Youre saying is the other challenge i think were seeing with republicans are women. you see republican women that are leaving the republican party in droves. what do we see on the front pages lately? the family separation issue. the family separation issue. if you ask suburban republican women, this disgusts you and you do not want to be affiliated with a party that supports that. . >> and we have republican women on the ballot losing in tough races. whatever happens, well have less women. >> ma...

Cant make fun of them. its too sensitive. in fact, you cant even call them chicks with [ bleep ] anymore. [ laughter ] no. no. you have to call them men who talk too much. [ laughter ] >> theres been so many dirty jokes so you cant do cliched [ bleep ] joke that everybody has heard before, cliche big pussy joke. you better do something fresh and new that nobodys ever talked about before. >> most women wont let their husbands watch when theyre going through a miscarriage. i sat my husband down in...

>> its hypocrisy of historical proportion. we have corruption in plain sight. whether it crosses the line of criminal culpability we will find out but this is a president who still has not released his tax returns. we assume there is exposure to people who could have leverage over him and he could settle that question today but refuses to do so. i think one of the things were seeing in the escalation of the presidents rhetoric is we are entering a window where hes under serious consideration as ...

Course, i think should be moderate conservatives. i am not a tea party member on our side. and i think the best governance is always from the center out. >> last night at that rally, it was hot, there was no air conditioning. packed into this gymnasium outside of columbus. the president brings up jim jordan to the stage. jim jordan, conservative republican house member who is embroiled in some controversy of his own. he is making a run for speaker or leadership of your party, as well. your react...

Foreign governments and not disclose those connections. so, if youre looking at manafort and his connection to the trump campaign, sure, there may not be actual conspiracy to c collude with foreign governments, let alone the russian government, but there is a possibility that manafort may have used his connections to kind of leverage the trump campaign in a better position during the 2016 election, and that is probably why they are going after him in this regard. there isnt any evidence right no...

The latest news from around the world with host Fredricka Whitfield.

In a very quick period of time. now we just heard the secretary of state say that the timing on denuclearization is up to kim jong-un, the leader of north korea. now, of course, literally, that is true. we cant make him specifically. we want him. we ostensibly have an agreement with him. but he has never said that he will denuclearize. and it appears that missile development and nuclear development is continuing. and the president has a very, very steep hill to climb. >> im going to put that quo...

>> so how might the heat be turned up on don jr. from the previous interactions hes had with this investigation so far? >> well, there are questions about testimony he gave to the senate -- to the congressional investigations. and, you know, you could have a subpoena issued to him. you could have a demand for an interview. so there are lots of ways the investigative temperature could go up. i agree with frank very much that the question of a presidential interview is a different question. and i ...

The president has been watching the reporting, he is getting more frustrate as of late, he is also worried that his son don jr. might be next in the crosshairs here. >> yeah, this is quite the scenario where perhaps family members including don jr. now criminally exposed and that is leverage that the mueller team could use against the president. and that plays out publicly as well. because the president may be very concerned not so much about the impact on his family as equally about what this l...

And maybe before. im a little surprised. i would have thought he would have said, you know, forget it. its been silly that team trump has been acting as if its got the leverage here and maybe theyll decide to sit down. as you say, the law is likely to be with mueller and he can just go to court. now it gets a little tricky if he really is inclined to wrap things up before the midterms, probably even a quick process in the courts would extend past november. but, look, i agree with joey hes an inv...
