bloomberg political reporter and reuters white house correspond jeff mason. good to see you both. does the president see this as politically advantageous for this sitting president to use these words to behave in this manner to insult and denigrate so many? >> it's the core of his play book. i mean, president trump has always used a kind of raw form of nativism and racial appeals to try to turn out his base of voters, and it's very clear he is leaning more and more heavily into trying to mobilize that group of voters to show up and vote. and it's his answer, it's his answer to those people as to what their problems are. you know, it's kind of a tribalest, fundamental, prime, call it what you want approach to getting people to think people who don't think like you or look like you may be part of the problem and reason for your economic troubles. it's not a play book i think will expand his reap of support. but he believes he can win re-election by turning out those people and super charging that vote. >> it is unusual for a former president to weigh in on a sitting president. even

jessica tarlov and jeff mason, reuters white house reporter. chris, you first. bombshell or dud?e two choices, dud. i would say this up front. i do think bob mueller is a hero for what he did in vietnam. great career as a prosecutor. yesterday was the super bowl for him and even democrats are criticizing him. >> jon: he didn't want to be there. he went in there not wanting to testify. >> right. i think you could tell that. he didn't want to be there. unfortunately what i think it will do for all the people who said for the past two years it's a witch hunt. people say it was a witch hunt and run by staff, his performance yesterday will give fuel to the fire for those people who said that because he said he didn't know who fusion gps was and basic things. if you watched that and you like trump you're more behind trump. if you don't like him you still don't like him. >> sandra: some of the far left are conceding the hearing wasn't the bombshell that some had hoped for. michael moore of all people tweeted out his reaction. trump must be gloating in ecstasy. because trump understands

jeff mason is here, white house reporter for reuters.t means? >> reporter: well, it means a few different things, eric. i mean, number one, it's the latest in the close cabinet officials who have left president trump's administration. i think it's kind of interesting that dan coats has lasted as long as he has. there has certainly been tensions between him and the president for some time, dating back at least as far as a year ago when the two men were giving sort of different views about the threat of russia and russia's involvement in the 2016 election -- eric: was it seen that the president was downplaying that and coats, you know, staunchly pushed back -- >> yeah. eric: in terms of action on the intelligence community? >> that's spot on, yes. dan coats was defending the intelligence community and also making very clear that the intelligence community's intel on the fact that russia had, in fact, intervened in the 2016 election was accurate. and the president, of course, cast doubt on that for some time, and that's something that this

jeff mason, white house reporter for reuters is back with us.you first and remind people if they're not familiar with this story, the highlights. >> it's been a lot and you kind of summarized it well there. yes, he came into that press conference and placed a lot of blame on other attorneys, we're the super heroes, we jumped in and we actually helped bring some sort of agreement which was the big shady agreement as we can probably call it, and he didn't apologize. he wasn't sorry for anything that came of it. >> and actually when he was asked by a reporter would you give epstein the same deal again, he didn't say no. >> right, he didn't say no. he kind of said we can't turn back the clock in a sense and try to sort of think about what we gave him and think was it good or bad because you have to take it in that reference. but the other thing is he said he happened the president's support. but we also know the president has been very careful about distancing himself from epstein from the very beginning. in that sense it's not surprising but this i

a brief time ago, i spoke with jeff mason, white house reporter for reuters. we saw the president come out with mr. acosta. what does that say about his departure? asff: it says a lot insofa the president has seen a lot of cabinet secretaries and staff members go who he has fired or have resigned, and the fact that he gave him a sendoff suggests that he ike the secretary, does support him, and perhaps was disappointed he decided to resign. but he accepted the resignation, and there were probably political reasons fo. nada: the political reasons i guess being this cloud over the white house of the epstein case, president trump making it clear he had a falling out with mr. epstein. how much does the white house have to worry about that? jeff: number one, having his labor secretaryn his way out memeans every here is a news story about epstein, there is is connectionly emphasized about acosta as well. that is one reason he said he t wantleave, that he wouldn't be a distraction. as for president tsamp, h he had a falling out with epstein years ago, but they had one

