Storm, after criticizing harry Morning Program the president tweeted, how come owi. Q. Crazy mika along with psycho joe came to maralago around new years eve and wanted to join me, bleedingfacelift. I said no. He did it while sitting in the white house added to the swit repudiation, including from fellow republicans. Kansas republican congresswoman lynn jenkins tweeted back at the president , this is not okay. As a female in politics im often criticized for my lookss we should be working to empower women. Please, just stop, was the twitter plea of nebraska senator ben sass. This isnt normal and beneath the dignity of your office. This, from South Carolina republican senator lindsey graham. Your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with american politics, not the greatness of america. With us to share their reporting and insights, jackie ckucinich and cnns Phil Mattingly. I think i know the answer that, this is who he is, but, why . And wouldnt the president s obsession with women and blood, at least it wasnt about her, whatever, but its just it isnt even just about women. Itsbout decency and fitness for office. Even in a private setting, equally shocking. But tweeted out by the president of the United States in a public for um is outrageous. No question about that, and it seems to indicate this, and a lot of his tweets this week, there is a kind of personal grievance he is fixated on that has overwhelmed Everything Else going on in the world. You are the president of the United States. Youve got health care cooking. North korea. You have syria and yet this is what is on his a Signature Campaign item. The immigration issue before the house of representatives. For all the talk about no signature achievements, hasnt signed health day, a day he could be talking up about getting things done or moving things along. We know he doesnt like the media, uses us to play to his base. If he said psycho, low i. Q. , childish, third grade. This network made a mistake this week and he bounced on us. Fair game. But its the issue why attack a womans appearance . Say liberal news media, whatever, thats part of his political strategy, but what is it about this president that goes to him attacking a womans appearance . He has never changed. Host of the apprentice, the same person in hollywood quite a wail before being president. He everyone inner adapted to the gravitas that is necessary for this office, and right now were seeing it sort of being torn down by him publicly tweeting these things, and and, you know, continuing to be very disrespectful to women. And its not acceptable. And i was most shocked, frankly, by the first ladys offices response to this, which was basically, im paraphasing, he punches back harder. You know what . He should be better than this. Exactly what it was, thes hadtry of mr. Trump. As the first lady stated publicly in the past when the her husband gets attacked he will punch back ten times harder. No problem, wants to counterpunch, his right. Say, low ratings, famed new york times, your liberals, biased, challenge the facts. Actually challenge the facts what is said about him. All fair game. We can debate whether its smart political strategy. Fair game. The idea, melania trump, went to suburban philadelphia in the campaign, said her platform would be against cyberbullying. This is sexist cyberbullying from the president. You have to stop yourself. From the president of the United States. Yeah. I mean, the silence from ivanka trump, who a week ago said she was so shocked by how personal and mean politics have become. She has tweeted, right . She has twitter. Talking last week how surprisingly vicious this town is. Right. Amazing. And there is no real justification for it, and Sarah Huckabee sanders also issued a comment that basically suggested that whatever was going on, or being talked about on morning joe, by the way, is a news program, was had justified an attack on Mika Brzezinskis looks. She said, interrupt you, Sarah Huckabee said, necessary to push back against unnecessary attacks on the president. Ive seen for worst things come out of that show. Whatever they did, whatever they did, or whoever he doesnt like, whether again, a very important distinction. The president s political strategy, beat up the media. Fine. Sometimes it works and certainly plays to his base. Beat up the media, say what you want, again, challenge the facts whats said on television. Challenge the priorities of whats said on television. Want to go to the liberal bias card, but why attack a woman based on her appearance . And past president s used their aides to get out a message in their defense most of the time. You didnt see other president s in the past doing this. I mean, and hes not only doing it himself, but hes doing it in such a vile way. Its frankly just unpresident ial. And i want to get to thetry in this. And phil, spending time on capitol hill. Can they pull a rabbit out of the house, pass health care, and come back in the fall, tax reform . All big, hard things to do. Al allrepublican government. The speaker trying to talk about House Republicans keeping promises, passing agendas and gets asked about the president s