he's not mature according to marie harf. but jesse, i'm from brooklyn, president trump is from queens. this is what we do. we mess with people. that's it. jesse: after years of messing with people they still haven't gone the that that's what he does. they act surprised every time. >> they hyperventilate over things he says. you said earlier in the show that button with kim jong-un -- jesse: little rocket man. >> that's perfect because he's mocking him and belittling him. i have got a bigger button than you. kim jong-un responds an looks like a child. trump is laying it out there. i love the guy. nobody knows what to expect from him and it's awesome. jesse: for the democrats to say trump is a madman. they lost to a madman. how does that make them look? i would rethink that whole line of attack. scott, i have got to run. but it was great to have you. any last words to baldwin? do you want to promote anything? i've got nothing to promote. jesse, always good to see you. jesse: mugshot mania in "watters world," new segment which

shutdown happened at midnight tonight. >> harris: are you giving the president credit for something marie harf>> marie: i might not admit that, but i am. i think it was smart of president trump, who has canceled his trip to mar-a-lago, he was supposed to go and postponed it. let me give him credit. he postponed a trip that i thought would have looked bad. he's inviting chuck schumer over. he looks like he's trying to avert this. i actually think that's good. >> harris: all we know that the invitation is out there. we don't know if chuck schumer will go. >> marie: he should absolutely go. >> sandra: he's been invited by the president before crucial times and said no. >> marie: they do have a relationship and have known each other for years. >> kennedy: this is a time that you put the politicization aside and talk about something. you talk about it in a number of ways. they don't have a lot of time. with these two people, it is absolutely 100% possible. they want to see them come together. >> harris: not only because of the prior relationship, which is important, but look at what happened two tu

not just creating them but creating them wholesale marie harf?> there is going to be a lot of discussion about his sourcing. he has talked about it in a little bit of theist pieces that will be examined more. apparently he does have some tapes of some of his interviews. so we will see how that plays out. if even attempts of the quotes are true in this story though and katie is right, the white house believes that bannon's quotes are accurate and that's why they are suing them. you don't sue someone for nondisclosure if they are not true. >> harris: you sue for defamation if not true. >> maria: exactly. if only 10% of this book is true or accurate it's a disturbing portrait of the white house particularly in the early days that was in chaos. we talked about that a lot before john kelly came in and of a president who is quite emotional, quiter rad particular at times. we see that with his twitter use that will be a big conversation over the coming days. >> harris: as the story was breaking yesterday afternoon, one of the things that we realize is t

here with more, sean duffy and marie harf. welcome to both of you. of the things that struck me with this story that came out last night from "the new york times" is that it was very much in the news back in june. there was all kinds of discussion about whether or not the president was considering firing mueller and should he end would it be a big mistake if he did that? it appears that their source on this, it says it appears that robert mueller learned about the episode, the almost firing episode in recent months as his investigators interviewed current and former senior white house officials in the midst of their inquiries. congressman, it raises the question, why is this coming out now? >> i would argue that this is because they're trying to change their narrative a riot from wrongdoing and the doj and the fbi. by the way, this story is a seven months old, but the sources for the article in "the new york times" is people familiar with the matter. not even people with knowledge. it's double hearsay for one. number two, and calls into question, is

jason chaffetz and marie harf are here to respond to some explosive new rumors that could prove president trump was right. >> hillary is likely to be under investigation for many years, probably concluding in criminal trial. nick was born to move. 3 toddlers won't stop him. and neither will lower back pain. because at a dr. scholl's kiosk he got a recommendation for our custom fit orthotic to relieve his foot, knee, or lower back pain, from being on his feet. dr. scholl's. born to move. but on the inside, i feel like chronic, widespread pain. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle

joining us, mollie hemingway, susan ferrechio, and marie harf.olly, the s has hit the fan over these comments. mollie: when you use this type of language and the president chooses to be this vulgar with alarming regularity, it's going to be news. but the media failed to explain the context of his remarks. they didn't have any curiosity about why dick durbin was leaking this. and mostly they were using this like they have used so many discussions about immigration. that is to silence people to weren't to change immigration to a merit-based system. that's frustrating for people who are interested in this debate. howie: this was a slur. and some republicans have criticized it. jason johnson said trump is a white supremacist, a terrorist sympathizer and a danger to non-whites. is this over the top? marie: most of of the outrage is well placed. this fits into a pattern of comments he made, whether it's after charlottesville or when he took out the full page ad about the central park five. he has a long history of wading into discussions about race and

rich lowry, marie harf, and fox news contributor, welcome to both.ill start with you, rich lowry. the government accused of sheltering taliban. critics say, they have been faced. >> absolutely, trump is actually correct. he has the insight here, pakistan is not a typical front of the united states, it's a devious adversary of the united states. it does give shelter to terrorists operating in afghanistan and the government is shot with extremists, especially with security services. like to see the pakistani squeal and squirm over this per the question is, what is the policy going forward to make relatively easy to hit them on twitter, is much more difficult to come up with a policy over the long-term that turns the orientation of pakistan around. >> eric: marie harf, what have we gotten for $33 billion? >> rich is right, this is a problem for the past decades trying to deal with, and they try to square the circle, the administration of both parties have often felt it was better to try to get pakistan in the tent, even if they were problematic partner,

marie harf is here along with the host of the anthony cumia show and jamie weinstein. welcome back. let's discuss this. my feeling is we don't know because we haven't seen a lot of this stuff. it's impossible for us to make judgment calls. so right now of course it many politicized. >> why don't we allow the investigations to run their course and see what comes out. i hate to agree with chuck schumer. there are a lot of conspiracy theories circulating. >> two days ago rush limbaugh suggested because of the deep state we have to take in the possibility that cia misled the bush administration about weapons of mass destruction. kennedy: rush limbaugh is not allowed teen farm chair civil libertarian. >> people who used to have to want to tap into phones are now reversing their arguments. kennedy: those people still wanted to do that last week when they reauthorized section 702 of the fisa act. >> i love this the investigation of the investigation of the investigations going on. what it's doing, it's getting the people where they don't really carry inmore. we are so shell shocked by all

marie harf. >> the politico stories just false. is no evidence in the story to backup the allegations. they quote a couple low-level ideological sources who clearly don't like the iran deal. >> low-level sources? i was head of the special operations division for over ten years. 30 agencies, three countries, the nypd. that lady didn't work on the operations. she worked as a bureaucrat in washington talking about policy and stuff, but she wasn't involved day today in the operations. she didn't see what we saw every day on the streets of america and in europe, west africa, and so i have a problem with her referring to the low level sources. the folks that spoke about the story were intricately involved in every aspect of the case. as a matter of fact, david asher was the expert in the first action against north korea and helped us put together the patriot act in this case to shutdown the international trade based money laundering scheme. >> shannon: thank you for all of your work. thank you for coming in. >> i would just like to say t

former state department spokesman marie harf and charlie hurt from the "washington post"?i think he is looking forward it to and i think the guy has been talking to mueller all along. you don't have to scratch very hard to get him to pipe up and talk about how he thinks that this collusion narrative is all a fantasy. it doesn't need to be investigated. you won't find anything. which also leads to it is hard to understand how -- are they going to try to say that's obstruction of justice, the president sitting there saying -- talking about how there is no there there, nothing to investigate here? i think that's a pretty far reach. i don't think american voters would buy that. >> sandra: while he says i'll sit down with robert mueller he said but we should look into what's in these text messages, right? you and i have had many opportunities to talk about all this and here the president is saying i'm looking forward to talking to mueller. here is the story, there has been no collusion whatsoever. there is no obstruction whatsoever. so why wouldn't the president agree to sit do
