to do it in. a day. i watch. 2 this is news live from berlin and hong kong protesters gather for a mass pro-democracy rally tens of thousands braved heavy rain to take part in the protests the turnout is being closely watched as a gauge of public sentiment after more than 2 months of violent clashes are sending precisely stern warnings from beijing also coming out. funerals are being held for the victims of a deadly suicide bombing in the afghan capital kabul the blast targeted a wedding party killing dozens of people and injuring many the so-called islamic state is claiming responsibility. in this league of football goodman opened it season with a $5.00 to $1.00 pumping out sport to show that it s a serious contender for taking the championship title. unlike the local thanks for joining us we begin in hong kong where pro-democracy demonstrators are marching through the city center for a major rally it s the 11th consecutive weekend of protests you re seeing live pictures now as tens of thousands of brave heavy rain to join that demonstration organizers have planned a peaceful march to prove. they still have popular support despite mounting violence and growing warnings from the mainland chinese government protesters are demanding democratic elections and an independent investigation into what they say is police brutality against the protesters. joins us now from hong kong charlotte what can you tell us about what s going on right now. there really are huge numbers of people back on the streets today we haven t seen it turned out quite like this in several weeks people marching peacefully through the streets that is despite the fact that there has been absolutely to rent show rain through most of the day we re seeing those really quite impressive pictures of people carrying that umbrellas through the streets now this march started victoria park not too far from here it was an assembly was permitted by police but just the sheer numbers of people meant they weren t couldn t be contained within victoria park itself strad spread onto the streets so essentially this has now become a rally through the streets of hong kong. we ve seen mass rallies in hong kong before what special about today. the organizers if this event really wanted to stress that this needed to stay as peaceful as possible some protesters here felt that they had something of a point to prove that is because we ve seen weeks of violent clashes between police and demonstrators on the streets we also saw earlier this week those very violent images of protesters at hong kong at coors that was a scene that was wrong on by chinese state media is proof that these protests were violent and getting out of control beijing likening some of the those protesters to terrorists organizers now really want to prove that this as still has very broad public support that this is a peaceful demonstration and people are still willing to come out in spite of the rain in spite of that the tear gas and the rubber bullets that we ve seen in pause weeks and make that. and. there is no doubt a great deal of tension on those streets behind you how have the government authorities responded to this rally today. one of the key messages of this particular process is police not to be violent with protests as people here have said that piece of becoming increasingly heavy handed with the handling of protests is pointing in particular to the one young young woman who s i was ruptured cheering a confrontation with police now police have recently put out a statement saying that they have the full support of authorities here they say that in the past they ve been biden the attacks if they ve essentially defended the actions their actions so far of these 11 weeks of protests now a lot of people here will say 030 themselves carry lands a government has been quite quiet when it comes to responding to that demands what we have seen though is a hardening of rhetoric coming out of beijing increasing warnings that it is a coming in tandem with those images that we ve seen of the people s police massing on the border with hong kong is it people here will of course be watching very closely to see to find out of beijing and the authorities here hardening that line even further. in pill in hong kong for us thanks so much try. to afghanistan now where the so-called islamic

taliban and the united states say they are close to a deal aimed at getting u.s. troops to withdraw and ending the 18 year conflict. cobbles huge wedding halls are centers of community life but the grand design and decor of this one belie the carnage of the attack the death toll detailed in part by what many of the victims left behind. throughout the night ambulances ferried the injured for treatment outside of a nearby hospital relatives checked for names of the dead and injured an attacker had set off explosives in the midst of the wedding celebrations. yeah dimon presented the explosion happened near the stage where the musicians were all of the young people and all the people who were there were killed some are wounded and now they re in the hospital and others are dead. this nearby hospital needed every bit of space to accommodate the victims they had arrived in a massive wave of distress. of all of them or can borrow money we came to the site of the blast and i saw that many women and children were screaming and crying many martyrs and injured people were transferred by the ambulances and it was really a terrible situation. beyond the weddings themselves wedding halls are also used as simple meeting places for small and large gatherings that s made them the target of a local affiliate of the so-called islamic state. last november at least $55.00 people were

the trio of jayden sanchez marco royce and pak oh wow cassidy combined to pull one back was a no look pass from roy s showing telepathic understanding with the spanish striker . in the 2nd half it was outsports defense that started off snoozing axel vits all calmly dribbling down the left flank and his time cross carried straight to jade in sun show i was linked with a move away this summer that

is that a real rifle? reporter: a former firefighter confronting andreychenko. he does not want to be identified. i drew my weapon, told him to put his hands in the air. he complied. he was compliant the whole time. he was videotaping on his phone, which was kind of odd. reporter: tonight police saying adreychenko told them he quote, wanted to know if that walmart honored the second amendment and that due to recent shootings and a stabbing, he wanted to protect himself. police looking at the new videos of him in target practice. his intent was not to cause peace or comfort to anybody that was in the business here. in fact, he s lucky he s alive still, to be honest. gio joins us live. police shedding a light on the gunman s possible motive. in a week that s seen two mass shootings, the suspected told police that he was surprised by the panic?

