Push trying to reframe the narrative out of thin air that they got rolled by the democrats. Good morning everyone. Its wednesday, may 3rd, willies birthday. Backtoback birthdays, mika. Yes, but theres a wall between us. You need white gloves. Why is it a National Holiday in kazakhstan . I have no idea. In the ten years ive worked with you, is this like jerry lewis in france . What is it with you and kazakhstan . I thought they turned on me. I think when you were at cnn as a sports producer. It was a dirty, bloody weekend. Im not proud of it but they made a holiday out of it. On willies birthday we have former democratic congressman harold ford, junior, author of the book of a world in disarray, Richard Haass. Senior writer from politico and coauthor of the playbook, jake sherman is with us. Whats going on with the wall there. Nick mulvaney, did they have all the funding in that . He said they funded a big beautiful wall with a door in the middle. Is that what they do . No. This bill in
And libya. I dont know exactly where we should start this show. I do. Im going to ask willie. Willie, what was the name what name did donald trump take back when he used to lie about sex john miller. Hed say he was john miller and call news organizations and say im calling for donald trump and he would brag about his sexual prowess or trying to clean things up. Ewh. I guess compensate. He did his john miller routine yesterday with the rnc. Fortunately they didnt brag about his sex life, but theyre not doing that anymore. But did you see that statement the rnc put out . It was just kind of nice to know donald still cares and watches us despite what he said. That was a vitriolic statement. It made me sad. Did you see that . I did. It was a weird day on both sides where you had Hillary Clinton trashing the dnc. Well play some of that. Donald trump comes out and tweets about Hillary Clinton, all this could have played out a year ago. Feels like were still in the 2016 campaign. Id just be h
Washington anchor for bbc world news america, katty kay, and cofounder and ceo of axios, jim vandehei with us. Were going to begin with the testimony from the former director of the Central Intelligence agency john brennan. Speaking yesterday before the house intelligence committee, he said under his watch investigators have uncovered troubling information about contacts between russian officials and americans in the Trump Campaign. By the time i left office on january 20th, i had unresolved questions in my mind as to whether or not the russians had been successful in getting u. S. Persons involved in the campaign or not to work in their behalf, again, either in a witting or unwitting nafashion. Did evidence exist of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and russian state actors at the time you learned of 2016 efforts . I encountered and am aware of information intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between russian officials and u. S. Persons invo
Pretty good song. It is. Welcome to morning joe. Theres meaning to that. With us columnist and associate editor of the Washington Post David Ignatius, executive producers and cohosts of the circus on show time, Mark Halperin and joe heilemann. Where is heilemann . Hes in a bunker. There he is. Heavy circus presence. Did you notice David Ignatius smiled when he introduced him. I snuck in. A slight smile. Jeffrey goldberg could not do that yesterday. Do you know somebody wrote up an article saying i was sexist for telling him to smile twice . Oh, come on. Whats wrong with being sexy . Thats one of the best lines from spinal tap. Thank you rob reiner. Whats the matter with being sexy. A new poll this morning. Oh, good, my daughter is awake. They always textality 6 01. A new poll gives voters latest opinions of the Trump Presidency. Nearly a week after the military sykes in syria, his Approval Rating is 39 , up one point from late march while the percentage of those who disapprove is down
What can happen on both sides of the aisle . And i think everybody wants to avoid it. Democrats have supported Border Security funding and republicans have supported it as well. I dont think thats controversial. If the Trump Administration was looking for that headline, i think that could cause some problems, especially with democrats who frankly dont want to be seen in public cooperating with President Trump on a priority that says inflammatory as this one is, especially with eir base. And the back piece of this is that if in fact they do come to a basic agreement this week, one thing they could do is Fund Government for about another week or so.
