Bill. we are human beings, trying to find a better life. obviously the president has been talking about this group of people. a lot of rhetoric coming from the administration. what impact does that have on the ground? >> well, its interesting, john. some are very aware. some actually have cell phones. most of these folks arent checking twitter or watching cnn. theyre some of the most impoverished, desperate souls in central america. i ask them about these questions and they shrug and say what ot...

Authority here. in return, hes being rewarded with a trip that will help him, presumab presumably, gin up republican support. thats why most polls think cruz will pull this out despite an impressive candidacy from beto orourke. >> we always see past political rivals come together and endorse each other, john mccain and george w. bush. it always happens. but when you see the president accusing ted cruzs father of being somehow connected to the kennedy assassination, jonathan martin, that really w...

Cannot keep their story straight. what he was trying to do was strike a remarkable balance, that he was frustrated, that the saudis were not telling the truth and at the same time he was saying mohammed bin salman, mbs, as he is known, believes that he deserves to be in charge, a strong leader, a leader that might not have known about it in advance, even though so many republican senators, lindsey graham, bob corker and the presidents visors believe it was premeditated at the order of the crown ...

Interview to you. he said, well, you know, it is what it is. the saudis have been lying to us all along. it does not change the way i feel about the saudi regime. >> the president went to extraordinary lengths to say it was clear this was done by the saudis but he was not clear if mbs himself, the crown prince, ordered it. the cia director, jean haskell, mike pompeo, come to you and describe this killing? he said no. he said maybe the crown prince knew he would be kidnapped or interrogated but h...

Saudis may be able to try to ask, does it prove premeditated murder or could it be premedicinetatipr premeditated rendition or some type of abduction? the saudis will neither confirm nor deny the use of a body double. >> remarkable reporting. thank you so much for delivering it to us. a bone saw, body double and a fake beard. if that doesnt add up to premeditation, i dont know what does. joining us now is "washington post" reporter who spoke to the president over the weekend about this case. j...

The majority solely on half of the playing field it doesnt leave them a lot of room to have things go wrong. i think what were seeing here is just this -- all of the divisions that have been building in american politics since the 1990s were accelerated and intensified in 2016. here they are, reaffirming and even deepening in 2018. it is possible we come out of this election with really, as i say, a thorough repudiation of trump and trumpism in many of the major metropolitan areas, losing white ...

Republican among college-educated white women, that is what is fueling the democratic opportunity in these inner suburban seats and the president is inextricably rooted in this. 90% of the people who approve will vote republican, 90% of the people who disapprove will vote. 85 to 87% historically over the past midterms, and it could be higher this year because feelings about him are so intense. you will have, i think, the potential for two very different elections, one simultaneously repudiating ...

Part of the cost of doing business if youre an elected official who wants to get close to trump. weve seen everyone who gets close to him at some point has to deal with something like that. if they want to go forward and win re-election, they have to swallow hard as i imagine that ted cruz and heidi cruz did. >> "game of thrones" version of the midterms, according to josh green. jonathan martin, josh, appreciate you being here. thank you. the so-called caravan of central american refugees head...

That relationship? >> the president said that they are two of the most important leaders in each country, two of the most important advisers, are simply young people who like each other and have spoken several times. there have been reports that other officials and secretary of state, national security council were not looped in and this was a bit of a rogue operation in the eyes of many in the government. this week youve seen something different. you havent seen jared kushner in the spotlight. ...

Part of the america, it seems to me, is poised to repudiate donald trump and another part of america is poised to reaffirm their commitment to him. quite a divide ahead. >> the way you framed it, ron, is so fascinating. the one that is poised to support president trump, are you saying that they have the margin advantage, the more enthusiasm, the noncollege educated whites? >> no. theyre both -- thats whats extraordinary about this election. you have enormous enthusiasm on both sides. look, democ...
