ashley and sabrina are back with us. josh, i'll start with you, i'll start with the up in comments from secretary tillerson because he's not convinced it seems that cuba's hands are clean in all this. >> reporter: that's right. we said to secretary tillerson in this interview, look, it's been more than a year since this started. and it has been months since you kicked out cuban diplomats and pulled americans out of cuba. and you are still not able to say what is happening, who is doing it. is it justified to have worsened our relations with cuba that much. and he was pushing back to say there was no way to protect the people down there as long as this is unsolved. even though we don't know who did it, he is still certain somebody in cuba's government has to be able to stop it. >> what have we learned from the fbi, too? this is a new wrinkle in all of this as well. >> reporter: the funny thing is the fbi won't publicly admit they are investigating because they don't like to talk about the ongoing investigations. jim comey

ashley we previewed had before the break. it is an odd feature of this administration that i guess speaks to the compression of the time/space continuum we're all living. >> that's exactly right, and i have to say covering this president it almost never feels like there's never not news whether the president is abroad or back home. but what's striking about all of these foreign trips is that while the news may continue, and a torrent of it at that, the president in an interesting way gets to sort of leave these problems at the water's edge. when he goes overseas, this stuff is happening, but in many of these countries he is treated like a king. in saudi arabia, his face was broadcast on billboards and the side of buildings. i was on his asia trip. there were red carpets and parades with cannon and so for the president in a way, it's almost a nice respite. he sort of gets to leave it behind. >> and you were ahead of him in advance of the president. air force one was at the asia trip and the "new york times" dropped the story.

ashley banks reporting for us. thanks ashley and thank you for washington for watching see you next time. we have a great team we need to strengthen before the free world and better than a legend to keep it to the back. in ninety ninety two that must qualify for the european championships at the very low. no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best since my last will call on that story. out of an old joke. here i called. strife. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently all the science is controlled by them and they impose the opening times so if you opposite it is from is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists l

ashley parker, let me start with you. your reporting from the weekend really encapsulates and gives some context to the developments that i just went through. but i want to ask you, as a reporter, these are questions that are among the most sensitive kinds of questions. and other than questions i fielded about sarah palin's pregnancy when i worked for her in '08, i can't imagine a more sensitive kind of topic for a reporter to broach with the president or politician and their staff than their mental stability. i wonder what the effect has been of donald trump tweeting half a dozen tweets on the topic and now making public statements about the topic. has he wittingly or unwittingly thrust this issue to into the limelight for those who cover him? >> that's a great question. i should say we're reporters, not psychiatrists. it's not our job to diagnose anyone's mental stability or lack thereof. but the president's own team has taken this stance of kind of concerted umbrage and outrage and indignation that they won't deal with

ashley, thanks for sticking around with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> and former republican presidential candidate mitt romney did not address the elephant in the room today, as he gave a speech in utah. that elephant being, will he run for senate? and if he does run for orrin hatch's seat, which romney should we expect to see? the one who tried to get along with the president after the election or the one who tried to be a truth teller before trump won? >> people that give great speeches would look great in the u.s. senate. have you ever thought about that? >> i have nothing for you on that topic, natalie. >> what was your relationship with the president be like if you were elected, sir? >> you know, too many hypotheticals in there for me to be able to address, sorry. but he and i have had a couple of very cordial conversations over the past couple of months. >> joining me here in the newsroom is rich lowry, editor of the conservative "national review" magazine. thank you very much for being here. romney is not sayin

ashley: dr. brenda fitzgerald right there, she has aparen'tly what the white house is saying complex financial interests. she often has to recuse herself from many of her duties. in other words, divesting herself is just become too complicated. in the end she said i will have to resign. they said okay. stuart: thank you. our next guest is the congressional candidate from new jersey district, direct 5, who says the trump tax cuts will be good for new jersey's middle class. now, let me explain something here. the last time he was on this show i got to admit i was rude. i didn't give the man a chance to make his case. we're bringing him back. i say welcome back to steve lonegan. >> thank you, stuart for having me. stuart: i will shake that hand. you're a good man. you're point was the tax cuts for president trump are good for new jersey's middle class. spell it out. >> the middle class will benefit what donald trump called last night the tax cut pay raises the we'll see that. i think top 1% we were

