office after losing his bid for re-election because of how incompetent he was as president, that donald john trumpddling those same pro-russia talking points. talking points so perfectly aligned with the kremlin, it's almost as if he was still receiving them from moscow. russia helped get donald trump elected in 2016. according to the mueller report. by exploiting american social and racial divisions and amplifying them online. and by stealing hillary clinton's emails and exploiting the news media's voracious interest in them, and former kgb spy vladimir putin who has been dictator of russia in one way or another for nearly 25 years is getting bolder and more blatant in his determination to subordinate the united states to him. to rebuild the soviet union by annexing ukraine, which he lectured another american idiot, tucker carlson, belongs to russia, and by openly jailing and killing his opposition with impunity. the latest victim being alexei navalny. while trump leads one of our two major political parties with his fellow republicans parroting russian talking points to the point where it's almo

john. rashida tlaib is urge michigan voters to vote uncommitted, and some may be hoping for another option in 2024. donald trump and nikki haley are both holding rallies as haley claims trump is more focused on the courtroom than the campaign. >> john: fox team covering now, jonathan turley on trump's legal troubles, alexandria hoff, but first, mark meredith live at the white house. has the president responded to tlaib's political punch yet? >> no, but it could reignite the debate whether or not the president can or should be the democratic party standard bearer. he kept his comments focused on foreign policy but is the issue of foreign policy, specifically u.s. support for israel, that has congresswoman tlaib, a palestinian american, making this plea for the party to abandon biden. >> right now we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government. if you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted. >> a poll taken shows 20% of registered voters believe the president will be replaced as the nominee. 27% say not at all likely so voters are split here. plenty of high profile support in his

donald john trump essentially saying, i don't have the cash, i've claimed to have suggesting and in new york appeals court filing, he doesn't have the cash to pay his $454 million civil fraud judgment and can't get anyone to lend him the full amount offering instead, to put up $100 million bond and warning what would happen if he has to pay more, quoting now from his filing quote, in the absence of a stay on the terms here in outlined properties would likely need to be sold to raise capital under exigence circumstances, exigent circumstances. in other words, or a fire sale, the appeals judge quickly said no deal to any delay in collecting the full amount did put another part of the judgment, though on hold. that was the provision barring trump from dealing with new york banks in any case, it is a big come down certainly for the man who never refused to chance, including under oath, to say how much money he had believed that we have substantially in excess of 400 million cash, which is a lot for a developer. now, here's the goodness. >> i'm very rich. i started off with $1,000,000 loan.

donald trump is dangerous? republicans say joe biden is old. is that a race the democrats would be confident about? >> that was the weakest if i've ever heard you use, john. there's no need for the words if. this is joe biden versus donald trump, point-blank period. so yes. i think democrats -- i mean, we are proverbial bedwetters, right? any time anybody says anything harsh about the president or he says something, we just wring our hands. we cloutch our pearls and just o absolutely nuts. our candidate is the president of the united states. he's hold. he's 80. but this 80-year-old man has accomplished more than any other grandfather in the history of the united states of america. he's actually performed the task well. he's gotten bipartisan legislation through, and the alternative is somebody who's dangerous. let's embrace who what it is. i don't know why the white house is afraid of it. he's old, but he's better than the alternative, and that alternative is somebody dangerous who has 91 felony counts who oh by the way, who wants to talk about other people's families, but he has five kids by three baby mamas. let's actually have this discussion on the m

chief of staff of donald trump, and the department of homeland security, that donald trump is confirmed in statements that he referred to military service members as losers and suckers. is john kelly going to go on camera and discuss that rather than issue a statement? donald trump has had this -- guard of defenders in conservative media , but the republicans inside the gop coalition who have reservations about his conduct and behavior and inclinations have not been telling their voters, sharing those concerns with their voters in an unvarnished way. >> will donald trump pay a price for this? >> i think it depends, a lot of it is baked in, he already is paying a price. a president in joe biden whose approval rating is stuck at 40% but the two of them are in a dead heat, joe biden runs further ahead of his approval rating than presidents are typically able to do. we saw that in 2022. but the real question is, whether those senior officials in a donald trump administration , like general kelly, bill barr, john bolton, are they going to go out in a more visible way and share their concerns with the public. they believe donald trump is not fit to be president. the question of wh

