that wraps up this hour of "msnbc live." my colleague katy tur picking it up right now. this hour of "msnbc live" round 2. are preexisting conditions back on the chopping block? global tensions. president trump is set to hold a press conference next hour as they ramp up action on north korea, iran and, get this, canada. >> because of canada, some awful things have happened to our dairy farmers and others, and we're going to start working on that. plus the curious case of

judge coriel. >> i have a judge who is a hater of donald trump. a hater. he's a hater. his name is gonzalo curiel. >> curiel is back on another case involving the president. curious? chris, how much does the white house have an appetite to get health care done? >> reporter: well, they want it done, and i think you know the reason why. these promises that he made, he was going to do so much on day one, he was going to get things done. health care was at center. promises he made. it failed. now he's looking at all this coverage about the first 100 days, right? and fairly or not, it's a standard by which we've judged presidents for a very long time, a tradition dating back to franklin roosevelt. so you have a situation where this is a key promise that he

made. there is some movement on t although obviously members of the house have been back in their own districts for a couple of weeks. he thinks, and at least the people inside the white house thinks, there is a chance this could get done. how complicated is it? extremely complicated, and remember, the last time this happened, they were expressing a lot of confidence that it was going to get done, and the people who have to vote on it don't even know the specifics of it. but right now this big push is indeed coming from the white house. you remember that back in the obama era, he signed the lily ledbetter act and 10 other pieces of legislation in the first 100 days. there is no legislative accomplishments here, so even when you talk to senior white house officials, they'll point to judge gorsuch. they'll talk to what they believe are strong moves he has made, including the response to syria. no legislative accomplishments, so they're putting a lot of the weight, as much weight as they possibly can behind this. it's going to be a tough hill to

climb, katy. >> trying to get those approval ratings up. chris, we are hearing, though, that preexisting conditions and essential health care benefits might be on the chopping block. donald trump campaigned on this idea that everybody is getting health care, that he's not letting anybody die in the streets. is that a campaign promise that we expect to be broken if he signs onto a bill that doesn't have these two things? >> reporter: yeah, if it doesn't have these two things, he's obviously broken a campaign promise. also bringing members of the freedom caucus on board, it will be very complicated. you have two sides to this. you have people concerned about very specific parts of this, people who are concerned about how much money is involved in this, and you still have the folks who are concerned that they live in a district where a lot of people, frankly, are happy about the coverage they got from health care. so until we actually get a look at this and know what the details are, not just the rumors about what the details are, it's very tough to say where this is going. but it's hard to see a package, frankly, katy, that's going to

include all of the promises that he made. now, part of this, obviously, is that every president comes to washington, and when it comes to legislation, they see how difficult it is to actually do the things they promised. he's not the first president by far that's come here and realized that there were roadblocks along the way. but he made so many promises and so many specific promises, and the real concern, i think, for this white house here is they want to show some kind of legislative victory, and boy, is the clock ticking to try to get something done in the next ten days. that in and of itself on almost any piece of legislation is a tough hill to climb. >> we are on day 90 as chris jansing just alluded to, day 90 of that first 100 days. chris, thank you for being at the white house. with me is the congressman. thank you for being here. it's nice to see you in person and not just by that remote

camera we talk on. tell us the deal. >> i'm not sure. we're on recess. we go back next tuesday. the health care system is in need of repair. there is a balancing act that the leadership and the white house have to come to. any time they modify a bill or amend it, they have to make sure they don't lose votes already. >> are you having a conversation at the white house? >> we have the meamendment that came out, the mcarthur amendment. it doesn't really address the concerns i have, but the hope is they don't lose other people. >> so preexisting conditions and essential health care benefits are on the chopping block for this. how does this plan get any moderate support? >> i just don't know. i think one of the things with the essential benefits is they're going to allow states to decide -- >> to opt out. >> yeah, they could opt out. i don't know if that gains people votes in certain states,

that they're looking to get votes from certain members or not. but for the people of new york, i have great concerns of how this is affecting seniors, what it's going to do for people who are working hard and paying for their own insurance and can't even use the tax credits they're allotted to help pay for those benefits. and new york city, the amendment that allowed the new york state counties outside the city to be relieved of their responsibility from medicaid payments, that burden now falls on the people of new york city. i can't vote for a bill that's going to cause my district and my city more taxes without getting benefits. >> so not a deal for you? >> no. >> your republican colleagues and your colleagues, period, in congress have been home for this recess, and a number of them are holding town halls. let's take a look at just the sort of pushback they're getting right now. >> do you simply believe

