Amy Parn News Today

>> yeah, and if he can convince people that all those people that gathered there were clearing him on and for him, he will do that. he will use to his advantage. he feels like -- this is a guy who cares about nothing else but optics. >> amy and matt will stay with us. and were expecting to hear from nancy pelosi who may have a few things to say about the latest act of defiance by the trump white house. and the growing calls for impeachment from democrats. at the center of that defiance, the form...

Sources are saying. amy and matt are back. what are you hearing? >> this weekend was a bad moment for never-trump republicans and their opponents. larry hogan of maryland decided he wasnt going to do it. cnn commentator john kasich said he probably wouldnt do it. so now what were seeing is this weird thing where a lot of neoconservatives are warming up to libertarians, these people who dont like each other, have been fighting each other for 20 years. one is very interventionist, the other is ver...

The queen. there he is clinking glasses with prince charles and camilla. and he was very complimentary of theresa may at the news conference, compare that to the criticism of the way may has handled the departure from the eu. the president last year was really critical of may. this time around he said that the uk should have walked away from the deal to try to get back some of the leverage in the situation. but they feel good about it certainly. and it is not a mistake that the president has a l...

Play whether they want to or not. >> cnn white house reporter sarah westwood live from the white house with us now, and amy parn is with us as well, co-author of "shattered." heres the thing. president trump has cast himself, particularly this week as a unifier. he wants to bring people together he says but he is blaming journalists, hes not taking any responsibility for this, and amy, the fact that sayoc is somebody who was a big supporter obviously of the president, does he have a responsibili...

Moscow, tries to control the narrative increasingly. >> amy, sarah, thank you both. >> thank you. still to come, something a lot of people have been waiting to see this upcoming week. the trial for former campaign chairman paul manafort. the charges he faces and what we can expect to hear from this. plus, all 17 victims have now been identified in that deadly boat accident in missouri. coming up, we hear from a woman who lost nine family members including her three children. and a prominen...

Creation of friction there. but again, owning the narrative. then we get to the position of a suggestion coming from the vladimir putin that the white house had since the meeting pushed back on. but there are suggestions that it was being entertained by donald trump if not the rest of his administration on having a referendum among the population who were essentially living in an area captured by russian-backed ukrainian proxies and russian troops themselves in the east of ukraine. remember, of ...

Possibility that other administration officials may never know everything that was discussed during that meeting and are left looking at these potential tentative agreements that putin and trump supposedly struck through the lens of trumps recollection. and as we know, thats not always reliable. so certainly thats something that trump may be advised going forward. again, think about the timing of when this meeting will take place. in the fall when republicans are potentially -- before the midter...

Take these things in a vacuum very cleanly. yes, the president was saying he would, you know, go to bat for american steel, but if that engenders retaliatory moves from adversary nations, maybe allies, it doesnt actually just have to stick to the realm of steel and aluminu aluminum. we could be talking about all kinds of products that get slapped with tariffs and youre in a moredifficult economic situation sitting in this country. >> amy, is it the president going it alone or is it theres such ...

Lets discuss the turbulent week. joining me is cnn political analyst karoon demarjarun amy parn. is there something different about the convergence of gun reform this week, staffing issues and now tariffs that makes this a bit more challenging of a stew? >> yes, weve gotten used to there being multiple things happening in any given week. this week, it really is a very high level crisis happening at once. youve got the palace intrigue about staffing trickling up to trumps son-in-law, potentially ...

Happen but the intensity of them i think is very unique than the one weve just been through. >> senate minority leader chuck schumer called all of this recent turmoil from the white house damaging not just here at home but he also says abroad. listen to his conversation with our wolf blitzer. >> this is really damaging whether youre a democrat or a republican. if you love the country, you dont want to see a white house that seems to be so chaotic, so incompetent and so filled with contradictory ...
