Hes going to have to get something that is at least a faint at the wall for his supporters. in the past, thats been the moment the ann coulters of the the world have turned him on him i think there has got to be enforcement there. there has always been a weird dynamic where trump could be a nixon to china on comprehensive immigration reform. the issue for many right of center people, rightly, they dont trust the federal government to do the enforcement part. they trust him more than they have tr...

Side of the issue too often. something like daca with democratic activists you dont want to say no, no, no, no, no when you could get it. >> its a good point. i think that the politics for some democrats, some red state democrats in 2018 will be to work on things because its risky for a heidi heitkamp and joe manchin and others to, you know, be completely on the anti side of this. at the same time, we have not seen any substantive meetings, really, with a bipartisan group of republican -- of con...

Mental fitness. >> josh, how effective is that pushback? >> i dont know its hugely effective. the fact that these questions were being asked of tillerson are fraught with significance. its widely reported that tillerson last year called trump a moron in a meeting at the pentagon. thats a charge tillerson really didnt dispute. he never came out and said, no, i never called the president a moron. so i think that gives the sense, really support to wolffs thesis that the people around him dont have ...

This -- either his fitness or stability, that is a major problem for them. >> i also think, though, we should put it in perfective, like you said. there is no one in the trump base who voted for trump that is bothered by this. they believe the media is piling on. in some respects, they are. this is very much a conversation happening here in washington and across the country and, indeed, around the world, but we shouldnt pretend that everyone is on -- having it. this is going to rally his support...

Record or if it was tied for being the safest year on record. >> the central question is, is the president responsible for it being the safest year on record, jason. >> i think hes had a huge part of it, and i think he absolutely should be able to take credit for it. >> thats ridiculous, im sorry. you cant give the president credit for the plane not crashing. >> and president obama should be able to take credit for the years he had fantastic safety records as well. >> thank goodness he didnt bec...

Were zero deaths in to 20 17. the best and safetiest year on record. its actually been nearly eight years since the last fatal airline crash in the u.s. asked how the president could claim responsibility for the safety streak, the white house press secretary answered like this. >> the president has raised the bar for our nations aviation security. he is very grateful. >> now the president said he was looking forward to a fan ttasti 2018. at least in politics, its getting off to a rough start. he...

Including online. what i really worry about, though, is he has set the bar so unbelievably low for lying, from himself and from his staff, that i worry even a democrat will get in and say why should we unilaterally tell the truth. trump just spent four years lying to us multiple times a day. >> with that, carrie, i want to ask you when it comes to "the new york times" article, it goes on to say when it comes to the president and what it will lay forward for the next president, that the next pres...

Conversations with russians, and continually, we see more and more of this. just recently, we saw the president saying no collusion, but if there was collusion, there wouldnt be a crime. we keep seeing how far do we have to go until we say theres prr no contact, yes, there is. theres no this, yes, there is. >> we see the gop argument about the steele dossier, the original impetus to all of this. where does it go when it comes to that, sabrina? is that argument dead? >> i think that certainly the...

Investigation going to carry through 2018? >> i think absolutely. its very clear there have been some key indictments of high ranking officials in the campaign. we know that michael flynn has said he would cooperate with the investigation. obviously, george papadopoulos has been doing so since july. its clear muellers team is being very cautious. they have kept this within the context of russian interference in the u.s. election. potential collusion between associated of the trump campaign and m...

>> i cant speak to my colleagues. i know that -- >> is it off limits? >> i dont personally talk about relatives. >> is it off limits on his part? >> you know, youll have to ask him. >> which we did. all right. i want to ask you about last month, cohen, representative cohen, entering articles of impeachment. politico is reporting that democratics are divided over the impeachment debate. do you see a risk if there is not bipartisan approval? >> i think impeachment is one of the gravest responsibil...
