States of america after the the attacks of 9/11,turkey orders their flags at half mast. the condemnation across the nation were across the board except for saddam hussein. you have 1.2 billion muslims from around the world. the polls suggest that less than 10% were at all sympathetic to what happened on 9/11, 90% repudiated. >> theres a gallup poll that said only 7% of muslims thought that the attacks were completely justified, across the entire world. >> on "meet the press," he super doubled do...

Is a sign of weakness hes not been pun herbed for in the pass standing by assertions or not proven to be true. i think hes continuing to do what works. it is unfair to say were all obsessing what happened on a roof top 14 years ago. i think the reason it continues to be a story is its thoroughly debunked now and he continues to double down and quadruple down on it and the question broadly speaking not just with donald trump but all lot of candidatess can you get away with saying things that are ...

>> chuck, i do have evidence -- >> youre running for president of the united states. your words matter. truthfulness matters. fact based matters. >> chuck, chuck. take it easy, chuck. just play cool. >> trump is also under fresh fire for apeepearing to imitate disabled "new york times" reporter after the reporter questioned his 9/11 claims. trump denies he mocked that reporter and is demanding an an poll anapology for accusing him of doing so. michael steele and howard dean, gentlemen, thank you...

Assertions is that president obama was surprised at the strength of isis. youre in a position to know. is that true? >> there was so much accurate reporting coming out of all parts of our intelligence system and into the white house. to say that im surprised at the rise of this threat is really -- its a gross understatement as to what reality is. >> what about this manipulation, this reported manipulation of the data intel was being told we dont like it, fix it to compete more with the narrative...

Interested in local things. here you have petraeus who just turned around the iraq war, knows more about the threat than anybody at the time saying its a threat and you have obama who has nothing, simply restating his opinion, we have seen 7 years of that. gregg: let me quite on that specific incident. obama simply thought he knew better. his challenge wasnt based on facts but rather obama made a series of assertions based on nothing more than his long held conviction iraq was a distraction from...

Personal history, if you will, the autobiography, some of the questions that have been raised about the accuracy of some of those assertions in his story? >> well, i think that this is something, certainly, that donald trump has been talking about over the last couple of days. and ben carsons campaign, which has refused to cooperate with us since the beginning -- weve asked them to connect us to some of the victims and eyewitnesses in these incidents -- has said that, you know, the public has mo...

John leboutillier. and we have whittle it down. handicap it for me, john. >> we have a lot going on into tuesdays debate. as you reported at the top of the hour, we think huge ratings for donald trump on "saturday night live." huge, and ben carson under fire for his own biography, questionable assertions, which may in the short run help him. we know he raised 3.5 million last week, and i know how the right feels about when their candidate is under assault in the media, they really to that candid...

After assads enemies, and also they say going after isis. so its really hard to disaggregate. but it could be that russia is being targeted because theyve now become engaged in syria. >> i just keep thinking russian nationalism and vladimir putin and how he has been leading the band but hes also responding to russian resurgent nationalism. whats going to be the reaction of the russian people when they realize or decide that 200 of their people, their compatriots, have been shot on purpose, kille...

Paul singer and the koch brothers. politico learned that trump or his surrogates have sought to build rips, if not support from all three of those donors. calling into question the billionaire real estate showmans repeated assertions that because of his wealth, he has no use for major donors. were you reaching out for support and or money? >> we dont want any money. politico is so dishonest in so many different things. this politico website or whatever the hell they call it, they write about me....

In before. but i think the pressure is definitely higher because anything you say as a presidential candidate is slightly different. he was on hue huet this afternoon and said the cold open will be wild. i can tell you the cold open of the skit soon afterwards is going to make you laugh. so, you know, teasing this. donald trump loves this. hes so good at television here. its important but look. people want to know that hes a serious candidate, not necessarily a funny candidate so it is a fine li...
