eli stokols, white house reporter for the "wall street journal" is here. catty kay washington correspondent for bbc world news america joins us. with us at the table bill crystal founder and writer of the weekly standard. the obama administration, now an msnbc analyst is also here. peter alexander, let me start with you and tell you what surprised me today in my conversations with folks in and around this white house. more people are mad at john kelly for describing donald trump as uninformed, and donald trump for being uninformed. >> i was hearing the idea they were surprised not just at this episode, but they were sort of surprised with john kelly himself who is sort of viewed as the discipline guy, the process, the procedure guy. i think one of the things we've learned about john kelly more broadly over the course of a series of episodes now is that while the conventional wisdom is that he was the sort of more moderating calming force for this impulsive president, john kelly actually is heavily aligned with president trump on a lot of these positions. o

peter baker, phil rucker, eli stokels and jeremy bash are all still here. i want to ask you, jeremy bash, about this hot war with the fansful deep state which is i guess arguably the federal government now led by donald trump and his political appoint ease. but i want to read you a tweet he fired off this morning writing -- before 8:00 a.m. crooked hillary clinton's top aide has been accused of disregarding basic security prot tote cols. she put classified passwords into the hands of foreign agents. remember sailors pictures on submarine? jail! deep state justice department must finally act also on comey and others. no punctuation there. jeremy bash, let me ask you about two responses that caught my attention. one from jack goldsmith who is one of the most conservative and one of the most respected among the most conservative legal minds in america. he ran the office of legal policy under the george w. bush white house. he wrote this is the deep state run by trump appointees, chris rey the head of the fbi, jeff sessions of the head of the justice department

liz: what do you think of eli lilly here?always get excited what when we talk about more r&d especially in the field of oncology. i unfortunately lost my mom to cancer when i was in medical school, and had this been 20 years, 30 years later, maybe we had the medications now to save her. whenever there is a possibility of getting more research that gets me excited. however, when i do hear a pharma ceo talking about when savings, they'll bring that back to the patient, they'll bring that back to research, i do approach that with a bit of skepticism. liz: why do you have skepticism, why are you skeptical about it? >> well, because as a doctor, i know that the bottom line is what's important for a ceo of a pharmaceutical company. they don't trade on moral fiber, they trade on financial currency, and i understand that as someone in the business world, you have to do that. just as we saw pfizer recently say they're going to discontinue doing research on alzheimer's and parkinson's, which both of them are very prevalent diseases but

and eli stokeels, "wall street journal" and nbc political analyst. eli, someone familiar with the president's thinking and operating methods said to me flatly, you guys are getting played, this is a reality television star wanting to build drama, build to a crescendo. so at or on the one-year anniversary of his administration he can fly to mar-a-lago, into the figurative sunset or literal sunset, having saved the day. so having said that, eli, where is the avoidance of a shutdown as of right now in washington? >> that's an area you just played out. it could happen, but right now, people on capitol hill are not even confident that they'll pass the cr that the house is set to vote on tomorrow. chances are most people expect something will get done. nobody on either side, republicans or democrats, are really all that hot on having a government shutdown here. but it's really fascinating looking at what trump's sort of back and forth comments, dizzying comments, are doing to republicans on the hill. when this administration began a year ago, republicans t

azar, the former president of eli lily u.s.a. . the price of one vial of eli lilly's humalog increased from $21 in 1996, $21 to $123 when mr. azar became their president, to $255 for just one vial. as we know, people need more than one vial. one vial, $255 in 2017 when mr. azar left. mr. azar says he agrees that prices are too high, but he was not -- but he does not seem ready to do much about it. if he thinks they're too high, why didn't he lower them, rather than raising him when he was in his position as president of eli lilly u.s.a. . i told him that the national academy's of sciences, engineering and medicine at our finance hearing recommended allowing h.h.s. to negotiate prices. he said they were wrong. the federal government shouldn't negotiate prices for people to get the best deal. common sense tells us that's what should be happening and should have been happening for years. mr. azar also opposes the importation of safe and affordable prescription drugs from canada. that's despite the fact that his former company, eli lil

eli, talk about the performance aspects since the president opened the door by using the word. they're not subtle about kind of keeping things amongst themselves. >> or keeping their fictions alive, right? this is the president who says fake news when he reads stories about all the tv he watches. and today he's talking about the great ratings this performance got on television. i mean it just sort of boggles the mind. but also it's one of the shocking but not surprising things that you can say about this presidency. i mean this is guy who for 55 minutes let the cameras come in, and then today totally breaks the fourth wall if there's ervin been a fourth wall with this presidency and said it was a great performance. he said it on the way out from the cameras yesterday, hopefully you got enough for the next two weeks. and that's the way he thinks about of the immigration policy that will affect tens of thousands of people, he's thinking about performance. and the white house also took several swings to walk back and change the substance of that policy discussion. when donald trum

