that quote hurt donald trump and we know that it hurt donald trump. we know donald trump cared a lot about that quote because he very angrily tweeted about it this morning attacking congresswoman wilson. democrat congresswoman fabricated what i said to the wife of a soldier who died in action and i have proof. sad. there it is. there's the proof. of how much he cares about what he was quoted as saying to the widow of sergeant johnson. if he tweets he cares. if he doesn't tweet, he does not care. and that was the president's very first tweet about any one of those four soldiers who were killed in action. and that tweet came 14 days after they were killed in action. that tweet came two days after the president was asked by reporters why he had not yet said a single word about the four soldiers killed on the deadliest day of combat under donald trump as commander in chief. that tweet came two days after donald trump insisted that he is the only president who bothered to call families of soldiers killed in the line of duty, a lie that was immediately beat

no thanks to donald trump but it's still ticking along. a lot of americans are tempted to say, much ado about nothing but it has no effect on us. >> let me bring jeremy bash in. this national security question is one often debated by elites and among elites. i do hear from the trump voters that i met in january and went out and talked to a dozen times that what they liked about trump was the promise of isolationism. that while elites understand the dangers, george bush gave a speech where he talked about the dangers of not combating threats in far away places, are that they come to our shores. but that's what people wanted. that's what they chose. they were tired of our -- of the iraq war, the wars in afghanistan. but i wonder if there's an open question now and something that democrats might also be talking about if the sort of result of four years of isolationism is something that changes the political landscape. >> it's an incoherent isolationism. on the one hand, yes, he's saying, i want out of trade deals but he's tripping us into glo

onto the cold of donald trump, the persona of donald trump. the people that a talk to and some in the audience that a most frustrated with trump are conservatives. they are feeling like my god, we've been working the conservative movement for decades, and this is the result? this is what's been produced? the political currents right now are vicious and confused, , buti think it all gets back to the 1960s and early '70s. reagan uses a undrinkable back the great society. i think trump if he had his way would like to roll back the great society and the new deal. >> how about you, mara? what a a surprise you about all the surprises? >> i guess what surprised me is that donald trump is exactly as it was during the campaign. in other words, there was some kind of weird magical thinking that this was all an act, that he used to be a democrat, that he would revert to this kind isf to become the alternative universe of the three of donald trump is what doug suggested is that because he was so unique that he could busbars and bowed and which are bigger

in other words, it is not donald trump. donald trump does want to obliterate obama. just anything obama did. but the conservative far right conservative wing of the party that he has empowered, they would like to roll back the new deal. so it is not so much him. he has not thought this through. he has allied himself with that part of party. they have thought this through. little by little at the department of justice, neil gorsuch on the supreme court, those things might be chipped away at. he likes big government in many ways. he wants big structure programs. he likes social security and medicare. in that way, he is at odds with his party. the obamacare bills he has been for, every single one of them are completely the opposite of what he campaigned on. >> in florida, he would love big government to help with the hurricane, because it helps him get reelected. >> democrats do not root for impeachment.

therefore, donald trump is right. myeshias johnson is wrong because it's impossible for the widow of the army sergeant to have a better memory than someone that went to an ivy league college, has high intelligence and the greatest memory of all time. i have no no doubt people still tonight trump supporters believe that there is absolutely no comparison between myeshia johnson's memory and one of the great memories of all time. the memory that belongs to donald trump. people who are still trump supporters seem to believe in donald trump's personal superiority over everyone including themselves. in all things, wealth, intelligence, memory. republican senator jeff flake was never a believer in donald trump. he boldly refused to endorse donald trump in the campaign last year even after trump was the republican nominee and senator flake disclosed that he did not vote for donald trump on election day and response to senator flake's eloquent speech against the president in the senate yesterday when the senator announced that

this had nothing to do with donald trump. luckily, to the n.f.l.'s credit, they stood up to the bully in chief. >> the president versus the players. hundreds of athletes sending a message to president trump. >> from coast to coast, even in london, players sending that message to the president from the football field linking arms like patriots quarterback tom brady, some kneeling, raising fists. >> the majority of football players choosing to stay in the locker room till after the anthem was over. some singers taking a knee along with players. >> owners throwing support behind their teams, from 18 teams during the anthem side by side with their players. >> trevor: okay, hold up. ( laughter ) who the hell is that with the mustache? i didn't know you could make enough money in vaudeville to buy a football team. a lieutenant of money. ( laughter ) it was important that the weekend's protests included not just the n.f.l. players but the owners, too. when you think about how powerful this is, a lot of these owners supported donald trump. so you know it hu

