not only did i never worked for russia, i think it s a disgrace that you even ask that question. because it s a whole big, fat hoax. melissa: but democratic senator elizabeth warren says the report is raising big questions. i have been waiting for a long time for mueller to kind of move forward. i think we are seeing these independent actions, even independent of mueller, which is the lead up and some of the rationale about why this investigation started and why so many americans like myself have been concerned for so long. melissa: sounds like mark warner to me. but, anyway. [laughs] john roberts 11 s latest. john? elizabeth warren, mark warner. politicians under the category of w. the president, when he was on with judge jeanine on 9:00 saturday night here on the fox news channel, he said it was ludicrous, the allegation that he was involved with russia somehow. and there should be an fbi investigation of it. but he did not definitively say
parcel to the 2016 election fallout. i expect nothing less. she s bitter about the 2016 election? breaking news. kevin, thank you very much. jillian: center stage at the helsinki summit just days after a dozen russians were indicted by the special counsel. national security adviser john bolton says w. the president and upper hand. rob: ellison barber takes up our coverage from helsinki this morning. reporter: good morning. the administration says they have the upper hand, but it s no secret democrats say this meeting that is makes them uncomfortable. chuck schumer says he spoke with secretary of state mike pompeo on sunday. he told pompeo he doesn t believe the trump putin meeting should take place without, but if it s going to happen,
we saw a list of things to do. how realistic they are going to get anything accomplished being a midterm year and with the president s approval ratings being and b w the president s approval ratingsing being so low? well, there s not a one size fit all answer. let me go through, it is no one s favor to have a government shutdown. if you don t have a budget fix by january 19th. this makes this harder for republicans, it s a different environment. you have one more democratic senator, democratic senator warren and you have two republicans, mccain and cochran, who are not well, and may be missing votes if you don t have 60 votes in the senate you can t make a deal. this means that the bargaining chemistry is different as we go into this. but it s if there is a shutdown this year it is the republicans who are going to be blamed.
base, he s played, you know, he was for pro-choice, now he s pro-life. he was progun control, now he s anti-any gun control. he was for the mandate before, obama was for the mandate on healthcare, now he s against it. so the problem here is, and i think people when they look at it are going to understand, barack obama reached out, he pulled back a nub. the republicans were unwilling to even talk to him and so he did what he had to do without them, because and everything he s accomplished in this four years, or this three and a half years, he s cut unemployment, we went from hemorrhaging 800,000 jobs a month to picking up several hundred thousand jobs. megyn: we are going to talk about come bro myself. dick touches on an important point, brad, which is the president feels like he was dealing with an on trucksist congress. a hroflt the republicans in congress say, yeah he was because we were sent there to stop his agenda which our voters didn t agree w. the president made another comme
incivility. the tea party people don t use that kind of rhetoric. i don t stoop to name calling. what they are going to do is continue to try to get across the tea party message which has been blurred by people like the unions and others out there. they want three simple things. fiscal responsibility, recognize our constitutional liberties, don t rewrite the constitution. let s even 40s, and third, let the free market w. the president s whole agenda has been anti-free market. the tea party will continue to make their voices heard and i believe they will prevail in november 2012. megyn: one thing you and the president agree with is getting rid of the payroll tax the folks have to pay. the president got rid of half of that. you would like to see the whole thing gone. is that a start? that is not even a start.
