trump: she's gone. when it was found that i had more indian blood in me than she did, then it was determined that i had none, but i still had more. that was the end of her 32 years scam on colleges. can you imagine any of those people doing what i am doing? there would be 200 people to show up, if they were president. if they were not president, nobody would show up. is that right? >> [cheers] pres. trump: i have to say, i was saying on the way over -- tell me about bad weather. we may have to cancel. are you crazy? can you imagine? i learned this morning they thought you were going to have a big snowstorm, a big, big snowstorm. the people that get it wrong the most are the weather forecasters and the political analysts. >> [cheers] [applause] pres. trump: they said this is a big, big storm. it is going to be hitting green bay. we may have to cancel. i said, like hell we are going to cancel. people were standing out 24 hours ago, 32 hours ago, outside. who stood out there for 24 hours? >> [cheers] pres.

donald trump's ultimate loyalty is only to donald trump. it is not to his oath of office or the country. we've been documenting all of the things he is doing that hurt the forgotten man that he promised to be the champion of and who he is actively, aggressively working a against n his administration. cover-up l lie, deny, unless you knonow you did something wrong. amy: glenn, do you think president trump should be impeached over obstruction of justice? you have dom again quitting rather than firing, and president trump fired james comey. do you think, despite you have always said that this is not about collusion? >> no, i don't. the reason is because i think the question was whether he was acting as a president in his right to stop an investigation that he knew was based on false allegations or whether he was tried to cover up his own wrongdoing. once mueller concluded there is no evidence to establish the wrongdoing, i don't think yet a corrupt motive. i think his motive was this investigation is garbage and i'm very open about the fact i

donald trump. >> i noticed donald trump come to the building. him and her were very friendly. she had an argument with the coworker. who says i will call mr. trump when you have an argument with somebody? and apparently, she did. >> he says after he made repeated complaints to superior's about the housekeeper's treatment of other staff, he was asked to resign from his job. but after he left, he says he could no longer find work as a doorman. >> weeks, months. turns out almost a year i couldn't find a job. >> fearing he had been blacklisted, he contacted a reporter at the nation"national enquire enquirer", thinking the tabloid might be interested in buying his story about trump east alleged affair. >> he says, you get to like $30,000 and you will be referred to as an ex-trump employee. >> as a precondition of payment, ami asked him to sign over the rights to his story in perpetuity. the contract also stipulated that he would be subject to a million dollar lawsuit if he spoke about the rumor. >> i get phone calls on a regular basis that i could ne

trump: very soon. one of the things in the new deal is that it is very difficult financially for a company to leave the united states, fire all of its employees, move to mexico or canada. open up a new plant, make a product, sell it in for no tax. we end up with unemployment and nothing but loss and empty factories. it is not happening anymore, folks. not happening anymore.

and that infamous 2016 trump tower meeting between donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer. >> whether these contacts were sufficiently illicit or not to rise to the level of a criminal conspiracy, they are unquestionably dishonest, unethical, immoral, and unpatriotic. >> reporter: those contacts continued after the election, including incoming national security adviser's call to sergey kislyak about sanctions imposed by president obama. to the fallout of the report continues today, with not only democrats, but also now republican senator mitt romney releasing this statement today after reading through the report, saying, "i am also appalled that among other things, fellow citizens working in the campaign for president welcomed help from russia, including information that had been illegally obtained, that none of them acted to inform american law enforcement. reading the report is a sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founders." now, i've been speaking to white house officials who, of course, jake, g

the donald trump tax reform, donald trump and republicans were dishonest about this. they said that democrats they tried to get democrats involved and couldn't get them solved. that was not true. they designed this process to go around democrats and on the paul ryan point, i want to add one thing. we get into a paul of ryan in this book. i think a lot of people close to him would say his take away was he trashed donald trump throughout the entire 2016 campaign. he didn't endorse him. he was very fervently against trump. we have a chapter called "not a trump guy" about paul ryan. but then donald trump won and paul ryan felt like he had two choices. there was a fork in the road. he could either concede he lost the argument and stay in government and what he thought was keep the government on the rails. he said he didn't want to the just never trump and take his toys home or he could leave. he chose to stay in government. >> but ended up driving the republicans into a defeat in the house of representativeses. we could go on and on about this. thank you very much, jake sh