i don't know the donald trump factor. i do know in some races where donald trump weighed in, his supporters are for him and they don't translate over. he can fly in and motivate people in the states when the general comes. these primaries back home with steve bannon and all that going on, people will disassociate themselves from washington and republican primaries, and usually they like who they elected the time before, so i am not concerned of that many republicans getting knocked out of primaries, and the two i respected, flake and coker, were outstanding members and i am sad and disappointed they are leaving. >> at the same time, they vote with trump 94, 93% of the time, and they are not against him on policy but on style. to the point that was just made, the base of the republican party likes trump, his style, and they don't like the fact that in their view members of congress won't back him up 100%, and i am not sure how donald trump, even with his base with him, it doesn't help republicans in the midterms at all. >>

in other words, it is not donald trump. donald trump does want to obliterate obama. just anything obama did. but the conservative far right conservative wing of the party that he has empowered, they would like to roll back the new deal. so it is not so much him. he has not thought this through. he has allied himself with that part of party. they have thought this through. little by little at the department of justice, neil gorsuch on the supreme court, those things might be chipped away at. he likes big government in many ways. he wants big structure programs. he likes social security and medicare. in that way, he is at odds with his party. the obamacare bills he has been for, every single one of them are completely the opposite of what he campaigned on. >> in florida, he would love big government to help with the hurricane, because it helps him get reelected. >> democrats do not root for impeachment.

donald trump doesn't like people. what he does is sees them as useful or not useful and he sees them asmir rohring him and supporting him or opposing him and diminishing him and there's certainly no question that right now he sees tillerson as someone who is an injury to his sense of himself. >> henry freedman, associate professor of. [ silence ] -- professor of psychiatry. he says paranoid, hyper sensitive, grandiose ill-informed leader such as donald trump, who has surrounded himself with a cabinet and set of advisers who are able to bring him out of his paranoid suspicions and insis ten sis or, worse, identify with his positions, represents a multi-dimensional threat to our country and the world. when a psychiatrist sees us that way, that's the definition of the duty to warn. >> exactly. the goldwater rule itself which is the ethical guideline not to diagnose a public figure in the open falls under the ethical principle that we participate in activities that promote public health and public mental health and so whe

donald trump. the word brave has absolutely no application in the same sentence with the word trump. and it dishonors any other use of the word brave that you might like to make if you use that word to describe donald trump. it was especially stunning coming from a military man who knows what brave is. coming from a military man who has lived that bravery himself. has risked his own life. whose sons have served and lived that bravery. it was especially stunning for that man to use that word about donald trump. brave. general kelly said he just explained to the president only three days ago how to make condolence calls, meaning he just explained to the president how to make condolence calls immediately after reporters asked the president who y he had not made those four condolence calls. >> so when i gave that explanation to our president three days ago, he elected to make phone calls in the case of the four young men who we lost in niger at the earlier part of this month. but then he said, you know

do you think donald trump is a racist? to see this president embrace some of the most negative, nasty aspects of society, makes me go to that question. i think that his actions have been racist, i really do believe that. applause booing i think that donald trump is someone who wants the best for this nation, and for all americans. applause very simple question, very simple answer. donald trump wants the best for everybody in this nation, and for everybody in this nation, and for all americans. is he a racist? no. no. bernice king? the verdict is still out, he has a lot of work to prove otherwise, but the verdict is still out. i appreciate the question, i respect the question, but what does it solve, by asking that question. don't question her rights to ask the question... simple question... how many of you think that donald trump is a racist? frank, i know that you are a pollster, but we cannot keep on doing straw polls with the audience. do you want my answer, that question, and we heard from the people here, listened to

