Talks about the immigration debate. Plus at the one year mark the time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action. Where does President Trump stand . New findings from a brand new poll with insight and analysis from the power house round table. Well break down the politics, smoke out the spin, the facts that matter this week. Good morning. At the stroke of midnight on anniversary of trumps inaugural the government shut down. The president says democrats did that on purpose to spoil his party. Democrats insist that trump does not know how to close a deal. Many of you at home might agree with louisiana senator john kennedy who said this on friday our country was founded by geniuses but its being run by idiots. So far the Trump Administration doing what it can to limit the impact. Many National Parks and monuments like the statue of liberty closed saturday. A preview of the disruption to come. Our brand new abc News Washington post poll Shows Americans more inclined to blame President Trump and the republicans than the democrats by the 20 point margin. At the one year mark the president s approval at the lowest of any president in modern times. Sentiments playing out in womens marches in hundreds of cities all across the countries. One bright spot, american have the most positive views on the economy in two decades. 38 give trump the credit, 50 credit the obama administration. Lets start with jonathan karl. Jon, youre at the white house this morning. Not a lot of activity there yesterday. No meetings between the president and congressional leaders whats the latest . Reporter george, right now its a stand off that does not lend itself to a break through. The democrats saying they will not vote to reopen the government until they have an agreement on immigration. Republicans are saying they wont even negotiate on immigration until the government is reopen. Amidst all the finger pointing and rekrim nations senator schumer the democrat leader and the president are close to a deal on the underlying issue on immigration. Im told the president has expressed a willingness to have a deal that would be legal status for the d. R. E. A. M. Ers in exchange for full funding of his border wall. Thats 20 billion over seven years. He would do that even if he had no change to the visa lottery, no change on chained migration. Ill told the president would be willing to do that without that. Further, george, im told from democrat sources that senator schumer is open to such a deal, even that full funding, something approaching 20 billion over seven years. We have the outline of a significant deal that would make many conservative unhappy. They care about the immigration prioriti priorities, many of them more than the wall. And something that would make democrats unhappy because they never wanted to fund the border wall. In the meantime, jon, theres movement to reopen the government before tomorrow morning, opening the government until february 8th in terms for promises there will be votes on immigration. Its unclear whether this would fly. Theres a vote scheduled for 1 00 this morning. Thats where you could see a break through on that. Then monday morning as the government is supposed to be in normal time reopening. Thats where people could feel the shut down. If it is shut down, people will sense the true cost of a government shut down. Right now its not clear whether the shortened extension is going to fly. How does the white house think its playing for them . I was struck by something eric trump said on fox. Listen. I honestly i think its a good thing for us, judge. People see through it. They see a year incredible with nothing but the best for our country, America First policies. Theyre happy with where we are as a nation. Everybody inside the white house that confident about the shut down politics . Not really, george. The dynamic that got us here the democrats calculated it would hurt the white house and republicans more than them. Republicans calculated the opposite. My sense talking to white house officials, they believe the democrats will pay a bigger price. They dont necessarily think its a big win for them. The president himself is less convinced that this is actually a winning issue. Jon karl, thanks. Lets bring in the president s spoi point man on capitol hill, marc short. Thank you for joining us. Lets start out with what jon karl was talking about, the meeting friday between President Trump and senator schumer where they had the outlines of an agreement. Are we close . George, thanks for having me back. I think whats befuddling us is we think were making process. The president outlines four priorities in helping to solve the daca issue. We want to do this too. These are people age 16 to 36 with work permits. They dont have any criminal background. Theyre here being productive. We want to solve Border Security and end chain migration and the visa lottery program. In two of those main functions were seeing democrats move on the Border Security issue which is what Border Security agents said this is what we need. I think youve shown the white house showing an openness to expand that population. Democrats said there are other people that should be part of the daca population. Weve shown a willingness to consider that. We feel like were making progress. Whats befuddling why are we shutting down the government . Everything thats in the bill is things that democrats have asked for. On the specifics of that deal our understanding was that senator