on twitter, , critics noted that in 2009 the trump family, including donald trump, took out a full page ad in "the new york times" urging international action on climate change. following trump's announcement, landmarks in cities around the world were lit up green in support of the paris climate accocord. here in new york city demonstrators gathered near city , hall to protest. changeing about climate is an issue of economic justice. if trump thinks is going to undermine what we have been building here in new york city, he is wrong. >> climate justice. when we won it? >> now. >> my name is sean williams. you look at his executive order that he is signing and even with this paris accord and pulling out of it, you see that everything he wants to do is taking us back to all of the things that we fought against and that we fought to get out of. >> my name is lola. i am a student at nyu. it is not a valid argument, the jobs argument him especially because lives are at risk. millions of lives are at risk. refugees are at risk. >> now is the time. we need to stop them. we do not have much time

president trump: 100% correct. and one of the things i was referring to during that speech was the fact that, yes, they and haven't paid what they should be paying now. but for many years they haven't been paying. so i said, do we ever go back and say, how about paying the money from many, many years past? now, i know no president has ever asked that question, but i do. we are going to make nato very strong. you need the money to make it strong. you can't just do what we've been doing in the past. so i did say, yes, we haven't -- you haven't paid this year but what about the past years, the many past years where you haven't paid? perhaps you should pay some or all of that money back. you have a question. reporter: thank you. i have a question for president trump. on the matter of security, sir, many of the countries on the eastern flank of nato, including romania, see russia as a threat to the security and the peace in the region. do you share this vision and do you think that the united states should act under art

angela merkel's readings are those of -- are double those of president trump president trump. 50% higher of those than president xi and putin. you're going to have many people saying xi is the new leader of and maybe even the less than free world. so -- but what does that mean for someone like her, a chancellor who, as you have written, depends on and takes advantage of ambiguity, and who, quote, inhabits a leadership culture that's am bive lent about public diplomacy? constanze: thus are you punished for your words. just by way of reminder, president obama had approval ratings in germany that were basically 250%, you know, going upwards. i was at the speech that he gave in britain's version of central park. the summer of 2008. with 200,000 people who had come could to see him. when he was still just a candidate. i think he's still -- he still pretty much has rockstar status in my country. that's a benchmark that no german politician is going to achieve that easily, right? the other thing is, of course, that merkel is an odd candidate for the title of a beacon of the free world because s

i think that trump -- i this that trump should put out a new edition of his work, the art of blowing the deal. you do not do this if you are in a serious negotiating posture. he took this off the table. he put his troops to work on one direction and then with no warning, based on a tweet, reversed his direction. he's now destroyed the leverage of the people who were trying to get this thing done the way he said with no head's up. that is called blowing the deal. now, he may find some way to get out of it, but you cannot pretend this is a good way to do business and it is not a normal way to do business when presidents are trying to get major legislation done. >> jeffrey, let me ask that question. i mean, if you are for instance trying to get conservatives on and you say we'll repeal it now and talk about something later, what's their incentive to give a little ground on their hard line position? i'm trying to understand your argument for saying that's going to help the negotiation along, rather than hurt it. >> what i'm saying that donald trump is a master negotiator. he, like ronald

and trump is destroying it. not just with the paris agreement, but with pulling out of the tpp, the transpacific partnership, by refusing to affirm article 5 of nato, by flirting with pulling out of nafta. he is destroying the underpinnings of american power and prosperity. and he doesn't realize it. he is too dense to realize what he is doing. >> and steve bannon loves that he is doing it. the first two things that max boot just mentioned benefit china, donald trump's supposed nemesis. he is actually helping china to assume global leadership. so that can't be a good thing. so why do you suppose that his followers, his base, his voters are so much for this? >> well, remember the campaign. it was really about anger and resentment. if you went to any of those rallies, it was about calling out the mexicans, calling out the chinese. this sort of lashing out at the world, at people who didn't look like his supporters. and this is -- this is more of that. it's about he is portraying himself as the kind of obama's phot

