Is no, i we so now were in the situation of where its the worst of zblorl worlds. >> i can just ask you, daniel, am i overdramatizing the concern over a high-level white house official going on national television and when faced by a conspiracy theory thats being peddled by the russians, that official going, anything is possible, it could have happened, dohappene happened, do you see any concern there in terms of kpa whawhat e hes doing? >> this is where the trump administration succeeded in, fr...

Jinping. >> all right. daniel drezner, thank you very much for being on. well be looking out for your new book coming out in march entitled theed toler a entitled the toddler and chief. and as we go to break, a live look from hong kong where protesters are gathering yet again, some of who are waving an american flag. still ahead, its a jarring cover image in new york flags latest issue. a man in a klans robe with the heading a year in america. a new look inside a growing terrorist movement. ...

The president had an opportunity to get his wall, at least a lot of it from congress, and he has been unable to negotiate that compromise deal. he even had the prospect of getting mexico to pay for it with the imposition of a border adjustment tax and that wasnt satisfactory to this white house. they have moved on from this wall at every opportunity and theres not a lot of appetite for a giant boondoggle on the southern border among republicans in congress so if youre going to get it, you were p...

We want to be connected? i have to say on that front, i find it so laughable that people are saying david hogg is a brown shirt because he is talking to advertisers and asking whether they want to advertise in the free market and people are making decisions based on their economic best interests. but as you step back out, in the long run advertisers arent going to want to be associated with this and, yes, anchors that do this now its on their reel for good and this is a no-win proposition. i sus...

International politics from tuft university, daniel drezner. good to have you on this morning. >> dan, it would be great to start with you. donald trump is now because he saw a fox news report that had a lower third that talked about a caravan of people coming to the united states, hes saying hes going to scrap nafta, can you talk about theism pact on middle-class americans if, in fact, the president did scrap nafta or carry through on his threat because he didnt like a banner on the bottom of a...

E-mail, it is virtually impossible for the president and the administration to claim they didnt know anything about it. and its virtually impossible to believe when the spokesperson says that he won an arbitration, but hes ignorant about why they paid this money. its impossible to believe. theres too many things that dont add up. i think its making it worse by dragging it out. theyre not going to listen to me, about thank you woubut it w if he would own up to this and focus on things much more i...

Committed to it. that should have been outlined prior to accepting this invitation, thats one place they made a mistake. >> was that the reason sarah sanders added a giant as tire ising to the meeting? >> i dont know what it is. it was important to say that, it was important to let people know were not giving up everything, kim jong-un has the high ground. were not giving up everything, without them sacrificing something, that should have been stated yesterday. this should have been a beautiful ...

And somehow gets away with it, and then she says one word wrong, just one word -- she looked up from the paper and she got the order of the words wrong, and the whole roof falls in. thats not on sarah. the marbles arent coming from sarah. the marbles are coming from the oval office. its about the president of the united states, not the staff. >> dan, today, sarah sanders seemed to walk back the meeting, saying that, well, certain parameters have to be met and they have to have certain promises. ...
