question. he s so arrogant. and he s so snide. oh, you re asking me a question that he knows nothing about. i m sorry, play the clip again. the wall street journal is reporting that president trump pressed the president of ukraine eight times to work with rudy giuliani to informant joe biden s son. what do you know about those conversations? so you just gave me a report about a whistleblower complaint, none of which i ve seen. willie, i don t know where to start there. you just gave me a report and, again, she asked him a specific question of what do you know bethe conversation? he was there. yeah. he was listening in to the conversation and yet lied two times there. once at the u.n. saying i have work to do, i m busy and this was just second-hand knowledge. again, just shows the

last week it changed. and by the way, one poll one out of three republicans nfs one poll one out of three republicans support the inquiry. that s pretty significant. yeah. and that s the one that, you know, that s the number to look at. because in most of the polls, you know, most republicans are sticking with them and most republicans, as long as most republicans stick with him, i think most of our republican elected officials in their craven cowardice are going to stick with donald trump. but he was listing those stories from yesterday, a lot of them in the 4:00 hour. nicolle wallace was like a paper hanger trying to deal with all that breaking news. but, you know, interesting possibilities about about barr and pompeo. they re really two stories here. either they re both like all in
the inquiry into president trump. we know that secretary of state mike pompeo was listening in on that july phone call between president trump and ukraine s leader. i thought he didn t know about that? that s not what he said. attorney general william barr has been asking foreign officials to help discredit the mueller probe. we know rudy giuliani has been subpoenaed by the house to turn over documents related to his communications with the trump administration officials about ukraine. and we know president trump is trying to find out the identity of the whistleblower who made thecomplaint. somebody, joe, might want to explain to the president what the concept of the whistleblower is. you don t do that, but there s so many things that you don t do. and polls are showing that people, joe, maybe aren t feeling so comfortable with these latest revelations. you know, they re really not. unfortunately, they re not because the president yesterday
politics? it s easy for republicans to say don t agree with him about hae did in ukraine or i don t like what he said about adam schiff. but what it will take for republicans finally to say, as you and i and many others have said ro said, that there s something beyond politics here? this is a deeply disordered person and that s what s driving a lot of our politics. is there some red line that can finally be crossed where the republicans are going to get, where you and many of the other critics of the president are? i don t know, tom. it s a good question. i m not sure that there is. there s been so many red lines that have been crossed. you know, in the piece i talk about the psychology of accommodation. that s that people 2 1/2 years ago could never have envisioned themselves to be accolades of donald trump. that s how psychology works. my suspicion is that some line will be crossed, but it will cause the country to rise up. and even perhaps part of the base.
