Assistant to george w. bush. scott, let me start with you, were there echos of the axis of evil speech that president bush spoke about before the war against saddam hussein in 2003? >> this definitely had shades of that remark and im glad to see that because during the campaign, donald trump ran as something of an isolationist and if you watched todays speech, he took you on a world tour of american priorities and american engagement. if you were expecting donald trump the isolationist you did n...

The people that are not happy are those in that other 20%. >> well, yes and no. in fact, we are going to need a lot of discussion. again, i would hope that on nbc, cbs, abc, we can begin to have that kind of discussion in a serious way. but here is the truth. you know, gallup does a lot of polling on this issue, and what they find out is that the most popular health insurance program in this country is medicare. >> right. >> seniors feel really good. veterans administration ranks very high. in f...

Continuing to support him. so i think that we shouldnt underestimate the strength of who hes performing for. hes performing for those fans and those fans still support him. >> i think theres an important distinction there. there are some people who support trump or support him in spite of the antics and the personality. and there are some people who support him primarily because of that. and its the latter category that i think are the fans and the base that are the 30% or what. its the more mar...

18-to-29 now support donald trump. thats down like 15, 16, 17 points since his 100 day mark. hes at a 34% approval rating at gallup. his lowest ever. this has been a brutal month for a president. if hes striking out again, hes only punching himself in the face politically. >> i think no matter what, there will be clashes, right? he still is pushing for this border wall. yes, he might get past september. but government funding is likely going to come up again if december. you have a bunch of memb...

You. >> bill karins, thanks, so much. now lets turn to politics and there is a big agenda coming up for the president. he ended august with an approval rating of 34% overall according to gallup. continuing a summer slide in the polls, while his disapproval rises, this as washington hurdles towards dead lines to keep the government operating and out of default t. legislative calendar is short, to pass cuts from the border wall the president says mexico will pay for and nowed a minster disaster re...