we were doing trump tower. so it was from '80 to '84 we were building trump tower. at that time there were about ten people in the organization. that's it. >> he doesn't own a backhoe, a truck or a crane, t a licensing building put my name on your building for "x." >> when i was working for him he owned the building. so no, he didn't do any work. we contracted it out. >> when you hear that he is fighting a congressional subpoena with a counter lawsuit because it's about the release of his financials, does that make sense to you? >> sure. every time he had any problem at all he'd sue immediately and if there was a dispute h liked to be the plaintiff. i'll sue first. he thought that was an advantage. here he was going to be the plaintiff, but the idea was to delay. i think that's what's behind this. maybe avoid getting those financial records out before, you know, the next election comes up. >> what's it like for you? it's been two years plus to watch. i have friends from high school, can't believe i get paid for doing anything. i mean, for you to watch this guy who w

. >> donald trump can't win but the donald trump can sure as hell lose it. they are the party that seeks their own political death and they'll find a way, this impeachment question is one where you have two options. you can try to do an impeachment thing that'll go nowhere in the senate. there is no scenario than any human being says right now that donald trump will be convicted. >> mitch mcconnell. >> you won't get 50%. >> mitchell dragged mansions and others back. there is no scenario where he's removed by impeachment. what does it do? it rubs up donald trump's space and raises him $200 million, we'll get an e-mail saying send me five bucks for donald trump being thrown out of office. it won't haves political impact. donald trump has no moral center, and no shame. you can't shame the shameless. what does work is to run investigations into all these things that are legitimate investigations of the actions of the campaign of donald trump himself and the things that have gone arnds him and all these people, the things that mueller could not touch and things h

not just trump tower moscow. trump has decades of links with organized crime and very murky sources of funding that raise questions about whether anyone has a tether on him. that hasn't fully been answered. mueller chose not to dig into that. we have several committees in congress looking at this issue, the new york attorney general and southern district of new york. i think what unites this shouldn't be a partisan or ideological issue. it's about good government. it's about transparency at the co-leadership and good public policymaking not corrupted by greed or self-interest. >> you've been sued by trump. i imagine you're not surprised that he took this route as a sitting president of roping his kids in, surprise surprise, and suing the banks so they can't comply. >> also ironically one of the plaintiffs in this case is the trust he set up to ostensibly keep him from conflicts of interest. that entity is suing about disclosures. trump has been doing this since 1973. roy cone taught him how to weapon size the leg

she helped president trump. we see "the new york timeses" .esterday they had an editorial it implies kristjen nielsen said no. i disagree with that characterization. wayink she helped pave the for a lot of these policies that are continuing. wewe see her replacement was to cacarry out what he calls binary likes -- choice, sort of sophie's choice. these parents travel to bring their children to safety in america are told you have a choice. you can agree to let us take your child w while we detain you while you seek asylum or you can detained the child with you. wewe have heard ababout the hore conditions and these facilities. that is kind of what she opened the gates for host of amy: what about the people who say no? >> i'm glad you brought that up. people say no and the courts and at the local level. in the courts we saw two huge victories. kristjen nielsen was to work with trump's son-in-law and close advisor jared kushner i'm getting mexico to agree to hold people while they were seeking asylum instead of lett

trump. anna: it is pretty stunning when you think about it that right before the election, he is not going to let his members say do what you need to do to win, but he considered making a public announcement that he was not with the president. he was so offended by the hollywood tape and what was happening and mitch mcconnell said don't do that. it felt like that would have been the end of the republican party and it felt like they needed to be with this president because he was going to be the party nominee. host: talk about the relationship between mitch mcconnell and this president. how often do they talk. they spoke a lot and mitch mcconnell went up to trump tower days after the election. early decembers 2016, and convinced the president and discussed with him, his plan for that tradition -- judiciary, how mcconnell was going to work with the white house counsel to control all nominees to the supreme court, lower district courts, federal courts. he wanted to remake the judiciary and mitc