reporter: that s right, tom. there was another witness there with his own handgun who saw the suspect coming towards him, feared for his life and he fired several shots. he is not sure if the suspect was wounded but he says it was enough to cause the gunman to flee. tom? all right, clayton, thank you. next tonight, disturbing allegations of jeffrey epstein and members of his social circle. those allegations come from newly unsealed documents from a new settled court case against elaine maxwell. a woman claims that maxwell groomed her to be a sex slave to epstein and was trafficked to some of his most powerful associates. among his associates, a former senator and a governor. here is abc s linsey davis. reporter: tonight, the jeffrey epstein scandal is growing. bombshell accusations point a finger at some notable names. 2,000 pages of documents were unsealed in manhattan federal court related to a defamation case brought by virginia roberts giuffre against ghislaine maxwell, an epstein associate. in court filings giuffre says she became an underage teen sex slave for epstein, and later was directed by maxwell and epstein to have sex with many quote powerful men, including numerous prominent american politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, and other world leaders. among those giuffre names in sworn depositions, british royalty prince andrew, former governor and u.n. ambassador bill richardson, and the influential former senator from maine, george mitchell. all three men have strongly denied the allegations. in statements today, mitchel and richardson say they never met her and these allegations are false. in an interview with the miami herald giuffre described how she was trained. the training started immediately give jeffrey what he wants. a lot of this training came from ghislaine herself. and being a woman, it kind of surprises you that a woman could actually let stuff like that happen. but not only let it happen but to groom you into doing it. i was young. i was scared. they were powerful. i didn t know what would happen if i said no. i didn t know what would happen if i reported them. reporter: maxwell has consistently denied the allegations, and in court filings, her lawyers say she had failed to substantiate her claims of being trafficked to well known men. jeffrey epstein charged with conspiracy and sex trafficking remains under suicide watch in a new york city jail awaiting trial. linsey davis joins us life in studio. tonight, there is a real possibility other epstein associates could face criminal charges? reporter: that s right. there s an on going investigation into possible police accomplices and there are thousands of documents sealed. there is an active effort to make those documents public. weant tn w to politics and washington. president trump expressing optimism that he can achieve gun reform, specifically background checks. he says he s had serious discussions with democratic leaders and with mitch mcconnell but also with the nra whose views he promises will be quote, respected. the tall order is sparking doubt on the campaign trail in iowa. abc s mary bruce is there. reporter: leaving the white house today, under growing pressure, president trump publicly pushing for stricter background checks. there s been no president that feels more strongly about the second amendment than i do. however, we need meaningful background checks so that sick people don t get guns. reporter: and trump says he can get republicans and even the gun lobby on board. i have a lot of respect for the people at the nra, and i have already spoken to them on numerous occasions. numerous occasions. and frankly, we need intelligent background checks. reporter: here in iowa, the democratic candidates quick to respond. he wants to say, oh, yes, i can support changes on gun safety, and then say but, let s all be sure to bow to the nra. that just doesn t work. reporter: do you give him credit for trying to push for action on this? i will give the president credit when i actually see him sign legislation that enacts common sense gun safety legislation. what we need is for him to actually push mitch mcconnell and the senate to enact common sense gun safety legislation. i m not holding my breath though. reporter: meanwhile, the trump campaign is hitting joe biden for this comment overnight. we have this notion that somehow if you re poor, you cannot do it. poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids, wealthy kids, black kids, asian kids. reporter: biden s campaign says the former vice president misspoke, but today the president piling on. joe biden is not playing with a full deck. this is not somebody you can have as your president, but if he got the nomination, i would be thrilled. okay, mary bruce live tonight from the iowa state fair. i want to go back to the background check issue. you cover capitol hill for us. give us a reality check here how realistic is it to pass this and will the president call congress back into session to vote? reporter: well, the president is calling for meaningful background checks but remember, he has also threatened to veto background check legislation s mcconnell s desk since february. he says quote i think we will have a good package by the time they come back and they can start debating and voting on it then. tom?