. >> that's congressman raul labrador of indiana talking to his constituents saying he does not believe health care is a right. do you believe health care is a basic human right? >> health care is an american issue. some things the government should do for their citizens and give them opportunities. now, we're a free country. people could make that choice for themselves, but we have to allow opportunities. health care is one that we have to allow -- >> allowing opportunities. is that the same thing as saying it's a basic human right? >> i'm not sure what a basic human right is. people use different terminology, but your government should provide you with

opportunities to get health care that's good for your family, not decide what health care is good for your family, allow to you make those choices. when you live in a free society like we do, kate, people make poor choices. >> are you saying the people that aren't going to be able to afford health care in some circumstances are just making poor choices? >> no, i'm saying people could opt not to have health insurance. there will no longer be a mandate you don't have to have health insurance. >> do you think that's a good choice? >> no, i don't. you're allowed to make poor choices. >> but if someone decides not to have health care, doesn't that affect people negatively that opt to pay for health care? doesn't that mean you should require people to have health care if it doesn't bring down the whole system? >> there are things we shouldn't require people in a free society and demanding people should buy something is not american. >> what about single parent? everyone gets health care. >> i don't know if we could afford that, for one. if you ask anyone in that single

payer, many canadians come to the united states for health care. >> i'm sorry, sir, that's a talking point that's been disproven. >> there is a doctor that says bang your head with a hammer and then wait in the dmv line. that's how long it would take to get care. >> congressman, i appreciate your time. thank you so much for joining us here in the studio. it's great to see your face in person. it's a busy week for the trump administration on the world stage. next week donald trump will host israel's prime minister at the white house ahead of his visit next month as president. as we face policy crises on multiple fronts, the secretary made some remarks about putting iran on notice. >> iran has the potential to follow the same path as north korea and take the world along with it.

the evidence is clear, iran's provocative actions threaten the united states, the region and the world. >> meantime, north korea rampd -- ramped up its aggression and warned that it may launch a, quote, super mighty preemptive strike against the united states. joining me now to discuss, gideon rose, editor of foreign affairs magazine, and in washington, retired lieutenant colonel, adam schafer. what does that rattling from north korea mean, super strike? >> i think it's exactly that, sabre rattling, as you said. i think foreign policy professionals tend to look at the situation a little differently than anybody else in the media and the political world. we see this not as a question of personality or of policy choices but the sort of process that an adult, mature, comprehensive set of policies on foreign policy.

so far they're making moves and even taking some actions like the syria strike, there is no evidence that the trump administration has anything resembling what we would consider a normal or effective foreign policy process which serious options are presented to serious people and presented with a real decision on affirmative action. it's kind of hard to interpret individual statements by individual people which may be contradictory to other statements from other people. . >> what do you think about where the policy stands, especially as it comes to the u.s. karl vint sent? we were told it was on its way to the korean peninsula and it actually wasn't. do you see there to be a disconnect there or potentially a problem with those sort of misleading, or at the very most generous, confusing statements? >> look, there's two things going on that are inevitable. first, jim mattis as secretary of defense doesn't have his primary staff in place.

