We have a busy day. Ill see you later on today. Sounds good. We will have lots to discuss. Thanks, hallie. Good morning. Im ali velshi. Live in washington. Stephanie ruhle is off. Its friday, march 23rd. Lets get started. John bolton in. H. R. Mcmaster out. My view is the same as the president s, which he described as the worst deal in american diplomatic history. Didnt really expect that announcement this afternoon. The president building Aggressive National security team. The president is assembling a war cabinet. I see troubled waters ahead. Bolton may have a fuzzy mustache, but he has sharp elbows. From the center fold to center stage. A former playboy model opening up for the first time about the tenmonth affair she claims she had with donald trump. Were you attracted to him . I was attracted to him, yeah. The sex was consensual. It was, yes. After we had been intimate, he tried to pay me. I actually did not know how to take that. Did he try to hand you money . He did. If Melania Trump is watching this, what would you want her to know . Its a tough one. Or say to her. Yeah. What can you say, except, im sorry. Im sorry. I wouldnt want it done to me. Im sorry. What started as another School Shooting tragedy sparked a movement. We call b. S. as many as 500,000 teenagers preparing to march against gun violence in washington, d. C. The message is . This wont happen ever again. Well be the last one. The march is the beginning until we get politicians to do what we want and do whats right. This morning, we begin here in washington, where friday s often mean a staff shakeup at the white house. Former u. S. Ambassador and one of the architects of the iraq war, john bolton, the man on the left, replaces Lieutenant General h. R. Mcmaster on the right as President Trumps third National Security adviser since taking office. Boltons job will be to manage information coming to the president s desk from the state department, the pentagon and the intelligence community, and make recommendations. This is one of the most important jobs in government. Thanks to his multiple media appearances, we have a pretty good picture of where he stands on several key Foreign Policy issues. When word of talks between north and south korea came out, something the president has tried to take credit for, bolton kept an adversarial stance. I think these talks represent no chance for a breakthrough. I think the entire purpose the north koreans had in mind was a propaganda campaign. Bolton will now be advising the president , leading up to a potential meeting with kim jongun. And a key Sticking Point reported between trump and his now former National Security adviser and secretary of state was the iran nuclear deal. Bolton discussed his thoughts the last time the president was required to certify irans compliance with the deal. I dont know what he will do. Im not going to be in this meeting this afternoon, but what i would recommend to him, if i were there, is to get out of the deal completely. It was never in americas strategic interest. It was always intended to benefit iran. It has substantially. This time, he will be in the room. Bolton has connected the two countries as joint antagonists of u. S. Interests. I, frankly, dont think you can divorce north korea from iran. I think cooperation between iran and north korea historically on Ballistic Missiles and almost certainly on the nuclear side puts them together. Now, if that link between iran and north korea sounds familiar, heres a bit of president george w. Bushs 2002 state of the union. North korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. Iran aggressively pursues the weapons and exports terror. Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward america and to support terror. States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world, by seeking weapons of mass destruction. These regimes pose a grave and growing damage. Weapons of mass destruction. Its now become part of our lexicon. Joining me is nbc news political reporter vivian, who has followed these stories closely. Bolton was part of the discussion of iraq having weapons of mass destruction. Talk about what he said back then. We are confident Saddam Hussein has hidden weapons of mass destruction and production facilities in iraq. We said this back in 2002. This goes to john boltons judgment, right . A lot of people were on that side of things back then. Thats right. John bolton has aggressive views on north korea, on iran, the israel palatine situation. What do you think . He was a proponent of the concept that iran had weapons of mass destruction. Of course, we know they did not. He continued to defend the war after it was discovered there were none. He said at the end of the day, hussein has to be out of power. It was a goal of National Security here in america. Hes never apologized for that war, where a lot of people feel it was a mistake. He is not one of them. Again, like you say, he takes a hawkish stance on a number of key issues like that, iran, north korea. And he comes into this role at a very, very important time. We are one month away from the next deadline to recertify the iran nuclear deal. Right. Theres a lot of indications that President Trump is now trying might actually not decide not to recertify it. He has said that hint a few times. He has said that hint a few times. Now, even