president s choice for the that this revives questions who is ratcliffe? important job of director of about the trump administration s i mean this was, and you can national intelligence, seemed vetting process, as you might imagine what it must feel like, unusual, he then became to be one of the 100,000 or so imagine. controversial, well tonight, reporter who joins us in a he s out. just like that. moment, co-authors the piece employees of u.s. spy agencies, nomination withdrawn. you eat right. mostly. the president will now make a that notes ratcliffe s to watch this sort of you make time. when you can. new choice. apparently not having checked on withdrawal underscores the whiplash-inducing week, from the but sometimes life gets in the way, the background of the last one. recurring dysfunction in the white house. and that stubborn fat just won t go away. texas republican congressman a selection of an utter unknown, white house vetting process that has placed the administration. coolsculpting takes you further. i think i represent the john rat cliff did not have to lead the entire intelligence community, at a time of a lot of a non-surgical treatment that targets, freezes, party. he has been a vocal supporter of i think my views are where the intelligence experience other than sitting on that committee vast majority of the democratic the president. global turmoil. and eliminates treated fat cells, for good. party are. in the house. there s a lot of really, really on that committee where he that was on display last week and then to see that he has it s been a long time openly seemed to be auditioning discuss coolsculpting with your doctor. good people that got elected who since andrew dusted off his dancing shoes. when he took special counsel embellishments on his resume, in robert mueller to task at that some common side-effects include temporary numbness, are really pushing the envelope, luckily denture breath from the job dan coats is addition to fairly paltry will be the least of his worries. live televised house judiciary discomfort, and swelling. and it s good, it s healthy to because he uses polident 4 in 1 cleaning system vacating as dni. do that, but the idea that they hearing. qualifications for the job, and don t imagine results, see them. indeed, he was offered the job i agree with the chairman, then to see that just unravel in to kill 99.99% this morning, when he said coolsculpting, represent what the party is before tossing it back today, the span of a week, and it just take yourself further. of odor causing bacteria. after questions about his resume donald trump is not above the law. today does not comport with who polident. clean. fresh. and confident. he s not. shows you, i would think, not a gets elected, does not comport and qualifications. but he dacmn sure shouldn t be with how we won last, in 18. here s how we learned about it, lot of thought and attention and when the president said his that man, joe biden, was below the law which is where care is being given to selecting nominee was being treated very forced to fend off waves of volume two of this report puts somebody for a pretty important unfairly by the lame stream attacks at that debate the other him. turns out ratcliffe was a job. night, in detroit. media, rather than going through so andy carney, if there is some of them because he was months of slander and libel, i line on his resume, as a u.s. indeed no rigorous process of obama s partner for eight years, explained to john how miserable in the white house. attorney i arrested over 300 vetting on the front side, is it would be for him and his illegal immigrants on a single susan page of usa today summed family to deal with these there at least a sameness to the day. washington post reports that people. and ratcliffe followed up right claim refers to a roundup of it up today writing quote, he immigrant workers at poultry process by which these go down? was forced to defend his record away with i do not wish for a plants back in 08, and that on health care, criminal a little bit. national security and quote, a closer look at the case justice, immigration, working intelligence debate surrounding trump s nomination of ratcliffe mothers, the war in iraq and shows thatratcliffe s claims even his service in the obama my confirmation, however untrue, and his withdrawal both can be white house, a badge he has conflict with the court record and the recollections of others seen as reactions as to how was to become a purely political and brandished as his biggest asset. who participated in the partisan issue. playing. our reporting shows that after the common and critical thread the washington post reports, republicans in the senate operation. only 45 workers were charged by was the portrayal of the prosecutors in ratcliffe s democratic front-runner as a weren t behind ratcliffe from coats was leaving, and there candidate from another era, were reports that there wasn t a the get-go and on thursday, beloved but outdated, and with a trump began polling advisers office, court documents show. clear person ready to go to take decidedly mixed record that gave two people involved in the planning or execution of the his place, trump quickly tweeted him both experience and baggage. tout whether ratcliffe could be out that he was going to appoint enforcement effort said they could not recall ratcliffe yet today, a new poll from the playing a central role. folks at morning consult this means the u.s. is facing ratcliffe, in fact because he conducted the day after the doesn t like this sense of the possibility of having no uncertainty surrounding his debate notely finds biden s process for top jobs. of odor causing bacteria. has four levels of defenseremium gasoagainst permanent national security i think that you can square the gunk, wear, corrosion and friction. front-runner status unabated at leader amid increasing tensions, seemingly contradictory as we cover here, every night, statements he made about the 32%. that helps keep your engine running like new. with iran, north korea, and the press today, by what he means by bernie sanders at 18. you do my vetting for me. threat of future election elizabeth warren at 15. and so on. i think in part, he means i see back with us tonight, two of our it s fuel for thought. interference, the ongoing attack how it plays. from russia. favorites, and returning and he saw that this was not now, within congress, this is playing well. veterans, the aforementioned that there wasn t a lot of susan page, washington bureau (rates vehicles for safety, andr hsome reach a level of notable. there is widespread support for sue gordon, a career civil counter, a lot of people coming top safety pick. to ratcliffe s defense, people chief for usa today, her latest servant, who is dan serve as att but only a select few of the very safest vehicles are awarded book, the matriarch, barbara didn t know who he was, there was concern among republicans, bush and the making of an a top safety pick plus. american dynasty. too, not just democrats, and so and the pulitzer prize winning the highest level of safety possible. acting he saw which direction it was going and decided to drop