"the new york times" expose, the reporters referenced several reporters who did groundbreaking work on trump's finances. one of them was the late wayne barrett who wrote the book "trump: the deals and the downfall." he appeared on [captioning made possible by democracy now!] in 2016 and said fred trump's financial support of donald trump was "unbelievably crucial in donald's rise to prominence. >> be opened his first office in manhattan, the rent was paid by his father's company out here on avenue the and brooklyn. everything that he did, whether be the grand hyatt, for example, to get the financing, he got the financing from two banks that his father had used, used his father's relationship banker. and the father had to sign the financing agreements. they're not going to get a 30 milli

>> trump: okay. that's just a figure of speech. >> stahl: just like-- no, it's like an embrace. >> trump: it-- well, let it be an embrace. let it be whatever it is to get the job done. >> stahl: yeah, but he's a bad guy. >> trump: look. let it be whatever it is. i get along with him really well. i have a good energy with him. i have a good chemistry with him. look at the horrible threats that were made. no more threats. no more threats. >> stahl: china. >> trump: i get along with him. it's very important. china, let's go. >> stahl: i'm skipping across the world here. you've slapped a lot of tariffs on them-- >> trump: $250 billion. >> stahl: going to do more? >> trump: might. might. >> stahl: round three? >> trump: they want to negotiate, lesley. they want to negotiate. >> stahl: are you ready? >> trump: look. >> stahl: are you ready to-- >> trump: i have a great chemistry also with president xi of china. i don't know that that's necessarily going to continue. i told president xi, we cannot continue

trump and how much money fred trump had given donald trump, there's just so much more than anybody thought. and then as we started to look at the money, then we realized all these tax schemes were behind it. just this incredible reporting journey of one revelation after another. sometimes you do these projects and you spend weeks where you're sort of thinking, we're at the end of the road. we never, ever had two or three days where we thought okay, we're running out here. we had so many roads to go down, and there is even more left. like, it was just an incredible, just discovery, and once we got these documents, it just opened up. it was an alice in wonderland moment for us where we were just like, wow. >> and going at it through that route that you're describing with the fred trump empire and the surprises and donald trump's finances around the timing of that sale and stuff, clearly that led you to public facing documents that were -- you could get to through the fred trump business empire. >> well, the great thing about real estate is public documents. this is where we started, and then

if donald trump, jr. and jared kushner took this meeting innocently and ignorantly and sort of stepped into -- you know, it's possible. but mr. manafort, he would have clearly known what the russians were up to. >> two nights before the meeting on june 7th, trump greeted supporters with what now sounds like a curious promise. >> we're going to be discussing all the things that have taken place with the clintons. i think you're going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. >> we just don't know if the speech donald trump made was a coincidence or not. and so the timing seems awfully strange. >> for all the attention the trump tower meeting would later get, goldstone says at the time he hardly gave it a second thought. >> i didn't care about a meeting. it sounds bad, but it's true. i didn't care. i wanted my client to be happy. that's always my ultimate goal. >>> coming up -- >> so tell us what happened. was the dirt on the democratic party and hillary clinton forthcoming? n the democratic p

trump. they say the attention today should be focused on the victims of saturday's anti semitic massacre. there are those who want president trump to be there. this all comes as the first funerals are being held today. among those being laid to rest, brothers david and cecil rosenthal and dr. jerry rabinowitz. we're on the ground in pittsburgh where apparently a protest has sprung up. miguel, how are the pittsburghers you're talking to -- how do they feel about the president's visit? >> reporter: look, jake, i have not seen a person with a dry eye in this neighborhood all day. people walking their dogs, moving around the neighborhood, and now this. that sadness, that absolute shock at what has happened has turned into anger with news of the president's visit. there are several hundred people here at this protest getting ready to march, just as the president is expected to land in pittsburgh and move around the city. there is a second protest in the neighborhood. president donald trump in thi

