attorney and senior fbi official chuck rosenberg told my colleague nicole wallace on friday. >> the president of the united states is echoing directly the line of the kremlin on a bunch of things. so whether or not it results in an indictment, whether or not it's something we ultimately can see, touch, feel, and hear this is something u.s. intelligence officials have to understand. why is the president saying what he's saying? is he just wrong? does he actually believe it? or is something being fed to him with the intent of shaping his conduct, shaping his words and shaping his actions? >> joining me now is timothy o'brien, author of "trump nation," clint watts, former fbi special agent, and jill winebanks, former assistant watergate prosecutor. clint, even the "wall street journal" which is usually trump-friendly, their editorial board slammed this weird defense of the soviet invasion of afghanistan called it cracked afghanistan history and saying, right to be there? we can't recall a more absurd misstatement of history by an american president. the soviet union invaded afghanistan in 1979 t

. >> nicole wallace, veteran of so many gop efforts, among them bush and mccain, welcome to you. robinson, a pulitzer prize winner and pulitzer board business, a series of awards they hand out, you might have heard of them. eugene, truth be told, you're the one who wrote is the stop trump movement too late? >> it's true. i tried to crunch the numbers, i tried to do the math. we all expect trump to have a big night tonight. and then we go into the five northeastern states next week where he's expected to do well, so far as there is polling he's way, way ahead. so he's going to have a delegate haul. he could be 400 delegates ahead of ted cruz. a couple of weeks from now. and so then, you know, the sort of percentage of delegate that is he needs to win, well, he needs to win 68% of remaining delegates! that keeps going down. and it starts looking more likely that he gets to the number, or that he gets close enough so that uncommitted delegates can be persuaded to vote for him, so that the party eld elders, those who remain, the remains of the establishment -- >> i think that's us. >

rachel and i are back with our friends, nicole wallace and eugene and i want to let you guys toss this around. the optics of what we've witnessed tonight, not only the discussion here in the studio, but the optics of sanders getting on a plane, leaving the press corps here. it's his charter, he's entitled to do what he wants, and going home to burlington, right now at this point. >> i would lump it together with the optics of ted cruz giving a speech in the 8:00 hour, and my, what a difference two weeks makes. two weeks ago tonight, we were talking about their whopper victories in wisconsin. i have been on both ends of this. and to pay it back to chuck todd, i think he was right. you've got to give jeff weaver credit for leaving himself a little bit of room. the truth about the sanders campaign is that they probably don't know what happens next. i'm guessing there are some conversation happening. and i'm just guessing. as you said, i'm an outsider observing this democratic race. but i would bet that that's not the only idea about how to proceed. and when you're on a losing campaign, yo

nicolle wallace and i were having that earlier about this idea. she believed that trump was going to recalibrate some things and people around him. nothing about this statement says recalibration. right. nothing about this statement and this is more about mast performance indicative of future behavior and i think this is not a guy that you see pivoting toward presidential like more of a traditional presidential like thing. you don't see a candidate ready to pivot to being try fog unite the party and above it all you wouldn't use lyin' ted. barbara, help me out. what does the next three days look like for donald trump let alone the next two weeks. >> i've been reading this. it's not just about lyin' ted and trojan horse but party bosses and talking about stealing the nomination. making statements that will alienate him. the next few days, california, later in lyle. >> is he still going to try to go to colorado? ther)e was some talk with all these different places for the unbound delegates, i know that there was some talk that he would actually do

we're joined by our family. >> small dream. >> nicolle wallace, lawrence o'donnell, ben ginsberg, nicolle, this statement by donald trump, we've read it twice in the last couple of hours. >> yes. >> because it is getting a lot of attention and keeping with all aspects of the trump campaign. there's flashes of anger and bitterness and vintage throwback old-style donald trump. >> and, listen, i have been inside campaigns in crisis. you both covered them. and this statement to me tells the whole story about what i think a lot of us know to be happening inside trump world. there had a tension around donald trump among those who would like him to pull it in a little bit who think his finer moments were moments when he showed he could read from a teleprompter. were the moments where he stood in front of the flags and acted like he was inching towards something we could call more presidential. then there are people who enable trump to be trump and the reason that the people who enable trump to be trump are winning is because trump thinks that being himself is what got him here. it is very diffic

