary, it is something the president should consider staying with. Nick, why would the president want to bring down the iranian deal. Seems like he cant do it under the procedure at hand here. But he wants to. What is he thinking . I mean weve seen this with obamacare on the home front when they dont have anything to replace it with. And in this case Everybody Knows the only thing stopping the iranians is the fact that weve opened up trade with them again and they would rather have that than five more years in the coming years to developing a Nuclear Weapon. We get rid of that incentive, whats to stop them in. Theres nothing to stop them. And frankly the people who negotiated this deal are aware that it is not the perfect deal that President Trump has said he seeks. You know, iran creates a lot of trouble and is a threat to National Security in many ways. They Fund Terrorism in the region where they are a threat to israel, they repress the rights of people within their country. The iran deal is not meant to fix those things. It is meant to restrain iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon and by every measure it has for the last two years succeeded. So the burden is on this administration to say if all of the experts say that iran is complying with the deal and our allies say please stay in the deal, why are we pulling out . The only explanation i can come up with, in addition to the ego issues that youve raised, is this is an administration that has a fundamentally different view of americas role in the world. And they believe in a zero sum game where if the rest of the world wants it must be bad for america. And that is misguided. American leadership is predicated on the idea that we go out, we lead in the world and we persuade others to tackle problems we cant fix on our own. I dont think this administration at the top believes that. He also said he was against stupid wars. And i think going to war with iran is not a good idea. What time is your show on tomorrow . 10 00 a. M. Eastern. On this network right here. Hold that dial. Thank you. Joy, youre the best in the business. Thank you. Well she will be if she isnt already. Eli, thank you, and nick, thank you. Must have been great working with samantha. Take a look at the crowd steve bannon is pushing right now for public office. Mr. Ten commandments, roy moore of alabama, michael grim of Staten Island and kelly ward. Shes a piece of work. She called John Mick Cain weak and old and said he should retire so she could have his seat in the senate. As the death toll climbs in puerto rico, theres no criticism that President Trump hasnt a clue how to handle the disaster. Remember this bombshell news that dropped just one year ago. Im automatically attracted to beautiful women. I just start kissing them. Like a mag not. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. When youre a star they let you do it. Maybe he did actually. The access Hollywood Tape of donald trump was unearthed a year ago tomorrow. The same day wikileaks dumped John Podestas emails and i think the russians had something to do with that. Finally let me finish with trump watch. This is hardball where the action is.

After leaving his job, steve bannon told the economist magazine that at the white house he had influence but at breitbart he has power. Since roy moores victory in alabama, bannon has been hand picking and candidates loyal to the breitbart land. This week he recruited michael gr grimm, the convicted felon from Staten Island, new york tweeting this photo. Grimm joins an already growing list of disruptive candidates in bannons brigade including kelly ward running against jeff flake in arizona. While in the Arizona State legislature she tried to outlaw enforcement of gun laws. Last year she called john mccain old and weak and this past july after senator mccain was diagnosed with brain cancer she called on him to step aside as quickly as possible and give her his senate seat. She said it outloud. Im joined now. Thank you gentlemen. I want to start with you. What a rose gallery this guy is putting together. Its the land of broken toys. You know, steve bannon said that he was going to be a killing machine. And he is. The thing hes killing is the Republican Party and conservatism. These guys can lose generals in red states like arizona, cant they in. You cant lose in a place like alabama. You could wind up loses races in arizona. But even if they win the seats, theyre making this the party of roy moore, the party of michael grimm. Youve got a guy who doesnt believe in the constitution. You got a guy threatening to throw reporters off of a balcony and this becomes maybe thats the slo the republicans will want to adopt now. But it creates a long term problem for them even if it doesnt cause a disaster in the near term. I dont know what to say. Flake seems like an all right candidate. But maybe hes too thin. I dont know. But kelly ward, oh my god. Flakes Approval Rating has been terrible. Hes vulnerable. He came on this show attacking trump but on the book. The minute he said in that chair he wouldnt do it. He wouldnt do whats in the book. He wouldnt do his own book. I didnt think that was ballsy. That was a problem. Clearly certain that a lot of people who vote in arizona arent reading the book. Flake is making an argument that the Republican Party is no longer conservative and steve bannon is trying to make sure its not establishment conservative. He has declared war on the establishment of the Republican Party, on the establishment of the country and he wants to destroy what exists. If that means he needs to support a felon like michael grimm, the former congress, hell do that, if its kelly ward who has attacked john mccain, hell do that and if its roy moore who was just up in washington and apparently didnt really have a plan for what he wants to do when he gets there. Any shutout is good enough for him. Anybody who has been excluded. Absolutely. Thats a debate. Not the end of the world. A debate. But thats what hes known for. This kelly ward is known for being an awful person and the other guy is known for being