trump hired him. >> the family and the trump organization and his father, fred trump, had been accused of racism in their housing practices. >> trump's regular lawyers, the ordinary kinds of lawyers, tell him, "settle it. just move on, do the right thing." and he asks roy cohn about it. and roy cohn says, "don't settle it. fight, fight, fight. you t to fight." and that becomes kind of his early credo and his approach, which is, "even if you're in the wrong, fight." >> we expect to be successful io urt. we're not doing this for y y other reason. >> narrator: theuntersued the u.s. government for $100 million. in court filings, cohn comred the department of justice to the nazis, alleging "gestapo-like" tactics. >> in a pattern we can recognize from trump's behavior to this day, attacking the accusers, attacking, indeed, thece department, as a way to sort of throw a smokescreen around the original crime. >> narrator: cohn's suit against the justice department was thrown out, trump forced t settle. they had lost. but in t press, trump and cohn declared victory. >> it was justike it didn't m

trump. right? and the irony is that story really comes from for a lot of voters what they learned about the president on "the apprentice" which is actually sort of -- it is reality television, and it's quite fictitious. so now you have actual reality bumping up with the fiction of reality tv. and so that is huge and cannot be overstated. at the same time, again, what we'll have to wait and see, this literally just broke, one thing that struck me especially about the president's core group of supporters, the president has often been able to say to things like making products overseas that otherwise would be unacceptab unacceptable, wouldn't you have done the same thing? wouldn't you, too, have avoid e taxes if you could? that's smart business. we don't know what his response will be. on one hand, you're right, it total he undercuts the myth of president trump, dealmaker, the businessman. on the other hand, it will be interesting to see if the president can find a way to talk his way out of th

trump: right. ms. chinn: and the work that you've done with secretary perdue to get many out into our rural communities, we really appreciate the reverse-path auction through the fcc. missouri was awarded $254 million of that. it's going to connect 95,000 homes to high-speed internet. and we just really appreciate it. missourians appreciate what you're doing on their behalf to make their rural communities vibrant again, and to help the agriculture industry pass on to that next generation of farmers and ranchers. pres. trump: great. well, it's my honor. and you have a great race going on out there. ms. chinn: we do. pres. trump: and that will make a big difference. a very positive difference, the outcome. i won't say it because i'm not a political person, so i won't discuss that. [laughter] i won't discuss that in front of the press, okay? go ahead. how about yourself? ms. cundiff: that's funny. so missouri is well represented here. again, i'm from st. charles, missouri, representing the community banki

not an attack on trump. i think trump is right in a thematic sense. but you wouldn't elect trump unless you really really wanted to send the message. happy countries don't elect donald trump. the messages, the people in charge on both sides screwed up. >> sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span's q&a. c-span studentcam video competition is in full swing. this year's question is, what does it mean to be american? students and teachers from around the country have taken to social media, boasting about their entries. this teacher tweeted, with cakeg federalism in ap government as we work on our c-span studentcam documentary. centralthanks to our middle school, showcasing their studentcam project. this high school teacher tweeted, civic students kicking off their final project. answering the question, what does it mean to be an american? harrisburg academy teacher tweeting, g-7 students on an outing thursday morning. they were able to get pictures for their c-span classroom studentcam documentary. year, we are asking middle and high school students to prod

and he was donald trump really before donald trump. he focused on illegal immigration as an issue and took it national really. and he was one of the first to endorse trump. the question will be whether trump's coattails are long enough to pull him over in the senate race against bob casey. it looks like they're not at the moment. >> when you talk to trump voters for your book and i guess it was several months ago you were last able to check in with them for the book. of the 12 in your focus group only one trump voter was in doubt about donald trump at this point. >> right. i checked in with them much more recently even after the book closed, i've been in touch with them informally. and that number still holds. of the 12 i profiled, 11 say that if the election were to be held -- the 2020 election were to be held tomorrow they would enthusiastically vote for trump. only one has slipped into the undecided, as you mentioned. i guess the question becomes both for the midterms and 2020 is what is the ceiling on trump's base. >> is it a ceili

