a.b. and aaron are back, too.about manafort, which is a case you've been following every twist and turn of since the beginning. i want to go back to this andrew mccabe story that's going down because in just the last couple of moments, andrea mitchell sat down with the vice president. they are traveling overseas. vice president pence is over there. this is breaking, it just happened. but the vice president, mike pence, told nbc news in this exclusive interview today, there he is, live overseas, that he had never heard any discussion of the 25th amendment and said, frankly, i find any suggestion of it to be absurd. he went on to list what he called the president's accomplishments and said i could not be more proud to stand with him and the words or writings of a disgraced fbi agent in the words of pence won't change that fact for the american people. i want to gettior reaction to what we heard from the vice president. unsurprisingly, defending his boss and taking a dig at mccabe. >> so i think two things. i saw the

first of all, a.b., do you buy that?'s not possible. >> i wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. i want to play another piece of sound from president trump last night and we'll talk about it on the other side. here's the president in el paso. >> maybe progress has been made, maybe not. i had a choice. i could have stayed out there and listened or i could have come out to the people of el paso and texas. i chose you. >> so here's the thing, a.b. a lot of folks haven't talked about this just yet. if this wall thing gets resolved and the president gets a wall in some form or fashion, he can't talk about it anymore. does the president really want that, or does he want a fight that could last through the election? >> this is the eternal question, craig, whether or not president trump who newt gingrich said wakes up every morning how to stay on offense. on immigration he took four positions last year. he changed every 36 hours. this is why today is so pivotal, whether or not he actually is going to sign this agreement that he

peter baker and a.b. stoddard remain with us here in d.c.t's on the minds of senate republicans these days and do you have any nominees for profiles in courage? >> well -- >> those not up in 2020. >> right. thom tillis came out from north carolina last night. he said he's going to have to go with the democrats to block the declaration. this is a very, very tough time for republicans. this is perhaps one of the worst jams the president has put them in. i talked to a member on the house side, a defector this morning, who said there is no way that we could -- he could live with the precedent-setting vote like this when a democrat comes in and uses eminent domain to lock down land that has coal mines on it or whatever. this is an indefensible vote for any republican who believes -- who is a constitutional protector and believes in limited government, and this is an abuse of the balance of power. i spoke to a conservative who is ready to back the president, who said essentially the 1976 law is so broad and statute is so badly designed that they c

i think a.b. was getting at something that's exactly right on here. the polling is just bad for him. this is a president, he may not know many things, but one thing he does know is his own sense of polling. he very much believes that his own ability to negotiate, to frankly prevail in situations is very dependent on the base and some independents being with him. he really lost that in that last fight against pelosi. >> even without the wall, though, look at what he's doing when it comes to fundraising for 2020 already. this is his re-election campaign. i say this because i want to at least give some context. a lot of presidents in the past didn't do much fundraising in the first two years in their first term in office. trump has already raised $130 million for his 2020 race. for comparison, you can see there president obama had raised just over $4 million for his 2012 race at this point in 2011. i mean, still, charles, $130 million is nothing to scoff at. >> i believe it underscores the lie he told the first time around, right. i don't need money. i'm

a.b. stoddard back with us, veteran journalist, columnist, associate editor at real clear politics. the aforementioned phil rucker returns as well, pulitzer prize winning white house bureau chief for the "washington post." we also welcome back robert costa, national political reporter, also with the "washington post." big night for that newspaper. he's also moderator of "washington week" on pbs. phil rucker, your reporting, no other way to put it, shows a disconnect between president and presidency. how has this happened or was it inevitable? >> well, brian, i think it was inevitable and it's not entirely new, to be honest. you know, this is how president trump has decided to conduct his presidency and conduct his time in office. he has a very different routine during the day than his predecessors. he treats the intelligence services as you just got into very differently than his predecessors, and at this point, he's unrestrained. he has a new chief of staff, acting chief of staff, mick mu

a.b., how about reaching out to the younger people.it's very effective. what do you think? >> no matter that joe biden is a separate candidate, he can get in on his on time and has a different strength, but he's not just going to separate himself by the only one that isn't attempting to have an instagram game. it's not like he's going to be doing pasta cooking with a streaming feed. he wants to cut across the coalition. he want be reaching for young people the way that o'rourke would be or even bernie with his pie and the sky, freelance socialism that candidates like biden won't back. he can have fun and try to be a good-time guy without pretending he's mr. twitter. >> neil: there can be some savvy with that, jessica. but the base of the party face as very crowded field. we mentioned beto o'rourke. young guy, if he enters the race. what happens to that young vote in. >> well, the young vote will split amongst a few early candidates. young people did fuel the 2018 mid-terms alongside seniors that might like joe biden, by the way. the yo