there has been a fairly public food fight regarding who is going in as his deputies, and i think this is true across the national spectrum. secondly, i think there are folks, to the point of the other guest, that i don't think you have a fully formed staff who understands how to formulate policy and strategy coherently. h.r. mcmaster has no background in the pacific or developing nuclear weapons. neil gorsuch, while he understands the threats, has no understanding of radical islamists. so i feel critical of some of the sdilgsz tdecisions the trum administration has made because they're putting people in charge who don't have any experience with what's going on right now. so until you have issues like i and others have done, you may not get policy and you're seeing a level of chaos in that instance. >> will the lieutenant colonel use this opportunity to give the trump administration some advice? >> some advice?

if you put someone with that kind of experience, you can actually manage those individual who not necessarily have been there, done that -- >> do you have any names in mind? >> of course. you always have names in mind. you don't be in this town for 30 years and not have names in mind, but it wouldn't be fair for me to mention their names on here without notifying them first. to be effective, you have people who have done this sort of thing, worked this issue for a long time -- i'll bring up my friend jim woolsey. jim and i have been friends for a long time, the former director of the cia. we've brought a number of issues to the table and i think he would be a great guy to be more involved than what he has been. i'm just saying there are folks who really have dealt with the north korean issue -- i know jim has -- and other people who have done these things. i think it could bring a great deal of focus operationalwise who could really help this

moment. >> reports say he left because he wasn't being listened to. he didn't have any say in anything. >> jim and i have spoken about this. i know what jim's issues are. part of the issue, and i'll say this because jim has said this publicly, i don't think they gave much direction about where they were going. this goes to the point about the chaos. i think there's been some missteps, and i think some of the chaos created by not having a full handle on all of the resources, but, you know, it's a transitional period. if you ask this question of me three months from now, i would be a lot harsher in my commentary of what they're doing. you know, we're coming up on the first 100 days. this has been a very difficult 100 days. as you mentioned, there are a lot of things going on. they're departing from policy norms, the strategic patience that's being shown with north korea is done, and i think you have to show something. >> major diplomatic issues,

major policy issues that are somewhat controversial. i'm sorry to make you wait so long for the next question, but i want to ask you briefly about the iran deal and where this country stands. secretary tillerson had a bit of strong language yesterday when it comes to iran calling them state sponsors of terrorism, saying they're going to review the iran deal to talk about their relationship to terror organizations overseas because that should have been part of the original deal. can they reanythinege on the or deal to talk about iran's sponsor of terrorism? could you put more regulations in place with that? what sort of problems would they face? >> these issues are very complicated, and the iran deal, the jocpa, took care of a certain set of issues, left other ones on the table. and the trump administration, i don't think they actually van iran policy. they know from the campaign that iran is bad, that the deal is bad, and that whatever obama did

has to be anesthetized. then they see there's people working in the specific narrow terms that it's supposed to and they have no other real strategy to put in place. so as with a lot of other things, from health care to syria to north korea, you have them sort of flailing around and saying things, but it's not clear to anybody who does this as a real job what they actually intend. the way i would put this is, you can sit down at a chess board and move some pieces around and say, i'm moving my pawn here and my knight there, but that doesn't mean you're actually playing chess. playing chess means you know what the pieces do, you have several moves planned out ahead and you have action you can use down the road. we had action on syria. there is absolutely no reason for anyone outside the administration to believe at this point that these guys linked that strike to any other broader set of policies regarding the syrian conflict, regarding assad, regarding russia or whatever. so regarding iran and north

korea, we just don't know. they're talking, but at this point their credibility is pretty low and they would probably be best advised not to talk and to appoint real people in real jobs and sit down and think through what they want to do, and only then talk and act. >> gideon rose and retired lieutenant colonel anthony schafer both giving some paralleled advice. president trump is taking on another ally, our neighbor to the north. yes, again. it begs the question, is trump stealing a move from southpark's playbook? ♪ ♪ it seems that everything has gone wrong since canada came along ♪ great canada, great canada ♪ they're not even a real country, anyway. the microsoft cloud helps

