talked to his attorney general yet. that s right. reporter: i had a chance to catch up with kellyannec conway. i asked her whether or not the president views this decision as some sort of set back or defeat. she didn t exactly answer that question, but here s what she had to say. this is a defeat? do you see this as a setback? he sees it as the statute provides a president with great latitude and authority to protect the citizens and protect the nation s national security. this was not argued on the merits. now that we ll have an opportunity to argue on the merits, we look forward to doing that. i think his tweet was perfect when he said, we ll see you in court. there you go. some confidence being expressed by kellyanne conway at the white
plus the bizarre fight over crowd size. it looked like a million or a million and a half people. donald trump accuses the media of lying about the size of the crowd. but the photos comparing friday s crowd with obama s first inaugural tell a very different story. and that inaugural address that was a call for renewed american strength, and a dark portrait of the nation that president trump now leads. this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. my guests this morning, kellyanne conway, chuck schumer of new york. joining me is chris matthews, kristen welker.
hewitt, let s get your book plug in, the fourth way. let me set up the conversation. the conversation that i had with kellyanne conway up for debate here, let me play sean spicer from yesterday to reorient everybody. here it is. this kind of dishonesty in the media, the challenging bringing about our nation together is making it more difficult. there has been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold donald trump accountable. it goes two ways. we re going to hold the press accountable as well. hugh hewitt, like i began my question, the presidency is about choices. you make choices. they made a choice they wanted to litigate this, can you explain? i believe a lot of it has to do i believe in grace. zeek miller made a mistake, sean spicer made a mistake. it is not good to begin your presidency at war with the
