( cheers and applause ) yeah! just holding hands, just holding hands. and, jim, can i see part of that tweet again? "liddle'!" l-i-d-d-l-e, and then an apostrophe? that's not how apostrophes work. to use an apostrophe, something's got to be missing, other than brain cells. in fact... ( cheers and applause ) you can't use apostrophes like-- my guess-- here's my guess. my guess is the president thinks apostrophes is a greek philosopher. "i love the works of apostrophes. he's better than parentheses. i love, i love play-doh. and, and a side of tzatziki. absolutely." now, trump came over for lunch, today? he went over the senate today. trump went over the senate for lunch today. but corker didn't think much would get done. >> i do look at these things as more of a, you know, photo op. they're not really about substance. but, you

give us the bad d couldn't get elected dog catcher in tennessee, is now fighting tax cuts, dot, dot, dot, dotdot, dot, dot, corker dropped out of the race in ten-nesse when i refused to endorse him, and now is only negative on anything trump. look at his record!" ( cheers and applause ) really? really? "tennesse." tennesse? ( laughter ) quick tip: when you're ripping a politician, it helps to spell the name of their state right. "i don't like joe 'haunted' manchin. he will never get re-elected by the good people of west vagina." ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) doesn't have the same ring. it's not going to help. >> jon: you have to spell it right! >> stephen: yes. ♪ almost heaven ♪ west vagina that's really hard to sing. that would have been a hit though. i bet that would have been a hit. we miss you. now, some of what trump said about corker was not true. specifically, all of it. and corker pointed that out: "same untruths from an utterly untruthful president. #alertthedaycarestaff." ( cheers and applause ) >> jon: wow! >> stephen: yeah. then trump imme

have developed a great relationship with world leaders like xi jinping, president of china, dot, dot, dot, dot the dots are back! i missed you little guys! you're the only part of trump's tweets that aren't lies. ( cheers and applause ) >> jon: oh, wow! dot, dot. he continued, "dot, dot, dot, they should realize that these relationships are a good thing, not a bad thing. the u.s. is being respected again. watch trade!" "watch trade! hear commerce! smell business!" but trump did accomplish one thing while he was in asia. see, while they were on tour in china, three players on the u.c.l.a. men's basketball team were arrested for stealing sunglasses from a louis vuitton store. oh, come on-- you don't steal louis vuitton. you just buy a knockoff. i'm pretty sure china has a chinatown. somebody downtown beijing where all the chinese people live. wherever the chinese people live over there, you'll find it. during his visit, trump talked to xi, and yesterday we learned that the u.c.l.a. basketball players were released and flew home from china. so, job well done. you gotta give it to him. then the pr

"don't blame me. i happen to know he was a criminal before i hired him." ( cheers and applause ) now, notice-- very interesting, very interesting notice. you notice his no-collusion witness is manafort's lawyer? "o.j. did not do it. johnnie cochran swore to me on a stack of bloody gloves. honestly, i think hillary is the real killer. okay, they saw this one coming, manafort, but what nobody saw coming was that mueller got a guilty plea from trump campaign foreign policy adviser and limo driver that won't stop asking you if "you party," george papadopoulos. and here's the thing: papadopoulos was secretly arrested by mueller months ago, and since then, has turned state's evidence, working for mueller as a "proactive cooperator." yes, "proactive cooperator." that sounds like a fancy name for a cheap date. but what does it mean, jeffrey toobin? >> what this says to me is that papadopoulos, between july and

'cause if it's not funny, people are like, "what are you talking about? that's not funny." [ light laughter ] 'cause it's millions of people. >> but you're not someone who like, crafts words. you're someone who like -- i mean, takes a troll doll out and then does an hour of genius on that. look at that. >> jimmy: yeah, that's like my act. >> oh, my god. i met him, he had a bowl haircut. [ light laughter ] and it literally looked like a a bowl was on his head. >> jimmy: yeah, it was bad. >> he was so wide-eyed. i mean, he is -- you're still the same person. but you were just like, "oh, gee whiz, hi." >> jimmy: yeah, yeah.