schumer offered 20 billion over seven years on the border wall in return for no changes in the chain migration and visa lottery. Is that something you can sell to republicans in the congress . George, the problem with that is were back in the same position in a few years. If we dont solve the chain migration visa lottery were back here in a couple years. Lets keep in mind the two terror attacks that recently happened in the United States the pipe bomber came in through chain migration. The terrorist who ran over people in new york came through the visa lottery program. These are programs people want ended. Why are we delaying closing those programs for future debate . We need to make sure we dont end up back at the table having the same conversation. We want all these issues solved right now. So thats the official position of the white house. It seemed according to senator schumer that the president was intrigued by that initial deal. In the meantime there werent any meetings with the president at the white house. That meeting with senator schumer was the last had. I want to show something the president himself said in 2013 during the last government shutdown. You have to get everybody in a room. You have to be a leader. The president has to lead. You have to be nice and be angry and be wild and cajole and do all sorts of things. You have to get a deal. The government shut down at midnight on friday. Why didnt the president have the leaders at the white house . He did. He had a Bipartisan Group of members to discuss these issues. Thats a lifetime ago in politic. Were facing democrats taking an implausible position saying were going to deny funding to 2 million troops, tens of thousands Border Patrol agents. Thats an impossible place in which to negotiate. Chuck schumer in 2013 said its like somebody coming into your house, taking your wife and children hostage and trying to negotiate the price of your house. Thats exactly what hes doing right now. Bottom line youre not going to move at all until the democrats say theyre willing to open the government without consider changes in daca. I dont think thats true. I think youve seen us move throughout the negotiation on immigration. You also have seen us the bill being the amendment being offered is a change from four week to three week continuing resolution which is what the democrats asked for. We have been yielding and showing flexibility to say lets find a deal to make sure our troops and Border Patrol agents arent denied payment. The democrats seem unwilling to even accept that offer. I know a Bipartisan Group of senators are working on a deal to extend government funding until february 8th in return for a promise from the leadership and the president that they would get votes on immigration deals in both houses. Is the president willing to make that promise . Theres a bill thats been introduced to the house that we hope gets a vote. The senate doesnt have a bill thats been introduced. The democrats say we need to rally behind the durbin, flake, grand position. Were happy to open that debate whenever they went. We were happy to have that debate when general ken went to congress and said we need a solution. Were not afraid of a time table. We want to have the right resolution. How worried are you that this is going to come back to hurt republicans . You saw our poll coming in. Americans more inclined to blame republicans and the president for the shut down than democrats. I think eric trump was right. The reality is democrats are forcing this shut down because they look at whats happening over the last year. They see the record tax cut. They see the repeal of individual mandate, the roll back of regulations, the Record Number of Circuit Court judges and the Supreme Court justice confirmed. And they see the president making a difference. The base of their party is holding them captive. They put themselves in a box. How do you get out of a situation where youre denying funding to our troops and Border Agents . Meanwhile this ad coming out last night. Its pure evil. President trump is right. Build the wall, deport criminals, stop ilLegal Immigration now. Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal manhattans. President trump will fix our border and keep our families safe. Im donald trump and i approve this message. Democrats complicit in murder . George, i think the reality is there are safety concerns. One of the reports that came out last week theres over 2,500 on terror watch list trying to get into our country each and every year. Many are coming in through these loopholes. Why arent we trying to fix them . Thats over seven per day trying to get into the United States. Yet were not doing anything to fix the immigration law. Theres plenty of studies that show immigrants dont commit crimes higher than other negotiations. Arent you worried that ad is going to poison the well for negotiations . I think whats poisoning the well is the decision to shut down the government and not supporter troops. Marc short, thanks for your time. Were joined now by dick durbin. Thank you for joining us, senator. You heard marc short right there talking about the ad saying the democrats could be complicit in murder. I wish marc would contact ed gillespie. He tried that theme and it didnt work. The americans werent accepting immigrants are criminals and we need to deport the d. R. E. A. M. Ers. We need a reasonable approach that is mindful of our National Security number one, but embraces a basic value in