a felon, a tax cheat who wants to write tax law. How do you get that guy in the congress . Even Staten Island is a rough area but its not that tough. Its not reiikers island. Whats the point . The point is you have to have the most pure guy in the room. Pure what . A pure nationalist. Tax chiefs are they conservatives . Steve bannon thought he could create a populous nationalist movement, these guys would come over from the left, the Blue Collar Union guys. It hasnt happened. Its been a small group. Instead hes becoming a more pure circle with exotic candidates. Could this bring down the republican leadership, this rock and roll effort to bring down these particular seats . Im looking at mcconnell, Mitch Mcconnell seems to have no support in the world. Its wobbly to the point its going to fall. It reminds me of the british party. Teresa may is falling. You saw these guys come in in 2010. John boehner fell after that, had to leave the congress. Paul ryan has had his struggles. And Mitch Mcconnell has an incredibly low Approval Rating as well. I dont know that theres an imminent threat to Mitch Mcconnell but his ability to get things done in the senate is totally compromised by roy moore coming . Mcconnell is very unpopular nationally but where he has a lot of popularity is among the 51 republicans in the senate. Theres no threat to him right now. Ted cruz is not going to be the Senate Majority leader. But what it does it denies mcconnell the votes to get anything passed. Moore in effect of governing in washington and more dysfunction. Well one thing you notice is that the latest polling shows the democrats are within the margin nationally to win the Congress Next time. You never know how its going to translate, how its going to crosswalk to actual seats but theyve got a margin of double digit. They can do it. And the question is will this make it easy are for the democrats to win. This coming apart of the Republican Party. You have to look at it race by race and i think were going to have to look a lot closer to the election to see where these unconventional candidates whereby where have they won the primaries or lost the primaries. One of the things that weve learned over time is in a lot of the districts it doesnt matter. The r d matters more thafr the flavor. And the democrats never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. That will be working against them and the deck is stacked against them in the house because of gerrymandering and in the senate because of the i think the Democratic Party the moving left. We know that for better or worse we dont know. But it seems to be moving reasonably left. It seems to be moving over slowly. The Republican Party seems to be creeky and getting into real trouble. Thank you. Youre very sirius tonight. Up next, President Trump continues to praise his administrations response. Hes praising his administrations response to the devastation in puerto rico. Our next guest says that trump has no idea what hes doing out there and that his handling of the situation should worry every american. Wow. This is hardball where the action is. Hi, im here in the msnbc newsroom. The body of a fourth u. S. Soldier has been recovered according to the pentagon. The special forces were on a routine patrol when they were ambushed on wednesday. And then watch this. The Worlds LargestPassenger Airline having a rough landing here in germany. The emirates pilot was able to safely land that plane. New orleans is under mandatory evacuations for another possible hurricane. Tropical storm nate could gain strength before hitting the gulf coast. For now back to hardball. We are also praying for the people of puerto rico. We love puerto rico. We love you and we also love puerto rico. And were marshaling every federal resource at our disposal. Welcome back. That was President Trump of course today once again praising. Federal response to the dave station in puerto rico. His comments come as puerto ricos governor announced the storm related death toll out there has risen to 36. 90 of the island is still without power and just about half of the island has not got drinking water. Vice president pence traveled to the island today to survey the damage. The president made his own trip to puerto rico on tuesday including a stop where he strangely tossed rolls of paper towels into the crowd. It was a great trip and a beautiful place. Every death is a horror. But if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died what is your death count as of this moment . 16 people. 16 people versus in the thousands. You can be very proud. Now i hate to tell you, puerto rico, but youve thrown our budget a little out of whack because weve spent a lot of money on puerto rico and thats find. Weve saved a lot of lives. For more im joined with the former director at usaid. You know, these numbers being brought out there, 15,000 u. S. Personnel from the federal government and yet vi the sense its incoherent. Theres in hierarchy, no general patton leading the assault, coordinating everything in terms of water, electric emergencnerg. Who is the boss . Is there a person . The governor of the state will be leading in support. Whos the boss . The governor . If you listen to fema talk they will say were working with the governor, were supporting the governors request. The challenge in this environment of course is puerto ricos Emergency Management capacities were badly damaged by the storm. And so fema is having to do a lot more of the heavy lifting on their own. And one of the most challenging things when youre in federal government is doing something that your agency wasnt built to do. Thats where the role of the president is important in ensuring that all of the tools that are needed for a big response come in. And if you had a real can do president running the United States government, would they go down there and pick someone to run the show from a war room in a modern way like you fight a war or a way you run an investigation in the Russian Investigation . That seems coordinated. This doesnt. One of the concerns is when you have this big of a response, this