alan: the washington post is anti-trump. allrnational media is anti-trump. the point is, what trump said in brussels --'s famous street in caps -- was correct. america has a large trade deficit in germany. if germany spent what it is supposed to spend on the fence, and if it bought that stuff in america, the trade deficit would not be so great, and the germans -- "you americans cannot build cars." that is not the point. it was pretty good that trump told them where they could -- erik: tom has a very important -- trump has a very important point about the 2%. those who know what nato is will say you have a point. why can't the nato partners spend what they promised on the fence? the united states has been spending wealth on defense. why can't the europeans do that as well? west germanyer, was defended by nato and the united states, so now it is time for the rich countries in europe to spend what they promised on defense. what is the problem? rieke: you might have a point. i mean, the way he made that point, the way he acted with all these world leaders, i thi

president donald trump. trump's attorney says comey is not telling the truth. his testimony under oath. the sacked fbi chief accused the trump adminisistration of lying about him, saying the white house deliberately sought to defame him and the fbi. we will get reaction from washington. also on the show, who will lead britain into those all important brexit negotiations? there is just one hour left for voters to cast their ballots. theresa may is facing an unexpectedly strong challenge from jeremy corbyn and labour. and meet the contender in the gymnastics festival. after decades in the sport, he is still wowing spectators. i am brent goff. it is good to have you with us. "those were lies, plain and simple." those were the words james comey's today to describe u.s. president donald trump. comey told u.s. senators that after trump fired him, the president then tried to defame him and the fbi. comey also said he was stunned when trump tried to get him to end a probe into former national security adviser, michael flynn. flynn is part of an investigation as part of

trump. he has done so many things up to this point, including not releasing his taxes and not divesting himself from his interests and has continued to profit while he is the sitting president and congress is taking no action. with regards to the back channel, i thought back channels or something reserved for sitting administrations. mr. kushner was not appointed at the time as advisor to trump. so how is it possible that he would create a back channel with russia and hide it from our government? that is problematic. think for thei back channel, the assumption was that the channel would exist once the administration began. it wasn't simply a back channel prior to the assumption of power thatt was a back channel would be used as soon as donald trump got into power. on the question of the u.s. democracy, this is a unique time in american politics. one can see that it is a challenge of our system of government and checks and balances but in light of how this story is playing in the united state

both of those parties are vying separate from donald trump. donald trump isn't really republican. question is who are we. who do we stand for. who are the democratic ambassadors and in the house race who's are the democratic candidates. you look at montana and georgia and other elections there's an idea donald trump can win because he's more popular. you need candidates can bring in the bernie sanders and hillary clinton more 340d rat parties. moderate parties. >> democrats saw hundreds of marches angry people at town halls. people protesting. so they're seeing all this energy on the streets and they were thinking they could make it all about donald trump and this election as hillary clinton learned in the presidential election this election is proof in a number of districts especially the purple district you can't make it all about donald trump you have to mark it about the right kaepd thcandida that fitds the district. that fits the district >> what has to happen with nancy pelosi. >> it's a great question there's a lot of loyalty she's a great fund raraiser and effective sper b

this is not apologizing for trump. i think there are things trump has to change if he's going to be successful. but i do think that he has been a remarkable figure up to now. just take the trump -- everybody thought he couldn't do foreign policy, and he was naive and all this stuff. his first experience in travel is going to riyadh, where the king of saudi arabia comes to meet him at the airport, which he would never do for obama. the king spends 2 1/2 days at his size. every time he's in public, the king is next to him. they invite 57 countries, basically the entire sunni world, to come to a meeting, which is very successful. he then signs about $400 billion in contracts, or his cabinet does. they then become the first president ever to fly directly from riyadh to tel aviv, to israel. now, just that one -- later on, they do everything on the trip, but just that one experience -- barack obama had done that, the "new york times" would have swooned. the entire front page, long articles about his genius, his brilliance. b

a short time ago, president trump had this to say. president trump: it is a great honor to have the prime minister of india. he has been such a great prime minister. speaking with them and reading about you, you have it -- you have done a great job economically. he has done very well in many other ways. however, president trump was not the first meeting for the prime minister during his visit. on sunday he met with some of the biggest u.s. tech names, including tim cook, jeff bezos, and a google head. for more insight on these meetings we are joined by the assistant director for the asian policy society institute. what is at stake for this meeting between president trump and prime minister modi today? >> this is essentially a first date. his fifth visit the united states in three years in office. he has invested a lot of political capital and time in moving india closer than the united states. on the u.s. side, president trump need some good news. he wants this to be a relationship that works well. on both sides there are win win issu