folks on the hill are saying it looks like he is going in that direction. He also said he is going to meet kim jongun, the leader of north korea, something that, based on john boltons views, he would not be a fan of that. John bolton said, the way you know north korea is lying is their lips are moving. Absolutely. For more than a decade now, hes been very spectacle about north korea and irans sincerity in terms of disarming. The two are connected in one way, in that, if we are trying to get a deal with north korea, the idea of getting out of the iran deal, many have said, will hurt america because the thinking on the part of whoever is across the table from america is, you didnt stick to that deal. Why would you stick to mine . The bigger picture, ali, is were looking at this issue where all our partners around the world, whether or not theyre allies, will look to america and say, can i get a deal with the u. S. , negotiate anything with them . We saw it with the issue of jerusalem. The palestinians and israelis coming together, and the president recognized jerusalem t the capital of israel. Bolton has never believed the sincerity of the palestinians. I think itll influence the president s decisions moving forward. North korea and others will say, whats the point . There are a lot of people today very worried about what americas role in the world is going to be. Vivian, this is just the tip of the iceberg of all you know about john bolton. Youll be on tv all day talking about it. See you again at 3 00 p. M. Thanks. Mcmasters exit is the latest highprofile exit. Including the communications director, the body man, the economic adviser, secretary of state, trumps lead outside lawyer and now his National Security adviser. If there is one tweet in the morning that turns washington on its head, today, itd be this one. Hours after congress pulled a latenighter to pass the omnibus spending bill, the president tweeted this. I am considering a veto of the omnibus spending bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus Daca Recipients have been totally abandoned by the democrats, not even mentioned in the bill, and the border wall, which is desperately needed for our National Defense is not fully funded. This vote came at almost 1 00 in the morning eastern time. Most people had gone to bed. They wake up to a message from the president saying he might veto the whole thing. It is a message the president s own team didnt appear to see coming. Nbcs geoff bennet t is at the white house. Was there any warning that a threat of veto might be coming . Reporter no, ali, there wasnt. Ill say, this is the kind of thing that drives republicans on both sides of pennsylvania avenue nuts. This government funding measure had been carefully negotiated for weeks. All of this work potentially upended by a tweet. Just yesterday, senior white house aides were reassuring us and other white house reporters that the president would sign the bill. Budget director Mick Mulvaney said the bill reflected and funded the president s priorities. You have mark short, the director of legislative affairs, saying the 1. 6 billion included in the omnibus was enough to fund the wall, since it really only funded the next six months of the government. Kellyanne conway said just this morning, two hours ago, conway said the president would sign the bill, said there would be no government shutdown. Take a listen to a bit more of what conway had to say, speaking in glowing terms about this omnibus spending measure. Youre in power. You control both powers of control in the white house. It is all on you, my friend. Thats why we have funding for the wall, for the military, for school safety, for opioids, for so many of the president s pryor tioritie priorities, christopher. This town was mocking the wall years ago, and now theyre funding it. President trump has been dragging his feet in supporting this. Paul ryan made an impromptu visit to the white house earlier this year. Yesterday, paul ryan himself said President Trump would support the bill. Take a look. Oh, yeah. The president supports this bill. No two ways about it. Big bills is what i do with the president , walk him through the contours and the complexities of the legislation we pass. Yes, he supports the bill. No two ways about it. Reporter it appears President Trump is trying to highlight his reluctance to signing the bill, given the pushback from conserve tiatives cast it as wasteful spending. Republicans including bob corker from tennessee who tweeted this, please, do, mr. President. Im down the street and will bring you a pen. The spending levels without offsets are grotesque, throwing our children under the bus. Totally irresponsible. A white house official emphasizes the president only said he is considering a veto. We can expect Sarah Huckabee sanders, White House Press secretary, to potentially use that as an escape house when she explains this to reporters this afternoon. Thanks. Well stay close to you throughout the day as this develops. Geoff bennett at the white house. Joe biden is here in washington, d. C. Right now to meet with parkland students ahead of the march for our lives rally. He says he is confident there will be change when it comes to the nations gun laws. It is because of the students rising up and demanding action. Nbc caught up with mr. Biden in the last hour.