thune, he is now backing donald trump giving him his endorsement. this is the same john thune who told cnn just last month, the following, i've always been worried about trump's viability as a general election candidate. well, how times change >> this all leaves us where on this monday morning, well, here at least is a delegate math that tells you a little bit of where we are, donald trump now has 110 delegates. nikki haley, 20 delegates. a reminder, a candidate needs 1,215 delegates to lock in the nomination. cnn's alayna treene has more much more math. she's going to do for us from washington this morning. >> oh >> nikki haley says, the math is still not in donald trump's favor, not adding up for donald trump in the long term. she may say that, but what is donald trump in the team around him saying about thinking about this week and what it means for him a look at the math. is there for donald trump and his campaign's still is very confident, but by mid-march, they will >> have the necessary delegates. that 1,215 number that you shared kate, to declare him the presumpt

donald. john trump do solemnly swear to quick. she didn't explain you, but then, you know, if she's skied, got the wishing there was something you might done. i mean, is the company that temple fits those yet, but you don't use enough of us president trump and russian president pretends to seem to have sympathy for each other. and yet with trump obviously trusting content, media, the condition of the for me, all i can do is ask the question, my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some others. they said they think it's russia. i have a president, bowden. he just said it's not rushing. so i have great confidence in my intelligence people. but i will tell you that pressing a button was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today. and what he did is it a credible offer? the offer to have the people working on the case, come and work with their investigators with respect to the 12 people. i think that's an incredible small chunk. so inclusion, a strong mom, lead to the kinds of leisure he actually aspired to be. a person

i a initiated efforts against donald trump, and they instigated the russia collusion. narrative, john brennan, tags 26 members of donald trump's team as possibly suspicious and the tags them to these 5 eyes intelligence alliance. then from there, the up the i began investigating donald trump and found certain behavior to be suspicious. and it is from that that the russia collusion, narrative was derived and we understand that the details of this are all held in a classified binder. and it's been reported that this binder contains the details of how the russia collusion investigation began. and that donald trump moved to have that binder declassified side. and rumors in washington dc. now tell us uh that this binder has mysteriously disappeared and is no longer available. now. the general communications headquarters of the united kingdom referred to the entire matter as being nonsense, but we can recall how an obsession with a narrative about trump and russia and trump colluding that was wide spread and mainstream media throughout donald trump's 4 year presidential term. let's recall t

this is the way donald trump has been since he attacked john mccain. for joe biden, is that i don't think there's anything that trump is going to say -- we talk about his nato attacks, his attacks on haley's husband. there's nothing he's going to say in this campaign that's going to surprise anybody or dislodge supporters. what's key is for biden to reenforce supporters that he's up to the job. let me just quote doug sosnick, a very smart democratic strategist from "the new york times." i think he nailed it. he said voighters will be given daily reminders for the next nine months for how chaotic the next four years will be if trump is elected. in the end it will be up to biden to convince voters he's up to the challenge into his 80s. >> i don't understand, adrienne, why trump would risk it, go after a person serving overseas. she's out selling we love our military t-shirts. could it backfire on trump, these comments? >> you know, i don't think it's going to backfire with his base. i think mark just nailed it. his base is going to be with him. we know t

let's go to kristen holmes in eagle pass for what we can expect from donald trump today, kristen >> yeah, john, there's a reason he's in eagle pass. this has really become the focal point of the standoff between governor texas governor greg abbott and the biden administration over who can enforce border security. we know that abbott has spent state resources using razor wire on buoys as well as on the side of trains in this area, you can expect donald trump to tour some of the implementations that abbott has put into place. we also expect that abbott is going to join him for part of the day-to-day is also going to meet with national guard. he's going to deliver a series of remarks. they say he's going to answer questions, but we're not sure from whom since reporters will not be with him, it will just be one pool camera. >> but >> we know that donald trump wants to make immigration and has made immigration a key talking point. it's really would help carry him to the white house in 2016 and he's already promised to expand on his white house policies on immigration. these hardline policies that h

