Mitch M News Today

peaked and how much you pay in your everyday life will soon go up. donald trump goes under oath and refuses to answer moments. a marquee moment into the investigation into the former presidents finances. he faced questions from new yorks attorney and lawyers in the new york attorneys office. we know trump did what he says only mobsters do, pleaded the fifth. trump saying, under the advice of my counsel and the above reasons i decline to answer is the questions under the rights and pr...

Donald trumps tweets yesterday seemingly out of the blue, announcing a ban of transgender individuals from serving in any capacity in the military. >> north korea best not make any more threats. >> the president tweeting, quote, military solutions are now fully in place. locked and loaded. >> the very outdated filibuster rule must go. mitch m, go to 51 votes now. >> i did mitch, get to work. >> thats the president of the united states who tweeted out -- >> come on. >> that mocking tweet about ki...

To actually meet with russian president. >> thank you so much. we do have more breaking news. the president just launched a fresh attack against a security official who questioned his fitness for leadership. well get to that. the plus a fresh attack this morning on the leaders of congress. but mitch m, as the president calls him, how much longer will he stay quiet on this. plus a notorious white supremacist turns himself in facing fell felony charges. breaking this morning, you still have to go ...

Brinksmanship from the president, a republican president against republican leaders over a few issues. namely funding for the wall. >> yeah, i think thats exactly right as we keep our eyes focused on texas right now and hurricane harvey i think you can rate this mornings tweet storm a category 2 as it were, kind of going back to familiar opponents in mitch mcconnell as well as paul ryan. senator corker obviously on that list today as well. i think what you would hear from this white house the bo...

President of the united states is threatening his own party with a shut down of government? i mean, im almost tempted to say that paul ryan and mitch mcconnell should say, yeah, lets do that. well shut down the government and by the way, we wont send out social security checks on time and see who benefits from that one politically. >> he thinks that ryan and mcconnell will lose. thats the gamble. thats what his advisers are telling them. >> eugene, should ryan and mcconnell -- it just cracks me ...

Anyone in the senate republican leadership, any key republican members of the house they say this is a really bad idea. >> well, the fact of the matter is if you change the filly buster rule, if president obama and harry reed and nancy pelosi had changed it for legislation the country would look dramatically different because president obama would have been able to do everything he wanted to achieve and i think that would have been bad for the country. so i think the rule does play an important ...

But anyhow thats how we stand with the wall. then hes trying to make an enemy out of mcconnell and ryan, trying to distance himself from them. if things go south this fall if either theres a debt ceiling problem or the budget doesnt pass, or the wall funding is not there, or tax reform blows up, all of these potential failures trump wants to be as far away from that bomb as he can and be able to go around the country and say, its your fault, paul ryan, its your fault mitch mcconnell, you werent ...

Trump and leader mcconnell are vacationing in new jersey, or hanging out at mar-a-lago. what really matters is that these two men agree on 95% of the republican agenda. i dont think the fact that tweets or tactics or timing, none of that changes the fact that at the core, these two men are trying to achieve the same object ifs and i think the whole notion of this conflict threatening that agenda is overblown. >> well, you knowing but im not making it up when i do a dramatic reading right now of ...

Coming back to. i think when they come back in september, after labor day, they certainly have a very busy a plate, only 12 legislative days. but the fact that they agree on what the core objectives of that period should include, i think is the most important point. >> ryan, one of the things, bones of contention appears to be russian. broad pli speaking and specially the russia investigation. we understand the president had a phone call with mitch mcconnell, that phone call dealt with the russi...

He doesnt reach for his glasses, he starts tweeting. gene, weigh in on this for us. >> well, he was long a reputa e reputable, a highly respected journalist as bret says. so its probably the -- you know, what he testified to, what he reported is probably pretty good. now again we dont know, we havent seen the testimony. its probably in much greater detail than whats in the dossier. maybe some of the backing up -- some of the backup information was discussed. and again it may not be true. but hes...
