he doesn't let donald trump finish donald trump's thought. that's the most important sentence in what he just said. i thought it would be easier. i thought it was more of a -- feel free to tweet me your guesses about how he was going to finish that sentence before he decided that he shouldn't finish that sentence. whatever he was going to say, donald trump himself decided he shouldn't say it. it was against donald trump's better judgment. imagine, imagine what it had to be for donald trump to think oh, better not say that. he thought it was going to be more of a what? the president gave that interview yesterday. he knew congress would be gone less than 24 hours later, and he would be stuck with his 100 days of zero legislative accomplishments on the donald trump campaign agenda, which was supposed to be the trump presidency's first year agenda. some of it was supposed to be the trump presidency's first day agenda. but just about all of it was supposed to be the trump presidency's first 100-day agenda. a deadline that the president himself imp

i you out to get donald trump? covering, i started donald trump's charitable giving. the local veterans group comes up on the stage and he gives him this huge golf tournament sized check and it says donald j trump foundation on the top and make america great again on the bottom. a $100,000 check and then goes back to his rally. none of them were can i bury donald trump, that is illegal. you're not supposed to be able to use your charity to help with a political campaign. that is money that came out of the 6 million that he said he raised for veterans. that was the impetus going in. trump, but toald just get him for this thing the already told us. we were often looking for evidence that he would tell the truth and we would never find it. how close to the 6 million did he come? how much did he pump in? david: i set out thinking this would be a two or three day story. kali trump campaign manager asked where they gave the $6 million away. of course he must have given the money away. in a day, appen week or a month. after that initial promise that he was going to give the

that's a name that can be very damaging to trump trump. because his entire brand is anti-establishment. and yet he's going up against the genuine anti-establishment members of his own party. if that sticks that could start eroding. >> the idea that donald trump is coming in and cleaning up washington. if now, he allows the tea party to pull the same act on him as they did on eric cantor, saying, no, he's the swamp. we're the ones draining the swamp. doesn't he place himself in a completely untenable position when he wants to do other things like tax cuts? >> yeah, he's put himself in a very difficult position. one of the things we should look at is really who has the leverage and does the freedom caucus have any reason to truly fear donald trump. it was donald trump as the negotiations were going on that capitulated and agreed to the approached health care plan that would drop essential benefits as a way to appease the freedom caucus, and the freedom caucus said we're not down with the program. we're not going to vote for this. he showed h

first trump put him in the epa. but then he offered unsolicited advice so often that after just four weeks on the job, epa chief pruitt shut him out of many staff meetings according to two senior administration officials who talked to "the washington post." so trump found don benton a new job, putting him in charge of administering the military draft if it's ever needed. he was quietly sworn in yesterday despite what "the seattle times" called his almost perfect track record of failure and interpersonal conflict often resulting in legal or disciplinary action at every public position he's held. >>> as far as my taxes are for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...w love. ensure. always be you. thithis is the new new york.e? think again. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment. new lower taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov hi! hey! i've made plans for

trump in a deep hole. the worst aprufl ratings around the 100 half day mark for my president many modern times. 53% disapprove. and as you see in this chart, no other president has been underwhat e like that. the average rating since truman, 69-19. over time, the ratings drift down. they rarely, if ever, go up. right now, 53% think the president is a strong leader. nearly 6 in 10 doubt hid honesty, temperament, empathy, and judgment. 53% move he's not accomplished that much in this first three months. one big bright spot, no buyer's remorse. 96% of supporters stand by their vote. and get this, if a new election were held trump would even beat hillary clinton in the popular vote. that finding is a flashing red light for democrats. we're going the analyze their predicament today, as well. explore whether a president can governor at home when only his base gives him the benefit of the doubt. and what it means with security threats overseas. will the country stand by a controversial president if crisis hits? w

how much does donald trump care? he clearly actually genuinely is fae affected by the images he is seeing out of syria. what does he do about it? does he act soon or does he lose momentum and go on to other things and move on? which sadly is the blueprint of the practice that we have seen over the past few years. >> gordon, let's talk about another crisis. north korea. the president has said recently north korea is china's baby. that's the language he used. in other words, it's their problem. today it is front and center as the president of china comes. what do you expect to see from the first meeting? >> we don't expect to see too much, i think, in terms of substance. the white house on tuesday said there was going to be a framework we establish with china. that means they are kicking the can down the road. the real problem is north korea is our problem. within four years, they will make a nuclear warhead to a missile that will hit the lower 48. that will drive the assistance to north korea. things like the ballisti