john yang. donald trump's decisive victory in yesterday's south carolina primary -- in nikki haley's home statemoved the former president that much closer to the republican nomination. with nearly l of the votes counted, trump leads haley by 20 percentage points. and he's won at least 44 of the state's 50 delegates, bringing his overall total to more than 100. despite the loss, haley told supporters last night that she's not giving up. >> i'm an accountant. i know 40% is not 50%. but i also know 40% is not some tiny group. there are huge numbers of voters in our republican primaries who are saying they want an alternative. john: the next primary is michigan on tuesday -- it's the last major contest before more than a dozen states vote in march with more than a thousand delegates up for grabs. in israel's war with hamas, there are signs of slow progress toward a deal for a cease-fire and release of both israeli hostages and palestinian prisoners. an egyptian offici tells the sociated press that the deal that's emerging from talks in qatar would call for a six-week pause in fighting, increased ai

my 1st guest and i can speak with authority about the presidency of donald trump in his book, the room where it happens, john bolton offers a detailed account of his 17 months as president trump national. c, advisor and 2018 and 19 the full that see was us ambassador to the united nations under george w bush. bush john balls and welcome to the day that we appear to be heading towards the presidential election, re match between trump and joe biden. in the fall, which is a new paperback edition, if you book the room where it happens, you say donald trump is on fits to be president. why? well, he's not confident to handle the job. he didn't know much about it when he came into office in 2017 and he didn't know very much more when he left in 2021. certainly in the national security space. he didn't have a guiding philosophy. he didn't do policy making as we normally understand that term. he didn't appreciate the gravity of the issues that confronted him and he doesn't have any really better idea today. so at a time of increasing international difficulties to say the least, he is exactly the wrong person to becom

donald trump. because you cannot criticize john mccain, a war hero, in the republican party.way with it. so i was completely wrong. susan, we've all been wrong about politics as we've tried to cover donald trump and figure out what the voters are going to do. i got to tell you, this weekend in -- in munich, it was john mccain country, cindy mccain, ambassador cindy mccain, was there, and there was an annual award in munich in john mccain's name. and everyone, all the leaders were there, bipartisan congressional delegations and foreign leader. it was one of the big events on friday night. and in south carolina, of course, nikki haley is running a very distant second now in her home state where she twice won the governorship. mark sanford said tell take a meteor strike for aisle in win in south carolina. do you agree? >> we have a new "usa today" suffolk university poll of south carolina coming out in the morning that shows trump with a 28-point lead over nikki haley. and you talk about the things that trump has said that are controversial, that don't have an impact. you know,

donald trump is elected president. if donald trump is elected president, john barrasso or another very conservative member of the senate republican conference will likely become the leader. if not, someone like john thune or john cornyn, they have a chance. people mentioned steve daines, people have mentioned tom cotton, anybody who has eyes on becoming the senate republican leader is going to throw their hat in the ring right now. >> the senate has been seen as kind of the last, as i said, bulwark toward maga republican-ism, it's been kind of eroding lately. there have been louder voices than the senate gop. obviously the bipartisan immigration deal was an example of that, the fact that ukraine funding was so hard to pass in the first place in that chamber is another example of that. do you see this devolving into what we see in the house, the trump-led conference that is trying to silence or nullify the influence of the few moderates that are left. >> not to sound repetitive to jake, but all of this depends on november. if trump wins, then, yes, you're going to have, you know, it's going to be the apprentice show at

joining me now is donald trump's former national security advisor ambassador john bolton. bout this during the break. i mean, this is been quite a week. you start with trump saying that russia can do whatever they want, as it relates to nato countries. continue with a complete standstill on aid to ukraine, something they desperately need, given the progress russia has made even over the weekend. it ended of course with the death of alexei navalny. and you've sat in a lot of these rooms, many of them. i just wanted to ask you, how does putin, how does he consume what's happening here in the united states? trump's words, or lack of words i should say, in some cases. >> well, i think he sees things moving in his direction. and, he really outdid himself in terms of disinformation a couple of days ago, when a reporter asked what do you think of biden versus trump. and he said, well biden is predictable and so on, implying he was endorsing. >> what did you think of that when you heard that? >> it's a clear disinformation effort. so >> to confuse. people >> to give trump the oppor