and ashley is with us exclusively. good morning. >> good morning, you guys. >> we know how you were feeling after the judges scored you. we got to see that in the piece. it's been a week or so. you had some time to rest. how are you feeling as you sit with us. >> i'm feeling okay. i am feeling proud of that moment. i've had a week to kind of process everything. it was one of those things where you're thrown into the mix. immediately after, for me, immediately after i found out my olympic dreams had come to an end and i think i was just heartbroken. devastated. i had worked 22 years for that moment and i had put out something that i felt so proud of. >> you could actually see it. when you ended your program, you had a look on your face like, yes. i know i nailed it. i know that i'm going. tell us what it fell >> seeing the scores was difficult because i know where my second mark consistently falls. and it didn't this week. that was confusing to me in that moment when i'm feeling the end of this olympic dream, it was hea

ashley parker, so i heard from four folks in and close to this white house. i heard that the president was, words i can't say on tv. i heard the statement released was dialed back from his gut reaction if you will, and one of the first things they did was produce those logs that sarah huckabee sanders revealed. it was discovered of the 17 visits that the author of the book michael wolff made, at least 14 of those were instances where he was waved in, which is the process for applying for a security clearance for a guest by steve bannon. what do you know or what have you learned in that briefing and since then about how shocked the white house really seems to be by what steve bannon has had to say about the president and his former white house colleagues? >> that's a good question, and i heard many things that were similar to what you picked up. the white house had known this book was coming for a while and they were intermittently nervous about it. but it landed like a ton of bricks this morning when the excerpts started leaking out. as you pointed out, the p

ashley: correct. liz: yeah. stuart: auto nation, they're doubling the contribution that they give to their employees' 401(k). liz: and now saying a third consecutive order of 3% growth in the gdp. stuart: booming economy, 170 companies giving bonuses and/or higher wages, what else have we got? ashley: well, when we get to the midterms, this is something they're really going to have to answer to the voters. when they say this is a terrible deal, it's awful -- by the way, those tax cuts will come into effect early next month as people see it in their paycheck. stuart: and they'll see that. ashley: and they'll see that. and the economy is picking up even higher. stuart: quick word the cell jean is in talks to buy juneau. that's why the stock is up 50%. don't you wish you had it? bank of america, says we will expect to return more capital to shareholders given the tax act. whether that is a higher dividend or stock buy back, we don't know. they're going to give back to the shareholders. and the opening bell is comin

news and world report contributor ashley pratt. is this a stretch what do you think ashley? >> this just goes a little too far. i was watching that and a little confused by it. you can call his tweet wreckless , sure and say hashtag diplomacy may not be the best idea especially if it's almost an impulsive tweet in some ways but at the same time, to make this connection seems a tad ridiculous, because of the fact that you can criticize him all you want on his foreign policy but to even tie this to sexual harassment makes no sense. he was coming after kim jong-un whose a male, not a female so again i'm a little confused and she ties it back to his time developing real estate empires again a little confused not foreign policy-related so i think she took it a little too far here. i don't quite understand where she was going with it, if she was trying to make the connection to him being a powerful man, sure but that has nothing to do with what he tweet ed. liz: to this story dr. jasser is the news in reformer he told us yesterday the democrats the liberal media are being hypocrit

ashley johnson reported for "chasing news". >> bill: thank you ashley! let's bring back our a+ panel. great to see you guys! let's start. that seems to me that the governor elect bill murphy, cannot give any presentation without taking a shot at the president. then the fact that he laughed when asked about the book. i think he is already past being governor in thinking about 20/20. >> i think he is responding to this and everything else that the president is doing, the laughing at the book, like we discussed, it is something that is entertainment. i do not think it is of importance to him. with what is coming up i think the lack was appropriate. >> bill: what do you think? you think about states that have been so successful with offshore drilling. just to speak to that point. i do not have pollution problems, but they have incredible revenue. he talked about you go all the way south of louisiana, incredible revenue. what a way to offset the taxes? >> we're going backwards pretty soon we will open a call monday new jersey lternative n enl doesn'ti you're
