donald trump: john, go ahead. >> [indiscernible] donald trump: i think we're there now, john. i'll be honest. you look at the statement put out by alaska, by -- right, you saw that? by lisa, you look at the other couple of statements. we're only -- we're only one off, maybe two. but we can't vote now, john, you probably didn't hear me because as you know one of our yes votes is in the hospital. i can't make -- i can't wait. i can't take him out of the hospital. >> do you have confidence in senator mcconnell? donald trump: i do have confidence. yes. i do have confidence. >> even though he -- donald trump: it's not up to me, it's up to the senate. but i do have confidence, and i will say they used him in the race. and i was very honored by the way i was treated in the race, but they used him in the race. john they used him in the race. , and, you know. >> does your plan help the wealthy too much? my plan is for the working people, and my plan is for jobs. >> you wouldn't benefit under your tax plan? i don't benefit. i don't benefit. donald trump: -- i don't benefit. i don't bene

and donald trump. every time that paul ride objects he says i would not have said it that way. to the objection is that he does not split being swelled enough to say he is the nominee of the party i will back p.m. . said he expanded the definition so understand that the core of making trump's presidency successful without a doubt is mitch mcconnell. he is very ungracious admittedly he did admit -- platt bacall's wife and attitudes rotation now he is kind of picking on him know the rules had been sanders the way he did know i am ashamed of the united states senate genuinely because i will give you one? thing. days before the stock through it was named to the epa put in charge of the government a judgeship in the oklahoma ordered the release of documents by public-interest groups every field in his interactions to the fossil fuel companies as head of a the epa. this is incredibly in for blood negative important information other senators went to the floor of the west and it and said just wait and tell th

actually lecture to donald trump as if donald trump was a child. on the pregame show on fox. i don't think donald trump understands the freedoms we have in this country. it was a remarkable show of solidarity. by the nfl community. and i will tell you something else that i don't think donald trump understood. is when you are talking about the dissenting players in the national football league, i am thinking of people like malcolm jenkins who raises his fist during the anthem or michael bennett who sits during the anthem. these players, are some of the most respected players. in the national football league. by coaches, by assistant coaches. by executives. because the they're frankly, some of the smartest players in the national league. they're in the locker room. not only understanding and dissecting plays, as if they have a ph.d. in football, but they're also, speaking abouter use in the real world. meeting with people on capitol hill. and earning the respect of their team mates. so, when donald trump says, malcolm jenkins should be fired. that send a shiver up the entire ph

donald trump is donald trump's problem on this. and now donald trump and mitch mcconnell are both each other's problem. a problem that they both so well deserve. and their dysfunctional relationship is the very best thing that could possibly happen to the senate democrats' resistance to the trump agenda. joining us now is democratic senator maria cantwell from washington tonight. she is a member of the senate finance committee. senator cantwell, you saw something in that committee hearing room yesterday that that committee has never seen before. i think you might have had one or two arrests of individual voice of protest here and there in the last few years. but tell us what it was like to be in that room with that resistance rising against that bill and the -- watching the arrests that followed. >> well, good evening, lawrence. and it was a moment. i mentioned to my colleague, even though we had been there at the passage of the affordable care act, i wasn't so sure that wasn't the most dramatic moment of the history of this legisl

donald trump didn't make that up. one of the reasons we wanted to talk to you, you wrote a piece in response to the joel osteen kerfuffle in which he did not open the astro dome. 16,000 people it can fit. until he was dragged on social media and in the media for not opening his church. wrote the cheap prosperity gospel of trump and osteen. their brands are rooted in success, not scripture. hurricanes and floods do not providing winning narrative crucial to keep adherence chained to prosperity gospel thinking. that's why it is easy for both men to issue platitudes instead of empathy. they lack compassion for people that are not prosperous because they didn't follow the rules. why link donald trump to prosperity goes well with osteen? >> it is important to say what that is so listeners understand. it is a belief rooted in capitalism that uses scriptures to say you can become rich if you follow god's word basically. the reason you add donald trump to prosperity gospel, most of those people are prosperity gospel people. p

or donald trump jr. or the president himself is an 18-year career justice department professional who began his service under president clinton, served eight years in the bush administration justice department, another eight years in the obama administration justice department. we can only wonder who president trump would have put in that job if the president or anyone working for him had any idea how important that job is, and i mean how important that job is to president trump. and so the acting assistant attorney general of the tax division is not a trump man. and in the end, it could turn out that filling that job was actually a lot more important to donald trump personally than filling that supreme court vacancy. nbc news has new details about the contemporaneous notes that former trump campaign chairman paul manafort took during the now infamous june 2016 meeting that donald trump jr. arranged with russian nationals on the promise that he would receive, quote, dirt on hillary clinton. paul manafort

