or prove he s been putting out false information about his predecessor. how is the white house preparing? reporter: hi, ana. they seem to be preparing by standing ground, not backing down from the president s allegations made two weeks ago. we heard the president himself do so just yesterday at that press conference with germany s chancellor angela merkel and in an interview last week. shown sho white house press secretary sean spicer has said that the president is confident evidenced will come out that will vindicate him. but spicer also claimed that the british intelligence service helped president obama spy on ten-candidate trump in trump tower. that claim has been denied vehemently by the british, also by a top u.s. national security official. and so, but the white house doesn t seem to be showing any outward concern about what the fbi director and set to say on monday. and as you noted, he is expected really tough position, trying to substantiate this tweet. there doesn t seem to be any evidence that backs this up. this week the white house seemed to task house intelligence chairman devin nunes with putting this claim to rest. they had nunes come out. he said that there was no evidence to back this up. they kept referring reporters to the house and senate intelligence committees when asked of evidence of these claims. then when you look at how president trump himself has referred to the wiretapping claims in the weeks since he s made them, he s sort of tried to move the goalpost as to what counts as wiretapping. it s no longer what we would think of in the traditional sense of communications, but now the white house is indicating maybe if there s evidence of incidental collection they would consider that as a substantiation of president trump s claims. that s not necessarily going to get him out of this trouble politically, though, because in the traditional sense that s not what wiretapping means. to investigate how this got out there. he wants to know who leaked this information. so, you know, putting the wiretap thing to bed, laying that to rest, is kind of the first step in this process. it s fascinating that the president doesn t seem to want to let this go, again, bringing it up yesterday with angela merkel. but that is going to be all the congressional investigators, bipartisan, are ready to be done with this. that s going to be the first step on monday. and this hearing was supposed to be more about the broader russian investigation or looking into russia s involvement in the election. and then this wiretapping claim happened, and the rest is history, so to speak. tim, you wrote an op-ed for cnn, spin for the sake of presidential reputation is a normal part of political life. but there is spin and there is spreading poison. even richard nixon, who you describe as the most conspiracy minded president, would be taken aback by what s going on today in terms of this wiretapping claim. explain further what you mean. a couple of things. on monday we will get evidence, i suspect, that donald trump tweeted without actually any evidence whatsoever and alleged that his predecessor wiretapped him. this means that we have a president now who is willing to go public with allegations without any information from his intelligence community. that s really bad. and that raises is there any precedent of other presidents doing something similar? we could spend a whole night talking about times where presidents have lied to the american people. the reason we had a credibility vap during vietnam was that lbj, lyndon johnson, didn t tell the truth about how the war was going. so this is nothing new. it s still bad. it s not something you want to see. what makes this really bad is whether he is a republican or a democrat. what this white house is doing is rather than owning up to the fact that the president tweeted without any evidence, they re trying to cast blame. and not only are they blaming the intelligence community. they re blaming our allies, the british. right. that s completely irresponsible. there is a time, it s two months into this administration, this is the time for the president, donald trump, to be serious about the u.s. intelligence community, to take its information seriously, not to trust it always, but to take it seriously and to show the respect for it that every previous president since we developed a modern intelligence community under franklin roosevelt, every previous one showed that respect. it s time for donald trump to do it. he can t be playing these political games and think that this country looks good. we look very foolish as a nation when he is chasing phantoms as he has been. do you think that this has an impact on the u.s. s reputation, especially with our allies? as tim brought up, the president and the administration, sean spicer on behalf of the president, dragged britain, perhaps our greatest ally, into this wiretapping scandal. certainly i think that there is a certain amount of built into the expectations of our allies when they re dealing with president trump. they do know that they re not dealing with president obama, they re not dealing with someone who is as cool headed and as measured as the former president. and so their expectations have been recalibrated. that being said, this isn t necessarily good for diplomacy. it doesn t help to have president trump and rex tillerson or nikki haley or anyone else from his cabinet having sort of inconsistent messages at any given time. it should help that the entire cabinet should be on the same page when they re dealing with our allies. so obviously president trump and the white house, it s in their best interest to put this wiretapping situation to bed. tom is absolutely right, the best thing for the white house and what they want right now is just to move on to the situation. as to why they keep referring reporters and anyone with a question to the house and senate intelligence committee, that s why they want to pick a fight with anyone who asks them about these wiretapping tweets in the briefing room. they just want the story to end. because they haven t been able to provide a back story for those tweets, it s not going anywhere. sarah, tom, thanks to all of you. live in the cnn newsroom, secretary of state rex tillerson about to have a crucial meeting with the chinese president. breaking news just in, north korea s leader kim jong un has reportedly ordered and overseen a military test just as the u.s. and chinese leaders were about to sit down and discuss north korea s heightened rhetoric. we ll go live for the latest on this breaking story when we come back. a modern way to pay. it s sold out. don t fret, my friend. i masterpassed it! and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don t stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don t take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily .and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. announcer: this is cnn breaking news. breaking news right now from overseas from north korea. state-run media there is reporting that the country has carried out a test of a new type of rocket engine that they re calling of historic significance. let s get to cnn national corresponde correspondent matt rivers and cnn correspondent elise labott. [ inaudible ] reporter: this is only coming from north korea state media at this point and we should take all of what they report with a large grain of salt. still, what they are saying there is this is a new high thrust engine that was tested on the ground in north korea as a part of this ongoing ballistic missile program that the north koreans have been actively engaged in. exactly what kind of engine this is, what kind of power this has, what kind of impact on the overall missile development program in north korea. we re still trying to figure that out at this point. this is still coming into the newsroom. it s important to understand the context surrounding all this. north korea has been extremely busy as of late with dozens of ballistic missile tests since the beginning of 2016. and lately they ve made a lot of progress in terms of moving that technology forward. one thing we ve seen recently is how they ve changed the way their rockets are fueled. they went from rockets that are liquid-fueled rockets to rockets that are fueled by a solid state fuel. that means you can launch the rocket much faster. that presented a significant step forward. the north koreans are taking steps towards developing an intercontinental ballistic missile that they could test at some point. is this new high thrust engine, as the north korea state media is calling it right now, does that have to do with their development of a potential icbm? we re not sure yet. it s adding to what we ve seen out of north korea recently, which is a continued development, a continued push to develop that ballistic missile test. and the ballistic missile program that they have up there in the face of all these u.n. sanctions, all this tough talk from the united states and china. it does appear that the north koreans are moving ahead and moving ahead at quite a clip. elise, it does seem like there s been quite a lot happening when it comes to aggressive military action. reporter: that s right, ana. and as matt said, in addition to these intermediate and medium range missile tests, my colleague, pentagon colleague barbara starr, put out some reporting just yesterday that there have been signs that u.s. intelligence has been looking at that the north koreans were getting ready to test some kind of engine. there s been a lot of activity at some of their sites. they ve been trying to mask it, to confuse everybody, but there s been a lot of activity that led them to believe that there would be some kind of engine missile test. as we know, as matt said, the north koreans have been working on this intercontinental ballistic missile. they re medium range technology in terms of those missiles, they continue to perfect that. and so there is a concern that this is moving them, inching them closer to some kind of engine and all the equipment for an intercontinental ballistic missile. and to show the u.s. has been watching this closely, you have the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general dunford, putting out a statement the other day, speaking with his south korean counterparts, saying the two discussed changes in the north korean nuclear and missile threat, and talking about possible response actions. so obviously the u.s. has been looking at this very closely. and there is evidence to believe that north korea could be working on another nuclear test. so all of this certainly very concerning to the u.s. president trump came in with a warning from president obama and certainly the trump administration feels this is one of the gravest national security threats facing the u.s. of course the timing of this is also interesting. you remember it was back on february 11th when north korea fired off a ballistic missile test during the visit by the japanese prime minister here to the u.s. right now we have the secretary of state, rex tillerson, visiting china, and we know north korea is on the agenda as part of that discussion. how significant is it that this happens during tillerson s visit there in that region, elise? reporter: i think it s very significant, particularly in light of the messages that secretary tillerson is delivering, that he s very concerned about the imminent north korean threat. the last 20 years of policy, tillerson said, has failed, and the u.s. is looking at new options. he signaled they re going to be a lot tougher. and you know that north korea, just as they did with president trump s meeting with prime minister abe, launching that missile, the north koreans want to get the attention of the u.s. so obviously you have to put it into that context. but it doesn t make the threat, ana, any greater or any less. with every test that north korea makes, whether they re doing it obviously they want to get attention and the love to be provocative. but with every test they make, they grow closer to having the kind of technology that would really be a disaster scenario for the u.s. and for europe, and certainly for south korea and japan. so this is very concerning to the u.s. and not just the fact that he did it with secretary tillerson there. i think that way it actually benefits secretary tillerson when he goes into this meeting with chinese president xi jinping very shortly, to say, look at the threat we re facing, we really have to double down, when president xi comes next month to meet with president trump, and he will be setting the table for that meeting today. it certainly makes the threat much more real. all right, elise labott, matt rivers, thank you so much. recappi recapping, the u.s. getting word that north korea has tested some new technology, they re calling it high thrust engine technology. we re working to gather more details. we ll be right back. about your brokerage fees.tion fees?

cnn s martin savidge went out to find out. reporter: in this part of michigan, breakfast is big. this is a city, this is a town that just about every america knows mainly because of breakfast. kellogg. hi, i m tony the tiger! reporter: battle creek. the city that frosted flakes, froot loops, and grape nuts built. home to kellogg and post. but other parts of battle creek, like many parts of michigan, have seen better days, from jobs shifting out of state to finding affordable health care. he owns the griffin grill. he wanted to find health care for his 30 employees but couldn t afford it. he couldn t afford his own. obamacare took a toll on his premiums. just so we re clear, you didn t have obamacare. it was the impact that obamacare had on your private insurance. yes, absolutely. did you see it right away, these increases? yes, you could see it doubling. reporter: this tax attorney in part owes his living on the impact obamacare has had on his middle income customers. people can t afford insurance. or they can t pay their taxes. they come to my office as a result. reporter: in this part of america, the affordable care act isn t very popular. calhoun county swung away from obama in 2016. it was donald trump s talk of replacing obamacare. was that one of the things that drew you to him? definitely. reporter: he s self-employed and the republican county chair. he too says he struggled to pay his family s thousand dollars a month health insurance premiums. i ended up just deciding i m going to go without. reporter: what do you know of the republican plan put forward so far? i know what s in the headlines. i don t know details. reporter: a lot of trump supporters i talked to admit they really don t know the details of the republican plan to replace obamacare. do they know what the change is going to be? they don t know what the change is. i don t know if they really understand what trump is proposing. frankly i don t either. you know, it s overload, because that s all they re talking about. i turn it on and turn it off. but do you think it will be better? i do. reporter: another recurring theme among trump voters, in their minds anything will be better than obamacare, especially if trump is behind it. i really in my heart feel that trump cares about the american people. and when he says he wants to make america great again, i think he has the best intentions to get people healthy. donald trump has sort of implied, and i know he uses, you know, simplistic language, but it s going to be the best ever, it s going to cost guess, you ll get more, those kinds of things. do you believe that? i think his ability to negotiate and get people from all sides buying into it, i think that they re going to make some improvements. if the president says it s going to be a good plan? i m not sure i m that trusting. but better, less bad, maybe. reporter: martin savidge, cnn, battle creek, michigan. our thanks to martin savage. coming up, twitter-versary. we ll point out some of president trump s most controversial tweets. should i keep the twitter going or not?