when i wi was in wisconsin r day, and i want to end and add by saying that canada, what they've done to our dairy farm workers, is a disgrace. it's a disgrace. we can't let canada or anybody else take advantage and do what they did to our workers and to our farmers. >> president trump is now targeting our neighbors to the north over their trade policies. it's not the first time he's gone after an ally of the united states. but canada is apparently not taking the criticism sitting down. they're firing back saying, canada does not accept the contention that canada's dairy

policies are the cause of financial loss for dairy farmers in the united states. joining me now is former republican congressman from illinois, jerry walsh, and doug cornell, press secretary to the democratic committee. this isn't the first time president trump has gone after an ally. what's your reaction when you see him targeting canada in the way that he just did? >> katy, he has a unique style. look, i don't agree with trump's protectionist policies and his opposition to free trade. his instinct to oppose free trade. but katy, this is where a lot of his appeal is. this is why he got elected. look, the average farmer, the average small town guy in michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania, they may not hear what you and i just heard. they hear the president sticking up for the little guy in america, so i think when he talks like this, i think it plays well with his voters.

it's the president sticking up for us. >> and doug, that is what the president ran on, this idea he would protect american workers and go after anybody he felt like we had an unfair deal with. canada? apparently he feels like we have an unfair deal with them when it comes to dairy farmers. how do democrats combat that? how do they say, no, we're actually much better for the american worker. >> i think the democratic party is better for the american workers on a whole set of issues. but on this specific issue, canada has actually served to create some bit of bipartisanship. because what you have here is senator chuck schumer, the minority leader who has actually suggested that canada is violating nafta. you've got a bipartisan coalition in congress with senator ron johnson, senator tami baldwin, paul ryan. you've got scott walker, you've got andrew cuomo all signing

onto letters and criticizing the canadian government. you're seeing a pushback by democrats and republicans in terms of these policies that canadian provinces are applying to dairy products that are being brought into canada. and so i think that actually, in this one instance, there may be some bipartisanship in washington to push back. >> absolutely. joe, the other topic of the day is donald trump nominating another ambassador. this time it is scott brown. he's going to be the ambassador to new zealand. take a look at what the local paper of new zealand is saying. "man tipped for u.s. ambassador role in new zealand a former nude model who supports wateoardi waterboarding. e we being mocked, joe? >> come on, katy, he's a handsome man. they give them away to their

friends. scott brown is a capable guy. there is a lot of sundown in new zealand. i think he'll look good down there. >> doug, all joking aside, is scott brown right for this job? >> look, we know that president trump has a long history of being infatuated with models, and it probably not surprising that he would name one to represent new zealand. >> all right. i'm going to leave it there. okay, guys. >> leave it there, katy. >> thanks, guys. >> i'm going to quit while we're ahead. dore fornell and joe walsh. remember the judge overseeing the trump university lawsuit? in a massive case of political irony, the two are heading back to court. this time, though, over the administration's move to deport a dreamer. and if you didn't know today is 4/20 and why it's significant, ask your neighbor, your banker, your dog walker, anyone, because a new poll is showing a lot of folks in this country are more pro-pot than

the country and break the conditions of his immigration status? >> what he tells us he was picked up by pcp on the 17th, quickly brought back in three hours. a few days later, he tried to reenter the country, was caught by pdp and brought back again. they said they don't have any record of that. that the first time they encountered him was when he jumped the fence and came into the country skr, and by doing se would have left the country which would have gone against his child protection, so they deported him. >> how in the world is the judge going to hear this case? i'm sure you've gotten a ton of reaction. >> well, you can imagine what it looks like, but a lot of people are wondering if the judge snatched the case when it was filed, if it was assigned to him

because of his history with president trump, but to be absolutely clear, that's not how these proceedings work. when you file a lawsuit in court, there is a rotating schedule of judges, and whenever a case comes in, the next judge on the list gets it. pure coincidence he ended up getting this one, but it definitely raised a lot of laughs once we saw who was assigned to the case. >> luck of the draw, if not crazy luck of the draw. you've been in touch with manuel montez. what's he doing now? >> he's been living in mexico for two months. he's basically miserable. he wants to come back. he has family here in the united states. he's been in the states since he was nine years old. yet we're not releasing exactly where he's living because esther fi -- terrified. he wanted to tell his story once and didn't want to do the rounds on tv and have reporters around his house all the time. he's basically keeping his head