eli, let me start with you. take me inside this white house effort to, obviously, almost too obviously, try to showcase and produce a president being presidential doing stuff that they think is normal for a president. all the while using his executive time to tweet about the russia witch hunt. >> right. no subtlety to that effort we saw yesterday with putting him out there and saying, look at me. i'm in command of the room and i can lead and sort of -- there is no fourth wall with this president. he started the cabinet meeting today by talking to the press who went into the room and saying welcome back to the studio. he knows this is all performance art. he's not going to fool bob mueller with a lot of these things. you see the agitation in the president's behavior and tweets. we'll see what happens. the word salad. the word collusion, repeating it over and over. there's no way to calm this president down when he's watching television, when he's up in the residence and tweeting. and john kelly, since he's come i

eli stoke, white house reporter for "the wall street journal." ben white, former congresswoman republican nan hayworth of new york. the timing here, looking at the president's tweets this morning. at 6:15, 6:25, he contradicts, basically cuts off at the knees, his own chief of staff. two hours later, at 8:37, he contradicts what the house had to say about chip. ben white, what's going on here? >> as you see so often in these cases, president trump is making it more difficult for both his own white house and congress to come to some kind of agreement to fund the government, avoid a shutdown, all over the map on chip, on the wall, on all these subjects. he's supposed to be the great negotiator. he's making it all much harder, likelihood of a government shutdown higher. if kelly could keep him off twitter, we might be able to keep the government open. >> we know that's not going to happen. so nan, here's what i think the president is banking on and maybe some republicans, it's that the democrats are going to be able to -- they're going to be able to

eli stokels, kimberly atkins, jeremy bash, and before all that, michael schmidt. thank you all. >>> coming up as we approach our first break. we're going to keep going on this story. this major development tonight from the "new york times" originally, this story of just how close robert mueller might have come to being the former special counsel. and when we come back, how mueller is likely to view all of this. also, how this fits in a well-documented relationship donald trump has on the subject of loyalty. with most of an hour left to go, we're back with more after this. >>> this bombshell report from the "new york times," president trump actually tried to fire special counsel robert mueller comes as the president himself is likely to be called to answer questions. just yesterday, again, prior to leaving for europe, trump expressed his willingness to cooperate with mueller. >> are you going to talk to mueller? >> i'm looking forward to it, actually. >> you want to. do you have a date set, mr. president? >> there's been no collusion whatsoever. there is no obstruc

eli, jonathan, good to have you back. coming up, a new nbc news report on the russia investigation. michael flynn concealed his interview with the fbi from president trump for two days. why did he do that? this is a top democratic senator says all roads to the investigation leads to donald j. trump. all roads in this investigation leads to trump. that's pretty clear. plus, with trump heading to davos this week, to hobnob with the global elites, we'll hear from a union leader in this country who says despite what you hear from the white house, trump has broken his promise to working class americans and the workers he talks to say they feel betrayed. >>> trump versus schumer. the president looking to score political points by bullying the senate democratic leader and the fate of the d.r.e.a.m.ers hangs in the balance. >>> finally, two very different visions of africa. this is "hardball" where the action is. verything. you switched to the capital one quicksilver card. and how do you feel?

my thanks to steve, bill, eli, and elise. >> how are you doing? well done.'s thursday, the president will definitely maybe talk to the special counsel. >> tonight, it's a trap. fears of a perjury trap with bob mueller take the president literally or seriously? >> i will say if this talk is real, and the interview is coming up that bob mueller is probably farther along in the investigation than some might have imagined. >> plus, what's the deal on immigration talks? >> i think the more you do an immigration all at once, the harder it is to pass. >> and dividing lines. how more states are

eli stokols is an msnbc political analyst. natasha bertrand is a political correspondent for "business insider." guys, welcome. ken, let's start with you. big question. why was bannon suspected a subpoenaed and not just asked by the special counsel? >> katy, it's true that robert mueller is not known to have subpoenaed any other member of the white house inner circle, but steve bannon is not in the white house inner circle anymore. there had been a brokered agreement between the white house and mueller to offer voluntary interviews. we've seen jared kushner, people like hope hicks, submit themselves to interviews. bannon is no longer a part of that. now, it may be true that this is all a negotiating tactic, leading to a voluntary interview of bannon, but it's also very possible thal mueller wants to get steve bannon in front of the grand jury. because as you just said, there are crucial questions he wants to get answers to under oath, including, did you talk to the president about the trump tower meeting or about the comey fir