a long time. then it s a fortune. well, i m sure you talk to people all the time who think $100k is just pocket change. right now we re just talking to you. i told you we had a fortune. yes, you did. getting closer to your investment goals starts with a conversation. schedule a complimentary goal planning session today. now some of those old postings are coming back to haunt him as critics are alleging he s trafficking in conspiracies. reporter: private citizen trump tweeted that global warming was a hoax by the chinese. despite offering no evidence, the science is clear. according to noaa and nasa, nearly all the 17 hottest years on record have occurred since 2000. after his november 2016 election win, trump conceded a human impact on climate change. coming in at number 7, the disease that killed thousands of people, ebola. in october 2014, trump tweeted, ebola is much easier to transmit than the cdc and government representatives are admitting, spreading all over africa and fast. stop flights. well, ebola did not spread all over africa. all about 15 of the 11,000 ebola-related deaths were confined to three countries in west africa. trump never gave any evidence to back up his accusation that the government was hiding the truth. in march 2014, trump tweeted a debunked health claim, offering, again, no evidence. healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with vaccine, doesn t feel good, autism, many such cases. the cdc says there are no links between vaccines and autism. actually here is what president trump s pick to lead the fda said in 2015. i think for too long a lot of people s public statements allowed these myths to propagate because they said things like, we don t think there s correlation but we need more research. we don t need more research. at some point you have to take no for an answer. from 2012, the economy is in terrible shape. barack obama is manipulating the job numbers to hide the truth. another claim candidate trump repeated without evidence during his run for president. i hear 5.3% unemployment. that is the biggest joke there is in this country. but after a strong jobs report for his first full month in office, a sudden reversal from the white house press secretary. they may have been phony in the past but it s very real now. minutes after cnn called the 2012 election for president obama, he lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. we should have a revolution in the country. also calling the electoral college phony. actually president obama won the electoral college vote and the popular vote. as the numbers came in, trump deleted those tweets. four years later, donald trump s own actual electoral win and popular vote loss takes us to number 3. in addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. you re going to find, and we re going to do an investigation on it. but three to five million illegal votes? we ll find out. it could be that much. still no white house investigation nor any evidence to support the claim. at number 2, how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. this is nixon/watergate. bad or sick guy. well, the house intelligence committee launched an investigation into that claim. we don t have any evidence that that took place. and in fact i don t believe, just in the last week of time, the people we ve talked to, i don t think there was an actual tap of trump tower. we will be submitting certain things, and i will be perhaps speaking about this next week, but it s right now before the committee. and i think i want to leave it there. and the number one debunked or baseless claim. you are not allowed to be a president if you re not born in this country. he may not have been born in this country. the relentless questioning of president obama s birthplace, tweeting in 2012, an extremely credible source has called my office and told me that barack obama s birth certificate is a fraud. well, that was more than a year after the president released his long form birth certificate in response to trump s claims. i know that there is going to be a segment of people for which no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest. that included donald trump, who tweeted in 2012, i want to see barack obama s college records to see how he listed his place of birth in the application. then under intense pressure during his campaign for president in 2016, donald trump finally acknowledged the truth. president barack obama was born in the united states, period. happy twitter-versary to @realdonaldtrump. joining me now, brian stelter, host of reliable sources. eight years, trump on twitter. he s clearly not changing his ways. do we need to change the way we cover his tweets? i think newsrooms are getting more judicious about this, taking it very seriously when it involves foreign policy or foreign affairs or governance, taking it a little less seriously when he s complaining about ash arnold schwarzenegger or picking a fight with some celebrity. those tweets can end up being distractions. certainly he s making news on twitter. it s a new form of a press release, both on twitter and on facebook, which is probably a bigger way, it reaches more people, even though it gets less attention. he has mastered twitter unlike any other politician. it s worth noting that eight-year anniversary. all throughout president obama s tenure he was tweeting all the way along as we saw after election night in 2012, laying the groundwork to become president. it s interesting, when we have seen his tweets before, he was tweeting as trump the celebrity, as a big business mogul. but now he s tweeting as trump and as president. so as the media, we look at these tweets and it s hard not to take them seriously. absolutely. we need to scrutinize his words just like obama s or bush s or reagan s or any president s words that have to be taken seriously. but i think the media amplifies president trump s tweets in a significant way, possibly too loudly. his posts today were about merkel, about germany. there were 15,000 retweets, that means 15,000 people spread them to their friends. but millions of people heard about those tweets through your newscasts and other newscasts. so it s the media who amplifies his tweets. if i tweet about my breakfast, nobody pays attention. maybe we should spend less time talking about his celebrity feuds. the president was asked if he regrets any of his tweets. let s watch. my second question, are there from time to time tweets that you regret. very seldom. so you very seldom. probably wouldn t be here right now. very seldom. we have a tremendous group of people that listen. i can get around the media when the media doesn t tell the truth so i like that. the thing that he said there that really caught my attention was i probably wouldn t be here right now. probably wouldn t be here. if he didn t tweet the way he does. does he have a point? i think we heard some political experts say the same thing. it was twitter that helped the president get to where he is. i would disagree a little bit. i think everybody has a different theory for why trump was able to win the presidency. it was more about cultural currents and reaction to obama s race, class and gender. what s significant about twitter is the president knows how to speak in 140 characters in a sentence or two and how to convey short, simple persuasive messages and that s what twitter and facebook teaches you to do. teaches you how to be concise with your words. president trump whether calling hillary clinton crooked or talking about building the wall, short declarative statements is why he s the first twitter president. he s sort of a matter of this. every other politician many other politicians are already learning from this and are going to. whoever runs in 2020, they re going to try to be media companies the same way trump is with facebook and twitter accounts and reality tv show along the way. seeing now that he can get in some serious trouble with just 140 characters. look at what happened with wiretapping tweets and fox news actually addressed those tweets. president trump saying his wiretapping tweets were citing a fox news story. let s watch this. fox news knows of no evidence of any kind that the now president of the united states was surveilled at any time in any way full stop. so the president or at least sean spicer said essentially it was fox news. we were reporting what we heard on their air. now we hear fox news say we can t even back up what that commentator said on our air. is he threatening the credibility of fox news? there s a weird dance going on. fox says we don t have proof for what you re saying. we can t back up what you re saying. it does go to show the president s tweets matter more now because he s in the white house and because he has attention of the entire world with his entire feed. brian stelter, good to see you. don t forget to watch tomorrow reliable sources, tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m. eastern. coming up, jeanne moos on mcdonald s, tiny hands and a hacked twitter account. why do so many businesses rely on the u.s. postal service?

pushing fake news, not to be outdone, cnn s chris tried to trivialize the president s trip by tweeting out this video, trying to make it look like polish first lady snubbed president trump, but president dududa, creationing record. corrected the report. saying my wife did shake the president s hand. anyone mocking president obama for bowing to saudi king. areas like north korea, ukraine and isis, president trump did not let putin go without pushing him on election hacking, which putin denied. media is not covering the president fairly. is not covering president fully, and continues to trivialize him and push fake news. which is why if you want to see president covered fairly, tune in to watter s world, president trump inviting vladimir putin to meet with him face-to-face in hamburg, germany, the first form alarcon veral,conversation that vladimin and a u.s. president has had in over two years. joining me now, kellyanne conway. what did you think of water s word? i love them, you actually laid out some facts. that is very prefreshing. i thought it was unfortunate white house correspondent from a major news organization would go to poland, following the president s speech, applauded by so many people, including right, lift anleft and center, they apd him for appealing to our stir it, our pride, our identity, how talking about how borders may fall, and nations may suffer but the will of the people is strong and important, back to our western values, just making it about them again, the media are caught in this terrible cycle of trying to make most of the stories about them. they tweet at each other, they tweet snark elie about president, things that would never passat a pass an editor s. and they make such a big deal about president s social media platform. i want to ask you a question about this meet between president trump and vladimir putin, this is what brinkley said about the meeting on cnn. he already kissing the ridge of putin, putin will go back a champion. narrative is that president trump kissed putin s ring, and president trump said it was an honor to be with vladimir putin. which of the not a good idea to say. and the media is obsessing over how long the meeting took. they can t seem to understand what is going on. what is going on? they are not, but everything you said it irrelevant. to the actual meeting and to what president putin and president trump may be able to accomplishin together. president has said in the fast, if 3 there is a willing partner to help defeat isis, he is listening, there are so many things they could talk about. they did, they are two presidents of country. all media speculation and handwringing. justin assault, they don t matter, they don t matter to the american people, have you seen the approval rating of media lately. it is in the tank right now, they cover the small fall issues, 220,000 jobs created last month. you have a lot coming out of this putin and trump meeting, they are focused on handshakes and what tie the other person wore. i want to show you funny video i have seen this. last labor day we invited 20 minute quick trip. between two cleveland and ohio, there was somebody there, a reporter who was just hitting mr. trump day after day, and once he was in his company, he was like can i help you, hole hd your things. and it is when you are in this company of president trump, you realize that it is a specia place to be. i you are with the most powerfulhe man in this country.ot reality has a way of u intruding on the narrative..udig it does. president macron has invitedidep president trump to france next e week, and he is going, at the invitation of president macron. a leader to leader level, there ther are issues discussed and ideas e presented, matters concurred together that are way above what everyone else is discusses. north korea, your reactionusg there. they tested the icbm the other day, it looks like china, in myh opinion, doesn t want to see a e unified korean peninsula, that i want to kee keep it divided, thy are not doing anything to showeh they are going to make progress on denuclearization. in your opinion, how optimistic is the white house about making china understand the threat and having china use its vast influence.e.having the trade is about 40 percentts right now with china and north v korea, of calming things down on the peninsula? a few things, in first couple of months of his administrationn president trump has met with all of these leaders. he has established a positive relationship with respect toe trade for example with president xi of china. we we have beef going to china for first time in a long time for ca example.me. at same time we has met with leaders of south korea. moo mr. moon and mr. abe of japan, they had a ti tie trilateral diy just this week. everyone is serious in focusing on the fact that north korea launched a missile that seems to have different capabilities, asa secretary of defense mattis mentioned we re exploring thee economic and diplomatic channelm in response. but at the same time, president hasek pressed his opinion on china with respect to north korea. everyone should look at that. i appreciate the things have you done. very subspan shal stan shall prm we substantial problem we all face in north korea. and i am sure whether it is on north korea or any of the many o things that we ll be discussing, we ll come to a successfulco conclusion. that is not fake news that il the president speaking about very serious issues, let s see s how much they cover thesemes issues. let s see how seriously they take the threat. you are right. inform the public.ke t is it a threat that should unite all americans, republicans and democrats. right. and even media, kellyanne thank you very much. thank you, jesse. a nypd officer, gunned down by a cop hater. is it time black lives matter is listed as a terrorist organization? the fiery debate coming up. but first remember this? he is a loose cannon, he iss going to get us in trouble. i feel like i am in mourning for america. voters in disbelief following donald trump s election win. vo. he joins me next. tech: when you schedule with safelite autoglass, you get a text when we re on our way. you can see exactly when we ll arrive. i m micah with safelite. customer: thanks for coming, it s right over here. tech: giving you a few more minutes for what matters most. take care. kids singing: safelite® repair, safelite® replace. but with my back pain i couldn t sleep or get up in time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. and now. i m back! aleve pm for a better am. hot dogs will never be chanthe same again. we went back to the drawing board. and the cutting board. we never stopped tasting. and tinkering. until we had. a line of the world s best hot dogs. we removed the added nitrates and nitrites waved goodbye to by-products. and got rid of the artificial preservatives in all of our meat. every. single. one. for every. single. one of you. what else would you expect from oscar mayer. we eat, sleep and even drive hot dogs. be the you who doesn t cover your moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. be the you who shows up in that dress. who hugs a friend. who is done with treatments that don t give you clearer skin. be the you who controls your psoriasis with stelara® just 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses. stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections and cancer. some serious infections require hospitalization. before treatment, get tested for tuberculosis. before starting stelara® tell your doctor if you think you have an infection or have symptoms such as: fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. always tell your doctor if you have any signs of infection, have had cancer, if you develop any new skin growths or if anyone in your house needs or has recently received a vaccine. alert your doctor of new or worsening problems, including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems these may be signs of a rare, potentially fatal brain condition. some serious allergic reactions can occur. do not take stelara® if you are allergic to stelara® or any of its ingredients. most people using stelara® saw 75% clearer skin and the majority were rated as cleared or minimal at 12 weeks. be the you who talks to your dermatologist about stelara®. award winning interface. award winning design. award winning engine. the volvo xc90. the most awarded luxury suv of the century. visit your volvo dealer today and get up to $4,500 in allowances. my partner s shot! my partner s shot! the 67th officer to die on duty since january. a nearly 20% jump this year alone. there was zero coverage on msnbc and only 90 seconds on cnn. the increase in cop killings is no surprise with black live matters protesters chanting things like this. [pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon]ness here to debate. , when you hear death chants like that, do you link those to any of the violence on officers? i couldn t quite make out what the chant was saying. jesse: pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon. that sounds like a nonsense chant. jesse: i agree it s nonsense, but it s real. it s real nonsense. when you talk about is black lives matter responsible for the uptick in violence against police. black lives matter is not an organization with dues-paying members. it s an uprising that came out of police officers killing blacks. when we look at the fact that this organization which isn t really an organization, it s a few people who started a hashtag. ess just because it doesn t have a headquarters doesn t mean it s not a vibrant and loud organization. dana: i ll go to you. police officer deaths are up this year, almost 20%. and last year was the deadliest in the last five years for on-duty police killings. do youling black lives matter to any of that? yes. this is a group that was invited to the white house and given a platform at the democratic national convention. let s not make it out like it s a couple guys on a street corner who invented a hashtag. this is the one that gets me. what do we want, dead cops. when do we want them? now. this isn t guilt by association, it s actively calling for violence against cops. jesse: we all don t want innocent lives to be taken in an exchange with law enforcement. no one wants that, black, white, hispanic, but there are four studies to show there is no racial bias in lethal killing. and lethal force is used against white suspect twice as much as on white suspects. the whole premise that white officers are shooting black suspects is just wrong. if you look at the percentage. 13% of america are african-american. 30% of incarcerated women are black women when they only make up 13% of the population of americans. straight numbers and percentages can be manipulated to show whatever you want. jesse: that s because african-americans commit more violent crime as a percentage of the population than white americans. they are f.b.i. statistics. as a percentage of the population. but i have to run. and i think we can all agree nobody want to see anybody unfairly targeted by law enforcement. thank you very much. the college professor who says white trump voters are so mysterious, they need to be studied in class. it was the wwe video seen around the world. what do wrestling fans think of this?

