>> bill: good interview with chris wallace on sunday and kelly ann picks it up. how does the white house views these? >> joyful and triumphant since we're in the holiday season. the president made a big difference. governor scott and congressman desantis ran excellent campaigns. this president getting in there several times in the last six or seven days really made the difference. and also him encouraging them not to bail on their clear victories. you had andrew gillum not once, but twice concede to governor scott -- excuse me, ron desantis for the governor. they clearly won and i think that people got another view of somebody like brenda snipes and her shenanigans and that should be the first order of business for governor desantis to really look at who the running the counties and the electoral committees. nelson won by 1.1 million votes. this time he lost. the people in florida don't want him to be the senator. unremarkable. credited for his service but in the last few years he has been unremarkable in his record and also voted against kavanaugh. >> bill: move

howie: in the interview with chris wallace, chris asked the president about asking the attorney -- thecting attorney general matt whitaker, the president said if whitaker took any steps to curtail or rein in the investigation he would leave it up to whitaker and he wouldn't intervene. chris: did you know before you have appointed him he had that record and was so critical of mueller. president trump: i did not know that. howie: he gets his own acting attorney general and he had no idea he was a mueller critic? emily: i find that hard to believe as well. he did transition into talking about the investigation. it's not something i'm going to freak out over. >> this is part of the speculation on why the president was lashing out. sara: you would expect him to be anxious about what's coming out here. we heard reports that even some third-level players -- chris: talking about jojer stone iing it's -- about roger stone saying it's not important. but there was a lot of press speculation. mo: everybody should stop speculating. i want the president to chill out and let this thing happen. so sho

this is the first time though with chris wallace that he has actually acknowledged as much publicly.ays dangle out the carrot i want to do it if only they would be fair to me i may do it, et cetera, et cetera. his legal team has been unanimously of the view it's a terrible idea. doesn't matter whether you are talking about the early team of ty cobb or john dowd or current legal team nobody thinks this is a good idea. first time the president has acknowledged as much publicly. it should be said though that his legal team, it's an important -- i wouldn't call it a victory but at least a small victory, maybe, that they managed to not answer anything according to them on obstruction by limiting their answers to what happened before he joined the white house. i mean, that's sort of concession from the mueller team. >> bret: mollie? >> we should be reminded that the special counsel was set up to investigate treasonous collusion with russia to steal an election. and so, of course, as soon as that didn't pan out, people tried to change it to object destruction or change it to other things. b

chris wallace pushed him on something else that i think is importance to discuss. he was asked about why he hasn't visited soldiers in a combat zone yet. here's what he said. >> well, i think you will see that happen. there are things that are being planned. we don't want to talk about it because of obviously because of security reasons and everything else. but there are things that are planned. as you know, i was very much opposed to the war in iraq. i think it was a tremendous mistake. >> this is about the soldiers. >> you're right. i don't think anybody has been more with the military than i have as a president, in terms of funding, including the vets. i don't think anyone has done more than me. >> i didn't hear a real answer why he hasn't gone to visit the troops yet. but is it still important that he does, general? >> look, kate. leaders in any organization build trust with their followers by doing and saying certain things. subordinates know when their leaders have their best interests at heart, when leaders show up. when they're there, especially under diffi

yeah, this was a wide-ranging interview by chris wallace on fox news with president trump. topics related to the russia probe came up. the president notably, as you mentioned, saying he probably would not sit down for a one-on-one interview with robert mueller. this comes just months after the president actually said that he was looking forward to such an interview. it appears that the president has been listening to his attorneys, whom sources have told cnn, have informed the president that would be a bad idea. the president also opened up about his acting attorney general matt whitaker, who replaced outgoing attorney general jeff sessions. whitaker in the past has made statements very critical of the russia probe, at one point even suggesting it could be stifled by cutting off its funding. the president in this interview said that he didn't know that matt whitaker held these strong positions in the past. he also said that he would not intervene if whitaker decided to interfere in the special counsel's probe. listen to this. >> if whitaker decides in any way to limit or cu