donald trump is returning us to that. as a result, our democracy, our institution, rule of law will be stronger. that is what we need to measure. [applause] newt: that was a tactical mistake to bring up the lower court decision by a judge who was overruled by the supreme court. that is one of the complaints of conservatives about the judicial system. you look at the ninth circuit court, which is crazy. you look at the individual judges out there, who are crazy. they make decisions that are crazy. on national security grounds, the president and -- in the constitution as commander in chief has the obligation to take the steps to defend america. should interpose themselves in a way which makes america more horrible to attack and then be shocked if the president says you just made america more vulnerable to the attack. it is not at all inappropriate. franklin delano roosevelt attacked the courts. i appreciate jefferson's appreciation of the media. i always thought his newspaper to attack his opponent was an example of the fre

she covered the candidacy of donald trump. along the way, the future president often singled her out for criticism. her new memoir documents that experience. i am pleased to have her back at this table. welcome. it is great to have you here. you have not seen the president since the election? katy: not in person since the election -- or the inauguration, i should say. charlie: tell me what people are saying about you today? katy: there are questions about what exactly is going on inside the white house. what does the president do every day? is he fully invested as the day-to-day operations of governing as he needs to be? why is he getting so distracted by cable news still? also, has he lost a step? dave sherman wrote a report in vanity fair about this and essentially said what i have been hearing from my sources within the trump orbit. there seems to be something different about him today then during the campaign. one person read the book and asked do you think something has changed? charlie: summary asked you that -- somebody

>> first it tells you people who voted for donald trump were not huge fans of donald trump. it's sort of a consistent thing, we haven't seen the numbers move a ton, what you see that is important on the other side of that which is about 35% of the country that supports donald trump in everything that he does, that believes in everything he does. and that is a majority of the republican party, once he won that primary he got a lot of republicans who did not like hillary clinton very much to vote for him. if i recall correctly, about 50% of his voters said he was not fit to be president and voted for him anyway. >> i remember steve kornacki bringing that up over and over and looking at the numbers of the man who is now president. kimberly, can you remember a time when the factions of a party has gotten so much attention and as we said, earlier in the broadcast an hour ago seems to be steering in that party's direction? >> no, i can't, in recent history and not to this extent, we are seeing that reflected in these numbers, but when you look at the polls the majority of people a

new york city living up to its sensory status to defy donald trump. city council expected to unanimously approve a bill that would ban the nypd from partnering with ice and other federal agencies to enforce immigration law or track undocumented immigrants altogether. of approved the wall would further defy the trump administration's thread to withdraw federal funding from all sanctuary cities. now back to this. bombshell indictments against paul man is about afort and richard gates. they have nothing to do with the trump campaign. what is next in the investigation? here is more on the legal fallout. thank you for joining us earlier this morning. not a huge surprise because this was leaked on friday. >> not a huge surprise, but what is a surprise is in that 31 page indictment there is no evidence connecting any of paul man is of aford's activities to the trump campaign and that was the reason a special prosecutor was brought into this case to begin with. that is the bombshell. >> that is what people don't understand and we can bring up the timeline of

donald trump was willing to a anything. -- donald trump was willing to say anything. he wasn't trying to win votes with empty promises. not even that, they do not hold him accountable for what he said he would do. if he went to washington and decided to reverse course on any number of issues, i would argue many of his supporters would stay with him because ultimately, what they wanted more was the man and not the policies. one quick anecdote. he does not have many policies beyond we will build a wall and have extreme vetting or the muslim ban or we will lower tax rates. charlie: you have the iran deal. katy: yeah. i was speaking to one man outside a rally in ohio and asked why he liked donald trump. the man said he will build a law. i said what if he doesn't. his response was, it is ok, i trust his judgment. charlie: didn't he say i could shoot somebody on 5th avenue -- katy: and i still have my supporters. that is how they felt about him. they were rabidly enthusiastic about donald trump. some would show it was not just the folks who went to the rally and the like th

donald trump has had feuds past. he has picked on mich mcconnell and his republican rivals who ran against him for the presidency. he has criticised various people. but bob corker has been pushing back. bannon is operating as a free agent and he is talk about the same senators and while people have been trying to guide donald trump back to a more mainstream position, he still has a lot of anti—establishment rebel. he doesn't see himself as part of republican party, he is happy to aim his fire at whoever draws his ire at that particular time. i am sure he will carry on doing it and we will keep on talking about it. thank you. thank you. now those whose lives could be changed by what permits may or may not be available to people who came into the us as children illegally, well their wait goes on. the bbc has been speaking to some of them. well their wait goes on. the bbc has been speaking to some of themm brea ks been speaking to some of themm breaks my heart and it breaks me mentally. i remember being little, knowin