maybe it s time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it s a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months,. with reduced redness,. thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don t take otezla if you re allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts. or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight. and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea,. nausea, upper respiratory tract infection. and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you re pregnant or planning to be. ask your dermatologist about otezla today. otezla. show more of you. can t you just walk the streets to find out what white working class americans think? apparently it doesn t work. so many of these people who have four-year degrees, the pundits, the politicians, the professors didn t understand the white working class. they don t understand it. since we already have black studies and female studies and gay studies, it seems we should study this group, too, so everybody, republicans, liberals, democrats and conservatives will understand. we have to understand it. also, something i came up with after i made this call, it s already being picked up with by the way. life expectancy is a basic measure how well we are doing. since the revolutionary war life expectancy has gown for every group. but recently it has been going down for every white working class. they are suffering from what the experts call diseases of despair, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and suicide. jesse: that s why the opioid crisis is such a big issue for president trump. let me save you have a little paper on the study tip used to go out on the street in watters world and talk to regular americans. i will explain why i think they voted for donald trump over hillary clinton. obamacare was hammering them. a lot of good-paying jobs left to go overseas. the open border situation was having hispanics come in and undercut their wages. they didn t trust hillary clinton and couldn t relate to hillary clinton. donald trump s america first policy they could relate to and he was funny. and he s someone they believe could make america great again. that s pretty simple? it should be. why is it everybody else doesn t understand it. and i don t think that s quite true. if you look at blacks and hispanics many of them are suffering from the same problems the white working class are. their life expectancy is going up and they are not suffering from diseases of despair. you could be the first chair of white working class studies. jesse: i will be the white man chairperson. democrats put refugees over veterans. they put illegal aliens over police officers and celebrate black lives matter. republican sources are saying republicans have to do this also. both parties have got to do it. jesse: lindsey lohan come together defense of president trump this week. dean cane is here to share first-hands experience of the bullying effect of the left. americans - 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let s do more. add one a day 50+ a complete multi-vitamin with 100% daily value of more than 15 key nutrients. one a day 50+. . jesse: the tsa failed 95% of its security tests. jesse: i can t even bring my two face. sandra is calling for a jihad against president donald trump. addressing the annual islamic society of north american convention this last weekend. she called on muslim americans to unite against the white house. i hope that when we stand up to those who affect our that all communities that it s a form of jihad and we are struggling against tyrants and rulers not only abroad in the middle east or other side of the world but here in the united states of america where you have fascists and white supremacist and islam of folks rating in the white house. jesse: lindsay lohan is standing up for the president this week this is our president, stop bullying him and start trusting him. thank you, personally, for supporting the usa. sprint, which trouble did you get him for telling the truth? jesse: lohan will not have a lot of friends after that. the pc police strike in oregon where an hawaiian theme restaurant was forced to close its doors after locals of polynesian dissent slammed the eatery for having cultural and sensitive the core. the owner apologized saying the restaurant was in homage to a place he loved. so, sorry no more pics on a stick. in an ironic the fate the folks at peta are being attacked by the left for what time it is a are the unethical treatment of women. the animal-rights group apparently stayed a promotional event in wimbledon where women in bikinis handed out dairy free treats to the sweltering crowd. peter fired back i mean it s critics were just a bunch of fruits. i love when the left is itself. here are some fake stories making news this week: the failing new york times strikes again, falsely reporting a statement from a parity north korea twitter account as an actual statement from the north korean government. the time story on it during military exercise between north korea and us said that the north korean government belittled the exercises demonstrating total ignorance of ballistic science. the times for us to publish a correction. ignorance. this time from the times. lastly, the white house is pushing back against the story from the daily beat claiming the administration asked the defense officials to brainstorm ideas that the brand the isis eye bird from his predecessor. false. senior white house officials say it never happened. not going to be the first or last time. pretty me now is actor in host of masters of illusion, there he is, dean cain. what did you think of those ridiculous stories?? i could hear for an hour and a half. your whole show and then some could be at. it s ridiculous. there s so many and they just keep coming. text you pay attention to the fake new stuff? doesn t get you going or not? i get stupid. it doesn t get me going. it s that some people take it is real and that bothers me. i get where it and say that s jesse: ridiculous but it s insane. it s crazy. jesse: when you haveou conversations with all your left-wing hollywood, today trot out fake news as real news or do you have to correct them? t pron that happens. honestly, it s xyz or this or that or it s not true or this didn t happen, no they haven t proven collusion. it s not something. no, he doesn t work with putin, he doesn t have a hammer and sickle. jesse: they listen to you when you say that? they listen but i don t know that they hear me. i ll keep pounding my head against the wall. here s the thing for me. i m independent. i see where there s truth and i ll say when your argument is better than mine and you can convince me i ll believe it. jesse: is hard to argue with facts. cnn taking even more hit for threatening to identify the person behind the gif of president trump body slamming the cnn logo. it started when he shared the t video on twitter and went viral. they hunted down the creator and threatened to reveal his identity. when you hear about a company going after some little guy on the internet, how does that make you feel? it s disgusting. it makes them look absolutely terrible. it s a very, very bad look for cnn. it s hurting them. they ve also guaranteed that there will now be 900,000 meme of donald trump. jesse: if you look on the right now you can find them. the ratings actually in the last two weeks sense this fake news has really gone down for cnn and it s unfortunate for cnn. they become everything on that channel, that show, it s all antitrust. that gets boring after a while. if you keep saying the same thing over and over if you see the tweets or the zero my god zero my god zero my god. jesse: it was phony. i let it slide. i was talking in the green room. jesse: can you do me a favor w contract next time you re in the hollywood walk of stars, if you see someone defacing donald trump can you give them something for me? what you think i would do? if i saw someone burning the american flag, they will hear my opinion. jesse: listen, if you see dean cain, hollywood walk of stars or walk of fame or whatever, don t debase a star. he s coming at you. thank you, very much still ahead, watters world gets the scoop on what the wwe fans think of the viral video. president trump restoring american leadership on the world stage putting america first in his speech in warsaw. eric bowling is here with his take on the importance of going nationalist. our borders will always bee close to terrorism and extremism of any kind. constipated?

[laughter] he delivered everything he promised as a president that he promised as a campaign person. i tell you, i wrote the book the spot because i figured he d win but when we got to dc we wonder what we had in store and i was slapped with a deeper, uglier, murkier spot than anyone imagined. and it s occupied by people with people on the right and for him to get on the united states, deliver that speech, it was a reset and a great moment. i also like the fact that it set him up to go on to the g20 where he met resistance, no doubt about it but at least the world saw a positive moment with president trump. by the way, melania trump was amazing. jesse: she gave a great introduction look beautiful as always. he mentioned the swamp during the speech in poland when he was talking about the bureaucracy and creeping socialism and all those regulations and how that can create decay in a society. he went from the dc to poland and poland is at the mercy of? russia. for the respective energy. donald trump is done rollback our energy regulations, first thing he did, roll them back, unleash the power of american energy and that is the jet fuel to the american economy but he goes from poland where they released respect that. look, we have a guy, a friend who s exporting natural gas to poland. they love that. then he goes on to germany, guess what the germans are at risk for two? another problem with energy with russia as well. the world is a very, very sketchy place right now and i by becoming self-sufficient in energy, we are solidified ourselves as the number one powerhouse. jesse: even sketchy or is washington dc and we have the new, big book out and it s doing very well. congratulations. draining the swamp, if you could say one or two key things that president trump needs to do immediately what would it be? i think he did. the book hits the new york times bestseller. he tweeted about the book. i think the biggest thing that trump can do and i talked to him, i m friendly with him and we speak continue to look at the oval office as you do a board room. cut the fat, let people go thatu are working out, bring in people who are successful, look, we have rex tillerson and some ofid the most successful people in the world working for us and one more thought, when was the last time you ever heard the president say how much did that cost air force one, one of the first things he did was were paying too much for that. he ll be fine at. he s trying to cut the cost for the taxpayer. jesse: do you know who else fle, on that this guy. i m glad were taking some cash out of these fat cats. whatever you want, eric. maybe next time to let you ride around. i want the peanuts and the beer nuts. jesse: i want the beer nuts and the beer. thanks a lot man. cnn allegedly threatening to out to the reddit user who created the viral trump wrestling 20. what wwe fans think of the attempted black male, up next. safe drivers who switch to esurance could save money on car insurance. in fact, safe drivers who switch from geico to esurance could save hundreds. so if you switch to esurance, saving is a pretty safe bet. auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. what s going on?

