Extraordinarily disturbing. Last tweak administration said that ousting syria, president assad was no longer a priority. Now he is being blame for carrying out what appears to be a horrific kept weapons attack on his own people. Russia said assad is not to blame. Today, President Trump blasted the assad regime during a press conference at the white house with jordans King Abdullah. Can i quick will ask you if the kept attack crosses a red line for you in. It crossed a lot of lines for me. When you kill innocent children, innocent babies, babies, little babies, with a kept gas that is so lethal, people were shocked the hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines beyond a red line. And they confront him for not confronting assad after a similarly horrific kept attack. For what its worth, the president urged the president back then to, quote, president obama do not attack syria. Floss upside and tremendous down side. Today President Trump said point blank that this attack has changed him. That attack on children yesterday had a big impact on me. A big impact. That was a horrible, horrible thing, and ive been watching it and seeing it and it doesnt get any worse than that. And i have that flexibility and it is very, very possible, and i will tell you, it is already happened, that my attitude toward syria and assad has changed very much. Meanwhile at the u. N. , Ambassador Nikki Haley delivered an emotional rebuke of assad and blaming russia in part because russia promised to rid syria of its kept weapons stockpiles in 2013. Obviously they didnt get them all. Heres ambassador haley. Look at those pictures. We cannot close our eyes to those pictures. We know that yesterdays attack bears all the hallmarks of the assad regimes use of kept weapons. Russia cannot escape responsibility for this. In fact, if russia had been fulfilling its responsibility, there would not even be any kept weapons left for the Syrian Regime to use. Shes of course referring to that deal that kept the United States from attacking syria back in 2013 when the russians said they were going to do this. This all comes amid growing pressure from republicans today demanding that President Trump figure out a way to oust assad. I still believer assad has to go. Thats the only way to bring stability to that region. I dont think theres a future for syria with Bashar Al Assad in exist tense. They did in words but not in deeds. Bashar al assad has to go. It may not be tomorrow or next week. Isis may be our more immediate threat from syria but we cannot be safe as long as the Assad Russian access. This is not tonight crisis facing the president on the world stage. North korea carried out another Ballistic Missile test last night. All of this timed ahead of President Trumps meeting tomorrow with north koreas most important ally. Chinese president xi jinping. During the campaign and the transition there were serious questions about what exactly an american first Foreign Policy would look like and whether it would translate from a slogan into a foreign policier document. And lets face it, ever since washington warned of foreign entanglement, the president has vowed to avoid getting entangled. But thats easier said than done, especially with atrocities are involved of. Im joined by bob cork he of tennessee, chair of the will Senate Foreign relations committee. Talking to you about syria. It feels like weve done this quite a few times. Several times. I want to get you to respond, in particular, what you thought of President Trumps answer when he said its the following. Look what happened cross ad lot of lines for me. Many, many lines beyond a red line. Then he said, im not saying im doing anything one way or the other. A, your reaction, and b, whats your advice . I have to tell you, having been in the refugee camps, meeting with syrians, even yesterday, seeing the photographs that theyve put forth of torture, the absolute torture that assad has put against his people. The bombing of hospitals. I think it is a very, very good thing that this has reached the consciousness of our president , if you will. Those of us like you who have been around this for many years want to see that moral clarity about assad. In my opinion, as a war criminal, i think we ought to do everything we can to make sure he is convicted. Hopefully this will go from a more sanitary approach to syria, something that he is inheriting, to something that is much more heart felt of the i think this is a very positive development. You interviewed, you were one of the people who interviewed, if you want to call it that, to be secretary of state, or at least spoke to him about it. Did he articulate what his Foreign Policy was to you . What he expected of his secretary of state on syria . You know, what a great point to bring up, chuck. Because what ive seen under this president from the time, november, december time frame, where these conversations were taking place until now, is an evolution. Weve seen a very positive evolution on china, a positive evolution on israel, a positive israel on nato. And youre right. I mean in fairness, not to get into confidential conversations but syria was sort of a distraction. Something that was being inherited. And now i think youre seeing full engagement. This is the kind of thing those of us who have watched this criminal assad do what hes doing with the stance of putin and iran, this is a good development. I really do believe that. Something that should bring both sides of the aisle together. Now hes focused on it in a different way and seems to have some ownership of it now versus inheriting this mess that was, lets face it, has been mismanaged but now its his of. Im curious. Do you get the expense maybe he realizes he made a mistake when they shifted policy whether assad should stay or go . I think that that policy is something that can be easily reversed. Do you think it should be . It is not like any action has been taken. I think, you know, weve done a terrible job in our nation on regime change. Weve ended up creating a