only one thing, letting donald trump and men like donald trump get away with everything. joining us is former deputy assistant attorney general elliot williams. elliot, we can put back up that ad. this says bring back the death penalty. bring back our police just to show that donald trump is consistent over time. he hasn't changed at all. he made a statement way late. fast forward to october of 2016. this was donald trump's statement about the central park five. this is him as a presidential candidate. they admitted they were guilty. the fact that the case was settled with so much evidence against them was outrageous. that is donald trump still saying the central park five were still guilty. so donald trump and due process really haven't met. >> i know exonerated. but i think they got a $41 million settlement. so the courts have blessed their position on this. so there are all kinds of inconsistencies with how the president of united states treats due process and people's entitlement of due process. immigration, the entire immigration policy of this administration has bee

because he worked for donald trump, even though he said should trump run was independent of donald trump. >> there 2011, they ruled in cohen's favor, a win, another way of proving his loyalty. >> the way he initially described it to me was a father-son relationship, and when i asked him, why he has blind loyalty, he always threw the question back to me, would you do this for your father? >> at the end of the day, only people donald trump really considered family, anyone who considers themself to be almost a trump family member should really think about it. >> he fought for his boss by aggressively attacking donald trump's enemies, real or perceived. >> a war of words between a beauty queen and organizers of the miss usa pageant. rigged. just after the 2012 miss usa pageant, they claimed finalists were predetermined. >> i want the truth to be made known. >> he spoke with cohen's about his daughter's claims, and he said cohen is belligerent. >> it's absolutely terrifying to get you on the phone and intimidate you, but part of what a lawyer in that position is supposed to do is intimidating

nor does donald trump. but there's so much evidence that michael cohen was a fixer for donald trump and so many accusations around payoffs related to donald trump including that tape recording if you remember about karen mcdougal. >> that lanny davis played. >> that lanny davis played. certainly there's a lot of indication that this was the relationship between donald trump and michael cohen. what stands up in court is a different story, but we know michael cohen has been talking to investigators. >> as a former fed you know what you feds can do to people. eli stokols, can trump distance himself any more from cohen? has obviously just decided he's going to weaponize this witness. >> yeah, he's decided this is the response to all of the investigations, to fight these legal battles in the court of public opinion and to just trash everybody who is coming after him, and now that includes michael cohen. as maya said, the credibility of both these guys is not that great, but if you just take what the president sa

. >> president trump, yeah. and the idea that he's already making excuses before the facts are known, it's typical but it hurts us internationally. >> ann. >> well, there is quite a lot there. certainly the saudi context is a little different than some of trump's other dalliances shall we say with autocrats, putin and kim, principally because republican and democratic administrations before his have been accused of coddling the saudis who do produce an enormous share of the world's oil, have an enormous share of the world's oil reserves and spread their money wide and wisely if their goal is to keep other governments accountable to them or in their debt. but what trump is doing here i think is really interesting. you saw him shift today. you played some of it earlier from a kind of a shrug no one really know what is happened, we have to wait and see, who know, it looks bad to today saying that he believes jamal khashoggi is dead and that there need to be some consequences for that the consequences go directly to

of the trump organization. michael cohen had found it. >> it was alluring to be in trump tower. this is a man who idolized him for years before he ended up working there. it was a dream come true. >>> coming up --

trump said. what we are seeing is president trump who is uncharacteristically restrained from the days after she made the allegations is realizing that some supporters agree with him on the fact that they believe there are holes in her memory. the president is making it clear saying his supporters at the rallies are coming to the defense of brett kavanaugh. you see he says voters are really angry at the vicious and despicable way democrats are treating brett kavanaugh. the president made a few comments about christine blasey ford and when he realized it would rev the crowd up, that is when he went on the attack against her. we also saw the president play both sides of this. he stood by brett kavanaugh and said think of your husband and your sons. this could happen to them. then he distanced himself saying iont met this guy a few weeks ago. he is not my friend or anything like that. the politics of this, what the white house is waiting on is for the fbi investigation to come back to see if it reve