it. author and presidential how many 2019 top safety pick plus-winning historian john meche meachum, one thing that is clear is that vehicles does your brand have? he doesn t have a vetting his latest work, co-authored one. two. how about eight? process, and he doesn t seem to with tim mcgraw is songs of think that all of these failed subaru has more 2019 top safety pick plus awards america and the next album, the nominations actually hurt him. way you look tonight, will be than honda and toyota brands combined. there haven t been like this, this needs to stop, we need to available in 8-track and there s safe, and then there s subaru safe. do a different process, i need cassette tapes merely for to not surprise my own team by asking, good evening and welcome announcing something on twitter. to you both. he just rolls on to the next susan i will blessedly begin with you and the question, what one. we saw most recently herman do you make of the week we have just seen in the democratic cain, stephen moore, he liked party? i don t know congressman them, announced them, floated well, you know, joe biden did definitely better in this second hurd, but i have heard he has them, they didn t work. done a good job. debate than he did in the first we differ on certain subjects they suffered. he doesn t think he does. debate. in miami, where he seemed a but i heard he has actually done frank, let s talk about what a good job. it is too bad he is leaving but didn t happen today. all things perversely little bit unsettled by the idea this other candidates would really don t know him. considered, was this in the end attack him. a good day for the intelligence he was better prepared this we first reported it here last night, texas congressman time. but he wasn t so commanding as business? this was a rare win for the to settle every question there will hurd, who happens to be the is about his campaign and his only black republican in the american public, and the house, is saying he will not be intelligence community. respective nomination. because we narrowly escaped nobody else did so great though running for re-election next that they surged. someone who was entirely and that s why i think when you year. incompetent and unqualified for emily cochran of the new york this job. so but for his own times points out mr. hurd who look at the morning consult is also the only republican to poll, what strikes you is how embellishments on his resume, steady it is, almost no one has represent a district along the this guy likely would have been southwestern border, is the gained, the bottom hasn t fallen sixth house republican and the out for joe biden or anybody the nominee, and we possibly third texan in the past ten days would have been facing someone else and no. no one has really to announce retirement. who is not only unqualified but surged, and the candidate that after the 2020 election, senator also a partisan advocate for the has seen the greatest change tim scott, republican of north president, and what is the dni carolina, will be the only black position is the last position this week is elizabeth warren who had a good debate both times, and adding to it so far, republican incumbent in that you want someone who is but this is a contest that is congress. again, that would be both houses going to go on for a while, and dedicated to a partisan agenda, the test for joe biden, did okay of congress, all 535 members of and not dedicated to the truth. this time, he is going to face some more. and susan, we were saying congress. this may be, in fact, i will go still with us tonight, our earlier this week, the debates friend susan page, and john ahead and say, this is the most significant time since the were in part proof of the fact creation of the dni position, in that party bosses are dead. meachum. susan, explain to our viewers because a party boss would say why, here is a guy, will hurd, okay, you guys all get that one of 535, we last saw him terms of adversarial threats you re going to go out and that we re facing. during the mueller hearing, the the depth and complexity of attack trump and by the way the following names that i m going news kind of went by everybody them. to read, go home and run for the fact that even today, we else. heard reporting that bots are why was this seismic where you all over the place, trying to senate. yes, well, if the party live and work in the washington area? well, for one thing, there is convince us who has won a bosses, if there were party the fact that it reduces the debate, or racially divide us. it is still happening. limited diversity of the bosses they would do that. republican caucus, in more than we need a deeply experienced the one percenters, democrats one way. would much prefer them running in race, but also in a intelligence professional in this role and ratcliffe was not for senate in colorado, for willingness to stand up to instance, and that is not the president trump, because there that guy. system anymore and a lot of are only a handful of house frank, to your point further, people would like to be republicans who have been president, democrats think this willing to do that, and will is a good nomination to have, the whole world is watching, the hurd has been one of them. whole world can see us, whether that president trump could be elected but he could also be we came up with a jv grade the other reason, they have been beaten, and so nobody is going nominee for this critical home quite yet. highly respected, he is a position, or our president on john meachum, nobody needs to serious legislator, respected on the south lawn saying you guys tell you, it is tough to run, as both sides of the aisle. do the vetting. the fact that he is stepping in, a sitting or former vice he is like 41 years old, it is not like he is ready to retire, well, the world is watching, president, and the longer your the fact that he is stepping and our adversarial and allied legislative paper trail, the down says to washington he intelligence services are tougher it can be, especially in doesn t think republicans are going to regain control of the watching this. this mess. house next year. and what they re, here s the a brand new era where everyone s and that he is probably tired of problem with that, there s going to be a day where the comments is invited on social being in a party defined by president s going to have to rely on our intelligence and media. george h.w. bush used to call president trump, which the he s going to have to confront person to whom all of these an adversary with it, or he is it the van buren thing. republican members of congress from 1836 to 1988, before a going to have to support an ally with it, and everybody is going have to either keep their mouth to say, who is this dni? sitting vice president was actually elected president. shut, defend, or occasionally where are you getting this somebody like nixon had to wait intelligence from? criticize at some risk to their is there any credibility to what eight years after he lost in futures. and i think that you see members you re telling us? 1960. and as we watch this kind of and functionally, biden even of the republican members