>> its certainly good data. i think at some point trump will have to put more on his scoreboard to effectively say here are the actions ive taken along with my colleagues in congress to make improvements for the country. at some point, you can only go so far with executive orders. i think thats why the obamacare battle again, the fact its taking so much longer than people thought initially will be problematic if it drives on and prevents other legislative actions to be taken. >> before we talk a...

Would have been trying to do this. so we should be making that distinction. >> lets talk to a national security expert right now. juliette, to you, what questions do you have about this connection to russia and the trump organization? could it be a potential hack? >> yeah, but i want to put that -- that wouldnt be in my top five what it is. we dont know at this point based on the reporting whether data was communicate order if it was a whole bunch of pings and there might an series of explanatio...

Denials like this. and then following the denials comes some rev lielation that te were more discussions. the more you see of that, the more it at least looks like a cover up and thats why there are these calls for some kind of independent or bipartisan investigation. but its hard not to follow this story. and not think that the trump administration is at least trying to conceal the extent of f the interaction with russian officials. again, no evidence of collusion. but theres certainly more dis...

Your reaction. >> i dont think tax returns represent a fishing expedition. i think that they represent a 50-year tradition that has served our country very well and giving each voter out there another data point in making their own determination and their own conclusions in deciding who they want to represent them as president of the united states. and i think that more information is better than less, and i think we need to be careful as parties often types we protect our own, but to be equal i...

Throw every year. but this is, a data point in a bigger trend, i think. which is just that -- theres this big divide and that the press is being demonized by president trump in ways that you know, hes being dishonest himself about some things when hes talking about the news being fake and that reporters are lying. and that theyre making up sources. >> well its an extreme position that hes taking. republicans always criticize the media. this has reached the point where its over the top, actually....

Has published one false story after another, with no sources, even though they pretend they have them. make them up in many cases. they just do not want to report the truth and they have been calling us wrong now for two years. they dont get it. >> is that true and will that continue to we have a political reporter from the daily news joining us. he was firing up the people who stood in line there for hours and hours. what about the impact on the wider national audience intent >> that is a good ...

Vice-president, very heavy hitters. so, short list and they shouldnt be nominating themselves. the white house should be approaching people saying, do you want this? >> the day of phil mudd. we were like what? so, that aside. mark preston, youre watching this go down. such chaos. is this just a data point and a larger graph? >> its a finally tuned machine. i dont know what youre talking about chaos. this is not chaos. bottom line 50,000 feet, the administration is moving along. ill preface this ...

With talking points in advance, where they had carveouts for permanent legal residents, people in transit, people for interpreters and those types of people and limited the pause moving forward. i think we would be having a different conversation about the policy. but that is not what happened, and therefore there is a debacle that the administration has been cleaning up for the last 48 hours. >> bret: david, what about donald trump tweeting "109 people out of 3 and a 25,000 were detained and he...