president trump digs coal. we're going to unlock our country's amazing natural resources. not just coal, shale, you name it. lower energy costs more jobs, growth and more opportunity for american families and american businesses. and folks, under president donald trump, we're also going to rebuild america. if you haven't noticed it, the american people elected a builder to be president of the united states. and with his hire american/buy american strategy, we're going to give our nation the best roads, the best bridges, the best highways and airports that america has ever had. thanks to president trump, we're going to have jobs and growth and prosperity like never before. but you know, making america great again isn't just about our economy. it also means standing with those who are protecting our communities, our nation and protecting our way of life. you know, i can tell you, i'm with him every day, president trump has no higher priority than the safety and security of the american people. that's why the pres

"the 11th hour" begins now. >>> good evening tonight from washington, d.c. i'm joy reid in -for-brian williams who has the night off. today was day 99 of the trump presidency. trump may have 99 problems but getting the love from his base ain't one. first up, a trip to atlanta for a speech to the national rifle association where trump the president sounded more like trump the candidate serving up that red meat to the crowd. >> november 8th. wasn't that a great evening? do you remember that evening? remember that? and remember they said there is no path to 270. for months i was hearing that. you know, they are trying to suppress the vote. i have a feeling that in the next election you are going to be swamped with candidates. it may be pocahon

meanwhile, donald trump's adult son eric trump cited mounting tensions between the u.s. and russia as evidence that top trump associates were not colluding with russia to sway the 2016 election. in an interview with the telegraph, eric trump said -- "if there was anything that syria did, it was to validate the fact that there is no russia tie." eric trump's comment came as the ap reported donald trump's former campaign manager, paul manafort, will register with the justice department retroactively as a foreign agent for lobbying he carried out between 2012 and 2014 on behalf of of a pro-russian ukrainian think tank. the revelation came a day after a bunk with washington post" reported the fbi obtained a secret fisa warrant to monitor the communications of trump adviser carter page last summer , arguing carter was acting as a russian agent. president trump said he ordered last week's tomahawk missile attack over a dessert of chocolate cake with visiting chinese president xi jinping. trump made the remarks in an interview broadcast wednesday by fox business. pres. trump: w

i don't biggest all trump's -- i don't think it is donald trump's job to change that. if you're white man and you don't like blacks, go take them out for supper. you will work it out. it's the people that need to president. the he can change the divide of race. the people themselves can do that. and they need to try harder. host: what do you think about that? the way people view the president's first 100 days is how they view the president. guest: if you look at the polls, he has high approval among people who voted for him. they look at him and say he is doing stuff and he is trying. to this point that is enough. problem withf the 100 days is you get this mentality that something has been accomplished. you hear in the media the president needs a win. why does he need a win? what happens? he is still president. he is president whether he gets a win or not. if his supporters are happy with his job so far, they can -- let's set 100 days the market like 20 months, which would be next fall. host: i was going to ask of 110 days would be better? guest: 25 months. those are t

., friday but justin amash cast additional shade for donald trump responding to trump's earlier attack on the freedom caucus, for the central role they played in tanking one of trump's key campaign promises to repeal and replace obamacare. on thursday morning, the president tweeted, "the freedom caucus will hurt the entire republican agenda if they don't get on the team and fast. we must fight them and dems in 2018!" trump's declaration of war against the gop's most conservative wing, formerly known as the tea party, prompted this response from amash. "it didn't take long for the swamp to drain real donald trump. no shame, mr. president, almost everyone succumbs to the d.c. establishment." then trump decided to get specific and singled out individual freedom caucus members, meadows, jim jordan and rau labrador. then things got really ugly. trump's social media director took to twitter to summon the power of the trump train to defeet amash in a primary challenge. which might prove a bit tricky because the freedom caucus members were the original anti-government, anti-establishment outsi