there's a lot that we don't know about president trump than donald trump candidate trump in his history with money. so that was really the beginning of us deciding, let's dig deeper. let's try to pull back as many layers of this onion as we can. >> shepard: at one point during the article, you write, "over time as donald trump careened from one financial disaster to the next, his father found ways to give him more money. even in 1990, mr. trump tried to have his father's will rewritten in a way that fred trump alarmed and angered and could result in his empire to be used to bail out his son's failing businesses." >> that was a huge surprising find for us. was what we were seeing is that fred trump through, you know, starting when donald trump was 3 years old and moving forward had been endlessly creative in coming up with new ways to get money into donald trump's pocket. he didn't pay him to be like on his payroll, but he paid him to be his purchasing agent, a consultant. he gave him the laundry revenue from the buildings. even after this incredible generosity from fred trump to donald

trump is entitled to full legal fees. at fox news, great, now i can go after horse face and her third-rate laywyer in the great state of texas. she'll confirm the letter she signed. she knows nothing about me. a total con." horse face. the president of the united states called a woman with whom he had an alleged sexual relationship horse face. unfortunately it's the kind of insult, personal, childish and mean, that people have become so accustom to with this president that it barely registered as news but it renders the first lady's "be best" campaign, anti-bullying effort, pointless and satirical and ivanka's trump stated mission of being an ambassador for women a pointless joke. how could these women or any woman in the white house pretend they work for anyone other than a very loud mouthed and very thin skinned bully? it even shows bashi ining women alleged victim of a sexual assault, is more than a quirk to trump's personality. it's a political strategy he thinks is a winner. >> professor blasey ford got before the se

cohen saying he did so as trump's direction. trump denied having affairs with either women. the public feud between cohen and trump a drastic 180 from the previously ironclad relationship. >> i'll do anything to protect mr. trump. i am obviously loyal and very dedicated to mr. trump. >> reporter: the president defending his former attorney as recently as april after the fbi raided cohen's manhattan home, hotel room, and office. >> i just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys. good man. and it's a disgraceful situation. it's a total witch hunt. i said that is now in a whole new level of unfairness. >> reporter: but as cohen fell deeper into legal trouble, trump began changing his tune. >> mr. president -- >> look, i did nothing wrong. this stuff would have come out a long time ago. i did nothing wrong. >> is he still your friend? >> i haven't spoken to him in a long time. >> reporter: as he awaits sentencing in december, according to his lawyers he is speaking to investigators, including from special counsel robert mueller's office. likely an a

trump is trump. he makes his own decisions. >> what does he say when he calls you? what do you talk about? >> what's that? >> what do you talk about? >> i've talked to him about -- i did "morning joe" a couple days in a row. he called me afterwards to talk about charlie sykes, believe it or not. he's called me about bill shine. bill shine is a friend of mine. he says, what are we doing here? and i gave shine resounding endorseme endorsements. saying the guy is wonderful for the country and for the administration. >> before he got hired or after? >> this was after. >> listen, eric, people should know that you and i have conversations like this before, right? >> yes. >> not on television. what would you have done if the former president would not come on fox news at all, and the former president had endorsed my book or jake tapper's book or anderson's book or, i don't know, rachel maddow's. i'm throwing out people that he won't come on as president. what do you think you would have done and other fox news hosts and conservatives media, what do you think would have hap

trump do not. esther trump's grandfather -- mr. trump's grandfather am a from what i understand, he was on a run from the german prescription into the army. his grandmother was an impoverished scottish refugee looking for a better life in new york. you would expect these people to have a little more compassion, little more realization that immigrants are this good for country and have been good for this country. instead, they've turned this poisonous vilification of people and dehumanizing them. this feeds into the crazy coconspiracy theories that leadd people, these unhinged people to act outand sayoc their own personal inadequacies by being something important through violence. amy: we're going to have to go to break -- >> it is an old story. amy: we're going to go to break and come back to this discussion, dr. david glosser, uncle of stephen miller, speaking to us from philadelphia. he is former faculty member at boboston university scschool of medicine and jeffeferson medical cocollege. hias.a volunteer for jews back in a momom

