Mccain. Minutes ago joe biden whom the president calls, quote, a low i. Q. Individual. Sarah westwood is at the white house. On a weekend after 50 people were murdered in new zealand by a White Nationalist, that was not the top of mind of the president s tweets at all. Why . Thats a great question and one that many people are asking after President Trump spent the weekend going after the late senator john mccain tweeting about reruns of saturday night live, trying to encourage fox news to bring back a Television Host that he likes. George conway, a conservative who has been highly critical of President Trump throughout his time in office took the twitter to question the president s Mental Fitness after this weekend of outrage. George conway writing his condition is getting worse. He shared an entry from a manual diagnosing mental disorders. Kellyanne conway says she does not agree with her husband when it comes to this topic. I dont share those concerns. I have four kids. I was getting out of the house this morning before i got here to talk to the president about substance. I may not be up to speed on all of them. Reporter the obvious split in opinion has been sort of a subject of interest for a little while, George Conway frequently tweeting out barbs against the president. President trump has been asked about the disagreement in the past. It was in november. He said, he referred to George Conway and said he was only speaking out to get publicity for himself. Sarah westwood, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Lets talk about it. Our political analysts here, philip mud. Gentlemen, good morning to you both. In the words, ron, it was a weekend of nonstop grievances for the leader of the free world. You would think that the top of that list would be the sick individual who carried out that attack in new zealand. Why wasnt it . First of all, it is consistent with his pattern all the way through his political career. Go back to the weekend in march 2016 when he would not immediately condemn david duke and his support before a group of southern primaries. He will not draw a line that excludes this kind of extremist radical violence because it is on a continuum. It is the far end of a continuum of views that are uneasy about demographic change, uneasy about cultural change, that view muslims as more likely to be prone to violence or islam isnt compatible with american ideals and views. His coalition is centered on the portions of america that share to some degree those concerns. That doesnt mean that they are radicalized and going to commit violence. It does mean that he is unwilling to kind of separate that out. That has been consistent all the way through. It is a future not above the way he talks about race. All that anyone has to do is look at the stats from the adl, from the Justice Department on the rise in White Nationalist hate and action and murders in this country and around the world. And when the president was asked about it over the past few days does he think it is on the rise his answer was no. The Prime Minister of new zealand her simple answer was no because the evidence shows it. I wonder from your standpoint given your background in the cia what not explicitly condemning the White Nationalist part of this or pointing out this is on the rise, what does that do in terms of opening the door for concerns about future attacks . Do you fear that it gives individuals some sick belief that theyre not going to be condemned directly for this kind of thinking and behavior . I mean, i think there are two implications. One is the one you are discussing which is what i call validation. Im not suggesting that the president is saying what is happening is appropriate. Im saying a subgroup of people will say violence is okay just like we saw among islamic extremists. If you dont directly confront them day after day, some group of them will say this validates what i believe. I think there is a more boring issue. Let me bore you for 20 seconds. If we cannot have a conversation about the threat at the political level, the bureaucracy particularly at the fbi and Counter Terrorism center will continue to say that politicians want us to focus on islamic extremism. They are not starting a conversation to say why dont we spend more supre supremeicists. Murders in the u. S. Just last year more than doubled from 2017. 50 White Supremacists were responsible for 59 of all extremist related fatalities in the u. S. In 2017. Those are the indisputable facts. Does the unwillingness so far or clearly not top of mind for the president condemn those facts or just say yes those are the facts . Does it move the needle at all for the American People . Look, i think there are two elements. There is the one that you are mentioning that he will not immediately condemn in the same way that he would violence by undocumented immigrants, for example. That sends i think a clear signal. He is doing something else, as well. Something more affirmative. He is continuing to use language that by now is very clear, animates and elevates those at the radical end of this movement. The president talks about immigrants as invaders. He talks about the country as facing an invasion. This is language that when they hear i think from the president the most radical extremes see as evidence that they are advancing in society, that their views are gaining ground. He knows that by now and he continues to use that language. Do you agree, phil . I think so. I mean, there is a consistent message here which is the president builds up a problem. Invaders coming from across the border, a muslim ban. The problem with north korea, he created a problem with the little rocket man and got off the plane and said i solved it. What the president has to do is say despite whether you know it, we have a significant threat and i am the stable genius to solve it. I think the message is clear. He wants to be the solver in chief. You cant do that without create ag problem in the first place. Appreciate you both on this this morning. Also right now, there is a man hunt underway in the netherlands after a mass shooting inside a tram. Authorities say three people are dead, nine injured, three of those are in serious condition. Right now the authorities are not ruling out terrorism as a potential motive. This hour a turkish born man is being named as the suspect and police are warning the public do not approach. Earlier today in new zealand the Prime Minister vowed to roll out new and tighter gun laws in ten days. Authorities are investigating what they could or should have known about the alleged gunman before he murdered 50 people and wounded dozens more in two Christ Church mosques on friday. Martin savidge joins us this morning in Christ Church. The pain there, the utter shock is so palpable, a place by definition is so welcoming to outsiders. Reporter if anyone put a list together and said which country would you pick, that would be the last to have an attack like this, new zealand would have been it. That has been shattered not just for people that live in this country but for much of the world. That clearly is not the case. It is striking, poppy, how similar what has transpired here we can measure against a litany of mass killings that have taken place in the United States. What i cannot explain to you is just it has never happened here before and they never thought it would happen here. Just like in the United States after a massive death toll caused by guns, the debate over gun control. In this country, they have fairly liberal laws when it comes to gun ownership at least compared to other nations in the region. Compared to the u. S. It is higher. You have to get a permit. For that, there is a very strict vetting process before you can buy guns. The gunman was able to get quite an arsenal including semiautomatic weapons. Today the Prime Minister met with her cabinet. They have begun to roll out what is going to be new slalegislati gun reform has been controversial in the past. Even though the country says it will move forward it is potentially still going to get some pushback. As to the investigation, the gunman acted alone. Authorities want to know was he supported in advance. Did anyone in his family or in the public or police miss red flags. Thank you for being on the ground for all of your reporting.

