host: matt lewis with the daily beast. how often do you publish and what are you writing on? guest: 203 times a week at the daily beast. -- two or three times a week at the daily beast. life's moving very fast right now i try to bring some historical context and some additional wisdom to really whatever is happening at the moment. my last two pieces have been about the supreme court. carolyn from washington, d.c., democrats line. a little know this is water into the bridge, but could you explain a little more about judge kennedy's son and relationship to president trump and some of that murkiness there? guest: this is interesting. i have heard that there is some business relationship or business dealings, and not to up on that. i think people tried to question why is justice kennedy stepping down now? there may be is a conspiracy theory were some insinuation that he is somehow being pressured or bride and then there is any evidence that suggests that. he has been on the court for a no, 30 some years and you certainly at an age well past the retirement age, so i guess there is

joining me now, ron brownsteen, matt lewis.o you, strange, head-spinning, disturbing, uncertain times. for the first time in a long time, i think a lot of republicans on capitol hill would agree in lockstep with president obama. what do you say? >> yeah. if they're being honest, they would. we had lots of problems with president obama, to be sure, as a conservative, i can say that. what we saw yesterday with president trump is really kind of a new low. if you are a conservative who grew up admiring ronald reagan, gene kerpatrick what they talked about was moral clarity. the people who atatacked ronald reagan were arguing a moral equivalency. yes, russia does bad things but we do bad things, too. i never thought i would see the day when a republican president echos that sentiment. what donald trump said was a moral equivalency. yeah, we're both at fault for this. >> he said both sides, just like he said in charlottesville. ron, did you united states, the american people from this america first president, gain anything yesterday?

also matt lewis, senior political columnist for "the daily news." good evening to all of you -- sorry, daily beast. michael, great reporting in "the wall street journal" tonight. you're reporting on why president trump tried to walk back these comments from helsinki today. what have you learned? >> well, the -- he was -- as he said in the conference today, he was surprised by the pushback, and really the barrage of criticism. and it was just coming from all angles. and the president watches television pretty frequently, as we know. he was taking all that in on the ride home, on the flight home from air force one -- on air force one. one comment in particular stung him, which was the tweet from former speaker newt gingrich who called this the worst mistake of his presidency. that comment stung so much that trump made sure to speak with gingrich after his comments, his revision today, to make sure that gingrich, who is a close adviser, has been -- frequently meets with pence, he talks with trump quite a bit, make sure that newt gingrich saw those comm

i want to talk about this with keith boykin, matt lewis and mat shooel shields. disturbing video. what did you think angry what you angela whether you saw it? >> one i thought about who let this jerk in the park. number two, the officer's in "la la land." this officer, he's not even on administrative leave so he can to collect a check without being in the park. it's frustrating to see these incidents happening and no consequences. >> so, mike, we see the police officer stands by, ignore the woman's plea for help. it was a second officer who finally stepped in. watch this. >> can you please get away from me. >> are you an american citizen -- >> can you please get away from me. >> puerto rico's an american state. >> it is an puerto rico state. >> they vote for our president. >> you shouldn't wear it. >> hey hey, get away. >> why do you think this first police officer didn't help this woman, mike? >> yeah, i don't know. that actually was the first thing i saw when i watched this as well. what's this guy doing. not just the words that the man's using, the threatening

as matt lewis wrote yesterday, this takes america first and makes it blame america first. this is a different gravity and it's difficult for his republican colleagues who are willing to tolerate a lot to stand by and not call out the fact that he backed vladimir putin against his own justice department and intelligence agencies. >> completely agree with that and there's no question this is a different order of magnitude. the coverage of almost everything related to donald trump over the last year and a half -- and this is across the board -- everything has been characterized as this moment -- to alisyn's point, this is going to be the tipping point. i think people are numb to understanding why what happened this week was really different and i think the press did a good job capturing why it was different. whether that then translates into something beyond that i don't know. >> and i will tell you, if you're looking for the republicans to stand up to the non-walkback walkback yesterday, i don't think it's going to happen. it seems to me mitch mcconnell's statements yesterda

cnn political commentator and columnist for the daily beast matt lewis and cnn political commentator. what was discussed in helsinki, why does the white house think scheduling another meeting with president putin this time in the white house is, as pompeo would put it "all good"? >> i'm not sure we can handle another one of these meetings based on the way the last one went. the last thing i would want to do is have another one of these meetings. but donald trump likes this. he believes if he can look at somebody and look at them in the eye that he can win. and we don't actually know what was said during the actual summit. so-called summit. because nobody was there except for some translators and the principals. but donald trump believes that if he can talk to somebody, that he can persuade them and he can win. i think that's a naive idea, that you can persuade a former kgb agent who has been president of his country a lot longer than president trump has been president of america, and that's what he believes. >> does he win or is it this country wins? i mean, you know, or is there even