america. Were a diverse nation and proud of it. What about the deal senator schumer purportedly offered to the president , full funding of the border wall in return for no changes in chain migration, no changes in the visa lottery. You heard marc short suggest that wasnt good enough. I can tell you you can imagine the frustration of senator schumer, invited to the white house on friday by the president for a luncheon that president for a luncheon that involved john kelly, mike lynch, senator schumer and the president. It went on for almost two hours. There was a basic understanding at the end of it. It is true that Chuck Schumer made what i consider to be an important concession. Said yes well go forward with the wall as long as we do this in a responsible fashion. He had a substantial 20 billion . Im not going to quote numbers. I dont think thats my place. I can tell you it was a substantial commitment to the president. The president embraced it. Chuck came back to the hill and i said i think were going to avoid the shut down. I think were ready to go. Two hours later a call from the white house said the deal is off. Were not going to stand by this at all. How can you negotiate with the president under those circumstances . He agrees to move forward facetoface and two hours pulls the plug. Where are things now . Is that the democrats bottom line, no changes in the chain migration, no changes in the lottery . What i tried to do with four other senators was put together a reasonable bipartisan compromise when it came to this issue. Remember, george, the issue of the d. R. E. A. M. Ers and daca was created by President Trump when he eliminated the program. We didnt dream this up as something to insert in the conversation. They will start losing at 1,000 a day, the daca young people had on march 5th because of President Trumps decision. Were trying to meet the challenge he sent us. He told us im going to get rid of the executive order and pass the law. Thats what were trying to do. Is it right to hold the government hostage . Senator schumer said this in 2013 at the last government shut down. Its like this. Someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage and then says lets negotiate over the price of your house. We could do the same thing on immigration. We believe strongly on immigration reform. We can say were shutting down the government and not raising the debt ceiling until you pass reform. It would be government al chaos. Arent you all creating chaos now . Youve got to concede one thing. The republicans are in control of this government. They control the white house, the senate, the house by nominations sent to the court they basically control the Supreme Court. Were in a minority position. The republicans control what comes to the floor on the house and senate. In the senate with the 60 vote margin theres a need for bipartisan ship. Thats all we asked for. Sit down at the table and let us work this out in a bipartisan fashion. Thats what Lindsey Graham and i presented to the president on january 11th. Thats what senator schumer did friday. A bipartisan approach to solve this problem. Were still ready and willing to move forward. There are bipartisan talks going on around keeping the ntmernn pe ogo 8th in return that you get votes on your bipartisan deal in the house and senate. Is that coming together . Will the government open tomorrow . I cant answer that directly. Your premise is correct. There are bipartisan conversations going on right now. I have met as senator schumer has with the leaders, democrats and republicans in good faith trying to find Common Ground and put this behind us. At the end of the day the president has to step up and lead in this conversation. He has to be willing to accept yes for an answer. Thats the break down problem weve had both on the daca issue, which the president created, as well as the over all issues such as Childrens Health insurance, Community Health care clinics, funding for our military. All these things require president ial leadership. Sounds like you dont think the president is in charge of his own government. I think hes in charge. You cant have an agreement at 2 00 and at 4 00 saying its off. Thats what happened friday. Chuck schumer went and made a significant concession for this quest he has for the wall on the border with mexico. Despite that effort, two hours later the president s people call back and say its over. We have a enough tweet from the president just in the last hour. Great to see how hard republicans are fighting for our military and safety at our border. Dems want Illegal Immigrants to pour in our nation unchecked. If stale mate continues republicans should go to 51 Nuclear Option and vote on real time options. No c. R. S. Your response . Senator Claire Mccaskill offered that there would be no stopping the payment of the men and women in the military. Senator mcconnell the republican leader objected. Thats of record. We dont want to diminish our troops. Lets get this done on a bipartisan basis. We produced a bipartisan approach to many of these issues. If the president and leaders in congress sit down with us, we can resolve this quickly. What about the Nuclear Option, doing away with the filibuster . That would be the end of the senate as it was devised and created going back to our founding fathers. We have to acknowledge a respect for the minority. Thats what the senate tries to do in its composition and procedure. Senator durbin, thanks for your time. Thanks, george. Two key voices from the immigration debate.