so eric trump, or donald trump could say that the missile attack proves that donald trump is independent of vladimir putin. he could have advised donald trump to do the missile attack because he then would be able to say that or have one of his sons say that. we don't know the real motivation of that missile attack by the united states. we only know what donald trump says, and donald trump is a repeated proven pathological liar, so we don't know why that missile strike occurred. here is a bit of an interview with fox news that the network released tonight before showing it in its entirety tomorrow. >> when i see people using horrible, horrible chemical weapons, which they agreed not to use under the obama administration, but they violated it. >> they said they got rid of them. >> what i did should have been done by the obama administration a long time before i did it. and you would have had a much better, i think, syria would be a lot better off right now than it has been. >> makes sense. if you think that makes sense, remember that the same donald trump saw chemical weapons used in syri

and the trump administration fires off a quick response. barbara starr joins us from washington. >> reporter: this happened a short time ago, north korea firing a missile off it's eastern coast, it's not so much about the missile, but the program it represents, the missile was mobile launched, that means it's hard for u.s. satellites to track a mobile launcher and know where it's going to fire from. it had solid fuel on board, again, making it very tough for u.s. satellites to see. this is the program that north korea is working on to try and launch these kinds of missiles, keep them outside the eyes of u.s. spy satellites. this missile flew about nine minutes into the ec, also known as the sea of japan. it didn't go very far, but that's not really the point, it's what it represents. and then we had a really interesting statement from secretary of state rex tillerson, mr. tillerson saying, and i quote, north korea launched yet another medium ranged ballistic missile, the united states has spoken enough about north korea, we have no further

donald trump says get them out of here, and you vote for donald trump. why vote for donald trump? >> this is the first time i've ever confsed publicly i've ever voted for him. i've dodged the question for a few months. the alternative was unthinkable. continued presser from the federal government was squeezing us out. the big issue was water. we got no help from washington during the drought. so continuation of what we had was unthinkable. >> reporter: but trump if he takes regulation away, he's also going to take your workers away. how do you agree with that the. >> well, this is where i disagree with him. so we need a solution for the whole country where we can bring people out of the shadows so we don't have this problem. >> well, now you sound like a democrat. you're confusing me. >> well, this is messy. and the farmers aren't in lock step. you get five farmers together, you get five different opinions. so i have no problem voting for the president and disagreeing with him on trade immigration, because i think he's wrong on these issues. >> reporter: he says if the work force

ian: they cautiously like trump. they love the fact that trump is seen to be a much more stalwart enemy of iran, skeptical of the iran deal. secondly, to the extent that trump is willing to go hard against terrorism and even against radical islamic terror. if you are one of the gulf monarchs, you do not have a problem with that. the lack of focus on human rights -- obama talked a great game, but did not do much in the region. but he did, for example, limit some weapons sales to bahrain. the trump administration is saying let's give you guys whatever you need. those things make them comfortable, but clearly they are unsettled by how much they don't know. in the emirates, they were concerned about the laptop ban, which they thought was about helping american air carriers that are getting crushed by assad like emirates airlines, then they thought it was really about security, so i think they are concerned about kids going to american universities suddenly get extreme vetting when they come into the country. as of this w

now on trump care, very briefly, mr. president, on the new version of trump care that may soon be headed for a vote in the house, let's not forget the reason that americans were against the first version of trump care. they're still in the second version. this version is worse. and there's been a lot of focus on a few of the changes, but the fundamental nastiness of the trump care proposal raising the rates on people 50 to 65, 24 million people uncovered, dirvelgdifficulty in covering preexisting conditions are still in this bill. in fact, even worse. the new trump care will allow states to decide whether or not insurers have to cover americans with preexisting conditions. it's hard to come up with a crueler bill than one that would have resulted in 24 million fewer americans with health coverage, but this new trump care manages to do it. it would hurt even more americans and bring us back to the days when an insurance company could deny you coverage exactly when you needed it most. i say to the more moderate republicans

trump: we love our miners. i am also very pleased to say that we have finally cleared the way for the construction of the keystone xl and dakota access pipelines. 48,000 new jobs. [applause] pres. trump: they couldn't get their approvals. we got them their approvals in 24 hours, one day. i want to tell you, the heads of those two companies didn't know what the hell happened. they said, "how did this happen?" they should go to bed and say their prayers. but that is going to be approximately 48,000 jobs. my administration has also scrapped a job killing regulation that was threatening our auto workers. we want more cars made in the usa, and that is going to happen. [applause] [cheering] pres. trump: we have created a new rule which requires, that for every one new regulation, two old regulations must be eliminated. we have signed massive executive orders clearing up the environmental bureaucracy. we are going to have jobs, and you're seeing them already. we have also been very busy on the legislative front which