That is coming up in a few minutes. Coming up next, former playboy model is speaking out about her alleged affair with donald trump. Well have highlights from interviews with Karen Mcdougal and her attorney. After we had been intimate, he tried to pay me. I actually didnt know how to take that. Did he try to hand you money .

Two women who say they are tired of being muzzled are breaking their silence about alleged past affairs with donald trump. Former porn star Stormy Daniels tells her side of the story in a fulllength interview set to air on 60 minutes. This as her legal team fights to have a secrecy agreement nullified. Daniels lawyer tweeted this cryptic photo of a disk, captioned, if a picture is worth 1,000 words, how many words is this worth . Ive been staring at that picture, trying to figure out what it means. The white house denied all claims of affairs, including allegations from former playboy model, Karen Mcdougal, who is speaking out. Both women say they were silenced by back, paid out by trump loyalists. Mcdougle is suing the inquirer Parent Company to reclaim rights to her story, which she said the paper squashed to protect the president. Despite the contract, mcdougle told cnn in detail how their reportedly tenmonth affair unfolded, starting with night one. I was attracted to him, yeah. Hes a nice looking man and, you know, i liked his charisma. I love, you know, good, great posture. He has great posture. Hes nice. So, the sex was consensual . It was, yes. What happened after you had been intimate . Well, after we had been intimate, he tried to pay me. I actually didnt know how to take that. Did he try to hand you money . He did. He did. I said, i mean, i had this look of, i dont know, just i dont even know how to describe it. The look on my face must have been so sad because id never been offered money like that, number one. Number two, i thought, does he think im in this for money or why im here tonight, or is this a normal thing . I looked at him and said, thats not me. Im not that girl. He said, oh, youre really special. What everyone sees on tv, i dont see in that man. That man was sweet, respectful, loving, kind and caring. Thats the man i saw. He was very charming in person. Very charming. Very sweet. His personality to me was, wow, i loved it. Did he ask you to hide it . No, he didnt. Never, actually. Any furthnever a conversatio never. Once, he asked, does your sister know . I said, yeah. He said, awe. Wasnt afraid to hide it. Were you in love with him . I was, yeah. Do you think he was in love with you . He was, yeah. Did donald trump say to you that he loved you . All the time. Always told me he loved me. Oo im n im not a liar. Im perceived as all these bad names. I did what i did. Im not proud of it. I feel terrible about it. Im a new woman, a new creation, and im standing up for myself. So this is a picture with ivanka trump, Melania Trump, several of your colleagues and yourself . Correct. Did was that the first time you met melania . It is. Honestly, if you can tell, i tried to keep my distance. I tried to go as far away as i could, just because i felt guilty. Did he ever compare you to any of his kids . Hes very proud of ivanka, as he should be. I mean, shes a brilliant woman. Shes beautiful. Shes, you know, thats his daughter and he should be proud of her. He said i was beautiful like her and, you know, youre a smart girl. There wasnt a lot of comparing, but there was some, yeah. I heard a lot about her. If Melania Trump is watching this, what would you want her to know . Its a tough one. Or say to her. Yeah. What can you say, except im sorry . Im sorry. I wouldnt want it done to me. Im sorry. Now, mcdougle says shes not trying to damage the president s political image. She says she sincerely cared for him and even voted for him. The explayboy playmate said she only ended their affair because of the guilt of being with a married man. Next, ill speak with two students who survived the shooting at their Maryland High School this week. Youre seeing a walkout of students in dallas, texas.
