is we see it in lots of issues, it s harder to do this job, and there s a lot more pitfalls than i think these people understood. a lot of these are rookie mistakes. i think trump saying this stuff what he said about reporters shouldn t be allowed to do x, y. he hasn t adapted and maybe priebus hasn t adapted when you re in that white house, when you re there, there s lots of constraints on you that they re not used to those constraints and stepping over them. rookie mistakes. all right. tim kearny at the cpac conference, sam stein at the white house, thanks for joining us, appreciate it. and we are going to take a quick break here. coming up though, it is a big weekend for the democratic party. there s an election this weekend. members of the democratic national convention are going to pick a new chair tomorrow. coming up, we re going to break down this very closely watched, very important race. a lot of unpredictability there. plus the new fight over recreational marijuana. t
pipeline for instance, something where the union movement is splintered and he s going further. this is a reshuffling of the political calculus. look like he s continuing to do it. the question i have is will he expand further? he said he wanted a big infrastructure package. that would appeal to the blue collar voters. that s fallen off label the. we don t hear about it in light of obamacare appeal and tax reform. i d be curious to see if a his advisors push that again to keep the momentum going. and tim, let me ask you about the mood of the crowd there at cpac. what is the most important thing when you talk to conservatives is there a most important thing they want to see done by the trump administration early on? well first thing is what he has done which is nominating neil gorsuch. there s a lot trump noted as reince priebus noted yesterday, there s a lot of people who were ted cruz, marco rubio people who either didn t vote for trump or the general or vote with their nose hel
realtime? and the fbi is supposed to be hands off on these types of things. and for an administration that during the campaign made a lot of hay, rightfully so i would say about a meeting that then attorney general loretta lynch had on the airplane with ex-president bill clinton. these types of communications are very, very sensitive. and you would think that this administration would try to steer clear of them. not sure if under reince priebus s retelling of events what he should have done differently. should the fbi have been in that position where it was updating him in the course of the investigation? that s the question that the fbi has to answer. urg did the campaign that bill clinton had that meeting on an airplane, they were idling on the tarmac there with loretta lynch, both of them said, hey, it was just an innocent friendly conversation. certainly reince priebus, the trump campaign at the time had a different opinion. tim kearny, is the white house, is the trump white hous
reporter: well the president doing another executive order. relating to regulation. asking that when new regulations are added in any agency, that they scrub the books and look for other regulations that could be dropped. so if if you add a in new one, take others away to try to refine how much regulation is especially affecting business. this was a product of one of the working groups the president set up with a number of ceos. they were in the white house today when he signed that executive order. steve. all right, kelly o donnell at the white house, thanks for that. trade, one of the issues that donald trump addressed today at cpac and the president doing so by invoking an unlikely ally. a lot of bernie people voted for trump, do you know why? he s right on one issue, trade. he was right about trade. our country is being absolutely devastated with bad trade deals. so he was right about that, but we ve got a lot of bernie support. so actually i like bernie. okay, i like berni
lawyers would have gotten would have spotted right away. that s why our editorial on the night of the order said let s nut on ice, run it through some more agencies, and come up with a cleaner, narrower one that s more focussed on protecting u.s. from terrorists coming into the country. i want to take a bigger picture look at trump s political standing and a lot of attention is paid and we can put this up on the screen, gaal op does a daily poll. 42% in record time. by far a record he crossed 50% in the disapproval side. so that s one element here, i also want to put these numbers up. this was just before the election, donald trump was also getting terrible numbers just before he won the presidential election. look at this. 35% said he had a temperament to be president, 38% said he was qualified to be president, only 40% said they had a positive opinion of him and yet he won the election. tim, i m curious, from a standpoint of republicans on capitol hill who so far has