many parts of the federal government pulling together, you need higher level political attention to coordinate the different pieces. I sympathize with thee fema administrator. Thats tough to do. I admit this is outside and its horrible. Im not looking for blame but it bugs me that we cant get the job done. I remember haley barber in mississippi, the people rebuild fast along the coastline. I look at jeb bush in florida with andrew. That seemed to get done. He was reelected for that. People liked it. This seems more like louisiana, seems more like katrina and they bumped their governor there. Yeah. This is a certainly the toughest domestic response since katrina. I point to a couple of things. First, it is a very difficult response from a technical response. Its a tough response. But its nothing that we havent faced somewhere in the world before. Lets start with water. Water comes in bottles. Why have they had such a hard time getting them to the rural areas . Are the roads cut off by the trees falling down or the drivers dont show up to work . Whats going on. Why isnt the water getting delivered . Sure. The overland road blockages have been a problem but whats big to me is why they didnt go bigger on air lift much sooner. In the haiti response in 2010 after the earthquake or the philippines typhoon, we didnt wait for the roads to be cleared before we could get to the affected areas. We brought in loads and loads of helicopters, 66 d. O. D. Helicopter to the philippines, 300 d. O. D. Helicopters to haiti in 2010 and went over the roads. And theyre starting to do that now. Theyve gotten more helicopters in but its been very slow in coming. What about electricity in. Electricity is going to be very tough. Why is that hard . What was blown apart . The generators . Is it hydraulic or gasoline . Diesel . Whats powering the electricity there. Its a matter of the transmission lines as much as anything. The get the electrical grid up and running will entail rebuilding the electrical grid. What is needed is generators. Some have those, a lot of the hospitals have those but theyve been running into the logistics hurdles with getting the fuel to them because of the road blockages. Again as theyve gotten more helicopters in, that is starting to get better. Do you wish you were running the thing . Doesnt it get to you that it isnt working right and youre a pro at this . Theres also a twinge when something you want to be on the job, right . The men and women of fema are very very capable. I think the challenge is the question in my mind, have they had access to the full scale of tools that they need should trump be more on this . Absolutely. Thank you, jeremy. Its been one year since the access Hollywood Tape. Remember that baby. Was released. Billy bush got in trouble for this, not the president. And the chaos hasnt let up. Well get to the hardball round table. Why did that scene start endless trouble in this country. Even your toaster is thinking. Honey, clive owens in our kitchen. Im leaving. Oh nevermind, hes leaving. But what if a business could turn all that thinking. Thinking. Endless thinking into doing. To make better decisions. Make a difference. Make the future. Not next week while you think about it a little more. But right now. Is there a company that can help you do all that . i can think of one. Has grown into an enterprise. Thats why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. Now, im earning unlimited 2 cash back on every purchase i make. Everything. Whats in your wallet . If you have moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis or crohns, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. If other treatments havent worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohns. Entyvio works by focusing right in the gitract to help control damaging inflammation and is clinically proven to begin helping many patients achieve both symptom relief as well as remission. Infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. Entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. While not reported with entyvio, pml, a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flulike symptoms, or sores. Liver problems can occur with entyvio. If your uc or crohns medication isnt working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. Entyvio. Relief and remission within reach. Hungry eyes one look at you and i cant disguise ive got hungry eyes applebees 2 for 20. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood. Now what . Well, after your first reaction, consider your choices. Go it alone, against the irs and its massive resources. Hire a law firm, where youre not a priority. Call your cpa, who can be required to testify against you. Or, call the tax law firm of moskowitz, llp. I went from being a cpa to a tax attorney because our clients needed more. Call us, and let us put our 30 years of tax experience to work for you. Welcome back to hardball. Almost a year ago today, actually on friday, october 7th, 2016, a slow friday afternoon turned into one of the biggest news days of the 2016 election when the Washington Post published the now infamous access Hollywood Video of President Trump. Im automatically attracted to beautiful women. I just start kissing them. Like a magnet. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. We got the drift. Lets bring in tonights hardball round table. Libby, youre a woman. I am. Thank you. The only one at the table right now so weve got to go to you first. Why didnt women just say this guy is a pig . I think there was an instant recoil. But i remember talking to suburban philadelphia voters a few days after this, after the debate, this was friday, there was a sunday night debate. Now President Trump got through the debate and they had normalized it in their minds. I thought this would be a game changer. Tell me what that word means. His team said it was locker room talk, said this isnt a sunday schoolteacher. I remember a question in the debate he pivoted from isis coming out of a question about the tape. And when i talk to these voters, these are catholic white, well to do suburban voters, you know these people and they say i care about the supreme court, im a catholic voter and i hate Hillary Clinton. There was so much other news that weekend, that muddled the story. When i heard that Reince Priebus called him up saying youve got to get out of the race hes an old style politician. A decent man. Get out of the race. Youre an awful person shouldnt be running for president. This is what i experienced with the ohio voters that i talked to at the time. Theres offensive women at a club. And women listen to music that sometimes say bad things about women. How can you dance to this. Hes not talking about me. Hes talking about the kind of women that throw themselves at donald trump. Thats not me. Hes not talking about women like me. Brilliantly discriminatory. In other words i can vote for this guy. Exactly. The people who did vote for him, again a minority of the population wanted to vote for him. They knew that he was a jerk, his massageny was also well known, the fact that he screwed contractors how about the bills not loyal to the truth. Why did they because they thought he was echoing the reesentment and anger. Sometimes they want to say things that are unacceptable. He got away with it. There was a lot of that. And so these will people that want to vote for him. When this happens they spend a few days recoiling. But it happened again and again throughout the campaign. Every time he did something that seemed to be unacceptable, his numbers dropped but within three, four, five days, the Republican Voters started coming back to him. We lived through watergate and we realized the thing that nobody like to admit, it had no impact on the election. The cbs team was all over it that year and nobody cared. They didnt think he was the right guy, too far left. Nixon was fine. They went to russia and china. And they ignored it. The same day this news broke, it wasnt the only news. Around 3 30 that day the u. S. Intelligence committee announced that they were confident that the russian government directed the recent compromise of emails from persons including the u. S. Political organizations. They knew it then. That access Hollywood Tape was released at 4 00. At 4 30 wikileaks leaked John Podestas emails went out. All of that stuff that had the historic information in it didnt have much of an impact either. My colleagues called that russian interference the crime of the century and it just got buried. But the people heard it. Why didnt they care . Because that tape was so electric and so shocking in its nature that that is what people took away. Those same philadelphia voters, when they heard this podesta leaks hillary, what they took away from that was Hillary Clinton emails. They werent listening. Another reference to hillarys emails. Thats all that mat ters. The amazing thing is those three stories, the president admitting to be a criminal. Because of what he said. Because of what he said, grabbing women by their private parts. And a Russian Foreign adversary for the first time the government saying theyre messing with our election and what was the impact, the podesta emai emails, 60,000 of them. Not one of them was scandalous. Nothing about breaking the law catholic stuff in there. One or two people not connected to the campaign saying things. So that at the end of the day, because of this connection, it reinforced the idea of Hillary Clinton and emails being shifty, that had the impact. Everything you say is what i heard from my brother. When he went out to vote for hilla hillary, he called me at 8 30 that morning saying ive never seen so many people with walkers at the voting. Older people had gotten up in their old age, all prolife catholi catholics. And that thing he said to me that women must be punished for abortion, that probably helped him with these people. It sent the message. Athink in a lot of respects so bizarre. For your average voter as we well, it was offsetting penalties. If you hated trump, this is the evidence that you yelled at your brother and cousin. If you hated hillary, here we go more emails.

But the fbi has decided that that the knew most dangerous terrorist group are black identity extremists, a group of africanamericans prone to violence due to police brutality. They say theyre the Largest Group is in california, giving the doj an opportunity to engage in antiterrorism behavior. Do they exist . No, they dont. I had to ask. You know this, two days ago, richard burr, senator of the head of Intelligence Committee came out and say the russian facebook ads, we cant tell who they were supporting, they were indiscriminate. I did an interview with senator ron wyden who presumably has seen some of the russian facebook ads saying burr is wrong. They did show favoritism for one candidate and thats why he said the ads need to be released. Why is burr covering for trump . Hes in a difficult position. Hes leading the investigation that trump calls a hoax. I think he tries to spend things to help trump. When weapon return, let me finish tonight with trump watch.

You could call donald trump a bull in a china shop but that doesnt quite get it because wherever he goes, theres confusion and chaos. So this president is a bull who brings his china shop wherever he happens to be headed that day and this is the week we cannot forget that began with horror, the shooting out in vegas and yet everything seems to be suspended in time right now, las vegas, hurricane harvey, the devastation in puerto rico and in front of it all is the president performing, throwing rolls 0 paper towels in the air as if the people of the island needed some little circus performed by the president to excite them. Then it was off to las vegas, the president once again in the midst of a china shop. This time the secretary of state calling him amoron. Then on top of the buffoonery, the president declares hes desecertifying the iranian nuclr deal, like he has a better way presumably. Watching the trump circus this week weve been distracted again and again from the carriage on the vegas strip but not distracted enough to relieve the real life tragedy of it all.