the white house. according to a poll, only 16% of voters awarded president trump with an a, while 20% gave him an f. the assessment doesn't seem to be as rosy as the one the president recently gave himself. >> no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days. that includes our military on the border, on trade, on regulation, on law enforcement. we love our law enforcement. and on government reform. >> let's head to the north lawn of the white house where we find the wall street journal's eli stoekels. eli, first of all, congratulations on the new gig. >> thank you, katy. >> talk to me about these new polls. democrats, it doesn't look so rose i, but among republicans, it was better. 33% give him an a, 39% give him a b.

are those the only numbers that matter? >> i don't know that any of these matter. the president will only be president for the next three years. if anything, it's donald trump's obsession that's driving these numbers at the white house and the white house policy here as they scramble to put numbers on the board. he's the one that has given his tendency for hyperbole saying, no administration has done what we've done in the first 90 days. fdr has lots more legislation on his first 90 days. this last week before the 100-day benchmark, they're looking to not only avert a government shutdown now but talking about revising an obama repeal bill. it all seems rushed and chaotic, but there is a frenzy in the right wing so that this president can show voters that his first 100 days are the best

ever. >> you could argue the trump administration have had a few successes in the past few weeks. they would certainly argue neil gorsuch is one of them. and dropping the mother of all bombs in afghanistan. what would you say that says? >> the rhetoric from the campaign was just never very realistic even if it pushed the right buttons with some voters. he has reverse oddd on a lot of positions. he's learning about opolitics relateo do issues in north korea, related to issues in the milgd ea middle east. there is a steep learning curve for this president. it's pretty clear he was happy with the response to the military strikes in syria. he's talked about the praise he's gotten from republicans and democrats in the media, and this is an executive who covets evaluation and praise.

you would hope he doesn't care about what people in the media say, but those things do matter to the president. there are people comforted that in the first 100 days there are assertions of power like h.r. mcmaster to general james mattis, people who have experience in these matters and can help the president come up with foreign policy that is a little less ad hoc. youbs obviously he's coming into the white house with little or no political experience. >> mcmaster still leaves some gaping holes if you talk to experts like we did earlier in the show. i also remember when donald trump promised this cyber review that he was commissioning, that it would be done in 90 days in order to counterattack cyber warfare from places like russia. it's been 90 days. no word on any sort of review. >> right, and i think by creating that review, and what was really so far just has been

a photo op, that's all that amounts to so far, he also created some confusion. the nfc, national security council, isn't sure who is in charge of this. obviously the intel is still focused on cyber community, but not clooz aas clear as maybe it have been. donald trump is putting out a benchmark saying, we'll have a review in 90 days. he's got 150 days on the bio america review. there are a lot of benchmarks and time lines that have been put in place. obviously those are going to move around a little bit. this isn't as damaging as perhaps some other things he hasn't done, failing to repeal and replace obamacare like the republicans have been promising to do for six years. that's obviously a bigger, more glaring failure at this point way republican congress. but this does, again, just sort of add another data point to the list that people can look at when they say is donald trump following through on all the things he said? so far the answer is pretty

scattered and oftentimes no. >> you wonder if people remind him when he says things, people pay attention and reporters keep track. my new old media friend, eli stoekels, now at the wall street journal. thank you very much. >> thanks, katy. it was this time yesterday that news broke about bill o'reilly's departure from fox? what's next and how big is his payout? if you're just sitting around observing your walls, listening to echoing footfalls of tenants roping your halls, then this one is for you. do you think marijuana should be legalized nationally? so far, 95% of you say yes. keep voting. we'll be right back. i'm trying to get the first. over here we have quiet spaces for deep thoughts. the latest smart technology. and of course, personal mobility solutions... functional and pragmatic.