strength. important you pointed out they have counseling and the equipment they need. reporter: they re bringing in more supplies. i see the supplies. we want to you keep your voice down as low as you can. we can hear you. reporter: more supplies. we see paramedics coming out. there have been pediatricians on the scene that have been brought in. people just with everyday tools that have been asked to come to try to break some of this concrete in this school, andrea. the fists have gone back up again. i m going to hand it to you. for the first time probably 15 minutes ago, they started to drill, a diamond-edged drill, it looked like really into the bars sort of on the bottom level. until then we just see people try to climb into that hole from above. as they re able to hear whether through the cell phone calls or directly from the voices of those children inside in that area known as the triangle of life, they are simply trying to get closer. i ve got a lot of people who know more about these things than we do who are tweeting that from the look of it, it looks like they re welding a brace on, it looks like an arc welder as opposed to a drill. they re putting something in place to lift up or get under or something. they re actually constructing something, so that s an arc welder you re seeing. you ll see masks over their face as well which is helping people identify that as an arc welder. and we have help as far away as japan. the technology that has been developed by teams around the world, especially earthquake zones, which is all converging on mexico city. president pena nieto has been in contact with netanyahu who has experienced this in other cities. a first responder spoke to us in the last hour who said even though there is a crane there, they simply can t lift these slabs. it is like a puzzle. every piece that s pulled out and they re brittle. the idea of knowing that there are at least three people alive in there changed the dynamic entirely, because now you have to make sure that every little thing you move doesn t cause a collapse. and it s also a risk for the rescuers themselves. any one piece, which you can t engineer. you don t know how these large plates of cement the fact that these kids perhaps are protected by a concrete table or some sort of slab is unique. there are air bubbles and air pockets. yes, mariana? reporter: the barricade has gone back up. they re closing the perimeter once again, and it seems like that ambulance that was going to come out did not come out after all. we did see several more people, mexican federalis, go in. reporter: go ahead. how hot a day is it for the rescue workers as well? reporter: it is not really a hot day at all. mexico city is just starting to cool down this time of year. i believe it s about 70 degrees, it s cloudy, so not a bad time for rescue workers in that regard. however, i do want to point out it rained overnight and that made rescue workers here incredibly nervous because of the fear of mudslides. one told me this morning they had to stop the rescue efforts because some of these structures moved. and as we made our way here this morning, we could see sort of all the water, the puddles in the street from the rain, and it just goes to show that any factor here, a bit of rain, a wrong move, anything can really change sort of the very delicate balance that they re trying to strike here to be able to pull these children to safety. this is one of the rescue workers we spoke to before. let me see if i can grab her. what s happening inside? nothing is happening. why did they ask people to step away? is there an ambulance that was going to come out? [ speaking spanish ] reporter: she said they were silenced and now nothing is happening. but i m overhearing the ambulance will try to make their way out here again, andrea, so it looks like they might ask us to move to the side. it looks like they re bringing in some cables for power lines. let s see if we can keep our shot up. ambulances are going to come out? [ speaking spanish ] reporter: so the military told this first responder that ambulances will be coming out. [ speaking spanish ] mariana, i m going to bring in dr. azar just for her medical opinion who is in the studio in new york. doctor, tell us about the ability of these young children, who at least up until now, had done without food or water. there was an air pocket there and they did lower some liquids to them. the water and oxygen for now are the most important things. food they don t need to worry about right now. the kids can survive even up to a couple weeks, humans can survive without food. but it s really water, it s dehydration. it s keeping them calm, it s keeping them conscious to the ability that they can if they can try to communicate any particular injuries that they might have had, like a bone break or some, you know, if they have pain in any part of the body that would be unusual that would make them more concerned about a more serious injury. if we re just talking about the fact that they are sheltered underneath this piece of granite and they can get enough oxygen and they can get into them, i think we got information that they re getting sort of a pedialyte type of liquid which is better than just plain water. plain water is obviously necessary, but things with electrolytes in particular will help with dehydration, kidney function, all those things. they are going to the bathroom, they re probably crying, they re losing fluid that way, so that is just the most important thing, i think, at this point. a couple days without fluid and that s when we start to see some real serious consequences. so, you know, we re at 40-plus hours into this ordeal. they are communicating with them, which is great. they have the ability, we think, through possibly tubing or a hose to get fluids and things like pedialyte to them. those are all very, very good signs. i think the biggest thing is the structural and the collapse and that barrier to them. with us here in new york as well watching this dramatic scene is the spokesperson for secretary of state rex tillerson, heather nuart. we ll talk to you about other things coming up, but i know the president talked about the relief, the supplies that he s offered to the mexican government and what we re providing from around the world, really. this is a global effort. it absolutely is. the president spoke with president nieto earlier today. we had offered support. mexico accepted our support. the state department has some disaster assistance teams who are headed down there. they may have reached the location already, but i know they re headed down there and the state department is providing assistance in that. a number of things we ll bring, search and rescue dogs, heavy equipment and personnel. we work closely with los angeles fire and rescue. they often will respond to earthquakes all around the world there is another team like that in virginia, in fact where they do so much to help out communities. our hearts are broken. i m a mother of children that very same age, so it s hard to watch this, but we are all behind the mexican people. i know stephanie ruhle is still here. stephanie, you have children the same age. i do. i can t even imagine being a parent and manuimagining your children, thankfully, alive u d under a granite table, but how do you it s when superpowers kick in. you hear these stories of resilience, a 5, 7 and 9-year-old, they ve been in there for 45 hours, and if you look at signs the first responders are holding, every hour they make a new sign with things they need. about an hour ago when ali and i started, they were really just asking for water and things like that, but now you just saw a sign asking for metal rods. they re now asking for more and more welding equipment which are more positive signs that they know these kids are in there. the question is how are they going to get them out? dr. natalie azar just telling us they can survive for days. a as you see the hands go back up, that means they heard something else from inside, they think they can get closer. they ve lowered the water, the pedialyte, whatever the liquid is, and that these kids are communicating something. mariana, can you still hear us? i m not sure if you can speak softly if you ve picked up any information they might have heard. reporter: i m here, andrea. the fists, as you saw, have gone back up which means they are once again communicating with the children. so they re asking us to remain quiet but i can still whisper and we re pretty far away from the perimeter where you and i can still talk. there was an ambulance that was supposed to come out. that has not happened yet. we did see a doctor wearing scrubs rushed in here about 30 seconds ago before the fists went up. as you were discussing before, still it amazes me that they re still asking people to bring anything they can to cut through this concrete, to bring hammers, to bring you see people around me with sort of household items here that have volunteered to cut through the walls of this elementary school. we re seeing one of the volunteers here. can i describe you real quick? this is my friend we ve been catching up with. this is a bag filled with medicine for the children, andrea, that she s bringing. any medicine for children that they re asking for. is this for a fever, for for any pain. i m going to let you go back inside because i know they need that. again, it s still a very volatile situation in terms of cutting through the concrete and getting these children the supplies they need to be able to stay safe and be able to pull them out safely. andrea? now they re asking us as you see, they re asking us to stand by and they ve placed a rope here, sort of a makeshift perimeter for the supposed vehicle that has been waiting to come out for sort of the past 15 or 20 minutes or so. we can see them clearing a path for the vehicle to come out. andrea, just think about almost the irony there. you could see on the screen a moment ago that fist in the air. it s truly a sign of hope. it s very, very difficult for them to understand exactly where the kids are. you mentioned it earlier. a three-story building collapsed. that s pancaked. it s not like there is an opening and they can simply walk in mariana, we see them backing a truck in with lumber. reporter: there is a vehicle backing in and it has these wooden exactly. they just need to get these structures where they need to be in order to pull these children out. that means also maybe lifting some of the rubble and moving it where they need to move it for their bodies to be able to come out. that is what we re told the lumber is for. the procedure would be to use the crane to lift up part of the concrete, and as they do it, to prop up and create a space. it s like a mine collapse. they ve barely used the crane so far. it hasn t lifted any real debris. andrea, when we talk about heavy equipment being brought down there, this is something the state department is helping to facilitate. that s what we do in a disaster, an emergency. we help our friend, help our allies, help our neighbors. very proud to have our state department and the good folks down there. there is a good chance, because we re there, because we can help and we can help provide that equipment. we ve got the medical supplies, we have what mexico needs. this is the second earthquake in a numberweeks. mexico has suffered so much. they could suffer aftershocks. a 7.2 earthquake, there could be tremors after. you have workers inside this rubble truly putting their lives at risk when you don t know what could be coming. that s a really important point. we see officials. if you look at the yellow hats, these are training officials. there are a lot of other people who are construction workers. mariana just spoke to a couple guys who showed up with their own tools to help. we saw this in harvey, we saw it in florida. this is the heroism of regular people who know there are lives to be saved in there, and they are endangering their own lives to go in there and try to get these kids out. we believe there are three of them and maybe more, and it s truly it is amazing to watch. it s also amazing they re using the most basic of drilling equipment. maybe that s all they can use in a situation like this. again, as these kids are trapped in what they call this triangle of life, they re under that one granite table. one wrong move what kind of drilling equipment you use would be so critical. andrea, as i mentioned to you, i mentioned the l.a. search and rescue team that they work with. i just got word that they arrived at 5:00 a.m. today so they re here to assist in the rescue of these children. they do such tremendous work when they respond to earthquakes, building collapses and that type of thing to help out our fellow neighbors and friends. they re on the ground right now. just to give everyone a heads up, at some moment very soon, we re going to see president trump with his south korean and japanese counterparts, with the allies they are meeting to discuss the crisis in north korea. we will bring that to you when it happens. he has already confirmed today in various photo opportunities that they ll be announcing unilateral sanctions by the united states against north korea as they try to tighten the noose. you see vice president pence is there already, nikki haley, and we just saw treasury secretary mnuchin and mcmaster. the secretary of state walking in. heather nuart is with us. that is her boss. you can see on the left as well this continuing rescue effort. i want to bring in very quickly, joining me by phone in mexico city s widespread reporter doug alt who has lived in the city for decades, for 30 years. how is the mexican government handling this rescue effort and this crisis, dudley? hi, andrea. these are difficult situations. they re already buried in the recovery for the earthquake that hit august 7. they re always responding. it s never enough and they can receive a lot of criticism. the amazing thing, and you all have been talking about this, is the response from the public here, just the amount of volunteers that have turned out. actually, there s more volunteers than they need at these sites. they ve actually told people, please don t come because most of us don t know what to do in these situations. everybody wants to help, but if you re not really helping, you re in the way. so now that there s other teams coming in from israel, the united states and the mexican earthquake recovery people know what they re doing in these situations. there s just thousands of people still lined up outside, not only the school but other places in mexico city where there s been collapses of buildings. a lot of young kids, a lot of people in their young 20s that want to help, but they re just standing in solidarity. we re going to stand by because the president just announced the sanctions on north korea. let s listen. a new extraordinaecutive ord signed that expands our authorities to target individuals, companies, financial institutions that finance and facilitate trade with north korea. as i outlined at my address to the united nations general assembly, north korea s nuclear weapons and missile development is a grave threat to peace and security in our world, and it is unacceptable that others financially support this criminal rogue regime. the brutal north korean regime does not respect its own citizens or the sovereignty of other nations. our new executive order will cut off sources of revenue that fund north korea s efforts to develop the deadliest weapons known to humankind. the order enhances the treasury department s authorities to target any individual or entity that conducts significant trade in goods, services or technology with north korea, and i m very proud to tell you that, as you may have just heard moments ago, china, their central bank, has told their other banks that s a massive banking system to immediately stop doing business with north korea. this just happened, just reported. in addition to everything else, what we will do is identify new industries, including textiles, fishing, information technology and manufacturing, that the treasury department can target with strong sanctions. and secretary mnuchin is representing the treasury department. he s here today. to prevent sanctions evasion, the order also includes measures designed to disrupt critical north american shipping and trade networks. for too long north korea has been allowed to abuse the national financial system to facilitate funding for its nuclear weapons and missile programs. the united states has had representatives working on this problem for over 25 years, they have done nothing. that s why we re in the problem that we re in today in addition to, frankly, other countries not doing what they should have done. tolerance for this disgraceful practice must end now. a new order will give the treasury department the discretion to sanction any foreign bank that knowingly conducts or facilitates significant transactions tied to trade with north korea. again, i just want to say and thank president xi of china for the very bold move he made today. that was a somewhat unexpected move and we appreciate it. new authority in this area applies to any activity that occurs following my signature on the executive order which i have actually just signed. foreign banks will face a clear choice, do business with the united states or facilitate trade with the lawless regime in north korea. and they won t have so much trade. this new order provides us with powerful new tools, but i want to be clear the order targets only one country and that country is north korea. the regime can no longer count on others to facilitate its trade and banking activities. many countries are working with us to increase economic and diplomatic pressure on north korea, but i continue to call on all those responsible nations to enforce and implement u.n. sanctions and impose their own measures like the ones i am announcing today. i must tell you that this is a complete denuclearization of north korea that we seek. we cannot have this as a world body any longer. in just a few