donald trump, when he ran, i can remember in my twitter feed, you need to vote for president donald trump because he's a peacekeeper. >> in particular, a nuclear war. i mean the catastrophe of a nuclear war ought not to be lost on anybody. look, two things, i find this disturbing and one of the reasons i was a trump skeptic early on was the notion of donald trump with his button on the nuclear button, and i know that's an exaggeration, but the blunder of a war because of a miscommunication, and when you have a president tweeting out erratically, that creates the kind of environment that ought to put everybody on edge. we are talking about casualties in the millions when we talk about the worse case scenario. it is disturbing. >> you know, analyzing it from the north korea perspective, and donald trump traveling to the region and continuing those kinds of taunts. is there a resistance in that regime to a lot of those taunts, or do they have the fear of getting north korea to prepare itself for war with us? >> this rhetoric is not productive or helpful, and it's feeding the propaganda for t

it's not donald trump. donald trump does want to obliterate. obama. just anything obama did. but the conservative, far right conservative wing of the party that he's empowered and brought into his administration, they would like to roll back the new deal. so it's not so much him. he hasn't thought this through. he's allied himself with that wing of the party who has thought this through, thought this out very carefully and little by little at the department of justice, kneel gorsuch on the supreme court, those things night be chipped away. ideology. have an he likes big government in many ways. he wants big infrastructure programs. he loves social security and medicare. and in that way he's at odds with his party. the obamacare bills he has been for, every single one of them, are completely the opposite of what he campaigned on. >> in florida, he would love big government for florida to help with the hurricanes. help him get re-elected there. >> democrats do not root for impeachment. >> light hearted question. for all of you. speaking of presidential traditions and new orlean

the hit piece on donald trump, unverified allegations about connections with russia. the washington post reported the firm fusion gps was hired by an attorney representing the dnc and clinton campaign to dig up dirt on donald trump, the firm hired former british intelligence officer christopher steele who had ties to the fbi before buzz feed published it in january. former spokesman for hillary clinton tweeting i have no idea even if a shred of that dossier helps mueller it will prove money well spent, this as we learn a source within the podesta group, a lobbying firm cofounded by hillary clinton campaign tucker carlson, the russia investigation coming back by the democrats. >> a former senior employee of the podesta group worked there for years, motivated to contact us by the discussed he felt watching media coverage of the russia story. not only were most reporters getting it wrong but getting it backwards. the resins were deeply involved in american politics but the real story had nothing to do with the 2016 presidential campaign. >> reporter: two house committees

what donald trump didn't do here? is he didn't withdraw from the iran nuclear deal as the president of the united states. he can withdraw the country from it whenever he wants now that doesn't mean that the nuclear deal ceases to exist after all there are plenty of other countries that signed up for it and they've as you heard just now. all rules still sticking to this agreement don't from also did not sir did not announce that he wanted to renegotiate this agreement straight away. instead he punted it took congress. and what congress we will now do is it basically has three different options. one is to decide to change nothing and leave the nuclear deal as is that would mean that all trump and ninety days truck timime would probably. have to decide whether to certify the deal again or not. another option for congress is this one it would be to impose new sanctions may be similar to the ones. that were eliminated with that sanction relief that iran got a in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program if those sanctions

- right. - instead, macy's dropped donald trump, univision dropped donald trump, nbc dropped donald trump's miss universe pageant, and they said you know we need somebody to cover this story tonight for nightly news. - yeah. - and one of the nightly news producers, who's a good friend of mine volunteered me. katy tur's just standing around, she can do it. - take her, right. - and so i did, and i did a couple more stories, but the next thing i knew i was getting a call from the president of nbc news saying "we're gonna put you on this campaign full time." and then i was being assured don't worry, it will just be six weeks. - this is an actual, this is an actual quote, right? - yeah. - from an nbc news executive, don't worry, it'll be six weeks tops. - and then you'll go back to london. - you'll go back to london. - and hey, if he wins, you'll go the white house. - right. - to which he laughed, and the elevator doors closed. - closed, great seeing you. - and he left, it was cinematic. - right, yeah. so you never actually go back, in fact you were waiting to go on a vacation in italy with your