dot dot dot they had every confidence in this i think by and large people are less inclined to look to trump as any kind of significant lever on this on these kinds of regional politics and they're more inclined to look at in particular to listen in the state department and in particular again then when we look at the european capitals we look at paris now what i must point out however about the united states of america is that washington is a vast to involving itself in lebanon we just actually when i was in lebanon two weeks ago the newspapers were marking the thirty fourth anniversary of the marines' bombing on the parents there and really since that point america has been a vast and his paid a very high cost for its of involvement in lebannon paris on the other hand including president mccrone we see is invested in lebanon skew chair and i think it's worth noting that in fact he made a surprise visit to riyadh on friday or thursday or friday of this week and that clearly he is attempting or france is attempting to find some useful face saving solution to this problem which brings me carol to the other regional main other regional player here iran of course they'll be watching the situation very closely of on promissary said he would cut off iran's hand in lebanon his recent resignation statement what do you think terrence next move is going to be well i think that the statement that came from studio was read by the prime minister and we don't take it into account at this point because we seems that been read by threat from this so do so we we we know that he was receiving iranian. delegate vote just a day or two a few hour. as before he departed to sudhir abia there is tension between the prime minister and between maybe the prime minister and has been but. basically now everybody today one it the prime minister to come back to lebanon the iranian the position they want the stability and security of lebanon hezbollah is basically one of the same thing we heard the head of hezbollah i was speaking very clearly about the opposition he talked very strong position about that you have to remember this government was was was a created based on consensus that people they said they agree they have some differences but the interest of the country was put had of everything else today where the sooty they probably resented this consensus that took place in lebanon and they decided they they want to blow up this government and that's basically what they did they pushed this government by inviting the prime minister mr and take him as a hostage they have to remember this is a country where there is a lot of challenges those people come around and that's what we see today i think might my advice for the sudanese this is world backfires and this is actually will make you lose a lot of influence in lebanon in the short term and in the long term lebanon wanted a good relationship with everybody around around the region around the globe they've been making a lot of miscalculation not in lebanon in the amman in qatar with a lot of countries they come up count on mr trump mr trump is is as a nut case he did it anyway and has led me to say make us is a again thing itself on lebanon no i just want to move about action on or i'm going to administration situation again in lebanon and the sunni community particularly how they are feeling now that they've lost their particular temporarily represent. haitian government i mean i think that there's not just with the sunni community but i mean across the board there is concerns about what the next steps are going to be. as there's concern within the obviously there's there's a rallying around within the sunni community that they need to stand behind their sunni leader and this is also being voiced by the other sunni leaders in the country which i think is reassuring for lebanon as a whole that you're not seeing that sort of division that you would have seen before but i think much more. what the fears that are coming out right now across the board are what will happen in terms of economic economically to the country what will happen in terms of security to the country and this is something that we just affect the the sunni community but it's something that will affect the entire country and i think this is this is where your other guest also sort of alluded to this in the fact that. with the with with this amount of instability now coming forward it is very possible for the saudis or for other players to try and capitalize on this instability to create division within the different communities inside lebanon so again strike striking out that sunni shia divide. alienating one one one community from another and i think right now all of the political leaders in lebanon are trying to ensure and and and and work on this to make sure that this doesn't flare up again as as we've seen in the past how easy is it to stoke unrest in lebanon i think you don't have to worry about lebanon lebanon is very very unified from within everybody understand the challenges and the difficulty there we we're facing today i have to just address one thing the made very clear in the especially the future of bloc they actually say they want the prime minister to come back to lebanon so do seem this one actually this broad everybody on board i think the security of the country is. there are control now more than ever but we have to be very careful there always will be some terrorist activity it could happen here and there we know that that these intelligence are capable of doing a lot of things so there is fear of securities issue but as far as stability of the country that country the army the internal security every every military authority a lebannon are watching very carefully and everybody is actually know the size of the threat and everybody understand what it means to be unified and i think we are very unified more than any time i seen before that we just kind of confidence. took to a certain extent i mean i think we have to remember that lebanon has always been vulnerable to external interference that in some sense it has been against its wishes against the wishes of its population it has often been the theater of conflict bloody violence an intern i seen war for other actors and we've seen that with syria we've seen that with this round seen that with the french we've seen that with iran we've seen that with saudi arabia. so i think we're coming right is that in terms of political resilience clearly it's the case the reaction has not been what saudi arabia or are those who support saudi arabia may have anticipated but in terms of security resilience this starts it does make it does make lebanon vulnerable and it would be silly to think otherwise and i think that's why again we see the reaction from certain european capitals and from the united states because in terms of the international interest and the prosecution of all of wider security of strategic campaigns in the middle east as they pertain to syria and iraq and the war against isis that that this starts this does have an impact in this is what i call the contagion effect of that has been unleashed knowingly or unknowingly if we if we accept perhaps that there's a degree of inexperience and ignorance in him immaturity in the some foreign policy making circles in re aren't nor is this a situation that lebanon can sort out on its own and should sort out on its own. i think anything in lebanon's history has ever been sorted out by lebanon on its own and i think that we would be incredibly naive in optimistic to assume that we can sort it out by ourselves as well but i think that the the calls by the international combined members in the international community to to for lebanon to try and deal with this and the the the voices that are coming out from lebanon in unison with the same message is it's positive but i think i think eventually late this is this is an issue that saudi has with iran and this is an issue that will only be solved between saudi arabia and iran. as beverly said lebanon is is has always been a battlefield for other forces they were going to have a mainly we're going to have to leave our discussion for today come i was in the north and beverly milton edwards thank you all very much for