donald trump is a marketer. he's selling things to one particular group of people and that's the only people that he cares about. >> and, tim, this would make perfect sense to me as a trump strategy if you show me the poll of 51% support. if he had 51% support and he was never doing a thing to try to change any minds, i would go, okay. that could work. >> and, and, you know, his base isn't just the post industrial working class white voter. he also pulled in affluent republicans who i think he's starting to shred, starting to lose -- we'll know in the midterms and playing with fire around this. i don't think he's ever actually cared about electoral math. he cares about his ego. >> to your point, joy, how this is perceived, quinnipiac poll, trump's handling of race relations, approve, 32%. disapprove, 62%. and that approve of 32% is worth staring at. that's right around where donald trump's support number is now, 32%, 35%. >> yeah. he got elected, remember, donald trump became president with about that level of s

that is donald trump. in attacking the nfl players. that is donald trump. he is nativist, xenophobic, and that was old -- dog whistles. they stopped him from building projects and he has the typical thing about developers where they could have put it up two years sooner if it were not for the government red tape. , youter charlottesville want on npr and said he does not see his job as president as providing moral leadership to the country. this is very different from every other modern president when faced with a racial episode like this. so can you be president of the united states and be a moral on a carpet -- amoral on a topic like charlottesville? providing moral leadership, so i guess the answer to that question is yes, but that was an amazing moment because the easiest thing for presidents -- it is almost like default on your keyboard what you say after a moment of racial tension. it is in the memory banks. you stand up and say words of inclusion and healing and even if you do not say them eloquently, every other president has said that. there is a st

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 hasn't howard and brought into his administration, 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. he thought this out very carefully and the my little, the department of justice, neil gorsuch on the supreme court, those things might egypt away at. -- might be chipped away at. he likes big government in many ways. he wants big structure programs. and then, that way, he is at odds with his party. the obamacare bill 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. [ laughter] >> mike darda question for all of you. speaking of presidential traditions and norms in the white house, think giving is coming

[laughter] the time, they are more just with each other than with mueller. >> for with you. >> or with us. i think it is way overstated, the hostility toward the press. it was topical early on when spicer was going through his first set of gyrations before we had him cleaning himself up on the emmys. it really was walking into that building, a hostile environment, for the first 3-5 months. it has hunkered down into the .sual warfare the relationship between the front line press people and t

war against donald trump . hello and welcome to crossfire were all things considered i'm peter lavelle in a revealing video c.n.n. has shown as many critics have claimed the network is more interested in the bottom line and a political agenda rather than reporting on real news on this edition of the program we ask of cnn's evidence free war against donald trump is really at the expense of real journalism. cross-linking the present and future of. c.n.n. i'm joined by my guess steve malzberg in new york he is the host of the steve malzberg show on newsmax t.v. also in new york we have the media personality lionel he is a legal analyst and news decoder at lionel media dot com and in washington we cross to richard goodstein he is a democratic political strategist and former advisor to the president clinton and hillary clinton's presidential campaigns all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it steve let me go to you first here. cnn's motto is.

donald trump lost it completely. he was in the oval office with mike pence and other aides about hiring a replacement for jim comey. the vacancy that set the special counsel appointment in motion. the times said he launched in a volley of insults, saying his appointment was one of the worst dirgss trump ever made. also calling him a quote, idiot and saying he should resign. we know in public trump says many things about russia. but this is fascinating and important potentially because it is in private. the "times" account saying trump saw this as basically the worst thing that his presidency and erupted in rare self-criticism about his decision to hire sessions. remember, trump could have asked jeff sessions about potential recusal before hiring. trump didn't do that simple thing because he wasn't prepared for the job interview and he shows little interest in staffing the federal government. this shows the response was to oust the attorney general so he could get a new one that would not be recused and thus give trum