trump the candidate versus trump the president. we saw ordering this strike. here is how sean spicer, his spokesman, is trying to square what he said during the campaign with this action. take a listen. >> how does thisit with his america-first foreign policy? is that still his stated position? >> absolutely. i think that his actions were very clear under article 2 in our nation's national security. there's a very important national security interest in the region. stability. obviously there's a huge humanitarian component to this. >> michael steele, you know the republican party as well as anyone. w what do you make of this? sean spicer says no inconsistency, but, look, 2013, there were chemical attacks from assad, there were air strikes on the table. we know donald trump was out there, whatever it was worth back then saying don't do it, don't get involved in this. this certainly seems like a departure from a message that resonated more than people expected it would with your party. >> no, it did, and that message then was probabl

trump has done that. i am a trump supporter even though i am an independent. if the democrats give him a -- he, he will do that needs republicans because he is fighting but of them. he needs to be given a chance like obama was given a chance. see what will happen. i will give you an idea, kimberly. i have been trying to get a presidential pardon from obama to trump. it would be nice if you do something on presidential pardons. god bless you as c-span. i appreciate you. host: john is calling in from new richmond, ohio, on our republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you doing today? host: i am good. what do you think about the president's foreign-policy? caller: is very sound. -- it is very sound. all the people he has put on his staff, he knows what he is doing. i have sure it will be measured. thank you. -- i am sure it will be measured. thank you. host: one member of his team he has assembled is nikki haley, you and ambassador -- u.n. ambassador. she says regime change will happen in syria. nikki haley said saturday that regime change in

trump. do you think that's one of the reasons why he is not going after michael flynn in any way? >> michael flynn was one of the few guys who came out early on in the process and supported donald trump. >> absolutely. >> he was a represent reputable person. you don't forget that. i don't think he will turn on him. that's not to say that as david said they didn't make some mistakes. i don't think you will see him turn on him personally. >> or he knows some things and donald trump doesn't want him to talk about them. i actually am not a believer that donald trump is that loyal. he demands loyalty to him but he throw people overboard when they're not working for him. the fact he's not criticizing him suggests maybe flynn has some information. >> everyone, stick where you are. we have more to talk about. stay with us. president trump isn't the first president to admit the job wasn't what he expected. maybe there are people who had a worse 100 days than him. that's next. what's the best way to g

did they do so with the collusion or cooperation with the trump campaign, trump transition or now trump administration? we will get to the bottom of that. that investigation makes this administration incredibly nervous. as it should. we will get to the bottom of it. >> senator, as someone personally affected by the meddling of russia into the election as you were, are you satisfied with how the investigations are going in congress? >> not on the house side, alisyn. on the house side, sadly, the activities of devin nunes to decide i want to be a lap dog rather than watch dog has blown up the house investigation. i don't think that will be recoverable although adam schiff and members have the right instinc instincts. on the senate side, i give credit to mark warner and richard burr together in a bipartisan way. they are marching down this path. i'm confident that the senate investigation as well as the ongoing fbi investigation which was finally revealed, the combination of the two investigations, we'll get to the bottom of it. >> senator tim kaine, thank you. >> absolutely. >>> chris. >>

trump. it's not a great track record. >> here he is in gettysburg which he chose to say this. >> fully funds the construction of a wall on our southern border. don't worry about it. remember, i said mexico is paying for the wall. fully repeal obamacare. i will direct my secretary of the treasure to label china a currency manipulator. establish tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers. >> mark, those promises that he just said have not been kept. obama care not repealed. china not a currency manipulat r manipulator. the wall not paid for, certainly not by mexico. does it matter? >> it does matter. we should say a couple of things. we're using in some ways a false yardstick to judge how he's doing in his presidency. it's a yardstick that we've used historically to see how presidents are doing and how they are coming out of the chute. it's not only the media but the candidates themselves. donald trump said he was going to get all these things done in the first 100 days. the

