and hugh hewitt, host of the hugh hewitt show right here on msnbc. also a radio host as well.th you. the president has put some folks around him, some folks in the top levels of his administration, in some unusual, at the very least unusual public spots. that question that doyle mcmanus raises about if he's putting them in spots they're not comfortable with and worse should they be thinking about resigning? >> i think it depends on who we talk about, steve. the secretary of state is clearly in some heavy weather right now. if you doe over to the "washington post" at this hour, dan dresdner's a very respected professor at the fletcher school of law and diplomacy. calls tillerson an unmitigated disaster who should resign. that doesn't have anything to do with his comments about the president. it just has to do with the fact the state department is a big heaping mess of disasters after nine months of rex tillerson. if you check on general, now secretary mattis, earlier today, he was asked about disagreeing with the president. he said, "if i said six and the president said half do

i'm hugh hewitt. my guest is antonio villaraigosa, former mayor of los angeles, democratic candidate for governor. there are three big issues, tax, debt and education. right now california just raised its gas tax 12 cents so it's 58.3 cents per gallon of gas. rate on personal income tax, 13.1%. minimum combined state local and county sales tax is 7.5%. the taxes are crushing this state. what are you going to do about that as governor? >> it's a big issue. i think the tax system is broken all the way around. we also have a prop 13 that's not working. in 1978, homeowners were paying 40% of the rate and corporate was paying 60% of the rate. now it's turned around. what i've said, if we're going to fix the tax system, we can't pick and choose. one group would like to fix the upper income tax, and the other group the property tax. i think we need to fix the whole thing. california forward think long have looked at that and said we're going to have to address that whole big issue. i can't tell you that anyb

here's what hugh hewitt was told this morning. >> you've heard in pieces what we're endeavoring to do is pull this all together in a regional strategy that makes sense. our secretary of state has laid a strong foundation for this. what we've had in afghanistan for years is a disconnected strategy. what we're doing militarily was disconnected to are what we're trying to achieve. >> the "new york times" has learned that special counsel robert mueller's team recently asked the white house to turn over documents related to ousted national security adviser mike flynn. sources tell the "new york times" the request was not a formal subpoena, and marks the first known incidence of such a request. here's what democratic congresswoman maxine waters told chris hayes last night about the latest developments in the russia investigation. >> mueller is going to win. drip by drip, people are finding out that there's more to this than maybe some people thought, and of course, there's a lot of smoke and even now i think people are believing that there's some fire. they are going to put their little tea

there are a few groups predominantly african-american so i think of one, samuel hewitt, they do conferences bringing together faith-based leaders around mass incarceration, the new jim crow, that group is not the one going in fight all the time in doing this ministry work, not on the ground in prison. that perspective needs to be highlighted. there is something gone with the fact the us is so exceptional, the number of people we incarcerate. thinking more broadly and structurally, the way it is, lending their voice, the number of people they have, it is really powerful. >> the recent visit to tacoma with the help of cable partner comcast, a collection of personal stories from boeing employees. how it impacted their lives. >> the name of the book we talk about today is emerging from turbulence, it is a long-term product in the mid-90s, looking at the impact for other corporate chain in the united states around that time on the employee, what was the impact on attitudes to work and what they work for and on family lives, like outsourcing, mergers and in particular what we found was a big chan

he went on the hugh hewitt show. want to play again what he said about the president and his decision to say i would shut down the government. take listen. >> he's making a conscious decision to let his base know that when i said i want to build a wall i meant build a wall. he's running against mitch mcconnell and lindsey graham and others. the congress is very unpopular, particularly with the republican base. so there's nothing inhinged about it. it's political strategy that i'm not so sure is smart. >> do you think that this is a bad strategy, so many people looking toward 2018? >> a new quinnipiac poll shows both parties in congress are more unpopular but the republicans are more unpopular than the democrats are and in fact more people want the democrats to control the house of representativess 50shgs%, than 38% who want republicans to. is the president hurting you, is the president hurting the party with these intraparty fights? >> i think the president is frustrate ed, chris. he came with an agenda. >> is that t

let's go back to hugh hewitt. what happens now inside that white house?oes somebody come in in that position? how does it sort of reorder how things work? >> i think the president looks to his cabinet very, very quickly. through the agency general kelly organizing the paper flow. but you've got some extraordinarily talented people in scott pugh wit at the eps and justice is extremely well talented. and you ask for policy proposals to be staffed appropriately. let gary cohn help put together the tax package. you turn to done mcgahn who is the very talented white house counsel. let's hurry up on the judges. and then you go to mitch mcconnell and paul ryan and have a summit with maybe mike pence and niek airs helping to bring it all together and say let's organize our fall so that we can roll out sws we did the 14 congressional review act. so i'm very optimistic of a reset of what a coalition goth -- and i've been calling it a coalition government for months. i've used the analogy before as well. there is the party of president trump which includes a lot of