that was the idea, naÏve idea, i do believe donald trump should be certified to deal and two ways donald trump can come out winning for the united states, actually negotiate a better deal with the iranians, close these loopholes, hammer down on their support for terrorism, the other way he can win for the united states is to walk away from a bad deal, something obama was not willing to do, negotiate the power willing to walk away come of the power that has more leverage and can get a better deal. >> it was a campaign promise he said he would keep so we will see, thank you for joining us early this morning. >> an urgent race to escape relentless wildfires, authorities going door-to-door telling people to get out before it is too late. for many it is already too late. in santa rosa, everything has burned to the ground. >> this is a wasteland. when you look around, property after property has been destroyed out here, you see the car behind me looks like it has gone through armageddon and that is what we are seeing going street by street. this morning 23 people have died. this could be the d

so how does donald trump react? he put puerto rico on notice tweeting on thursday we cannot keep if he marks the military and first responders who have been amazing under the most difficult circumstances in pr forever. joining us now, the speaker of the new york city council. your reaction. >> it's sadistic. here are people who are suffering. and you have the audacity to talk about turning your backs when people are in crisis. level of anxiety that that produces on people who are already stressed and dealing with incredible difficult circumstances. it does not make sense at all. it's obscene. again, as you were indicating the electric grid is a yo-yo. incredibly unstable. one day you have 80% people covered. next day back at 91% people not covered. it's fragile. there's still not enough water or food getting into very remote areas. puerto rico is relatively large when you look at the caribbean. not that big but 135 miles by 100 miles but mountainous areas where you have not seen any federal presence. we have volunte

don't try to drag donald trump into this. don't try -- you're saying he was involved to understood cut his election. he won his election fair and square and what the russians did is something separate. i can understand republicans making that case. >> yep. >> if that's what they believe. what's started to happen now the white house in particular is really trying to get away with saying that the russians did nothing wrong and doing that at the same time that rex tillerson is dissolving the sanctions office in the state department. that the white house is drags its feet for sanctions against russia for what they did in the election and protecting yourselves the department of homeland security, d.o.d. and others should be well down the road of protecting us an they're. that surrender to what russia has done, that's a patriotism thing, not a partisanship thing and makes me sad. >> absolutely. it is not sunday but you can get an amen on that, sister. thank you very much. >> thank you, my friend. i'll look forward to my bedazzled t

donald trump do solemnly swear donald trump has been in office less than a year but this is perhaps the most significant day of his presidency so far on monday two of his former associates avoided handcuffs and turned themselves into the authorities in washington the first is paul mann afford the former chair of donald trump's presidential election campaign the other is rick gates a longtime business associate of matter forts and worked with the white house until march both men appeared in court pleading not guilty to a dozen charges they include conspiracy against the united states also to launder money acting as an agent for a foreign principal providing false statements to investigators and failure to report foreign bank accounts there is no evidence that mr mann of fort with a trunk campaign colluded with the russian government. the announcement which caught many off guard that a third person tied to the truck campaign george papadopoulos had pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. that was over the timing of his meetings with alleged go betweens for russia he is now cooperating with the

habit of mind seen with donald trump a lot. i don't know, or nobody knows when knowledge is available and he's misrepresenting or lying about it. >> fits into category of shocking but not surprising. what we're seeing ari, might be described as infantilization of the american president. president, instead of seen as most powerful person in the world with best information in the world and best staff is treated as a kind of boy king not expected to know anything because he's too immature and doesn't really know what he's doing. think we're becoming conditioned to that which is itself shocking but not surprising. >> look at that intersecting with something you've been writing about, goes to sense of patriotism. journalists allowed to be fair and factual and also feel patriotism. you've written about why it's painful for patriotic journalists to see this situation of the boy king. what more perfect demonstration in this serious discussion about how we deal with fallen soldiers, the reporters almost want to feed back to the presiden