he -- they like trump. secondly, to the extent that trump is willing to go hard against terrorism and even against radical islamic terror. if you are one of the gulf monarchs to let you don't have a problem with that. the lack of focus on human rights -- obama talked a great game, but did not do much in the region. she did limit some weapons sales to bahrain. is trump administration saying let's give you guys whatever you need. that makes them comfortable, but clearly they are unsettled by how much they don't know. in the emirates, they were concerned about the laptop ban, which they thought was about helping american air carriers that are getting crushed by him or its airlines and others than about security, so i think they are concerned about kids going to american universities suddenly get extreme vetting when they come into the country. week, generally speaking in the middle east the qatar,ates, the saudi's, they feel more comfortable about trump than obama. because they believe he is more likely to com

amy: trump is the first u.s. president in more than four decades to refuse to release his tax returns. the irs says being under an audit does not prevent anyone, including the president, from releasing your tax returns. on m monday, sean spicer also defended the administration's decision not to make public a log of white house visitors. >> we want to make sure people can come in the same with a can go to a member of the congress' office, provide details and there are people who want to be able to have that conversation with members of the administration the same way they would do with members of congress, go into their office. >> why didn't he take this opportunity to one of the transparency? >> i'm trying to explain that. we r recognize there is a privay in allowing people to come and express their views. amy: spicer's comments came just two days after more than 100,000 people took to the streets saturday across the country to call on trump to release his taxes. crowds gathered in more than a dozen cities from c

that donald trump, there is a difference between donald trump saying something and it actually happening. and that is the truth when most of the executive orders that he signed. for donald trump to say tomorrow we'll lowers corporate rate from 35% to 15%, fair or not fair, good idea or not a good idea, doesn't accomplish anything. which i think getting back to the thrust of your discussion here which is, you know, if you want to say the 100 days test is silly, which i would agree with by the way, that is fine. but if you're going to say i've been the most effective president ever in my first 100 days, you have to look at donald trump the big five, right? the repeal of obamacare, the wall, muslim ban, infrastructure as you mentioned, and then tax reform. none of them will have happened during the first 100 days. so i think this gang who was very good at campaigning has proven they are not too good at governing. >> tim, we showed this the "wall street journal" looked at the big five as bill press just called it and said look, you got a this opportunity that republicans after the election t

it began with trump accusing president obama of tapping his wires in trump tower. and days later in a very public humiliation of the president, fbi director james comey was compelled to say there is no evidence to support the trump claim. and oh, by the way the fbi is investigating the trump campaign for possible collusion with the russians to tip the 2016 election in their favor. then there is the one-man drama that is house intelligence committee chairman and former trump transition member republican devin nunes. he tried to help trump find evidence to back his surveillance claims and instead triggered a torrent of questions about him. like why is he working with the trump white house instead of investigating it? and who let him on to white house grounds? it's a story so strange that even fellow republicans today say they couldn't write this novel. and we haven't even yet mentioned the debacle that was the defeat of trumpcare. over the course of the next hour, we'll bring you a team of experts. we'll get to the bottom of what happened today. what is the next shoe

many trump-branded products are made overseas. trump eyeglasses made in china. items from the trump home collection is this ma collection, made in china. david letterman asked about his shirts and ties in 2012. >> theie china? ties are made in china. >> reporter: mr. trump's executive order also seeks to limit h-1b visas that allow companies to hire foreign skill the labor. something that undercuts american jobs and high-tech wages. he has for years used a related program to hire workers for his mar-a-lago property. we asked candidate trump about that in february 2016. >> it's impossible to get help. it's very, very hard to get help. >> reporter: impossible to hire americans. >> it's very hard. it's a seasonal job. and american workers don't want to work, they want a full-time job. >> reporter: and even while he has been in office, the trump organization has applied for an h 2 b visa for a foreign national services outside new york city. a club he is expected to visit multiple times in the coming months. major garrett, the white support behind republicans in yes

trump uses a lot. in fact he uses a number of superlatives in his remarks. >> one of the biggest political events anywhere in the world is happening right now in the republican party. >> it was the biggest electoral college win since ronald reagan. the biggest thing on the internet, one of the big things on the internet was that trump was 100% right about brussels. we're going to have the biggest tax cut since ronald reagan. the biggest increase in murder in 45 years, you don't hear that, this is the biggest political scandal since watergate. we have the biggest crowds in the history of inaugural speeches. and we have by far the biggest rallies that people have seen. >> if someone is described as the biggest, the best or the most, the question for this panel, kirsten, it is interesting that the president always uses these terms and after a while, they start to kind of lose value. >> he's very hyper bollic, he exaggerates a lot, i think he builds things up a lot, but i do think the things he finds to be

