  Speaker 1: Here we go, Joe July employment figures populating. Buckle up
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: on this one minus minus twenty three thousand on non
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: farm payrels. I can hear the bott meals falling right now,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: minus twenty three thousand. That would be the second worst
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: number of the year outside of the only other negative number,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: minus one fifty six in February.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Hi again everyone, it's five o'clock in the east and unexpected,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: very disappointing jobs report out this morning showing a slump
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: in the job market. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to make
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: ends meet with the high price of gas and groceries.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Even Trump voters are now publicly disillusioned with what they're seeing.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like life is affordable in general right now?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Grocery it is not. I'm on a fixed income. If
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: we have doctor's appointments, maybe we'll have to do with
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: something else. Food is It's getting outrageous with.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Going up, gas going up, groceries going up.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Two people struggling to live in a house and we're
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: barely scraping by.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: It comes to me like it's the big, big hotshots,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: the big corporations, the big.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: The billionaires are all getting the money and we're just
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: being stuck under one hundred days out from the midterm
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: elections in November, and Donald Trump is struggling mightily on
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: his central promise to the country and especially his voters,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that he would deliver better than any Democrat on affordability
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and creating a strong economy. When asked about his party's
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: prospects in November, Trump surprisingly acknowledged voters growing anger, but
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: as to who voters should direct that anger at, be
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: kind to me. M's not his fault. There's a little
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: bit of his sit down interview with punch Bowl News.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: If I don't run, will those people go out and vote?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: And that's the one thing I can tell I'm going
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: to ask him to A lot of them are very angry,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: and Republicans, to be honest with you, I don't know.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're angry a Republicans, but they're not why
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: they're not angry at me, but they are angry at Republicans.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Why would they be angry at Volgans.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're not mad at me, just the Republicans
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: over there who are so independent from me. It's nonsensical.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And the polls tell a very different story. Donald Trump
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: is currently seeing his approval rating hit all time historic
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: lows for him and for any president. The latest Quinnipiac
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: pole finds only thirty two percent of all Americans approve
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: of the job Donald Trump is doing as president. A
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: majority of voters don't believe that Trump is focused on
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the problems facing Americans. New reports and Politico finds that
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Trump is essentially hanging Republicans out to dry politically when
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it comes to his deeply unpopular policies, especially the war
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: with Iran. Quote. The regular messaging guidance the White House
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and other parts of the administration provided to Republicans at
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the start of the war has dwindled to almost no
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: communication at all in recent weeks on how to talk
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to voters about Iran. That's according to six people with
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: direct knowledge of the matter who spoke anonymously. Briefings on
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: campaign trail guidance are scarce and tone deaf. According to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: multiple House Republicans, a tone deaf response from the Trump
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: administration to americans struggles and concerns is where we begin
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the hour. Some of our favorite experts in fronts tucknw's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: senior political columnist and national affairs analyst, John Hollman's back,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: also joining US political analyst and host of the Bulwark podcast.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Tim Miller is back and the host of Politics Nation,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the president of the National Action Network, the reverendow Sharp,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and it is here Tim, I I kind of love
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if it's cognitive dissonance. That might
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: seem like too big of an assumption to make about
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: his cognitive capacity, but I love the I don't know
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: why they're mad at Republicans. They're off here doing whatever
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: they do when they're literally crying as they fall in
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: line behind Donald Trump on the Senate floor today. Yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Who are the people that he's talking to also, take
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: on the mar A Lago pool deck, they're mad at
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Republicans about him on as.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: The Omelet bar. Yeah, the people that he sees like
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: while he's putting.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're seeing focus groups from the Texas pri I
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: just this is like just a classic Trump only megalomania story. Honestly,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: it's this is he doesn't care about these people. He
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: doesn't really care what the ne terms. In a different interview, yes,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I believe it was Fox yesterday. They were kind of
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: asking him a similar line of questioning about whether he's
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: going to be out there during the midterms. He's like,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I'm out here now in Nevada, right, I don't have
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: to be it seems like a waste of my time.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: He was very dismissive about this campaign event, which was
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: a disaster in its own right in Nevada yesterday, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: he just he's moved like he doesn't care about them,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: And it's an easy story to tell Himself's comforting story
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: to tell himself. The people still like him. They're mad
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: at these other amorphous Republicans. He can't answer Jake's follow
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: up question because like, what would even the substance of
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: answer be. I guess maybe that they're not giving him
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: what they want on the Save Act. I'm just like
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: trying to put myself in his warped brain, which is
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: very challenging. But you know, the Republicans are doing everything
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: they want besides the Save Act. I guess.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Halman, let me read you this Axios reporting. The headline
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: is great. Behind the curtain Trump's quicksand but they just
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: describe is like, I don't want to insult van of White,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: but it makes him sound like like someone just sort
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: of pointing to the letters top congressional Republicans tell us
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Trump's unpopularity points toward the likely loss of the House