trump is talking about befriending putin and de-escalating while the rest of the trump administration is trying to crack down on russia. in this case, at least his senior political appointees and people like mike pompeo, as we saw in that remarkable spectacle of his trip to riyadh, seem to be on board with the idea that the u.s. strategic relationship with saudi arabia is too important to be sacrificed over one individual. so maybe there are complaints about trump's tone and the optics of pompeo's trip. but as a matter of policy, i think that people are basically on board. >> ashley parker, that would probably reflect the fact that ideologues like pompeo and bolton and professionals like mattis are losing access to the president and people like h.r. mcmaster has been booted from the ideological foreign policy figures like pompeo and bolton. is that recognized among the staff that could be sitting on a major foreign policy crisis if as michael crowley just insinuated, any sort of dissent leaks out? and having worked in the white house, it always does. >> well, it's not just ideolo e id

the news tonight, as it will be through midterm election night itself, is trump-trump-trump, that's the way he wants it. the question is, how will voters react? calculated, there's no such thing as overexposure, trump's apparent goal now is to dominate the national news, signalling that for better or worse, come november, it's all about trump. in the first 15 days of october, catch this. the president has held eight rallies. that's one more than one every other nate, conducted six major interviews and made him available to answer questions on at least 20 other occasions. and while the president is traditionally opted for favorable platforms like fox, to spread his message, he ventured outside his comfort zone last night appearing on "60 minutes." showing he can stand up to tough questions from a real journalist, leslie stahl. here's how trump, when challenged, declined to single out the russians for their 2016 attack on the integrity of our elections. >> do you believe that the russians interfered in the 2016 campaign -- election? >> they meddled, but i think china meddled, too -- >> wh

trump represents trump. and so even though we've had unified government for the past almost two years, that's a republican senate, republican congress and a republican presidency, at the end of the day, the only person trump really cares about is himself. so he's saying if you all don't win, that's actually not my problem. and so now we're going to saturday seeing some republicans in particular districts saying, well, actually, it is our problem. aren't we a collective? and that's not how trump views his presidency. that's not how he views the party either. >> i think he's actually both right and wrong. so he's wrong in the sense that, you know, many, many voters who are mobilized and enthusiastic see him and the republican party as one and the same. he's tied to the party, but where he is right is that voters who are going to turn out and probably shift the politics in the house in particular in terms of the democrats, they're not turning out as just some knee-jerk reaction to him. they're turning out aroun

president trump: i appreciate it. thank you very much. >> i wanted to say thank you for everything you have done. i know you and the vice president worked really hard, and all these people, and it was really hard, like, my dad being gone, so thank you for bringing him back. president trump: well, you have got great parents, and it's terrific. we will close it out with you and we are so happy. james lankford, go ahead please. sen. lankford: thank you, mr. president. you have faced personal risk to yourself, and this process has been awe-inspiring for many of us to watch as well. we are incredibly grateful for you to be home and we look forward to having a celebration day like this for other americans from turkey who need to come home as well, to be able to finish that out. we look forward to getting those individuals resolved as well and back home. and today we are just grateful after two very long years for you to be home. i look forward to hearing your stories about driving through drive-through zen getting a hamburg

president trump: we do a lot. another administration, like the kavanaugh victory -- it is a victory for the people, not for me. a lot of people would celebrate. we go back to business the next day. nikki and i talked about this a year ago and she really wanted to be here for about two years. we finished a big week last week at the u.n. with a tremendous success. nikki is going to be involved with us for a long time and she is going to help me also make that final pick. i want to get somebody really good. i think she has also brought a new level of prestige to that position. that position is in terms of people want it, easier now than it was before. nicky has brought great confidence and prestige to that position. >> [inaudible] president trump: that is a very good question. how do you keep your base energized now that you have the big kavanaugh victory? i would say just by winning, have to keep winning. we are doing a lot of winning. we are very happy with the u.s. embassy -- i don't want to use the word nafta bec