people who knew him said hewitt most the time without touching alcohol or even had a single glass of wine he was staggering drunk. his personality was changed and he would be sick for days afterward. you don't know what kind of tolerance he had maybe he was diabetic, you just don't know. but he drank a lot less than people nowadays think you did. after his death his first review was written by griswold who could not stand edgar allan poe. paul made front of him, griswold was horribly offended but was simmering just beneath the surface waiting for poe to die. once he died he wrote an obituary that startled and he went on to betray him as a man man no moral evil despicable person and his biography he pretrade him as a hopeless drunk. but post friends and family came just a fence and said this is not true this is not the pole that we know. and even as an enemy said the rumors of this use is just a baseless slander. over here we have a letter written by one of jutland's good friends. he recounts a very strange episode impose life in the last summer in 1849 poe was passing through philade

and in a new interview with msnbc's hugh hewitt, he said despite the increased threat from pyongyang,hat country remains incredibly isolated on the global stage. >> reuters had a story earlier this week, two u.s. senior officials confirm that the icbms north korea tested can reach anywhere in the united states. can you confirm that, general? >> i'm not going to confirm it, but it is -- as i mentioned, really, i mean, whether it could reach, you know, san francisco or pittsburgh or washington, i mean, how much does that matter, right? it's a grave threat. >> kim jong-un, should he be sleeping easily at night? >> no, i think he should not be, because he has the whole world against him, right? he's isolated. he's isolated on this. since 1953, the korean peninsula's been in a state of armistice. the war never formally ended. and there's been no aggression, no aggression from the united states, south korea, any of our allies. >> if he were removed, general, would the regime's behavior change, if that one individual were removed? >> i'm not sure about that. i don't think anybody has a clear

find some sort of negotiated, diplomatic solution, if possible, but then listen to what he told hugh hewitt on his radio program earlier. listen to this. >> if negotiations fail, fail, he is will be to abandon strategic patience and use preemption. i think he's there mentally. he's told me this. now, the question for him is, what are the options available to him under the preemption, you know, scenario? he's thinking, well, long and hard about it, and his rhetoric yesterday i think is a change that is probablynecessary nece >> a preem-emptive strike is th necessary? >> i don't think we should ever plan on a pre-emptive strike because the consequences are uncal clabl. >> talk about that. say the u.s. launched b-1 bombers or other bombers and took out what the u.s. regarded as most of their major missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles and whatever nuclear capability they may have. how would the north koreans respond? >> the likelihood is that seoul would not exist. seoul would be in ruin. >> the south korean capital? >> the capital with many people. >> 225 million people in the area. >

mcmaster said this when hugh hewitt asked him about venezuela. >> do you see a military intervention from any outside source. >> i don't think so. i think everyone is required to to have one voice about the need to protect the rights and the safety of the venezuelan people. >> and mosts ago the defense minister called the reparks in his words a crazy act. back now with the panel. and you were tweeting about this earlier. critics have said this plays in the hands of madurea in venezuela who has been talking about the u.s. trying to overthrow him. >> right. and venezuela is a different situation. they are not -- they are not aiming nuclear missiles at us. it is an internal problem. i'm glad that we're paying attention to what is going on in venezuela because it has been going on for months and months and hundreds have die and opposition leaders are jailed and they are suffering and people are practically starving in a very rich country and for far too long, the international community, including the united states has sat by in silence watching this happen in our own hemisphere. that be

. >> hugh hewitt talking with national security adviser, h.r.cmaster, on the nuclear threat from north korea. north korea, this morning, vowing to retaliate against the u.s. over these new u.n. sanctions unanimously voted on, and says they won't put their nuclear missiles on the negotiating table. all right, so let's discuss the urgency of that situation. what can be done, and a little bit of context on where we are 200 days into the trump administration. cnn military analyst, mark hurt li ling, and author of "besieged," brigadier general, anthony tata. great to have you both with us. . >> good to be with you. >> so let's start with h.r. mcmaster, some context on north korea. we get a lot of mixed messaging here. not from mcmaster, but, okay, the trump administration has made north korea more of a priority, can't overestimate thousand dangerous this could be if they can reach the homeland, it's unstable, the u.n. votes unanimously for these sanctions. and then we hear expert after expert say, but they probably won't do thinking. and china gettin

