donald trump accused ted cruz's father of having something to do with the kennedy assassination and accusedlintons of being murderers. a democrat going out and dropping an f bomb one time is not the same thing. and by the way, when you're president of the united states it is far more important to set a proper tone than some random -- >> he said something -- >> what has he said since he was president of the united states -- >> the residue of that, his twitter account has a picture of ted cruz's wife being compared to melania trump. he hasn't apologized. just last week there was a story about groups on the alt right that are militant groups that don paramilitary costume. these are groups that have sprung up based on donald trump's cultivating of this nationalism and condoning of violence and they are out there staging rallies where they are looking to beat up liberal demonstrators. >> that is not for a second to say anything that donald trump has said has anything to do with it. >> now believes we are blaming donald trump. if we get rid of obamacare people will die. republicans and donald tru

donald trump accused ted cruz's father of having something to do with the kennedy assassination. he accused the clintons of being murderers. as brian pointed out during the campaign, he, at least implicitly condoned violence at his rallies an democrat going out and dropping an f-bomb one time is not the same thing. and by the way, when you're president of the united states, it is far more important to set a proper tone than some random congressperson. >> well, he -- >> what's that? >> what has he said since he's been president of the united states since he was sworn in along those lines -- >> his twitter account literally still right now as a picture of ted cruz's wife -- an unflattering picture compared to melania trump. he hasn't taken any of these things down or retracted any of them or apologized. >> and just last week there was a front page story in "the new york times" about groups in the alt-right that are military groups, they don paramilitary costume, they're called the alt-knights and the proud boys. these are groups that have sprung up based on donald trump's cultivati

donald trump has said that ted cruz's dad killed jfk. he's been a birther. >> he has intimated that. >> so the reality, the bottom line, is that this is somebody who on his first face to face interaction with donald trump on the 6th of january, the first time he was in his presence, got the measure of his character and decided he need to document every word because he thought he was a liar. >> the director of the fbi saying, i found his -- my instincts around his character were that he was of such low character that i thought in the moment, this is a person who will lie about me. >> well, and this was one of the hallmarks of what happened today. comey -- he is trained to convince juries. anybody who appears before a jury knows you have to tell the jury a story. and whether you like what comey did today or not, you have to perhaps grudgingly admire he was a great storyteller. it had a beginning, middle and an end with just kind of detail. and he took charge of the narrative today. now, late in the day, if president trump and his sources so

presidente donald trump realiza este tipo de ataques, lo hizo varias veces en el pasado, especial en la campaÑa. trump se burlÓ de la cara de carly fiorina, de megan kelly, y del aspecto de la mujer de ted cruztivo de presidente donald trump es cambiar el tema para que no se hable del fracaso del plan de salud. si es asÍ, lo ha conseguido. es toda la informaciÓn, regresamos a los estudios. presentador: la casa blanca divulgÓ este viernes el sueldo del entorno del presidente y otros empleados. en total diez personas ganan el sueldo mÁximo permitido. ellos el jefe de gabinete, asesor stive, la consejera, el secretario de prensa spicer. el sueldo mÁs bajo de los reportados de quiÉn aceptÓ una remuneraciÓn reducida de 30.000 dÓlares como director del consejo econÓmico. 400 empleados entre ellos hispana helen ferrer ganando 115 mil dÓlares. un aviÓn se estrello dejando al menos a dos personas heridas. los bomberos mantuvieron cerrada la vÍa al menos dos horas. el piloto, antes del impacto, el piloto lo reportÓ. desnutrido y con huella de tortura rescato a un niÑo estadounidense llevado por su padre a ese paÍs. varios estados se niegan entregar informaciÓn de sus votantes para investigar un supues

donald trump. supported ted cruz for over a year for president, but i have come to understand that this man has amazing instincts with people, amazing business ack you mean, figures out when something makes sense and when something doesn't make sense. and one of the other members of congress just this morning was saying, i never realized until i have seen the president in bigon, the man really has a heart. kind of surprising to some folks, but you get the inkling of it the more you're around him and you see the way he treats kids and saw the way he treats children. we saw the way he was so good to all kids. he didn't care if they were democrats' kids or republicans' kids, but i do recall eight years ago, one of my friends from texas had a daughter, book and pen and saw kids lined up getting an autograph from president obama and she ran over to get an autograph and came back in tears because she said when he got to her, he said i'm not signing yours and walked away and her parents assured her, it was nothing personal. he just obviously had some kind of emergency. but then later on before the congression