president trump, including an inflatable trump baby blimp - and if the british disliked trump before he arrived, his visits only made things worse. - the president breached british protocol by publicly disclosing the details of a conversation he had with queen elizabeth. - he broke royal protocol by walking in front of the queen, but she quickly stepped forward to correct the error. - he also today had tea with the queen. he did keep her waiting for ten minutes. - video recorded the very punctual 92-year-old queen checking her watch prior to the president's arrival. - good lord. is there--is there any rule he didn't break? he's like, "president trump in hot water after pushing the queen into the royal swimming pool." for more on trump's u.k. visit, we're joined by an actual british person, gina yashere, everybody. [cheers and applause] gina, in the u.s.-- in the u.s., trump's u.k. visit seemed to not go so well, but as a british person, what do you think? - it was an unmitigated disaster, trevor. this cockwomble--yeah, that's what i called him-- he came--came to our country and insul

donald trump and donald trump jr. are coming to texas. >> betow has to be pretty happy. he will help the congressional candidates. this may help him raise money, too. people will watch that trump junior is coming and they'll give more money to him. >> thanks one and all for being here. how are a extinguished yale alum and fraternity connected to a cartoon about president trump? we'll tell you after this. so you get what you want, without paying for things you don't. number 6. i know. where do i put it? in my belly.

trump: thank you. we had a beautiful ceremony in the white house where we proudly swore in the newest member of the united states supreme court, justice brett kavanaugh. [cheering] pres. trump: he now sits alongside justice neil gorsuch, to defend your rights, your constitution, and your god-given freedom. what the dem -- what the democrats did to justice kavanaugh and his beautiful family is a national disgrace. it is. [booing] pres. trump: the democratic party has become an angry ruthless unhinged mob determined to get power by any means necessary. in this election will decide which party controls congress. americane for every could not be more clear. by the way, i have to thank dean heller for helping us with justice gorsuch and justice kavanaugh. dean heller was there. dean heller was there right from the beginning. mobs.mocrats produce republicans produce jobs. [cheering] pres. trump: hashtag. that is called hashtag. that is a hot one. this november, vote for jobs, not mobs. crying chucksi, schume

donald trump tried to change his ailing father's will. can you tell me a little bit more about that and what that tells you about donald trump and his relationship with his father. >> well, it sort of boils down to never enough. his dad was his first mentor, and he got him started on the idea that what you can get away with is the only thing that matters, you know. there just isn't any other standard. you can get away with it, do it. his dad made a fortune building in the outer boroughs in queens and brooklyn, using government mortgages,abatement, all sorts of assistants and pushed the regulations to the limb, a lit, of unintended consequences he was able to use and exploit to make a fortune. he was never quite indicted, he did get holed up in front of several investigative bodies, but he certainly pushed it to the limit and went past the spirit of those various government programs, and donald was watching. he was a really good apprentice. >> david was wondering is any of this prosecutable now, the answer is no because the statute of limi

trump in your living room. trump press conferences. more trump rallies. more trump press conferences. just moments ago, another press conference this time as the president met with officials in georgia while touring the damage from hurricane michael. later this week we've gtot a trump in waco. >> a vote for cindy is a vote for me. >> a vote sfor steve is a vote for me. a vote for david is a vote for me in our agenda to make america great again. >> you could argue that republicans are poised to lose control of congress because of trump. and there are signs of a huge spike in midterm voter turn outamong grououts that aren't known as big trump fans. 81% of democrats say they are certain to vote which is up nearly 20 points compared to the 2014 midterms. the turnout from younger voters could spike by 25 points. it's the same with minorities. however democrats are seeing flashing warning signs when it comes to latino voters. still the plight facing republicans right now is largely because of trump. yet they see the solution to that problem as largely more trum