or was trump trying to do more than that? was trump really trying to influence him? and did trump know what he was doing? whatever it was, it really unnerved comey. it really bothered him. if there is anything we know about jim comey and he has been widely criticized by folks of the aisle is that he prizes his independence. and he thought trump was really encroaching on that. what he tried to do was take the attorney general and use him as a shield and basically say please, attorney general, be a buffer between the white house and me, be a buffer between trump and me. and the attorney general couldn't reassure comey that he would do that. >> interesting tactic on someone's part, getting this narrative, this story, this thread out there two days in advance of the testimony. let me ask this, when something like this would happen in comy's life and career, all these white house encounters, how big or small a circle of people did he then report back to at the fbi? is that going to be an issue on thursday? >> that's really one of the questions here. and kpoemy is going to

trump has this effect on peopleh rush was talking about the laser being, that trump brings out the best in people and the worst in people. right now he's bringing out the worst in cnn. in all the other fake news, they are very fake news. it's hard to defend your integrity when you are firing three people, when some of your best and brightest analysts are saying something that is directly opposite from what your network has been pushing for the last couple of months. dave had a rough stretch. kathy griffin. they had to retract that whole story about the coming memo and what he was going to say during the hearing. they are in for a little rough stress courtesy of james o'keefe. everyone has to watch what they say because you never know when a cam is going to be there. >> juan: i think this is an overreaction. i'm amazed that anybody thinking the media doesn't make mistakes, it's just like talking to yourn: friends on facebook. >> kimberly: not like this. >> juan: they made a mistake, and guess what. we know networks, and we know newspapers that have had too retract stories and haven't fir

he did not endorse donald trump. but since then, he is part of donald trump's agenda. he celebrated neil gorsuch being confirmed to the court. when he is asked about the health care bill, ben sasse asked about it. you can't get him to say anything about the health care bill. but he condemns the tone and then go about voting. >> there is no cost to them coming out today. pretending they have a moral conscience. the reality is donald trump thinks of himself as a king. his children are part of the family misses. the couriers to the king may despise the king. >> they the often do. >> with you there are things they wanted to do to the commoners. it is the king who has to sell to the comers. they never liked them. donald trump is a means to the end. these republicans couldn't give a dam about. he is going to sell them on losing their health care and make them sound good. >> having the last moment of decency with mccarthy, there is no moment. is there a line? >> usually the mccarthy example, is the past prologue or have we changed so greatly as a people? the world is sgaching

now trump went, yay! i imagine everything in hillary's house is bent in rage -- the spoons, the forks, bill, everyone, just bent over, like, ahhh! ( laughter ) you know, at first, i didn't get why the republicans were so ballsy with gutting america's healthcare. but after watching this rally, i finally understood their confidence. they know their bill is a giant turd, but they also know that if the trump is selling, his people are buying. we'll be right back.

trump. and i don't know what happens after four years or after eight years trump goes away. i'm not sure the republican party stays like that. i'm not sure. i think the republican party has a much more difficult task going forward for that reason. >> ron, you think the democrats are much more coherent and in much better shape than republicans? >> first of all, it is great to be here and i say it, i'm glad to be back at the place where i learned most of the things that i learned about politics and did some of my best work at bob's right hand. look, i think i would add that there are structural reasons for the foreseeable the candidates will carry label democrat and republican while i do not think that there's going to be a serious third-party threat here. but what those labels mean is really what is up for grabs and whether or not they mean anything at all, i think is really up for grabs and our political parties are kind of like department stores. they're big, complicated, aggregations and a

