i don t think secretary t tillerson is wanting for stature. she is an official advisor to the president, and they will be held accountable if they fall into the oversight of the united states congress. but this was specifically about the entrepreneurship initiative that she is part of with the world bank. i will differ with one thing and that is in terms of chelsea clinton sitting in, on behalf of her mother, we know that never would have happened. she would have been hosting fundraisers for all of the world leaders, shaking them down for donations to the clinton foundation. on that part i think he was wrong. it never would have happened. let s move on from that, i want a quick opportunity to talk to both of you about health care. liz, it looks like mitch mcconnell is not having a good time with it to say the least. and the president puts more pressure on and says,
the u.s. presidential election. now they will sit down and try to find common ground. it will go cuss on sefocus on s. and state department says tillerson will also bring up the fact that russia is still in ukraine, that this was never going to be an easy meeting, but that it will be blunt, broad and businesslike. chris. all right, michelle, thank you very much. coming up on new day, condoleezza rice. what does she make of this situation. how important does she think it is. and what do we do now to ensure the administration of justice in this democracy. is a special prosecutor everybody possible. next. h, no bars. oh no, looks like somebody needs a new network. when i got this unlimited plan they told me they were all the same. they re not. verizon has the largest, most-reliable 4g lte network in america. it s basically made for places like this. honey, what if it was just us out here? right. so, i ordered you a car. thank you. you don t want to be out here at night
any zell k any zell kozinski is live at the white house. and the timing is notable. reporter: it makes more sense now because we know both t tillerson and lavrov are both heading to alaska, but now we know that there will be this sitdown between lavrov and trump, might be a precursor to a trump/putin meeting this thisum. but a difficult backdrop to a bad relationship. remember the last time lavrov and tillerson sat down, it was in moscow and that was the aftermath of the horrible chemical attack in syria. tillerson said russia was either complicit or incompetent, russia called the subsequent air strikes an act of aggression. and they had this tense press conference where they had a striking difference of opinion is both on syria s role in that chemical attack as well as russia s role in the meddling of
crises you can have at the same time. the thing that s bad about it tillerson is a serious person. he because he s doing essentially a political act here for trump, i think he s eroding his credibility as secretary of state. i think it s too bad. they ve totally mismanaged this. the truth is iran isn t really a problem, it is a state sponsor of terrorism, it is a completely different country and different situation than north korea is. there is almost no similarities at all, other than they both are threatening to get nuclear weapons. this is trump knows because she s been told by mcmaster he has to continue this agreement. now he s going backtrack to his base to pretend he s being tough. in terms of improving in poll numbers and playing to your base, we re talking about foreign policy. trump has now engaged with syria, afghanistan, north korea, and then iran. is this all about popularity, suddenly this big surgens into foreign policy? he doesn t know what he s doing. i also
would that clear him of the charge that he was i don t think so, but it may distract us if we get tiny a mess in syria. to me, one of the big pictures here, because you talk about what nunes did. we ve seen the nsc. it s only been 11 weeks. it s been a disaster. people who want to be fired are kept in place for political reasons. they re involved with nunes on this midnight run. tonight s a good example. we need sound and sane national security policy. so trump has not been able to put a team in place there, and only yesterday afternoon he was saying, you know, my thinking is changeon syr when he always said to obama don t do any of . now we might be rushing into military action without him contemplating it, without a national security council that congressman, who do you think is advising the president tonight in terms of possible military action possibly in the next couple of hours even? is it jared kushner, his son-in-law? is it tillerson who comes from exxon, an oil man?