but that is how donald trump operates. when we say donald trump changed today, i think we have to be a little careful about that. yes, he took a different tone today but to say that there is some now a complete 180 and reversal and donald trump is on a new path, that remains to be seen. i don't know that we foe that. the one consistent -- and it's no hallmark of the trump administration, but the one consistent thing over time in the campaign and recently that donald trump has sort of put out there about his world view is that he repeatedly says i don't want to be president of the world. i want to be president of america and he sees these kinds of problems as other country's problems. and that does not to me mean you erase that philosophy and that's what we have to be on the lookout for. >> thank you all, gentlemen, so much for that. we have more breaking news here because we've learned this afternoon that steve bannon, president trump's chief strategist, former breitbart executive, has been removed from the national securi

is the trump party? >> you know, to a certain extent. i think that the conservative movement right now i think is a bit divided. everything seems to be divided. the conservatives which would be like the joana goldberg. >> who is a leading conservative. >> that's right. >> they were pretty much part of the never trump world, he's not acceptable alternative. we would make the argument that those who deal in the grassroots world make the argument compared to hillary clinton, who are you going to have more an influence on in terms of policy, a donald trump or a hillary clinton, obviously when donald trump chose mike pence as vice presidential candidate, it was clear indication that was sent to conservative movement that he wanted to have this serious outreach to conservatives and i think you had when he gave up the list of conservatives for the supreme court nomination, another outreach to conservatives as well that he was serious in terms of saying, i'm willing to listen, i want you all to be part of my cam

the trouble is, as the donald trump. the trouble is, as the donald trump. the trouble is, as the donald trump administration was saying, nothing has worked in the past. the situation five years ago is not the situation now, because this capability seems to be gathering pace. there is no doubt about that and the chinese are now really concerned. it is china, more than america, that will snuff out north korea. talking about it on the trump, she was —— ivanka trump, she was booed onstage, more so that her father was booed onstage and she was supporting him? yes, angela merkel... we supporting him? yes, angela merkel. .. we have supporting him? yes, angela merkel... we have seen this with kushner as well. the children and siblings of trump are tempering a lot of the rhetoric. there were lots of soccer mums that voted for trump, they are hearing a different kind of story. i think we need to step out of the bubble when we see these kind of the bubble when we see these kind of reactions. the global elite looking very uncomfortable about ivanka, but they keep g

donald trump a back that up. and they really took it to the russians and were extremely critical of what the russians had been doing in syria. rex tillerson brought it back, rightly to ukraine and crimea. tillerson ofto that russian interference in our election was a problem. that is progress. this relationship is at a low point in the russians are trying to undercut the united states. i also thought it was interesting to see, donald trump, who for 18 months has been railing against nato saying it's obsolete and you'll forgive me, i'm a former ambassador to nato, and today donald trump is said nato is no longer obsolete. he said nato used to not be fighting terrorism and now they are. nato wasn't spending enough and now they're on track to spend more. he tried to put a positive gloss on these issues where he has been extremely critical. and we may be seeing a re-centering of the administration. generalese figures like mattis and h.r. mcmaster and rex tillerson are winning some of the policy battles of the white h

i think you've got to be careful and we can't automatically say it's all trump's fault or all trump's credit or all the military is bad. you know what i mean? it's a little more complicated than. >> i was on the "today" show and we were asking people on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being what we don't want, which is a major crisis, an actual conflict with weapons, nuclear weapons, that's a 10. 1 to 10, why are we right now in your opinion? >> on what specifically? >> as far as the scope of being 10 being what we all fear, which is combat? >> for north korea? >> yes. >> oh, i think we're far from that. look, aircraft carriers off the coast is -- if the united states military really wanted to send a message to kim jong-un and the north koreans, it would be a lot more than this. it wouldn't be a message, it would be a strike. >> it would be action. >> it would come from the white house and from the pentagon and you would see the full mobilization just like you saw at the beginning of the iraq war, just like you saw the first time obama restarted the war in 2013. this is not that. this is not t