vast majority of haley's parts do not like donald trump 75% convincing these folks to vote for donald trump and the general may be an uphill climb especially john, if there's a conviction trump on fit for the presidency, if convicted in south carolina and the exit poll, it was 36% in new hampshire, it was 42% in an iowa state that trump won his widest margin, at least in states nikki haley's on about it was 31%. so the fact is john, there are warning signs for trump going towards a general election. yes, he's doing very well in the primary so far, but come the general, especially if he's convicted of a crime it might get rather dicey rather quickly, but it is a hypothetical but not an impossibility, something to keep an eye on going forward? exactly. right. thank you. thank you, sir. >> sir. all right. haley's >> still in the race. she is giving independence and and others a choice with me now is cnn political commentator and former white house communications director under donald trump. alyssa farah griffin. i'm curious. we just heard from harry about this potential danger in the general so where would those voters go if donald trump, who, whi

very different than what donald trump did his entire -- >> yeah. let me ask bakari and john about this. bakari first. there is reporting out there that the president is frustrated with merrick garland. are you frustrated, as a prominent democrat, a democratic operative, somebody who is obviously very much in the biden camp? are you frustrated with merrick garland? >> not at all. i mean, i think merrick garland has done yeoman's work since he's been there maintaining the independence of the attorney general's office and the department of justice. i can understand joe biden's frustrations, especially when you have someone who talks about whether or not you can remember the death of your child, and when your child passed away. that seems to be a little below the belt. if you want to talk about kristin clark and the doj civil rights department, if you want to talk about many of the efforts this department has made in juscomplete 180 from the justice department that you remember jeff sessions and -- and what's the guy's name who was there for like 12 minutes? i can't recall him.

this is a perfect example of it, like john thune endorsed donald trump this week. i like john thune a lot, but like this is what trump does do a party. >> i mean, once you become an snl and cold open, right? conceptually that you're saying something one way. jim risch got to appear on exactly. so random jury humor relies on shared understanding and knowledge. and so the idea is conceptually, we'd all get the joke. >> i'm more intrigued by how how, and why a story like this actually appears and the timing, because we're heading towards a potential government shutdown, the ukraine funding is still an issue and mcconnell has been stymied by trump's outside efforts to rally the troops in his own direction. so like, what is this about? maybe you can tell me because you've been a congressional reporter and ashley yeah. >> worked on stories like this as a congressional yeah. what is going to pressure being exerted in which direction? >> well, i mean, the question though for me, is it less about the timing of the article? and but it's, it's, it's more about you know, whethe

is for speaker john appease donald trump. this statement from president biden, history will not look kindly on house republicans for their unconstitutional partisanship that targeted and honorable public servant to play petty games. republicans with genuine concerns about the borde should want congress to deliver resources and security. when a trial occurs, you will be able to watch it live on c-span 2. >> since 1979 in partnership with cable, c-span provides complete coverage of congress from the house and senate floors to congressional hearings, party briefings and committee meetings, c-span gives you a front row seat to how issues are decided with no commentary, no interruptions, unfiltered. c-span, your unfiltered view of government. ♪ >> several lawmakers joined the federation of government employees to avoid a government shutdown and they passed an adjustment of income rates act which would give employees a seven point 4% pay increase. they spoke for about ann hour. >> our first guest is here. ♪ >> good morning. brother

what, you know, this disregard for nato though is longstanding with donald trump. john bolton who was his national security adviser and worked with you, of course, said that back in 2018 at a conference -- a nato conference, that trump said that he was going to come out and announce the united states was withdrawing from nato and had to be kind of talked down from it. are you worried that if trump is re-elected it could actually threaten the nato alliance? >> i'm worried about a lot of things if trump is re-elected. that is one of them. you know, first of all, understand that nato is a 75-year success story. this alliance -- keep in mind, russia has never invaded a nato country because russia has typically been very intimidated by this alliance. china is even intimidated by this alliance. so keeping nato strong is important. adding more friends to the fold is important. this is not the time to leave an alliance. this is not time to side with a thug and not side with our friends who stood with us after 9/11. we have to make sure that we stand firm because when we stand f

i have no doubt he's got plans and you can never underestimate john donald trump's capacity for cruelness at the border. i mean, this is the guy who authored family separation. we still have children separated from their parents as a result of that policy. but the reality is these promises, these mass deportations are not going to happen. we do not have the resources, the current legal framework does not allow it, do i anticipate a lot of what isaac reported on mass detention camps, more greater use of the military at the border. absolutely. but listen, again, a lot of this is him just saying what his base wants to hear without the possibility of becoming reality. >> i mean, your article does lay out some pretty scary notions. it does anticipate a lot of things that john just talked about, including this variant aggressive, anti-illegal immigration agenda. what does it entail? >> well, trump and stephen miller have been through this before and they've, they've been frustrated in the first term by the legal challenges and by resistance from officials at the department of homeland security