that produced the dossier on candidate donald trump. a conservative website has confirmed to the house intelligence committee that it initially retaininged the firm to conduct opposition research on trump and other candidates, they stopped funding the project in the spring of 2016 at which point hillary clinton's campaign picked up the funding of the roth. we also learned new details of the firm that worked with the trump campaign. rebecca mercer, the trump mega donor. rebecca mercer in august of 2016 asked whether the company could better organize the hillary clinton relateds e-mails being released by wikileaks. here's how adam schiff described the connection today on morning joe. >> here you have the head of the data analytics campaign reaching out to a foreign intelligence agency affiliated and working with the russians. you also have peter smith in contact with flynn. and reaching out to russians on the dark web to look for these e-mails. there's an extraordinary number of connections between the campaign and those who are stealing

this is the fortunate deflate spoke i asked you if donald trump would be able to just brush this all what do you think now. well this shows again that the republican party is a very divided probably more deep right isn't ever it is not only a war of war but it is becoming a civil war within the republican party on the one side we see the nationalist populist movement that supported donald trump during his campaign because of his promises and on the other hand we can see the traditional conservative republicans who might not be hundred percent trump supporters but they were hoping to get their agenda through with donald trump as president and these are the ones who are starting to get louder with their critics against arnold tram experts have also come in and hear that there might be other senators and other congressman who think this way about donald trump but they would not dare to speak a lot over the corresponding to really mitchell in washington we're going to be speaking with you again on the day about this developing story so really you you think. well after much anticipation a

donald trump doesn't like people. what he does is sees them as useful or not useful and he sees them asmir rohring him and supporting him or opposing him and diminishing him and there's certainly no question that right now he sees tillerson as someone who is an injury to his sense of himself. >> henry freedman, associate professor of. he says paranoid, hyper sensitive, grandiose ill-informed leader such as donald trump, who has surrounded himself with a cabinet and set of advisers who are able to bring him out of his paranoid suspicions and insis ten sis or, worse, identify with his positions, represents a multi-dimensional threat to our country and the world. when a psychiatrist sees us that way, that's the definition of the duty to warn. >> exactly. the goldwater rule itself which is the ethical guideline not to diagnose a public figure in the open falls under the ethical principle that we participate in activities that promote public health and public mental health and so when silence contributes to harm to the pub

heather: do not discount donald trump's base. appreciate it. the time for you is 15 minutes until the top of the hour, donald trump's historic tax plan closer to becoming reality. with the president revealed about where he stands in an exclusive interview up next. come on in. amazon making deliveries. is that convenient? ♪ it's not just a donation. it's a warm blanket. it's a bottle of clean water. it's a roof and a bed. it's knowing someone cares. it's feeling safe. it's a today that's better than yesterday. every dollar you can spare helps so much more than you can imagine. please donate now to help people affected by hurricane harvey. your help is urgently needed. >> historic tax plan on the verge of the victory. the house expected to vote on the budget resolution. if passed the senate to pass the plan without the help of any democrats. donald trump is confident they will pass the budget as is. >> i think senators will come together. the house is looking really good. that will happen hopefully today. no changes. pass alone, we have to get

donald trump was on the very first list. at that time he was with his father and he's been on it for most of the years since. of people have come and gone, overall there have been about 1,600 people on the list. of those, no one has cared about where he ranks than the current president of the united states. >> i think you'll be getting a phone call perhaps or a tweet. dan, thanks very much. joining us also the michael deantonio. michael, is he sitting in the white house reading this somewhere or seeing this and upset? >> absolutely. he's not the only billionaire who does this. i happened to be in the home of one of trump's neighbors in palm beach when the list came out and he was eager to see where he stood. there are many of the members of mar-a-lago who have now jumped ahead of time the president, and that's going to irritate him immensely. where donald trump has in the past been able to gain the system, he comes out on top. you were discussing john mccain recently. mccain actually won elections. he's won most of the thing

. >> but you're also comparing the donald trump that was promised on the campaign trial with the donald trump presidency that has materialized, which are two very different things. when you look at the numbers, for example, jeff flake is not alone. many republicans have voted 91% of the time with donald trump because, as much as he has been out there with a bombast in the rhetoric, he does not know enough about policy to have steered us in a meaningfully populist direction when it comes to policy. we've seen obamacare repeal and replace. we're now seeing a traditional form of republican tax cuts. all of the things he promised like infrastructure, meani meaningfully changing our trade policies have gone by the waughside. some of these ardent national populists are starting to become disaffected. all of the things that fed that feeling of displacement are the things that are now being pursued by this administration. wage stagnation. >> tax cuts. >> i'm an isolationist. let's have a military build-up and poke kim jong-un and possibly get involved in another war. i'm going to protect your s

