can't control. then he has to have a punching bag and. >> and he went after them in this interview, saying he couldn't see the littlest big thing around him. >> what do you see happening? >> he wants what he wants and he's not ready to say these are global stamgss. the effects of the tax policy that he helped house in congress, you want the bumper sticker way to blame. >> quick final question, and that is nancy pelosi, has a closed door vote tomorrow which many bleem with the speaker house for the second time.
>> may be more constructive than a blue wave. >> maybe, i think that the democrats are definitely much more organized about they've captured the house, as has been discussed on this network many times, the president has, i don't think, in this case, stephanie, i don't think the president really realizes how difficult life will be with the democratic house that he can't control. so in that sense i think the democrats have an edge. but the thing that happened in the midterms, that i think is the most significant, is you had educated, affluent white women have now joined a coalition of minorities, african-american and hispanic. if you hold those together, that's a pretty unbeatable coalition. and the republicans are going to have a hard time breaking that apart. particularly when the president has done so much damage, particularly to the hispanic community. >> that takes us to three different points. one is that what the midterms showed and demonstrated is that demographic shifts are real, that they're happening, that what we saw in texas, what we saw in georgia, what we're seeing in florida, what we saw
i've been at these rallies. he often uses this outrageousness to distract attention from narratives he can't control. i would argue that one of those stories has been for him the suspected murder of jamal khashoggi. but then to make comments about body slamming a reporter, doesn't it only draw more attention to that? >> the president doesn't care. i mean, the president is very tactical. he's going to say what he says when he says it because he's going to get a response from the audience, but i mean, how smart is greg anyway, he couldn't find his words to answer ben's questions. instead he has to resort to physical violence. i'm reminded of my wife and her preschoolers. we have to say, no, we don't hit the other children, we use our words, and here you have a congressman who couldn't find any words because he's not smart enough to come up with them. >> let's look at it as a strategy, rick. as a strategy, is it smart? because there are a lot of folks who aren't convinced that these
them iconic and that's why he gets so upset when everything in those different companies or different organizations when it's not glowing for them. goen on, michael d'antonio. >> you know, if "time" magazine is one example of a media outlet, he can't control, so he used to control what was on the cover of the "national enquirer" and as a result, i think he didn't respect them at all. and this relationship he had with david pecker was certainly mutual exploitation and it wasn't about journalism or respect. "time" magazine, cnn, he can't push either one of those institutions around and as a result, he respects them. >> yeah. thank you, both. appreciate your time. when we come back, a dog whistle coming straight from fox news to the president's twitter. we're going to tell you what he tweeted and why it's wrong and how it's part of a disturbing pattern of distracting and deflecting from headlines he
said they believe is sick and dangerous tweeted this. the fake news hates me saying that they are the enemy of the people, only because they know it's true. i am providing a great service by explaining this to the american people. they purposely cause great division and distrust. they can also cause war! they are very dangerous and sick! the former acting director of the cia responded to that tweet saying, we pay way too much attention to these whacky trump tweets that shouldn't drive news cycles, but the more i stare at this one, the more it seems like a deep, twisted and irrational impulse that, alarmingly, he can't control. it's beyond "un-presidential." here is a sampling of the president's recent musing that could be labeled delusional and sick.

but the chances of paul manafort getting off scott free are extremely low, extremely low. they've got a paper trail a mile long. >> how mad do you get, michael, when you watch somebody and find out that guy got away without paying taxes? nothing to do with how much it was, ten bucks or ten thousand. >> that's where this gets really interesting for a lot of folks as they watch this narrative unfold. the one thing, going with your football, opening day analogy. >> he went to baseball too. he went all over. >> is the optics of it. and that's the one that i think that donald trump can't control here is the images of the court. you know, we don't have tv inside the courtroom. so the narrative coming out of the courtroom he can't control. the optics from what's being drawn and the artist sketches can't be controlled. and so mueller has a keen -- i think a keen advantage here in laying out the case in a way all he needs is one conviction on the 18 to 20 or whatever charges are before him. he doesn't need all 18.
