back with our jason johnson, david drucker, david gregory. congressman lewis said he doesn't feel the trump presidency is legitimate. the way trump responded all talk no action. those who defended him say he was referring to now in his district he was not referring to 1965 in selma when the congressman was nearly beaten to death standing up for all of our rights, civil rights, voting rights. should the president elect have taken the high road? >> i think it was grossly unprofessional on the part of the president elect. number one, people are going to insult you, you are the president, it's going to happen. you need to show some restraint and discipline. >> this is a little more than an insult, though. >> for someone to question your legitimacy, the same thing happened to obama, the same thing happened to george bush. you stand above you and you say, look, come work with me and i am above this criticism. the second issue is this, for him to attract the district -- the fifth district includes the cnn headquarters in atlanta. >> and coca-cola. >

how would that work, david drucker? >> donald trump talked about this during the campaign, and they talked about monitoring remittances that come from mexican immigrants, legal and illegal, in the united states that are sent back to mexico. >> how would they know who is sending them? >> that's a very good question. when you walk into a western union or any other place where you're going to wire money, i think the question is, number one, do you want a government in a sense architecture, big brother sense moving money? we already have laws guarding against money laundering and other financial crimes, but do we want this? and the place where the remittance is going to be sent, how do they decide who to question? if i walk in there, are they going to question me? if they question everybody, at least it's consistent. and what form of identification are they going to ask for? in other words, are they going to say, show us your papers? which is something in the united states, even when we've had issues like this, one of the r

we have the senior correspondent for the washington examiners david drucker. political analyst, david gregory, "washington post" reporter abby phillips. cnn contributor and reporter for the washington examiner, celina vi vi vitto. this is a rorschach test. saying no can match the fight of america. we were listening far back from the crowd we could hear it erupting and people clapping and responding to that, david? what do you think. >> i thought it was populist to the core. as we see with presidents and other elected people in office you get what you see on the campaign trail. i think he made it clear there is no pivot forthcoming every. what you're getting with the speech half of the country liking what they hear. a lot of dark intonations are going to rub people including republicans. you're going to hear what trump said there's a market for what trump said. a lot of people feel left behind. they want the country to start looking out for him. i think trump's approach was not to try to heal wounds per se, but to say i'm going to get the job done. in doing that

david drucker, pulling out of the tpp membership, sounds good, delivers on a campaign promise, saying i'll cut regulation by 75%. sounds good. delivers on a campaign promise. both will come under a heavy scrutiny for what they mean for the economy. >> trump will be judged on his actions and not just his promises or his occasional questioning of legitimate reporting and if trump is right, then he will reap the rewards. there are challenges into pulling out of the tpp, even though it's very unpopular in the united states, on both sides of aisle, it cedes the asia pacific to china. you have a bunch of nations that are in the sphere of united states who are now looking at china. it's a challenge. regulations-wise, this is more of a sort of a right-left argue --ment, on the one hand it can help job growth and job creation because businesses look at this simply as a bottom line issue and if it costs less to produce in the united states because they are not being taxed and regulated as much, they are more inclined to invest, to grow jobs, and that can be very good for the economy and so that

we have author of how's your faith, david gregory, senior congressional correspondent david drucker and matt lewis. great to have all of you here. matt, i'll start with you since you are here with me. cory booker is about to make history in that he is going to testify against a colleague because he does not want senator sessions to become attorney general. here is house senator -- how senator booker describes the problems, listen to this. >> please understand these are extraordinary times. we've seen senator jeff sessions voting against everything from the matthew shepherd act or speaking around ideals around the voting rights act. taking measures to try to block criminal justice reform. he has a posture and positioning that i think represent a real danger to our country and even nations. >> so matt, how is that going to go? >> we've been hearing a long time the wringing of the hands how the senators used to get along and there used to be bipartisan compromise and cooperation. this is an example of democrats actually getting away from that. you know, part of the reason that things are g

parliament is standing by as is washington abouter columnist david drucker. first, white house correspondent don roberts who was given the opportunity to ask the president and prime minister a question. >> i had the opportunity, fox is pooled today, as it's called, to be in the oval office when the on two of them first met. can i tell you, the body language between two of them seemed warm, friendly. it's clear that teresa may is looking for a friend in president trump, a couple of years from now the u.k. will be standing on its own. it needs a strong bilateral relationship with the united states. needs strong bilateral trade agreements as well. two of them were standing on either sooifd of the bust of winston churchill, president trump saying it's an honor to have winston churchill back in the oval office. teresa may saying it was an honor to be in the oval office. only point of concern is what the future of nato is. president trump made no secret of saying on the campaign trail that he's concerned about the fact that the united states seems to be pulling mor

