The Business Community has spoken. This is not good for the president. No, and trish, this one really unravelled quickly. You think about the timing. Ken fraser, the head of merck, said he stepped aside from the president S Manufacturing council, a couple more ceos followed up after that. Yesterday the president responded in part on twitter by saying, suggesting hey, as they drop out, im able to fill their slots. Today also came the news reports this afternoon that a separate group, the strategy and policy forum, would be disbanding. That group made up of high profile ceos and people in the Business Community. At that point, the president said he was providing both cover. Heres what he wrote. He says rather than putting pressure on the Business People of the Manufacturing Council and strategy and policy forum, i am ending both. Thank you all with this parting message. The Democratic National committee took a victory lap saying these councils disbanded because of trumps failure to lead
It. Neil on to that dysfunction and is it problem hi, everyone very happy to have you im neil cavuto, weve got kennedy, adam and look who is in the house, ben stein.

Neil he doesnt quite tell you that until after the fact. Charles what do you make of this bottom line is we will function we will still get the job done. Charles a lot of dysfunction and i tell you whats interesting this week there was a report of 152page report on politics and he broke the Republican Party into four different groups. Im calling them tribes. Its interesting that you have marco rubio saying yeah, were all going to take a little pain as long as its not bad and this is just it. Is there a Common Thread with these four tribes . It used to be lower taxes. It used to be fewer regulations those are low hanging fruit. Obamacare repeal so i cant say t
Imagination. Good morning, and welcome to am joy. Joy reid is wrapping up her appearance on memeet the press and will join us shortly. The trump show is painfully real and bolstered by his partys congressional leaders and cabinet members all who flanked the president to outline the agenda. Yet his proclamations that hes, like, really smart, underline the prepliomise of the book. What wolff described as some of the most peculiar remarks delivered by a president. I say i had an uncle who did a fantastic job in so many different ways, academically, he was an academic genius, and then they say is donald trump an intellectual . Trust me, im like a smart person. Joining me is Michelle Bernard and perry bacon, jr. , of 538. Com. Yall, i dont know where to begin. Yesterday was pretty incredible with the tweet storm the president delivered yesterday morning and then the remarks yesterday. Lets go around the horn and get your generally actions to that and what we are all dealing with now over th
Did not make even the most cursory public show of respect on sunday for mr. Mccain against whom he had continued to indulge a personal grievance. Even as it was apparent that the Republican Arizona republican was losing his battle with brain cancer. The president spent much of his day golfing and attacking his usual enemies on twitter. Its telling that john mccain chose two of his former political rivals to eulogize him. George w. Bush with whom he duked it out in the gop primary in 2000 and barack obama who he faced in the 2008 president ial campaign. Mccains choice creates a contrast so stark it takes ones breath away. Donald trump was never even a political rival of mccains. Trump simply trolled the onetime prisoner of war claiming he didnt like p. O. W. S who didnt get captured. That pettiness is ongoing. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders, chief of staff john kelly and other white house aides advocated for an official statement that gave the decorated vietnam war p. O. W. Plau
Another story later in the show because someone, rather Something Else is the smart speakers in the living room. The makers may want them listening to more and more but do you want to know if your kids are drawing on the wall, family dinners. Are you creeped out yet. I am. First our team is here in d. C. Across the country and around the world. Starting with jeff bennet at the white house. Jeff, were going to see the president in about 30 minutes this morning. The last time we saw hip publicly speaking down in florida. He was talking daca, still talking daca this morning. Whats the latest line from the white house . Reporter hey there, halle great to see you. Officials are echoing with the president. Democrats arent serious about the dhaka deal, even though the democrats point out he was the one that cancelled the daca program last fall and rejected their immigration proposals. Take a look at what Sarah Sanders said about this earlier today. The president made ultimate l offers on daca