President trump has renewed his attacks on john mccain, attacking mccain for giving a copy of the socalled dossier to the fbi. Lets talk about that with republican congressman jim banks, serves in the u. S. Navy reserve and served this country in afghanistan. Let me thank you for your service and your continued service to this country. Great to be with you. Its nice to have you. Your words about senator john mccain in the past, quote an pa american hero. His strength and sacrifice will always be remembered. Are you concerned about what the president is writing about the late senator on twitter . As you said, i served in the navy reserves. John mccain is the ideal role model for Public Service for me and so many others. I had the chance to express that to cindy mccain recently. I served in afghanistan with senator mccains son. I understand the president s frustrations with the Russian Investigation and with the Health Care Vote over a year ago. We need to move on with that and focus on the issues. The president wants to focus on other issues and get the investigation behind us so we can get back to work for the American People. Does it concern you to read what the president wrote about john mccain this weekend . Obviously, i disagree strongly with the president s sentiments about john mccain the person. My tweets and public expressions have been very different from that. I dont know any republican in the Republican Party today to who is focussed on a poor or negative reputation of john mccain in the past. I think many of us have praised him over the past several months after his death. Except for the president. Lets move on to the horrific attack in new zealand. 50 people dead. You have 30 in the hospital, children, nine in intensive care. The president condemned the attack. He has not explicitly condemned the White Nationalism that clearly led to this attack. When asked if its on the rise around the world, he said i dont really think so. Its a small group of people that have a very serious problem. You tweeted otherwise. You tweeted this, Leadership Matters when it comes to condemning hate and radical extremism. Would you call the president s denial of the facts here leadership . I didnt take his statements as denial of fact. I mean, he did reject what happened in new zealand. Obviously, he has rejected the hate that led to that. None of us can be emphatic enough in the rejection of hate and radical extremism that causes situations like these. I agree with you that no one can be explicit enough in rejecting that. Just a point of fact here, he did dispute the facts. He was asked, does he think White Nationalism is on the rise . And his words were, i really dont. But it is. You know the adl numbers. I guess im asking you as someone who says leadership is so important on this front, would you call his denial of the facts leadership . I dont blame donald trump anymore for what happened in new zealand than i blame chelsea clinton. Its not healthy for an obsession on that type of blame. You think facts matter. I know you think that numbers matter. And the statistics bear out the antidefamation leagues statistics show that White Nationalism and White Nationalistdriven murders have risen. They doubled, more than doubled in 2017 alone. So the president saying i dont think this is the case, does that concern you . I took the president s comments at face value for what he said in rejecting the hate that led to the incident in new zealand. The fact of the matter is, we need to call out hate in all of its forms whether its White Nationalism, antisemitism, islam phobia. Thats what we have done in the congress. As i have said before in the tweet that you mentioned, when White Nationalism reared its ugly head, they stripped steve king of his Committee Assignments. Unfortunately, with representative omar and others who have made antisemitic comments, that hasnt been appropriately dealt with in the congress today. Thats where Leadership Matters where we havent seen leadership to the scale that we should in the congress today. As you know it took Years Congress after congress after Congress Steve king kept saying the same things and was not stripped of Committee Assignments until now. Until Kevin Mccarthy became the republican leader. While others didnt deal with it before, he did. Back to the president and what he chose to write about this weekend, for example. Fight hard for judge jeanine. He is calling on fox news to fight for an anchor there who is suspended for questioning if a member of congress is basically unamerican or not. Where is her allegiance . Is it to the constitution . In the hours, days following the attack that murdered 50 muslims the president is fighting for judge gene piero. Is that appropriate . What happened in new zealand was a tragedy. We cant do enough. We cant be emphatic enough to call out the hate that led to it. I am not obsessed with the president s twitter feed. I dont read what the president tweets on a minute by minute basis. Im hard at work in the house of representatives on the issues that matter. Last week one of the stories that didnt get enough attention for example was the democrats sending Smoke Signals that they are not going to put a budget on the floor of the house and address significant budget issues for our country. Meanwhile, as our debt rises, 22 trillion plus those are the issues that im focussed on. Im not obsessed on what the president is tweeting minute by minute. They are official statements from the white house. On the issue of budget, let me ask you this, because you are chairman of the rsc budget. You wrote, i had the opportunity to thank the president for his fiscally conservative leadership. Here is the thing. Under this president , the federal deficit is up 77 in the first four months of this year alone. The Congressional Budget Office projects the annual deficit will hit over a trillion dollars per year starting in 2022. Is that really fiscally conservative leadership . The Budget Proposal that the president released last week is fiscally conservative leadership it would balance at a 12 to 15 year mark. It would make a number of reforms to drive down the national debt. In 15 years a deficit that the president said he could get rid of and that the tax cuts contributed to. And as the chairman we will put out a budget that will balance in less than ten years. The fact of the matter is the president put forward a Budget Proposal that balances, that drives down the national debt. Now we need the democrats to do something about it. If nancy pelosi is signaling that she refuses to put a budget on the floor, then we will see the numbers continue to rise at a pace that will impact my daughters future in a way that is unacceptable. Congressman jim banks, i appreciate your time this morning. Keep us posted on that because it is really important to all of our children. Again, thank you for your service to this country. Thank you. Great to be with you. Beto orourkes fundraising breaks records. What does that 6 million in the first 24 hours really mean . A. This is a very difficult job. Failure is not an option.
