huffi"huffington post's" lauren. i'll start with you. should the president be worried about this? >> possibly so. we don't know exactly what's in all of this information, we don't know what andrew mccabe has told the special counsel or what he will tell the special counsel if he continues to talk to them. but it draws a clear line between his cooperation and now him being fired. andrew mccabe is insisting that this is retribution for his cooperation with this ongoing probe by robert mueller, and if that is found to be true, that could add a lot of trouble to president trump if mueller believes that that's an additional effort to obstruct justice, of course. the president is saying this is a crackdown on wrongdoing within the fbi that he's been decrying for a long time. so i think right now only robert mueller knows the full answer to that. >> laura, we've seen several democrats come out calling for an end to the russia investigation as a result of mccabe's firing. the senate minority leader chuck schumer said this in a statement, quote, mr. dowd's comments are yet another indicati

cnn political commentator and former trump campaign adviser steve cortez and columnist for the huffington post and usa today curt bardella, does it appear the president is setting the stage to get rid of robert mueller. >> i think he's pretty much telegraphing it, if rosenstein doesn't end the investigation and fire mueller, he'll be next and be the one to be fired. they tried to walk that back 20 minutes later. the message is clear that's what donald trump wanted out there. the explicit attacks against mueller on twitter, that's exactly what he's thinking. i don't think there's a whole lot of cloak and dagger going on. it's pretty straight forward what trump wants to happen here. >> let's listen to what trey gowdy said about trump's lawyer calling for the russia probe to end. >> to suggest that mueller should shut down and that all he is looking at is collusion, if you have an innocent client mr. dowd, act like it. russia attacked our country. let special counsel mueller figure that out and if you believe as we found there's no evidence of collusion, you should want special counsel mueller to

aforementioned harry enten, writer and analyst and amanda terkel, washington bureau chief for the huffington postharry, explain the numbers to me, what's doing on? >> the president has a loyal base of supporters and everyone who hated him before the campaign hates him now except for a few republicans who switched from disapproving of his job to approving of him personally and that's what's happened. the democrats already all hated him. most of the independents hated him and the republicans are sticking by his side and nothing that seems to occur in this presidency takes them away from him. >> harry, something else to be kept in mind, i think, is that electability and approval rates are two totally separate things. >> sure. of course. i think that this is one of the key things we need to remember, right? donald trump was the most unpopular candidate of all time when he faced off against hillary clinton in 2016, but clinton herself was the second most unpopular candidate of all time. in 2018 it's a whole different ball game. that's why if i'm donald trump i can't allow the republican party to succe

the huffington post put it this way, time and again the nation has mourned the loss of black lives and taken to the streets and social media to demand both an end to killings and accountability for those involved. the question is, where is the accountability? >> that is the question. here we have, think about it, stephon clark is a suspect in vandalism. vandalism. not a violent crime. but vandalism. and the cops come into the backyard of his grandmother's house, guns drawn. and within seconds, he's dead with 20 shots. think about this. alton sterling in an open carry state, it's an open carry state, had a gun put to his head and said we will kill you. he's not complying, but there's something about this that is deeply wrong. the university of cincinnati police officer who killed a driver, just got back pay of $300,000. he didn't get convicted. the police officer who killed fill an dough ca fi philando castille didn't get convicted. people are fearing for their lives because of assumptions about who they are, who my baby is, i have to worry about him leaving the room, leaving my home. y

maya wylie former prosecutor and laura bassett from the "huffington post" join me to discuss what is happening in trump world right now. there's almost too much to get to. i try to outrace the rolling rock behind me that is the news. let's start with this with looking up close at the pressure on these folks and what you saw yesterday. sam nunberg crediting you with your live on air legal counsel. i hope you send him the bill. ex-trump said sam none bergs says after he got legal advice from maya wylie. she's very, very smart. if you have never been on the wrongside of this kind of legal pressure, it can really send people around the bend. >> it's devastatingly stressful. and i think it's important to acknowledge that. i do want to make one quick correction. i was assistant united states attorney here in new york in the civil division, civil prosecutor, not a criminal prosecutor. but i think what's important here is that this is a white house and sam is an example of this, of people who do not have a lot of political experience. and the reality of this kind of investigation would be de