tweets. Obviously, i dont see that as an appropriate comment. What were trying to do around here is improve the tone the civility of the debate and this obviously doesnt help do that. One would think, trying to improve the tone and civility of debates having the president of the United States, biggest platform in the world, to use, to set a tone, would help, but does it affect were having this conversation, trump voters out there saying, there they go again talking about the fre president. Sorry if youre a trump voter, sit down with your daughter and see if you can say those things to your daughter, but does it affect getting things done . It does. Look, people are, on capitol hill, ive heard a lot of unsolicited Text Messages after this tweet came out with out of profanity in them. Its frustration. Exhaustion. And its just kind of a, throwing your hands up type of a moment here. Look, they dont expect the president to be in the weeds on health care. Not holding a town hall speaking for 120 minutes on highrisk pools and why theyre necessary or why they matter or how they should be structured, but if he could focus just on health care and on selling the bill, thats where they want him. They know his social media presence, his ability to get a message out. Focus on one issue is helpful to a complicated, complex process with rating level in the low double digits right now. Perhaps more importantly, immigration. What theyre doing on the floor today, two of his Biggest Campaign promises. Things extraordinarily important to the republican base. Extraordinarily important to constituents in a lot of the republican members districts. This is something they think they won on. Theyre going to have a victory lap press conference with the dhs secretary and thats what they get asked about. You could hear the exasperation in the speakers voice. I hear this all the time on capitol hill. You guys arent covering real policy and dont care about the real issues. Youre a mess. Every reporter probably hears the same thing from several aides. My response, point to the tweet today. Talk to the guy in the oval office and as all of us are running around desperately getting details on the health care bill, tell the guy in the oval office to also focus on the health care bill. The reflection look, i had to do this, rip up the show planned to do. About immigration, about health care. Well get to those. Its important to the american people, but this isnt a guy in a bar. Boring sexist in a bar making an ass of himself. Important why members of capitol hill say we cant get our stuff done, back to why. He said mika had a facelift, had blood. Liked to use blood when attacking women. Mika brzezinski, megyn kelly then u. Could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever, but she was, in my opinion, she was off base. Again, that was during the campaign. You might say the president was mad about one debate, but remember, the access hollywood tapes, this is who he is. You know, im quite automatically attracted to beautiful i start kissing them. Like a magnet [ laughter ] when youre a star, they let you do it. Whatever you want. Whatever you want . Grab them by the [ bleep ]. You can do anything. We were told before we come on the air, you see these, get shocked then say why be shocked given the history . I dont know if shocked is the right word, but hes the president of the United States. You cant just say, oh, forget about it. Its trump being trump. Right. Well, and you know, this also comes in the same week in which a video went viral of his ca calling over an attractive irish reporter to the resolute desk and talking to the leader in ireland saying what a pretty smile she had. She must treat him nicely. You know, that went by earlier and i didnt get too upset about it. Its part of a pattern and i think, like this tweet is not going to be the be all and end all. Not mean hes not able to get the extra republican votes needed on the health care bill, but it has an impact. Tells you he is not changing and does Susan Collins or Shelley Moore capito, those senators want to hitch their wagon to this president when continue stantly being thrown on the defense . Susan collins responded in ap tweet saying, something to the effect, we all dont have to like each other. The media and politicians. But we need to be civil. Right. So that, for that reason, it does make it harder. Now, if she loves the health care bim, will she vote for it . Of course she is. Does this make it harder for the president to reach out to her . Yes. And makes it harder when she goes home and going to come around being against the health care to for it, explain to voters back home and has events back home, guess what shell be asked about . This has to stop, her tweet. We all have a job. Dont have to get along but must show respect and civility. Well take a break and actually talk about agenda items, yes. Parts of the trump travel ban take effect tonight and the house about to debate a big trump immigration proposition. Promise. baby crying fly me to the moon elegant music and let me play bell rings when heartburn hits fight back fast with new tums chewy bites. Fast relief in every bite. Crunchy outside.

