. >>> time now for a look at axios a.m.axios, alexi mccannen. let's get started with axios' one big thing for the morning. >> good morning, guys. good to see you. so today's one big thing is a look at an axios monkey poll that shows half of u.s. voters are feeling pessimistic about the state of the economy which is a strong departure from their male colleagues who believe it's doing well. we saw one of the strongest differences in voting this past election. this could mean trouble for president trump in 2020 when women are moving more towards democrats. >> alexi, out of all the economic ibs for women voters, which ranks as the most important for them and how could that impact president trump's 2020 prospects? >> something like 70% of women in our survey said that they are most concerned about the state of the economy and the direction in which it is moving. that could cause president big problems for president trump in 2020 because the economy and jobs has been a message he has repeated over and over again as president. but

the axios experts say that's the sign of things to come, more factories closing and more jobs lost. if you look at the top six u.s. sedans, the japanese are ahead in all of those. we you grew up with a chevrolet station wagon, dad had a ford match rick. b -- maverick. now not only are they growing, but they're more profitable. >> the f-150 is it. >> i find sometimes the americaner cars are more popular in europe like the equinox or the volt, some of those cars. you're reporting the president will be facing a new test. what is that? >> this is the ukraine crisis. we saw nikki haley instantly calling out russia, saying that what they had done was arrogant and unacceptable. the same day, the president saying we don't like the crisis either way, an echo of his language. they're very different letting russia off the hook for now until we've seen in the past him seem to go side with russia and the ukraine crisis, seeming to side with putin, yet there will be huge pressure from his own national security establishment to call out russia on this. >> and, of course, it's ahead of the g20 summ

with a look at axios, the man himself, jonathan swan.y morning. what is axios' one big thing? >> we're calling it the conservative comfort trap. conservative mania, this is something that we've been noticing for the some time. conservative media pose a surprising risk to trump. while fox news opinion shows and other outlets provide unstintingly glowing coverage about this, the interviews that he does often open him up to some of his more substantial risks. he let's down his guard, he's in his comfort zone and he says ill advised things. we saw that again this week with the daily caller in the oval office. a reporter from the daily caller threw trump a seemingly harmless question about mat matt whitaker. if whitaker goes through a senate nomination, democrats are going to bring this up as evidence that trump links his appointment to the mueller investigation. we've seen it time and between. >> jonathan, how do you gauge the reaction or the reaction to the president when he does these interviews? is he helping himself or is he hurting hims

the one big thing from axios this morning is?essures are mounting on matt whitacre. we have the political pressures, which is substantial. obviously, the top democrats are calling him to recuse himself from the mueller investigation. that was very early as soon as trump announced the appointment because of past comments. and i've seen that you played some of them o air that he's made. but there is a growing body of legal opinion that the appointment itself is unconstitutional. you mentioned the george conway op-ed in the "new york times." it's actually broader than that. there are prominent conservative lawyers, bush-era lawyers like john bellinger who agree with this interpret, that the constitution requires that he be senate confirmed. so those two pressures are really recruit nicing for him. >> we're going to have more on that with neal. >>> so we've heard the legal arguments, that this is not constitutional or unconstitutional. but does the president have any argument that whitacre's appointment is actually legal? >> yeah. so

>> we have another clip that we did for axios hbo. the president and whether or not he's worried that this could result in the shooting of a reporter or others. and it was a pretty fascinating exchange. he made it clear throughout the interview that he feels he has to do this because it's what got him elected and he says his audiences command it. he said the audiences need it. they want it. they want the attacks. so it's clear he both feels the grievance. he does feel like he's outmatched against the media which i don't understand, but he also feels that this is the way to keep his party energized. and he made plain that this is going to continue. it will probably escalate. and god forbid something happens, some reporter gets hurt or shot, that that is not his issue. >> i'm just curious. you were asking that pointed question. coming from you, jim, to the president, do you feel an animus from him? is he amused by it? you're really just punching, the two of you guys, on this topic. >> what is really interesting is i think he felt more c

melissa: she did an interview with axios and she hit home that she wasn't kidding and she's going to come after all of these institutions. basically i would ask you how big of a threat do you think that is? does she have a lot of support on the committee to do the things she wants to do or no? you are there. >> well, i think she needs of a factual case on why she wants to have a hearing related to deutsche bank and deutsche bank's financing with the trump organization prior to the -- mr. trump becoming president or what she wants to pursue with wells fargo, for example. she needs to make that case to her staff and to the democrats on the committee, and then if there's a substantial reason for doing it, then she probably has certainly the right as chair to hold those hearings. and we will have to see how that goes from the point of view of what our response is on the republican side. but i think -- she has an issue with her own committee in regard to what she's proposing. she's got of them on board with the approach that she takes to these large global financial institutions. melissa:

