Congratulate her. rick, the president was extremely excited today in ohio when he talked about the big ratings numbers the "roseanne" revival got. lets listen. >> look at "roseanne," i called her yesterday. i got a call from mark burnett, he did the apprentice, great guy. he said, donald i called to say hello, and said did you see "roseannes" ratings? i said how big were they? unbelievable. over 18 million people and it was about us. so is president trump right this show did so well because of...

Its very clear that official after official after official when they go on television, they know they have an audience of one. they know that the president of the united states is watching and that hes willing to put public pressure on his agencies in order to push them not to be independent. and that particularly in these circumstances should be worrisome to anybody who cares about the institutions of this democracy. >> steve, can i ask you about -- i want to ask about the interview we just did...

Learned he was fired following a tweet from the president that came hours after returning from an overseas trip. we are back with the "hardball" roundtable and emily, everybody remembers the boardroom scene at the end of every episode of "the apprentice." he walks in, stares straight across the table at that weeks victim and says youre fired. when it comes to his own administration, folks arent hearing this from him. >> its not even that he cant fire them to their faces, he cant in a phone call....

To congratulate her on the shows revival. heres what she said about that this morning. >> we just kind of had a private conversation but you know, we talked about a lot of things. and you know, hes just happy for me. ive known him for many years. hes done a lot of nice things for me over the years. and so it was just a friendly conversation about work and you know, television and ratings. >> he does focus a lot onraitings. >> he really understands ratings and how they measure things. and thats k...

Bit from column b. the president is always casting a reality show. its not "the apprentice," its "survivor." he values what, fortunes and loyalty and stars on the shoulder and people who are good on tv. thats how he casts his show. i also think for the first year of his job as president, he was untrusted by people in the establishment people put around him, people experienced in the ways of washington not always synced with him on policy. is he basically pushing most of those people out. he is t...

Same time, michael cohen was signing or getting a letter of intent to try and brand a trump tower moscow. and that deal fell through. never happened, but was going on during the campaign. and i think that he was doing it, clearly, at the behest of the trump organization, which probably didnt think donald trump was going to win. and wanted to continue its business and could really capitalize on the fact that donald trump was now a lot more well known and popular, even than he had been during "the...

Doesnt make it a contract. a lot of lawyers will debate that, even in california where he will try to debate that. and summer zervos was one of the apprentice candidates, people on the show. she said she was harassed. however, there is a material difference. shes not part of an nda. there is no arbitration clause there. she didnt contract to settle a dispute in any certain way. in that case, the judge pointed out the paula jones precedent where bill clinton was forced to deal with the litigation...

Than he had been during "the apprentice." and so what cohen has always done is whatever donald trump wants. >> ahh. so, david, all this really shows just how unique this president is. michael cohen didnt come to the west wing with the president, but the president is still financially tied to his private companies and still tied to his fixer at the trump organization. >> it certainly appears that way. and glorias reporting has been very, very helpful on this question. and its worth remembering th...

Same age as his daughter and shes talking about his daughter and she feels like i have to have sex with this guy. >> to your point, hes almost turning it into almost barter. hes dangling an appearance on the apprentice, so it comes to feel like paid sex. >> first of all, if she decided to do it to get on "the apprentice," that was her decision if thats the way she want the to go. she said to her credit it was consensual. she never felt pressured to do it. she felt this was an adult she wanted to...