presidency, he said no because trump is still trump. give him a week he'll be under investigation again. >> and he's made the same mistakes over and over again. we've seen it in both parties. a politician in the flush of exoneration overreaches, overplays their hand. trump is like all politicians in some ways on steroids because t the ego is greater, so the fact he overplayed his hands on these other issues, no reason to dive into health care, the border wall. yet he decides to do it. i think in the context -- i know we'll talk about this more -- you think about the gamble made to some extent by the attorney general and some of the trump allies, if you could cement the perceptions of the mueller report having been good for him at the beginning that that would last is a foolish misreading of the news environment we live in. the first impressions aren't what matter. the last impressions are what matter. we're far from the last impressions on the mueller report. >> this wasn't our plan, but it's a perfect detour. this is precisely the prob

but trump, yes. if trump wins, he'll do great damage. but if he loses the election, he is going to call upon his supporters for violence. there's not going to be a civil war, that's idiocy. but you will see isolated violence on the part of crackpot supporters. he will be clinging to the doors of the white house giving orders to everybody on all sides that the honest people will not obey, career employees will not obey and military will not obey. anderson, let's check back in and i'm telling you, it's not funny. it's going to be very, very ugly whatever happens. but trump needs to go for the good of this country. >> and the silence of republicans on capitol hill is extraordinary. the republican party that i knew growing up, you know, the party of reagan, i mean that's just -- it's just a dim memory. >> yeah. in national level elections as an adult, i've voted for republicans probably two times out of three. they don't exist anymore. that party is gone. these people are so incredibly craven. and this was the party of patriots. they were go

he had trump's position. w re gonna get to the policies of immigration, but let me just ask this question, because in the book, you wre... so, a lot to unpack there. but the president was using some language -- >> oh, there's a lot on the ra cultures of other societies. and i'm not saying there's something genetic here, but these are cultures that are tremely misogynistic, honor-based, that do not respect women or children. we can assimilate anyone to our culture -- anyone at all -- but when you bring in such hugeer nuat once, you can't assimilate them. they bring their cultures with them. >> i want to finish the chronology of your hisith trump. you go on to support him through the campaign. you introduchim at rallies. he says lovely things about you at rallies. le.s look at this little cl >> i love the idea of the great wall of trump. [ cheers and applause ] and maybe mitch mcconnell and john bhner had to betray us once again to pave the way for president donald trump. >> ann coulter, who e an excellent book

donald trump and to trump's critics. lesson one, you can with win reelection while not changing your off putting style. you can be narcissistic and bullying and the works. if oppose the person, you can sure as heck lose to them no matter what you think of them personally and no matter how bad their image is in the world. whatever else you can say about him, this person you see is a villain is seen by other people as the lone tower of strength. the one politician is willing to take the heat by defending the country the borders and sovereignty. if you are seen as the man willing to defend the country and you are a candidate and party are not, don't be surprised at your country's contract. he was seen as strong on the issue of defending his country. the borders and the sovereignty. by refusing to promote a strong alternative for border protection, they allowed trump to position himself so far as the lone protector of the country's sovereignty and brand his enemies for being for open borders. as jerry brown sized it up, he m

it may not have been with trump. trump is who he's always been. but the people around him, the people that some of us still are hoping would hold up these institutions, right, at the end of the day, it's not about trump. it's do the institutions hold. i see them enabling him, right? barr saying i'm not giving the unredacted report to congress. no, i'm not going on court to get the -- you want to do that, you go ahead. just not even giving a good reason. the secretary 069 treasuof the saying, nope, not giving up the tax returns even though the law is clear. you do have some people, i don't want to hold up nielsen as a bastion of lawfulness, but on the other hand, it seems like she at least said we can't close the border and boom, she's gone. then you have trump pushing the boundaries. he essentially offered a pardon as a bribe to get a public official to break the law. you can say he was joking, but you don't even joke about that. that is beyond lawless and it's an impeachable offense if he was serious. i'm not going to say that's remotely going to