fired. >> donald trump has created a persona. what we're getting now on television as president all the time is the persona, because he's so dramatic, so volatile. he's avilleian of a very large kind to most people in america. but he's the ultimate hero to another group. and so i'm agrade we're living in a time where a persona president that doesn't even know his real self is kind of role playing what a president would be while we're watching a reality tv as our american political theater. >> are you going to be tweeting and whatever you're upset about just put out there when you're president? >> so it's a modern form of communication. i'm going to do very restrained. >> so help me god. >> congratulations, mr. president. >> some hoped that the twitter habit would end after he won. >> and i said oh, this is also lies. joy bay har who was fired for her last show for lack of ratings is even worse on the view. >> but months after the win, it became obvious that the celebrity insults and obsession with ratings would not stop. >> first

donald trump jr.'s statement glossed over many details of the meeting including who was actually in the room. he referred to only seven of the eight people in the room and named only six of them. you can be sure that during the questioning, donald trump jr. was pressed repeatedly on exactly who was in that room and exactly who did what in that room and exactly who said exactly what in that room. it is very likely that the committee staff's questioning provoked more than one version of an answer to various points that were raised today. donald trump jr.'s opening statement says he does not recall any phone conversations with emin agalarov, a russian singer who helped arrange that meeting but was not present at that meeting. but donald trump jr.'s phone records indicate that he had three phone calls with emin agalarov on june 6th and june 7th when the meeting was being arranged. you can be absolutely sure that more than one of the senate committee staff who questioned donald trump jr. today repeatedly qu

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

donald trump says, yes. he says, yeah issue don't like fascists, i don't like nazi us but there are some fine people marching witch. the. at that point something big had to happen so steve bannon stepped out and so did sebastian gorka, but don't think for a second their ideas step out. the reason i profiled them in the book and why i don't mind who comes and goes to some extent is because these are people that donald trump embraced. these are people that he took lessons from and the truth of the matter is, steven miller is still there. if you think that steve bannon and sebastian gorka are scary, i invite you go back and looked ath at videos of steven miller. this this guy has moved on the hard right suns he was young teenager elm write about his journey and it is howeverring hn many ways baas this is someone who has gone way to the fringe on so many issues who is in a position of power. helping to write donald trump's inaugural address. helping to do the muslim ban, giving advice regarding the giorgio are -

a tax gift this is to donald trump himself. donald trump is the first president in history who when unveiling a tax proposal has said, it's not good for me. believe me. and he is also the first president in history to we have reason to believe is pushing a tax cut specifically because it is good for him. it is great for him. no president before donald trump was ever vulnerable to the accusation of trying to cut taxes for his own personal benefit. when we watched president reagan and president clinton and president bush and president obama pushing tax legislation, we'd already looked at their personal income tax returns which they made public. donald trump is never going to voluntarily let us see his tax returns and so whenever he tries that line about this tax cut not being good for him, he will always have to follow it with that catchphrase of his, believe me. but he will never, ever give anyone a reason to believe him about taxes. joining us now, bruce bartlett, a former deputy assistant secretary at the treasury and also wit

this is donald trump. i know the media, not you, the big collective you, why the media is fixated getting donald trump to be presidential. it does not matter. i speak to progressives on my show every night, we will never forgive him for racism, bigotry. in that vacuum, that's a nice moment, this is president 101, going to a place of disaster, showing empathy, had to go back a second time. this is a man to us, there's nothing that's going to change it. i don't know what the media doesn't get the deep feelings of so many americans, why his disapproving numbers are high. there's not one instance that will change it. he will always be the donald trump we saw. i won't forget it. most of us will never forgive him for it. >> there was a thing that happened on the right, you had sebastian gorka, dr. sebastian g gorka with pictures of donald trump with a black child, this thrown out, i got a few tweets on my time line, you liberals never accept when he shows empathy. if you took the pictures and added audio, the th

but donald trump says yes. cryolite fascist or nazis but at that point something big had to change so steve bannon stepped out. so don't think for a second because these are people that donald trump that they took lessons from in the truth of the matter is that miller is still there. if you'd think steve bannon and gorka are scary go back and look at the videos of steve miller he has been a hard right since a young teenager. i write about his journey in the book it is such an example on so many issues ending up in a position of power and giving advice dollars -- donald trump has empowered people doing it without informed consent but has also brought people around him. if you like donald trump i am delighted yours your. so if you don't like donald trump if you choose to resist his must understand this. if all you do is resist donald trump then you are resisting it is like flipping the channel on television. you must understand why they are there and what they are going to do with those positions. you have to exp