i think that's worrying people from across six continents. >> david drucker, to robin's point he also that interview in the times of london, he also said nato is obsolete. he put angela merkel and vladimir putin on equal sort of footing when it comes to who he would trust most. he seems to be -- to put it lightly, you know, in favor of clearly a new world order of sorts even justin trudeau spoke out against him. let's listen to that. >> there are things that we hold dear that the americans haven't prioritized. and i'm never going to shy away from standing up for what i believe in, whether it's proclaiming loudly to the world that i am a feminist, whether it's understanding that immigration is a source of strength for us and muslim canadians are an essential part of the success of our country today and into the future. >> this as mexico over the weekend said if you do what you want with the 35% tariff you will send this world into a global recession. what is this new world order, then, david? >> i think we're trying to figure it out. i mean, look, i think that the difference between pr

. >> david drucker. gregory's analysis applies to everything. that's part of the problem. you want quick wins out of the box. how long did it take george h.w. bush to negotiate nafta in the first place. what do you think the state of play is within his own party about how quickly and how extremely he can renegotiate. >> it's very interesting obviously that donald trump is having different ideas on trade in the rest of the world as do most members of his own party in capitol hill and what they're trying to do is come up with policies that could give him what he wants. that's what this is going to be in the public tax reform plan. it's a way to say here's how you can renegotiate our relationship with other countries and create a more favorable environment for american manufacturers without actually going forward with tariffs and getting involved in those fights and i think that's what republicans are intent on doing. finding a way to give trump what he wants without really giving him what he wants because there's a huge concern on the right outside of trump's circles that yo

congressional correspondent for the washington examiner and host of the podcast examining politics david drucker. let me start with you. so let me just pull up for people so we condense some of the problems we're seeing with mr. trump's nominees so this is just a hand full. there are more but betty devos. there's concerns about her knowledge particularly as it relates to public education. hhs secretary, congressman price he helped push a bill of a company and would have aided a company he bought stock any believe more than once this has happened and b, failed to pay payroll taxes and then of course rex tillerson has links to russia. attorney general session people accused him of racism in the past. are any of these things going to be tripping up the nominees? are any of them not going to be confi confirmed? >> it's hard to say with certainly. i don't see anything fatal politically to them getting a job. democrats are making it clear, two points that they're going to pick their big battles. obviously russia being one. the future of obamacare will be another where they're going to dig in and say t

david drucker, thank you very much. >>> one of president trump's core promises was to build a wall ater with mexico. but some texans say that will not work. why would they say that? we talk to them next. thanks for loading, sweetie. ...oh, baked-on alfredo? ...gotta rinse that. nope. no way. nada. really? dish issues? throw it all in. cascade platinum powers through... your toughest stuck-on food. nice. cascade. >>> time for the five things to know for your new day. president trump repeating his false claim that voter fraud cost him the popular vote. that was in a meet with top congressional leaders. >>> phone calls between mike flynn and a russian ambassador under scrutiny. u.s. investigators looking at not only why the calls were made last month but also what was said. >>> more confirmation hearings begin in about an hour. president trump's pick for secretary of state rex tillerson is up for a full vote next week. mike pompeo was sworn in as cia director after being confirmed. >>> did you see this? minnesota governor mark dayton said to be okay after this fainting spell during the s

let's bring in david drucker, senior political correspondence at the washington xaer. -- examiner. we watch this and it has the feel of something new beginning. i don't think we know exactly what to expect. i don't think all the people in that chamber know exactly what to expect either. what do you think the mood and the sin timent is there today? >> well, look, i think if you're a democrat today you are a little frustrated and trying to figure out how to find your way back. you hope that the republicans and donald trump make the same mistakes that president obama and democrats made back in 2009 and 2010 when they overreached, misread their mandate and focused on healthcare when everybody wanted them to focus on jobs. at least most americans. i think if you are republican, this is the problem you want. the pressure that you can pass multiple priorities but you know you can't do everything, you know that politics, the way our system is designed, things aren't easy, you can't do everything but can you do a lot and the voters expect a lot of you. but you'd rather be in this position t