circling trump. a new report says new york prosecutors have moved in on president trump's inner circle interviewing some of his closest former aides and gathering more evidence in the hush money case than anyone previously knew. i won't do it. the president defies demands by democratic lawmakers and vows he won't hand over his tax returns as the deadline set by the head of the house ways and means committee arrives. >>> star pressure. federal prosecutors up the stakes for one of the celebrities in the college admissions scandal in an effort to get her to plead guilty. we want to welcome viewers in the united states and around the world. i am wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> breaking news tonight. outrage among congressional democrats after a bombshell statement from the

president trump put a trump plaque, president trump plaque on that new piece of construction authorized by the obama administration and claimed to his voters that that's my wall. that thing right there that you can see through. >> yoi don't know. it looks like a fence to me, not really a concrete wall, 30 foot high wall. i don't know, my eyes tell me it's a fence, not a wall, but i think is absolutely right. donald trump is a one trick pony. whether it's, you know, 2016, 2018, or 2020 he is going to use like xenophobic appeals, anti-immigrant appeals, calling them animals. that is his -- that's his strength. he's not president of the united states. he is president of his base. now, the good news is that that is not a majority of the country. a majority of the country thinks that what trump is doing is actually morally indefensible and wrong, but he is counting on exciting his base, getting them enthusiastic, riling them up. i do think it's because they're attacking some other group. it's always a politics of subtracti subtraction, never addition for him. i think the bottom line of this

the trump campaign, the trump presidency is claiming victory, mr trump's lawyer said this is victory, the democrats say there are still more questions that need to be answered. but this is what the attorney general, william barr, said as the report was being really. after nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, hundreds of warrants and witness interviews, the special counsel confirmed that the russian government's sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election but did not find that the trump campaign or other americans colluded in those efforts. less clear is whether president trump attempted to obstruct the investigation. this is what william barr had to say about that. the special counsel 's report goes on to consider whether certain actions of the president could amount to obstruction of the special counsel's investigation. as i addressed in my march 24 letter the special counsel did not make a traditional prosecutorialjudgment in this allegation. the report accou nts in this allegation. the report accounts ten episodes involving the

trump elected. what we clearly have is those two sides are working to mutual benefit. the russians absolutely wanted trump to be the victorious candidate in the election, and certainly the campaign had the same desire. but what director mueller has told us is, that's not enough, simply the fact that both sides acted to benefit each other is not enough. you have to show in the words of criminal prosecution for conspiracy an agreement between the two, and that was the last piece of evidence, it's the final kind of keystone in the bridge, if you will, that the team didn't seem to feel confident that they had. >> it seemed like the closest they got to finding something that could be criminally charged in that whole section about the links between russia and the trump campaign, oddly enough, campaign finance, was the possibility of charging campaign finance violations from accepting a foreign entity for the purpose of influencing the election. there were two reasons they didn't get there, they couldn't p

>> collusion in the mind of many trump critics means if vladimir putin wanted trump to be president, then they colluded and it's clear there was support coming from the russian government for the idea of a trump presidency and there of course was all the propaganda stuff that came out of the twitter accounts and that sort of thing to disrupt the u.s. politics. you can't do anything about other countries having preferences in our elections or engaging in prop began take proa activities. a lot of people want to call trump a traitor on those grounds. paul: is there anything left, dan, the connection that homan describes russia wanted and what happened here in the united states with americans? >> no, there is nothing left of it. they went over in minute detail. i'm not going to go through here's the table of consistent tense. >>> you go through all these things, trump tower, george papadopoulos, june 2016 meeting in the trump tower, extraordinary detail. at the end of each one they say there was no there, there. no conspiracy, no cooperation. russians were attempting to penetrate there.

