Page 14 - Consensus View News Today

Op ed piece today and saw in it a reason for them to continue. >> youre right, lawrence. this op ed is no "minority report." i think it is the consensus view, the vast majority of people who work around the white house, the senior levels of the administration, have arrived at the same view of this. there are the people i talk to, the people that ron, wendy, eric talk to, you talk to, lawrence. i literally have not talked to a senior person who said, actually, everything is fine. the president is...

Betrayal of the nation, he is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. >> we are living in a national emergency. >> that was the consensus view. even some fox news stars said trump screwed up. but his most loyal promotors, like lou dobbs said something else. >> trump disappointed the left wing media, i think the president handled himself perfectly. >> even trump new it wasnt perfect because he came out the next day and clarified what he said and said he still supports inintel. thats all the trump me...

And the united states were to team up on some matters. even if that means rejecting that consensus view. how would you respond to that? >> there are clearly places where the united states and russia need to have a dialogue but you have to enter into those discussions from a position of strength. and what we saw today was complete capitulation. i dont know what his definition of a strong relationship is but one version of it is one which country is a client of the other country and right now it s...

Meeting, just the two of them, and their interpreters in the room. president trump has ratcheted down expectations for this meeting with vladimir putin, saying he has low expectations, which i think is fairly notable, given the intensifying pressure on this president from lawmakers, democrat and republican alike, to really call putin for account for what is the consensus view was a nefarious act, an attack on the heart of democracy. russias meddling in the 2016 election. so far, weve seen the pr...

Behaved as an fbi agent. >> jeremy? >> clearly, there were things peter strzok was learning as part of the investigation causing him to have such alarm early on about donald trump. i think in light of the fact that those text messages were written that mueller did the right thing removing him from the investigation. the point isnt whether or not this individual has a bias for or against donald trump. the point is that hes not part of the investigation. the mueller investigation has been professi...

Interest your reaction to this court opening. the republican party is an anti-abortion party almost entirely, thats a sort of consensus view. the legal stars of the conservative movement in the republican party are opposed to abortion. many think that roe was terribly decided and sloppy. and then awful a sudden everyone gets bizarrely quiet when the opportunity is up for a supreme court justice who would presumably provided fifth vote to overturn roe. and i dont quite get it. is it just politics...

Abortion nationwide, found to be a constitutionally protected right. but right now both women arent saying much to put abortion rides advocates at ease. "ms. murkowski has said she will consider a nominees views on the abortion rights views but that it alone would not be a litmus test for her choice." joining me now is journalist erin carmone, co-author of the notorious rbg. shes got a piece in the "washington post" sayinger, conservatives will try overturn roe versus wade. and leon wolfe, manag...

What would a rate hycomine for the average consumer? >> well, clearly a bit of debate going on inside the fed about its approach to inflation. it does seem that consensus view is they can allow it to run a a higher. while the u.s. economy continues to recover. in terms of a rate hike that might come as soon as june. thats about making sure the economy doesnt run too hot. for the average consumer, an increase in interest rates could mean slightly higher mortgage payments, potentially slightly hig...

Analyst jeffrey toobin. we have a lot to get through on this one-year anniversary of the mueller probe starting. is rudy guiliani right? a sitting president cannot be indicted and when robert mueller have told him that? >> this is one of the gray unanswered questions of constitutional law. the supreme court has never addressed this question. no prosecutor has tried to indict a president. there is justice department guidance going back to the 1970s that says a president cannot be indicted. and th...

Essentially called on robert mueller to wrap up the probe. is that the consensus among republican lawmakers? do they find his comments concerning? try to put a timeline on this. >> you see a split among republicans, among some close allies of the white house and the president, you hear something similar. hey, this investigation has gone on a long time. you know, whats the deal? lets finish this thing up. but a lot of republicans ive talked to say lets just let this investigation finish in due ti...