of though he is not an incumbent congress saying this is not vice president, is kind of is, worth it. amateurish approach to vetting, john meachum, the point susan the world is watching and it for all of the reasons we ve undermines the credibility of talked about. and i think that is a blessing raised is exactly the one i want our intelligence services. you to take on after i read you greg, tell us about sue and a burden. the burden, obviously, is, as this. another guest on our broadcast, gordon. again, the number two to the susan was saying, he feels hitcut gore from bloomberg, dni. the career professional. tweeted this last night, called and as a subset of that, i would the future of the gop, will hurd say has been around for a while. the fact that i can t tell you the benefit is this is a world retiring, marco rubio, lost anything about her including but where donald trump is president. presidential bid, paul ryan lost not limited to whether she ever bought a bumper sticker in any so do any of these rules really vp bid, became speaker, quit. scott walker lost election, ted political views she may have, matter anymore? cruz lost the presidential bid, and so far, at least, the that, our inability to say that is more in keeping with the polling seems to suggest that eric cantor lost house primary, career types at the intel jobs. the head of the democratic nikki haley writing book. party, the head part, is with susannah martinez out of politics. so john, back to susan s theory, she s a three decades in u.s. biden. i suspect the heart is with that departures harden the intelligence agencies. warren and sanders and with the concrete at the center, harden she s very highly respected and regarded. the notion of those who stick she spent most of her career at much bigger liberal ideas, the cia, where she was basically progressive ideas, but that s around become inextricably trump their head of personnel. not the way, at least, we think, the time when i had the most republican. well, parties fundamentally change in american history, when direct access to her was after broadly put, to carry states there are moments when will is not consensus about the greatest like pennsylvania and michigan, the deaths in benghazi, where these states that trump went issue before the country. there was a meeting for small through, the blue wall of 2016. we most recently saw that groups of reporters at the cia, because the democratic party where they were explaining what fell apart over the republican had happened, and she was really so my money right now would be party changed coalitions, emotional at that time, i remember, because she regarded on biden going through and because of a disagreement over getting the nomination, and these as her people. then, you know, maybe it s civil rights. we saw the rise of the it was clear that she cared very republican party in the death of the wigs, in the 19th century, deeply about the people who were jurassic park with these two because there couldn t be, the hurt, and killed, overseas, septuagenarians runs against under her charge. each other next year, but i parties didn t, the single party didn t agree on slavery. and she s, now she s sort of suspect, suspect that s where we dangling, right? r guests have donald trump is quickly becoming i mean this is just sort of agreed to stay with us, as we go where you end up when you work to break, i want to read in the intelligence community, something writes, such a superb that kind of defining question and this administration, she s for this party. the number two, the law would stipulate that she should be the letter from washington each week and we ve joked before, but as in the new yorker, confession. acting deputy, but trump is i don tald trump for whom freud told us, all jokes have a certain element of truth, donald trump s one of the few recorded considering at least, you know, cases of a hijacker boarding a even though today he plane and the passengers side semi-endorsed her for the job, with the hijacker, and the he also said that she would be question is, will the republican under consideration for a job that she essentially already base become so devout unto occupies. stranger things have happened. the president leaves for the itself, so bound up, that weekend learning of her popularity especially from some of the republicans who are centrist part of the puzzle is saying from him, this last simply gone? and i think these retirements nomination is dead, i wanted to suggest that that is certainly help you but i could not, he the reality of 2020 politically. does like to be attached to popularity. he does. and he has listened in the past and culturally, politically, is when a nominee falls through, i m thinking of heather nauert, one of the most fascinating questions facing us, is what his pick to be the u.n. happens to the republican party ambassador, fell through, his after trump? does trumpism survive, despite follow-up pick kelly craft who had road blocks of her own, a lot of republican senators said donald trump having to some point leave the scene? to him, she will have an easy and that s something that it process and that seemed to have would take, if one were a resonated to him. he may look to something like republican, thinking about the that. but i think his concern is, he future of the party, the people clashed with dan coats who was you just listed off, would be widely respected by democrats the kind of folks you would want in the room, in the arena, pick and republicans alike. because dan coats seemed to at your metaphor, trying to pick up times publicly contradict him on these pieces, and push forward. foreign policy issues. he seemed at one point to and those folks are not. question trump s relationship now maybe they re going to with putin and another time he hibernate and come back, but you undercut the administration s line on their progress with north korea, and what they were know, i suspect they re looking achieving with their at this, as susan was just relationship with kim jong-un, saying, they re looking at this and he doesn t like an and thinking it is just not worth it. for our audience to consider independent contradictory voice and think about on a friday in his, coming out from his night, with our thanks to the journalists and author susan administration, and part of this page, and the journalist, here, part of what he liked presidential historian and recording artist, john meachum, about ratcliffe, this guy seems our thanks, gang, for joining us at the end of another week. like a loyal soldier and part of the apprehension maybe he will coming up for us, the get another person in the mold president sets a deadline for of dan coats. pulling all american troops out we can t find reporting to of afghanistan. pass along to viewers any by the way, he also floats a fresher to that. number of days it would take the to greg miller, to any carney, military at his command to to fred, thank for joining usion destroy afghanistan and kill at the end of another long week millions. we will lay it all before a man to start off our conversation. and coming up, house democrats who retired with four stars atop each shoulder.