fox news' chris wallace asked the president if he would allow whitaker to limit the mueller probe. >> if whitaker decides to limit or curtail the mueller investigation, are you okay with that? >> it is going to be up to him. i think he is very well aware politically. i think he's astute politically. he is a very smart person. a very respected person. he's going to do what's right. >> in the weeks since the president forced jeff sessions to resign as attorney general, democrats called for whitaker to recuse himself from oversight of the russia probe given his past criticisms of the investigation. the president said he was unaware of the criticism. although he agrees with whitaker. >> there is no collusion. he says you can stop the investigation. >> what do you do when a person's right? there is no collusion. he said it. if he said there is collusion, i'm supposed to be taking somebody there is? i wouldn't be taking them for two reasons. the number one reason is the fact that he would be wrong. >> the president backing off earlier claims he wants to sit down with mueller for an intervie

here's what he told chris wallace yesterday. >> the questions were asked and answered. it wasn't a big deal. they make it like i had meetings for many, many hours. i got the questions. i responded. we wrote them out. i read them once. i read them a second time. we made some changes. that's it. very simple. >> reporter: the president is also continuing to put his full support behind his int interimattorney general matt whitaker. the president doesn't seem in any hurry to replace him and find a permanent successor to jeff sessions. whitaker can stay in that position for at least 200 days.

he reiterated that when chris wallace tried to ask him. he kept interrupting him and saying we won the senate. we kept the senate. in the white house, that was the priority. more of their agenda can get done with the senate. they can still get cabinet member replacements confirmed. they need the senate for things like trade and so on. the house is less important and, of course, as long as they kept one of the houses of congress they couldn't face things like impeachment and removal. the senate was key to hold but the president obviously has been in denial about what it means to have lost the house of democrats. >> i was at the rally and he made this comment about, i'm on the ballot. i'm on the ballot. i've done such a great job. >> a vote for so and so is a vote for me. >> he effectively said, if i win it will be thanks to all of these rallies. and if i lose, it's on you and pointed at the crowd. basically it's your fault. the voters' fault for not turning out. the house thing is important. clearly the adam schiff is getting under his skin

i want you to take a listen to what he told fox news sunday anchor chris wallace yesterday.take a listen to this. i want to get your reaction. >> what about the argument that it's climate change, that it's drier, it's hotter and that that's contributing to it? >> maybe it contributes a little bit. the big problem we have is management. gillian: okay, so let's unpack that. the president admitting that perhaps climate change is not a hoax. >> well, climate change is very, very real. you don't have to look beyond california to learn that. it's drier, it's hotter, the fire season is not nine months of the year, it's 12 months of the year. all of southern california now, as it moves north into northern california, it's all the time. we get heavy rains, yes. they're short-lived. vegetation grows fast and then it dries out very, very fast because it's hotter and drier. you just heard about the hot, dry north winds. climate change is a very real part of that problem. no doubt about it, but also it's the management, the forests have not been properly managed for the last 70 years. we

there's no obstruction he said to chris wallace as chris was trying to get him to say something real. >> jay, what do you make of the president downplaying this whole q&a process of mueller. he calls it simple, it's not a big deal. what is your read on how he's handling this whole thing? >> it's another way for crump to say move along here, nothing to see, this is all totally fine. there's no obstruction, no problems with breaking the law. this is really just not a big deal. that's the way he's categorizing it. and then he says it's a massive witch-hunt when in reality it's not a big deal kind of thing. obviously we have to wait to see what the report says, but there's been a lot of people who've been indicted. and so clearly it is a big deal and clearly i think there's concerns by the president. look at his tweets this week. this could have very significant-reaching implications for people very, very close to him. so maybe it's not a big deal for the president, but it's a big deal for potentially his son, his son-in-law, and certainly a lot of his former staffers who have already ple

listen to the president in this interview with chris wallace saying this will be fine. >> if whitaker decides in any way to limit or curtail the mueller investigation, are you okay with this? >> it's going to be up to him. i think he is very well aware politically. he is astute politically. he's a very smart person. a very respected person. he's going to do what's right. >> how do you read that in the age of trump. he's going to make the call. he's smart, he's astute and he will do the right thing or do you view through the history of what this president put on the record. donald trump appointed him and bypassed the process of elevating rod rosenstein and the president made crystal clear that in his view, the attorney general is supposed to be loyal and what is right when it comes to the mueller investigation? >> he is putting matt whitaker in the position where he is smart and astute and i will not get involve and overrule anything he does here. if matt whitaker tries to limit the probe and faces criticism and backlash and consequences for that, he said i left it up to him and i didn
