new york democrats are taking over. if that happens if you see this preponderance of goldman sachs democrats take over the white house, what happens in the republican base? that s fascinating. the trump world we re seeing the first divisions in trump world we have seen since the election. clearly there are folks breaking with trump on what he did in syria, but that transition, keep in mind that steve bannon has that whole troll universe out there, that whole that whole media empire, and they re going to be extremely unhappy. so this will be the first time you ve seen some really significant fissures in the base. we re hearing katie mcfar land, one of the last of the general michael flynn acolytes out now as deputy national security adviser, sending her off to an ambassadorship overseas. interesting move. what do you think? very interesting. this is the shake-up in the national security council. mcmaster has come in, he s trying to assemble his team. remember, that was one of
doctrine? we clearly do, but i believe that that s evolving and certainly when you have people like general mcmaster who is outstanding and lime general mattis at the pentagon, i think we will in days ahead have a much more clearer articulation of what the administration means and plans to do. michael, to the point you just made, it is interesting because you had the putin-ites seem to be been marginalized. they re now out. basically subject to being called by congress. the people left in seem to be the more traditional republicans. i want you to listen to rex tillerson, friend of vladimir putin. this is how he sounds now talking about putin and assad. president putin called what happened on thursday a significant blow to the relationship of the united states. well, i guess i m not too surprised that russia might make that statement. i will tell you, i m disappointed because i think the
russia should ask themselves what are we doing here? why are we supporting this murderous regime that is committing vast murder of its own population and using the most heinous weapons available? we are hearing new word from the trump administration today including national security adviser h.r. mcmaster on the trump foreign policy doctrine or lack thereof. joining me now, cornell belcher, democratic pollster, author of black man in the white house. kerstin hagland. michael medved, nationally syndicated talk radio host. thank few for being here. looking forward to this panel. i m going to go to you, michael,