dot, dot, dot. showdown.in fused in early 1950, this was churchill's repeatedly if privately expressed view, to all who listened. particularly successive ambassadors to london. opposition is freer to express themselves than those in power. but even allowing for that, for churchill's showmanship, the consistency over five years, the vehemence with which he discoursed over the idea of a showdown suggests to me some, at least seriousness of intent. ast one example must suffice the clock begins to run against me. november 1947, he met william mckenzie king, the former canadian prime minister. diary tells- king's us that churchill wanted to tell stalin that the nations have had enough of this war of nerves and intimidation. if you do not agree to pullout of poland and eastern europe here and now within so many days, we will attack moscow and your other cities and destroyed them with atomic bombs from the air. we will not allow tyranny to continue. thehe end, of course, atomic menaces that churchill had i

i'm not for regulation, but, but dot dot dot. this is heresy according to the libertarian philosophy. the idea that would be regulation of any human activity, government was the devil. so even though who had this dream are beginning to see that it was poisoned. and did not know how to turn. regulation did not happen. they were naturally against it. you could see where we are today. today. it was a turning point. a very important algorithm was there and suddenly, libertarian mathematician proclaiming socialism. people have really changed their minds about what's happening. i was both happy and, i don't know, worried. i know, i thought these conversions came too late. >> you expressed it very well as, it's really a question of law as code, or how did you put it? the rule of law versus the rule of code. rule of code is not necessarily as you put it, it's not necessarily a democratic or even a pleasant regime that we are entering into. what i was struck about was how prophetic that conference was because now we're getting to the poin

dot, dot, dot. >> he doesn't reveal in social media that the website has actually been set up by a vis president within the trump organization. >> why do you think he ran for president? >> both the president and his son donald junior have told me we're genetically superior and he assumed he would be best at the job. the other thing is he was furious with barack obama. >> no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the donald. >> his animous was based not only on politics but about the president's jokes about him mercilessly at the 2011 correspondent's dinner. >> that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. like did we fake the moon landing. what really happened in roswell and where are biggie and tupak. >> and trump is sit tlg trying -- sit tting there trying to te it and you can see he's miserable and soothing. you can kind of notice this is going too far. >> president trump disputes the theory that this is the moment he decided to run. but a few weeks later, he began using twitter to attack obama and a barrage would follow. he

stay tuned, dot, dot, dot. so what does substantial assistance look like?ll, that is a legal term. that's what i was trying to get it a moment ago where i said you have to create a chargeable case against someone else. so, for instance, let's say mr. flynn tried very hard. he did whatever he could to help the prosecutors, help mr. mueller's team and he didn't succeed in creating a case for them. then that would not be substantial answer. if he told them everything he knew and they said, we aren't able to charge anyone else as a result of what you told us, that would not be stabl assistanubst assistance. he would not get a deal. you have to create a case that results in charges getting filed. >> norm, as you look at the clues being sprinkled like bread crumbs, what is the time frame here? >> alisyn, i once cut a cooperation deal with bob mueller's u.s. attorney office. and i'll tell you, they're not fast. what's happening now most likely is flynn's lawyer is making what we call a proffer. he was offering to the prosecutors what his client might say. the pros

president trumped, and invoked the senators by name, and said we want your vote on this, and if not, dot, dot, dot, and here we are on the eve of this vote and those senators don't feel threatened at all. that's remarkable. >> jonathan and josh, thank you very much for these snap analysis. joining us tonight -- please join us, i should say, we have a cnn debate on tax reform. jay tapper and dana bash will moderate. that's at 9:00 p.m. eastern. >>> if you are going to do the drinking game to that debate tonight the word i would pick is rigged, because you will hear bernie sanders use trump's word against him, and say this tax bill is rigged to help the upper class and not the middle class. >>> confusion, we still don't know who gets the parking space. which of these two is the boss? it's going to be a legal battle and take time and the man that set off the battle joins us next. the wrapping paper the holidays. that counts. it's a phone for mom. okay, well, it's also that counts, too. no, the network. is inside the phone? around the phone. awarded network ever. count on it. here you go. as the netwo