minutes, prime minister abe, president moon and i are going to discuss what more we can do working together. we ve had a very, very close relationship. i think our nations have become closer because of this. i know it s going to be a great meeting, our alliance with south korea, and japan has never been stronger than it is today. we share a commitment in creating a world where strong and independent nations honor their people, respect the sovereignty, respect the sovereignty also of other nations and promote peace. thank you very much and i d like to ask to start off president moon to say a few words, please. as we sit here, the president just announcing these sanctions. with me still the state department spokesperson heather nuart. heather, how will these sanctions squeeze north korea more dramatically, especially as the president just announced, if the bank is going to cut down the cheating? we have said all along that secretary mattis even backed this up yesterday when he said, look, our first approach, our preferred approach is diplomacy. that s exactly what we re doing at the state department. we re pushing ahead with that. you ve seen the u.n. sanctions passed unanimously, including china and russia. we ve now seen unilateral sanctions that have been imposed upon entities, individuals, banks that are doing business with north korea. the president s executive order aims to do just that, focus on that. the whole point is to try to get money out of north korea, that money that would go into the illegal nuclear and ballistics programs. to starve north korea, if you would, of the money to fund is very realistic. they have had a series of conversations with china on this asking them to do more. china had been reluctant in the past. they have taken great strides and not only recognizing the threat of the dprk but taking gralt strides and recognizing the start of that and clamping down the money. the president had an hour-long call with president xi this week. they re really stepping up to the table. there s been a lot of comment back and forth about the president s rhetoric, whether it would backfire. the chinese reportedly not happy about it. how do you balance how much to talk about the military deterrents, whether it s start to ridicule kim jong-un and how much of a focus he is today on economic pressure. i think the president is a plain-spoken man. that is a virtue in the united states to have a direct leader who makes it very clear to the american people and the world what our expectations are. the strategy in the past has not worked. this is a new strategy that is sped up, that s putting more pressure on countries around the world. i sit in some of those bilateral meetings with a secretary who speaks to leaders in algeria, south africa, you name it. he says to them, we need to remove some of this money going into kim jong-un s regime. he tortures his people, he starves his people, he puts them into labor camps. that money goes into these weapons programs, so part of the campaign we work on hard. you have north korean guest workers here. they are essentially slave labor the. that is successful. this is diplomacy. you know it certainly well. it s succeeding. it doesn t happen overnight, it s taking some time, but we re pushing with that. do we have some time we saw the strength of the nuclear blast that last test, and that got a lot of people s attention, clearly, as well as in beijing. and our allies, too. imagine that. you re japan, you re sitting there and you ve had two overflights of ballistic missiles. how concerning is that? that s why we continue to have conversations with japan and the republic of korea saying, we are allies, we are here to help you, and we have your backs. before we go, i know you have new information about mexico city. yes. so the state department and the u.s. government, this administration, had offered assistance to mexico despite some of the stuff you read about in the papers, supposedly a frought relationship. we do have a close relationship with mexico. 60 members of that team on the ground, five dogs helping to sniff out power people who are trapped right now. we have 62,000 pounds of specialized equipment that can help in a situation just like this. it will be a 24/7 search that we will. our prayers are with the people of mexico. they ve certainly been through a whole lot. we re there and we have their backs. thank you very much for tracking that as well as what s happening in iran. john glock, a national security analyst and fred bo. john mclaughlin, one of your fellow representatives said they thought north korea would never denuclearize. is the best we can hope for is some kind of freeze, ca containment? i think that s probably the best we can hope for. what the president has just done, however, is significant. the two interesting things in his announcement were, first, that the treasury department is now authorized to basically sanction banks that deal with north korea. this is exactly what we did with iran. it s called sec dear sanctions, skpl your bif was correct to say, that poses a bill. they can do that as well as dealing with the banking system, which is what the chinese have apparently agreed to do. i think this is geared toward mainly getting the north koreans to the table. when you look back over the history of this issue, the only time we ve been able to make real progress in moving their nuclear programs backward are when we can get them to sit down at the table in negotiations. i believe secretary tillerson has been aiming for that. and to your first question, i really think we re at the point where they re far enough along now that we can t be sure we cannot say with confidence that they don t already have the capability to launch a missile toward us with a nuclear weapon on it. so i think the military preemption option is, i think, now past, though no one is going to say that. just very quickly, do you think they quite possibly could not have miniaturized the warhead but resolved the reentry and targeting challenges? i think what we have to say prudently is we don t know that they haven t. i think that s an important point. we don t know that they have, but we don t know that they haven t. they re far enough along and other countries have different standards for success than we do. by our standards, i would say no, they probably haven t done that. bystanders in other countries, they frequently consider themselves close to done well before they ve done all of the polished testing that we do. so i think there is a better than 50-50 chance that they ve accomplished those steps. ned price, briefly as we continue to follow the emergencies in mexico city, and we have yet to talk about the hurricane in puerto rico. in iran, the signals coming from rex tillerson last night, the president not happy about the political ramifications that iran is still doing, the support for assad, the training and weaponizing of terrorists and military units in yemen and syria and iraq, that he wants this iran nuclear deal to be strengthened with additional controls on iran s behavior. what is the prospect that the allies will ever get along with that, without blowing up the iran deal from the u.s. prospect? i think we ve heard from our allies, the frerchnch, the brit and the germans, to amend the iran deal, not only would you need to get the europeans on board, including china and russia, the iran deal is subject to monitoring that block all of its pathways to a nuclear weapon. that was difficult enough to achieve that for the iranians. i think the prospects are not only getting them to present a pa package but also by the critical leadership and the theological leadership. the broader point here, andrea, the deal was never about iran s nefarious activities in the region. yes, we should continue to apply pressure on them and their sanctions, but we have to imagine iran with a nuclear weapon. and iran with a nuclear weapon would make all these other challenges. very quickly i want you to update us. is dip loam sti still possible with north korea? and the president responded, why not? so there s still diplomatic actions. we ll be right back. to most people, i look like most people. but on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i m glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. don t drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don t drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who ve had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can do more with my family. talk to your doctor today. see if lyrica can help. you don t let anything lkeep you sidelined. come on! that s why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein, and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy, to get back to doing what you love. ensure, always be you. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. and at our

gillette - the best a man can get. marie callender s turkey pot pie staa rich, flavorful gravy.in and a crust made from scratch. because she knows that when it s cold outside, it s good food and good

richards, the ceo of urban rescue group, and also on the phone, maurice witt, fire and rescue. experts both. dan, as you see the crane there, you know that water and pedialyte have been lowered to these children. we think they re protected by a granite table underneath that. what do you think of the equipment they have there now? andrea, in these situations time is of the biggest challenge. time works against you, because with each passing hour, people, and particularly the victim trapped in the rubble, food, water and any injury they might have sustained are getting worse. so time is of the essence, and then obviously, the possibility of further collapse or shifting of the rubble. there is a possibility that as they try and get down to them that further debris may fall or that the supports that the rubble is resting on might become compromised and could result in further collapse. and chief witt, your montgomery county teams are participated in so many of these. we saw large pieces of lumber being brought in on a pickup about 20 minutes ago. presumably that would be if a crane can lift some of this to create some space and to prop up and create more space to get those children out with the lumber? yeah, a lot of times what you want to do is make sure the building doesn t move any further so you bring the lumber in, cut it to size to fit the spaces as you move other debris or other supporting material to ensure that as you re tunnelling into those areas you don t cause any shifting or movement of the heavy load above it, to ensure again that nothing comes down on the people that are already in there and that the rescuers going in to get them. i know you helped in oklahoma city with the bombing disaster. correct. well, to both of you, we know that some of the teams, the l.a. team is there now, we believe fairfax is also there as well as in puerto rico with the devastation of the hurricane. these scenes are just so dramatic and extraordinary, and the prayers of the nation obviously of mexico and the world is with those rescue teams there. thank you so much for your expertise. joining me now is a member of the judiciary committee. you know the tensions we ve had with mexico, but clearly all of that evaporates in an emergency such as this. it does. you think of those three little kids underneath that rubble. their parents, how they re feeling right now, and to know that we have experts from our country helping, from the mexican government, that everyone is doing everything they can to rescue those kitds. obviously those kids are to us, to their parents, the most precious, precious, precious children. but to awful ll of us, it s an example of what we re seeing all over the world, whether it s texas or what happened with the hurricane in puerto rico or a burc bunch of the caribbean islands. these are very, very serious weather occurrences going on all over the world, and we know we re better at predicting them, but we still have the human cost and you still have those little children under that rubble. senator klobuchar, with all the discussions about budget cuts, and i ve been reporting extensively about the vacancies at the state department and the proposed budget that has been rejected by state appropriators, this certainly meets the need of diplomacy around the world. it certainly does. what what s happening with north korea, i am supportive of these additional sanctions. i think it was very good development today that the bank of china has now stepped in. but to think we don t even have an ambassador yet to south korea. we need to fill these positions and we also need to support aid. tom emer, who is a conservative republican congressman, and i came together a few months ago to support the contention of foreign aid because we have issues of the somalian population in our state, and we know how terrorists can walk into situations if america doesn t lead. i was going to let you go and we were going to talk about health care today. what is your opinion on whether the republicans can get to 50 votes next week and repeal obamacare before the september 30th deadline, obviously? i don t think anyone knows right now, and i m really quite shocked in the middle of all of this that s going on, including these great bipartisan negotiations which have now stalled out because of this effort so repeal the health care act. here we go with another attempt to completely repeal it, opposed by the aarp, opposed by the children s hospital association, opposed by the people providing the insurance. it is unbelievable to me, and i m hoping my colleagues that so bravely stood up last time, my republican colleagues, from joe manson to bernie sanders will do this again. or maybe others will join in given that republican governors of governor kasich of ohio and governor walker in alaska have come out strongly against this bill. thank you so much, amy klobuchar joining us from minnesota oh, from d.c. pardon me, he thought you were back in minnesota. chris is here with search and rescue. chris, i think some of your colleagues are deployed in puerto rico. i have eight people with me on my team. we ve been here since hurricane irma and we re in the process of doing some rescue efforts here in puerto rico and hopefully st. croix. you also have a lot of experience with earthquake rescue. what is the challenge now for your colleagues and the mexican teams in mexico city around that elementary school? yeah, you know, we don t have much availability of that here. we do know there was an earthquake and some other teams went there. we don t have much availability on that now. the fact is you don t have the power is out, cell towers are out. generally speaking in terms of the hurricane rescue, what is your next mission? now we re checking hospitals and some of the local nursing homes. we have teams trying to make their way around the island just in areas where some events are taking place, working with the puerto ricans, trying to identify where they need help. we re trying to get aircraft to get up and do some areas so we can find those places as well as trying to get teams over to st. croix where we understand they need some help as well. well, good luck to you and thanks for everything you re doing there in san juan, and of course we also are thinking about st. croix which took such a terrible hit. thank you so much, chris schaaf. joining me now, peter baker, msnbc political analyst and washington correspondent ann gearen. thanks to you both. there s been a lot of reporting in the last 24 hours by the new york times and the washington post. first to you, peter. what is the latest on paul manafort on what the new york times was first reporting last night? i think paul manafort is facing some real issues here, obviously he has been told in the last few days that he s facing an indictment. the washington post talking about he s been offered a private briefing with the rush has been oligarch only re-enforced the notion that he had kept his close ties to the russian establishment even while he was campaign chairman with president trump, this was two weeks before president trump was going to accept the republican nomination, and the idea that manafort had a private briefing, certainly raises eyebrows. this offer for a private briefing, he has a gru intelligence background, very close ties to the kremlin? and it was an implication of money to be made from this, or rather forgiven debts to him? right, there s a question about who owed who money here, but manafort was trying to get paid by the russian oligarch. he was hoping some of that money could be somewhe could be somehow wiped away. but clearly he was maintaining a relationship with a guy who cannot get a standard issue u.s. visa because he s on lots of banned lists, at a time when donald trump was proceeding toward the nomination. now we know from both your papers reporting that robert mueller wants detailed information about president trump s meeting, what he said to the russian ambassador in that noted meeting that he where he discussed the circumstances for why he had just fired fbi director james comey, so peter he s looking into the president s activity in the white house, he wants all communications about paul manafort? it s also about things that happened while president trump was in the white house, it goes to the ability of a president to run a foreign policy, and now this criminal investigation raises issue, is that going to raise objections on the part of the white house to providing that information. you can see why robert mueller would want to know about it, if in fact as we reported, president trump said to the russian ambassador that president trump was a nutjob . d the national security advisor h.r. mcmaster was on with savannah guthrie and matt lauer this morning and they tried to drill down on whether he s been asked for his personal communications. have you or your lawyer been contacted by the special prosecutor s office for evidence? this is not my area offense expertise, but we re also focused on very important meetings between two nations two whose sovereignty