win and sort of a good win is sometimes 10,000 votes. i want to put something up here. in 2006, 14 seats that democrats picked up were decided by 10,000 votes or less. in 2010, 16 seats that the republicans picked up were decided by 10,000 votes or less. so you only need a slice of those republican voters, suburban voters that they need to get chicken there when it comes to pelosi. nancy pelosi is an easy target and it s easy when you re campaigning as a nominee or candidate to say you would vote against nancy pelosi. when you get to d.c. and talk to nancy pelosi and talk to the people around the congress and realize that she s usually one of the only women in these high-level meetings, you realize that as the democratic party talks about wanting diversity, she is part of that diversity. of course she s in a tough place because there are so many democratic sources who say they re eager for fresh blood. you re l
versus them friends, if you don t like what america is, you leave. america does not need to become great again. she will only become greater by being more of what she already is. thank you for watching the show and getting after it with me again on my birthday. cnn tonight with don lemon starts right now. enlisting the truth. that s what i m going to do at the very top of this show. so i want the audience to bear with me. what you were talking about, that term, chain migration used as a negative, making people think you can just bring everybody in. it s called family reunification is what it is. i think the hypocrisy of the president and the administration to speak horribly about family reunification when the first lady did the same thing. really unbelievable. two of his wives. yeah. two of the three came into the country this way, visas he wants to limit.
people he says are unworthy. his own in-laws. we grew up in the same place, don. it s all immigrants. unbelievable.
individuals we disagree with. we live in a constitutional republic. we are supposed to have equal justice under the law and the equal application of our laws. tonight in the united states this is all in jeopardy. after more than 15 months of intensive investigations surrounding one man, the president of the united states, more and more americans rightly are realizing that mueller s seemingly never ending witch hunt is not only damaging the country, but it is rocking our system of justice to its very core. and following the new york times s so-called bombshell report that the white house attorney, the president s attorney, white house counsel don mcginnis, the president tweeted this disgrace discredited bob mueller and as whole group of angry democratic thugs spent over 30 hours with the white house counsel, only with my approval, for the purposes of transparency. anybody needing that much time when they know there is no

A recap of the day s news.
firing. he was there shoaleder to shoulder he doesn t know what mueller knows. it seems implausible to me that he doesn t provide factual material that s illuminating about the president s state of mind. so i think raeurlts little bit over confident to be saying that at this point. but the real question is why would trump s lawyers not debrief mcgahn? the white house counsel has given 30 hours of interviews. much of which the trump legal team is in the dark with. it s like a book on tape, isn t it? that s a lot of testimony. the white house got nothing out of this in return for letting all of these people submit to interviews. you would have thought that they would have at least negotiated, been able to debrief everyone.
strategy? let s go back to the question of whether or not he incriminated the president. the president seems not to understand that mcgahn is not his personal lawyer. so you think about the kinds of things that might have been toads
speaks perfect english. good morning, i m chris jansing in for stephanie ruhle. this morning, executive power. the president asserts he is, quote, totally out to be involved in the mueller investigation. even saying he could run it if he wanted to. but despite months of claims that he d sit down with the special counsel, he s now worried it could be a perjure trap. they simply don t have any evidence of collusion and they have no evidence of obstruction other than their version of the truth. going fishing. microsoft seizes control of websites created by russian hackers intended to look like conservative think tanks and the u.s. senate with the intent of stealing passwords and yet deny chuls of users. and courting support, documents on the supreme court nominee are released as judge kavanaugh heads to the hill.

msnbc. the security clearance has been revoked by president trump. steve: why did he do it? everybody is speculating. the president himself told the wall street journal last night that the president holds john brennan among those responsible for launching the whole russia trump colluded business which, of course, the president denied. keep in mind and we have heard about this a couple of times. it was back in the summer of 2016, that guy, right there, who at the time was the cia director, went to harry reed whos was the top senator on the democratic side with the dossier. he showed him the dossier. harry reid wrote with a letter to james comey saying hey, the fbi has got to investigate. this and then the fbi did. so, in other words, it started with brennan. then harry reid and then james comey and that s how we got to where we are a number of investigative reporters like kimberly strossel say. brian: he is an inflammatory pundit who has a rich history in intelligence. and it made t
