It will be a great wall. Mexicos going to pay for the wall. Mexicos going to pay for the wall. Mexico will pay for the wall. And mexicos going to pay for the wall, and they understand that. Mexico is going to pay for the wall, believe me. 100 . 100 , he said. Now its american taxpayers being told to pay for the wall. Though the president still claims mexico will pay for it, some day, somehow. In fact, the president wants taxpayers to pay for the wall so badly hes threatening to shut down the government if congress doesnt agree. We are building a wall on the southern border which is absolutely necessary. Build that wall. Now, the obstructionist democrats would like us not to do it, but believe me, we have to close down our government, were building that wall. Building a wall, taxpayer money, not mexicos government or shut down the government. He may be in negotiating tactic, but lawmakers only have a few weeks before the government runs out of money and hits the debt ceiling, which coul
He refuses to comply of a grand jury subpoena of the russian investigation. He did an all day marathon on tv instead, eventually, going onto say well, he may corroborate. All this is proving that the only thing you can count on in this white house is chaos. You know who says hes fine with the chaos . The president himself. I want to bring in New York Times columnist. Assistant secretary of state under president obama. Thank you both for joining us here this evening. Never a dull moment. Nick, the first question goes to you. I want to talk about chaos. Everyday is something new here. Do you have trouble keeping up . I do it every single day. You think after a while it is going to come down and the white house loses more experience and people definitely recruiting others and this may actually accelerate. That really strikes me is that given the difficulty on trade policy, for example, President Trumps inability listening to or a rational evidence based path. You wonder how indeed hes goi
Of people in all of washington. When all in starts right now. Who can do better than trump. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Today in the white house, President Trump announced to the world that everyone, Everyone Wants to work with him and that Everyone Wants a piece of the oval office. It was just a few hours later the news broke his top economic adviser was finally heading for the exits. All coming as Robert Mueller bears down on trumps world inside and outside that white house. The New York Times broke the news gary cohn, the president s top economic adviser is planning to resign. Cohn, the former ceo of Goldman Sachs joined the white house at the beginning and stayed at trumps side after charlottesville, after he tweeted about the size of his nuclear button. But tariffs, tariffs were apparently a bridge too far for gary cohn. Earlier nbcs Halle Jackson noted cohns empty chair during an event at the white house. The president at the event insisted morale remains high. Th
Official come out here on the drive over to the white house last night, in the dark, to tell to make this announcement that he had accepted this invitation. Now, as far as the details of where we go from here, theyre still hammering those out, the when, the where. But south korea is saying this meeting will take place by may. Very short timetable that the white house is working with here. Thats a timetable that the white house has agreed to. But we do not know when and where this meeting will happen. But to give you a sense of how quickly all of this unfolded, we heard from Vice President mike pence just on tuesday and he said that the posture toward the north korean regime will not change until, quote, we see concrete steps toward denuclearization. Then we heard from the secretary of state Rex Tillerson just yesterday, hours before this invitation was accepted, and he said that, quote, were a long way from negotiations. And then the president accepts this invitation, that was extended
2 00 p. M. At the white house. Any minute well get what could be a fascinating press briefing from Sarah Huckabee sanders where if she wasnt already snowed in by the storm outside, shes likely to get snowed in b. Can she and Trumps White House drive a plow through the fallout. Any words about steve bannon . I dont know. He called me a great man last night. He obviously changed his tune pretty quick. The president wasnt just stunned by bannons claims, he was furious and disgusted. Reporter reportedly growing more furious by the minute. If steve said that was treasonous, he should retract that. I can sense that hes probably very frustrated and disappointed that steve would do this. I think steve actually is somewhat delusional with some of these claims. Michael wolf is a sleaze bag. I was asked to talk to him in the white house when he floated around the west wing and i refused to talk to this guy. Steve bannon said he would go to war for President Trump when he left the white house. Now