on wednesday, general mcmaster, the nfc adviser, defended nicholson in an interview with hugh hewitt. >> do you have confidence yourself in general nicholson? >> of course. i've known him for many years. i can't imagine a more capable commander in any -- on any mission. >> does secretary mattis, does the president? >> absolutely. >> joining me now is nbc's kristen welker at the white house, national political reporter carol lee who broke that story about the infighting over afghanistan and msnbc military analyst general barry mccaffrey, former four star u.s. army general. thanks to all of you. first, carol, to you. you and your team broke this story and it represents an extraordinary argument, debate really, heated debate in the situation room, from a man who -- when he was running said, i love the generals, but then at some points he said i know more than the generals, i'll have my own generals, and here he -- as president obama in fairness is a new president frustrated over the failure to make progress in afghanistan. >> that's exactly right. it was president obama, going back from

in 2015, talk show radio host hugh hewitt asked president trump about the u.s. strategy of having nukes on land, in the air and at sea. >> the three legs of the triad, though, do you have a priority? >> nuclear, the power, the devastation, is very important to me. >> that is a confusion as to why the u.s. has taken the use of nuclear weapons off the table. a desire for increased proliferation of nuclear weapons and a clear lack of policy depth about nuclear weapons. that brings us to the current standoff. >> north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> speaking of fire and fury the world had never seen, we should note it was on this day in 1945 that u.s. forces dropped the atomic bomb on nagasaki, japan, immediately incinerating 4,000 people. the day before that, the u.s. dropped a bomb on hiroshima. it braought an end to the actio of world war ii. the white house said the president spoke ex tetemporaneoy about fire and fury. barbara starr at the pentagon. what is going to

play something that senator lindsey graham, south carolina senator lindsey graham, said on hugh hewitt's radio show. take a listen. >> containment won't work. the idea of allowing them a nuclear capability to strike the homeland and contain it is a very bad choice. one, they'll sell the technology over time. and i don't believe our missile defense systems are that good. >> first of all, what do we know about the missile defense systems, both of you? secondly, for you, david, do u.s. leaders think there's some sort of carrot and stick approach out there that is going to stabilize the region? >> as far as the missile defense systems go, we have pretty good missile defense systems and medium ones. in terms of the icbms, we're still perfecting that technology. so there are big question marks there. as far as what our options are, there are people who seriously think the only option is to take them out militarily. but there are a lot of people included that say we have to go to the chinese to ratchet up support. >> but we have tried that. >> we have not tried that. we have tried sanctions and

msnbc" who you would think would be the most anti-trump than anyone on the right has now hired hugh hewittgreta van susteren and nicole wallace. those are three, not conservatives but three republicans which i never thought they would do. my point is i think they are still figuring out where they are. every now and again chris matthews falls and hits his head and says something that surprises me. >> lately, yale. i don't know what to make of him. do you know what i mean? one tuesday in the middle of the month they might say trump might be onto something. >> at one point he said something like trump he came president tonight when he did something. i care remember what the event was but that was for chris matthews when he became president. >> he probably got reprimanded. we are here, why not. let me get to some questions from the audience. do you miss greg gutfeld and the five? [applause] >> i definitely miss the five. so here's the thing. i was there from, so take it back six years glenn beck said to roger ailes, i'm leaving at 5:00 and i'm doing my own thing. roger said okay, fine at the e

lindsey graham, actually speaks to the president fairly regularly on these issues, he was on the "hugh hewitt show" today. listen to what he said about the president's state of mind. >> i think he's made a decision language ago, quite frankly, to try to negotiate the threat with north korea. to try to find a way to negotiations to end the threat to the american homeland. but if negotiations failed, fail, he is willing to abandon strategic patience and use preemptions. i think there minimally. if i fire one shot at north korea they're going to unleash all of their weapons against south: japan and our forces so issue one, you got to be willing to finish the job. >> you know, i think this situation right now is one that people on the hill and both parties have been nervous about. being international crisis, where they don't have a lot of control or say-so over what the president does. that the president has a lot of leeway here. i think you know, they're laying out the choices pretty starkly. i also think that, you know, those comments alarmed a lot of americans. right? >> yeah. >> i think peopl

action that in response perhaps to some of the messaging coming from hr in an interview with our hugh hewittyou know, what we're prepared to do in some of the options that may be getting prepared for the u.s. government. what do you make of the turn that this standoff has taken over the weekend? >> well, first of all, we can expect this kind of belligerent kind of braggadocio from the north koreans. it's pretty typical. but this set of sanctions is important. important note, 15-0, the chinese and the russians are on board. these are more severe. they're restricting export of coal, iron ore which is critical to their economy. this is a significant ratcheting up of financial pressure. it matches with the additional pressure that the trump administration is trying to play, not just on north korea but on china to try to restrict pyongyang and give them a harsh choice which is continue with your missile and nuclear program, you're going to face more international isolation, more financial hardship. if you want to talk, we're willing to talk. but certainly the sanctions are in intended to try to s
