let's bring in our panel right now ed rollins is here former white house advisor to president reagan, mary kissem l editorial member for the wall street journal good to see you. >> thank you. maria: you read this book over the weekend. >> i read the book there's not a whole lot i didn't know that i learned from it except for the total dysfunction in the early stages of the book but everybody knew it was a dysfunction for a couple reasons one is you had a president who had never been in government before, staff that basically wasn't loyal to him, i think the bottom line is the place has settled out since kelly has great accomplishment at the end and we're now focusing all our attention on a book that is irrelevant to a certain extent, the fact you had three power senators in a white house with nobody tells me having worked in a couple white houses and taught american the presidency for the last decade the president wasn't served well and has a right to be fur and at the end of the yeah we need to move forward from it. maria: mary how do you see it? >> i'm frustrated we're still talking

joining us ed rollins, senior presidential fellow. fox business contributor, and great american. let's start with the proposal on dhaka. suddenly daca is taking over everything. i'm kidding. they don't put daca near the top of the list, but it happened in white house, and some parts of democratically helter torrey in house and senate. >> that gang is talking about. is bill that is dead on arrival, they won't get two votes beyond their group. unless the president signs off on something, and unless house and senate leaders sign off on something. lou: let me ask, this reminds me of george h.w. bush who had what 80% approval rating at one time. deciding he was going back on a promise, he said famously read my lips be no new taxes, and a few years later says we'll raise taxes, you were there. >> i was one in congressional committee, we were 8 or 10 votes up, in med ter med election, liy two weeks after that we were 30 votes down. 1990, bush was in third term of reagan. got 28% republican defected from him in race again clinton. lou: put up that screen, show the folks what we're talkin

lou: joining us ed rollins and michael goodwin. did you ever think you would see wolf blitzer with bob acosta rinsing intently as he parades the president of the united states? >> must have been difficult for both of them. what struck me, lou, have they not been paying attention until now? the meeting was remarkable by standards. but trump's performance at the meeting was not remarkable. lou: i thought he looked like he was center ring at the circus and every line and elephant was jumping wherever he said. michael: i have not doubt that's who he is anyway. just the idea i'm surprised this is a donald trump we haven't seen before, somehow the way they have criticized him -- ed: this was not a negotiation, this was a conversation. they didn't even understand the terms. what dianne feinstein was talking about and what donald trump was talking about were two different things. lou: feinstein trying to roll the president saying let's do a clean daca bill. ed: sign here and we'll fiction the rest of it later. i think the key thing here is

joining us ed rollins, chairman of the great america pact, fox business contributor. and he does a few other things in between. great to have you here. >> thank you, sir. lou: let's start with -- i was talking with josh blackman, one of the country's leading constitutional scholars. why does the president have to put up with a naked aggression, the subversion of these ignorant treasonist -- fill in the noun you want. >> he doesn't. and basically everybody at the hierarchy of the justice department and the fbi work for him. he can fire any one of them. he fired comey. whether it's the right decision or not, it's irrelevant. at the end of the day if he thinks they're not serving the american public, then he needs to clen it out. he needs to order sessions to clean it out. lou: sessions. sessionshe withdraws like a mole at dawn. >> he needs to go back to alabama. i like jeff sessions as a senator but he's not functionin- lou: we had a great relationship with jeff sessions. the truth is he's not doing -- he's doing almost nothing. >> no, he's not. and mueller is operating

what ed rollins of ronald reagan's fame, a big strategist. he said that regan was famous for having a sense of humor. would the president be wise to do that? he is the one in the driver's seat in this economy and the markets, whether you want to credit him or not. just to accentuate the positive and don't punch down on the negative. >> i understand what people say about his tweeting. at the same time, he needs to continue to tweet. one of the reasons why is this: if he was putting out only his economic numbers, there's a lot of young people specifically millennials that won't care or pay attention to that. >> neil: that's your generation. they have an attention problem. >> a lot of people, what brings him to their page is what he is tweeting. >> it's hurt him. >> and then they see the numbers he tweets about. >> it's hurting him. >> i don't think it's hurting him. if you want to say he's insane, that's the type of insane i want to see in the white house. it's working. >> it's not working. here's the thing -- >> it is working. >> why is his ap

oh, my goodness we're back with our panel ed rollins and former senator al demato. how does that happen? can you imagine by the way if you were in hawaii and you got some kind of alert on your phone saying a ballistic missile was heading your way? >> the problem is we're far more sensitive to ballistic missiles because of the north korea situation so my sense is we have to go back and have a fail safe system. al and i grew up in an age where you used to do nuclear tests and roll up in a ball but we're way beyond that and i think to a certain extent we have this instant communications that everybody is on the phone you have to make sure it's fail safe trish: i men i get it i just go back to how does something like that happen you think about gosh to just to get on to my darn computer at work i have to put in all these passwords and it's not easy and yet, it had to have been relatively easy it seems as though, you know somebody here pushed the wrong button. >> first of all, if you lived in hawaii you had to be frightened out of your mind, if you had relatives or frien