so trump is freaking out. he's worried he won't win re-election if this trend continues and so he is purging the department of homeland security but he's also urging people at dhs to do things that illegal and part of the reason he soured on secretary kirstjen nielsen, although she was doing thing i think unconscionable like separating families and she wasn't willing to go far enough to deny the poor central americans to deny the ability to seek asylum and which is their right and trump wants them to do that. our jake tapper quoted him meeting with border agents in southern california telling them ignore what judges say, if people show up asking for asylum tell them we're full. that is a violation of the law. and apparently the supervisors had to tell agents, don't listen to the commander-in-chief -- >> once the president left the room, and they are looking around the room -- >> that is striking. i don't think we need a big enough deal of that. that is a big deal. if that is accurate and the president is telli

interact with donald trump, which will tell you whether the other party and trump reported a transaction the same way. >> david coren, chairman neal in his letter was careful to frame this in a way that vacuums out of the irs basically every document in the last six years that has anything to do with donald trump or these businesses. >> and i like to start with something very simple, and i think his letter does address this. donald trump, as you pointed out in the video clip at the beginning, said he would release his taxes if he ran for president. of course he didn't. his reason, his excuse, he's under audit. i don't think that really makes a difference, because the tax returns are filed, the irs has them. why would that be a reason not to? but we don't know. trump has made it a steadfast point to refuse to release even information indicating he was under audit. and he doesn't say what years are under audit. his returns from 10 years ago, eight years ago, seven years ago, five years ago. we don't know, so i think it would be very interesting just to see to what degree that excuse has an

donald trump controls it. donald trump controls the law. william barr is the attorney general of the united states and the republican party decides whether he is removed from power. and the supreme court has five conservatives on it. why should we trust the law? >> i'm a cynic, but the constitution withstood 230 years through depressions. i have to believe that the foundations will withstand this president. we are in uncharted territory right now. >> why should we believe that the republicans at some point are going to wake up and decide they want to uphold the constitution rather than doing what they have been doing since 2016. dutifully support donald trump in whatever he does. >> there are a lot of reasons to doubt that they will. most of them. there would be a few who might feel a twinge of conscious about trampling over the constitution with donald trump, but it's hard to say. >> what if they don't? >> that's what we have elections for. by the way, that's what people go into the streets about eventually. if everything else fails. hopef

most republicans in this country they support donald trump. they want to see donald trump succeed. they want to see donald trump re-elected. you're always going to have nay sayers. in this case the vast majority of folks on the republican side of the equation still support donald trump and end many conservative leaning independents do too. >> when we look at the totality of this poll, americans don't want to see impeachment proceedings. how does that add up? >> that deals with the fact they rather see democratic representatives and democratic, you know, congressional leaders putting more energy and resources into the actual policy issues that they care about. also interesting that a lot of americans while they don't support, you know, formally launching impeachment proceedings they do support congressional oversight of the executive branch which means, you know, congressional investigations, looking into the president's tax returns, looking into his financial history. so i think that's, that's a fight the democrats can afford to have and it seems that's why leaders like nancy pelos

trump. it becomes a test for donald trump's commissioner of the irs who has no legal basis whatsoever for not turning over those tax returns by wednesday of next week as chairman neal has demanded. and so all of the donald trump appoint appointees involved, secretary mnuchin, brend mcintosh, william barr, irs commissioner charles reddick might be staring at donald trump's lawyer's letter right now trying to see if there is any legal hook they can hold on to as an excuse for not complying with very of office v and recognize that the president's lawyer's letter is a legal joke to be dismissed as soon as they read it. maybe. the lawyer's letter says requests for tax returns and return information must have a legitimate legislative purpose. chairman neal's letter says consistent with its authority the committee is considering legislative proposals and conducting oversight related to tax laws the extent to which the irs audits and enforces the federal tax laws against a president. it is necessary

trump: she's gone. when it was found that i had more indian blood in me then she did, then it was determined that i had not, but i still had more. that was the end of her 32 years scam on colleges. can you imagine any of those people doing what i am doing? there would be 200 people to show up, if they were president. if they were not, nobody would show up. is that right? [cheers] pres. trump: i have to say, i was saying on the way over -- tell me about the weather. we may have to cancel. are you crazy? can you imagine? i learned this morning they thought you were going to have a big storm, a big, big snowstorm. the people that get it wrong the most are the weather forecasters and the political analyst. [cheers] pres. trump: they said this is a big, big storm. it is going to be hitting green bay. we may have to cancel. i said, like how we are going to cancel -- like hell we are going to cancel. people were standing out 24 hours ago, 32 hours ago, outside. who stood out there for 24 hours? [cheers] pres.

