They have controlled both chambers of congress and the white house. so the lack of agenda is something that the party and the president own. so i think democrats are, in turn, recognizing that there is some dense of fatigue among voters around a closing argument or even just a campaign strategy thats not rooted in substance but perpetuating claims that are intended to drive voters to the polls out of fear. i also think that its worth pointing out that democrats have an opportunity in these midte...

Believe hes a racist. >> thats a pretty good line. >> it is. and i think the fact of the fatter is, the president is pretty much operating off the same playbook he did in 2016 where essential to his strategy, to enflame racial divisions and stoke fear around immigrants and people of color, and its striking thats a closing argument for republicans where they have controlled both chambers of congress and the white house. so the lack of agenda is something that the party and the president own. so i...

Packages. we simply dont know and are waiting for law enforcement to tell us. and one thing, brian, i think is worth pointing out. you played that clip at the beginning of this segment about the president saying its time for people in the political arena to stop demonizing their opponents. talking about them as morally deficient. this is a president who campaigned for the better part of two years by calling his political opponent crooked, crooked hillary. perhaps hell follow his own counsel. but...

Impossible, genuinely impossible to say he has not weaponized this sort of political intolerance. when you say enemy of the people repeatedly, when you say enemy of the people who oppose brett kavanaughs confirmation, both sides say nasty things about one another in a political context. you are talking about moral judgments. and a reminder, i heard this in the last panel. donald trump can say all he wants. you know, im giving a speech. people understand that. does he know that? does he know that...

It could be someone who is trying to get the democratic vote out and incur sympathy. it could go either way. >> melissa: thats interesting point. >> harris: thats why we always caution against that speculative -- and i understand why investigators say "we want to start, end of arrows are pointing in one direction, follow that." but they could be the same facts for different reasons, as youre pointing out. >> correct. the investigation will reveal much of their thinking. when they do their press ...

Internal memo last month that the party had, quote, lost the messaging battle, pointing to a private survey showing respondents by a two to one margin think it benefits wealthy. so it seems the president is responding to this reality, the republican failure to sell this tax cut as a middle-class tax cut. >> which is fascinating because republicans have been campaigning on almost exclusively this issue for years. the one place we are actually in agreement on is that the suburbs are looking very b...

We have folks crossing legally. $1.6 billion in trade every day. you cant seal the border. >> you point out in an article you have written recently for 27 states mexicos the first or the second largest destination for exports. so, you know, we do sort of miss the point. the presidents pointing -- is characterizing the mexican border for migrants to come in and so much more happens there. >> thats exactly right. it is the life blood of those 27 states for whom its the first or second export desti...

Now. you rather. well you can. i. ask of with hello i always get the feeling that shes pointing to the music not her own suffering or difficulties or her own personality or personal story she says and as for her the focus is on the music. as if she takes the focus off of her self and puts a spotlight on the content of the music by thats really a very modern approach it was easy this is i think in a zero down to dank eyes

Benefits and a lot of detriments. >> the president is blaming democrats for immigration policies. pointing to the caravan, you heard me speak with mariana hortensio about the migrants heading for the u.s. border. president won with similar immigration rhetoric in 2016. do you think hes more in touch with americans on this issue than democrats? >> lets go back to 2013, when a bipartisan bill with 60 votes passed the senate. it was a tough bill. it had more than 19,000 border patrol agents, it had...

Getting too much bad press? >> im not sure. i just think the white house found itself finally in a place yesterday where there was an overwhelming amount of media attention, overwhelming amount of intelligence pointing in one direction, and they realized they had to start to head in that way or it would continue to be a bigger problem for them. >> and to drop the rogue killers. thank you for spending time with us. from body slams and f-bombs, brand new reporting about the fire works inside the w...