what have you got from axios this morning? is now individual one. until now, the special counsel's narrative has been focused on the characters around president trump. yesterday, he has publicly put president trump in the center of this and we now have a profit motive for what has, until now, been an unexplained affinity with russia and reluctant to criticize vladimir putin. >> so what is michael cohen's plea mean for president trump in terms of his potential connections to russia? he's making the argument that, you know what? i was a private citizen. this is normal business. it was in case i didn't win the presidency. but is that really going to hold up, do you think? >> no, because the entire purpose of the probe is to figure out whether there was any collusion between the trump campaign and russia. and the trump campaign, he was candidate trump. that fits under his definition of a private citizen. we now know from michael cohen's deal plea, which rudy giuliani has not contradicted, that the trump organization was looking at

rudy giuliani told axios president trump would not cooperate if mueller asks additional questions aboutis behavior as president, including questions on potential obstruction of justice, even if he was presented with a subpoena. giuliani also told axios that if mueller wants president trump's answers on obstruction, they're already out there. quote, any question he has on obstruction, the president has given the interviews in tweets. other witnesses have given it to him. >>> joining me now is daniel goldman, nbc news legal analyst and former assistant u.s. attorney, also the 5th brightest mind that we've had on today. daniel, thanks for being here. rudy giuliani says he can find all of the obstruction answers, they're already out there. are they? >> that is complete garbage. first of all -- >> he did talk to -- he sat down with lester holt and he said i was thinking about russia when i fired comey. he tweets about this stuff all the time. >> but he's also said other things contrary to that because he's trying to walk back. and so the whole point of interviewing the president, even if you

jonathan swan, national political reporter for axios and of hbo fame. kimberly atkins, washington bureau chief for the boston herald, white house reporter for the ap, jonathan lemere and rev al sharpt orngs president of the national action network. i know you know president trump so you're never as shocked as i am when he says out loud and in public some things that, you know, that -- i read that report from "the new york times." you now have gop operatives saying two newspaper reporters that -- when we lose the house, not if, it will be because, in part because of donald trump's closing message. >> i think that clearly it will be in part. when you look at the fact that some independent voters, suburban voters, that may have been leaning their way do not want to be identified with this kind of divisive and polarizing kind of politics, he has single handedly done what a lot of the republican candidates and operatives has feared. he has delivered the vote against them. and i think that he has done it aggressively. what is so shocking to people that don't

our friends over at axios reporting that democrats are loading what they're calling a subpoena cannonh more than 85 trump targets. topping the list the president's tax returns, his family businesses, his dealings with russia, a hush money payment to a porn star, the firing of the former fbi director. that's just the start. this same axios piece adds that "top democrats who had largely avoided the subject during the campaign now tell us they plan to almost immediately begin exploring possible grounds for impeachment." here is how president trump reacted to questions about these investigations a day after the election. >> you're saying that if -- >> not at all. >> -- if they start investigating you, that you can play that game and investigate them. >> better than them. >> can you -- >> and i think -- and i think i know more than they know. >> can you compartmentalize that and still continue to work with them for the benefit of the rest of the country -- >> no. >> -- or are all bets off? >> no. if they do that, it's just a -- all it is is a war-like posture. >> here to talk about it, for

but in what could signal coming standoff between the white house and the special counsel, axios reportsote, the high-stakes exchange with mueller included no questions or answers about obstruction of justice. but rudy giuliani said, i can't tell you mueller's given up on obstruction. and if mueller wants answers, that may mean a subpoena is next which would likely kick off an historic legal battle and trump, according to axios is ready for a fight. the president's view on a subpoena is clear. he will refuse to cooperate. mike, aaron and yamiche and joyce vance are here. where do you think this is heading? do you think mueller could live with getting partial answers on collusion and zero responses to the obstruction of justice inquiry that he spent so much time bringing witnesses in and asking about? >> i find it hard to believe this investigation on obstruction, which focuses on the president, did he have criminal intent, that mueller will close up shop without doing everything he can to find out from the president why he took the measures that he did. and to do that, it seems like he'd

donald trump confessed to axios that one of the most strident attack lines that the press is the enemythe people is an act. >> to be honest, what scares the crap out of me is if you're saying enemy of the people, enemy of the people. >> you're right. >> but god forbid that like somebody, you've got federal reservent supporters. they love you and -- >> they like me more because of that. >> they like you more but what happens if someone gets shot. someone shoots one of these reporters? but honestly -- i don't think you think we're the enemy of the people, do you? >> i don't. but if you gave me false reports i'd say that's not a good thing for our country. >> don't you worry at all? you're the most powerful man in the world. if you say that word enemy, enemy, tens of thousands of people go into a stadium to listen to you and people go on social media and get themselves so jazzed up. i'm scared someone is going to take it too far. >> it's my only form of fighting back. i couldn't be here if i did that. >> you won. you have the presidency. >> but i did this before i won. >> unbelievable. aa