ivanka trump never had a problem with ted cruz's father being part of the kennedy assassination, or donald not knowing about david duke or about the "lock her up" with hillary clinton, on and on. donald trump has made it to the white house by hitting the low road harder than everybody and being wolverine vicious and fearful as can be donald trump, so nobody can feel sorry for her. >> let's take a trip down memory lane at some of the things donald trump has said. listen to this. >> rosie o'donnell is disgust g disgusting, both inside and out. i don't know what i said, i don't remember. i view a person who is flat-chested as very hard to be a 10. we are led by very, very stupid people. this guy ted cruz is the single biggest liar i've ever dealt with in my life. but it's political bull[ bleep ], do you understand? i call him little mark, little mark. forget you. just forget it. [ cheers and applause [ cheers and applause ] >> let's defeat her. megyn kelly is a lightweight. this is a lightweight. this is not a reporter. if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out o

donald trump will make a decision. it has -- >> what about mike lee, ted cruz? >> they have to be on it. if they do nothing, it's like hang it up. hang up the shoes. let some real legislators do it. seven years later, we're all tired of this game. they're going to the think tanks and aei and saying we're the master budget negotiators. no, you're not. you're not an expert at anything except hot air. >> if they want to win in 2018 -- we have neil gorsuch. >> i don't know. i wasn't impressed with his first opinion. >> we'll see. >> a little long winded in my taste. he's trying to be scalia. we'll see. i'm sorry. >> of course, we talk russian on the program. >> it's the republican -- >> this is not msnbc. >> i speak russian. i'm part of the conspiracy. >> when is the last time you've been there? >> a few years ago. >> if they don't have 300 miles of the wall, if they don't have obamacare repeal and replaced and the tax cuts in place for the middle class, corporate america, if they don't have energy independence, they're risking losing everything. true or false? >> absolutely. i think at that

donald trump. the chicago cubs owner pose for a picture with his twin, ted cruz which how much can they look like?ep insulting tom by saying he looks like me. i can't get over. they look more like twins than even brothers is a lot of people on social media agree, another tweet, i seriously don't know which is which. they say everybody has a twin. there is someone else during the campaign they looked like ted cruz, a basketball player. we have several twins out there. >> can't get enough of ted cruz. thanks so much. let's check with brian kill need for what is coming up on "fox and friends". >> if i repeat something from the first hour to the third, rand paul here talking about a surprise with healthcare, rand paul has a program, we ask live and cnn changed rules regarding russia coverage, retracting a story about anthony scaramucci's ties to russia which don't exist. accepting cnn's apology and got a new job at the white house and will be his first interview, joining us live to talk about what it is like to be in the middle of a scandal, that is coming up over the next three hours, a lot of countr

was pressure for the campaign, get president trump get anyone from congress to endorse him and jeff session was caught in the middle with ted cruz and donaldy to get his endorsement and he ultimately went with trump. stephen miller is originally from working with senator sessions. their relationship now is better. in the sense that, after he recused himself from the pressure probe, they had a freezing over but sources i talked to close to the attorney general say all of that was a bit overplayed and they are on good graces. francine: talk to me about tax reform. not as straightforward as initially thought. >> not at all, the devils are in the details. last week, house freedom caucus members led by mark meadows, a republican, the ultraconservative wing of the republican party announced their set of principles, trying to new -- try to usen's negotiations of how to pay for a tax plan a are against the border adjustment tax and not enough votes in the house or senate in the border tax. whether it has to be revenue neutral, freedom caucus members do not think that is the case, welfare, food stamps, the entitlement wrote grams, they are -- progr

donald trump will make a decision. it has -- >> what about mike lee, ted cruz? >> they have to be on it. if they do nothing, it's like hang it up. hang up the shoes. let some real legislators do it. seven years later, we're all tired of this game. they're going to the think tanks and aei and saying we're the master budget negotiators. no, you're not. you're not an expert at anything except hot air. >> if they want to win in 2018 -- we have neil gorsuch. >> i don't know. i wasn't impressed with his first opinion. >> we'll see. >> a little long winded in my taste. he's trying to be scalia. we'll see. i'm sorry. >> of course, we talk russian on the program. >> it's the republican -- >> this is not msnbc. >> i speak russian. i'm part of the conspiracy. >> when is the last time you've been there? >> a few years ago. >> if they don't have 300 miles of the wall, if they don't have obamacare repeal and replaced and the tax cuts in place for the middle class, corporate america, if they don't have energy independence, they're risking losing everything. true or false? >> absolutely. i think at that

