Tit for tat? >> well, i didnt like it when the president said the press is the enemy of the american people. im a media critic myself. ive been up there. i dont mind some give and take that goes too far. theyre not our enemy. they can be to oppositional. thats a real problem for the press. but the press invited this problem on ourselves. according to gallup, the news is supposed to tell the news fair and accurately and that is at a historical low. that is a problem. >> neil: and i hearing the pr...

Bush, republican, former press secretary, for the president. nice to see you, ari, how are you? >> great to be with you. >> let me start there and ask you about the press and what your former boss said about it this morning. i think everyone would agree that this white house has gotten off on a different footing with the press. do you see it as just a rocky beginning or do you see a real distinction between the way the white house is dealing with the press? >> yes, ive noticed that rocky beginni...

Democratic party worship center. when we have a look at what has happened in recent years, republican presidents are mocked in a brutal way, while democratic presidents are soothed and patted like family pets. >> well, we have had all the other -- both president bushs have been up and there clinton has been up there. its kind of an equal opportunity roasting, is it not? >> i think its not. i think its very clear that democratic presidents get a much easier, much smoother run than republican pres...

Only done about 10% of all the things that he said he would get done in the first 100 days -- chris: well, its only been one month. [laughter] >> right, but i think its critical to understand, he was talking about things he would get done out of the box that would drain the swamp, transform this government. theres so little progress on that front. and when we come back to the press, you see a very interesting thing here. the quinnipiac poll this week showing despite his constant attacks saying t...

Representative, having a target in your back yard, trying to get your issues, your agenda pushed forward by talking to them, thats the next step beyond the march. >> thank you, kyung. appreciate it. i want to bring in "new york times" columnist nick kristof. is this democracy at work? >> yeah, it is. and it is -- i find it robust to see these kind of exchanges. i must question a little bit how much impact its going to have at the end of the day trump is astonishingly, extraordinarily popular amo...

In the new york, washington media establishment. >> bill: no matter what he does, national security advisor today, looks like a pretty good guy, he is never going to get credit. gallup has him, president trump, 42% job approval, 52% disapproval. no matter how you read the poll, the country remains divided on president trump.di i think it will stay that way until the economy at the end of the year, you can find it a the year, you can define it a little bit. last word. >> i think he has got some l...

Talk about something else. trump is doing so favors for himself either. look at his record low approval ratings from gallup. it is not fake news, its real and there is a new poll out from pew that shows that only about 1/3 of the people think he is trustworthy and well informed. a third of the people think see a good communicator. his strategy isnt working and he would be well served to change it. he is playing to the minority of people that voted for him. >> shannon: when you put him up against...

We assume all around the world, initiation starts there and then we react. but initiation is not starting there. so its interesting to see who understands the new world and the asian leaders seem to get it. in japan, in china. theyre like, okay, we have to be the actors. its not going to be the white house. the europeans sort of get it. v. pute -- vladimir putin began to get it this week. he turned on trump, the russian media. theyre going to start being more aggressive. congress, they have not ...

Arsenal and he cannot come to terms with simple facts. >> he may have made a mistake. >> its not about how it plays well or not. theres substance and truth to it. do republicans believe a guy that flies off the handle should have this control. >> he does have this control. >> you are not his audience. rush limbaugh is his audience and the people who listen to rush limbaugh are his audience and clearly it played well with them thachlt is who he is trying to target. over the weekend, hes having a ...