or wait dot, dot, dot. those are two things i just told you about that trump was busted on that we all know about. these issues where journalists know and have documented that he is not telling the truth. today you're looking at the real world impact of donald trump. these are two u.s. allies openly rebuking the president of the united states. then beyond what's happening inside america as people try to deal with a president who acts like the and talks like this. when you look at the international stage, was the president even in on this falsehood today about migration? or was he also just getting tricked? i want to bring in politics professor, michelle, reporter for the new york times, and sophia nelson, a former counsel for the gop side of the house oversight committee. christina, the question to you. on the international piece, is donald trump a part of falsehood? a victim of the falsehood? or does it not make that big a difference? >> we know that we have a president, and we have to stop saying false ho

it sounds crazy but i think i'm going to miss the way trump would post a tweet that ended with dot dot dotnd we'd have to wait 23 minutes to see what the rest of his angry sentence was going to be. [ laughter ] now all that drama is gone. kind of awesome twitter decided to double the character limit on the same day trump arrived in china, one of the only places on earth where it is illegal to use twitter. [ cheers and applause ] his little thumbs must be going wild. today is the one-year anniversary of donald trump becoming president. [ audience moaning ] >> jimmy: no, no clapping at all, all right. one person's happy. one year ago today donald trump been the election and our hearts. [ laughter ] and his opponent, hillary clinton, spent the day quietly at home today violently strangling her mailman. [ laughter ] so much has happened over the past year. not in congress, nothing that is happened there. but whether you love president trump or hate him, there's one thing we can all agree on, that is he looks absolutely great in a pair of shorts. [ cheers and applause ] i mean, back away, ladie

the title here is "and the biggest loser in the gop's tax plan is -- dot, dot, dot -- humans.t a tax plan good for some entities, humans, not included. >> yes. if your last name is not llc or inc., you're probably not groin to benefit a lot from this bill. this bill is heavily weighted for corporations. higher income people who are lots of money coming in passively because they own shares in corporations. they are the big beneficiaries. us little people, us human people, you remember mitt romney says corporations are people. you're not a corporate person if you're a human person, you don't get much of a tax break. >> claims corporate tax cuts will unleash a wave of business investment and therefore economic growth most of which trickles down to the little people, people. hard to find an independent economist who buys this. even corporate executives don't back up the story. you and i talked about it all week. fine if you believe this and say that's how we want to do the tax cut. the selling point, don't worry, you people, it's going to work for you. >> right. what they're tryin

i like at donald trump, and at 140 or 280 and you could extend them, and all i do is the dot, dot, dotu extend it burk ki do the messages around the media, and get my word out at the way i mean for my words. i have my own form of media. that is the great thing about the twitter, an when the press is dishonest which is most of the time. ki tweet. that was a false story, boom, boom, boom. >> and so, twitter definitely skipped a beat when the president's account was suddenly there, gone. none of it. gone. and twitter put out a statement that real donald trump's account was inadvertently deactivated due to a human error for the employee and the account has been down for 11:00, and we are continuing to investigate and taking steps from preventing this from happening again. and in the few minutes that trump's account was gone, twitter users had fun. trump's account vanishing and appearing again is best evidence that the events of the past two years are the results of warring sects of time travelers and let's hope it was ab test and rolling out site wide soon. some get 280 and some get zero.

true, you can check my twitter feed, when the first volley came out, i said "oh, this could be dot dot dot- >> seth: yeah. >> smackdown because this is" -- but i never thought the president of the united states would take the bait. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> i didn't even take the bait and that's my job is to take the bait. that's what i do. >> seth: by the way, what are you talking about? there's no bait left in america. donald trump took all the bait. >> he has. [ cheers and applause ] s i thought -- i thought he'd take the high road. the high road, there's no traffic on the high road right now. >> listen, you are right. >> seth: yeah. >> you are right, funny and right. good combination. however, this is my thinking, just so you know. the president likes to say, "i am the biggest man in the room. i am the biggest." >> seth: yeah. "i'm the best, period." and you can fill in the blank into what category because he believes that. and that's great, it's great to have confidence. however, he does not act like the biggest man in the room. the biggest man in the room stands in the room. [ a

