Ive done nothing wrong, you should apologize, im not a racist is so insulting and so missing the larger point that he should not have to have explained to him. >> to coddle the reputations of segregationist, if people who had their way i would literally not be standing here as a member of the united states senate is, i think -- is just misinformed and its wrong. >> i dont think that you should be bragging about working on a bipartisan basis with segregationist. >> when you hear that from someone...

He considers certain things a resource that he has worked across the aisle, thats what he was saying. >> so some air cover there from the speaker for joe biden. and, craig, think to the degree this has legs, it could come in that back and forth between joe biden and senator booker. its not a great look for a white candidate to tell a black candidate what he should or should not be offended about on the issues of race. i dont have any indication that booker wants to continue this fight right now,...

That he did that, i dont know it was smart for him to say cory booker should apologize to me or that it was appropriate. but i do think that joe biden has realized hes not going to get elected president unless he shows strength. i think he fundamentally believes he didnt say anything wrong because he was trying to make the point these guys were bad guys, but i still won. i still beat them. i still got the legislation across the finish line that i ran through the senate to try to get done. >> sen...

Numbers are starting to diminish for joe biden. and hes going to be there this weekend along with 21 other democrats. whats interesting about the vice presidents team is really focusing on this debate at the moment. they know that this is a moment where, you know, folks gave him a good look in the rollout. he largely passed the test. but his performance is going to be so critical. he is spending a lot of time reading memos, doing briefings with his staff. we saw him for the first time today spea...

They had a chance to cement this relationship at a time when they really need an ally. so the chance to convince president trump that he is part of this larger history, to show him through pageantry that he is part of a line of leaders that have been taking the center on the global stage, hopefully for them when things get stuff and they are trying to negotiate that trade deal down the line they will have this foundation, but in terms of substance, this was never going to produce a lot of substa...

Negotiation face-to-face. the iranians have made it clear they are not particularly interested in that, but this is the president really trying to pull back it seems a little on that rhetoric, saying that everything is possible, but that is not his first priority. a bit of a push back also on his national security adviser john bolton who has been with him this week in the united kingdom. >> yeah, thats a good point, abby. thank you so much for being there. youve done a great job covering this of...

Mexico, a strategy with china, north korea, but as you say, matt, what you havent seen are hard results from that strategy. i want errol louis to talk about climate change. weve heard this before and we have a tendency to get numbed to these kinds of statements. here is a sitting american president denying climate science, claiming somehow that the data is going back and forth when it is not. its consistent, global temperatures are rising, we have for decades. >> and its not weather, by the way....

Would be the crowning glory of his presidency. what advisers have convinced him that he can do if they do this two-pronged tough strategy. but advisers do tell me that he understands that hes got to threaten force and threaten a large use of force, like massive troops, to get iran to take them seriously. >> except here is the thing, matt, i mean, to get a better deal than jcpoa hes going to need to convince all the other signatories, our allies like the uk, for example, with theresa may pointed ...

House. good coverage. good of you to sneak that one in here. >> carl holtz with the "new york times," matt visor. he says i cooperate, i always cooperate, which we could debate that. this statement from the white house press secretary. chairman nadler and his fellow democrats have embarked on this fishing expedition because theyre terrified that their two-year false narrative of russia collusion is crumbling. their intimidation and abuse of american citizens is shameful. democrats are harassing ...

Official candidates. i noek to fispoke to five. each thing that donald trump is actually very much beatable. the heart part according to all of them is different rating their respected candidate from the best of the chient of democratic field. >> joining me now is our washington post national reporter, and our beth ftouhi. differentiating yourself from the crowds. matt, you were with klobachar, she stood in front of a ridge in minnesota that she helped he built. she says that her seawamall bal a...