assembly bill 60, a.b. 60 passed in 2013 stated this was not to be used "as evidence of the holder'sip or immigration status or as the basis for criminal investigation, arrest or detention." our sister station nbc san diego talked with a man who was pulled over by immigration and customs agents and now faces deportation. he says he knows that i.c.e. had access to his driver's license information because that was the picture they used to identify him. a deputy director for the dmv explained that the agency does not keep a separate database for a.b. 60 licenses and all of the dmv records can be accessed by outside agencies through the department of justice. she adds that the searchable information does not include immigration status. a spokesperson for i.c.e. told nbc san diego that i.c.e. cannot access thatdmv database directly but wouldn't explain how they accessed it indirectly, saying that it is law enforcement sensitive. several california lawmakers have been looking into this issue, and are now asking the governor and the attorney general to take a look at how this information mi

i will tell you when i was vetted by a.b., i know because the president told me that a.b. to him and said you don't have to worry about bridge gate. i looked inside and out. no, i think, listen, it got down to me and mike pence. i absolutely would tell you i was disappointed i wasn't picked. it was a big up and down roller coaster ride before it finally was mike pence. i have respect for mike, too. he is a good choice. i wanted to be the choice. >> bret: what about white house chief of staff this most recent time? >> the president and i talked about that. we had a long meeting about it at the white house. i went home to think about it when i thought about at this just thought it's not the right time for me to do it. >> bret: you have been in politics a long time. you see the evolution of the democratic party and where their strength is on the left. where what do you think that shapes up to be 2020. this race? >> just like ours was in 2016. a total disorganized food fight where you are not sure. remember, four years ago right now the frontrunner for the republican nominatio

here to weigh in, a.b.ddard, philipp rinus, jason johnson and cynthia oxny, a former sex crimes prosecutor, back with me. cynthia, legally, what does this mean for the victims? the judge didn't overturn the plea deal. can they press charges? >> we will have to see. the judge said they have 15 days to come up with something under the crime victims act. he can rip up this agreement. there's a couple of options. one is, he rips up the agreement and a new set sof attorneys loo at the case. the other option is to have the case looked at in other districts where the crimes occurred. i can't even begin to tell you how horrifying reading this order is. we're supposed to be the people with the white hats. in this case, the prosecutors essentially lied to the victims, they concealed what they were doing, they misled the victims. secretary acosta was intimately involved in that. he was sneaking off and having meetings away from the office to get it done. it's somewhere -- i'm somewhere in between enraged and depressed

devlin and harry are back as well as sam and a.b. here at the table. me start with you, devlin, and your understanding of how much of the actual investigative findings will go to bar or whether or not it will simply be, if it were a case you could prosecute, what kind of material in your understanding will go to barr since our understanding is the justice department is operating under the belief that they're going to adhere to a policy of not indicting the president? >> right. so there's a couple of points. it's a little bit mechanical and a little bit nerdy. essentially what's going to happen is mueller is going to submit a summary to the attorney general bill barr that says we indicted the following people. that will probably not be very interesting to bill barr, because i assume he already knows that. the interesting part will be we investigated the following people but chose not to indict them. and that part i think mueller has a fair bit of discretion to decide how much detail he wants to get into in his report to barr. now, what barr has said he

and a.b. stoddard. you leave us and get on a train to d.c. for tonight's state of the union. what do you expect? what do you want to hear? >> i really want to hear a uniting message. i think what we've heard from people from dubuque to georgia, that they are feeling that this country's really divided. i want to hear about a united message. i want to hear about infrastructure. i'm incessantly talking about the gateway tunnel project which we need in new york and new jersey. i want to hear about bringing health care costs down and how we can have an agenda that's going to do that. my guest will be someone who suffered a tragic loss from the opoid epidemic. i want to hear about that. unifying messages that can bring the country together. >> if he puts forth these messages knowing who he is and what he does and the tweets that could follow or the policies, are you willing to believe that? >> i think we're going to work in the caucus and in the house to execute what he says he's going to do and hope that if we pass good legislation, that he will sign it and we can move the country

a.b. and betsy are still here.in your world and in your beat, you come across presidents -- i put the administration in which i serve in this category -- would take the intel and make decisions that are controversial and seem justified by the intel but you don't see a lot of examples of a president who is the number one client of the intelligence committee saying i don't believe the facts, i don't believe the evidence, i don't believe the intel. >> yeah, look, he's the elected commander in chief, the decisions are his to make. he's allowed to disagree with the intelligence apparatus, with the law enforcement apparatus but you just don't see it to disagree and it's not sort of healthy for him to be in such contrast to all of the intelligence officials, head of the fbi, cia and others. i think, you know, it's remarkable to on some of these topics, these are sensitive national security matters. the one that stands out to me the most, of course, is his disagreement or public disagreement with the intelligence community