trump is just being trump in his no-fly none. he is not darth vader either. he's like a mix, like a non- baiter or flying dart. number four, comey does not feel very well. >> the very disturbing thing, very disturbing, a whole lot of personal pain for me. that gave me a queasy feeling. >> greg: the guy takes the job toy her. i think our new sponsor might be able to help you, jimmy. >> does your boss confuse you? confuse me can concerns me. >> i asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with the reporter. >> to see make your belly hurt? >> this is tell terrible, it makes me mildly nauseous. >> it might be time to try queasy. you can shake off that icky feeling into your job. >> he repeatedly told me i wasst doing a good job and hoped i would stay. >> queasy might just save your career. do not take columbia law t professors will taken queasy. talk to doctors to see if taking queasy is right for you. [applause] th >> greg: last but not least, remember the report about the trump campaign colluded with russia using surveillance, was a true, james com

and now donald trump will put in maybe chris christie. >> president trump is apparently, likely to reach outside the fbi for a replacement director. >> there was some interesting sightings in d.c., actually. i saw on twitter that rudy giuliani was at trump's d.c. hotel overnight. >> seth: so the next fbi director could be chris christie or rudy giuliani. at least reporters won't have to exercise to keep up with them. [ laughter ] now democrats are, of course, up in arms, but this moment poses a crucial test for the republican party as well. will they stand up and defend democratic institutions under threat from trump, or will they continue to choose party over country? you know, people like marco rubio, come on marco, you've been one of the most outspoken critics of russia and it's interference in this election. you are gonna strongly condemn this move, right? >> so -- i'm surprised. you know, i didn't see it coming, but it's a decision the president's made, and we'll go from here. >> seth: ugh, come on, marco! is marco rubio your name or is it the spell a wizard used to make your spine

trump, and donald j. trump represents the end of their world. 97% of the people at justice who donated, donated to hillary clinton. 97-3. guess what that culture is like. judge jeanine: i get that. but as you look at this, you say jim comey testified when he left the f.b.i., the president was not under investigation. that we get from him under oath. then he says he leaks information so we can get the special counsel. now there are leaks that the president is under investigation. that tells me mueller's operation is no better than comey's and there are leaks, assuming they are even true. and what's even worse is mueller and jim comey are like this. they always have been. how can we have a special counsel assisting the -- assessing the credibility of two major witnesses who is pals with jim comey? >> to the degree comey is involved, mulier in theory should -- mueller in theory should recuse himself. you cannot investigate somebody you are a personal friend of. that's why this whole thing is so absurd. comey

one has to wonder where is president trump right now? >> he is at his golf club in virginia at this moment. he left not very long ago. haven't seen a recent pool report, being the small group of reporters who are set to travel with the president wherever he goes. but they have arrived not long ago in sterling, virginia, at the trump national golf club. so not a lot coming out of the white house today. we hope to get more definitive answers on this including whether they will use executive privilege soon. >> all right. perhaps in one way preparing for what could be a pretty interesting week to say the very least. atheep na jones, thank you so much. let's talk more about this. with me cnn politics reporter steven colinson and political analyst julien zoeller, a professor at princeton university. steven, you first, how will the white house try to justify a need for executive privilege? >> that's the big question. it looks like it's not going to be very easy for them to make that case, since the president spoke about his conversations with j

donald trump won by nearly ten points. many embraced his promise to stand up to the rest of the world. >> why not at least treat ourselves fairly first. that was the message of donald trump's campaign. >> reporter: for small business owners like aftteresa, she vote for donald trump and believes he has her best interest in mind. >> i think he can make it divisive. i'm going to be fair about it. you know, i think he is trying, but the way he knows how. i think he has a different way. >> reporter: it is a way that sometimes may make her feel uncomfortable. >> it appears strong, but this is actually what he is really trying to do. it makes sense. ev instead of taking everything he says literally, i know he should be careful on that. >> reporter: to the trump supporters here, it is still a better way. >> i think every day that he wakes up and gets, you know, taken on by the rachel maddows of the world and kathy griffins of the world, he continues on. >> reporter: the main message that got him elected. >> we will make america gr

