big money contacts on the outside, sheldon adelson really likes him, but he's very close to the mercers, particularly rebecca mercer who funded breitbart. >> and helped fund a lot of donald trump's campaign, installed steve bannon into that position along with kellyanne conway. tell me about your reaction to the head of fox news advising the president on who should be inside his white house? >> no surprise at all that someone from fox news would be advising a republican president or republican presidential candidate. there's a long tradition of that, the late roger ailes did it all the time. he ran fox news before he was pushed out in the sexual harassment scandal. rupert murdoch has run media companies. as sort of his portfolio he's advised presidents throughout the world, australia, britain and the united states. he had a relationship with reagan. it is no surprise whatsoever that he is advising trump. the intensity of the relationship as glenn and maggie have reported. is a touch surprising to me, it's just -- it's a weekly thing apparently. i think glenn would know better about that

and one of the gop's biggest donors, las vegas billionaire sheldon adelson declaring his support for mcmaster. yesterday mcmaster repeatedly dodged questions from my colleague chuck todd about his relationship with bannon. >> can you and steve bannon still work together in this white house or not? >> i get to work together with a broad range of talented people, and it is a privilege every day to enable the national security team. >> you didn't answer. can you and steve bannon work in that same white house? >> i am ready to work with anybody who will help advance the president's agenda and advance the security, prosperity of the american people. >> do you believe steve bannon does that? >> i believe that everyone who works in the white house, who has the privilege, the great privilege every day, of serving their nation, should be motivated by that goal. >> wow. following those notable non-answers, tonight there's new reporting on bannon's future at the white house. and trump allies' foreshadowing of a shake-up. and that is thing 2. in 60 seconds. >>> "the new york times" reports late

we're in sheldon, which is small community in northeast houston. and although the water's receding here, i'm literally looking at the neighborhood across the street. i can see them air flighting someone out of their home. so it's water off of what we call cq boulevard. it's almost like a lake has formed within the community. >> hmm. you were a college student in new orleans when katrina hit and you had to evacuate then. >> i was. >> do you -- can you compare the two? are they different storms? is this one worse? >> i don't know if i can say which one is worse, but my perspective is different now. i was able to escape new orleans although it was the last minute. and now, i'm trapped inside without power, i don't know what's going on on the outside. so i don't -- i'm uncertain. that's a little bit scary. i don't know what's going to happen till daybreak versus katrina, i was able to get out of the city. it took us maybe eight to ten hours to go from new orleans to lafayette and we were able to go home. so we were able to be of help in a different lig

as senator sheldon whitehouse explained. >> if there's been a legal violation here, and this is very strong indications that there has, then you're dealing with things like indictments and the house potentially beginning impeachment proceedings, and -- people having to start talking under oath instead of just, you know, talking out into the airwaves, where they lie as easily as they breathe. >> seth: i don't think trump lies as easily as he breathes, i think lying is his breathing. inhale oxygen. exhale "1.5 million people came to my inauguration." [ laughter ] trump lies like a whale coming up for air. >> i'm like a smart person. [ laughter and applause ] >> seth: so now -- so now with the stakes getting higher, the attempted explanations coming from trump's team, for don jr.'s meeting with the russians are once again changing and getting increasingly ridiculous. remember, trump and his team argued for months that there was absolutely no contact, let alone collusion with russian agents. but now that the don jr. email is out, they've shifted to a new story, that if there was collusio

and today sheldon, among others, endorsed mcmaster, hanson, i just don't see anyone of a responsible position on the record attacking h.r. mcmaster. >> he's getting attacked by breitbart news. >> i think there will be a continuing rift as long as steve bannon is in the west wing. we saw his removal from the national security counsel, essentially sidelining him. it seemed through many of the reported anecdotes he was essentially spending time on his phone and former chief of staff reince priebus' office because he didn't have many allies. it goes back to the earlier segment, he represents this base that donald trump doesn't want to offend. so that's why he continues to stay. >> there's all this palace intrigue that's still happening. john kelly was supposed to tamp down on that, and get order in the white house. since he's been there, there's threat of war, essentially nuclear war with north korea. there's been the threat of sending troops to venezuela. there was this weekend's instances where the president failed to forcefully condemn the kkk. >> right. >> what's going on with kelly?
