Apologized. theyve issues retraction. one thing weve never heard from this white house or this president is an apology. each as he has used hostile rhetoric. each as he has conspiracy theories, he has put out continue with us falsehoods. so his approach is what he has always done, which is double down and be more aggressive. i think thats whats guiding his response and contributed to this environment. >> what did you think of that contrast in. >> were trying to apology eyes for what the presiden...

New york where andrew cuomo has deployed the national guard and the hunt is on for a terrorist. >> this is not the same thing from 50-100 years ago. new york city cops in 2018 or has to do far more than our predecessors. >> warning civilians to be on high alert, saying they do not know how long this will last. none of the explosives reach their intended target, but several were handed by civilian civilians. and police are warning that any package that has protruding wires, and odd smell, or an o...

Conversation, in the end, the one person in this conversation who st doing something unlike any of his predecessors ever did is president trump and president trump is the person who rather than seeking and in many presid in the past have sought in flawed ways but their goal has been to unify, pull the country together as opposed to driving the country apart. president trump has never done that. his attitude its in his political interest to divide people and stoke these fires. its most incumbent ...

That question, what do you think, youve watched this president on a day-to-day basis. >> reporter: one can always hope, wolf, i mean, its another reminder of how isolated this president is from his predecessors as well. you didnt hear him mention them by name. im not sure if there were phone calls behind the scenes to the previous presidents, and if there were, i believe now would have been a good time to make that known. at this point in a presidency, you typically at least see a few opportunit...

When you think of the great leaders we had from both political parties, i call to mind abraham lincoln, the better angels of our nature. appealing to the best of us. george w. bush after 9/11 looking at the camera and saying this isnt about someone who worships islam. these were the moments. the president, no way. he did read his statement off the teleprompter. it reminds me of all the things hes done in the past that he never wanted to do. this is a guy who stands in front of the helicopter and...

Your cutting taxes is killing me. then it becomes ive got to defend my life by attacking you and thats not healthy for a republican. >> let me bring in my washington, d.c. analysts today. michael steele, former rnc chairman and msnbc political analyst. michael steel, the thing that caught me, by mild surprise from senator cruz, and hes not the only one, is the hesitance to say that the president needs to take a leave here. >> yes, yes. >> what did you make of that? >> again, it was just more of ...

Not a single one of them has a hard time drawing a direct line between donald trumps rhetoric about journalists. and hes been doing it since he was 1 of 17. hes called out katie tur, chuck todd. our colleagues, your colleagues. is there anyone in the presidents circle who sees any relationship between the things that come out of his mouth or fingers and the things that happen in the world, or are they all oblivious? >> they talk about the things he says to a certain extent not mattering. but i t...

Appears to have inspired at least in part by a report on fox news. included attacks on democrats, immigrants and foreign countries. thats the media-run state for you once again." peter, there are so many examples of this and julies piece today is fantastic at diagramming where this started, where it went when donald trump started tweeting about it and just to pick up on jonathans point, how the government, how the state, tried to make this fox-inspired conspiracy theory true. >> well, thats exac...

Like this, of course its being blown out of proportion. howie: most of people, including myself, had not heard of jamal khashoggi. he was a saudi citizen living in virginia. he has now in death become a symbol of the way president trump is handling this and a symbol of the saudi authoritarian approach. every past administration it seems to me for decades has overlooked the saudis terrible human rights record. the mistreatment of women. most of of the 9/11 hijackers were saudis. is there a possib...

Treaty, brokering peace between israel and egypt, awakening americans to the energy challeng challenges, and pushing the world on human rights. >> he was able to push through an awful lot of legislation. very limit of which is remembered, but much of which changed the country from cleaning up toxic waste sites, deregulating airlines in trucking, which contributed eventually to lower air fares. >> deregulation of oil and gas. we now have huge amounts of natural gas. that changed the whole energy ...