i want to stick with trump. what intrigues me now, within the last month or two, you seriously toyed with the proposition ofjoining the trump team, in a sense, by taking seriously deep thought you might become trump's new director of the fbi. how could you do that? if you say, it at the beginning of the interview, have serious reservations about the trump style? who i am. who are a lot of people used to be in american politics. here is what i mean. but not so many anymore unfortunately. i was raised to believe if the president of united states calls to service, of the country, you have a profound obligation to take that seriously, probably do it unless there is a good reason. really, even if it is donald trump? he has fired his fbi chief, because, and we now know from the testimony ofjames comey, he feels that donald trump was telling him to close down an investigation into his first national security adviser, general mike flynn. 0r connected with the allegations... i don't want to quibble about words. we'll kno

trump's role in the trump corporation. and mr. cohen said, i will not do this as a lawyer but under subpoena. he has a pretty legitimate way to protect his consultations with trump during and pre-presidency? >> we'll have to see. pre-presidency, i'm not sure you can make a legal argument any of the conversations were executive privilege. >> right. i only meant attorney-client privilege. >> that's possible. i'm not sure the discussions he purportedly had with ukrainian oligarch and others about setting up this back channel to orchestrate a ukraine -- a settlement to the ukraine war in return for the lifting of u.s. sanctions, i'm not sure that's considered attorney-client privilege. >> and certainly not communications with his client, donald trump. when you look at what you're hearing from the committee, is there more attention from the trump organization following the money and those issues or should that not be inferred in the subpoena because he played so many roles, it's hard to know exactly what he's being fingered for. >> exa

campaign and trump himself. now, if i had described those three facts to you a year ago, didn't even have to use the name of the president, any president, like president clinton or some other president, right, you would have said this would not be partisan. there would be democrats and republicans all over this. they would be all over this. and instead we have a lot of republicans who have just not been willing to step up to the plate. in fact, i want you to watch what the republicans are doing. we've got to talk about republican majority in the house and senate are doing as well. right now, they have got a president who will sign off on pretty much anything they can get organized and get through. that means they are out there doing trickle down economics on steroids. they are out there rolling back the regulations and trying to do everything they can to help that thin slice at the top, and they are doing it. so just look at the first weeks after donald trump was sworn in and what happens. so xiong passes a bill

eric trump , se defendiÓ de las acusaciones. contrario a los reportes de la organizaciÓn trump, no ha recibido ganancias de la fundaciÓn o derivadas de ninguna de sus actividades. presentadoras. la revista, tambiÉn asegura que mÁs de $500,000 fueron a parar a otras organizaciones de caridad, mucha de las cuales estaba conectada con la familia trump o con sus intereses. presentadora: hace meses las autoridades de los angeles, anunciaron la creaciÓn de un fondo para la representaciÓn legal de emigrantes amenazÓ con la deportaciÓn. a uno se dispone el dinero. jaime garcÍa no dice por quÉ es urgente el estatus de santuario ante el sistema de deportaciÓn.

and trump presidency. bob and i hosted a conference in late november after the election and everyone who participated in that event i think was a bit stunned because of the unexpected outcome, and now we're almost 100 days into the administration and i think we're still probably a bit disoriented by the whirlwind of events that have been taking place, from russia to syria, wire tapping, travel ban, north korea, repeal and replacement of obamacare, supreme court nomination, tax reform, the list goes on. we're going to today try to make sense of many of these things with the help of an amazing group of experts, from the usc [ inaudible ] and beyond. in planning these conferences, principle goal that bob and i have -- have used is to bring together in dialogue the perspectives, insights of scholars and also those active in the world of public affairs. i think then it is appropriate that this marriage of perspectives is taking place in this particular venue which is known as town and gown. so let me provide yo

trump wanted comey to bow to him or bow out. when he refused trump knocked him over. he didn't even bother calling the man to tell him he was fired. then robert mueller. soon the word began oozing the president didn't like him. he was too close to comey. trump soon made it clear he wanted mueller gone. now trump is beating the drum or tweeting at dawn for the head of rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general who he used to fire comey or at least used as an excuse to fire comey. we have see the pattern. you've get a job investigating donald trump you find your job in jeopardy. there's an investigation an arrow pointing in an historic direction. it's called the saturday night massacre. as long as trump longs to fire the guy coming at him it's only a matter of time the fuse reaches the bomb and we learned that donald trump has a very short fuse. that's "hardball." thanks for being with us. >> tonight on all in -- the president attacks his own justice department. >> i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. witch