like we want to cut back foreign aid under trump. we want to take fewer refugees under trump. and we're not going to talk about human rights in all these countries whether it's putin killing journalists or whether it's the chinese engaging in horrible practices internally or externally. no, so suddenly, suddenly he cares about the syrian kids because he saw that chemical weapons were being used yet again. i mean it's hard to believe that. but at the same time-- . >> rose: so why is he doing it. are you saying it is hard to believe that he simply saw these atrocious pictures of children dying or having died from chemical weapons. that that wouldn't change his mind. >> again, we have had those pictures before. so i mean it's not like these pictures-- . >> rose: we had those pictures while he was president. >> that's true. he told obama one thing, he clearly has shown he has the ability to change his mind and flip on a dime on a bunch of things. i do think given the statements he has made in the last 24 hours the likelihood of some form of at least limited military strike against

foreign policy is easier for donald trump to handle. you have easily identifiable opponents in assad and syria and in the case of north korea s, b you have immediate action that donald trump can take. you can launch a bomb and fire missiles. you can do something immediate that the people can see and there is a comfort dealing with military generals. he has a number of them in the administration. he's obviously relying on them to take action overseas. there's a surprising level of comfort he has in dealing with these issues, but i would caution against making it too clear a direct analysis this, he's doing this to avoid poor opinion polls. he's disregarded as fake news a number of accurate stories. i think there's a number of things at play here. >> i want to talk about that special election in georgia that's under way two days from. you have democrat ossoff. democrats are hoping they can take this red seat and turn it blue. what do you think the chances are of that happening? >> i'm going down to cover that race tomorrow. i've been talk

david: do you think it will be the post-trump world or just trump world? is that what we will stick around for? mercedes: yes, for now it will. is he going to be the party for the next 14, 20 years? the leaders do shape the party. so if he is bringing in more white working, working-class individuals into the party, maybe so, but you want to make sure you talk about the big ten, bringing in women, hispanics, african-americans. one of the things donald trump should focus on in terms of outreach is helping build inner cities. i think republicans have done a terrible job of even talking about it. he does not have a problem going to talk to african-american leaders in their community. david: he did not do that much during the campaign. months went by when people would ask him to do that. republicans i don't think do enough. they just give up the african-american vote. so what i think is the case study to watch in the state of texas, which is a growing hispanic population and jobless, and what does it mean in terms of when you saw the map, it was not trump or hi

\[cheers and applause] president trump: remember those saying, we have breaking news, donald trump has won the state of michigan. michigan, how did that happen? donald trump has won the state of wisconsin, whoa! but earlier in the evening, remember florida, north carolina, south carolina, pennsylvania, all the way up, we ran up the east coast. and you know, the republicans have a tremendous disadvantage in the electoral college, you know that. tremendous disadvantage and to run the whole east coast and then you go with iowa, ohio and all of the different states, it was a great evening, one that a lot of people will never forget. a lot of people. \[applause] president trump: not going to forget that evening. and remember they said, there is no path to 270. for months i was hearing that. you know, they are trying to suppress the vote and people are saying i like trump and he loves the second amendment and loves the n.r.a., but let's go to the movies because we can't win because they are trying to suppress the vote. i heard 100 times, there is no route, there is no route to 270. and we en

president trump is learning on the job and he's learning quickly. >> sean: it's not trump's problem his job. >> no, no, no, work with me her here. he is listening and realizing what you are trying to move legislation to the house it's like hurting 435 cats. that's what this is problem, . about. >> they should have had a plan ready they should have moved faster. if i'm working at godfather's pizza and i'll say herman, i'll get the pizza cooked in 89 days because i'm making the perfect pizza, you're going to give me a swift kick it that you know what and tell me to get moving or throw me out and fire me. they can move faster than this. if they're not working hard enough. >> i would simply fire you but we can't fire them every two years. >> sean: who gets two weeks vacation for easter? >> pack your patience, work with me here. >> sean: enter the nose come out to the mouth come i'm going to give it my best shot, up the next couple we need your help a very important question of the day, some of the hate "hannity" hotline, some of the it's been . next . ith the water in your body to hydrate a