well, here us with to talk about it on a friday night, andrew, well, you know, there s two ways of looking at it. congressional reporter for in one sense, it was just politico s, a rare night in new york, and jonathan allen, in washington, nbc news national blagter, political blather, it political reporter, gentleman, good evening, and welcome to you didn t have any meaning at all. on the other hand, it is one of the most horrific illegal both. andrew, in pelosi s figuring, no statements ever made in the oval office. it implies that the u.s. armed one envies her, this role, or forces actually considered and her overall job, by the way, ask gave the president a plan to use john boehner, it is said shy she nuclear weapons against a civil war whose government we re supporting. there could not possibly have been a jcs analysis jcs analysi is also protecting some of her flock. why would that be? opening an impeachment, it option. it would have been illegal. would unlock budgetary measures it would have resulted in to hire new lawyers and the impeachment of the president white house general counsel s office and would need more staffing for impeachment inquiry. the problem with putting that to immediately. look, we ve been there 19 years. a floor vote, pelosi s biggest we ve been 70-plus years? job is maintaining her majority, right, and most of those germany, 70-plus years in japan, districts that flipped from red to blue in the past mid-term elections are some of the most what serves u.s. national moderate democrats in congress. interests? that s a tough question when that would be a very politically you re dealing with afghanistan. perilous vote for them to take. there clearly is not a coherent pelosi does not want to put them in that position right now. afghan central government. the taliban are increasingly and she probably doesn t want to put them in that position at all taking over the countryside. the question is, what do we do? especially as we get closer to i think trump has decided, get 2 us out as a political deal. 2020 but the issue again the majority of that 2018 number with some trepidation, i turn come from districts that hillary us both to north korea. clinton won by ten-plus points here were the president s tweets today. this is after these short-range but not necessarily a politically perilous decision to missile launches we witnessed this week. make. pelosi has a difficult job, there may be a united nations upping her rhetoric of the president, and backing a way, to violation, but chairman kim does not want to disappoint me with a consider whether impeachment violation of trust. chairman kim has a great and articles are warranted but that beautiful vision for his country is the tough bind, trying to and only the united states, with maintain the majority and that is the biggest job as speaker. me as president, can make that john, what do you think is vision come true. the judgment here? he will do the right thing will this go down as a colossal because he is far too smart not waste of time during a critical time? or are we going to have members t to and he does not want to go home, 535 people, go home, disappoint his friend, president trump. general, your reaction? kim jong-un is one of the presumably, let s say half or most will have town hall most corrupt, murderous thugs on gatherings with their constituents? is this going to loom large? the face of the earth and is a or as we expect will health care huge threat to south korea and be the number one issue back japan and u.s. armed forces in home? it is really going to be up the region. he s got maybe 60 nuclear to democratic voters and i think it is mostly going to be up to weapons and he s still producing democratic voters in those districts that andrew was just talking about. it is not so much in those weapons-grade material. he s still manufacturing heavily democratic districts but in those swing district, the intermediate range ballistic ones where those politically missiles. he s testing in violation of the vulnerable member rchls if the united nations sanctions, the democratic voters there make it so-called short range are so politically uncomfortable for probably a variant of a soviet their lawmakers, for their representatives to not come out era nuclear device. for impeachment or at least an they go over 400 miles. impeachment inquiry, maybe they will come back to washington and they can threaten u.s. military decide that they will get on board with that. if they do not do that and if forces, japanese and south they re focused on health care, korea. so the president has got nothing if they re focused on other kitchen table issues, then i out of this so far. and at some point, he s going to think you come back to washington and you have a situation much like you have give kim what he wants, relief right now, where there is a majority of the democratic from sanctions. caucus in favor of it, but nancy he s starting to unravel pelosi doesn t want to put a sanctions from the chinese and vote on the floor that will the russians. either, a, fail, or b, put their i was going to say, general, and you just touched on it, members in a position where they short-range is all the range you are alienating their base or need when you are the city size alienating the swing voters. i will ask our control room to put on to the screen what the president tweeted today about a population of americans we have in south korea, when you have veteran member of congress from maryland. really bad news. the baltimore house of elijah friends in japan, for starters. cummings was robbed. this is a tremendous threat. too bad. john allen, that our president it s a very short launch to talks that way publicly, as target time frame and their low people in our jobs like to say, level can be difficult to pick has been baked into the cake, up. so these are dangerous devices. but someone theorized to me but he s also continuing to work tonight that you can draw a on a prototype of an icbm that bright clear line, from comments like that, including that, to can strike the united states and he just unveiled version one of these defections and retirements we are watching before our very a submarine-launched ballistic eyes. i think that is absolutely true, brian. missile capability. i think some of these republican he s proceeding. he s a declared legitized lawmakers are frankly tired of defending the president, and nuclear power by the president some cases they know that it is going to be difficult for them of the united states. general mccaffrey, we thank to win re-election. you as always, general, for will hurd, the congressman from joining us on our broadcast tonight. texas who won the last race by a coming up, when we come back, a guy fairly considered to handful of votes and going to be be on the president s home team in a difficult spot to win deciding to step in and correct re-election this time, certainly he was called upon every time he the president when the 11th hour came on television to defend the continues. things the president was saying. i talked to a bunch of republicans in various walks of life around washington today. they were aghast at what the president had tweeted. it is very unusual to see shadd schadenfreude