the donald trump unprecedented? have you ever seen anything like this? are we overreacting?dented. we have seen various elements of demagogues, of people who have wanted to blow up the conventions, who've done the wrong thing, who valued fear over hope which is what this president is about. but to treat him as if he is a unique creature is almost to give him superpowers that we shouldn't encow him with. >> trevor: that's an interesting point. do you think, though, that maybe it's not that we're giving him superpowers, he lives in an age where he has superpowers. some of dew points you talk about in the book and some leaders like mccarthy for instance who was a senator we see similar traits to trump but they didn't have twitter, they didn't have mediums that helped them connect with as many people. >> if you hadn't been used to a printing press or radio or television, hey, it's the information superhighway, the paper is coming. >> trevor: right. >> more than 140 characters. we had a president in andrew johnson during reconstruction who opposed the 14th and 15th amendments, ve

the white house got cold feet after the dramatic change in tone from north korea and donald trump said the unprecedentedould be delayed. i don't want to waste a lot of time, and i don't think he wants to, so there is a substantial chance it won't work, but it doesn't mean it won't work out over a period of time. but it might not work out forjune 12, but there's a good chance we will have the meeting. it had seemed like a virtual lock, the date, june 12, the location, singapore, the agenda? that is the tricky part. america wants north korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons and kim jong—un had talked about denuclearisation while laying on the charm until last week when they lost patience with us demands and threatened to cancel the summit. mr trump suspects that the chinese president had a hand in the about—face. that was after a recent visit to beijing. president xi is a world—class poker player and maybe doing the same thing i might do, but there was a somewhat different attitude after that meeting so i can't say that i'm happy about it. moonjae—in was very happy about the possibility of peace and hoped

after engineering the company's demise donald trump pledged to help showing an unprecedented concern for chinese jobs. unsurprisingly the chinese government was swift to voice its approval saying it thought quote highly of the development that left u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross with the tricky task of explaining the u. turn. c t i did do some inappropriate things they've admitted to the question is there alternative remedies to the one that we had originally put forward and that's the area we will be exploring very very promptly the inappropriate things he's referring to relate to z t e illegally shipping us parts to iran and north korea critics say trumps new softer stance towards china is in comprehensible and will hurt u.s. business and my worry after this thing is china or for a some small term palea to say ok we'll buy your products. and we won't be tough on them stealing intellectual property and then insisting that we may sing for the moves that it will provide leverage in upcoming bilateral trade talks the wall street journal reports that china could scrap plans to impo

to do that today because deputy attorney general rod rosenstein did not resign when donald trump made the unprecedentedat the justice department conduct an investigation, quote, into whether or not the fbi/doj infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes. instead of resigning, rod rosenstein handed off the trump tweet to the justice department's inspector general for a routine low-level investigation. so rod rosenstein did not resign over the principle of keeping the justice department independent of the political influences of the white house, and the president did not fire rod rosenstein for refusing to obey his demand because rod rosenstein sort of obeyed his demand. and so instead of announcing the appointment of a new deputy attorney general today, donald trump was asked if he has confidence in rod rosenstein. >> do you have confidence in rod rosenstein? >> what's your next question, please? >> you don't have to be an expert in trump speak to realize what the answer was to that question. and so the president stated very clearly right there that he does not have confidence in

and set the stage for a possible summit between the leader kim jong un and donald trump which would be a historic and unprecedented meeting before it's mean a sitting u.s. president and north korean leader and the question there is also how they would view the united states decision to withdraw from a previously agreed multilateral nuclear agreement countries around the world are going to be looking at this moment and seeing that the united states is not necessarily good for its words in two thousand and eighteen for an agreement that it signed back in two thousand and fifteen and it's going to be a question of whether this is going to affect efforts to achieve denuclearization on the korean peninsula all right so that a point there mr connor as you were just getting a report from iran that iran is now saying that it wants to keep the deal now that goes against everything that we've been hearing up until today. if this is the case does that then string to the position of the europeans. i would wait a little while because i mean the the deal is contested very cool hardly in iran itself between hardliners and those

south korea's president arriving in the united states to meet with president donald trump three weeks before the unprecedented u.s. north korean summit is supposed to take place and singapore president mungy ends white house visit was originally arranged as a meeting to fine tune a joint strategy for dealing with north korean leader kim jong un instead it has become a crisis session after pyongyang threatened to pull out of this planned summit last week. now meanwhile earlier this month north korea announced that it would dismantle its nuclear test site at point you very scheduled for this week foreign journalists will be invited to journey deep inside the mountain to observe the closing and a moment we'll go live to our correspondent in seoul but first let's take a closer look at this nuclear facility. in a notoriously secretive country this is one of its most secret sites north korea's main nuclear research facility is hidden away in a system of tunnels several hundred meters underground. situated in the north east of the country sixty kilometers from the chinese border the site has been central to kim jong

