brian: judge napolitano said the president should not speak to robert mueller, especially after he spokeour lawyer do it. brian: rick gates was in and out of the robert mueller building. that he might be looking to cut a deal. they will focus on the flynn investigation led to james comey firing. comey to the fired. he spoken in december we believe before the new year. that must have went well. they're good friends. senator sessions who is now attorney general, he just spoke. grilled for hours. ainsley: the fbi was able to recover 50,000 of those text messages between the two lovers at the fbi. we're waiting for five months of lost text messages. out of 50,000, some are red flags and have been brought to our attention. we want to bring them to your attention. there was one, let me read it to you. this is from peter strzok to his girlfriend. this was the day robert mueller was appointed to the investigation. may 19th, 2017. he writes to his girlfriend, strzok does, this is talking before i read, collusion. you and i both know the odds are nothing. if i thought it was likely i'd be, it woul

brian: you dedicate this book to jean robert? who is he?ark: he was at the time the bureau chief for the new york times in vietnam. he plays a role in the story. an important one. later in life he became the editor of the philadelphia inquirer. he hired me in 1975. i knew him as the terrific newspaper editor who later became the managing editor of the new york times. in his youth, he was a terrific reporter covering the civil rights movement in the south and later as a reporter in vietnam. brian: here he is at the national press club talking about the hue battle. >> i had heard vague reports of trouble in hue. the capital city of the emperors during the french colonial era. i made my way by helicopter and found the marines were surrounded and held only two blocks of the city. the viet cong and north vietnamese forces held onto the rest. each day the marines were reinforced by fresh units. they re-took two or three blocks of the city only to lose most of it again during the night to enemy troops who infiltrated the -- into houses during the

robert: could it be more than that, brian? are the democrats prepared if they take the the house, because of the president's conduct, are they ready to move on impeachment? brian: there are democrats that are holding off out there and they don't want tom stire out in california. they want to keep the focus on the russia investigation and not take the step of impeachment, that it's too early. but it might be something they bring up in a year or two. robert: there's a policy question overhanging this discussion about u.s. sanctions on russia. where does that stand? yian: the trump administration has tried to show it's willing to take a strong stand against russia. just today, the treasury department issued sanctions against 30 officials and firms in both russia and ukraine who supported russia's invasion of crimea. so that was a first step. but what everyone is really waiting for is the treasury department, next week, release a report that's supposed to pave the way for perhaps more onerous sanctions that would be targeted poten

brian: this is january 1968 around that time. right around that time robert mcnamara stepped down after seven years as secretary of defense. he had a book that came out in 1995. here is one minute of robert mcnamara, former secretary of defense during the whole vietnam war. >> my report to the president, which i'm said to him, there is only a best one in two chance we could win militarily. he said, you mean to say you do not think we can win militarily? i said, yes. that was my report to him. should i have said that to him? -- publicly? what do you think? what does your audience think? this is a terrible dilemma. particularly so, i want to tell, you i was in a very small minority. i am not saying i was right. other people thought then and many thing today that we were winning then, some think we were winning. that is baloney. but it is not baloney to say that other people thought i was wrong. in any event, suppose we all thought that we were not winning, that there is only a one in three, or a one in two chance of winning? is that we use a publicly -- you say

anyway you'll never know what's going on in robert this is brian said just look that one sunday follow the money that way and i think back on a bill for the paycheck. tax documents and declarations of the foundations fiscal allocations for the years two thousand and twelve to twenty fifteen show that mercer financed a reactionary right wing institute and lobbies. the heritage foundation an anti-tax and economic regulation lobby got one point five million dollars the media research center which fights leftist media bias twelve million dollars. to govern. meant accountability institute which tracks government corruption and published books critical of hillary clinton three point seven million dollars. the heartland institute which defends climate change skeptics two point eight million dollars. in new york even paid for an ad denouncing the construction of a mosque near ground zero in just two years robert mercer became one of the ten most influential billionaires in politics according to the washington post. but even if the billionaire was able to spend money to support his causes he st

brian: talking about robert mueller being fired? >> he wasn't fired.ught you might do something you didn't do? this tells you where we're at right now. frankly, if i could, for a second, my strongest advice to the president is to never be interviewed by mueller. the dangers inherent in having all of those high-priced lawyers who spent a year now digging up everything they could dig up and walking in and saying now, do you remember on january 3rd at 3:00 in the afternoon a meeting you were in over a year ago? the danger he has of giving them an answer which doesn't fit their other material is enormous and i hope his lawyers will talk him out of it. brian: i hear you. i understand that where mueller could walk up, unless you know better, if you don't want to talk to me i could recommend a grand jury subpoena you, go out there without a lawyer, that is the risk, isn't it, or am i wrong? >> well i think mueller could try to get a subpoena. they would fight that in court. the first question trump's lawyers ought to ask is simple, what is the crime you're in

and robert put it like this... meanwhile, brianrt off in december and then you really let rip injanuary. every day there's a report about how bad it is, people dying in corridors, not enough nurses, not enough doctors. there's always something wrong with the nhs every day for you guys and you really should stop it. it's a wonderful organisation, why can't you let it be? it's a very big, tough organisation to run for those who are running it and i wish he would stop this obsession and fixation with it. well, hugh pym, the health editor for bbc news is with me now. thank you for coming newswatch. there is a sense that the nhs in crisis story comes around each winter. are you too negative in how you focus on it? well, there's always a balance to be struck, we are very aware of that. the balance between recognising that the nhs does a fantasticjob throughout the year and it is a very popular and well regarded institution. the staff work extremely hard. but also recognising that if is under great pressure and staff are feeling the press