>> took out a couple of trees along the way, but he's still rollin'. the guy is movin' around, and you do hear him say a few things that let you know he is still alive. just a woo? that's it? >> where's the snowmobile? >> it's gone. i think it's in the snow. i think i'm safe in saying it's in the snow somewhere. good luck finding it. >>> the next video, theres an avalanche, but i love how people call it small. this is in peru. i see that as a big avalanche, because if you were a small person, it would be bigger the closer you got. i love what they say at the end of this video. >> we're still alive! >> it's fascinating to watch, every time. i deon't know why. >>> we've had our fair share of surprises he surprises here at "right this minute", but this might be the biggest. nicole's getting quite a surprise as she comes around and is faced with a lot of people she didn't expect. as far as she was concerned, she was done with the surprise. then danny, her man says we're going to disney world. they enjoyed this whole trick and they turn up for dinner, and t

ed rollins and many others in this town would like it to be the end for steve bannon. in the trump orbit, we've seen so many people rise and fall and rise, but people always seem to have a second life. the president likes to have the viewpoints from a collection of different people. i do not think it's at all improbable that several months from now it will be reported by mr. green here or someone else that they are back on the phone with each other. fwho but no doubt about it, humiliated in every way here. we'll see what happens with steve bannon, but this does create a vacuum and an opportunity for people opposed to steve bannon, particularly jared kushner, ivanka trump, others to sort of seize that. it could have policy issues as well. steve bannon has been driving the train on some of these things. the reality is people will side with trump, not bannon, at least in terms of the base, i believe. >> trump piling on tweeting michael wolff is a total loser who made up stories to sell this really boring and untruthful book. he used sloppy steve bannon who cried when he g

. >> lou: joining me now is ed rollins, the white house political director under president reagan and fox contributor and great america. >> the president is absolutely right. security part is what we need. and letting more people is not the secret. democrats want daca to be extended and they have to give something up. and security is very important. >> lou: it is strange, the president campaigned on the wall. >> absolutely. >> lou: he didn't campaign on daca. and heap's talking with six no maim or very little name republicans who have with the exception of the chair of the judiciary committee no chair man ships. it is a strange moment. >> we have had two presidents, both bush and obama who had majorities of their own party and wanted immigration reform and could not get the security part done. and trump has to do just what he did. >> why are those folks in the office with the president? >> i have no idea. >> lou: it is particular. this is a 4 or 5 number minority. >> i want guys who promise to fulfill the security requirements that the president campaigned on and the wall is not just

lou: joining us, ed rollins, and john bolton. both of our guests tonight. good to have you here. have you ever seen such decorum on the part of senate democrats where they would rush from a meeting with the president to accuse him of sordid and nasty things. >> that's the way it goes these days. who should be surprised by it? you are not going have a candid conversation with dick durbin. whatever it might be, anything they can use -- they are going to go out into the driveway of the white house and say it. do you think when tip o'neill and ronald reagan had a glass of scotch together that he ever said he double hockey sticks? i think he did and the world didn't ends. lou: we tested it a few times and we are testing it now it seems to me, when you have a senate that's so disrespectful of the president, his powers, his prerogatives, that this kinds of ignorance would be leaked to the national left-wing media. ed: immigration is a complicated issue. the fact that durbin is not bringing a piece of paper. they need 60 votes. show me how many votes they have. we are a long ways to go b

. >> singer, actor, and author henry rollins published a photo book titled "occupants," which includes images from a trip to north korea. mr. rollins talks about the journey and shows his photographs at an event hosted by the national geographic society. henry: it is pyongyang, north korea. it took me about two years to get this visa, and they let about 100 or less americans a year into north korea. luckily, i got in, in time for the mass games. as is the famous room where the north and south meet. the back door behind the soldier's back, that is south korea. my back is to north korea. spiethere with my two tour and we are there togethers. they are taking photos and making a lot of noise, taking photos of the soldiers. up mye really screwing man alone in north korea five i'm trying to get, and i sat. everyone left. they said, we are walking, we are walking. i am alone with this guy that became furious that i did to sit in there with him -- dared to sit in there with them. he put his arm down and i took that photo and said, thank you. i kind of bolted out the door as i was looking at my

joining me now, ed rol rollins, former white house political director under ronald reagan and fox business contributor. great to see you. >> thank you. my pleasure. lou: this is an extraordinary opening of developments here. suddenly the clintons have been recognized as possibly being felons in waiting. >> well want as i've said to you before, the problem with washington, d.c. is they were an convinced that he was going to be the president so everybody tiptoed around them when they should have been investigating them. for the last year for whatever reason they've gone after trump and to a certain extent is because trump never took charge of the justice department. now we need to fix it. the public has a right to know what was going on and where the real corruption is. lou: i have to say, the idea of what's going on here is far more, though, than simply waiting for her majesty to assume the presidency. it is also clearly an organized effort on the part of the previous president, the organizing for america, 30,000 strong, a president who is going to continue to work against the republican pr

lou: my phone ought to be ringing right now for ed rollins. you think we're going to get to the bottom of this soon? >> i hope so. lou: we all hope so. i'm asking you. >> i think we are. but it's not because of people like "morning joe." it's because of people like you. lou: "morning joe" wouldn't want lou: "morning joe" wouldn't want to ruffle any feathers. you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia, that can take you out of the game for weeks, even if you're healthy. pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that in severe cases can lead to hospitalization. it may hit quickly, without warning, causing you to miss out on the things you enjoy most. prevnar 13® is not a treatment for pneumococcal pneumonia... it's a vaccine you can get to help protect against it. prevnar 13® is approved for adults to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients.

when ever ronald reagan was in office you know, his biggest regret, i've been told by ed rollins is that he granted amnesty and then trusted congress, he trusted congress to deliver. melissa: they're not going to agree to that you see, look at empass they're sitting at right now. again people are frustrated looking at this continuing resolution. we're going to fund the government for another 3 1/2 minutes because we can't agree on this issue. i mean don't you think it seems like, there was a deal in there somewhere, maybe only a week ago. if you say border wall first, that is like saying no deal. >> well, president trump said border wall first and he said no amnesty on the campaign trail. so that is what the people expect. you know the democrats have manufactured a crisis that doesn't exist. this does not expire anytime soon. and so to consider holding our military and other essential government services hostage, as the democrats are doing, is ridiculous. we can't allow that to happen. we need to move forward in the right direction and the right direction is border security first, discus