Back now with two key members of the house on opposite sides of the immigration debate. Luis gut gutierrez and mark meadows. Congressman gutierrez, let me begin with you. Cnn has a poll that americans think its more important to avoid a shut down, 56 , versus continuing daca, 34 . Are you worried at all about democrats over playing their hand . Let me start by saying this, look, i think the wall is a monumental waste of tax payer money. Its to build a monument to stupidity and its just idiotic. Having said that, if thats what its going to take in order to put 800,000 young men and women in this country, d. R. E. A. M. Ers, and put them in a safe place and put them on a course to full integration, if thats what the hostage takers of the d. R. E. A. M. Ers, if thats their ransom call, i say pay it. I thought mexico was supposed to pay for the wall. Next november well deal with the kidnappers at the election. Lets reopen the government. Thats what the president said. He said i want to wall. As despicable as it is, as hurtful as it is to people like me and others in this country, were ready to sacrifice that so the d. R. E. A. M. Ers can have freedom in this country. 20 billion that mexico was supposed to pay . Thats exactly the point. 20 billion. A president of the United States that said mexicans are murders, drug dealers and we got to get rid of them. We got to build a wall. The conversation has always been the democrats are not into Border Security. All right. You want to build this monument to stupidity . You want to waste you insist upon wasting 20 billion . I say free the d. R. E. A. M. Ers. They have taken them hostage, george. What am i supposed to do . I asked them to sign up. I filled out forms by the thousands with them. Its my responsibility to put them in a safe place. George, its really not. You know what this demonstrates, its really not about Border Security. The government should be open. People like i and others in the Democrat Party dick durbin offered them the money for the wall. Schumer offered the money for the wall. You heard marc short i have been clear about it. You heard marc short in the program. He said that wasnt good enough. He said they also needed changes in the chain migration, the lottery system. Are you willing to accept them in return for freeing the daca hostages as you put it . Heres my point to you what it reveals to us the president of the United States has said he said this on numerous occasions. I want a wall. You get the d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Now they move the goals. Heres what theyre saying to us, george, we have to be very clear. We are going to fight this. They want to end Legal Immigration to the United States. They say lets build a wall to keep us safe. They say lets build a wall so our workers dont have to compete with illegals. Then they end Legal Immigration. They say the lottery system, lets end it. Thats Legal Immigration to the United States. George, what they want is the following listen very carefully to what theyre saying. When they say chain migration, which is something offensive to me to use that word. Its about family reunification. Its about a mom bringing their children and children bringing their moms, husbands and wives. Those are the visas theyre going after. Lets be absolutely clear. What does my ability to bring my brother to the United States, what does the ability that i have to bring my children to this country or my children to bring me have to do with Border Security, have to do with keeping this country safe . They want to end Legal Immigration. You know what, george, we have to fight that. Its the essence of who we are as a nation. Its core to what it is to be american. We would not be a nation without immigrants and an immigration policy. Congressman, you were at the white house with general kelly. Did he really say the president was uninformed on the wall . Yes. I had a meeting. I was sitting right next to him, next to mr. Kelly. He said the president of the United States when he was campaigning made promises that were not fully informed. I wrote it down. I wrote it down. It was so astonishing to me. I immediately wrote it down. He said was not fully informed. Is that uninformed . I heard the president was not fully informed. He said ive educated president and the president has evolved on the issue. When i asked general kelly whats a wall . He said it could be the inhospitable terrain. It could be Border Patrol agents. It could be drones. Lets take it off the table. The America Public has heard this president say time and time again he wants a wall. As repugnant as tz it is to me ac as idiotic as it is to george, this debate has to be about men and women, 800,000 young people. Im going to put them first. I got it. If i have to muddy my hands to do it so they live a clean life lets do it. Congressman thanks. Lets bring that to mark meadows. You heard the congressman right there. Willing to trade what he calls an idiotic wall in return for freeing the daca. Is that good enough . What this is all about were in the middle of a shut down talking about immigration. Is this an amnesty shut down . I find it interesting that schumer said what he did in your lead up to this particular show about immigration and the fact that shutting it down over immigration is chaotic, yet here we are on that subject today. Let me answer that question. The president has been clear it is about Border Security. Border