why would fusion gps also at the same time work to discredit donald trump if donald trump was the inside guy for the election? that is the conflict of interest and what we have learned here that in my opinion puts a huge hole in his theory that russia and trump are in this together. jillian: molly hemingway sums it up for a lot of people. she says this is a stunning turn of eventss. >> a profoundly vindicating day. turns out the clinton campaign was doing what it accuse the trump campaign was doing, willingly or unwillingly working with russia to undermine the 2016 election and affect the 2016 election. a stunning turn of eventss. we will learn how serious people were about the need to hold people accountable for collusion with russia. >> we have hillary clinton in a tough position yet again. how much legal trouble could she be in? according to our legal analysts, 13 potential crimes at this point. do we have greg jarrett? i guess we don't have that soundbite but a number of them are felony crimes but there is a lot here. if you tie in the potential of a crime regarding uranium one and t

, lets do a real estate deal and then get president donald trump elected president. then there was a meeting with donald trump junior, paul manafort and juror curb curb, then carter page travels over to russia. you have a number of contacts and now it's all starting to come into focus and make more sense. >> you mentioned the context but as of yet there is no evidence of an actual meeting. i will bring up what president donald trump says, he said that there is proof, that being the dossier funded by the democratic national committee, that had russian sourced information and money was exchanged for the information, this after democrats are claiming to have nothing to do with that. are you looking the other way for that. >> it's important to look at the dossier but more important is what is alleged in it. it's collusion or cooperation, two people meeting in a foreign land to help a campaign, that's a working relationship. i think we have to focus on whether or not we have a national security concern in the united states where a presidential campaign's team was working

donald trump was on the very first list. at that time he was with his father and he's been on it for most of the years since. people have come and gone. overall there have been about 1,600 people on the list. of those 1,600, no one has cared more about where he ranks and what he's currently worth than the president of the united states. >> i think you'll be getting a phone call perhaps or a tweet. that's a given. dan, thanks very much. i want to bring in our panel. joining us is michael dantonio. michael, is he sitting in the white house reading this somewhere or seeing this on tv and upset? >> he is absolutely. he's not the only billionaire who does this. i happened to be in the home of one of trump's neighbors in palm beach when the list came out and he was eager to see where he stood. there are many of the members of mar-a-lago who have now jumped ahead of the president. and that's going to irritate him immensely. the trouble here is there is actually a referee. where donald trump has in the past been able to gain the sys

>> well, we're not sure what the trump agenda is outside of what donald trump wants for himself. he's governing by the politics of perception because he -- that's why he tweets things out that aren't true and repeats them over and over again. perception is reality, and you keep repeating things, people believe them and he knows that the base judges him specifically not necessarily what else is going on. all he cares about is how he looks. just look at the tweets he sent out today. minus the ones going, the petulant by the senators. he tweeted how wonderful the senate lunch was today because he received many standing ovations. you cannot govern with success for the entire american -- for the united states of america when you're just worried about yourself. >> but he didn't tweet about flake, he tweeted about corker. are you surprised that he -- >> no, i think we'll see that eventually. >> all right. you said that was number one, what was number two? >> number two is you have to remember that for, for members of congress, they are single seekers of reelection. that's what -- politi

. >> if donald trump really wanted -- like, if donald trump's top priority wasn't the culture war, but if his top priority was actually passing legislation, then why -- then would he go after three sitting republican u.s. senators and attack them on twitter, if his primary goal was to say past tax reform, that doesn't make sense. >> right, when you've got the keys to the kingdom, there's a way to get it through, is to -- >> exactly. the voters are given republicans everything that they need. the white house, the senate, the house. heck, you even look at the local levels, 34, 35 republican governors and 69 or 70 of them are state legislators. >> but does donald trump care about it, though? because donald trump was the one who did not help when it came to health care. he said, yay, you guys in the house passed a health care bill, but i'll hold a rally for you at the white house. and shortly after that, he called it mean. they can't trust that hays going to be with them. >> go ahead. >> i think, also, at the end of the day, excuse me, ned. i think at the end of the day, these people are b
