In these cuts, i think thats where the bulk of this presidents time should be. what happened, you know, prior to the election, its gone. donald trump is the president now, and now its time to act and the american people are waiting. i think there are bigger things that could be of importance with this presidents administration right now than any kind of wiretapping. >> fred, whats your take on all of this? >> i could not agree more. i think its inexplicable and outrageous that he continues to ma...

Th any of t opgs are good. y litary action is going to get a substantial number of people killed on both sides of the korean, you know, border. what we -- during the campaign, you know, donald trump said that china could solve this problem if it wanted to. im not sure thats true. in a tweet the other day he said that china needs to do more. that is true. my worry is that today, you know, foreign minister yang and his remarks with secretary tillerson continue to convey one of the main problems he...

Expressing concern. congressman howe rogers of kentucky called trumps budget draconian, careless, and counter productive. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has said that a budget that cuts the state departments funding by one-third would not likely pass. >> for one, just speaking for myself, think the diplomatic portion of the federal budget is very important, and you get results a lot cheaper frequently than you do on the defense side. >> white house officials say the budget is based on th...

Did not support him." a new nbc news poll shows, as fred yang, one of the pollsters put it, "a majority of the american public starts the donald trump presidency in opposition." . so, if everyone you know is in opposition to donald trump, you are not living in a bubble. you are living among the majority. and you are living through something weve never lived through before, a majority of americans with deep hostility to an incoming president. bill clinton was elected with only 43% of the vote in ...

Quote/unquote with russia, while it will certainly morph and change, speaks to that as well. so i think what donald trump is doing here is he is putting china on notice. and i have to say i am somewhat everyone thet toik the argument he is making that china has not done well vis-ais t united states economicly andheyre going to have to do better or he is going to start questioning what they see as fundamental to their relationship with the united states. i dont know how hes going succeed in this ...

From the numbers youve been watching as a pollster, are these two topics that are really at the top of the issues that donald trump supporters are hanging onto? >> well, i think right now the dominant issue in the country is the economy and jobs. look, i think when youre president of the united states, which he will be in less than a week, things you say or i guess things now you fwetweet carriese day. i think in terms of china and russia, what is interesting, you know, about the trump presidenc...

Has led to frankly human rights catastrophes around the world at this point and rising national security threats as well. so im not surprised that the trump administration wants to try something massively different, because the way we do things, quote/unquote, hasnt been working. so well try something different here and i think that so far at least with the trump administration has been doing looks like it actually has been working. good. chinas paying attention. thats right, china. you think th...

Structured in that same trickle-down way. so please lets not fall for that once again. >> all right. i see that you, gerald, and peter are lock step together on the way you think this will work. thanks for sticking with us as we went through the breaking news. well talk more about this topic. but things happen as they do. the breaking news is that reince priebus announced by donald trump and his transition team to be the next white house chief of staff and one of the first comments he made after...

Decision was made well hear that it was a unanimous decision. kellyanne conway, im confident, was on board with this. mike peps was on board with this. reince priebus is the one who said four years ago were foipg to make an investment in data and digital in the ground game in four-year cycles like betsy was saying. that turned out to be a highly important decision for the trump campaign that didnt have that walking into the general. so reince priebus is really why donald trump won this campaign ...

The trump administration, i once again think thats a very good thing for the republican party. >> fred, as youve been listening to the conversation here, the question might be at least we discussed this today on msnbc, might they bring in now as future decisions will be announced, might they bring in a centrist democrat? might they bring in somebody who as you bring in this team of rivals, right, to work together that is a variety of perspectives from all across the political spectrum and for th...
