President trump. The numbers are record setting. Also, who should be happy about that Georgia Special election . Democrats who came close . We have defied the odds. Or the republicans that forced a runoff. And the oreilly factor. What bill oreilly did for the conservative movement and what his departure could do now. Joining me are savanna guthrie. Peggy nunan, and cornell belcher. Welcome to sunday, its meet the press. The longest running show in television history, celebrating our 70th year. Good sunday morning, after being elected mayor of new york, he walked the streets saying how am i doing. President traump has dismissed the 100 day mark and also raced to meet it. We have a new poll to tell us how americans think the president is doing. In short, not well. 40 of those polled approve of his performance so far. And by far the lowest we have recorded at this stage of any presidency in our 25 year history of this poll. 64 say he is off to a fair or poor star. And finally 46 say they feel more hopeful with President Trump, 52 say they feel more doubtful. Compare that to obamas 6430 split on that question. Most of mr. Trumps term is still ahead of him. He has plenty of time to turn things around, but he is waiting for a big win to allow him to declare 100 day victory. No particular rush, well see what happens. Friday he tried to minimize the 100 day benchmark calling it a ridiculous standard. That didnt stop him from announcing a big rally in pennsylvania on the 100 day mark. No administration has michig accomplished more in the first 90 days. Candidate trump promised to introduce ten specific pieces of legislation and fight for their passage. Were going to have the biggest tax cut since Ronald Reagan. The repeal and replace obama care act. Impenetrable, tall, beautiful, southern border wall. We will cancel every obama l illegal executive order. But they have failed to pass any significant piece of legislation. The obama care repeal was yanked from the house floor. His travel ban is stalled in the kours, and tax reform has been pushed from the summer to the end of the year. His one big accomplishment, neil gorsuch was largely delivered by mitch mcconnell. Confidence in mr. Trumps president ial qualities has eroded even on the attributes where he performs best. He is down seven points on being firm and decisive, down six on changing washington. Now the president is scrambling for a legislative victory on health care but signaling it it might not get done. Still in an interview, he promised to roll out a massive tax cut next week. Well have a big announcement on wednesday with tax reform, but capitol hill will be focused on funding the government that shuts down at midnight on friday, the 99th day in office, unless congress can pass a spending bill. A jittery Republican Congress is returning to washington after two weeks of facing down constituents at town halls. I want to make sure you have health care. And increasingly republicans have become comfortable criticizing their own president. I do wish he would spend more time in washington dc. That is what we have the white house for. And joining me now is President Trumps chief of staff reince priebus. Welcome back. The president did tweet this on friday, no matter how much i accomplish in the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, it has been a lot, including sc, media will kill. And maybe that will be your response to me question here, but just before the election, he made these legislative promises. Ethics reform, more funding for the military, dealing with crime and drugs, they were all supposed to be legislative action that was announced, not necessarily passed, but only one of those legislative priorities has even come close. Why does he say it is ridiculous and them promise all of this action. First of all, if you look at the promises he made on immigration, border crossings down by 70 . You look at tpp, one of the First Executive orders he signed, look at ethics, every employee of the west wing signed an ethics pledge. Youre never going to lobby when you leave this place and never for a foreign country. Look at neil gorsuch. First time a Supreme Court judge has been sworn in since 1881. The idea of major legislation not being passed in the first 100 days. Barack obama had a vague stimulus package that was prebaked. George bush didnt get any my jor legislation until june. Bush 41 a year and a half later. Nixon, one year, johnson 225 days. Here is the deal, the president signed over 28 bills already, Health Care May happen next week, it may not. Were hope physical it will. As far as Border Security, the military. We have them negotiating one of the biggest increases in military spending. One standard that really is, i would think potentially troubling, for senate confirmation, just filling the jobs, the empty positions in government, he has nominated 45. George w bush hat 95 nominations, what is taking so long for you guys to just fill the political appointments. Youre way down here. Actually not. Let me clear this up. First of all, Chuck Schumer and the democrats have done something that Many Democrats and democratic leading pundants said is inexcusable. Theyre holding up nominees these are not nominated. If you had 190 nominated and let me finish. Look. Even on david schilken who passed 1000 in the senate, schumer still took up three hours of debate. You cant clear someone for nomination into the senate. So when you talk about who we have for assistant as secretary of hud or the state department, they have been chosen. However when you choose one of those people, the process is you have to send that person to the office of government clearance. You cant get the clearance for 30 or 40 days after you choose the person. Theyre in que. So you acknowledge youre behind. But but because of historical unbelievable obstruction from senato senators acting i president said, you look at rex tillerson, the secretary of state has