Mr. Rosenstein is your testimony today that you believe bob mueller is a person of high integrity. Is that right . Yes. And i think that bob mueller ended up at number one with us because hes already indicted or put out for former Trump Campaign officials one, a form other National Security adviser and he heads into 2018 with the fate of the presidency in his hands. Just been told weve had cameras on us while having this conversation the whole time. Thanks very much for joining us. Good night. This sunday looking back at 2017 and ahead to 2018. President trump. Did he keep his promises . I will be the greatest jobs president that god has ever created. The tax relief will be concentrated on the working and middle class. I will be president for all america. Well look at promises made, promises kept and promises broken. Plus, the 2018 political landscape. Democ
on one side progressives like elizabeth warren. let s be really clear, capitalism without rules is theft. on the other, moderates like michael bloomberg. i m a lbd little bit tired of listening to things like pie in the sky. my guest this morning, the democrat who says he could be one to bridge that gap. also, the president, the speaker and the border wall. there s not going to be any wall money in the legislation. she s just playing games. so if there s no wall, it doesn t work. will president trump declare a national emergency? republican senator rick scott of florida is here. joining me for insight and analysis are eugene robinson of the washington post. nbc news chief white house correspondent hallie jackson. rich lauer of national review. theresa kumar and mark leibovich from the new york times magazine. welcome to sunday. it s meet the press. from nbc news in washington,

important promise he made and the single most important promise he s kept? rich, start with you, because i think the wall is probably the single most important promise connected to him as a candidate. yes. his signature promise and the most flagrantly unrealizable promise. the idea mexico would pay for this wall. let alone build the wall. but the other country paying for it. immigration is a success story for him. he doesn t have a wall, but reestablishing a certain baseline of enforcement it sent an important message and you have illegal border crossings down to i think the lowest level since 1971. kind of surprised he doesn t boast about that more. what s the most important one he s kept? the most important one i think that he s kept is that he would be the president for the people who voted for him, and he would carry on the culture wars
primary challenge for the sport of it. question, who could be the most effective primary challenger to a trump? rich, start with you. this is national review may cover a lot of this. it s hard to see how this would work unless trump totally craters. otherwise, you ll get some sort of symbolic challenge from someone like john kasich, 25%, 30%. this juncture, he wouldn t even win ohio. what about a ben sasse? mitt romney? the two names that come up. mitt romney, the better chance. done it before. more name recognition but a tough poll. somebody s going to do it just for the coverage. jeff flake ro be interesting. president trump runs, he will be the nominee. the question, if he doesn t, it s pence versus the field. free for all. when we come back, oh, how the political world has changed in just one year. wish your skin could bounce