security is not just what we do at the southern border. Its about visas, chain migration and interior enforcement. He put forth three things he would do in exchange for making sure Daca Recipients dont face deportation. We were making good progress. The president called me a number of times saying he wants a solution for the Daca Recipients. Here we are trying to use a tactic to force the president s hand. I can tell you the offers that have been made to date, whether the ones that you reported or others, are not serious offers in terms of stopping the genesis of what has created this problem in the first place. In fact, the New York Times reported the president spoke to you after his meeting with senator schumer. We heard senator durbin said earlier in the program that the president at 2 00 agreed. By 4 00 they called the senate and said the deal is off. Did you convince the president to reject that schumer deal . No. The president is the president of the United States. He makes his own decisions. Any suggestion that im convincing the president to go one way or the other greatly exaggerates my influence. I ily deal. There is no deal. You were talking about schumer offering 20 billion over seven years. He cant do that. He cant obligate the future congress. Even if he made that offer, he cant deliver on the offer hes putting forward. When we look at this, call it what it is. This is a tactic. My good friend luis was talking about Holding People hostage. This is the democrats trying to hold our military hostage for an issue that has been with us for decades. I think we need to resolve it. The president wants to resolve it. You dont do that in the middle of a shut down. You sure youre not being overly modest about your influence . Did the president promise you you he wouldnt sign an immigration agreement you wont sign on to . No. He hasnt said that. I know that has been reported. He said he wants to deal with this particular issue. We wants a deal tom cotton and i can support. Its not just the two of us. Its a Broad Spectrum across our conference, a bipartisan deal. He wants to do that. When i was in the oval office with him a week or so ago he said he wanted to make sure the tom cottons and mark meadows of the world can work with the Lindsey Grahams and dick durbins of the world. Thats before dick went out and soured the negotiations a week ago. I can tell you that hes committed to getting this done. We need to go back to the negotiations. We can do that if the Senate Democrats in the next 24 hours vote to open the Government Back up, the negotiations will start again. If your viewers are Daca Recipients and theyre concerned about being deported, theres a deal to be made, but would have to open the government first. Opening the government the deal that moderate senators are talking about on both sides is extending the government until february 8th for a hard commitment for a vote on the deal. Are you willing to go along with that . Im not willing to. Listen, i wanted a whole lot of things in this continuing resolution. The president called me from air force one and said im asking you to stand down on two of your requests that youre wanting to put in here. The question i have for senator schumer is is the whole cadillac tax that is penalizing Union Workers does he want that out of there . The chip reauthorization that helps 9 million children, does he want that out of there . Theres nothing in this bill they oppose. Theyre using it as leverage to help them negotiate a deal that perhaps helps Illegal Immigrants to our country. Weve got to find a deal. Im willing to engage even with my good friend luis. Well sit down as soon as the government opens. We can try to find a solution. Today this is about funding or government, our military, our veterans, our Border Security agents. I find it is a tactic we should not be using to truly provide that leverage. Sounds like were far from a deal. Congressman, thank you for your time. Thank you, george. Round table standing by.

The crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential, this america carnage stops right here and stops right now. Has it only been one year since President Trumps inaugural . Well talk about his impact. Joined by matthew dowd, julie pace, mark lauder, Meghan Mccain and karen finny. Lets talk about the shut down. This is a different kind of shut down. In past shuts, in 2013 and 1996 one side really wanted the shut down. This time thats not the case. Matt, both sides feel relatively comfortable where they are right now. You played some tapes during some of the other interviews. You could play a series of tapes theres so much hypocrisy in all sides. In the end the president is the president. He has the house and senate. To me this shows fundamentally about washington and this president is a complete abject failure of any kind of inspirational leadership. This deal could be done. If the five of us got together, by the time this left this table we could have had a deal because of what the American Public wants. The idea weve come to situation where we cant get past what 80 the country wants shows a failure in leadership. Julia, according to the reporting from senator schumer on friday it did seem like the president was reception to what he was feeling, but hes hemmed in on the house side. This is the great frustration of democrats and republicans in the president s party. They feel like that go to the president with these suggestions. They go to the white house to meetings. He