what about the deleted e-mails, uranium, podesta, the server, plus, plus, dot, dot, dot.i don't disagree with anything the president said in those tweets this morning. i look at donna a little bit differently. i was always filled with admiration for her, and i always saw her as an honest broker and historic figure and charismatic public face for the democrats, and then we found out she was feeding questions to hillary during the debate. and then when megyn kelly was busting her on that, donna brazil was evasive and i thought dishonest in her denial. now comes this. she seems to after helping hillary in a way that was dishonest, now she's throwing hillary under the bus and revealing what i believe to be true that the dnc was virtually a criminal enterprise. it had no desire to see the best person nominated by the party. it was always hillary clinton a bill clinton organization. they were feeding it with this budget. it was in total disarray. and i tell you what. that, to me, is the biggest story. abby: is this the nail in the coffin for the clintons you think? >> you got i

dot plot and i think the dot plot is largely meaningless given the turnover. guy: which dots? megan: we are really know, but on think it really matters either. matt: you think the dotningless or you think the actual forecast is meaningless? the fed delivers even when the market does not think it is going to. megan: i think the dot is meaningless because there is so much turn up a fed that half the dots will be replaced by new ones. i also think the dot plot is probably a bit off. i think neither the markets nor the fed have it quite right. the market beat probability for rate hikes, i think is one. we will get one rate hike from the fed before the end of this year, so i think that is too low. the dot plot cap price in three rate hikes for next year, and i think that is also off. i think inflation will remain persistently low so the fed will probably have to back off of that great pass a bit. i think we will probably get two rate hike next year to the following year i think neither the markets nor the fed have it quite right, but that of course means that everything is priced in, so there are investment opportunities. matt: why do you think inflation remains persist

dot is which. those dots are going to disappear. it is a lot of dots. what do i know about the reaction the function? can i believe the dots? amarket fairly devilish approach from the fed. -- fairly dovish approach from the fed. the bond market is saying the fed will be more dovish. we will have to see if that changes. it is unlikely there will be a discontinuing of policy. you don't want that kind of volatility. guy: i am going to pull up a chart here. this is the city economic price economic prideti index. wrong? -- isrket the bond market wrong? stephen: i am not a bond market guy. if you think about the price index come all of that changes. happen is people undershoot underestimates. then you see and where the next day that takes you. the recovery will continue. we have yet to see a significant inflation price to the upside. the fed said they are expecting wage inflation to rise. you're not seeing signs of that across the economy. it looks as if the rate of growth will be the relationship and growth inflation is fairly benign for markets. were inflation to excellent, you would since a rise in yields. that's not bad for s

dots. american citizens have connected these dots the same way we connected the dots on what happened with what you're talking about is the dossier and the dnc paying and hillary clinton. >> using that information to get the fbi investigation going. >> there's been no proof of tha that. >> harris: there is no evidence of any collusion with the campaign. >> we have more evidence of an attempt to collude today than we did a week ago. >> harris: the point is there is no evidence. >> let's be clear, i think donald trump certainly would like to fire jeff sessions, the reason you would like to do that is because it would undermine the mueller investigation. the only reason jeff sessions is not in control of it is because he had to recuse himself because it is increasingly likely that he is a subject of this russia investigation. >> we argued about this off-camera, what president trump wants is for mueller to do his job. if he did his job -- and quite frankly, that's why he's allowed mueller to stack the deck with hillary's people, on his team and everything, at the end of the day, if mueller doe

the murder victims were in a church if prayers were doing you dot, ss slack of s dot, dot. they were already in church. seems like prayers do nothing. actual reform is needed. another, to all those asking for thoughts and prayers seems your direct line to god is not working. josh, terror attacks that kill six get travel ban same day. deadliest mass shooting gets prayers and too soon to talk. another, after a mass shooting in the church, thoughts and prayers from the mouths of useless politicians because more asa nine. we need more than prayers. the victims were in a church praying. ar-15. a ban on ar-15's, ere a ban of the shooter probably would have been able to kill everybody in the church because the guy that stopped him, thank god, had an ar-15 that he used to shoot him and get the carnage to stop. . clearly your prayers aren't working if a mass shooting can take place in a church. many we can try a legislative solution now. i mean, it just goes on and on. belittling christians, belittling people who believe in the power of prayer. then we had an article from "the hill"