about someone else s home being invaded and something that conservatives would not normally look at as a good thing. there is usually abeef among co homes should be defended and shouldn t be intrusion. and among liberals and pretty much every american. it was unusual to see but i so that early retirement we planned. think your point is well taken, it s going ok? brian, as a broader matter, i great. think a lot of republicans are now i m spending more time with the kids. tired of being in this position where they feel like they have i m introducing them to crab. to defend what they see as the crab!? they love it. indefensible and the other so, you mentioned that that money we set aside. alternative is to come out and condemn the president and shack. alienate his base which again is a lot of their base. and andrew, your colleagues at politico s, outdid themselves ahhh, you re finally building that outdoor kitchen. today, they came up with a stat the whole gang. see how investing with a j.p. morgan advisor can help you. that there are more men named jim in the house of visit your local chase branch. representatives than republican women running for re-election. your daily dashboard from fidelity. a visual snapshot of your investments. chris kollingsworth would love a key portfolio events. all in one place. stat like that. particularly. i mean it is esoteric, yes, because when it s decision time. but it speaks to something that you need decision tech. is aggressively becoming not a only from fidelity. good look for the republican party. one of those female how do you like it, republicans who is not running how do you like it more, more, more how do you like it, how do you like it for re-election, susan brook, the head of recruiting for the all you can eat is back. republican national committee, how do you like that? and imagine you re a respective applebee s. candidate in battleground now that s eatin good in the neighborhood. districts and you see even the person in charge of recruiting you, at least trying to take i felt i couldn t be at my best for my family. back the house majority, she is in only 8 weeks with mavyret, even leaving. these are people who are very i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. frustrated with the president obviously but i think back to the day of the midterm elections in 2018 when the president but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. ridiculed neil love, now a cnn even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. commentator, carlos carbelo, a but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure commentator for this network, for all common types of hep c. republicans of color in the house, critical of the before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you ve had hepatitis b which may flare up president, moderate republicans and the president was and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. essentially stomping on their political grave saying they are tell your doctor if you ve had hepatitis b, not supporting me enough, and that s why they lost, the reason a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, they lost is the blue wave hiv-1, or other medical conditions, impacting their districts and their districts trending more and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. blue and the opposite of what the president is saying but the don t take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, president is trying to stomp on the graves of people who are going against him within the or if you ve had certain liver problems. common side effects include headache and tiredness. republican party, and it is becoming more of the trump, the trump party, and within the with hep c behind me, i feel free. house republican caucus right .fearless. now, there is no longer much room for moderate republicans. .and there s no looking back, because i am cured. two of the by line force our talk to your doctor about mavyret. viewers to look for on a regular basis, andrew and jonathan, thanks to you you wouldn t accept from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills?

last thing before we go tonight, and we won t keep you long, we know you re anxious to start the weekend, but these tariffs, you re going to be hearing a lot more about tariffs as the next round of them approaches at the end of this month. we ve all heard commercials for various companies who say they pass along the savings to the consumer. tariffs are the opposite of that. companies pass along the cost of tariffs and this theme played out on fox news today. we re going to pick up this clip with the president s comments prior to departure from the south lawn where he mixed china and american farmers and tariffs all into one word salad followed by kne by neil cavuto who had enough of this talk. we re making it up. our country is taking in billions and billions of dollars from china. we never took in 10 cents from china. and out of that many billions of dollars, we re taking a part of it and we re giving it to the farmers because they ve been targeted by china. you interviewed the wrong farmer. all right. i don t know where to begin here. just to be clarifying here. china isn t paying these tariffs. you are. indirectly and sometimes directly it s passed along to you through american distributors and their counterparts in the united states. not the chinese government or china in particular. i didn t quite understand what he was saying about the devaluation of that. be that as it may, this latest round of tariffs that kick in on september 1st, that will most directly be felt by consumers because that happens on almost entirely consumer items rather than industrial-related items. just wanted to clarify that. governments don t pay these things, you do. one way or another. so neil cavuto, on tariffs to end an eventful week for us and bring on the first of five precious august weekends. and after that, of course, it s basically thanksgiving. that is our broadcast for this friday night and indeed for this week. thank you so much for being with us and good night from our nbc headquarters here in new york. we have lots to get to tonight. we start tonight with news about a key figure in trump world and now a key witness in the mueller investigation. rick gates served as deputy chairman of the trump campaign. gates had been paul manafort s right hand deputy working for ukrainian oligarchs. manafort was pushed out in august of 2016 but rick gates stayed on right through election day. gates then served as the number two official on the trump inaugural committee. because he held those key positions rick gates was an up close first person eye witness to what was going on inside the

