Of the weekend, he had dinner with sean hannity, sat down with janine from fox news. he watched a lot of fox news. and he became convinced that immigration was a key thing for him to do before the election. yes, the republicans want to talk about tax reform. lets send you to west virginia, you can sit there and talk about tax reform and how good this has been for people. and not a single iota of news was made about tax reform today in west virginia, except for us saying that it was at a tax refo...

Involved in. his affairs go back many decades. he seems to be teflon-like in the way he can brush these things off. my suspicion is this is not going to do damage to his core base. they know a large part of this is true. i dont think they really care. i think what they care about is the kind of things he appealed to them during the election campaign. that was a deep sense of crisis in regard to the political establishment which had, in their view, what real americans wanted. they wanted to have ...

Making his problems worse. >> youre absolutely right, but hes doing it on purpose. >> sure. >> nobody around him thinks at this point that hes actually going to fire robert mueller. could change tomorrow, but what hes intentionally trying to do is whip up the people who like louie gohmer and who believe louie gohmert and keep churning and muddying the waters. >> i think it goes beyond the core base. i think theres plenty of people who look and say, theres been nothing to any of this, cant we jus...

Essentially nothing. he backed away from the tougher limits on who can buy assault weapons. he kicked this to a national commission headed by, of all people, betsy devos, one of the least unifying personalities i can imagine. he didnt address the issue the country cares about. instead what he does is take the show on the road as he did to pennsylvania and it does appeal to his core base, you can see him smiling and laughing and cheering in the background but were going to have another test tomor...

Currency manipulator. the president said, oh, yeah, i forgot. peter navarro was booted from the economics group and treasury department and said, we are not working with this guy. they sent him down to wilbur town. >> this is crank economics of the worst kind. youre right, no one actually believes this will turn out well. there are a few points. yes, this may help him with his core base, but as core base isnt leaving him for anything. it will continue to erode support within the business communi...

Particular topic by the nra because i dont think he had a mind of his own on it. hes never been a student of policy. its i think the -- >> he understands money though and if teachers are armed in schools that would sell a whole lot of guns. >> right, give them a bonus, theyll carry a gun. i think this is one of those examples where the sort of tragic comic path the president follow, the policy positions, have dangerous implications. he hasnt been a student of the gun issue other than to play to ...

Focused on his role very much. which is the white house counsel, don mcgahn, who seems from my understanding. >> who is protecting him? the media hasnt hit him very hard. >> he seems to have known about this information. >> its his job to know it. >> the conduit for receiving this information. where was he advising the president? but the fundamental -- is this going to be a political problem for the white house? with who? with women who have seen him time after time assert that women arent to be...

Would not be surprised if one of the publishers come calling. >> maybe its a book deal. normal lay person who leaves the white house and talks and talks and talks like she is, would never be able to fwhorg d.c. again. >> yes. and she sent a warning shot. when she did a "good morning america" interview, she said she had a story to tell. heres the thing. omarosa is trying on reengage her core base which is african-americans. even though she was hired to be a liaison, she is not thought of very wel...

>> okay, well on one level, wolf, its not going to look good, right? its going to look like the president is trying to hide behind his lawyers and that hes not willing to go out there and face the music on whats been a year and a half or year-long investigation. but politically, im guessing that the white house is thinking, play it safe. they can read poll numbers. they can see right now in real clear politics polling numbers, the president is at 42. thats only 42% lower than he was on inaugurat...

There angry victims. however, what if you say to yourself -- if you were chuck schumer and they stormed into your office demanding daca? what if you were nancy pelosi and making a speech and get interrupted by the so-called daca kids. are you really going to say i did nothing again? steve: thats what happened last time because they were -- you know, the democrats have taken a lot of heat from their core base why didnt you come up with a daca deal then? but then at the same time, its like the sta...