has been affected. but no, i have not. you have not received any contact from the special counsel s office? i have been busy with other things and have not been contacted. this is what i m concerned about and i really have no basis to have your questions on this other topic. savannah guthrie and matt lauer, they do it so well. but there are indications that at least sort of circumstantial indications that the mueller team is seeking perhaps phone records, records of contacts, from white house staff, to reporters and to others outside the white house and making lists. we know how that freezes things in the white house. an update on that dramatic rescue, the efforts s in mexi city. well it s you girl, and you should know it. with each glance and every little movement you show it. you re gonna make it after all. it takes a long time to get to the top. you re gonna make it after all. but with america s best you re gonna make it after all. bumper-to-bumper limited you re gonna make it after all. warranty, the all-new volkswagen tiguan will be there every step ow! of the way. my frii say not if you this protect yourself.ary. what is scary? pneumococcal pneumonia. it s a serious disease. my doctor said the risk is greater now that i m over 50! yeah.ya-ha. just one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from pneumococcal pneumonia- an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. prevnar 13® is approved for adults 18 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. get this one done! ask about prevnar 13® at your next visit to your doctor s office or pharmacy. what should i watch? show me sports. it s so fluffy! look at that fluffy unicorn! he s so fluffy i m gonna die! your voice is awesome. the x1 voice remote. xfinity. the future of awesome. and as we continue to follow the breaking news, the dramatic rescue efforts in mexico city, nbc news medical correspondent dr. john torres joining me by phone, dr. torres, what is the possibility of survival for children that young trapped in the rubble? it completely depends on where they re trapped, how bad the trapping is and how much rubble is over the top of them. the same rescue workers have to concentrate on number one, finding out if there s survivors, getting to them as quickly as possible. and also that as they start moving the rubble, that none of the rubble falls on top of them. and also they have to make sure that the child or the adult gets some type of hydration, because dehydration is going to be the big killer right here. they need some type of water, because as they lay still their muscles are going to break down which can cause kidney issues and other things that are life threatening as well. we do know that they did feed down some liquids, pedialyte or water or some other life sustaining liquids, so that is of course a hopeful sign. all of this breaking news continues, my colleague craig melvin is up here on msnbc. craig melvin, here at msnbc headquarters in new york, on an
a lot of big things coming next weekend. jason chaffetz is sitting in for laura ingraham tonight. hope you have a great weekend. we ll see you back here on monday. good evening from washington welcome to the the ingraham angle . i m jason chaffetz in for laura tonight. we have a great show full of big stories an breaking news. democrats and republicans cooperated to end a government shutdown but many conservatives are not celebrating. we ll tell you why. and we have ambassador john bolton on the odd couple at the olympics. vice president mike pence sitting almost next to the sister of north korea s dictator. president trump has decided tonight he cannot release the democrat s fisa memo. he is inclined to release it but it needs changes because it contains classified material and a very sensitive passage. let s go to fox s ed henry now with more. this is a bit of a surprise. just a few hours ago lawmakers close to the process were predicting that the democrats memo would go public as early as tonight. president trump himself indicated to reporters in the middle of the day he was inclined to release this with at least some sensible redactions of national security information. but i think a clue of this hold-up came later in the afternoon when the president huddled with lawyers from the white house counsel s office and lawyers from the justice department and the f.b.i. director christopher wray. once you get the lawyers more deeply involved look out. the changes may be coming. sure enough mcgahn fired off a letter to nunes saying although the president is inclined to declassify the february 5th memo, because the memorandum contains numerous especially sensitive passages he sun able to do so at this time. however, given the public interest in the transparency in these unprecedented circumstances the president has directed the justice department personnel be available to give technical assistance to the intel committee should the committee wish to revise the february 5th memo to mitigate the risks identified by the department. now allies of nunes have been saying they believe it was a bit of a setup. democrat adam schiff put classified information in there that he knew would trip it out and democrats would cry that the president is hiding something. chuck schumer tonight pounced. he said the president s double standard when it comes to transparency is appalling. the rational for releasing the nunes memo, transparency, vanishes when it can show information harmful to him. millions of americans are asking what is he hiding? the next step for house intel is to either except the president s decisions, make changes and send it back to the white house or they can try to override the president in a secret session of the house. there has been only six of those in history. very rare. regardless of how they do it the bottom line. we re told the democratic memo does not dispute the key point of nunes s memo. f.b.i. and d.o.j. personnel got the fisa warrant to spy on correct? the information about the procedure and manner in which a warrant is obtained. that information should not have been released to the american public but it was beneficial to donald trump and he released it notwithstanding a public statement from the f.b.i. and the department of justice not to release it. john, let s go to this. there is also word about a second dossier that is out there. tell us what you know about that? in the summer of 2016 there was another pipeline of clinton-related information coming into the state department and to christopher steele and to the f.b.i. it comes through two guys that we ve heard from the past in the old clinton years in the 90s. tony sheer, a private eye, sidney blumenthal. their eye spy inside the campaign. they put the information in and tracks close to what steele had. all this information coming in. i predict all four sources of the information the f.b.i. used the launch the investigation against donald trump every one will have a connection to the clinton campaign. one of the concerns that s out there politico is reporting tonight that steve bannon may have been picked up on some of these surveillances. how does that strike you? right in the heart of the campaign and they ve also got now steve bannon according to politico that they were spying on as well? jason, we know two things right now despite that interesting little opening by leo there. we know that the obama team spied on the trump team. that s not in dispute. how it happened may be in dispute. we know that happened. what we also know is we know because there are court transcripts, okay? there is an actual record of this that no democrat can run from and no democrat will have plausible denyability on. the bulk of the material that went in front of the fisa court judges was provided by, in fact, the dossier, a dossier that came from two sources, substantiateed the fisa warrant came from the australian ambassador who hears papadopoulos in the bar drunk and having conversation with him. i think we ll learn about that ambassador and his loyalties. i think you ll find out four out of four things the f.b.i. used to start listening on the trump campaign comes back to the clinton family. leo, does any of this does any of this concern you? and i have to ask you give look right in the cam rand tell us, if donald trump had done this against a democrat, you can t tell me that you would just be sitting idly by saying the f.b.i. just acted perfectly in this instance. i m looking you and the american public now and leaning forward. donald trump is basically attacking every institution in the american government that he controls. the cia, f.b.i., department of justice. you want me to drink that kool-aid and believe the entire governmental security agencies are against donald trump? you want me to drink that kool-aid today on national today? do you believe the entire secret service and the f.b.i. and department of justice, everyone? come on. leo, it s amazing. you do this liberals do this all the time. they never address what you say. they go on to something else. he never addressed at all the substance of what i said. we know for a fact the obama team spied on the trump team. we know the information was provided by steele through the russians and know the information was provided through clinton i know because one of them wrote an op-ed in the washington post admitting to it and another one went on a weekend news show and admitted to it, too. go on about the russians again. that s what they do. i ll play your game. therefore, what? what are you making conclusion? tell us your conclusion. therefore what? who can therefore the obama team you may be hard of hearing but i already said it. infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. help protect yourself against pneumococcal pneumonia. ask your doctor or pharmacist about prevnar 13®. i had a very minor fender bender tonight! in an unreasonably narrow fast food drive thru lane. but what a powerful life lesson. and don t worry i have everything handled. i already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. which is so smart on your guy s part. like fact that they ll just. forgive you. four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won t go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. jason: the trump administration is under a fierce new attack by the left and media following the resignation of staff secretary rob porter of wednesday. he was accused of domestic violence by two ex-wives. some are calling for the resignation for chief of staff john kelly claiming he has known about the allegations for months. today the president urged everyone to withhold judgment until all the facts are known. i found out about it recently and i was surprised by it. but we certainly wish him well. it is a tough time for him. he did a very good job when he was in the white house. and we hope he has a wonderful career and hopefully he will have a great career ahead of him. he says he is innocent. you have to remember that. he said very strongly yesterday that he is innocent. jason: the porter allegations are creating a feeding frenzy with the president. they protected and promoted porter. there were several other ways the white house could have gone. the choices made by john kelly and others are inexcusable. they project abuser, no way of getting around it. people will say you can still be a good president and do your job, no, any other white house as soon as you would hear that you would get rid of the person. the reaction to this fully in character is utterly repulsive. jason: also developing tonight a second white house staffer resigned. speech writer david sorenson after his ex-wife claimed he was violent during their marriage, a charge that sorenson is denying. let s explore it with conservative television host alley stuckey and leslie marshall. thank you for being here. leslie, i want to start with you. how do you think the president and the white house dealt with this situation? you know, jason. sometimes it s not the crime, it s the cover-up. that s the problem here. it was who knew what and when and why or in this case why wasn t something done about it? we do know that kelly knew about this in the fall. we do know that this information was out there in the white house to the president s attorney back a year ago. and yet there was still not a thorough investigation, nothing was done and they were still going forward-looking into possible high-level security clearance for porter for this individual. that s very troubling. further troubling for me, jason, as a woman is that the president today wished an alleged accused abuser of women well and said nothing about the alleged victims. that s very troublesome for me. jason: what was your reaction to it when you saw this story and how the white house dealt with it? first of all think issues of domestic violence are serious. we can agree on that. simply because i voted for donald trump. i think we can all also all agree that this was simply a bad situation that the white house has already admitted they mishandled and it was a bad situation that people who work for the president should be held accountable for. however, i also think that it is completely dishonest and a little hypocritical of the liberal media to issue an indictment on the entire administration and presidency for mishandling the situation in the same way it was an indictment on the entirety of the clinton campaign when she covered up for the sexually harassing advisor in 2008. it is not an indictment on trump s entire presidency. i find the hypocrisy from some members of the liberal media to be a little tired and very dishonest. jason: even hillary clinton after the fact came back and said even though she had a report from her campaign manager there was sexual harassment problems she would not have fired that person. did you speak out against that or are you just speaking out against donald trump? i m glad you asked me, jason. you can google it. yes, i did here on fox on television on my radio show, on my column, on twitter and all other social media. i as a woman, a feminist and woman first before my party, i have to say i was appalled by this, absolutely appalled by this. i was very open and verbal about that and i wasn t the only person on the left. jason: good for you. not the only democrat that is just a woman that felt that way. the problem that i have when we talk about hypocrisy. i m glad you did that. i want to speak out on this, too. if the white house knew about this they have a problem and i think they have to also have an accounting. i think the chief of staff should get a list of everybody that is working in the white house who has passed a security background check who has question marks and who has failed. i saw this as a oversight chairman when i was the oversight chairman. i saw part of this in the obama administrations. allegations. i m trying to say their equal but security clearances with the people in close proximity to the president is problematic. i want to ask you and come over to you, alley. leslie, when you have somebody who denies it and there is an accusation, what is the right thing to do? do you let them keep their job, have proximity to the president? what should happen? well, first of all you read my mind because that s what i was about to say. to talk about. i have a problem here with the hypocrisy. let me use as an example senator al franken. although we had a photo, there were other allegations by not only the woman in the photos but others against the senator. he said i didn t do this. these claims are false. yet he stepped down and there was pressure among his own party and the president said negative things. he didn t say he denies it. roy moore, the president says he denies it. porter the president says he denies it. i feel that the president, jason, made it worse with his remarks again today not mentioning the women. what should be done? in this climate where we have so many allegations of sexual abuse, sexual harassment, the me too movement, i think it would be wise for any administration left or right to have to remove these individuals because it will be a stain on their administration. ali, what s the right thing to do. he said/she said, there is a disagreement. what s the right thing to do? we can only run on hypotheticals and all this is. like leslie said, we don t know who knew what when. we know what the white house is telling us. what the white house is telling us is that mike pence and president trump only found out about these allegations this week. apparently general kelly knew the full extent of the allegations last week and porter submitted his rest ignition and it was accepted. mike pence has even said you know what? i think we could have handled this a little more appropriately, which i took as taking responsibility. so at the end of the day i think the right thing happened. porter resigned, he is no longer in the white house where i personally think that he belongs. is not in the white house. jason: thank you both. my personal take on it is if there is any question about the people closest to the president of the united states, today we re out here with some big news. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. .and lower your a1c. wow. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. what do you think? i think it s time to think about jardiance. ask your doctor about jardiance. and get to the heart of what matters. they were the best team in the world.s. we were about to pull off the greatest upset in american sports history. but we were more than american. i never realized we were from all over. italian, middle eastern, jewish, turkey, iran. that s what makes america what it is. we all came together as one. that s what made us champions. money managers are pretty much the same. all but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that s why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. this is the story of green mountain coffee roasters dark magic told in the time it takes to brew your cup. first, we head to vermont. and go to our coffee shop. and meet dave. hey. why is dark magic so spell-bindingly good, he asks?