so now a deputy director for the dmv explains the agency does not keep a separate database for a.b. 60 licenses and all the dmv's records can be accessed by outside agencies. some of those accesses require a court order. a spokesperson for i.c.e. told nbc san diego that i.c.e. cannot access the dmv's database directly but wouldn't explain how they accessed that information indirectly because they say it is "law enforcement sensitive." sevel california lawmakers are now asking the governor and the attorney general to look into this access because they want to make sure that anyone who wants to drive, drives legally. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> kris, thank you. >>> it is 4:34 right now. a group of burglary suspects caught red handed, thanks to this video. crime captured in the crowd, it left one south bay family feeling uneasy. >> jean elle revealed how this clue cracked the case. >> they took cash from me. they tooky makeup. >> reporter: they found their san jose home trashed and their car missing when they got home from vacation last to ng at vacation photos, they

a.b. stoddard.cluding military that would be a big leap what do you think? >> look, we heard since this emergency, this crisis in venezuela came out into the spotlight in january in terms that of the revelation our government was talking to guaido and making him the interim president and other nations are recognizing him as well and rejects maduro, throughout this conversation these last five, six weeks, has been the question whether or not the u.s. intends to go in there to prompt regime change with use of the military. there is clearly, neil a desperate, very cruel, tragic humanitarian crisis unfolding in venezuela. it was upsetting for everyone to see over the weekend, this humanitarian aid and food aid blocked from, in violent protests from reaching people who desperately need it. venezuelans who have lost 25-pounds in the last couple years that remain there. millions have fled. it is truly desperate. if there is some planning for a multilateral multination humanitarian initiative that would not

a.b. 119 requires agencies to negotiate with unions on details of the negotiations. there are a couple that didn't make it but i'm sure they will come back. we just had a first language on friday. it.till haven't seen wherenewal contracts, isentially in the fine print will redirect the from one of the contracts. they are no longer required by law to contribute. i agree that the contributions authorized above shall continue in this should automatically renew annually. this is not just one rogue union. expectedcourt ruled as . and in -- and in new line, it was disastrous. federation, the will team uperest with another attack. and disaster averted. the union president was quoted saying that anyone writing the obituary will be sorely disappointed. the reality of it matters because we will be fighting new efforts to deal with janice. people are delaying it for years . and as chuck will go over, there are a lot of cases. have reporting deadlines. story that did a stateunion ship -- membership in unions is up by 300 people. but even they noted that it is impossible to quit

i want to let you know there's an introduction of a.b.161 requiring electronic proof of purchase so electronic receipts. so we're tracking this. we need to look at it in more detail to see how it possibly works but we think this could be challenging as well for small businesses because not all small businesses have are all electronic where you can say e-mail me my reset. >> i will tell you most of the square says no reset and you sign and hit the button and a get an e-mail. >> the challenge i think with this and again cross-referencing it with the p.o.s. is a lot of times the receipts are not itemized and the requirement is the customer needs an itemized receipt and the business has to deal with it if it gets passed. then another item i just wanted to bring to your attention so there's discussion at the state level with the state legislature about putting proposition 3 as a new ballot measure to a proposition 13. and so we just had some beginning discussions about do we need to sort of think about the impact on small businesses. if it does go through and get passed to the degree that commercia

i was closely watching a.b.2020 as it went through the legislation and became law january 1. i've been work the -- working with the office of cannabis and putting this in place and to your point around the odor management. one of the things i suggest for events within the city is it is vaporizer only. it doesn't get entire smell but reduces that. as an event organizer in the state working with the city i wanted to come up and suggest i'm for this. i want to be able to work with the city as well as the commission to do what we can to make this responsible and do it respectfully and engage the small businesses to help them. again my name's fernando alvarez the ceo and founder of pretend logics. >> commissioner: any other members of the public, come on up. >> hello, everyone. i'm perry jones the founder and ceo of joe r.s. a third generational resident in san francisco and equity applicant with the office of cannabis. first of all, i'd like to thank eugene for all the hard work you do with the office and for all of you guys for having such an open mind and allowing us to be here

stoddard as well as eli stokeles. >> a.b., let's start with you.e, red, how has virginia changed? how has it changed over time? >> it's been pretty rapid if you look at the last couple election cycles. president obama winning it was huge. it is just purpled up so much particularly in northern virginia that it's now, you know, really considered a blue state, but the politics in the south are very different and the mindset that we're seeing here from ralph northam that this is not -- that he attended a racist elementary school and the teachers made him get into these costumes. this is medical school. your guests are right. this is shocking anywhere in this country in 1984. unless he comes out today and says, like larry said, a perry mason presentation with all sorts of witness that would conflict with what he told us last night, unless he says i drank all through medical school, there's no explanation of why this would be acceptable and again, why he could, you know, see it in a yearbook page and continue on without ever saying anything. he's put eve