thanks to jill colvin and eli. coming up for us, the book fire and fury consumed the white house and a good many of our headlines for two yeeweeks now. how it came to be including the fact that flattery might have helped greatly. hi, i'm the internet! you know what's difficult? armless bowling. you got this, jimmy! you know what's easy? building your website with godaddy. pick a domain name. choose a design. you can build a website in under an hour. now that's a strike! get your domain today and get a free trial of gocentral. build a better website in under an hour. i love you. >>> the media does not need defending by the media certainly. and so far the media is -- the mean the "new york times" frontd page looks like it's 1938 in germany every day. >> no it does not. give me a break. >> the new yorker has left all of its standards behind and now become an opinion vehicle. >> that was fire and fury author and veteran journalist, michael wolff defending the trump administration from the media in a tv appearance last

earlier eli had a great line where the president announced he would be willing to basically sign a hamch after making it clear he didn't understand the substance of what they were talking about or even what his own position was. one of the fall outs from the wolff book is that we have lowered the bar that the president may be clueless, but as long as he's coherent, it's considered a win. you know, if the standard is, you know, is the president you know mentally unstable, is he going to be drooling in the conference room, no. but then you have these moments where clearly he doesn't really know what he's talking about. but, again, we continue to redefine what is acceptable, redefine deviancy down, redefining capacity down. and i think you saw that with some of the media reaction which to any other president would have been a very embarrassing and revealing performance. >> eli as the keeper and hopefully someday author of the guide to president trump, when he says we're going to take a strong like at the libel laws of this country, what does that mean? >> he's blowing off steam. he's upse

underscores that the president is still taking on the fbi in a way that is truly unprecedented. >> eli, our friend mr. swann, who is an internationalist to the core, used the phrase bete noire to describe mr. mccabe. put another way, if you do a report on fox news, mccabe comes up all the time. remind us why, especially on the right, he is such a politically complicated figure. >> the president and his legal team and his coterie of allies who go on the airways and folks at fox news, they're all looking for any shred of evidence that there is anti-trump violence inside the fbi. mccabe -- this comes down to mccabe's wife having run as a democrat for a state senate seat in virginia and having taken money from terry mcauliffe, the former governor of virginia, who is obviously very close to the clintons, and then mccabe being number two at the fbi during the investigation of hillary clinton's e-mail server and also being seen as someone who the statement from the white house explains, the comey regime. he's part of the comey regime. he was elevated under jim comey, and that's enough for fol

. >> joining me is eli stokols and joyce vance former u.s. attorney. this, i see this whole thing as an attempt to sort of impeach the impeachers, eli. anything they can do. first the guy sending his love notes to somebody else at the fbi and now this thing about fisa approval. it seems they're looking for anything they can to chip away at the credibility and integrity of this investigation so when they come out with something whenever they do, it will be impeached already. >> it's obvious ha that is what they are doing. paul ryan doesn't want to fully see that and basically saying today, yes, let the mueller investigation proceed. don't mess with it. let rosenstein stay. he's also defending the release of nunes releasing this memo under the explanation is transparency. he's not allowing the democratic memo to come out, the minority report to come out. he's basically doing that, allowing the memo to come out knowing the whole point it's not happening in a vacuum being of it's being done to undermine the investigation. >> your thoughts about that, joyce

and that clearly was at play in this russian investigation. >> ely, this question of bannon, this bookhat folks might have heard about once or twice today. so you have steve bannon saying look, he's alarmed about this investigation. he thinks -- he raises this idea of money laundering. he creates a sequence that he says could lead mule tore the president. what do you make of bannon going forward and saying that? is he trying to sound some kind of alarm here for the white house? this issue of money laundering, what is your understanding what he's trying to say there? >> to me it sounded a lot like gloating today from steve bannon when we read these lines in the book. this is a person who we all know never liked jared kushner, never liked the president's adult children. starred with them in the white house. and seemed to be in his comments to michael wolff, really distancing himself from them and ridiculing them and blaming them in effect for where the president finds himself in terms of being under investigation, for the russia meeting and all these other things. there are a lot of peop

eli, you have to be the anchor person on this conversation. i don't know what you can add. >> i don't know what you can say. i was in the room today when the president was reading from a piece of paper the remarks about mlk, and ignoring the shouted questions at the end. to sit there and know this is a comment he made yesterday, a racist comment and to see him there today extolling the virtues of martin luther king -- >> how would you like to be ben carson, whatever you think of his politics he's a good guy. but he has to play the part as an african-american cabinet member. >> he doesn't. he can leave. that's what bothers me -- >> you mean quit. >> yes. not a single person walks out the door and says no this is a bridge too far. what is the matter with these people? >> there's a behavior by all republicans that goes beyond any of these moral questions. they march in line like north korean infantry men, they just do. let's get back to that, joy, why do republicans say yes, sir every time trump says do this? >> i don't know. there are different