donald trump lost his health secretary. he lost the last key obamacare battle before the deadline had changed the law with 51 votes. he lost a gop primary where he personally campaigned. and all those losses piled up while many critics say he has failed on dealing with puerto rico and dealing with the other private jet scandals in his administration. so now i want to ask my panel, are you tired of winning yet? >> you could celebrate if you forget that he's still in the white house and he still has power to continue to hurt us. and don't forget, he lost this week. he is the only one that has united nfl owners who supported him with protesters who are actually getting on their knees. only donald trump could get republican owners of nfl teams to join protesters, saying we need to do something. they're not dealing with the issues of race and police brutality. they've tried to re-create the issue which i'm totally against. at least, they are having to acknowledge righteousness of the right to disent. but he's had a very bad week

trump tweeting in part, quote, donald trump is a white supremacist who has surrounded himself with other white supremacists. she is here to delete the tweets. espn is not making hill apologize but issued a statement saying, quote, the comments on twitter regarding the president do not represent the position of espn. we have addressed this and she recognizes her actions were inappropriate, so again the tweets of not been taken down. the host of media buzz, howard kurtz, do you is comments are a fireable offense? >> i am off-the-wall angry about this, the cohost of espn's flagship program sportscenter not only weighed into politics but racially inflammatory criticism of donald trump is infuriating but equally infuriating is that lame, wimpy response, inappropriate, we have talked to her, no apology from the network, no apology from her, it is not come close to matching the incendiary tone of that criticism. dave: your answer is yes. that would not be putting words in your mouth used with a fireable offense. >> there are can be sanders so. she said that from the white house podium. espn are

he is being donald trump. he is trying to make america great again and he is going to do it regardless of the malaise that is washington, d.c. this is exactly consistent with what he promised to do and he is going to do it? >> he promised that he was going to build a wall and mexico was going to pay for it and that there wouldn't be amnesty. i worked on the issue of immigration for seven years on capitol hill. i can tell you that it is a very complicated issue and it is something that has -- republicans have not been able to do it. democrats have not been able to do it er. here we are and donald trump won on this issue. that was one of the issues that propelled him into the white house was how tough he was going to be on this issue. he said he was going to roll back daca in the first day in office. here he is. those of us who are conservatives that warned against this that warned against donald trump morphing back into a democrat since he was for most of his life, that he was going to do this and he doesn't ca

voting for donald trump. they did it anyway. they thought they would get their tax break for independence. for people like this it's a huge turnoff. obviously for democrats but for independents those people who weren't necessarily aligned to either party this is a big turnoff. they are paying attention. they are seeing this hypocrisy going on. not only doing in this the wake of puerto rico but cutting budgets for other things within their departments while living it up on the taxpayer dime. >> you got ryan zinke, the interior secretary who called the story a little bs about private planes. he took a $12,000 charter flight to go home in an oil executive's plane. his staffers took a four hour flight from las vegas to montana aboard a private plane owned by the executives of a wyoming oil and glass exploration firm. on and on. these kind of stories are repeated over and over again. munchin taking his wife and landing on the treasury to watch the eclipse. it does feel that almost the trump cabinet is using these

already gave donald trump the $40. >> no rebates. >> you're not hurting donald trump. it's your money you're burning. but anyway they are doing that. they are very angry and it is about the wall. >> for this part of the republican base, this is an issue, immigration, amnesty that cuts so deep with them. remember, back in 2006 when really the origins of this alt right movement really started. look what happened to marco rubio, a tea party darling. he starts being part of the gang of six, gang of eight, immigration. he goes down. they immediately disowned him. then you look at donald trump's campaign on the border wall. it was very explicit. it was going to be the best wall we've ever seen. now he's starting to walk away from that. to trade it to give amnesty to these dreamers this is the highest possible betrayal you could ever have. >> if you go back and look at the polling on trump voters, the one thing that's consistent across economic class is they are very exorcised about the idea of unlawful immigration. immigration is the thing that drives them and it is the wall

does donald trump care? >> well, one aide says he can hardly remember the last time they seemed trump this pleased. one main reason here may be, guess what, the positive press, which donald trump may actually prize more than loyalty to his congressional republicans. one gop operative on this point explaining -- we got used to the new normal of chaos, maybe the new normal is betrayal for really no reason. another factor interesting, trump may be insulated from some of this allegedly bad news. you may know about i. i may know about it. he may not. instead of being able to march into the oval office and hand him the latest breitbart headline is playing with his fiercest nationalist reporters, aides supposeing this decision may have to go through a process implemented by, ofx, john kelly the general submitting a document request to get a presidential meeting. according to axios, he is getting fleeting however empty for alleged bipartisanship. you can't get mad about tweets you don't see. joining me to break it a