Kates law, no sanctuary for cram naturcriminals helping mak communities for safe. President trump has been clear our borders are not open to illegal immigration, we are a nation of laws and will no longer look the other way. Thats secretary mullens, john kelly, and voting on two key immigration items talked about in the campaign. Kates law, from san francisco, allowing courts to put tougher prison sentences on immigrants who repeatedly cross into the United States illegally and are caught. Either just get caught or caught committing offenses. Allow judges to keep them in jail longer. Sanctuary city law allowing the federal government deny funding and crackdowns on cities that dont cooperate with federal enforcement. A day the president should be doing handstands as key Campaign Pieces of the agenda making it through the house. They voted on kates law last year. A couple democrats came over and supported that. Thats a bipartisan victory for House Republican leaders. Another thing you think theyd want to tout, but there are a lot of problems from outside groups particularly on the liberal side of things on cases, the aclu about the direction of these bills. The track they take. So will this actually move forward in the senate . Able to get 60 . They neat 8 democrats to come over. Unlikely. Probably get 3 or 4. Goes bakz back to what we talked ak. Youre getting stuff done in one chamber of coof congress, thing touted on the whiteboard, want to cross off, are doing that now. This should be something to focus on a. Boost out of the house putting pressure on the trump state democrats, socalled. Democrats up next year from states to campaign. If you get enough democrats in the house, not saying a large number. A few. Then talk about this bipartisan vote and a big push in the senate. If the president talked about it, adds pressure. And republicans, too. Isnt a lock in the senate because of the criminal justice reform. True. People former and they think the bill will lead to more mass incarceration. Thats also. Again, talking about policy. Talking about legislative strategy. Which is what you think the white house would want to be talking about. A fight they want to v. Exactly. Something they are more than willing to go to the mat to fight. And a fight which in most of the country especially red america, hes had solid ground. No question. This is actually, i think, a potentially Good Opportunity for trump to actually wield some political influence to sell his agenda to people in the middle, maybe to moderates who i think actually kates law is something i think democrats will actually have a hard time voting against. Many of them. But you dont actually see the president doing that. Hes never really going out there and pushing specifics of legislation and actually making it difficult for people to vote against something that is easily explained. That from their perspective is easily explained. So, you know, its a missed opportunity here. Yesterday they also had a briefing on this at the white house that was offcamera, because they insisted on having an offcamera briefing yet again this week. Theyre really fumbling the ball here on some pretty, you know, straightforward efforts, political efforts, that they could get wins on. To help their loss. The president had roundtables whey he calls the victims of illegal immigrants, but talking about kates law. Kate steinles parents and brother asked that her death not be politicized, and seems like they could have honored that. A different way to do it, maybe. The democratic side, house hispanic caucus came up early this morning. Dont like the merits, a. , and b. , suggest republicans are moving it now to show progress because they have failed elsewhere. They have health care, famed to do tax reform. They failed to work on any substantive or significant measure of legislation. Instead of doing that, because they cant do it, they instead look to pit people against each other. This is one of those classic issues, if i had the map i would show it. You look at especially the house. All the red house districts. The blue house districts on the coast, and in this congressmans case, areas of texas. One of those areas in the blue parts of the country they say, how dare you cut off federal funding to sanctuary city . The red part, why didnt it happen ten years ago . I do think there is the sanctuary cities issue is, i think, more nuance than people make it out to be. When you explain it, when pollsters ask people about sanctuary cities and explain the Broad Strokes of it, there are a lot of people who identify as democrats and a lot of independents who say, well, maybe thats not the tway should be. So its a hard issue, and one that i think, you know democrats are framing it, you heard in that clip, as pitting people against each other. Which is a different way of opposing that law than saying this is not something that should happen. So i think democrats have a sort of p. R. Message they want to put out about this bill, and frankly, republicans are making it very easy for them to do that, and i think if they really had a full discussion about this, they may have a better shot of convicting some of these moderates. Especially in those trump districts that they might have to take a second look at a bill like that. Smart, coherent political conversation about policy. Tonight will be a big test. Starting a test. Big test for kelly, the revised travel ban goes into effect tonight. Parts of it Supreme Court allowed. A United States citizen or legal permanent resident, green card holder, current visa holder, allowed in. The ban guidelines, prove trying to get into the country you have a bona fide relationship. The tweSupreme Court said. Aunts and uncles, grandparents, not covered pap questi edcovere. A question the way they rolled it out. Blocked by courts. Now a chance to implement this and well see, do we expect protests . Expect debate . I think you can expect protests. Because there are aclu and other groups that are going to make political hay of this. Whether theres going to be the mass confusion at the airports we saw when this first went through, that were not hearing thats going to be an issue like it was. The challenges for the department to decide. I think deciding a bona fide relationship thing will be the interesting particularly refugee groups. Sit tight. Up next, is the Senate Health care bill back on track . Well, depends who you ask. Saturdays used to be for college football. Now you drive 300 miles to watch this. Dont get me wrong.