lot of problems. I got that. I think we need to assure where hes going on war crimes. Weve got plenty of work to do in raqqah and other areas dealing with isis. But i think working with others to ensure this guy cops will to trial and is convicted of all the dastardly things hes done to his own people is where we ought to go. And i think we can leave the other, if you will, to let it evolve a little bit. A big part of this will have to be dealing with russia. You wrote a tough op ed in august of 14 under a headline, obama is an unreliable ally. On syria. You wrote the following. You said when faced with the difficult challenge with the rest of congress, obama reversed course and said he no longer wanted the authority. Instead the president jumped in the lap of russian president Vladimir Putin who offered a way out for assad to survive, even thrive, while turning over syrias declared stockpile of kept weapons to the united nations. President trump seems to have more confidence in putin doing the right thing in syria than even president obama did in your criticism there. Do you think he will have his mind changed . I hope so. Look. Ive seen him evolve in a positive way. Chuck, we send as many Foreign Ministers and prime ministers to the white house as we can. We think, weve got a new president coming in. He hasnt had a back ground in this area. All of that influences them in a positive way. I think Rex Tillerson is a strategic thinker. He has the opportunity and i hope he will fulfill it in my opinion to be an historic figure with all the issues that are being dealt with right now and his ability to think in strategic terms. Hes addressed our committee. I think whats being added to this element, i hate that it is happening with deaths to children and others, but what youre beginning to see the administration feel is that moral clarity that americans, those of us in the Foreign Policy arena care so much about and some people have felt have been missing and the hearings taking place. So again, i think hes evolving on russia. Look, theres no way that he can even possibly attempt to achieve the relationship that he talked about before with putin. Weve helped poison the well there. Putin has poisoned the well. But again, hopefully he will begin to see the kind of people that putin supports and the efforts that he supports against innocent people. I mean, this is a terrible thing that has happened. But maybe a wakeup moment for this administration relative to putin. Are you at all concerned that within a week of the United States, officially reversing its assad policy, he does a kept weapons attack . Hes been doing this for some time. Im not sure that i can draw a relationship there. Hes been doing these things. Theyve been starving people on purpose. They hold envoys of medicines from people on purpose. They bomb hospitals on purpose. I dont know that theres any relationship between the two. But hopefully this will mean the president and the team around him will look at assad for who he is and putin for who he is. Today, President Trump sounded like somebody, frankly, it sounded very similar to me, that period of that three or fourday window when president obama, secretary of state kerry, when they were preparing the country for a military response. President trump sounded like that was on the table. Do you believe he can do it without an authorization from congress if he chose to do so . Well, the president has authorities that he can undertake for 60 days and then have a 30day extension. I will say that i do hope, unless there is some element of surprise thats necessary for some reason im unaware of, i hope he will come to congress and i think he will find congress very willing to authorize appropriate measures in this particular case. I go back to the op ed in 2014. Look, im sorry. Chuck, it was one of the lowest moments in Foreign Policy. We didnt even notify those that he were going in with us against assad of what was happening. It hurt our credibility. What i hope doesnt happen is we lay out some rhetoric, if you will, that may sound like something is going to happen when it isnt. Hopefully president will come to congress if this is what he wishes to do. And he will find support. Final question today from the New York Times, President Trump accused the former National Security adviser of committing a crime. The president said, do i think, asked if she committed a yim this, do i think, yes, i think it will be the biggest story. Appropriate for the president to accuse her without providing evidence . Well, look, i dont know that should i speak to those comments in particular. I do hope that the National Security adviser rice will come testify before congress and clear up, if i think she should testify under oath before congress. The burden on her . Is the burden on her or the president who just went to the New York Times to accuse her of a crime . I think any official who has been in this wide array of discussion thats taking place, i encourage officials to come in and testify and clear things up. It is good for the american people. I think, you know im more prone to measure comments and im not that entertaining to your audience because ill a more measured person and i apologize. I dont want to respond to the other. Senator corker, as always, appreciate it. Appreciate you coming on and sharing your views. Thanks a lot. I bring in tonights panel. Charles sikes, and julian, she was by the way one of the Financial Times report heres interviewed President Trump last weekend. Almost all. Lets start with syria. We were talk during one of our breaks. One thing that i didnt bring up with either in that interview was the person that President Trump was standing next to today. An important person on the syria issue. King abdullah who is dealing with more Syrian Refugees than perhaps any other nation in the world. The jordanian king. I think it is very important, this statement came out from President Trump a few hours after meeting him. Because King Abdullah is a very smooth operator. He exudes this