as you know, rachel and brian, as we've reported, the president has had a very complicated relationship with robert mueller, for example. he ordered him to be fired over the summer privately. of course, he backed down after he got a lot of resistance to do that, but again, this really looms large over this white house. even a night like tonight, this state of the union, not enough to turn the page of the discussion that looms so tall. rachel? >> thank you very much for that. much appreciated. >>> let's bring in democratic congressman luis gutierrez. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, rachel. >> let me ask you, as i've asked a number of democrats tonight, your decision to be there. some progressive democrats in particular decided they didn't want to be in the room tonight for the state of the union. you decided to attend. i wanted to ask if you're glad you did and whether that was a difficult decision for you. >> you know, i wanted to say to the world i'm present. this is still our house. it's the people's house. i didn't want to abandon my responsibility. i want to be there. and i also wanted

robert, rewind and tell us something we touched on. as a wing man, as a campaign traveler, the importance of jeff sessions early on to donald trump. >> oh, brian, i saw it up close. then-senator sessions in his hometown of mobile, alabama put on that cap, make america great again, it was a scene that elevated president trump into the mainstream republican party to have him bring a celebrity into the fold, adopt some of his hard line positions. that's why sessions is mattered then and that's why he was brought into the cabinet. it gave a credibility that helped the president win availability and then the presidency. >> quickly realizing the white hat was way too large for his head. >> ashley, do you think there is a chance that trump sees jeff sessions as kind of the embodiment of all of his current troubles? >> i think there is a very good chance that that's exactly the case. we understand that president trump is incredibly furious with his attorney general, and it basically comes down to this one original sin, which is that he recused himself. president trump believes that that recusal sort of set the ball in motion for ultimately mueller's i

robert, reading this, does this not void the deal between schumer and mcconnell to bring up daca in the clear? >> don't overread these tweets. the president has a habit, brianmes of using this kind of language, cryin', chuck, but remember it was less than a week ago that the minority member went for a cheeseburger with trump. both of these sides with schumer walk ago way from the wall and the president's tweet, they're both taking their positions, but they're new yorkers who like to cut deals, and that hasn't changed. >> ashley, is this a new york thing versus washington? >> um -- it's a good question. i think, you know, between schumer and the president, i do think -- and the president's aides will say this -- that personally the president would rather be in a room having a cheeseburger with chuck schumer over any of those republican congressional leaders any day. i think it's partially a new york thing. i think he likes a deal maker. i think he likes schumer's energy, frankly. the president has been known to do sort of a dour impression of mcconnell. it's an energy, and that's why you have the president's staff kind of having to pull him back and say, wai

robert mueller was tapped to be special counsel to investigate the trump collusion. steve: a lot of stuff is missing. ainsley: very interesting. steve: or is it missing? brianthere are some technology firms who have offered a myriad of ways thousand recover it rush limbaugh weighed in. he sees a little bit of a problem. listen. >> folks, this is the establishment. they are not just gonna sit back and roll over and die. if they can rig the game, they're going to rig the game like they rigged it for hillary. we now know that the fbi and loretta lynch and comey were on the same page. we know because of texts from peter strzok to lisa page and back and forth that they knew they were going to exonerate hillary clinton. it was all a part of deal. it was prearranged. she had to win. if hillary didn't win, all of the things they have been doing here to sabotage trump, ran the risk of being exposed. if there are incriminating texts that prove, for example, that trump-russia story is entirely made up, do you think they are going to leave those hanging around for somebody to find? it's not going to happen. steve: somebody will find them. brian: strange thing is andrew

brian: you had peter strzok involved in every element of the investigation released as soon as the ig lets robertces referenced and they talk about a secret society. we don't know. we are about to -- somebody saw those text messaging between him and lisa page. >> what's so strike to go me see reporters, self-described reporters it's illegitimate to know answers to the questions. really? the suggestion that they might be acting out of political motive and we need to put that question to rest, sunlight is the only way to do that, reporters of all sides are belittling the charge for transparency. steve: so little curiosity on the story? >> i'm not carrying water for any politician when i ask the question, was our government using these agencies for political ends, that's the question that democrats use today ask, you had hearings all the time in washington about that question. ainsley: if they were, tucker, what needs to happen to these individuals? >> i don't think there's any graver betrayal of the public trust than to use the awesome power of the agencies for political ends, it's actually terrify

brian: i'm not sure what the attorney general is doing or not doing. there is a lot of talk about the president testifying that robertand they are thinking about it do you think the president should sit down with robert mueller? >> i think they should proffer that mueller can submit written questions and they will answer his written questions. steve: yep. >> i would not get involved in a free for all. i think the idea of putting trump in a room with five or six hardened, very, very clever lawyers, all of whom are trying to trap him would be a very, very bad idea. brian: why are they even thinking about it? obviously that would be the case. >> right. i mean, well, i don't know why they are thinking about it they ought to say, look, if you want to submit written questions, we will provide written answers from the president. that's the only thing you are going to get. i don't think it's possible for mueller to force it to happen. and i think that if they offer them that, then they take it or leave it. steve: mr. speaker, real quick. the president is going to sit down with top leaders from the republican party and the de