a meeting between donald trump and kim jong-un would be unprecedented. no party wants to be sidelined. >> this week marks one year since macron's election to the top job. in the beginning, he was compared to barack obama for his ability to inspire votes. so what happened to macron's communication campaign and how is he using media to reach people once again? solemn but composed. macron works alone for a few important been its with a video shown on may 17, changing public impression, a man who stepppped into thehe shoes of france''s president.t. it won't be e easy everery da i knowow that. the path will be difficult. i will always be honest with you. >> three months after his election, the popularity ratings are even lower than president hollande. he's decided to occupy the media. to an expert in political communication, the president's message had become in audible to france. >> the president needed to regain the space to reach the people. now, he does it with a lot more urgency and he does try to's week to everyone. the rich french and support french. p

this, where so much that has been happening in the last year and a half since donald trump became president it's unprecedented in a way for a president to behave this way, but it's also consistent with what we saw during the campaign. so you were hoping for the best when he got elected. i'm wondering, if you really think it would be any different than it was during the campaign? >> no, i didn't have particularly high expectations, to be perfectly honest. although i was hoping that he would make some good hires. on the national security front i thought he did make good hires early in his administration. i thought v.a. secretary shulkin and others, mcmaster, tillerson, et cetera, all good people. but the chaos that we saw during the campaign, that frenetic nature of it and all the controversy carried on in to the administration. and i guess nobody should have been advised by it based on what we saw. >> is there an area, though, where he has pleasantly surprised you? >> yeah. look, i think the president -- i believe the president is moving on the right track on a lot of the deregulatory front. i thought the tax

donate to donald trump and the rnc have been railing against people who take advantage of government handouts. this former political strategist noticed on "the beat" this kind of money is unprecedentedmocracy. >> donald trump has monetized the white house. he has made $1.2 million from political groups who have rented trump properties over the last year. the previous record was $100,000 in terms of political groups. >> before he took office, trump left impression he was going to step away from all these businesses. >> my two sons who are right here, don and eric, are going to be running the company. they are going to be running it in a very professional manner. they're not going to discuss it with me. >> they're not going to discuss it with him. but it is donald trump who personally benefits from the trump organization profits which is why he seemed so intent on selling doral. this is also bigger than doral. however many acres ivanka told us it was, this is a microcosm of the trump business nexus. he lost a lawsuit for refusing to pay contractors and fighting to get out of paying doral property and pleemt taxes, government tax, and doral was also the place where donald trump asked f

unprecedented here? >> no, look, i agree with everything donald trump just said there. if there's evidence, and you said last night there is no evidence. we'll find out about that. if there is no evidence that the fbi was investigating his campaign, then this is much bigger scandal than the russia investigation. because it suggestess ths that got a justice department of one administration and one party that's interfering in an election, so i think it's more serious than russia. >> those are pretty big ifs. if all that happened thit woulde a big deal. we're going to have the inspector general look into it. fine. the second ask this week have the intelligence committee turn over sensitive material to republicans in congress is pretty worrisome. i don't understand how you don't invite the democrats to also get that information. since we have someone that specializes in this kind of law, what happens if that information leaks? what's the exposure? i don't think for a second that's not going to get out. >> let me remind everyone that amanda is republican. >> yes. >> i think

donald trump made it clear he doesn't like this deal. it's unprecedented in modern history. eric: the secretary of state would say he's not doing this to the detriment of the united states. he's trying to help the united states because he believes the nuclear agreement helps secure our security. >> he can convey that point of view in public, but to meet privately with the iranian foreign minister to under mine it is part of this broader policy resisting and trying to overturn the outcome of the 2016 elections. it's a flawed deal. we are trying to take a different approach, and i think u.s. will. >> the boston globe reports the former secretary of state met with him twice. the guy is smooth as silk. went to san francisco state university. you don't think birth would melt in his mouth. is this collusion? >> it is. the logan act was passed with the aliens and sedition act it was signed by john adams. the logan act was used to start the phoney case against mike flynn. eric: we don't know if it's phoney yet. there are charges and allegations. go ahead. >> if this law can be used

