All of those issues. but i think if you go to the bottom line of all of them, it gets down to the fact hes changed his mind without a clear explanation to the public why. listen, i think reasonable people will look what hes doing in afghanistan and say okay, if you talk to the generals this is what they recommend. hes going to do it. but to have a different position last week, go into a weekend meeting, change his mind and give a speech tonight and then jump to the next thing illegal immigration...

News poll that only 28% approve of president trumps response to charlottesville. 56% disapprove. you say the pain of what happened last week is still here. explain. >> i think its apparent that if you look at what happened, right in charlottesville tonight, at that town hall meeting, the emotions are very much raw. we still have individuals in this country, who are confronting the reality that the progress that we have made on race, still is not where we would like it to be. when you talk about ...

I agree with ana, its good were hearing from the president on this. >> i just said if he wanted to speak about this, he could have said im going to address the nation regarding charlottesville and race. could he have addressed the nation regarding charlottesville and race and told a town hall. he didnt. he addressed a nation about afghanistan and then snuck something in there and didnt even mention charlottesville, didnt mention the words, just alluded to it. thats not a forthcoming approach. >>...

I mean, do you think trump will be your partys nominee in 2020? >> i dont know. the way things are going. i would say its most lie likely. susan collins, what she says doesnt cause me as much concern for trump as the things that breitbart news is writing. i disagree with a lot of their rhetoric when it comes to women and jewish people, when it comes to a lot of different things. but what they have honed in on on and why they became a successful website is because theyre hitting issues conservati...

When you talk about going down to phoenix, having a campaign-trial is rally in the week of that, talking about border issues and other issues that will inflame the emotions of a nation, is a dangerous thing. >> he said, at least the president mentioned -- my feeling is, if youre going to give it -- this is such a big issue that the core to -- to america, if youre going to speak about charlottesville and race, you speak about that. it should not be muddled with a speech about war. >> i think ther...

Administration. >> why are they doing that? >> in my opinion, i think the trump administration for some reason does want to fulfill at least some type of promise or agreement with russia about lifting some of these sanctions. i think thats absolutely incorrect for us to do. we still have not had full exposure to what they did during our elections and the fact theyre also trying to undermine other western democracies, and what we should be doing is putting more pressure on them, not less. the fac...

Welcome back. were awaiting results of the meeting between president trump and russian president vladimir putin. well bring you that as soon as we can. and often its about what isnt said thats the big news or how something is said. take todays face-to-face from president trump to the president of mexico. the small talk, brief, upbeat, about working together. renegotiate, for example, the north american free trade agreement and work together on border issues especially organized crime. and then...

Bill that works that really takes a lot of good reforms and starts to put them into place. if the objective is simply to repeal so you can say you repealed, whats coming in behind it. i think thats the problem certainly that the moderates have and some of the conservatives have believed that they want to repeal more and really go at the idea that these programs are not entitlement programs and i think thats the distinction. its a philosophical distinction which may make it harder to get everybod...
