In a competing newspaper tonight that the white house is calling people with names like hannity and dobbs just to try to rally support among people whose opinion matters to the president. >> it matters a great deal to the president and part of what the president is trying to avoid is make this look like a defeat or a concession to his supporters around the country. theyve been hearing about the wall now for more than three years since he laned his campaign and its time that he show some results ...

Maybe there wont be a quorum going forward in the senate. it reminds me of jack kennedys line about -- he -- people said why are you running for president so young? he said, well, i looked around and thought, well, if they can do it, i certainly can. and so i think there must be a good bit of that. it will be very interesting to see given there are so many people who are colleagues and who know each other pretty well how the tone and tenor gets as the race continues. that is, they would know eac...

Fascinating internal struggle. the strongest nominee, its very, very hard to say. history would tell us that united states senators dont often make it. president kennedy, president obama are the exceptions there. governors tend to do better. but, again, donald trump is president, so what the hell do we know? >> the message to young budding future cable hosts is always have smart people on. weve proven that again tonight. clarence page, jon meacham, friends, thank you both very much. have a great...

Film star. >> thats right. and its worth remembering that it was if you look back to bill clintons presidency, it was lying in a deposition in a sexual harassment lawsuit about monica lewinsky. >> he cant get through a phone call on "fox & friends." how is he going to get through a deposition? >> joe, i want to make a comment to you about this because i feel like as weve talked about donald trump and his legal entanglements over the course of many, many, many, months, this thing that happened ye...

So if youve been paying attention to all the drama over this memo before it even came out today, you know there are some republicans and some cable hosts who were not exactly subtle when they described its supposed contents and the potential impact. take a look. >> this is bigger than watergate. thats like watergates like stealing a snickers bar from a candy store, a drugstore in comparison. >> you think about is this happening in america, or is this the kgb? thats how alarming it is. >> this is...

Play he ran at the end of the 2016 campaign where he stopped tweeting for three weeks. his poll numbers went from 40 to 41% to 45%. he got close enough to knock hillary clinton off in a very close race. so if he just goes back -- if he could just control the twitter -- im not saying dont tweet at all. its an effective tool. if he could on the it down, not get in fights with cable hosts and celebrities, tone it down, the numbers would go up. >> jon: leslie, what would be your advice for the presi...

Venomous tweets with cable hosts of a new show. >> he has to meet a higher standard than cable news, right? >> i dont think you can be expecting someone to be attacked every single day. the people elected a fighter. he won overwhelmingly. >> kimberly: obviously this dominated the news coverage. you didnt hear much about north korea and health care but you did hear about the mika and a cello chronicles. greg, what did you make of the situation? >> greg: i didnt like the tweets but i detest them m...