. >> former vice-president joe biden spoke with nicolle wallace today. besides calling on attorney general bill barr to resign, he also talked about the race for the democratic nomination. >> are you ready to take on mike bloomberg's money in the super tuesday states should you win in south carolina? >> well, the answer is any one of those states from north carolina to georgia to the whole range of them have significant minority populations. and right now that poling data shows i'm doing incredibly well in all those states, including texas and florida as it relates to the primary. but also as it relates to the general election. >> that's an important point. while a lot of people have been quick to pronounce the biden campaign over, the reality is his campaign is no more dead than senator elizabeth warren's because almost no one has voted yet. as lovely as they are, they are not representative of the democratic party, almost entirely dependent of people of color. we don't know if joe biden is viable yet until those voters have their say. one of those stat

so, donna, our mutual friend jason johnson was on with our mutual friend nicole wallace this afternoon. i'm going to play for you to explain some unreferenced michael bloomberg mentions he has picked up in life. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> the story that i am hearing, it's not just from older people is, if joe biden fall, if he stumbles, black voters are desperate to get donald trump out of office. that is the number one driving force and many of them are saying i will support mike bloomberg because they want to see trump out of there. i don't think mayor pete or bernie sanders have managed to convince anybody that they can win a general election. >> okay, congresswoman. your thoughts? >> i agree with jason. i've been saying from the beginning a year ago that, you know, the democratic base is black voters, particularly black women, and the candidates started off with this idea that they were going to reach out to black voters. it quickly disappeared from iowa and new hampshire. they register almost no support among black voters. that's very problematic. it's your job to r

i'm nicole wallace in for brian williams tonight. have a great evening. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. at this hour, president trump is back in his hometown here in new york city for the first time since becoming president. the president set to speak on board the "uss intrepid," an aircraft carrier turned museum docked off the west side of manhattan after meeting with australian prime minister malcolm turnbull. we will be monitoring that speech and bring you any news from it. we are also keeping an eye on the printouts outside the trump event. this was a scene outside just a moment ago. protesters chanting "shame" at people entering the trump event following today's house vote to repeal and replace obamacare. it was a vote the republicans have been dreaming about and talking about for years. and as democrats were all too happy to point out, it was one they may come to deeply regret. earlier today, after narrowly passing their wildly unpopular health care bill through the house of representatives, 217-213 votes, hous

i think it was nicole wallace who said, donald trump doesn't play chess. he plays whacka mole. he has a chance for a win and number two, he had a chance . in terms of long term, a long term pivot. i can't believe how many pundits still talking about whether or not this president will pivot. no question frrgs the point of view of republicans and conservatives, this was a big defeat and it sets the stage for a lot more defeats. how will nancy and chuck use their new clout? how far will they push? how far will the democratic base allow them to go in enabling the trump presidency? >> one thing that i think. my read on trump was that part of his genius in the primary. i think it was intuitive to. realize the republican base didn't care about things they cared about. like big government. he got into office and started doing ryanism. no. the whole point is they don't care about that. the base doesn't care -- >> the base does care about liberal tiers. the base doesn't gary. at a cuts for corporations. it cares about the wall. it cares about nativism and it cares about making people lik

i'm alicia menendez in for nicolle wallace. senate democratic leader chuck schumer is putting the white house, its budget office, and the state department on notice, demanding they hand over vital documents related to the impeachment inquiry. schumer writes there simply is no good reason why evidence that is directly relevant to the conduct at issues and the articles of impeachment should be withheld from the senate and the american people. to oppose the admission of this evidence would be to turn a willfully blind eye to the facts, it would clearly be at odds with the obligation of senators to do impartial justice according to the oath we will take in the impeachment trial. schumer also raises the need for witnesses to appear in the trial. it's another point of contention this afternoon. speaker nancy pelosi holding onto the articles passed by the house in order to ensure a fair trial. but senate majority leader mitch mcconnell seems like he's trying to call her bluff. >> first things first. are you surprised you haven't been