air of credibility. He is very persuasive. I would imagine he is just the kind of person, if anybody could, who might be able to persuade donald trump to change his tune. I have to say though, he campaigned, and frankly, his world view, i would argue, this is one of the consistencies of donald trump. Basically, hey, you do your business, we do ours. You leave us alone, well leave you alone. Your sphere of influence, essentially, thats why the russians did like trumps Foreign Policy views. That didnt set President Trump didnt sound like candidate trump anymore. You wonder what is the Expiration Date on the new donald trump. There was no trump doctrine. That i think came out in your interview, that it is pretty objection that donald trump hadnt really given much thought to syrian policy. Now you have the reality. Heres the reality check. That every problem in the world cannot be solved by a tweet. He cannot continue to campaign against barack obama. He has to move ahead. What we did not get was any sort of an indication. What is he actually planning to do and what does this mean for his bromance with putin . This is why the relationship with russia matters in the real world. He is not the first president who campaigned saying, boy, we get too involved around the world. And then suddenly theyre in the moment. You say, i dont want to be the worlds policeman and then you realize, america is the only officer on the beat. Hes learning this as other president s have. He made it so central to his campaign message. Far more than any other president. It is part of that populism. America first. We wont send people to pointless wars in another couldnt ninth. It is great that he was moved and touched. That shows hes a human being. To throw out as you suggest, document a whole new world view after basically being elected president on another one. When does that Expiration Date happen in. There has been one person who has been very consistent that quite visible and thats nikki haley. Shes been saying consistent reply first of all, russia needed to recognize some of the problems it was causing and slicked, raising syria over and over again at the u. N. Security council. Her and samantha power. Nothing changed with them. What shes been saying has been largely drowned out by the focus on donald trump. What has happened today is that trump has come around nearer to her view and thats causing a lot of discussion among other members of the security council. And one other very interesting thing is that even though Rex Tillerson has been almost entirely invisible, nikki is the person empowered to speak. My question is what the obama team faced, members of the capitol hill faced. Do you really want to punish assad, but how . What are the options . President obama used to say, you have no idea. It is a series of, he used a four letter word the words ty at the end. A whole bunch of those options. And there was probably a time when there were options and they kept getting smaller and smaller and smaller. You wonder at what point do they sit around and say, what are the options . Im slightly reassured, the fact steve bannon will not be at the table when theyre discussing what kind of military force we use. But we dont know what the options are. And i think it is always a mistake to read too much into what Donald Trumps words are on any given day. Who is the next person in the room in nikki haley . Steve bannon . Who will it be . And he simplifies it. It was bals isis. If we get rid of isis, muslim terrorism in the middle east. That will take care of it and well lead and everything will be great. Suddenly hell realizing it is a far more rt complicated situation. Donald trump does not seem to be a man who can multitask. He focuses on one thing tad. He is dealing with this incredibly important summit with the chinese leadership, this bubbling crisis in north korea. If theres anything that could knock north korea off when it has launched another syria, it is the middle east and syria. The irony on this issue, this north korea gave the United States leverage on china in this issue. The timing of it was really bad for the chinese in this case. It will be intesti to see how he uses that leverage in this meeting that begins tomorrow. Absolutely. And theres a big difference between the chinese, and they want to tread softly not to provoke them. The United States seem to be rattling the sabre. We have a lot to get to. We didnt get to the susan rice situation. I promise you, well get to that. After he spent 15 straight hours speaking on the senate floor, he says hes still awake. Ill spend a few minutes with jeff merkley. Realize that ah, ts not exactly a fortune. Well, a 103 yeah, 103. Well, let me ask you guys. How long did it take you two to save that . A long time. Then its a fortune. Well, im sure you talk to people all the time who think 100k is just pocket change. Right now were 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. Welcome back to mtp daily. In that interview in the New York Times, the president went out of his way to defend bill oreilly, following a series of Sexual Harassment claims thatll keep coming out and becoming public. The New York Times reported over the weekend that oreilly or fox had paid five women, a collective 13 million to settle various Sexual Harassment and inappropriate behavior claims against the fox news anchor. Oreilly has claimed the claims were without merit. And he said he is a person i know well. As he good person. I think he shouldnt have settled. I dont think he did anything wrong. If youre surprised about the president s comments, one thing we know about President Trump. He values loyalty. Heres what he said about roger ailes. Finally roger ailes, is he advising you . I dont want to comment but hes been a friend of mine a long time. And i can tell you some of the women who are complaining, i know how much hes helped them. Ive always found him to be a very very good person. At least 35 advertisers have pulled their ads from the Oreilly Factor in the last few days. S. Its over.