. >> what is the big -- from axios. >> what is the big picture for this? >> we said we believe we can reach 30 million households with our verizon 5g home products. it is a fairly substantial heat to the business. but it is one of the pieces of the 5g feature. we are first to market with 5g. the mobility will quickly follow. everyone is expecting and asking when do you get mobility or can i get a phone that has 5g service? we will be launching mobility very soon. devices will be ready for 5g soon. we have a motorola phone announced a month ago that, with 5g is available, they will create a mod and snap that mod phone.e back of the so there are already phones in the market that will be able to take advantage of 5g as soon as it is available. but back to your question about the home product, we believe it is a great place to enter the market with 5g. right now, you have a marketplace -- many places are not served with home broadband products. many places may only have one provider. way with nos is a trenching, no disruption to the home, where we can provide

in a video interview with axios reporters, president trump said his i administratio considering anti-trust action against some of the major tech companies. >> what about a monopoly? >> you do.e i h so many people saying that. but it certainly something that we have looked at. >> would you ever break them up? >> they we talking about this years ago. they were actually talking about this se subject, monopoly years ago. long before i was in office. >> you t mnk you'll be the to do it? >> a lot of people thought it was going to happen. and then i guess a previous administration stopped it from happening. >> you're in charge now. >> i'm in charge. i am definitely in charge. anta we are cly looking at it. >> ts is apntitrust. >> for amazon? >> for all three. >> we have been reporting that increased regulation is a risk for the tech secr. today amazon, google's parent company alphabet and all traded lower. >>> now to trade rumbles which, of course, have been on going concern for the markets. president trump said today thatt china isested in reaching some sort of an agreement but that he will only

axios had one. there are others being written.top of this. >> you kind of started this and i remember before the election you were saying maybe they could have a constructive relationship with maxine waters. here's the thing. i think she's going to want certain things out of the banks, campaign contributions, stuff that helps her community. it's a lower income community in los angeles. so that is clearly going to be the focus and i think the banks will, you know, you would see i guess better cra compliance. that's the sort of stuff that i think she would want out of them. but she will do some investigations and i think the investigations will not be broad stroke, unless she finds some massive sort of fraud or problems in banks not lending to minority communities. i think where she's going to go with this, because remember, she doesn't have a lot of power, she has investigative power, she has almost no power to regulate. connell: that's the federal reserve. >> it would be to look at essentially two banks, i think wells fargo, i und

in an interview with axios, new york democrat nita lowey, set to poair the powerful appropriations committeeecked off a laundry list of potential areas for inquiry. >> the travel ban? >> yes. >> the family separation policy? >> absolutely. >> hurricane relief in puerto rico? >> oh! it was absolutely inadequate. >> reporter: add to that dozens of other topics: including, who allege affairs with mr. trump, russian involvement in the 2016 election, and the appointment of non-senate co california's adam schiff will lead the house intelligence ntmmittee. >> mr. whitaker needs to t herstand that he will be called to answer, and any role that he plays will be exposed to the public. >> reporter: house democratic leader nancy pelosi, likely to become the next speaker, told "face the nation" democrats need to be strategic. >> we are not scattershot, we are not doing any investigation for a political purpose, but to seek the truth. >> reporter: last week, the president said democratic , vestigations could backfire. >> now, we could investigate. they look at us, we look at them. it goes on for two years

democratic congressman adam schiff says on axios, he's planning an investigation of trump abusing his. this is what happens or could happen or will happen when you have a democratic house. left-wing protesters target tucker carlson's home. this is an appalling tactic for anybody who cares about free speech. howie: the president summoned hannity on stage along with jeanine pirro. the network put out a statement of disapproval. fox news does not condone any journalists -- >> i gave a tweet that was truthful. the president, i had no idea. i was honored by the president's request it was not planned. howie: he clarified his remarks about fake news. >> i was not and would never refer to my friend and colleagues at the fox news channel. they are such a cut above anybody else. if anybody construed it that way, i'm sorry in terms of the people i work with. howie: hannity and pirro are you be abashed supporters of trump. for an opinion host to praise the president on a campaign rally stage cross the line. it creates a perception problem for a network that is often accused fairly or unfairly as