huffington post, ted cruz, associated press, the rnc, club for growth and national hispanic media coalition. >> most republicans don't like people who are litigious to begin with. it's not normal. i think something i really agree with is his voters believe what he says. i think he threatens to sue to underscore he's telling the truth. and i think if something were to come out that were dramatically like visual evidence that discounted what he said, then you might see a difference. but as long as he is saying nothing happened, his voters are going to -- >> i don't want to damper your hope which would be my hope that voters are going to see this cad, if you will. we run victory laps after alabama where he won by two points, and that was a pedophile. >> the worst candidate -- >> and they still -- i know it's alabama. i think unfortunately with trump, all of this skeevieness, they don't care, it's almost part of his strength. i know as sick as that sounds to a lot of his audience, so i don't think -- i think the prey will be moving on past. when you talk about mueller, i'm talking about somethi

laura bassett, "huffington post," carrie sheffield had, and christina greer, associate professor of political at fordham university. christine, i'll start with you. when you see that demographic profile, what do you make of that? >> i want to remind everyone we have had lots of protests in the past 15 months. there are lots of americans protesting well before the election of donald trump. they weren't greeted with the same response from the media. they were greeted by thanks and militarized police officers from the u.s. federal government. we have to remember this is also an extension of protest movements that have been seeding the ground for some time. there is a partisan element obviously. there are a lot of democrats who feel incredibly frustrated by the shenanigans and wholly incompetent nature of donald trump as president right now. hopefully it will maintain itself not just in november for the midterms but all the primaries coming up in a lot of these states especially for democrats honestly who some have been asleep at the wheel. that's a real wake-up call for a lot of elected official

the huffington post wrote a headline, president who bragged of groping women declares sexual assaultmonth. is that fair criticism of the president? >> i think a lot of presidents face issues when they have to follow tradition. i could be mistaken, but i believe april always is sexual assault awareness month, which is an important month. especially as we've seen in the past year with the coming of the me too movement, it would be almost of a story if he didn't. i think he doesn't have any choice. he's got to do this. he's got to follow tradition. especially at this important time in the country. we talked a lot about this. the me too movement is here to stay. it's not going anywhere, it's affecting positive change in america. i think it will be more of a story if he didn't. >> what about this, jonathan, the new york times has this article about the president bragging about the president, all her hard work on infrastructure during his visit to ohio. can she help to fulfill his agenda here or is she out of her league? >> around the margins she might be able to help. there's not going to

i started writing on eds for "huffington post" and gave talks around new york state including encouraging parents to refuse common core tests. and then i decided train is a political scientist so i said -- i really should use my training to dell it of into this issue and really try to get behind the scenes. so motivation is apparent but skillset is a political scientist. so the question to answer is are standards god or the problem implementation so that's the first kind of question is standards a problem but implementation the problem? if the standards are the problem, should we try to do it again better? should we do a common core 2.0? and -- you know, we're at a moment where there are national education stardz in various stodges of being implemented but there's national education standards in science, next generation science standards social studies, c3 framework. there's a sexually sexuality ano we're really many this moment where there are all of the education reformers saying we need national education standards to how should we think about these things so those are questions in my

host: you wrote in the huffington post that you believe that any march for our lives must include kids like trayvon martin. what do you mean by that? what message do you want to organizers of today's events around the world to include to address your concerns? caller: absolutely. first and foremost, and i've said this repeatedly, we are so excited and energized by these young people taking action today from parkland and all over the country. the core of that, we all understand that no matter how you are identifying, what it means to feel unsafe. we for generations, there has been communities that have been asking, what about us? able to expand. the relationship, it does not look at police and deportation -- so we actually built a social space and that. we actually think about the systemic issues connected to poverty that a lot of communities of color suffer through. joblessness, homelessness, poor transportation, no health care -- how do you begin to expand including all of those things that we imagine that keeps us safe? host: i've been reading a lot of post-analysis on school gun vio