Monument, the grand he is the most democrats standing solidly against gors, he wont have enough votes. And despite bipartisan attempts, the senate, another version changing the rules so Supreme Court justices can be confirmed by a simple majority instead of 60 senators. Last night, politico published a report that accused gorsuch of copying word structure from other sources and failing to cite them. He is essentially being accused of plagiarism. While they refuted the charges and claimed they lacked foundation, it doesnt appear to be doing anything to bring the senate back from the brink here. And lawmakers are now blaming each other for their current predicament. It is not the tradition of the senate to filibuster a u. S. Supreme court nominee. What we are poised to do at the end of this week will have tremendous consequences and i fear that someday we will regret what were about to do. Im confident that we will. Even though each side thinks their side is more right than the other, neither side is happy with how we got here. Jeff merkley staged an all night talk. It did put hill in the history books. His speech was the eighth Longest Senate floor speech since 1900. You see there. Basically tying huey long. So joining me now after a nap is the one person in the u. S. Senate that may end up with my nickname that some people like the throw out there. Sleepy eyes. Welcome to meet the press daily. Thank you. Let me start with, you sort of, youve been one, in 2013 you argued for that filibuster change at the time. You said this on the floor. You said todays rule change is a 56th for the american peel. The endless abuse of the filibuster on nominations has done great damage to the independence of our courts. Nominees deserve an up or down vote. Why doesnt the same criteria apply today . When we changed the rules, we did that after a year of trying on work with republicans to end their attack on the Obama Administration and the courts. They were leaving a tremendous number of seats empty. They said we are going to stone wall this president in every way. Totally inconsistent with the concept of three coequal branches. We negotiated, we went into the old chambers ask bared our souls and came out with a deal. The deal republicans broke few weeks later en they said they would never allow a debate on three of the Circuit Court seats in the d. C. Circuit. It was an early version of lets steal these seats. We didnt change the Supreme Court for a very good reason. Thats where the buck stops. He have other court can make decisions. It is the case of a lifelong appointment. A person may serve for four or five decades and their views matter and the way theyre put on to the court matters. Thats why it is important to send a vote to the president. It is intended to say to the president that, nominate someone from the judicial main stream. But gorsuch is not from the judicial main stream. Theres nothing says it has to be 60 votes. You just made a case about lifetime appointment. Well, theres lifetime appointment for circuit judges and federal judges. To many people this is a distinction without a difference yes. Ithe highest court. But once you go down this road for the lower courts, this was inevitable which was the point that many republicans made four years ago that youre laying the ground work for a rationalization for the out party at the time, which was the republicans, to essentially run rough shod. First it wasnt the tradition of america. In fact, the early senate after the first year got rid of their motion to close debate because they didnt need it. They heard every one out which set the stage for the famous filibuster in world war one over arming the civilian shipments. Second of all, in this context, we are dealing with something that never happened in u. S. History. A seat was stolen by one bhaigs no action in the senate. In 16 times weve had an open seat during an election year. 15 times, every time until now, the senate took action. Confirming 11. Refour. They always took action so what happened . The result of where we are now is because last year for the first time in u. S. History, the majority decided to stone wall nominee. Take no sxaks steal the seat in an effort to pack the court. The thats the point. Nobody has clean hands here. Each side uses, rationalizes their position based on the behavior of the other side. So you know, thats why it looks inevitable. Because it seems to me the next time, the next time you guys are in power, how do you not just say, okay, they changed the rules. Well keep going and well change the rules for the filibuster. Im more concerned about the Supreme Court. If the theft of the Supreme Court seat succeeds for the first time in u. S. History, that means there is, all the rules off. It is pure partisanship from here onforward. It fractures the speaking with riftcourt. Every 54 decision that the stolen seatarticipates in will have a cloud over it. There are other reasons. The president s team is under investigation for potentially having conspired with the russians to undermine the elections. Thats potentially treasonous conduct. We need on clear that cloud before the debate continues. Ill curious. Do you think that democrats collectively, and ill going from the white house on down to you guys in the senate. Did you not fight hard enough for had Merrick Garland in hindsight . We fought hard. We brought