direct authority over the people he chooses to fill the positions within the department of state. If he gets picked, he gets submitted in december, he doesnt get confirmed until later in the year. A secretary of commerce that was chosen in november, not confirmed until february. They will take the time to choose who his under secretaries are. The under secretaries chosen need 30 days to go through clearance. I have to move on because it is easy. It doesnt make sense. How does it make sense. These folks are not preparing for their own staff to decide who theyre coming into office. Let me ask you about the government shut down, run out of money, if a bill is not passed by the end of the week. Your budget director said you want to have a down payment on the border wall in that government funding bill. If you dont get it, will the president veto the funding bill . We already have seen progress in regard to getting money for Border Security in the cr. Im confidence that we will get something complimentary to the president. But it may not be the wall itself . It will be enough in the negotiation for us to move forward with the construction or the planning or enough of us to move forward through accept for us to get through and speaker ryan said its not going to gum up getting this funding bill done . No, we expect the priorities to be reflective in the cr. We expect a massive increase in military spending. We expect money for Border Security in this bill, and there ought to be. The president won overwhemingly. Are you okay if the money is not designated for security but not the wall. I think as long as the president s priorities are reflected, and the rebuilding of our military, and there is enough as far as flexibility for the border wall and Border Security, i think were okay with that, but were still negotiating with appropriators. Health care, are you okay if speaker ryan says we need more time to find votes . I would like to have a vote this week, but on monday well still be here working for the American People, whether or not Health Care Repeal and replace comes on friday, saturday, or sunday, its a marathon not a sprint. Were hopeful for this week, but it doesnt have to happen to define our success. Has the president taken sides. Is he unofficially hoping Marine Le Pen gets in the run off . He will support whoever the winner is. We have a long term relationship that is historical with the french people and government. And no matter who wins that relationship will continue. So his tweet is not him showing preference . No, i think he may have some opinions as far as who he thinks might win, but certainly not a preference other than a rightcenter person that believes in free markets. It costs 200,000 to be a member of maralago. The other club is 300,000. Shouldnt the American Public know who they are if they have bought memberships since the president took office . No, this is a private business and organization. It is a private club. So if someone decides this is the best way to get access to you or the pakistan there is nothing the American People can do about it . President trump, he is the boss. They listed 20 people with access, some of them the president doesnt even talk to, he talks to a lot of people but that doesnt change his views. If you look at him talking about trade in the 1908 and the 1990s, she no different. People like to talk about, argue about who is talking to him, who is influencing him to make decisions, its trump, it has always been his agenda and it will always be his agenda. He will be delivering to the American People, putting america first. I will leave it there. I know you a busy week ahead of you. The government will stay open . I believe it will. Joining me now is nancy pelosi, thank you for being here. Thank you from texas. Youre coming from a state that might be impacted by a border wall, is there any scenario that you will support or that incomes will help keep the government open if there is money to build the wall . The democrats do not support the wall. I think the republicans on the border states do not support the wall. They had the votes in the house, the senate, and the white house. The burden to keep it open is on the republicans. Theunmoral, expensive, and unwise. He didnt say he would pass billions of cost for the wall on the American People. Elections have consequences, republicans are in charge as you just pointed out, but there are some democratic Spending Priorities that you want to push for, including making sure that while obama care is still law it is fully functioning. What is wrong with giving the president his money far border wall in exchange for a priority that is not his, keeping obama care facultyully functional. What is wrong with that horse trading . What is wrong with that scenario is the wall. He talks about how tall it is, how will pay for it, and all of the rest of that. You have to understand this part if is a border. The president , i think, talking about this wall, is expressing a sign of weakness. He is saying i cant control our borders, i have to build a wall. We would certainly like to. We have a responsibility to control our borders with b building a wall is not an answer right here. The majority of whether or not it is a good thing or a bad thing for the party, is the energy in the Democratic Party a bit overstated if john ossoff gets the same number in that district . Hillary clinton was a famous person running for president of the United States in high profile election. He ran and is running an off season election. Low turn out for the rest. A young man were proud of that an someone that attracted such support. It is about him and the commitment he made to the people of that district. What should unify the Democratic Party. What should make someone a democrat or not a democrat. There has been a lot of back and forth among abortion rights activists about supporting a democrat in omaha that happens to be pro life. At