are you going to be able to meet someone like rand paul, even if you're donald trump, are you going to meet him in the middle? ted cruz some of the moss initial outspoken critics of this? your thoughts on that, ford? >> well here's the thing. 200 billion to play with, carveouts for some of these folks. i think you get ted cruz putting more money into health savings accounts. he is big understanding person is better controlling money than the government. i'm not sure you ever get rand paul to come around unless basically mitch mcconnell, puts kentucky stranglehold on him. folks like collins, murkowski, heller. understand think get the best deal possible. there is a risk in 2018 of the republicans losing the house. pushing this on to the next election as much as hard right conservatives argue in the media, including fox news's own eric bolling. i fully disagree with that. trish: what did you say about eric? >> eric says we shouldn't do the deal. should kick it on down the line. put pressure on democrats after the 2018 election. my response to eric, is very smart guy, simply this. we'll lose seats in the house. trish: am

ted cruz did try this line, donald trump reflected new york values. whatever that was supposed to mean. i do think there is mutual contempt here that needs to be dialed back and dialed down. but look, i think that overall, i also just want, this whole thing about the obama voters who voted for trump, i think that's a little bit of a weak piece of analysis. there are counties that went for obama that went for trump. does it mean they were voters who voted for obama who voted for trump. what happen in a lot of predominately white counties in pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin is a ton of people who didn't vote in 2008 or 2012 showed up in voter in 2016 and a flip a lot of these counties. you had incredibly high levels of turnout. among white rural working-class voters. to me in the end the democratic strategy is not around elevating their elites and building more hate for their elites and our elites and their elites and all this stuff. to me it's more around reaching those voters and first persuading that trump is not going to deliver for them, has

. >> donald trump set all sorts of stuff during the campaign. one time he said ted cruz is old man might have killed jfk. the prerogatives of the job are different once i get into office he needs lower interest rates until he gets his fiscal policy through. if he doesn't get this fiscal policy through, then he better hope someone he puts in a fed chair is a dove and wants to accommodate because he's not going to have a lot of tools at his disposal. the thing is, the market is really interesting because you had bond prices spiking again. that really was the action. the bottom market said, were probably not going to get tax cuts this year. we will probably have a slow growth economy, 2% because were probably not going to get that. i'm not saying agree i agree with that, but stock, the stock market is being pushed marginally higher. a lot of stocks are treading water. if you're the average investor, what does it mean? it means smart money is casting doubt on whether the fiscal policy gets through and whether this level of a stock market can actually hold. i'm not saying tha

donald trump! >> that was easy. >> jimmy: oh happy. by the way the artist formerly known as lying ted cruz, he was there too with the president.ruz always seems like the kid no one wants to invite to their birthday party. and yesterday there he was again. outside the chuck e. cheese banging on the door. >> what i want to say to the men and women here is two things. number one, thank you, thank you, thank you. thank you for your prayers. thank you for your passion. thank you for your time. thank you for your energy. thank you for speaking out and working to retake our nation. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage the southern regional director of faith and freedom coalition, virginia galloway. ♪ >> jimmy: not exactly a mike drop, you know? [ laughter ] you don't keep virginia galloway waiting, t it. meanwhile, we always get the idea we're a bunch of dopes and they're a bunch of elegant ladies and gentlemen, but they had an election there yesterday, this is now who's in the running for prime minister. >> harvey jonathan david. known as lord buckethead. 249. callam lord hape. the official monster raving party. 119.

donald trump, first a businessman, now a president. so there's that relationship. pecker's been buying up other magazines, growing his empire and to some degree, trump's been benefitting. there were those anti-ted cruz stories in the national enquirer last year. >> and the anti-obama stories that were coming out during that whole time. >> many, many of those. >> yes. many of those. >> we just got some news. let me share this with everyone together. this is from jim acosta that a white house official says joe scarborough called jared kushner about the national enquirer issue at issue. kushner told scarborough to call the president. the official denied there was any offer from cukushner of a qd pro quo. >> that would mirror gaib sherman's "new york" magazine story and reporting and that's a bit kinder to the white house than what skocarborough is alleging. if it's also true that the national enquirer was calling mika brzezinski's children, that's still terrible but not maybe the trump white house's doing. maybe that's just unscrupulous national enquirer reporter. >> maybe a lot of americans would rather the white house not worry about this kind of stuff at all, not have jared kushner dealing with this