president donald trump in the eyes of most european leaders north korea may be doing to the u.s. what the u.s. has just done to europe trigger an unprecedented crisis last week trump withdrew the united states from the iran nuclear deal ignoring all appeals from european leaders not to go that far now determination mixed with damage control the e.u. leaders rather struggle to keep the iran's agreement alive without sacrificing their own economic prosperity tonight their meeting in sofia bulgaria our very own barbara visa lives with them and she's wondering just how low europe's relations with the u.s. . it's the question really what's been the rock bottom is this something like deep dungeons or complete and forever deep frozen it really is a very bad atmosphere and we have to consider that donald trump makes the rounds of e.u. leaders before summits like this he talks to some in person to others on the telephone so when he talks like this it means the mood is like that he moves largely what leaders have been telling him and everybody is really angry particularly the french president. who feels like an animal dragged through the arena in wash

political impact so to the medium of the internet which is very unprecedented and that newness is that what we're seeing when we heard donald trump on the one hand say we love we keep leaks and on the other hand his secretary of state now mike bombo used to run the cia saying that julian a son has makes common cause with dictators and wiki leaks is a hostile intelligence service absolutely i see you know it just as the you have a good emberg invention of the printing press in the fifteenth century and how leads to the explosion the information so to out europe at that time and they've created the huge political and social ramifications and in the same way i see joining us either not only accidental journalist or the publisher but also our innovator who actually you know baited the new format with john that isn't and give it to the rest of the humanity so i think that you know we and any time that a new idea or invention our technology come about in into our society we don't know you know these really have disrupted the impact and then we can exert any this threat that the media landscape but i think it's also started to open soci

a sense that you know in spite of everything else donald trump is having some foreign policy and diplomatic successes. well it certainly unprecedented by i think the sense is that it's still far too early to actually call this a success because aside from these prisoners who we've seen released it should be said that this is not the first time that north korea has been released american captives it tends to happen every time a high ranking u.s. official goes to north korea to petition their release however it is the first time we could see such a face to face meeting and if trump is able to walk away from that meeting with any sort of progress that would be remarkable however we won't know until we actually see what comes out of it ok so it's pretty much a holding pattern right now we're getting some live pictures there of the president then. andrews there is still awaiting pattern in terms of and analysis a final analysis of of where this is all headed diplomatically we're going to have to wait for that some of the as you say is coming up in singapore seems to be that that is the likely location we're going to see there do we know

parties, the league and five-star movement, which, by the way, would have been unprecedented anyway >> bernie sanders and donald trumpg together as a coalition as described >> what was going to happen was that was going to be the coalition, but there were a few other moderating people joining that government too. the fear that has spiked over the weekend and elevated the selloff seen in italian bonds now we have actual elections, and those two might do better and well enough they are on their own in a a majority position together. >> italy has a figure head president appointed by parliament, an elder statesman, i don't like the finance minister, too much, sorry, this can't happen >> exactly >> that's the fallout. >> crude as you framed it, and that's framed as the establishment, the president pushing back against the pop w populist vote. why u.s. equities selling sharply? safe haven bonds around the world, but particularly germany, bought instead - >> german 10-year yield is almost negative, and we're about 2 partnersh 2.75 >> in a month, it was positive to where it is nowanthat raises the question whether the ecb, m

donald trump has obstructed justice with respect to this. i think rod rosenstein is playing this very carefully. i think he understands what's at steak. i think we all can agree this is unprecedented in terms of how all this has played out today. >> now that he might possibly be a witness for mueller, can he still do his job? >> what this tells me is that donald trump for anyone else is going to be charged with obstruction of justice, because if rod rosenstein is as much of a witness to the firing of jim comey as the mccabe memos now indicate that he was, there's no way that he can be involved in making a charging decision to indict someone based on an investigation in which he's a witness. so reading tea leaves here, i think what this is an indication of is -- and the reason he has not recused himself yet, is because they're not at the point, at a minimum, where they're making a charging decision, and i think it's unlikely that they will actually indict anyone on the obstruction charge because otherwise rosenstein would have to recuse hi hymn. >> we have to turn to avenatti. this is involving has been president, michael cohen and current adult actress, stormy daniels. her attorne

administration decided there was no reason donald trump shouldn't become the first president ever to meet with the korean dictator. but now that totally unprecedented meeting next month may be off. both south korea and the white house appear to have been caught completely flat-footed by the surprise announcement from the north. no matter how you feel about the prospect of donald trump talking to the north korean dictator and calling him honorable and complimenting him for how excellently he treats american prisoners in north korea, no matter how you feel about all that, surprise is not a feeling anybody looks forward to when it comes to anything having to do with north korea and nuclear weapons. we are still watching that story develop. the north and south korea summit tomorrow is definitely off. it looks like the u.s./north korea summit next month is basically on ice. we'll let you know more if we learn more over the course of this hour. >>> in federal court in washington this afternoon, trump campaign chairman paul manafort was dealt a big setback. his lawyers had once again sought to have the multiple felony charges pending against him thrown ou