great tasting, heart-healthy california walnuts. so simple, so good. get the recipes at walnuts.org. depletion take care of our military. sadly we needed some dem votes for passage. must elect more republicans in 2018 election. senator rand paul failed to block the bill imploring republicans to stick to the principles of fiscal conservatives have preached for live but blasted by critics on the life and even some republicans. this shutdown was brought to you by rand paul. the kentucky republican senator who wanted the make a stand. self-indulgent. he disrupted life for federal workers for new purpose. senator rand paul of kentucky. get us up to date. yeah, very unpopular among the folks here. you have rand paul talking about the obama deficits. that s rich. the reason for the last-minute drama was republican senator rafnd paul. he was very unpopular with his senate colleagues. this did not go over particularly well for senator paul. it was a promotional tactic on this issue. some would say on rand paul himself. he made everybody feel uncomfortable because they were exhausted. jason: i liked what rand paul had to say. here to discuss the issue is sean duffy of wisconsin who voted for the bill and radio talk show host garland nixon. congressman duffy, i was able to serve with you, an honor and privilege to do so and thank you for joining us tonight. you voted for the bill. there is a compelling reason you did that. why did you vote for the bill? license, we re in a situation where we have a dilapidated military. planes that can t fly. we give our military a mission to accomplish but not the resources to accomplish the mission. the sequester has crushed our ability to defend ourselves. we have threats of china, north korea, iran. we passed a bill out of the house that was conservative. i supported the bill. as you know all too well and your listeners hear this quite a bit. when our bill went to the senate. you can t pass it with just republican votes. schumer extracted additional spending. we had a choice in the house. do we take the deal that chuck schumer threw more spending into which gets our military back on track to address the needs that we have in the world, or do we say no and keep these really horrible budget caps on the military that don t let them accomplish their mission. for me i don t like the spending in the bill but i also want to make sure our military men and women can defend us and accomplish the mission we give them. jason: garland, if you were in congress how would you you have voted? would you have voted against it? i would have been pushing to hold out for daca from the left side. but my feeling is this, i think that my opinion i think there are some reductions we could do in the military and we could have done that by bringing troops home from afghanistan. but additionally i think it s disingenuous to say you came up with the bill and shocked to find out there was another party in congress that you were going to have to go through. i don t remember in my lifetime when one party had super majorities in both houses and the white house and didn t have to bargain for something. jason: think back in 2009 and 2010 in obamacare. a super majority in the senate and shoved dodd-frank and obamacare down our throats. jason: why didn t the democrats unanimously vote for this? nothing was cut of any substance and it supported our military, something i thought democrats were supportive of. and i understand the need to do daca. i don t think you go any further than what president trump, speaker ryan and mitch mcconnell have done saying we fled to address it. by the way, barack obama was president for eight years and never addressed the immigration issue. i wish they would have addressed it when they had the majorities of the house and they didn t. we are where we are now. now the people that didn t go for it, the democrats don t have leverage or daca. they threw that out and may not get anything. i think the democrats that held out wasn t because of the budget. it was for other reasons. we can t fall into the trap of thinking the democrats are supporting the military. they ve been using the military as leverage to get other spending. we could have addressed this issue months ago and given the military the resources they need to accomplish the mission. to come on here and say they actually are supporters of the military, they haven t been. there was they want to see military spending depleted and they want us to pull out of very rough regions of the world iraq or afghanistan. we saw how well it worked. it was the rise of isis when barack obama pulled out and left a vacuum and you had people burning their enemies and beheading people. we have to be smart about our pollz. cutting the military is not smart policy with the rising threats in the world. jason: how do you answer the question that rand paul was out there saying look, republicans were opposed to these deficits when president obama was in place. now that they re donald trump we seem to be okay with a trillion dollar deficit next year. first of all you use growth numbers that are obama growth numbers and you use trump growth numbers those deficits won t be that big. again, that s the problem when chuck schumer is a big spender and leveraging the military for additional spending in non-military discretionary spending. that s the deal that had to be made. again, for me this is a tough vote but i side i had with the military. that s the most immediate threat. one last point. if we want to deal with that you have to deal with entitlements. they re the key to reducing the massive outflow in the government. until you get to that you won t address the massive deficit and debts. jason: thank you, i ll give you the last word, paul ryan the speaker said he wants to address the entitlement reform. is that something that you or the democrats think could get behind and support? i hope not. i feel as though jason: there is the problem ladies and gentlemen, that s the problem, i hope not. to suggest we ll address entitlements. that will be the problem. work requirements. jason: i have to go. for medicaid, simple. jason: coming up next we leave it to clint eastwood to throw all film making norms out the window. the real life heroes who stopped an isis terror attack is coming up next and you if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, little things can be a big deal. that s why there s otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it s a pill that treats psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, . with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don t use if you re allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. other side effects include upper respiratory tract infection and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you re pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. soi want you to pick a newr truck for your mom or dad, knowing that they could possibly pass it down to you one day. oh. cool. but before you decide, you should know that chevy silverados are the most dependable, longest lasting full-size pickups on the road. which means that ford f-150s are not. (giggles) which truck would you pick? the chevy. there you go. boom. that was obvious. plus it looks cooler. no doubt about it. now they know what to get me. a little to the left. 1, 2, 3, push! easy! easy! easy! (horn honking) alright! alright! we ve all got places to go! we ve all got places to go! washington crossing the delaware turnpike? surprising. what s not surprising? how much money sean saved by switching to geico. big man with a horn. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. i m trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®. jason: clint eastwood s newest film is defying all conventional movie making norms by using real-life heroes to play themselves. two americans who stopped an isis attack in france in 2015. we spoke with the stars of 15:17 to paris. i want to talk about this experience. it made international headlines. it threw you all into the world s consciousness. you and your friends are on this train. they are sleeping. but you are awake. what did you hear and what made you take action and wake them up? i was hanging out texting friends back home and two hours, three hours into the trip a heard a gunshot and breaking glass. i kind of put my head up. i wasn t sure if that s what i heard or not. i couldn t exactly define it at the time. and while i was thinking about that the train ran kind of past us, away from the noise and so that woke them up and we looked back to see what he was running from. a shirtless man with an ak47. we got behind the seats. spencer, get him and he took off. spencer, you take off down the middle of this train. what made you run at him? it was just we just wanted the live and pure survival. i caught a moment down the aisle where i saw him maybe either jam the gun or maybe the safety was on. all i knew he hadn t started shooting yet. i just saw it as a window of opportunity. it is either now or never. we are going to die either way. my motivator was them being life long friends of mine that it shut down my brain process and it was like once they jump into action i had to go help at that point. it was all in or nothing type situation. spencer, you grabbed this guy, a member of an isis cell with an ik47. that is not all he had. what happened when you tackled him? i was trying to grab the ak from him a little bit and practicing jujitsu at the time. we both stood up and put him in a choke and slammed myself against a window. he is on top of me at this point and pulled out a pistol. he tries to shoot me with that. there was no ammunition knit. alec runs up. gets the pistol. as soon as that pistol gets out of his hand he grabs a box cutter and starts cutting the back of my neck trying to slit my throat and comes across and slices my left thumb to the bone and servers my tendon and nerve. i saw the knife and him flailing around. i screamed he has a knife and kicked him off me and we all punched and kicked him and the fight went on. do you believe, alec, there was a divine hand in all of this in the way the events transpired? if you add up the odds of us being in the time and place and the circumstances that put us there and went towards us surviving it, that will be in the movie, too. but it is just to me too astronomical to be coincidence. if all this wasn t terrifying enough, anthony, you all decide we are going to approach clint eastwood with our book and story. he decides to do this film and casts you all as yourselves. this had to be a little intimidating having never acted before. you didn t do theater. never a school play or nothing. if he picked up the picture he wants to do our story, we thought that was great. three weeks before we start shooting we thought we were meeting the actors playing us and he is like do you mind reenacting things for us on camera. he says it again and he said what do you mean? you sound like you are asking us to be in the movie. sure, why not. why don t you just do it? you spent a lot of time with him on the set. we spent a lot of time with him on set. he worked longer days than we did and we spent time with him hanging out getting food, getting drinks. we even would work out with him from time to time. that s one of my favorite memories of him. spencer and i were talking smack to each other about how many dips we do could do and clint comes in that s nothing. when i was 75 i could do 25 dips. we re like all right. let s see what you have now. he is 87. he hops up on the dip bar and knocks out 10 body weight dips like nothing. he still has it. he is a tough guy. he gave us a lot more jams and showed us a lot more about the industry and process than he had to to make the picture. we all want to continue to pursue acting for sure. you will continue this? absolutely. he blessed us with a great opportunity and like anthony was saying kind of raised us up in this world a little bit and we want to see what else we can do with it. what do you want people to take away from this experience given that isis has proven itself that this is the kind of attacks they plan on enacting on the public from now on. even those these two were off duty servicemen at the time. we were three ordinary guys in that ordinary people will watch the film. we don t have anything special. us three it s we were put in an extraordinary situation and hope people take that theme from the movie. if they find themselves in a situation with a terrorist or maybe any obstacle they re facing in their life that they have the ability to do something extraordinary themselves. if they do it together. most definitely. thanks for being here. pleasure. that s an amazing story. i love it when ordinary americans do extraordinary things. 15:17 to paris opens nationwide today. up next strange encounters at the olympic opening ceremonies. vice president pence comes awkwardly close to the sister of north korea s kim jong-un. of north khow do you win -un. at business?