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and perps the Senate. But an eighty year old man
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: who made the greatest comeback in American political history appears
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: too proud, too stubborn, and undisciplined to change, Republicans privately
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: admit so. Rather than face the issues, Trump often pivots
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to showing visitors renderings of the new White House ballroom
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: or a model of the planned triumphal arch. He showcases
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: his new air Force One, touts his plans for Dullest
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and obsesses about the helipad being built on the celtlne.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I missed that he was. He was tearing a part
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Dullest Airport. Is that part of his vanity tour? Has
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: he ever even landed there? I missed that. I miss that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, he's doing there, doing this big runo at Dullest. Now, Nicole,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: I think it's fair to say that's one of the
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: few things that anybody who's ever flown through Dulles, you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: It's one of the few things that Will Trump has
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: proposed that I can get behind. I'm not sure it's
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: going to be done well. Or it's going to be
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: worth the money that they're going to spend on it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: But you know, those those those moving buses that take
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: you from the interimal the outem those are horrible. And
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: it was one of the things that Trump focused on.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Say, Trump laws and like wants to fix it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Trump Trump just you know, Trump just wants to leave
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: as many possible imprints as possible on Washington, d C,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: in the surrounding environment, in the hope that when the
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Democrats get back into power next and they do the
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: systematic cleanup where they metaphorically and literally rip Trump's name
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: off of everything that it's been attached to and tear
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: down every ridiculous thing that he's every monument he's erected
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: to himself. He's trying to figure out some way maybe
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: there'll be a small plaque at Dullest that will still
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: have his name on it. And he's thinking, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: I got I gotta just I gotta lay my bets everywhere, right,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: because I understand what's coming. I did want to say,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: it's been a little while since I've been on television
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: with Tim Miller. I thought, for a moment, I wanted
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: to do I want to adorse him as uh as
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: you know, was to endorse my friend Michael Wattley for
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: for being uh for congress or governor or whatever it
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: is that Tim's running for.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Because but.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: Would like to discuss That's right, that's but I'm going
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: to make the same mistake four or five times over
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: the course of the of the course of the show
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: where I'm going to have for Heeard it's him as
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Michael Whatley, because you know, my cognitive level has declined
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: rather rapidly, and I'm about to take another one of
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: those camera man television tests. What did you want to
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: talk about, Nicole, certainly not Dullas Airport?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I mean I missed Dullas Airport in his
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you know, rent out obsession. I mean, I I guess
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: what's challenging at this point is that the news is
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: so deadly serious. Bill Cassidy looked tormented. It looked like
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you could see him ripping his own soul out of
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: his chest as he stood there and said, Bill Barr
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: told me that that, you know, I don't know, I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: don't even know what he was saying. Bill var said
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that this was the best we could do. I guess
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: and that this is the time of Trump, and Trump
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: is focused on such inane, idiotic, superficial and stupid stuff,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and it's just a surreal it's a surreal attempt to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: cover the real time destruction of the rule of law,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: which Republicans are not just looking the other way on
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and allowing to happen, but helping happen. I had two
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: federal judges on yesterday talking about the death threats against
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: their kids and spouses. One was Esther Salis, so I
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: think we all know at this point. The other was
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Judge Jack McConnell. And then there's this, I guess interest
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: in covering the stupid crap Trump says in interviews and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the total detachment from the country that he runs. So
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: you can go any which way you want with it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Holman, Well, I'd like to focus on two things, one
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: of which was in that Acxios report where they said
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: that Congression Republicans had decided that Trump was is too stubborn,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: too proud, and too indisciplined to help them in the
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: midterm elections. Basically that was those are the three words
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: that were used. That is the problem with that is
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: that leaves out the most important thing and the thing
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: that apparently still virtually know Capitol Hill Republicans understand, which
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: is that those three things are all true about Donald Trump.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: But the more important thing is that he does not
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: care about them. He does not give a crap about
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: his own party or about trying to help anybody on
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Capitol Hill. He is already, it's evident from the commencies
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: making internalize the notion that Republicans are going to lose
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: the House and Senate. He's trying to already shift blame.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: And that is the key element of this thing he's grasped.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Someone on Fox News said something that is actually also true,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: which is that in years when Trump's name is not
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: in the ballot, Republicans in twenty eighteen, in twenty twenty two,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: and now presumably in twenty twenty six, Republicans are not
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: going to turn out the numbers that they did when
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: his name has been on the ballot. He's now planting
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: that as an excuse for why Republicans are going to
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: lose the fall. He's going to say, they didn't do
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: what I told him to do. They didn't pass the
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Save Act, they didn't get rid of the filibuster, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: the only thing that Republicans care about in the country
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: is me, and so hey, it's not my fault these Republicans.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: I've lost control of the House and Senate and he's
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: just walked away from them in the same way he's
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: walked away from the American people.