controversial presidential runoff the turnout for the 1st round was poor and it appears there s little enthusiasm for the for the 2 main candidates the central american country faces many challenges including widespread poverty and unemployment. will make his in the us a calling for answers following the death in prison of disgraced financier jeffrey epstein there s been widespread skepticism as to how he could have taken his own life in a high security federal prison just weeks after an apparent preview suicide attempt of state was jailed last month on sex trafficking charges that could have implicated numerous wealthy and powerful people f.b.i. is now investigating the death. he had already been found injured in a cell a few weeks ago then the multi-millionaire was found dead in the new york jail where he was awaiting trial an apparent suicide. the convicted pedophile was facing up to 45 years behind bars on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges. epstein a high powered investor was accused of having sexually abused girls as young as 14 at parties in his palm beach villa where he reportedly passed the girls on to his guests what made the case explosive was the few notes he has connections to public figures including british royal prince andrew former u.s. president bill clinton as well as the sitting president donald trump charges were already brought against him in 2008 a controversial plea deal spared him time in prison. if i wasn t afraid to come forward sooner than we would be he would have done it to other girls i feel really guilty to list if the. conviction for epstein could have meant the rest of his life in prison now many questions remain will the authorities further investigate the sex trafficking allegations and will possible accomplices be held to account. and as we just heard questions as they mounting since the death about the future of the investigation and about the circumstances surrounding abstains death put a calm as man has been looking into that call hi thanks for joining me so what more can you tell us about the investigation and what might happen now in these questions about the future of the investigation what we know now is that his death his apparent suicide does not prevent this investigation from going forward and officials are are promising that they will continue to look into it in fact one of the attorneys that s involved in the case said yesterday that epstein was facing a conspiracy charge so that means that there could potentially be other people involved in these alleged crimes that means others could still be charged maybe for legs alleged sex trafficking for helping to recruit these under underage girls and so his his ring of a. influence may continue to find more alleged victims as well what many want to know is will this investigation lead to the indictment of any of these kind of big name figures that we know were were involved with epstein that knew him that would travel on his private planes for example as we saw in the piece it extends from fashion to business always to politics even presidents and ex presidents weed so the legal process it will continue this investigation will continue but of course it will be without the potential testimony of jeffrey epstein that could have been crucial and very useful if he had testified maybe in some kind of deal with prosecutors that could have led to more evidence against other people that may have been involved and given that people could be interconnected and that s really led to a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding this unfortunately that s right and you know this suicide has really angered a lot of people from the prosecutors involved here the victims the victims families all the way up to the attorney general william barr even the f.b.i. taking the rare step now of launching an investigation into this alleged suicide and so the circumstances surrounding it people really want to know what happened here i mean there s a few questions why did the jail take him off of suicide watch for example he had some marks around his neck a couple of weeks earlier that could have indicated the potential suicide attempts how was this allowed to happen by the jail itself mean this is a jail that s used to housing high profile suspects from paul mann afford to is currently in this jail. the the very high profile mexican criminal he was held there as well while he was awaiting his trial so this is a place that that s used to so housing high profile suspects it s something that does make it seem a bit suspicious unfortunately as you mentioned while fear is now surrounding the death of epstein including some being treated by the president himself and we saw this on the u.s. president donald trump s twitter account and here he is retreating a rumor about the death saying that epstein had information on bill clinton and now he s dead so. trying to link former president bill clinton who did in fact know abstain but has denied any other connection to him to do this death so there s no evidence of that and this is coming from a comedian who s also trump supporter but you know we ve seen the president retreating and kind of peddling in conspiracy theories the for well what about the alleged victims here i mean they must be really disappointed that this case is not going to go as planned to get disappointed i think is one word to put i mean this is the 2nd time now that epstein s victims alleged victims will not get their day in court and that s what many of them want to mean as we heard charges were filed in 2008 in florida that led to a plea deal so there was no trial no chance for any testimony or for the for the women involved here to have their say one accuser now who says she was raped by obscene while she was in high school she had this statement following his suicide she said we have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives while he will never face the consequences of the crimes that he committed congressman thanks very much for that update on some sport news now and the 1st round of german cup matches this season is underway with 2 1st division winners they get sides already know down by lower division opponent minds was decided by 3rd division side kaiser s mountain and was eliminated by 4th to fell monday sees another underdog try the almost impossible when couples play at home to win his league champions by munich. has seen better days it actually has 1st division pedigree having played 6 seasons in germany s top league between 200-2009 but then the club began to decline steadily ending up in the semi pro 4th division or regional leak as it s called in germany but hope springs eternal they say in fact the team s coach thinks this draw couldn t have been better for his squad. as a 4th division side knowing that you re not going to go too far in this comp you hope for a draw like this by and munich will pack the fans in. no wonder byron is chock a block with stars not to mention the dizzying number of titles it s won at home and internationally the bavarians biggest problem seems to be whether they re going to make another big signing before the bundesliga season starts next week and they also want to make a better impression this season after losing to dortmund in the super cup. it s not about wanting a specific result but about the way we played. not letting the rivals have the opportunity to win the game at all. will be given and 6 we need to dominate and control a match expected of us. the last time cutbush actually beat byron was more than 10 years ago and its current squad is full of unknowns yet it has proven to be quite resilient in recent german cups having only bowed out the last 2 seasons against 1st division sides on penalty shots. just to tell