it up continuously. Did president obama fight hard enoh for it in. I think he pushed it very hard. Again, there was no lever to come fell senate to do something. It had never been seen in history to stone it was seat. I wish we had found some way to force the debate to happen. But mitch mcconne wt to the floor within hours of the death of slia and said, this is theed intent. We are not going to consider this nomination, whoever it is, whoever it is, from the president. And we are going to stone wall it. We are going to steal had seat. Totally unprecedented. Incredibly damaging. Even now the reason i spoke all night was to say this is so important to the future integrity of court. Stop what youre doing. Take this train off the tracks. Lets find a way to both not destroy the integrity of the senate and fracture the court. Well see. Still 48 hours. You never know what might happen in this final debate. Get some sleep, sir. Thank you. Senator merkley, thank you for coming on. Still ahead, the president is eyeing some new vetting measures. How far can they go legally in doing that . Well get a reality check on that.

President trumps executive order on travel is tied up in the courts. But the administration is considering new extreme vetting steps for visitors and visa seekers. Quote, the change would ask applicants for their sheenls and passwords so officials could see information posted privately in addition on public posts. Homeland security has already experimented with askingor peoples handles. This would reportedly apply to people in our visa waiver programs like the uk, japan and australia. Authorities already have the legal right to search any object passing the bored he and that includes your smartphone. By the way that applies to u. S. Citizens as well as foreigners. Heres john kelly earlier today. It wont be done routinely for pple coming from anywhere. It wonte done routinely from anywhere. But if theres a reason to do it, we will in fact do it. This is nothing new we could if we want to, and in some small numbers we do. We dont take them to be frenlsicily taken apart. He is referring to phones. A relatively small number of travelers get screened. The numbers between 2015 and 2016 have increased five fold. The National Political director for the American Civil Liberties union. Good to see you. I guess im trying to understand the legal boundaries here. You know, i dont want this to be a debate about whether we should be doing it. I want to get to whats legal and what is not. Can i raise a couple of issues . Yes. So one is in the questioning of the any personful are they asking about what is your faith . How often do you pray . What are your ideological views with regard to your religion . Weve heard from the press that they are asking those which is a religious test. If you go down that road youve now violated but rt if you avoided the religious test. So thats one element. If you avoid that, that would keep you off a legal problem. Right. And the interrogation should be equally broad based. It shouldnt know looking for muslims only. The second issue with social media. As do you a search of the phone, are you could not an unreasonable search for the amendment violation by accessing somebodys email, somebodys private data. Are you going beyond something that should require a warrant. We believe the constitution applies to all people. Like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, guarantee of due process, those apply the everyone. Also, we learn this through the military commissions. Through gaunlt trials, that the Supreme Courter also believed that noncitizens have rights that are afford under the constitution. I understand that. Lets go to the question of legality. You believe they run into legal trouble if they dip into religion. And you know thats what theyre doing. Theyre asking, what is your faith . Mohammed alis son. Why was he flagged . Because of his name. Oh, you have a prayer app on your phone. Why . This is targeting muslims specifically. Thats a religious test. If you get there, that is what would be considered to be a violation of the constitution. For sure. That would be a muslim ban 3. 0. So what is an extreme measure that you believe they could do it legally . It has to be broad based, it has to apply to everyone. As youre entering the country, whatever procedures you have in place should not just apply to six countries, muslims from this part of region. It should apply to everyone. What were learning is the visa resfrikss are happening, the visa denials, theyre during largely amongst people who are muslim, who have muslim zmams coming from muslim countries. Let me be devils advocate. If they ask everybody their religion when they come in. What would that say . Would that fast constitutional test if youre looking for heres my next question. So who gets denied . So who is not allowed . What is your you think they have to provide that before you can find out. So if chuck todd says i happen to be christian. I happen to be muslim. Hey, chuck, youre welcome to the United States. Sorry, we just didnt have space for you. What are the legal rights for somebody not a citizen who has their phone seized . So, as you go about that process, i think it is important to know that you do have rights. There are certain things you dont have to respond to. Giving over your phone, making sure that youve eliminated some of the appls, dont have your email on there. Certain best practices that you should have to protect yourself. As you said, then take your phone and look at some of your social media stuff. So just delete that information. If we see that theyre trying to go into your cloud and trying on dig up old stuff. That will get into the zone of unconstitutional search. This is about protecting the United States. So searching everybodys phone, if theyre searching every phone, looking for everything. Stop right there. I dont know how i dont know how they would actually do it but ill asking you. I would ask you not to believe this is about National Security. We would not have muslim ban 1. 