Run, and it was launched actually earlier than had planned. and i just think that they -- you know, look, other administrations have dealt with critical books in the past and theyve done it in a way, whether it was a republican or a democrat, where they sort of just dismissed it and moved on and talked about their message. and this white house just isnt capable of doing that. >> matt, lets talk about immigration, daca and the wall proposal, this presented to dick durbin, democrat from the senate...

All right. just days after bragging about the size of his nuclear button, president trump insists that hes willing to talk to north korean dictator kim jong-un on the phone. an apparent 180 in tone and policy. but today top cabinet officials are pushing back on critics who question whether the presidents statements and tweets on north korea are a cause for concern. >> you said in december the presidents tweets actually helped the cia execute its mission. this week the president tweeted about the...

Administration is not going to fall prey to the same trap previous administrations did. >> negotiators for north and south korean will sit down for the first time in years. what are the expectations for the talks. >> theyre going to 230e cussfo getting a north korean delegate here for the olympics. but where they want to engage is these talks lead to more talks after the olympics and some break through after the program. we know the two sides are so far apart, kim jong-un is has said theyll neve...

Tock of the internal workings of those administrations. somebody very high up made the decision to let him come in. it looks initially from wolffs reporting and the way in which the trump administration is handling the wolff book, that the trump team is so unorganized that there didnt have been to be a checkoff by the guy at the top for wolff to be walking around the oval offers. thats amazing. >> michael wolff was interviewed by the bbc overnight and i want to review something that he said beca...

>> hes not your chief of staff. >> i think its a legitimate discussion. in fact, there was one tonight earlier on this network with can cuccinelli, two distinguished lawyers who worked in different administrations and knew the law. and they had a disagreement on if he had to recuse himself. i believe and i work for a law enforcement, thats what you require lawyers for to get different opinions. ultimately sessions overruled the arguments that were presented to him and said, i think i need to rec...

The idea but given the many thieves that came there seem to be no one person to make this happen. equally there was no one to say go away. hence i became more a constant interloper than an invited guest, something quite close to an actual fly on the wall having accepted no rules nor having made any promises object whabou might or might not write. is that typically the degree of access that he can plop down on a sofa and get whatever he wants? >> no. and in fact, bob woodward created a model for ...

Another political issue for the president, that remains to be seen. it is just not clear how this would play into the obstruction case and keep in mind, ana, i have said it a couple of times today, when jeff sessions was the attorney general, this was a very different investigation. this investigation was being headed by james comey and the russia investigation itself was different. it was looking at different things. now, once the president fired the fbi director, the investigation completely c...

Its clearly coming from steve bann bannon. >> right. >> the book is trump world as told by steve bannon through michael wolff. but the mystery of letting him have access and sitting there is astounding. >> we see this time and again with eager administrations. the clintons did it with would be woodward and gave bob woodward a lot more access than was expected. bob woodward puts out a book that absolutely shocks them in 93. its happened here. it happens all the time. people, these politician and ...