south korea. mike pence watched the opening ceremonies from the sister of kim jong-un. that comes shortly after pence delivered a tough new warning for the hermit kingdom. our military, japanese self-defense forces and allies in south korea, all of our allies across the region are fully prepared. to defend our nations and take what action is necessary to defend our homeland. jason: let s get an assessment of the current situation from former u.n. ambassador john bolton. thank you for joining us. what did you make of the proximity of these two people, and what about vice president pence s comments? what does that really mean and what is he trying to signal to north korea? well, the geography is the south korea s president box at the opening ceremony arranged by the south koreans. they wanted to highlight the fact that north korea was participating with them. i think this whole thing has been a propaganda charade by north korea but that s not the view of the south korean president. in the first row he was sitting next to vice president pence and on pence s left with abe of japan. you the south korea, united states and japan. i think the vice president was correct not to shake the hand of the dictator s representatives from north korea. they didn t seem to want to press the point. so much the better. it is awkward and happens a lot at the u.n. i think the vice president handled it correctly. on his comments about doing what s necessary to protect the united states and our allies, i think that s extremely important. it leaves open the possibility of preemptive military force against the north s nuclear weapons program. we aren t looking to do that. i wish we didn t even have to consider it as an option. 25 years of failure to stop north korea has brought us to the point where it has to be looked at very seriously. jason: what is the significance of kim jong-un s sister. what is her role and the significance of her presence in south korea? well, she and the president of north korea, nominally the highest official in the government, constitute a pretty high-level delegation and the fact that she is related to kim jong-un, i think is intended to show the seriousness of north korea s effort to accommodate the south. this is all blue smoke and mirrors. and i think it is something that the north koreans have done before in prior olympics. not in south korea itself. but while all this is going on, their nuclear program, their ballistic missile program are continuing. it is a misdirection play to get people to focus on how nice it is that the north and south korean s women hockey team are playing as one team. nothing to do to stop north korea s efforts to bring reconciliation between the two koreas. i think the vice president this is a very delicate, difficult diplomatic assignment he has. to show solidarity with south korea and japan. not to give the north koreans an untrammeled propaganda field at the pyeongchang olympics and i think he carried it out well. there is a report this evening while the opening ceremony was going on, what you ve just showed on the screen there, somebody was hacking the servers of the south korean organizers of the pyeongchang games. who do you think that might have been? this is the kind of fooling around the north korea does all the time. it may seem sort of silly and childish but when you are talking about a country ruled by this bizarre regime striving to get nuclear weapons that strange behavior is worth worrying about. jason: thank you, ambassador. we appreciate it. bret baier made a huge splash at one of the biggest golf tournaments of the year. . and those who embrace it. the future is for the unafraid. before we go, a big shout out to bret baier who was red hot at the links at the pro-am golf tournament at pebble beach. he is paired with pro russell henry and lighting up the course. amazing shots from bret. he hits a shot. ends up on the deck and he takes it. he doesn t take the penalty, he takes the shot. puts it in the bunker. he is up, down, he actually makes it unbelievable shot right out of something like the movie of tin cup. they are tidy think it s for fifth place at this point. bret who played college golf is really good. his team is in contention and we wish him nothing but the best. it s been an honor and privilege to host this show. i thank laura ingraham fo [national anthem] [national anthem] [national anthem] [national anthem] [national anthem] [national anthem] [national anthem]
phillip brucker said that the north korea breakthrough potential upped the stakes on the mike pompphaoeubmike pompeo. they may be playing with the one opening we have with north korea. do you agree or disagree with rucker in. heidi heitcamp got on or board with his confirmation. it will be close. there s some sense there is an issue where if you oppose pompeo you open yourself up to attacks. is and some of these red states is not supporting the president on foreign policy during this key moment. a lot of people a lot of democrats were forced on thursday to grudgingly acknowledge sort of admiration or respect for pompeo going to meet with kim jong-un over easter. it didn t move a lot of their votes. as you saw a bunch of the democrats on the senate foreign realizes committee, they still had to reiterate their opposition is. anna palmer from politico, what do you think is is the story of the week? i think one of the most interesting stories is u.n. ambassador nikki haley asserting herself and said, no, i wasn t confused, i believed the policy would strengthen u.s. sanctions against russia. it really matters in terms of her solidifying her position and saying i m not going to be beat around by this white house as many of the other principles and cabinet secretaries have been. nikki haley had quite the week, this controversy aside, she determined a public profile that is exceptional in public politics. do you agree with that, anna? yeah. she has continued to elevate herself as a serious player and the ability to be close to the trump white house but also on on the world stage be a real effective voice for this country. and i think you already started to hear this talk of, you know, capabilities persist, the pentagon has said. and then you ve got isis. in syria it looked like a victory kind of was on the cusp of taking place. now we are seeing a resergens. hope, let me ask you a question. did we get any knowledge on of whether or not the s-400 was used, whether or not the russian system actually engaged any of our missiles? what s your reporting on that? so russia is sort of using this as a marketing opportunity for the s-400, f-35 killer missile. the pentagon, though, that be unequivocal. russian defenses were not employed. and syrian defenses were in effective. 6th single one of the weapons reached their target. what do you think is the story of the week? i agree with james, north korea is the biggest story of the week. i m going to take ape different tact, though. we touched on heidi heitcamp. it is app example of congress and the white house and republicans trying to put some of these democratic incumbents on defense here. heidi heitcamp supporting pompeo s nomination. a few other democrats have not come on out yet and supported her. joe donnelly, joe manchin and others. republicans are trying to tighten the excuse on these folks and put them on defense ahead of 2018. i think that s a big story. but pompeo going to north korea i think will really elevate him. we re going to wait to see what happens on that if they actually end up going straight to a floor vote without him passing through committee. that will be a big question. it is a tightening of the screws on the 2018 candidates. you haven t seen foreign policy become a big campaign issue this year. we re starting to see a little bit of it. al, i can t imagine a democrat up for reelection wanting to spike the north korean opportunity. i think there will be a lot more votes than heidi heitcamp. the president said rand has always been with me more. he voted for john kerry in the foreign relations committee. does rand paul pass to get to the floor without any fill pwuflter nonsense that chuck schumer has been muttering about? i m not sure. i m very is skeptical to think he will. he didn t hold up the omnibus negotiations or the final passage of the bill. that was a shift intact for him. usually he is someone who doesn t even up caring about these types of things and will do what he wants. i would be surprised if he votes for pompeo to move him to the floor. but, you know, it wouldn t totally surprise me, but it would surprise me. let me play a clip if i can of the president talking about russia with prime minister abe. as far as the investigation, nobody has ever been more transparent than i have instructed our lawyers, be totally transparent. as far as the two gentlemen you told me about, they ve been saying i m going to get rid of them for the last three months, four months, five months. and they re still here. james, they re still here. he is talking about mr. mueller, mr. rosenstein and the russian investigation. do they go anywhere this week? what s your reporting on that? well, i think trump has sort of backed off a little bit from last week. he is more concerned about the michael co hen raid of his lawyer s office than he is about what mueller is doing right now. hiring routedy giuliani as part of his legal defense team. giuliani saying i think we can wrap this up in a couple of weeks. giuliani touting his long relationship with mueller and the president saying he can be a broker in some ways. people are still on edge. the president could move against rosenstein. he wouldn t get directly against mueller. you could see a scenario where jeff sessions left. whoever replaces him through the vacancies act would end up there. rosenstein assured trump that he is not a target of mueller s investigation and that that assuaged some of the president s concerns. nationally, i think a lot of liberals are still very on edge. there was a report from pittsburgh that the pittsburgh police department is preparing for potential riots in the streets. al weaver, very quick. what to you? do you hear about any changes at the department of justice? the president seemed to indicate no, that s not going to happen. what are you hearing? i m not hearing anything on that end. there is nervous senators up on capitol hill. tillis, graham have legislation out. that will help protect mueller. i don t see that going anywhere. mitch mccouple threw cold water on that this week. it remains status quo. all right. i ll be back with the panel on the most important person not named trump this week. stay with us. your hair is so soft! did you use head and shoulders two in one? i did mom. wanna try it? yes. it intensely moisturizes your hair and scalp and keeps you flake free. manolo? look at my soft hair. i should be in the shot now too. try head and shoulders two in one. alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. .and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i ll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you. with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis? how do you chase what you love do what i did. ask your doctor about humira. it s proven to help relieve pain and protect joints from further irreversible damage in many adults. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira has been clinically studied for over 20 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. ready for a new chapter? talk to your rheumatologist about humira. this is humira at work. time for our feature most important person not named trump. for me it is senator joe is mansion. we need one democrat other than heidi heitcamp to say i m voting for mike pompeo so we can put this silliness behind us. it is far too important for the democrats to be playing partisan politics. who for you is the most important person not named trump? i think it is robert mueller. all eyes continuing to focus on where is his investigation going. by he default, rudy giuliani is my number two pick. trump picking him as his lawyer was certainly a wild card this week. it has been a bad look for law enforcement with the james comey book tour going off the rails. and andrew muck cabccabe. it s stunning at a time in politics where there is rare lu a void of the back and forth partisanship and bickering, robert mueller, throughout this entire investigation, has stayed sigh and i think, because of that, has been able to be a figure that is above the fray. doesn t punch below his weight here. and i think that gives him even more standing with the american public and particularly with senators with trump potentially trying to move him. i agree. i continue to hope the president does nothing with the special counsel. hope speck, who do you think? i have an off capitol hill pick. mine is tammie jo schultz who piloted southwest flight 1380. everyone has heard her directing ground control as she brings the flight in, tphefbgs of of steel. she was one of the navy s first ever fighter pilots in the 1980s. she is starting this conversation about the possibilities for women in that field. still just 2.4% in naval aviation. is and martha mcsally running. a-10 pilot. another one of these extraordinary female aviators. al weaver, who is yours? i m going to cheat the rules and take two. kevin mccarthy and nancy pelosi. two california lawmakers who are both at the top of the caucuses outside of paul ryan. they are both leading with a myriad of questions surrounding them. the questions surround can he get to the 218 if the republicans hold the house in november. both he and pelosi have sharks swarming. the freedom caucus, they are looking into what they should do on this end. and seven months between now and then. for pelosi, you know, it s all a matter of will she stay or will she go in november. you have steny hoyer possibly moving up the ladder a little bit. i m going to take those two. it s interesting. jim jordan is sitting there wondering if my name comes up. the ohio congressman expected to challenge muck kaerbgt. mccarthy the clear front-runner at this point. i go michael cohen. he is a big question mark. not just personal attorney. we found out who his other clients were. open public speculation. the lawyer who has worked for trump for years, who negotiated both of his divorces, jay goldberg told the president in a phone call a week ago he should be careful when talking to cohen because cohen could be wearing a wire. he wouldn t be willing to do hard jail time to protect trump. cohen is under investigation by the feds separate and apart from the mueller probe for wire fraud, bank fraud, and campaign finance violations. so he potentially has real legal liability there. he probably knows a lot. what exactly, we can t know. that is a big question mark. that s something that really is keeping trump up at night. if michael cohen flips, as has been speculated is and gossiped, he could say anything and become the key witness against anyone. of course people will be awake at night. i want to close by playing one more trump bit with prime minister abe. he strikes at charges of collusion with this defense. there s been nobody tougher on russia than president donald trump. between building up the military, between creating tremendous vast amounts of oil, we raised billions and billions extra in nato. there has been nobody tougher than me. nobody tougher than trump. james hohmann, does that work? nikki haley announced on the sunday shows there were going to be new sanctions. trump didn t want those. they walked them back. and i think hawks feel like trump could be a lot tougher. i don t think it works on on capitol hill. it works with the base who doesn t care deeply about this issue. hope, 700 billion this year. 720 billion next year. a huge tkfpbgs bill. does he have a point here, he is tougher on russia than president obama was? we have seen him expel russian diplomats, impose lines of sanctions. there are things he has done. he really laid down the gauntlet the other day. we haven t seen him take further action. the ball is in his court on this one. when we come back, we will talk to my panel. and the safey for most parallel parallel parking job goes to.
