| 0:00.0 | Tonight, 138 days until the midterm elections, we're watching a president adrift. |
| 0:07.0 | New emerging details of what he's calling the Trump deal look a lot like he's losing a war and stamping his name on it. |
| 0:14.0 | Plus, Trump blew up his own Director of National Intelligence Nominees confirmation hearing today |
| 0:19.0 | as part of a half-baked pressure campaign |
| 0:21.6 | to get congressional Republicans to back, among other things, a voter suppression bill that he |

| 1:30.0 | since the entire 14-point document was read to reporters by a senior U.S. official. |

| 1:40.5 | that Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of in 2018. |
| 1:44.1 | The key terms are an immediate halt to |