0 and then 2. 0 being delayed for press purposes the this was about National Security. This is simply to enact present trps political agenda to have total and complete shounl of all muslims entering the United States. Thats what this is about. Understanding that is the first principle about understanding any of it. Do you believe in any legal challenge to these vetting procedures, that that rhetoric that he said, you believe all of that will be admissible and it should contribute to a judges decision. It has already been admissible. The judges are already using it. They are already telling us that it matters. And i applaud them. It is an important context to understand his motives. As he empers federal agents, i. Krerks agents. It has to be muslims because the read that told me that. So you believe they will be struck down. I think well learn about cases that violate and go over the line and then well build a case and then well take President Trump to court as we have. Appreciate you coming in. Thank you.

Lets bring back the panel. Beth, jillian, president of the United States accused a former National Security advisor to president obama of committing a crime today and didnt produce any evidence. Hes getting awfully good at that and it is utterly shocking he would do such a thing. Hes sort of in this mode right now its so shocking its not the lead story right now. True. And there is such a fire hose of news every day that things that would have elevated to the level of def con10 in a normal administration is like a secondary story in this one. How about the fact that neil gorsuch our nominee for Supreme Court was caught pledge rising and thats not even being discussed to the. Democrats havent brought this up. There are so many other things to be talking about. In terms of susan rice, hes in a mode now where the Obama Administration, the president himself and his staff need to be blamed for the things that are going wrong in the white house. Susan rice is so radioactive on the republican side. Trot her out, have a little bit of connection to reality, like the bear est little tether and shes the story. Lit up your radio back six months ago, right . Anything susan rice oh, absolutely. Susan rice and all of a sudden you get calls. Absolutely. Thats a hot button for all conservatives and republicans. Not only did the president of the United States accuse someone of a crime without any evidence, but he exonerated bill oreilly without any evidence. This is the new normal where the president of the United States wai weighs in on all of this. Dont be surprised if you dont get the explanation. Heres the issue. It is the new normal. When the Financial Times was in the white house last week last friday, i actually asked the president , do you correregret a your tweets . There have been crazy ones. He said no, i dont regret them. If youre going to do hundreds of tweets, you may end up with a clinker from time to time. That was a quote. He thinks tweeting and the off the cuff remarks are what enabled him to win the election last year. It connects him with the voters and makes him seem like a man now hes the president. He is the chief magistrate. It is allowing him to basically wield power. It is giving him some conservative cover. Just when conservatives were starting to stray, not happy about health care, makes him feel uncomfortable, throws susan rice to the caldron. You want susan rice to testify . She knows a lot of things. She knows a lot of things. It does not change the underlying dynamic. I think there ought to be an investigation. Were in a posttruth world. At some point lets find out what the truth s. Lets get to the bottom of this, put everybody under oath. This keeps that story line alive that much longer. President of the United States accused now a private citizen of committing a crime and no evidence. Its shocking. It certainly is shocking. I can say right now around the world people are looking at the white house and feeling completely lost how to deal with this, what to make of it. There are other authorities around the world who have entire desk monitoring these tweets. Chuck, youre the polling guy. His poll numbers could not be worse. He basically is the president of the conservatives who hate susan rice. He needs to expand that. Hes not going to get anywhere in terms of a legislative agenda moving anything along he promised the people who voted for him if hes only playing to that audience, if hes inclined to believe susan rice is a kr t criminal. How to win a new cycle. Going into the white house, i won, you didnt. And that tells you everything you need to know. Okay. When we began this day, some on my staff said its kind of a slow news day.
