i don't think mike pence is expressing his anger to donald trump, i think mike pence was expressing his anger to flynn, and the way i heard it over the last couple days is that even after this was proven, flynn still wouldn't give him a full apology. flynn was just saying this could have been a mistake in my recollection, and i think that's what pushed pence. and we should say pence is a remarkably slow man to anger, as we have seen. >> no, he's calm. >> that is really what pushed him. i think that, in addition to the headline that came out yesterday about the fbi investigation, i think trump -- your reporting is absolutely right. i think trump was totally willing to wait this out. he was in no rush to get rid of flynn. in fact, the main reason he didn't want to get rid of flynn is it looks bad getting rid of your national security adviser three weeks into the game, not because of any special loyalty. but once these headlines started piling up, he had pence on his back, i think that made it all inevitable. >> you write the front page stories for usa today. is the big story here that fly

all of which makes mike pence, mike pence, the most dangerous man in donald trump's life and at some point even donald trump will realize that. while donald trump was at home in florida today, mike pence was in brussels looking and sounding presidential in the republican sense, at least. and mike pence was asked a question that no other vice president has been asked. >> who should european leaders listen to, you or president trump? >> imagine how a question like that drives donald trump crazy. who should we listen to? who is the real president of the united states? is it mike pence? and that question is not going away. what makes mike pence the most dangerous man in the world for donald trump is that mike pence is a standard issue republican president. a no drama republican president. someone who world leaders would be completely comfortable with. they've all dealt with a version of mike pence in the presidency before. and mike pence would be a president that most republicans in the house and the senate would be more comfortable with. he's one of them. what an incompetent, incoherent

failed to tell mike pence director mike flynn did speak with the russian ambassador about sanctions about sanction president slapped on them for interfearing with our elections. the vp only learned the truth five days ago. which raises the question what was trump and flynn talking all the this time. after he called russian was trump in co hoops with flynn, was he open up this all by himself. sean spicer confirmed reports that the acting general told -- white house does not believe flynn did anything that constituted a legal violation. let's watch. >> the acting attorney general informed white house counsel that they wanted to give "heads up" to us in comments he had sent to the vice president in particular. the white house counsel involved the president immediately. president asked him to conduct a review whetherhere was legal situation. that was determined it wasn't. the president believe at the time what he had been told. he was proved to be correct. it came down to matter of trust. >> that's not a problem that general flynn discussed sanctions with russia. >> i cannot say clearly enoug

it >> mike: absolutely. he understands it from the depths, not just because he was an orthopedic surgeon, but because he combined those skills and he spent a lot of time talking to doctors all over the country and hospitals. i think he is one the most knowledgeable people. >> melissa: most of the reforms have to do with not forcing a mandate, not making people buy more coverage than they need. that takes a lot of money out of the system. so then, how do you pay for the people who use a lot? one of his ideas has to do with fooling those people across state lines, but if we're going to be directing government funds somewhere, direct the funds at people with pre-existing conditions as opposed to forcing people to buy more insurance than they need and subsidizing that. that doesn't help anyone. >> mike: is the only way can work. because you have to pull the very high-risk, high cost people out of the system, otherwise the system collapses within itself. you cannot pay enough money and premium for that to work. >

we're going to find out about mike pence's influence depending on the future of mike flynn. i don't want to get dogged down now, but that's going to tell us a lot. >> the thing that is hard is she's right, he could bring in a more experienced quote/unquote team, it doesn't matter what brings in if he doesn't listen to them. and that's always the danger. he could surround himself with the most, the james bakers of the world, people who have done this in republican circles for a very long time, if ultimately they say, mr. president, can you not just watch cable and then tweet at night. or very early in the morning. and he says, i got to be me, which the campaign would suggest that's his mo, and he's a 70-year-old man who i don't think is going to change how he operates, it doesn't matter who -- >> he's also personalized that he's been talking about so-called judges and doing things that are making it personal and making it hard for him to give this up. >> the irony is his best 11 days in the campaign with the 11 days that they seem to take away his phone. tweeting. the last 11

we go to mike tobin, and chicago with an inside look. mike. >> to start to understand the violence, you need to understand that for a young man living in these troubled neighborhoods, if he had a reputation for backing up a lot of kills, hurting a lot of people, he is intimidating. in that world, that translates to power and respect. >> you are cutting a gun right now, aren't you? >> i always carry one. this man said he became active with the black disciples at age. >> no one formerly joins a gang, the young man i started with just started hanging around gangs mostly for protection going to school. they got their first gun as preteens, usually a gift. >> i looked at it like i was love simple fact that they wanted to see me protected, they wanted to protect my life. >> gunfire linked to gangs as part of every day on the south and west side. just this week, three children were killed by stray bullets. the police superintendent continues to cry out for tougher sentencing. >> we need to create a culture of accountability of picking up a gun

mike pence was going on television on january 15th, asked mike flynn if he, in fact, had conversations about sanctions, critical sanctions the obama administration put on russia because of allegations of meddling in the u.s. elections. and he was told no. that's what mike pence reported on television. then fast forward about two weeks ago, the justice department warned the white house that because of these conversations, mike flynn could be compromised and be in a position of being blackmailed, according to a source. and then things got even more complicated, if you see the february 8th, 9th, 10th and so forth it was mike flynn's story changing. did he actually talk about sanctions with the russians? did he not? he told reporters and people in the white house, yes, and then said, oops, maybe i'm misremembering that. that really is what all culminated in what happened last night in the fact that that discussion that he had with mike pence, the vice president of the united states told him he didn't talk about sanctions and later throughout the several weeks after that said, oh, maybe i d