is open to a large deal that would cover spending, Border Security and daca. Then something happens. Either staffers who take a harder line on immigration get to him. He starts watching cable News Coverage and hearing how his base might feel if he makes a daca deal and he backs away. That has made this a really difficult negotiation. Republicans dont want to send something to the president he wont sign. Theyre never quite sure how to hour what that looks like. Inside the white house there seems to be division. We have two separate issues. We have the daca disagreements and immigration disagreements. The government has been shut down over this. Those are two completely spla y separate issues. Theres nothing in the bill that democrats and republicans dont support. Then you also have the fundamental principal. Back in 2013 president obama called it extortion and said he was going to fight that kind of extortion for his success ors in office. Here we are with a government shut down over a nonrelated policy issue. Senator schumer clearly switched positions on that. Worried at all this idea the democrats are supporting Illegal Immigrants will start the cut . No. Heres the thing, lets take a step back and remember how we got here. We got here because we dont have a budget. We got here because the republicans control everything. They couldnt pass a budget. Weve come down to the buyer and basic deadline. Its President Trump who ended the daca program and said congress fix it. We could have had a deal a week or so ago and avoided all this. Part of problem this erratic nature of the president seems to be why we cant seem to get a deal. As they were saying they thought they had a deal and then it turns out did general kelly walk in the room who is maybe the real president on this one and said no we cant accept that deal. Are they going to be able to work it out in the house with the republicans . At the end of the day, when you control everything this is historic. One Party Controls everything and they cannot get a deal done. This is the guy whos supposed to be the art of the deal. Whauz guess whats going on . There does appear to be a growing group of democrats and republicans in the senate want a deal. This is a lose lose situation all across the board for democrats and republicans. Its as simple as when youre preventing the troops from being able to watch championship football no american will get behind it. Democrats are trying to force daca negotiations while attaching it to this spending bill. Its interesting where we have President Trump who ran on the hard line that mexicans are rapists and criminals. Now he seems to be hedging in the middle on daca. Its something that surprised me a lot. The fact democrats cant come to the middle is shocking to me. I think democrats have come to the middle. Again, how we got here republicans wasted their time on a tax bill that a majority of americans say benefit the wealthy. Its not very popular. They wasted a lot of times on trying to repeal the Affordable Care act which the majority of americans oppose. Now theyre wasting their time instead of trying to get a deal theyre talking about kids. Does it surprise you when you see Chuck Schumer talking about chaos in this scenario and the clip you played earlier about the hypocrisy for democrats on this . When i see eric trump saying i think this is good for us, i do question the motives. I think they may think politically this is a good thing. If you look at the people marching no one thinks this is politically a good thing. That is what eric trump said. In the end its a pox on everybody. Meghan is right. It hurts the party in power. Thats right. Im sure theres a hundred other crazy things that are going to happen along the way. Only 100 . I was thinking about some of the things the president has said. One of the things he said i alone can fix this. It seems i alone with blow this up. Without the president the deal would be done. Without the president in the middle of this democrats and republicans came together. Is that exactly true . Im still stuck on this. Julia, let me bring this to you. I still cant believe he offered this, if he indeed offered it. Let me bring this to you, full funding for the wall, if that is true, after a year of President Trump saying mexico is going to pay for the wall . It is stunning. You heard representative gutierrez say well pay for the wall. Mexico wont have to pay for it. Thats a Pretty Amazing position for democrats to be taking. Theyre doing it because they feel on the daca issue theyre on solid ground. Democrats disagree with this point publicly. Theyre looking at the politics right now. Theyre looking at the fact this is an 80 issue. 