for, quote, all hands on deck to defeat donald trump. should democrats be worried? $30 million is quite a haul for the president. >> on top of $130 million last year. and usually presidents don't raise money in the midterms when their party is trying to defend, in this case, the house majority. this president did anyway. it didn't help his -- it helped, i think, lose the house for his party, so he's got a colossal, monumental fund-raising advantage. and democrats have got to be very serious about it. i think it's going to cost $50 million this year for the democratic nomination. i want to see who can raise $50 until 2019. >> to get the nomination. >> they have to raise it in 2019. we get to new year's eve and i want to see someone with $50 million raised in my party. and nobody is close yet. >> do you look at the campaign finance numbers when you're judging which one of these democrats you think is most viable? >> i think you have to look at some numbers underneath the top line turnumbers, including burn rates, how much they are spending

just like donald trump. donald trump's grandfather was born in germany. what does it mean when you confuse where your father was born with where your grandfather was born? my father was born in boston. my grandfather was born in ireland and i have never once confused that, but then i'm not 72 years old, i don't have alzheimer's in my family history and i'm not the president of the united states trying to convince nato that i'm not just being mean when i ask nato countries to spend more money on their military. that's what donald trump was actually talking about today when he said that his father was born in germany. he repeatedly said that the united states spends much more on defense than we actually do, and that is the kind of trump falsehood that we probably wouldn't even mention tonight, but in any other presidency that would actually be the hot news of the day. the president doesn't even know how much money we spend on defense. that would be big news. in any other presidency. watching the president today, you had a right to wonder whether the preside

i don't believe trump's memory is that bad. the only way i would believe it if all 37 questions were when is your anniversary, then maybe. ( laughter ) it's also funny trump can't remember what happened a year ago, but when christine blasey ford couldn't remember every detail from 30 years ago he judged her like this. >> how did you get home? i don't remember. how did you get there? i don't remember. where is the place? i don't remember. how many years ago was it? i don't know. i don't know. what neighborhood was it in? i don't know. where's the house? i don't know. upstairs, downstairs, where was it? i don't know. but i had one beer, that's the only thing i remember. >> trevor: see? this proves my theory, everything trump says about women is actually true about himself. yeah. he's always making things up, he's overly emotional and, most of all, he's the one with the great boobs. ( laughter ) , so look,ist clear now, it's clear now william barr may have told us that the mueller report was a nothing burger but, in reality, it's

once trump knows he's coming back, trump will have him so preautop preoccupied and in his head. >> trump couldn't stop talking about joe biden today. kristen welker said, what's offensive about biden's behavior? >> i think it's the other way around. trump understands what a lot of republicans understand which is that biden is a general election candidate deprives donald trump of a lot of the swing voters in the rust belt that went for trump and i have most of their cell phones in my phone. a lot of the voters in eerie, pennsylvania, in bay city, michigan, in wisconsin n florida who flipped who were two time obama voters who flipped and voted for trump. a lot of voters are very much available to someone like joe biden. >> democrats are looking for a couple of things. they want somebody who is steeped in policy, who can appeal to the base, who can appeal to working families all across the country but also they want somebody who's going to be willing to take a punch and throw a punch when it comes to donald trump. i mean, you could see that at the national action network conference which i

day 826 of this trump administration. the president remains knee-deep in his campaign to strike back against the findings of the mueller report, and to shake off the democrats' efforts to investigate his white house. here briefly is some of what he told sean hannity tonight on fox news. >> there was like a one-sided witch hunt as i called it. bob mueller, i turned him down to run the fbi. the next day he was appointed to be the head of this special counsel. $35 million spent and unlimited manpower, woman power and there is nothing, nothing, and it was a very bad two years for this country but the nice part is as far as trump is concerned and the trump administration, there is no collusion and there is no obstruction. >> in the weeks since mueller's findings were released and just been a week today. the president has maintained his campaign to reframe the damaging revelations about his behavior. this is just some of what he has written to us over the past seven days. and today, sent this out about his former white house co