political issue and to say donald trump of all people is not interested in securing the border when americans can see how it was and how it is now, i don't think it's going to fly. >> johnthe charge is donald trump is interesting in securing the border if he were to be president but as an election year issue, keeping the chaos at the border as it is, benefits him. that's why president biden came out and said i'm going to hammer on trump every day between now and the election and tell the american people every day the reason the border is not secured is because of donald trump and maga republicans. trump put out on truth social, only a fool would vote for the bill, he says it's a great gift for democrats and death wish for the republican party. tim scott, on the short list to be his v.p. candidate came out against this bill yesterday. is there something to the idea donald trump would like to keep the border as it is during an election year, so that he can say i'm the guy to fix it? >> bottom line and the reason why republicans are opposed to the bill, not to mention the problems the democrats have with the bill, they don't believe it will solve the border crisis we are s

donald trump and speaker mike johns are trying to sabotage and say it is dead on arrival before they read the text of it. why? because he wants to run on the crisis at the border. they want to use the border as political. and do not want to solve me problems at the border. you can listen to donald trump who has repeatedly said it. what the house republicans are doing at the direction of donald trump and instead of working with those negotiations to pass bipartisan legislation, no. they are impeaching the secretary for failing to secure the border while he is negotiating legislation to secure the border. if that is not irony, i don't know what is. this is a political stunt. it is a sham impeachment designed to give donald trump a talking point. they do not want to solve problems and create chai os and they put politics over people. and we are here to tell everyone in america we want to address the solutions at the border because we want to secure our homeland and do the work that our american people sent us here to do. thank you. >> there is a term in the south don't confuse me with f

donald trump. it wasn't much of a contest. eight years ago, right? johnich in ohio beat donald trump and won his home state by 11 points. all right? saturday night after spending really close to $15 million, donald trump was a 20-point victor over nikki haley. she won three counties but that was it after 14, $15 million spent. kevin mccarthy with me now. good morning to you. nice to have you on. we had a lot of time to gab on saturday night and there seemed to be this question as to what is nikki haley doing next? we know she is competing in michigan tomorrow. there was some talk whether or not she would be a third party nominee or candidate. grady trimble caught up with her last night in michigan. >> i don't know how more clear i can make this i don't want vice president. i have said multiple times i'm a republican. i'm not running as any other party or independent. and i will continue to say this is not about my political career. this is about the future of america. >> will you ever run as a third party candidate? >> i have said no over and over again.

donald trump. you can safely bet he won't. >> he likely won't. john heilemann, this is a moment where we need to stop and realize that, yes, everybody has been desensitized by the insane ramblings of donald trump through the years. by his crazy actions. this is the time to stop, though. for people to realize, and, my god, i hope people who once supported donald trump will move away from him and realize that this is -- donald trump is not talking about putin and russia invading our european allies. he's not saying that for no reason. he's not talking about how great orban is, a guy who attacks western democracy, and donald trump says, "you know what? i'm going to be a dictator from day one, and america needs a strongman." these ramblings, they're made with a very clear intent. to let voters know what he is going to get after he is president of the united states. after he's the president of the united states and crushes constitutional norms and probably ignores supreme court rulings -- i think that's next -- and just completely trashes the u.s. constitu

donald trump's best issues. this is the ground he wants to be playing on and more and more americans are saying it's the nation's top problem, john. >> and if you're looking at this, anything that could backfire for donald trump on this issue? yeah. i think a lot of democrats say, okay, maybe immigrant voters, voters who are born outside the united states, maybe they would say, hey, maybe there'll be some backlash against the democrats. but take a look here. choice for president among voters born outside the united states, we actually have a dead even race between joe biden and donald trump. this was a group of voters that joe biden did very well with four years ago, but a lot of groups of voters have been changing their minds going from joe biden four years ago to saying the vote for donald trump right now, that is the same case among those voters who are born outside the united states, john, all right, harry enten. thank you very much for that with us now, former republican congressman from michigan fred upton, congressman. thank you so much for being with us. you want congress for a long time, including many times when everyon