trump: nice man. the casualties of the democrats open border crusade are really a lot and far more than anyone would know of innocent american families and lives. democrat immigration policies allow poisonous drugs and ms 13 killers to pour into our country. these are not people that you don't want to have ice around. ice goes into the nests like it is a day in the office. even tough guys here, you don't want to do it. she has done it, she said. if you did it, you didn't do it by choice. she said, no i didn't. what is this story all about? come on up your -- no, i'm kidding. sanctuary cities and this is what happens, they release violent predators out of jail and straight into your communities, and then they are protected. they are protected people. a democrat victory in november would be a bright, flashing invitation to every human trafficker, drug trafficker -- think of it. human trafficking is the highest it has ever been in the history of this world. that is because of the internet. you wouldn't t

president trump: yes. because our justice department and fbi played right into their hands with the stupid investigation or whatever you call it. people say i'm not under investigation. i'm not a target of this investigation which nobody likes to say. but it played into their hand. if they want to sow chaos. they got it for nothing. we did it to ourselves. the chaos, the stupid chaos. it hasn't been talked about for a long time because people don't believe it. who is going to believe i call russia to give me help. and everyone does say, richard bird, they asked him, he's the head of the senate intelligence. they asked, did you see collusion in he says no, i didn't see collusion. but he said there was no collusion. as you know, the house, devin nunes, they came out with a ruling there was no collusion. but richard bird, they asked during the bloods in north and south carolina. they said what about this committee? he said we have found no collusion. trish: collusion aside. the concern is putin and the folks

i think donald trump gets that. he changed the towels out because he wanted them to be softer, because they weren't as soft as the towels that were on his trump plane. >> well, towels and thread count, those are important things. >> it's air fun

to take advice from. >> in march of 2016, trump asked manafort to join the campaign. >> i've known trump of 30 years, and when somebody started talking about the need to bring in additional people to deal with this process, friends from not the political realm, even, he listened, and then he reached out. >> manafort was back in the spotlight, but few around him knew he was in desperate need of millions of cash, just to stay afloat. to that end, as prosecutors would later discover, manafort had been submitting fraudulent loan applications to several banks, which would ultimately net him $20 million in loans. >> you'd think he could have just sold off some assets or changed his lifestyle to be spending less, but the fact that he didn't really shows just how much a part of his identity this high flying lifestyle had become. >> soon after joining the campaign, manafort reportedly e-mailed an intermediary for the russian oligarch still looking to know what happened to his nearly $19 million investment with manafort. >> once manafort started working for trump, there were messages that he sent

comparing trump rival ted cruz's wife heidi to melania trump. in august trump attacked his former staffer omarosa and praising john kelly for firing that dog. it's the language that has defined trump's language on women including hillary clinton, rosie o'donnell. >> when you looked at that horrible woman last night, you said, i don't think so. >> he called this woman miss piggy. >> she was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight. it was a real problem. >> rosy is an unattractive person. rosy is a slob. >> they said he invaded her space. i invaded her space. believe me, the last space that i want to invade is her space, believe me. >> donald trump said the following about you, quote, look at that face, would anyone vote for that? can you imagine that the face of our next president? >> i think women all over this country heard clearly what mr. trump said. [ applause ] >> in an interview with the associated press late today, president trump defended his comments about stormy daniels. asked if it was appropriate to comment on a woman's

[indiscernible] president trump: i did. president trump: i did. i thought you was fantastic. i thought the first lady was fantastic last night. i hope i do as well on 60 minutes tomorrow. if i don't, that's ok. reporter: what about secretary mnuchin's comments? >> we need to evaluate the facts and make the decision. i talked to secretary mnuchin last night. we will be taking a look at it throughout the week. reporter: talk about the sanctions. president trump: we were tough on turkey and the was absolutely no deal made. the only deal was a psychological one. we feel much different about turkey today than we did yesterday, and i think we have a chance of really becoming much closer to turkey, and maybe us even having a very good relationship. we know the people, and these are incredible people. the people of turkey are incredible people, and i think we have a chance now to really have a great relationship with turkey. i hope that happens, ok? richard, do you have anything to say, richard burr? senator burr: we welcome the pastor back to north carolina. he has been missed. but