87. They look at the fact liberal democrats are the most motivated voting group right now. They look at these marches. They dont want to take a position on daca that dampens that enthusiasm. Wouldnt the wall be a big win for the president . Absolutely. Why not take it . I think hes going to take it. Can you also get the chain migration and visa lottery . The five democrats who voted to keep the government open all moderate democrats from states the president won. They know the politics back home trying to explain why they shut down the government. Will those numbers grow during the day to day . I dont think so. They control everything. I believe in the 2018 election its going to be republicans the Republican Party is going to have to explain why they deserve to stay in charge. Not just was of the way this goes down because, again the dysfunction listen, i agree its bad for both. Again, you make the argument you controlled everything and you still couldnt get a deal and still couldnt get a budget. Democrats tried to say lets do funding for the military. Mcconnell shut it down. Republicans spent so much time pushing policy that is are so unpopular. I think thats why schumer probably knew he could make that appeal. I know were talking about the politics. To me the morality of this thing is awful. The morality of whats going on. We have 800,000 kids who were given a promise by our government. Thats right. They were given a promise. Were renigging on the promise. Not only we have the military suffering, but also the cdc is suffering in the midst of a flu crisis and a symbolism that you mentioned, the statue liberty and ellis island is shut down. If that doesnt tell you about the lack of moral leadership, it should. Thats why i dont think theres going to be much tolerance. Kind of a metaphor it happens on a weekend of the anniversary of President Trumps inauguration. Were a year in, meghan. Historic low Approval Ratings. Whats interesting to me hes Still Holding on to his base intentionally. I know anecdotal evidence doesnt go too far. I have spent a lot of time in arizona and you cant really go anywhere without seeing someone in a maga hat. It doesnt matter what he does. It doesnt matter what salacious information comes out about his personal life. Theyre going to stick with him. The country is divided. We saw all those women in the streets yesterday. Yes. Emilys list has 26,000 women who contacted them about running for office. One of the things we saw is democrats are winning in places against us and in places where people said theres no way you could possibly win. Largely driven by women and quite frankly by black women. The other piece of this is for the president this erratic the shut down is symbolic i was thinking about the muslim ban a year ago and what a disaster that was. It is the incompetence and inability to lead and the insecurity people are feeling that i think has led to some of these numbers. This is not the guy youre right hes got a core base of support no matter what theyre with him. Your poll shows an increasing number of people who say this is not the guy we thought we would get. The president has made good on his promise of disrupting. Absolute. Youre bureau chief for the ap. Whats the signature moment for you . For me its the day he fired james comey. I remember sitting in our ap booth and it encapsulates so many of the dynamics of this administration. The announcement and explanation was bungled. It seemed as though the white house was not prepared for it. It has really created this dynamic inside the white house. They know this is a moment perhaps more than what happened during the campaign potentially with contacts with russia that could get people in trouble. Its that single moment that more than anything else got Robert Mueller appointed the special counsel. One of the moments i took i think and you showed a clip. The moment that symbolized the entire presidency was his inaugural speech which was one of the most unique, divisive depressing speeches that a president has ever given from an inauguration. From that moment when he had a 46 Approval Rating it only reflected that. He arrives today with a 36 Approval Rating. He started at the lowest point and ended at the lowest point. His leadership has not done anything to expand his base beyond the third of the country. I think the tax cut and jobs act. Were just starting to see the beginning of that. Were still two to three weeks away from 90 americans having more money in their paychecks every week. 2 million americans have got bonuses, raises. We have auto manufacturing coming back from mexico to michigan. Mark, i have a question he was also the first sitting president to go to the march for life and speak at it which shows hes keeping his word to his base like evangelicals. I was worried he was going to govern like a new york liberal. It shows hes keeping his promises to his base. I was worried he was going to govern like a new york liberal. It surprises me. He has not been a new york liberal. Charlottesville for a couple reasons. I think it shook the conscious of this country. Weve been talking about how things are changing and moving so fast. It was something that i think shook everybody and woke people up a little bit out of a fog to recognize the very deep divisions in this country. One of the things i thought was even though i was terribly disappointed in the president because he made it clear to me he was not a president for all americans. Given the comments he made and doubled down on. I think it was a moment a lot of americans recognized its not just this is a present administration that will tell us things that we can see with our own eyes are true, but we can feel in our own heart isnt true. Hes not going to be truthful about White Supremacy and slavery. Country more divided today than a year ago . Absolutely. Its way more divided. One of the unique things we see following up on what mark said the stock market is at record highs, unemployment is down, the president has kept some of his promises, but hes at the lowest point than any president in this first year. Theres a total disconnect between the perception of our economy and the perception of this president. That is going to have to be the last word today. Thank you very much. That is all for us today.