ted cruz and others. the opposition could threaten passage of the bill. donald trump for the proposal. a disaster, it is dead. totally dead, and we are putting in a plan today that is going to be negotiated. we would love to have democrat support but they are obstructionist. we will never get one, no matter how good it is. has nameddonald trump woody johnson to serve as u.s. ambassador to the u.k. johnson is the chairman and ceo of johnson co., a private asset management firm and the founder of johnson and johnson, the health care products manufacturer. before of the biggest banks and u.s. have cleared a stress test of their ability to withstand economic shock. every bank subject to the annual test exceeded minimum threshold. morgan stanley trailed the rest of wall street on a key measure. the second year it performed worse than its peers on one of the main measures. the governor of mexico's central bank says it has taken the right steps to reach its 3% target inflation. speaking to bloomberg after raising borrowing costs for the seventh time in a row. >> the last mon

donald trump is not going to change. we criticize our leadership all the time, i worked for ted cruz.ld not be hard for republicans running for office, sitting in office to say, he shouldn't have written that tweet. he needs to stop this. don't spread the blame on the entire twitter conversation and act like everyone is responsible for what the president responds to. it's not. just say it was wrong. he needs to stop. he should take it back. he should apologize. have some dignity. >> lena, do you support that. >> the entire twitter conversation needs to stop for the better interest of the american people. >> we're going to eliminate all of twitter because the president can't control himself online. >> that's not what i said. i'm speaking specifically about the banter. >> we know what you're saying. >> i would like to add world hunger. i would like world peace and would like to end world hunger. since we're not doing that either, in the meantime let's focus on what we can do, which is to confront the indecent actions, words, tweets of the president of the united states. if you can't bri

donald trump only won by about 1% in 2016. so this is not a heavily trump district as such but it is a strong republican district. and karen handel has branded herself as a ted cruzpublican, more in the mold of someone like sarah palin. she has been endorsed by sarah palin of course for numerous races and for this race. so she's really appealing to her base to come out and vote. and to show up on tuesday. >> yeah. >> and if the -- if it continues the way she has been, she has a shot to win this on tuesday. >> you were saying, chris, let's not overdig for a theme coming out of this sixth district here. but the cato institute in trying tounrstand, you know, what is at play here, what c we take away fro this idea of the trump effect and the democrats in terms of what they can learn from this race coming out of georgia is they basically said for those who voted for donald trump, there's about five different groups and they have different issues that they care about. for democrats, it's not about the issues per se. it's more about the energy in coming together. would you agree with those broad themes that the cato institute came up with in their research in looking in

trump for suggesting that the father of your friend senator ted cruz was somehow involved in the assassination of jfk. you said he did that without a scintilla of evidence. senator cruz himself called donald's the word of james comey versus the word of donald trump, who gets the benefit of the doubt? >> look, in this circumstance, if he's got evidence of collusion, bring it forward. if he's got evidence of corruption, of obstruction, bring it forward. i have yet to see anything even a scintilla and so it's time to wrap this up and it's time to move on. i don't see any evidence of anything happening here, and as a result i think it's time to move forward. >> you're saying even if what james comey is a is true, you don't see any evidence. >> i don't see that that amounts to obstruction. i don't see any evidence of intent to obstruct. i don't see any indication that there was even the potential for corruption here or for obstruction of justice. >> the actions of attorney general sessions also came up during that hearing, whether or not he should have recused himself from the whole decision to fire james comey. you're a member of the senate judiciary committee and have oversight over the just

ted cruz. in some ways he has seemed repeatedly as if he's out for himself. remember the convention? everybody thought he was going to say imhere to endorse donald trump as president. he got up there and hogged up the stage for all that type and never gave the endorsement. will he be a big problem, rand paul and the rest of them right now? steve: i think it what you wise for senator mcconnell to get a leader. so if you want some chang put it on the -- if you want some change put it on the table now. at the end of the day, i think most of them will come around. i see more problems with people like susan collins or senator purchase could you skif -- or sr murkowski of alaska. they have an opportunity to take the best pieces from each bill and get us on our way for the biggest change in entitlement in american history. trish: how important is this? steve: it's critical. if they let this go it will hurt their credibility. they will go into next year' election, what did you guys do? you had everything. what did you give us? trish: all right. roll the tape. one stuntman jumping head first into the record books. watch here as he makes a harrowing 500-foot cl
