. who s taking office. the president has spent eight consecutive weekends away from the white house at his various trump resorts including what has been deemed the winter white house, his palm beach resort mar-a-lago. it is also the name now, the fow legislation the democrats have just rolled out. they want to know who s meeting with the president when he s away from the white house. here is the actual name of the legislation for you. prepare yourself. it is the making access records available to lead american government openness act. yep, that s it. it would force the white house to create an online database of every person who visits anywhere the president conducts official business. getting past the ridiculousness of the name, let s talk about what they re asking for. david, it s great to see you. you too. from everything that you ve seen, david, is this a fair
and this may be a sign that pledge was not very iron clad if he s spending all of his time at the businesses. he certainly has done nothing physically to separate himself from the businesses. it s kind of hard to believe he has totally separated himself in terms of management from the businesses, but we haven t seen enough yet to know and the access that the members of his golf clubs are getting. if we start finding out some of these members are getting big government contracts or that they re fining special purchase at the white house because they see the president in the context of the club, then i think we ll know more about the conflicts of interest. david, great to see you. thank you. back to some of our breaking new this hour, why did current republican in charge and the current republican chairman of the house intelligence committee, why can he have some mysterious meeting on white house grounds the day/night before releasing information on potential trump surveillance? there
ahhh.that s a profit. know where you stand instantly. visit quickbooks-dot-com. it s from the art of the deal that wasn t now into where do they go from here? from the white house to capitol hill, the president still dealing with that embarrassing defeat of the president s health care bill. where do they go now? let me bring in cnn political director david talion for more on this. it s the blame game, but we re moving past that because the white house says we re moving on. where does the president turn now if he s looking for a winning coalition on anything from here on out? well, right, because you ve got to look at this both from a policy lens and a political
donald trump politically. so, what s the incentive right now for democrats to sort of reach out to the president, say, yes, let s form some new coalition here? unfortunately, it sounds like it s going to have to be seeing regular old taxpayers being hurt by their inaction seems to be the only thing that will push them into action. but this also, david, this episode over health care has raised a lot of questions about the relationship between the president and the house speaker, a crucial one to getting anything done. they talked over the weekend a couple times, according to both sides. they both say everything is great. do you believe it? does look great to you? does everything look great to you? perfect. listen, it s a forced marriage, right? so, it s an arranged marriage that neither one of them would sort of have set up for themselves if they were plotting their own paths. and so, it is a relationship, one, that they both need right now. so, i do believe in that sense there
are paul ryan and donald trump, kate, are not ideologically simpatico in a lot of ways, so i don t know that we ll always see them working beautifully together. there will be divides. i think the two men understand that they neech each other. that s what the aides are saying. that will keep them charging forward, no matter what. david, it s great to see you. thanks, kate. thank you. just ahead for us, the president has spent nearly one out of every three days this presidency so far at a trump property. who foots the bill? who profits? does it matter? plus, a witness says he heard people screaming for help, pleading for someone to save them. a u.s.-led air strike being blamed for the deaths of dozens of civilians now. it s now under investigation. a coalition spokesman is joining me live next. yeah, i just saved a whole lot of money by switching to geico. huh. we should take a closer look at geico. you know, geico insures way more than cars. boats, motorcycles. even rvs! gei
