daniel lippman is co—author of the us daily newsletter politico playbook and joins us via webcam.hanks forjoining us. what has been the reaction they are to the speech? generally, it was pretty good. this was not a doom and gloom speech that characterised his inauguration speech when he talked about american carnage. in the congress, democrats applauded him on multiple occasions. the issue is as long as he has those types of speeches, everything goes well. but when he gets back to the white house and gets back to his fallen, he tweets lots of things that stalks controversies. he has a good night one night, but most of his presidency has not been marked

jane: daniel lippman, thank you very much for joining me. daniel: price for having me. -- thanks for having me. jane: as we mentioned, this high political drama comes on the eve of president trump marking one year in office. the state of pennsylvania was key to that victory, and one year on, laura trevelyan is in pittsburgh. are they worried about it as they are here? laura: they are watching it with some amusement. political dysfunction is alive and well, as it has been for some time. this is a state that president trump won by less than 1%, and he did by connecting with blue-collar voters. about theirxious jobs, societal change. donald trump's message of "america first" connected. almost a year after he delivered that in article -- that inaugural address and promised that the american carnage would stop right here, right now, i talked to supporters about whether he has delivered on his promises. in western pennsylvania, the birthplace of u.s. steel. this factory was once owned by the 19th-century magnate andrew carnegie. in its heyday it em

. >> let's continue to talk about the government shutdown joining from us washington, daniel lippman,ter of the politico playbook. daniel, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> thanks for joining us what's your latest take for the likelihood that this gets cleared up in day three. and an important vote in the senate around lunchtime? >> yeah, i don't think anyone in washington is certain about what's going to happen at noon once senators wake up, there's going fob more negotiating between democrats and republicans. i think senate democrats are really worried if they make a deal with mcconnell about bringing up immigration to save those 800,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers, that's no guarantee that speaker paul ryan will do the same and it's hard for him to promise anything because his own base, you know, the gon serve tiff republicans that have elected ryan, they don't want to go along with any deal that that they are not part of making. and they had president donald trump to tell house republicans we have to settle this or else the government will stay shut down for weeks >> that's actually a ve

become with us, daniel lippman.bout reaching a bipartisan deal when it comes to immigration. we have a march dead line of scrimmage. the white house putting out the proposal which the president drove home last night that the far right not necessarily agreeing with spryiupplying a p to citizenship. the left thinking the president is holding the daca recipients hostage. what is the likelihood that we could reach a bipartisan agreement by the march deadline? >> i would caution you that it is not a strict march deadline as it used to be because of a court ruling that said that trump's reskricinding of daca w illegal. those d.r.e.a.m.ers would stay in the country indefinitely until the supreme court weighs in. we did see a glimmer of hope last night because dick durbin has been negotiating this compromise which has taken a long time to get past both the republican and democratic negotiators. he sat near the entrance to the president and he shook his hand, hoping to build on some good will he has created with the presiden

let's stay with that story now, and joining me now live from washington is daniel lippman, a reporterou again. you know, this is a presidency where we have had to get used to be leaving 15 incredible things before brea kfast, leaving 15 incredible things before breakfast, where the most outrageous things become a bit ho—hum. where does all this rank in all that, do you think? i think this is the biggest split between a presidential adviser and his boss in american history, in modern american history. you never see history, in modern american history. you never see someone history, in modern american history. you never see someone so history, in modern american history. you never see someone so viciously attacked by both that person and the president, for someone to say that the president's sun, oh and son, committed treason is shocking in washington. how much credibility should we give it? you know as a journalist we are always told you have to be wary of anything that tells you what you quite like to believe, that confirms your prejudices. and this book is allegedly based on a series

earlier i spoke to politico reporter daniel lippman, who gave his reaction to the trump—bannon feud.al adviser and his boss in american history — in modern american history. you never see someone so viciously attacked by both that person and the president. for someone to say that the president's son, own son, committed treason is shocking in washington. how much credibility should we give it? you know, as a journalist, we're always told you have to be wary of anything that tells you what you'd quite like to believe, that confirms your prejudices. and this book is allegedly based on a series of interviews with a series of people who have been known to tell quite a lot of untruths. so, even if it is an accurate transcript of interviews, we would still have to be quite wary, wouldn't we, of what the book says? we would, but this past year of trump in office has seen so much leaking to journalists in washington that this is almost nothing new. although the revelations are amazing, to hearformer aides to trump say that he is like a child, he's dumb, he is barely or semi—literate, is prett

. >>> so we have 34re7b9s hav hav discuss, here do that, daniel lippman and page pate. we just heard senator mark warner there. do you think the democrats have a legitimate chance of passing legislation to protect mueller? >> i think there is a lot of support, people were really shaken by what they heard in that "new york times" report that caitlin collins mentioned. and it will just be really curious to see whether or not if they will -- again they need republican surpt and there is a lot of republicans i think also who do not want to see the special counsel fired. >> so the real question here is do you think republicans will go along with that? >> i think that that remains to be seen. i think that there is definitely -- you hear republicans up on capitol hill saying, you know, we don't want to see this happen. a lot of republicans saying they don't think the president would make that step. so i think that obviously it would set a very bad precedent if the president were to take that step. so i think there is a chance that republicans could go along with this idea, yes

we can speak to daniel lippman — he's a reporterfrom politico and is based in washington. striking? steve bannon calling donald junior's meetings with the russians treasonous is pretty unprecedented because he was ceo of the campaign and was architect of the campaign and was architect of the nationalist policies that tromp one on. it is very unprecedented to see one on. it is very unprecedented to see steve bannon of crimes and sate donald trump jr and jared kushner probably spoke with donald trump himself even though he has said he knows nothing about the matter. how do you think that feeds into the wider investigation about allegations of collusion with the russians and the tromp campaign? is that going to be significant?” think it means that steve bannon is setting the stage forgetting opinion it and showing that he knows this was wrong to meet with the russians because mueller will come out with his report later this year and reveal other thing he has found. steve bannon wants to be on the knights edifice of history and a lot of democrats are plodding steve bannon priv