trump is playing to that. you've seen republicans and democrats in different eras have to deal with this. this is the some brilliant strategy of it begins with trump. it's something i think that he has voiced in a way we haven't seen from american presidents in some time. certainly not from republicans. the republican party very much at one point, think about bob dole basically said the races have no place in the republican party. ken melman in 2005, going before the naacp and apologizing to the naacp for playing racial politics oftentimes to the benefit of the republican party. then you have trump basically saying let's try this sort of divisive strategy around race. it just so happened that enough voters and some of these voters voted for barack obama in 2008 and 2012 but also had racially conservative views. in some ways i think he very much played to it to great effect. we'll see how it works. does it keep working? >> i want to play this clip, jon stewart talking about president trump. he says trump is a p

president trump is doing the right thing. to our friends in mexico, if you don't help trump. this caravan you're going to pay a price in congress when it comes to this trade deal. >> laura: lindsey graham, thank you so much. i know you stayed up for us. we really appreciate it and we break down some ugly comments from al sharpton this weekend about president trump's appearance at a turning point usa young black leadership summit. stay there. >> the make america great rally, the use of young blacks as props, which really is an insult to them. >> laura: those while remarks by al sharpton were directed at the attendings of turning point usa's young black leadership summit or president trump gave a speech last week. here to react is cochair of project 21. the reverend al believes that only democrats should have the monopoly on outreach to african-americans. i found out, i got to say -- i shouldn't be surprised but it was still despicable. >> not just the monopoly on outreach, the monopoly on the use of bigoted and racist remarks with every single group. he didn't just attack kany

everybody knows trump lies, everybody knows trump, who he is. you can't point at the bogey man anymore. you've got to give them tangible reasons why they should be afraid on the democratic side. those are some very real reasons. >> you have given out advice that some are ignoring. people ignore donny deutsch at their peril. i'm going to play you a couple of ads that democrats are basically doing that, obsessing over trump, take a look. >> barbara comstock might as well be barbara trumpstock. barbara trumpstock agrees, voting with trump 98% of the time. >> how much was your tax cut? >> it was not a lot. >> for someone like side table, not a lot is quite a bit. ♪ 99 bottles of beer on the wall 99 bottles of about beer ♪ >> how often does mimi walters vote with donald trump? 99% of the time. >> i'm making a different point. in districts that are clearly anti-trump, you attach yourself, you got more trump, you don't want that. republicans, you you attach to trump if it's working. i'm talking about ads that are saying, donald trump is a liar, and

all praise donald trump. donald trump is smart, he's strong, he's somebody who knows what he's doing. brett kavanaugh in his supreme court nomination speech, odd that that even happened, said it was the greatest honor of my life that donald trump bestowed this on me. these are all people who say nice things about him. he's very simple in that way. you say nice things about him, he says nice things about you. doesn't ov don't overthink it. >> coming up, tax particulcticsn projects failed. >> and now former trump lawyer michael cohen is planning to go after the president politically. what cnn is learning about his plan to hit the campaign trail with democrats. and after roseanne barr's departure, we finally now how the network wrote her off. s on , every day... not just "airline purchases." (loud) holy moley that's a lot of miles!!! shhhhh! what's in your wallet? - shhhhh! - where are mom and dad? 'saved money on motorcycle insurance with geico! goin' up the country. love mom and dad' i'm takin' a nap. dude, yo

it helps all of us. >>> we're following multiple trump stories, while leaving the white house, trump said he's not satisfied with the explanation from the saudis. earlier his son-in-law jared kushner said it's important to maintain the saudi alliance. so we're hearing these mixed messages from the administration on saudi arabia. what exactly is their position? >> wolf, i don't begrudge anybody for being a little bit confused here, it's been a bit all over the place, and it has sort of evolved and backtracked several times, but as you just pointed out, there's no better description of a mixed message than literally in the same day two different messages coming up. the president saying he's not satisfied with the explanation, while it seems that his senior adviser and son-in-law jared kushner was sort of in the time buying phase for the u.s. and the saudis, while calling it a fact-finding mission. but to complete a fact-finding mission is different from coming up with the judgment that what they have done up to date is still unsatisfactory. but there's no doubt that the messages are mi