>> very simply, donald trump is not happy. when was the last time -- donald trump used to like to talk about his poll numbers and ratings. when is the last time we heard about it? he's not happy about the controversies or the failure of health care and not happy about the poll numbers, that he doesn't seem to be doing well. i think what we're seeing is he is recalibrating, looking around, saying how do we fix this? newt gingrich one said to me, you can't tell donald trump what to do. he has to figure it out. he's figuring out that it's not working. maybe not this week, maybe not next week, but i think we're going to see some changes in the staff and who -- some new rising stars. >> that was a tease. gloria, what's your scoop? >> well, look, you know, this is a very top-heavy white house. there are lots of cheeks here. the president likes to bring people into his office and talk to a lot of people and it's also a white house that has different ideological views. bannon on this sort of more - populist ideological view and the sp

president trump said today it's time to end the war. but i'm not sure they've got the leverage to do it yet. it gets back to david's very good reporting, can the united states build these coalitions with fighters on the ground. whether the syrian kurds or some sunni militias to get that leverage. >> someone said to me that in the conversation between rex tillerson and foreign minister lavrov, that lavrov read out almost seven or eight examples where american intervention had come to nothing. >> well, that's a standard russian refrain. you americans keep going in and blowing up countries without knowing what is going to come next. and look at the message you've created. and i think we all understand there's a way in which that carries an important proof. i think in this case russia gained the strategic advantage when it intervened in syria in september 2015. and has been in the driver's seat. and u.s. diplomacy has been bootless it just hasn't had the clowt to be effective. what i hear from the white house as they talk about what they ar

trump foundation signed personally by donald j. trump. this is one of the single biggest donations pam bondi got in that whole campaign cycle. sure enough, a few weeks later, voila, pam bondi's office announced they would not have florida join that fraud suit against trump university. it was very tidy. very tidy little timeline. compared to a lot of other important things that get decided by politicians, even life or death things, this seems very tied y right? this seems not at all random. this seems not at all arbitrary. this seems direct. but wait, it keeps going. because, first, that story made news, right, because they were delaying an execution, which didn't make sense on the surface for republican politicians who were crusading to kill more prisoners faster, faster, faster, that they would want to slow one down. then it made news because they found out the reason for the delay was pam bondi had a fund-raiser. then that story made news after that because pam bondi took in one of the biggest donations to her campaign that year from so

trump didn't win the election. then resorting to vulgarity and profanity claiming republicans don't give an expletive about people. the dems have 23 democratic senars up for reef electio next year. 10 othose dems in states won by president trump. the dems will to filibuster one of the country's most celebrated and distinguished jurists, and spending all the party's energy and time obstructing the policies and the nominees of president trump. the dems are so far on the wrong side of history that it's highly likely they won't recover for years. it's as if the leaders of the democratic party are committed to republican majority that every level of government. at least in that respect the dems are showing proper concern for the national interest. sphowrp quotation of the evening. this one from thomas temperature soul. the big divide is between talkers and doers. we are coming back, stay with us. some members of the if freedom caucus are blaming chief of staff reince priebus and speaker paul frien for the collapse of th

get ready for trump anomices. >> we're returning power back to the people. >> reporter: president trump is unveiling a tax plan that would be a boon to big business and potentially make the deficit go boom. >> so this is going to be the biggest tax cut and the largest tax reform in the history of our country. and we are committed to seeing this through. >> reporter: the white house tax plan includes what officials are calling tax relief for middle income families and help with child care costs through the tax code, as well as a massive reduction in the corporate tax rate. the tax relief for middle income families would create three basic tax rates whi. the trump administration would pay for those cuts by eliminating some deductions but not on mortgages or charitable giving, raising the big question raised by fellow republicans, just how is the white house going to pay for any of it? >> again, as i think we've said, we're working on lots of details as to this. we have over 100 people in the treasury that have been working on tax and scoring lots of different scenarios. this will pay for

it's a grand trump-sized gift to the wealthy marked paid in full, donald trump. get ready to hear the bragging now about how big a gift it is. so guess who he's up against? last night in a surprise videotaped address to the international ted conference in vancouver, pope francis had a message for world leaders. quote, act humbly. quote, allow me to say it loud and clear, the pope said. the more powerful you are, the more your actions will have an impact on people. the more responsible you are to act humbly. humility is in short supply. of course for the man living at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. let's watch. >> there has never been a presidency that's done so much in such a short period of time. >> we had a massive crowd of people. >> here's a picture of the crowd. now, the audience was the biggest ever, but this crowd was massive. look how far back it goes. >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe. >> that speech was a home run. >> they loved it. they gave me a standing ovation for a long period o