organization, trump foundation, anything to do with the trump inaugural committee. there's a lot of continuing investigations. that doesn't mean people like donald trump jr., jared kushner, his security clearances, things like that yet, they're not out of the crosshairs. >> katie phang, good morning to you. hope you have a good easter in miami. >>> why tomorrow could be a pivotal day in congress on whether to proceed with impeachment proceedings. ceed wi impeachment proceedings. ♪ every day, visionaries are creating the future. ♪ so, every day, we put our latest technology and unrivaled network to work. ♪ the united states postal service makes more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. ♪ because the future only happens with people who really know how to deliver it. because toh!futuroh!nly hoh!ens with people ♪ ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven

that's where trump wants them. >> right. >> trump wants everybody bunched on the hard-left. you know that. >> this is what's scaring me about what's happening in the democratic primary right now. the president trades -- >> you said you want them to fight it out. >> i want a strong candidate to emerge to make sure my choice isn't between donald trump and bernie sanders. the american people's choice isn't between donald trump and bernie sanders because donald trump trades between 43 and 46% approval. he needs a hard-left democratic candidate so he can rail about open borders and socialism -- >> yeah, i know. >> and be right. >> well, he's got -- open borders, socialism and late-term abortion. i know the whole three he's figured out for pennsylvania. tonight, a field of democratic presidential candidates grows as we sit here. california congressman eric swalwell, a great friend of this show, told steve colbert tonight, it will be on at 11:0 that the country is in quick sand plagued by inaction and that's why he is running for president. here is eric swalwell. >> and none of tha

for trump to be successful in 2020 he needs to continue being the change agent president trump can point to him and say you are part of the problem. while there are head to head matchups, i think once they get together i think president trump will be able to take it to him. as you talk about the interpersonal dynamics between the two, i think president trump can make some jokes about biden and with the recent hair sniffing and the weird things. president trump's the one type of candidate who can really make that a humorous point on the campaign trail. i think overall if biden is the status quo in the way things were and trump is the change agent, that's good for the president. >> one hypothetical matchup, between the two this morning in a national poll has the former vice president with an eight-point lead right now. >> it's early. that's why i said going into the college national championship game everyone thought alabama was going to steam roll past clemson. we saw a different result there. we thought secretary clinton would defeat now president trump and that didn't happen. until you

or the trump campaign. rob: welcome back to a fox news alert, the released mueller report vindicating the president on collusion. jillian: is it now time to investigate the investigators? rob: tom fitton joins us now. let's start with what we learned yesterday. interesting to hear the president feel vindicated and at the same time a lot of members of the media and a lot of democrats saying we see evidence of obstruction in this and something we see collusion as well. >> it was an exoneration of the president, there was no collusion and the attorney general concluded there was no obstruction. if there was obstruction case it could have been pursued, mister mueller would have been explicit about it. instead, this is where the media is grasping and opponent of the president are grasping, mueller put in hundreds of pages of innuendo suggesting there was obstruction. that was not appropriate. another abuse by mister mueller but at the end no case made against the president and i don't even think an impeachment c

so you know donald trump. you've worked with donald trump. his approach right now seems to be let's talk about impeachment. that's a conversation he's happy to have for all the reasons you just stated. would you advise him if you were talking to him to take the win that was in the mueller report in volume one which said they could not establish a conspiracy between the campaign and just start talk about something else. or is he smart politically to encourage impeachment talk? >> i think trump is doing what he does very well which is love him or hate him he's great in sucking the media into his narrative. right now the perfect narrative for trump sim paechlt, impeachment. makes him look like a victim, like he's being atakds by the system, by the establishment. donald trump far better i say for the democrats to find somebody, believe in them whether it's mayor pete, bernie sanders, get behind a candidate you think can beat him. if you're not happy with president trump's presidency let's get happy about the vision we have for america and let's m
