President trump figures out things quickly. hes got a rock-solid republican conservative base. i would encourage him and ive writ bn this, to go more to the center. to grab -- i think his success comes from his popularity. his popularity will come from legislative reforms. tax cuts, infrastructure. i think he can do big bills in education. we have a student loan crisis, $1.4 trillion. nobody is talking about it, except the 20 million kids that cant pay their loans every month. and the families s...

The repacks ive read in the media about syria is true, it seems to me what were doing is essentially sub ordinary naigt ourselves to the russians as a sustained had, assad, which has been their position all along. and i think what that does in the long run is really marginalize whatever leverage we had in influencing developments there. >> when an american, or any other power lays down before putin, what is putins reaction to that? how does he do with that acceptance? >> necessary my view, not a...

Given what is going on. >> jesse: he came into office assuming hed have a good relationship with cig chuck. the relationship deteriorated once crying chuck stand him in the back once they had the meeting. doesnt surprise me that crying chuck is acting like this. theyre defending so many seats in the midterms. theyre in deep, deep trouble in the midterms. 10 of the states they have to defend are trump states. politically, right now theres not a lot of reason for the democrats in the senate to go ...

Idealogue. as he said in an introspective way in the rose garden last week, he was elected because he likes to get involved and try to get things done and because he is flexible. that is what he is showing on all of these issues. now, for mere mortal politicians it would be a flip-flop and game over, but so far it hasnt been for donald trump. well see. >> and if you voted for him and if you like him, you prize that unorthodoxness, that flexibility, as he puts it. if you dont, you think this is s...

Here? we need straight talk from people in government. stop using politics. i consider myself a logical person. this plan does not make logical sense. i am not on idealogue. i think most of the people who came up with the plan are ideologues. they say survival of the fittest. if you have money you can have access to health care, if you dont, youre out of luck. >> do you see this health care plan as the ryan plan or the trump plan? >> there is no question that paul ryan has been a much more outsp...

And also to give the child every chance of life. they dont go inside of her and dismember her child. >> you think a woman should face the risk of death in order to give birth? >> im not saying that. we can give her and her child the best chance at life. medical technology is astounding. one of my interns last year survived being born 21 weeks in utero. theres no chance where a woman is going to say we have to abort this child. you deliver the child and you give the child every chance, all the me...

Be shaped in the next administration, but also about probably running the white house efficiently. im comfortable with donald trump taking that advice. >> i have always said i dont think hes an idealogue. he doesnt stick to rigid dogma and world view. im not that surprised hes open to talking to other people. with barack obama maybe its shocking to some people because of the rhetoric that was used about obama but we have seen a lot of people on both sides whoey a lot of rhetoric, they sort of se...

Secretary of homeland security. what do you think about him? what can you tell our viewers? >> both mattis and kelly are incredibly qualified. i saw john kelly up close in miami. this is a tested, proven leader with energy, has served this country, has sacrificed for this country his entire life, lost a son in iraq, is a true marine. he is experienced, hes a leader. hes exactly what you want in charge of dhs. ky tell you, i feel safer knowing that john kelly is the guy thats going to be hiding o...

Loyalist style would be when it comes to that kind of thing. so i think perhaps thats what hes thinking. but hes a guy who is unpredictable, who is not idealogical, who doesnt have a record in government, and he makes these decisions i think a bit on the fly as hes having to throughout transition, and can be swayed often by a close associate who has a different opinion, as you saw with mattis on the waterboarding issue. >> kirsten, based on what we have seen with these picks and based on what yo...