acknowledged -- how did he call her -- kamala, she had a great crowd size in oakland, we know that senator a.buchar is next in line. she's teasing making this big announcement on sunday. what lessons should fellow democrats learn from how senator harris rolled out? >> she had a good rollout. she had a big rollout. she had large crowds which you know the president appreciates and she was able to as a result of this rollout raise a million and a half bucks a couple of days after she declared her candidacy. so when you have a lot of senators competing, i think the best way to do it is to distinguish yourself. she did it early. she did it big and that was the difference between harris, for example, and cory booker who did not do it that way and did not get the bump out of his announcement that she did. we have to say, look, it is early and these are just the people who were in now. we'll have some more coming in that we haven't even thought about yet and maybe they won't be from washington. >> i'm sure. gloria, thank you. >> sure. >>> now to this stunning admission from pope francis, sexual abuse

and over to you, a.b.eet from nicki hailing congratulating her but nikki haley was able to turn a corner and make a voice for herself at the u.n. >> right. it is very interesting not only because of the person that nikki haley is, she was willing to be very at times defiant when she crossed hairs with the administration and the president as you remember she once said something about russia sanctions that was countered by -- basically denied by the administration and they said she had gotten confused and she said respectfully, i don't get confused. she had cabinet-level ranking as u.n. ambassador, something once she left secretary of state mike pompeo sought to take away as geoff points out this is not a powerful position as it once was and after president trump did get up set from time to time with nikki haley that he would pick somebody that would go against him on policy like confronting the russians. so it is important to note that while donors are often given the position of ambassadors to different co

a.b. stoddard. charles payne, as i said back in december when everyone was worried about -- look what is going on. ye of little faith. way to go. charles: thanks a lot, neil. good afternoon, everyone. i'm charles payne. this is "making money". now s&p 500, nasdaqing all hitting new 2019 highs. so what's next for the markets? how high can this market go? i have a dream panel weighing in on this. i will go in depth if the tech unicorns are great investment, certainly on the first day, do you want to chase them? vice president pence meeting with juan guaido as venezuela's opposition calling for military intervention. the u.s. and united states military, should we move that closely? we'll go in depth on this and a lot more on "making money." ♪ charles: president trump signaling confidence, at least he is confident enough right now with all the progress being made with the china trade talks between the united states and china take a listen. >> looks like they will be coming back quickly again and we'll h

a.b. stoddard, it means we'll have you back very soon. >>> here's senator cory booker putting his hat in the ring. >> i think cory booker almost sounds like a hallmark card and not necessarily a person who is there to tell you everything he's accomplished in the united states and new york. i imagine the democratic field will be attacking each other's records or lack thereof, so we'll be sitting bawith bags of popcorn watching that. >> this primary battle we're going to see, can you just react to what we're hearing from kellyanne conway? because as you see this interparty battle that we're expecting to see, sure, maybe that's something the white house wants to celebrate, but it's also, aside from being just kind of a cage fight, there is an element of political darwin ichld where it's glg to chaloine in political fields. what is she saying there? >> we're continuing to add to the field of what i think are extremely capable and qualified and, i think, even inspirational figures competing for

and a.b. stoddard, associate editor for real clear politics.nel in just a moment. what has their investigation uncovered? >> both republicans and democrats are telling us they found no direct evidence of a conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia. which after all was the big question everyone was asking. it's important to note they're not exonerating the president either. what they found is a pattern of contacts between trump associations and the russians. he may end up with a report that says american public use your judgment. here are the contacts, here's what happened. we don't have really the

a.b. and aaron are with us. what are you working on, what are you hearing?he mueller report at some point soon. >> if it happens. >> that's another question. there were a couple events this week that threw cold water on the idea this would be soon. one was roger stone. the mueller team said they got voluminous and complex information from the raid of roger stone. terabytes of information. that's going to take a long time to get through. the other thing is that earlier this week, andrew miller who is a stone association who is fighting a grand jury subpoena, his lawyer said the grand jury says they still want his testimony. that suggests they're looking at possible charges maybe against rau roger stone. all of this could take a great amount of time. it's not going to happen as quickly as we want to. >> what are you working on some. >> a week ago "the new york times" reported my governor, larry hogan of maryland might be looking a primary challenge to trump and donors are watching the mueller report and are hesitant about whether to support the president. ther