donald trump said that military options are on the table for dealing with kim jong un's nuclear ambitions and he's blaming predecessors full evening and what he called the mess with north korea it's all next on this edition of. the book. a lot of politicking on larry king on tuesday donald trump blame previous administrations for what he calls the mess he has been left to deal with regarding north korea's nuclear program so is that a fair assessment and how exactly did we get to this point anyway all this is mr trump also said he's not ruling out military options for ultimately dealing with kim jong un for the latest in what are all means i'm joined by david jolley foremost u.s. representative republican of florida he joins me from tampa and joel rubin who served as deputy assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs in the obama administration he is president of washington strategy group and he joins me from the nation's capital trump said previous administrations are responsible for this mess joel is that fair. well certainly the world we live in now is shaped by the predecessor

does that -- you know donald trump. does the kind of carping from right wing media elites get to him more, or would it take the actual faithful burning more hats? >> this is, again, the complexity of donald trump's psyche. these people attacking, it will backfire. he will not look at ann coulter, if he ever paid any attention to her at all, and say, oh, oh, she's upset. i better change my position. he will look at ann coulter and say you are my friend. now you are my enemy. this is not an intraspective man, not a man who thinks through policy, who thinks through, you know, where is my support jt wh support? what do i have to do to tactically satisfy them? it's, i am having an impulse. you are making me happy. i ak going to act on that impulse. the most important phrase that came out was chuck schumer getting caught on an open mike saying, well, he likes me. talking about trump. and if that's true, if trump likes him, that means schumer has figured him out. and if schumer's figured him out, there's going to be a lot more

greg popohvic slamming donald trump. >> this country is an embarrassment to the world. we have a choice, we can continue to bounce our heads off-the-wall with this conduct or we can decide the institutions of our country are more important, people are more important, the piece in america we thought we had is more important, get down to business at the grassroots level and do what we have to do. abca27 the white house says this is not about race but respecting the american flag. we haven't heard the last of this issue. abca27 a lot more football (and. ibly20 no one is talking about the actual game, who is winning and losing. speaking of losing. abca27's they are taking a tumble in the ratings in light of this though it hasn't been a good couple years for the nfl. look at the numbers, what we have been seeing, sunday night football, one of the most popular shows on television at nbc, they are down 7% since last week, that is an important show. ibly20 compared to last year, week 3, 10%, fox down 16%. cbs is up 4%. abca27 make of it what you will. maybe cbs had a good game.

if there's a question that donald trump jr. doesn't want to answer, does he need to ip vnvo the fifth amendment since this is a less than official committee proceeding, or can he just decline to answer? >> he could try and decline to answer, and the question is whether or not the members will direct the witness to answer. at that point he'd have to invoke the fifth. he doesn't have the ability to invoke executive privilege because we're talking about things that happened before the president became the president, and they're not given in that context. and many of these things, there's no other privilege that would apply. so he either has to answer, or he'd have to take the fifth. >> mieke eoyang and jill wine-banks, thank you both for joining us tonight. >>> coming up, more breaking news tonight. a report that steve bannon is now trying to find someone to replace paul ryan as speaker of the house. george will joins us next on republicans versus republicans. a pilot like you should be serving your country. you're c.i.a.? shh...

i wonder what people who are trump supporters make of the fact that one of the things that donald trump did when he went down the first time was to market hats, to sell the hat he was wearing, $45 a pop, i would them on the trump reelect website and it was promoted that trump fans can quote "buy the look." is that even too unseemly for trump supporters? >> i'm not sure they connect the dot between the storm and the hats. what i found is that people who don't like donald trump don't like him and that's not going to change and the people that do like him filter out the messages they want to hear from donald trump. i have polling evidence that shows that, his base is fairly solid. he's in the mid to late 30s and as far as storms are concerned there are political pitfalls and political opportunities. my house was flooded in 2015. i rode by 22 houses on the way to the studio today that still are boarded up and hadn't been fixed. nobody blamed president obama on that not being fixed and i doubt trump didn't have the visual like george bush had of looking out over air force one and not going d

