"the apprentice". >> i dont know if you would go very far. >> wow. when you watched the performance, as the president just called it, did it remind you of your time on "the apprentice". >> yes and no. trump sat like this. he never did that with us. body language was much different. i also felt this meeting was live. he had to be more careful on how he spoke and reacted. the third thing, these congressman they werent scared. they werent vying for a job. they werent going to be fired on tv. so we ...

>> i think at the same time he -- we are seeing these tactics apply to politics in ways they dont work in reality tv. its one thing, as you said on the apprentice, he can have a retake. it was partially scripted. its different now. >> i want to get your impressions of what he was like during "the apprentice". we have some of the role of you actually being fired. >> i have to see it again? >> you can do it. >> lets do it. >> lets watch it. >> you want to be president of one of my companies? >> li...

Or worse. this is a culmination of 50 years of television in america. we have a reality show president. the way he communicates, the way he talks, were almost a year in and learning how it works. >> one of the things he was praised for was transparency. thats one of the things that the media and voteers seem to like. brian stelter, heidi, thank you very much for reliving your day on "the apprentice" with us. >> my pleasure. >> chris? >> what were you writing then? you put it in the page on ons t...

President trump praising himself for that televised meeting with lawmakers this week, very reminiscent of his time as a reality tv star. >> welcome back to the studio. yesterday we had a bipartisan meeting with house members and senators on immigration reform, something we have been talking about for many, many years. but we brought them together in this room. and it was a tremendous meeting. actually, it was reported as incredibly good. and my performance, some of them called it a performance. ...

In the big picture, i fear this. that as reasonable as democrats and republicans looked yesterday, there is going to be pressure for democrats never to allow that to happen again because it looked as if there was something getting done. do you worry about that too? >> they looked like contestants on the apprentice. he looked in complete control. again, you have to judge him by his results. in the first year of his presidency it was all about results. that meeting yesterday, he came out of it in ...

Really tell them off and that will make its base very happy. >> does he tell people off to their face? >> who knows what he says but your question presupposed hed act like somebody -- a normal person would, which is to try to find some common ground. something that we can all talk about and make some progress. and thats not how he operates. so hell say whatever is on his mind. make america great again. >> theres this disinence with donald trump. there always has been. the blue collar champion in...

Buddy. >> he can only do that once, i think. >> when he talks about the billions and billions of dollars that he has made, look at the empire that shes built, all on her own. and she was born into poverty. she didnt have parents giving her a million dollar loan or chipping in here and there and things like that. he talks about the success of "the apprentice" that was on air for nearly 12 years. look at her show, on the air for 25 years. and popular in a way that "the apprentice" never, ever was....

Heres some evidence. first, trump didnt launch his campaign by donating a big amount of money. he began, basically, from the start with a self-proclaimed billionaire making a loan, cwhih i reported at the time. and while a primary campaign can run over $130 million, he didnt put in 25% or even 5% of that. he began with less than 1%, under $800,000. he wouldnt hire campaign professionals. of course, its one thing to say, fine, you want people outside the beltway. its another to say you want the m...

Trump. he has a decades-long history of fighting with people and making up. omarosa was fired from "the apprentice" on three occasions and then ended up working in the white house, then she was escorted off the white house grounds. >> exactly. >> so ill never say the president is never going to make up with someone, but the question is what does steve bannon have to offer the president at this point? whats been demonstrated here is steve bannon has no constituency of his own. he doesnt really ha...

Early morning tweets meant to bolster his image as an intellect. writing, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. and concluding with a reminder that he is, in fact, a very stable genius. joining me now, congressman charlie dent of pennsylvania. congressman, with a happy new year and a good morning to you, sir, does this not concern you at all? these tweets and the presidents obsession with where he went to college, the ratings he got on "the apprentice" ...
