We would love to see more of those state department vis nits washington, d.c. i think its smart he does business in washington, d.c. >> should he be the first one to bring his company back and manufacture his products here? >> i do think we node to bring manufacturing back to the united states. i would love to see that. maybe he puts his money where his mouth is and brings some of those jobs here. so whether its manufacturing or otherwise, it would be nice to see that investment in american jobs...

Stand by idly of the moral atrocities happening. for me, it was a bold, diseaeci action. it sends a message, chris, this is like the air traffic controller message where ronald reagan said listen, dont do this stuff. if you do it, ill fire you. this message is resonating globally. i think president assad hears the message. i think the russians response to this thing. they knew the united states was pinned in here and had to do something particularly after what happened in 2013. so my guess is th...

Officials and their conversation. >> its not your job -- >> they may have picked up some trump campaign conversations. so i think the white house is taking the wrong approach. its inconsistent with matts own statement that we have a very serious, one of the most serious attacks on our country in decades. the white house should respect that and not do a coverup with mr. nunes. its shameful. >> go ahead, matt. i want to hear from you before we go. >> a couple of points here. first of all, if you r...

Republican administration. he might serve as a check on, you know, a strong executive power, which could be very important for democrats. >> and conservatives are hoping. its the opposite that he is a former clerk to anthony kennedy, who is the swing vote on the court, and you have the more conservative guy, who is very close to justice kennedy. maybe he pulls him the other way in the decisions. lets unpack what we heard from the president at the top of the show. he talked about he wanted a dign...

And hes going to be on this morning. the most transparent transition gets a lot of mocking from the media because today they were supposed to have a conference. these conflicts have to be exposed in light of what are the business realities? we just dont know. >> they havent been really transparent. he still hasnt released his tax returns. llcs that are little opaque entities where he houses debt and income and we dont know the full extent of those. hes about to set off on a $1 trillion infrastru...

Gotten to a point with the trump family where theyre fairly flagrant about it. he was going to have a press conference to disclose the plan on where they were going to find the bright line that divided the trump financial interest from quality policymaking. ivanka is now moving into the white house where she said probably only a month ago she would play no role in the administration. i think trump has signaled that hes not going to do anything concrete to settle these issues and theyre going to ...