charlie: does donald trump? steve: donald trump has an intuitive sense of people in moments. people say is donald trump smart? not only smart, he went to wharton and i want to harvard. he has something very unique about smarts, and that is applied intelligence in situations of immense pressure. he always says i don't joke. he is a money player. i have seen him in situations where the pressure is on and he has i do think it through and deliver. ♪ so new touch screens... and biometrics. in 574 branches. all done by... yesterday. ♪ ♪ banks aren't just undergoing a face lift. they're undergoing a transformation. a data fueled, security driven shift in applications and customer experience. which is why comcast business delivers consistent network performance and speed across all your locations. hello, mr. deets. every branch running like headquarters. that's how you outmaneuver. billy bush, how did that analysis apply to billy bush? take us inside the dilemma he faced. steve: we first got the tape on a friday afternoon from "the washington post," and i came to the same concl

donald trump's base is donald trump's base. steve king and aun coulter and sean hannity are insulted because he's didn't something they don't like doesn't mean donald trump's base is going to leave donald trump, they're not. >> no, he's the only game if town. i have been pretty impressed about up a coulter who wrote a book how we should trust trump. literally, "in trump we trust." >> nobody does that. >> in purpose awesome. i didn't make that up. >> did she really say we should trust trump? >> that's the book t. book is about how trump is awesome. but she's not rationalizing away her disappointment like some are. if particular, donald trump's base and some members of the base sunk costs into this guy and are invested in his success. she is beside herself with it. more power to her. >> yesterday she said that donald trump's dead, he should be impeached and she wants mike pence to ascend to the throne. >> she's not taking it well. >> but his supporters are taking a different tack. including sean hasn't they, he is saying it is ac

but i want to ask you about donald trump. can he go home to the democratic party after playing the race card? >> i think that we are missing a big important part of donald trump. there is no home. he is home. with donald trump. and i think that his motto is win. the only reason i think that he in his soul is moving toward miss pelosi and senator schumer is he's been losing as president. you have to remember donald trump, and you and i talked about this before. donald trump has always felt people looked down on him, and he's looking at all this press that says he cannot perform as president. he wants to prove i can perform as president, and he'll throw to republicans, the democrats, and everybody else to the side to show i can do this. you don't think i can do this. if i've got to deal with chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, i can do this. look at this reaction when we see what happened in the attack in the uk. told you i was right about the muslim ban because you didn't think i could do this. told you i was right about charlottesvi

it's possible now that donald trump jr. is going to come back and be asked more questions, possibly even in a public setting which is going to be one of the most dramatic days of this presidency if it happens. there's just a huge credibility problem here. and this is the latest example of that. >> julie, take on that last point, what are the chances, do you think, this may call for an opinion or judgment on your part that we're going to see the president's son, lights, camera, action, live all day on networks like this one? >> you saw two strategies playing out today on that front. on the one hand, you had don jr. saying in a statement after the meeting, basically that he answered every question that was asked of him. and he feels like that should satisfy the needs of this committee. that was his way of saying, i really don't want to go before the cameras. i think i've done my job here. but what you saw from democrats was, them coming out saying, no, actually, we have more questions. we feel like he didn't give us a full pi

can exploit flynn junior, can exploit both of them to give any information on donald trump and donald trump's inner circle which is the real target here snch. >> so jeremy bash, were you just nodding your head no? >> basically the argument they were too sloppily to follow the law i don't think will hold up to scrutiny here. >> carol, can you bring us all up-to-date when the flynn's, seen, and junior, have been doing? have they been making a living traveling the world, that kind of thing. >> well, we don't know much about michael flynn junior. michael flynn senior has appeared here and there. their lawyers both declined to comment. interestingly michael flynn senior's lawyer, when i asked him was he responsible to accusations of collusion with russia, he said no comment. whereas others have said that they deny that, who we know that the investigation is focusing on. but broadly, you know, this really raises the stakes for mike flynn, sr., in the sense that his son is now involved. and to the extent of robert mueller and special counsel can get him to cooperate with the investigation, t

donald trump of tuesday. you just don't know. but he comes in to a somewhat hostile environment based on things said about the united nations and contempt he's shown for a lot of international agreements popular with this crowd. finally people will be somewhat braced. whether you get a standard, typical american president speech, turned out certainly more critical of the united nations and the iran deal than barack obama would have been but basically okay from that perspective. or like vintage campaign donald trump going on a tirade, awkward but not out of the question. >> and the basically the speech has been written for days. something we haven't seen. delivering a classic campaign steege pre-written. much more ad-libbed and not a setting based on past experience he would do that. don't forget the person who sets policy really is, it's what donald trump wants. >> and that's the other issue. talk about the influence of bannon and that faction of the party, but there's a history here of donald trump going bac