reuters. he covers the white house. and ella nilsen of vox. she's their congressional reporter. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> jeff mason, let's start you, the president's tweets specifically toward some democratic members of congress, tell us the reaction that's getting since those tweets wfr delivered. >> well, there's been a lot of outrage over them particularly from democrats but others as well. i mean, it's considered, many people are viewing them as racist. the president suggested three or four members of congress who are women of color should go back to where they came from. three out of the four of them were born in the united states. the other is an immigrant. this is sort of a pattern his critics see as engaging in racial baiting as an outreach, essentially, to white america or even white supremacists. the president, of course, denies that. the president and the people around him say he is not engaging in racism, that he is talking about love of country and objecting to some of the things that they have said in this particular case, but

white house, where it is absolutely stunningly beautiful. quite a contrast to the images we've been seeing so far today. hans, thank you. >>> joining me right now, white house correspondent for reuters welcome, fellas, has the white house viewed these raids a success so far? >> i think we'll probably see or know the answer to that after tomorrow. most of the raids are scheduled to begin tomorrow. it's unusual in a way that these are raids that have been telegraphed for sometime. the president put them on hold, and now they're coming again, i think they're going into 2020. we're only in july here, but this will serve to illustrate his commitment, i think at least this is how they see it, to crack down on illegal immigration, not just by building a wall, but by doing everything he can to remove people from the country who allegedly crossed the border illegally and have stayed. >> what's your take as these ice raised begin? the raid we heard about from bill de blasio in brooklyn and harley today. are these status quo or is this part of the bigger movement? >> i think it's part of the bigger movement. there's some leeway about when the raids are going to take place. many of the immigrat

we have white house correspondent for reuters jeff mason and cnn military and diplomatic analyst, retiredr admiral john kirby here to discuss this. first off, jeff, how did this become a ticketed event? >> well, the white house is saying that the tickets is going to be kind of a vip section near the lincoln memorial. they're saying the tickets will be for military people, friends and family, people who might otherwise have been on the white house south lawn for this event. usually presidents hold a fourth of july event but do it at the white house and bring in military people, bring in staff, let them bring their families and kids and they get to hang out on the south lawn and watch the fireworks. so they're saying that ticketed part is for them. >> so that's a big event normally at the white house but this is a much bigger event that encapsulates everyone on the mall which is important to note. it becomes part of that larger celebration that's on the mall. >> much bigger, yes. >> so what was your reaction, admiral, when you heard about the tanks, all the military equipment that's going t

joining me now, jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters. jeff, the tanks, the military, the flyovers, i mean, it had all of the optics the president wanted, but it rained on his parade. what are you hearing? >> well, i was out there for it actually, and it did rain off and on throughout the day. but he was able to give his speech. the flyovers did occur and the crowd showed up. that was one of the concerns that apparently some of the white house had was that it might not have a big turnout. the president certainly viewed it as a success, but you are right to say that it was a celebration as much of the military as anything else. he has taken some criticism for that. >> his speech seemed pretty neutral. there were concerns he would go off script and become very partisan, though, there are reports that invitations were partisan, seating was partisan. but he kind of remained neutral in terms of partisan issues, in terms of his speech, is that correct? >> reporter: yes, that is correct. that is a departure for president trump because he does of

joining us now, jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters and doug hyde, former rnc communicationshe president's warning left members of his own administration scratching their head, we are told. they're worried it can backfire. is this about immigration enforcement or is it just to fire up his base? >> everything that we've seen about immigration in the past year, past year and a half has been all about politics. you can say that's true about the president and the white house, the administration. certainly true of congressional democrats as well. look, ana, we have a crisis at the border and we know that and everyone acknowledges that. and for a year and a half donald trump has said there is a crisis at the border and it's time to stop the posturing and come up with solutions. unfortunately, having worked on immigration on the hill quite a bit over the years and as jeff has covered quite a bit it doesn't seem likely that there's any real chance of anyone working together and part of why i think that's unfortunate is because donald trump is the one person that can go to the democra

jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters. jeff, begin with you.t appears the republican tack here -- and we will come back when those leaders take questions on this topic. it feels the republican tack here is listen, we are going after their positions and we have every right to do that. which is an interesting line to walk here, because they're not saying as the president -- at least not yet, they're not saying as the president did, yeah, if you hate the country, leave the country. these people hate the country and they support terrorism. they're taking a more nuanced position, are they not, saying we're disagreeing on policy here. which is actually not what the president has been saying. >> i think that's the point. of course, it's okay for people to disagree on policy. this is what the u.s. democracy is about. that's what congress was set up for. but that's not what the president is doing with the tweets and with the rhetoric that he has addressed for u.s. congresswomen. so it makes sense for congresswoman cheney to come out and say that. it doe

jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters. this back-and-forth and how it falls, where the fallout is after this now we are on, what, day to go, day three of? >> for most people watching is a really depressing episode. the political class just really being very self-indulgent, somewhat decadent, and getting involved in this kind of virtuous -- your racist, your racist. nothing practical that affects anybody's life in the real world but since we are having a conversation, i think it is important for everyone who's got a platform to condemn racist speech and hateful speech but with got to be consistent about it, not just what we saw on sunday, and i think it was those things, but also what we've seen from some of these members of congress. if anti-semitism for me is part of hateful speech and racism and it's not just that, if the language about -- this for me is the most offensive of part what's going on at the border, describing most people at the border who are trying to protect the country and help people and manage a chaotic

let's bring in jeff mason white house reporter for reuters, the president is making the case that thehese raids isn't really going to make a difference. is that how you see it, jeff? >> well, i'm not sure how this matters how i see it. but i think you're rights that he's making that argument and he's -- suggesting that it is not going to have an impact. i think that there has been an already because you've had -- advocacy groups coming out with suggestions to people who might be affected by these raids on what to do if i.c.e. members come to their doors. there have been advice and ideas if, you know, some have been told not to open their doors. told about been told about their right all of that really is a function of the fact that the president has warned about this. all of that said i think it raises question of -- in some ways this president trump really just wants to message to go out to his political base that this is something he's doing. because it is a promise that he made, and it is certainly in line with his policies both as a candidate in 2016 now as the president of the un

jeff mason, white house correspond of a reuters and former cia analyst and nationally syndicated radio thoughts on this late edition and kind of laying out the blueprint here. >> i think that to have a late addition like this is consistent with everything that we seem along the process of the way this report has been handled publicly, which is that it is increased, i think, no one's faith in the institutions involved of an approach that is going to be responsible and that's going to stay away from being a real circus. the fact is that mueller is going to come before the congress and say -- stick to i think most of the report, but i can't see any situation where this is not going to end up being shaded in ways that are trying to damage the president further to get him to try to go further than what the report said. democrats are going to try to do that over and over again. it's just going to be a circus-like atmosphere and is not going to be the kind of thing american people deserve. >> bret: the doj wrote this letter saying he should -- mueller should stick to what's in the report. bac

betsy woodrough, reporter for the daryl beast, and msnbc contributor, jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuterslways good to see you. i'm curious what both of you are hearing about the mystery around the vice president being called back to washington. betsy, you first. >> it's a mystery to folks i reached out to on this particular topic and people in the white house are adamant that there was nothing particularly dangerous or sinister about the reasons for him being called back but ultimately what this ep co so -- episode reminds us is the white house cares about their reputation with the public. all presidents and all white houses sometimes say things that aren't true, and sometimes push out messages that are contrary to facts, sometimes in more dramatic ways than others. in this case, the trump administration has largely just entirely jettisoned much of this historic tradition of white houses trying to maintain credibility with the public and that's part of the reason that this bizarre episode with the vice president is generating as much eyebrow raising as it has. >> yeah, i'm curious, jeff,