some point, the Democratic NationalCommittee Chairman actually had to put out the t l following statement, he said i fundamentally disagree with either mellos personal beliefs about womens reproduck tiff health, it is a promising step that the candidate now shares the partys position on fundamental rights. Each candidate that runs as a democrat should do the same. Every woman should be able to make her own Health Choices about that. Can you be a democrat and the support of the Democratic Party if youre prolife . Of course. I have served for many years in congress with members who have not shared my very positive, my family would say, aggressive position on promoting a womans right to choose. What you asked at the first part is about what unifies democrats. People say to me all of the time, you do such a good job june if iing the house democrating and i say i dont. Our values unify us. Were unified with our commitment to americas working families. That is job creation. Budget policies, that invest in the future, good paying jobs, and thats what we like to see for the debate. For the president of the United States. Show us the jobs, where is the infrastructure bill . There is many promises made, promises unbroke broken. And what where the infrastructure bill. The president was supposed to have a strong infrastructure bill coming. The infrastructure bill is one of the biggest secrets in washington dc, second only to the president not showing his tax returns. We need to see those so we can see how his tax policy will affect his own tax situation. We need to see them so question see what is the hold that the russians have on him politically, financially, personally. This is about job creation. Job creation for the middle class and working families who aspire to is and that aspire to it. I want to show two clips of tv adds run in montana and georgia, take a look. Nancy pelosi put america 20 trillion in debt and john ossoff is on her side. Can you trust quist and pelosi with your money . Are you at all concerned that you could play a outsized role that if youre more unpop familiar a specif ular in a specific district you could hurt a democrat. These ads show the wrups bany of their own initiatives, but since you brought it up and im glad you did. I think it is important for the voters in those districts to know who the candidates will be voting with. Will they be voting with paul ryan whoments to eliminate the private care if is not a question of the president , its a question of the policy. If you want to vote for someone like paul ryan for speaker, it is a vote to dismantle medicaid and to eliminate the guarantee of medicare. Medicare is a guarantee. You take away the guarantee, you eliminate medicare as we know it, and to move on to private by the way, those views are shared by the president s appointees to his cabinet. I will leave it there. I have more questions but never enough time. Coming from texas, thank you. Coming up, russia, syria, and north korea. How is the president doing on Foreign Policy . Later that tight congressional race in georgia, but we may want to add special elections to that. Why democrats we are back here. Cornell belcher is joining us. Savanna guthrie, coanchor of the today show and robert costa who has just been named a new moderator. First 100 days, everyone loves to talk about it when they run, hate it when it happens, how should we look at it . I think, look, for one thing, we all love politics, we focus on it every day. So were watching literally every day he is up, down, on the side. Were seeing lots of trends. I think its fair to say of those that support the president , theyre Event Horizon is longer, theyre taking the long view. I didnt find the poll today to be that dramatic. I kind of thought after the first 100 days he had, not so bad. The big thing was in the tape opening the show. Neil gorsuch worked brilliantly, went straight through. Implications for a generation. Big win. Failure legislatively of the health care, obama care replacement. A bit disastrous. Now i think what is most threatening at the end of 100 days is the sense of confusion. Is the white house talking to congress . Is there a tax bill being put together. A sense of wow, what is going on here. I was shocked by those numbers. You look at these unprecedented numbers in a honeymoon period, there is time to recover, but historically no, we dont have their numbers Getting Better after the honey moon period. 44 polarity think that he is less educaffective than other president s, and you have a real erosion of his brand, some of his brand and decisiveness and strength. All of those numbers are down, chuck, and if im the white house, im looking and im shocked. And the 25 honesty number, we have never seen that before. Let me point to something that you eluded to here, paul cain, you will enjoy this. The model of strategic chaos, worked well in the campaign, but in government it doesnt work. There is a good chance that the week ahead becomes a lot of sound and theory. That is the issue, and bob can speak to it better than i can, but is he talking to congress . Do they have a legislative path out there . It is kind of shocking, but nothing is shocking any more that on friday he says a big tax reform deal, and according to reports surprised even people in the administration. That gets me back to the 100 days of the Obama Administration or frankly any administration. They say dont hold us to this stupid standard. These 100 days. Count it as another flipflop, but it is ridiculous standard. Too bad for him he embraced it all through the cam tan up until and including when neil gorsuch was sworn in and he said this was in 100 days. Theyre all grumbling. Theyre trying to move on taxes, health care, and trying to keep the government funded. On health care the white house is negotiating with the hardline freedom caucus. On tax reform, theyre probably just looking at tax cuts. And government funding, th
