what do you think, jason miller? >> well, don, there's a big difference between saying that they're absolutely opposed to this bill and this reform in any way, shape, or form and there's no chance they can ever get there or it's not there yet an they're using it as a leverage point and want to see a couple of additional tweaks or changes or even concessions as they work along. so i think the senate bill did a couple really smart things where it made it a lot more palatable, i believe to moderates. did a couple things i believe also will get conservatives onboard, but fundamentally as we saw yesterday with the news of anthem blue cross, blue shield pulling out of indiana and ohio and wisconsin, obamacare is absolutely imploding. i think they're taking the right steps. ted cruz, in particular, i think has a couple really good ideas for some reform and hopefully adopt a few of them and get them onboard. >> let me ask you, jason. the president said it was mean and a son of a you know what. i think he wanted this to be a

let's speak to jason miller and political contributor hilary rosen. we have a lot to get to, guys. start with you. the president is calling james comey a leaker. james comey said he found some interactions with the president some sort of surreal and strange that he felt compelled to write it down and to as he said get it out in the public square so people could see he was asked to take loyalty pledges and pressed to back off the investigation. what's your response? >> well, i don't think this is president trump calling director comey a leaker. i think director comey came out himself. >> he called him that in the tweet. >> he is using the exact -- describing exactly what james comey said he did which was try to manipulate the special counsel investigation by sending this memo to a friend at columbia law to leak it to the media. this is exactly what happened. i don't think this is a game of semantics here. the single biggest take away yesterday is the president, as he mentioned in his tweet, was completely vindicated. director comey backed up three times he told the president he was n

here to discuss it is jason miller, political analyst tara palmeri and jason candor.ood evening to all of you. good to have you on. david, the president met with his cabinet today. here's what they had to say. >> it's good to be here and celebrate this group. >> mr. president, it is a privilege to be here. i want to thank you for keeping the commitment to the american workers. i can't thank you enough for the leadership that you've shown. >> i want to thank you for getting this country moving again, and also working again. >> on behalf of the entire senior staff around you, mr. president, we thank you for the opportunity and the blessing that you've given us to serve your agenda and the american people. >> what's going on here, david? >> don, first of all i'm honored to be associated with your broad shoulders and abilities. >> thank you. >> i don't know what's going on exactly, but i will tell you that it's a part of a pattern with this president. that's just the way that he likes to do business, when i think it comes to his ego, and how he sees himself as a leader. a

and former communication for the trump campaign jason miller.e are assuming that the main focus of legality will come down to james comey's suggestion that the president asked him to stop the flynn probe. obstruction of justice is the crime that gets thrown around. a tricky one. ambassador, it is intent crime. you need official proceeding going on. you have to prove intent. what do you see? >> chris, good morning. thanks for having me. we already have seen a narrowing of the possible obstruction case thanks to having director comey's testimony. the focus has become the flynn conversation. i do believe that prima facia case has been made. affirmative case has been made by asking director comey can you see your way clear to dropping the flynn investigation. comey makes clear and comey knows what he is doing. he makes clear he felt that was a request that was to drop an active investigation. that is affirmative case. there is more to go. i don't go as far as some saying the case is proved. open and shut. cut and dry. no. we have miles to go to turn

jason miller, legal scholar jay skeklo, and eli, let's start with you. how big is this? if in fact there was a meeting again, we don't know. there's a story it's being investigating at the mayflower hotel that haept been disclosed. how big a deal is it? >> it's another part of a drip, drip, drip of revelations that have come out after the fact that officials didn't disclose meetings they had with the russian ambassador and with other people with ties to the russian government. ongoing investigations, multiple investigations into possible collusion with russia going back to the campaign and other investigations going on possible related to an obstruction of justice charge. we don't know which way it's going to go. there's still a lot of details that haven't come out. given where we're at in terms of the investigation, i think, you know, it could lead to just more questions and more pressure on the trgz and on attorney general jeff sessions. this is happening when he's involved in the search for a new fbi director. >> obviously, again, we don't know if meeting took place.

joininging me on that, john avalon, cnn political analyst, jason miller, former communications adviser to president trump and margaret hoover, cnn commentator and worked in the bush white house. thank you all for being here. jason, let me begin with you. phil mattingly noted so many things that would happen if you just repeal obamacare, don't replace it with anything and work on replace it later. most notably, you need 60 votes, so you need chuck schumer and the democrats on board. what do you make of the president doing this? >> poppy, good morning. as much as i would like the republicans to repeal obamacare, it's not going to happen, at least not as a stand alone bill. what the president may be doing, from the outside looking in, is lighting a fire on those working on this actual repeal and replace legislation in the senate to get this done. go get them fired up and say, hey, there are a lot of folks who would like to go with 100% repeal. i think he may have been lighting a fire under them and drawing more attention to the overall need to get this done. we saw another provider pull o

. >> jason miller, and matt lewis as well. jeff, i mean the president does have legal authority to do that, doesn't he? to hire a special prosecutor? >> under the regulation, this is how it works, that if he wants to get rid of the special counsel, it actually has to be a decision by the attorney general, the attorney general is the one that has to fire him. the attorney general, presuma y presumably, as jeff sessions is recused here, so it would be up to rob rosenstein, who was the person who appointed bob mueller just a couple of weeks ago. so the question is would rosen stein acce rosenstein accept an order to fire mueller, or would he refuse and resign and would the order be followed by someone lower down in the hierarchy in the justice department. that's -- it's technically up to the attorney general. >> matt, do you agree with that legal assessment? >> i do, and the special counsel is just an attorney in the department of justice, it's appointed, there's no statutory construction like we had with the independent counsel

but according to former trump advisor and goatee host organism, jason miller, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why harris kept getting interrupted. >> he came out with a surprising amount of vinegar and, uh, fire in his belly today with some of his answers. he knocked away some of the hysteria from kamala harris. >> how was senator harris hysterical? i think she asked a lot of questions. she was very dogged, there was no question. but i wouldn't say she was anymore dogged than ron wyden, would you say that? >> uh, listen-- my-- my opinion on that is-- i think she was hysterical. >> stephen: really? if anyone was hysterical, maybe it was the old question saying that her questions were scaring him "have you know shame, senator harris? how many verbs is this sentence going to have? a dangling participle coming at me like a viper in the night. i do declare, this aggressive line of questioning. ( cheers and applause ) i have the vapors. beauregard, bring me a fainting couch and a mint julep!" we've got a great show for you tonight. trevor noah is here. but when we return, the return

>> paul begala, former counselor to bill clinton and jason miller, advise tore the trump campaign. l ban. >> well, whatever you call it, the president has the authority to go and put a temporary travel ban or travel restriction or whatever you want to call it in place when there are abuses going on. six of the last seven presidents have used this exact code to go and implement temporary restrictions. and look, this is part of the reason why president trump won last year, because he's willing to take the tough steps necessary to keep our country safe. while all the folks back on the east coast might be all the belly aching and worried about political correctness, he's taking real steps to try to keep the country safe. i think people outside of the bubble that we're in really appreciate that. >> i can tell you, words matter on some level. i just came back from dubai. when i went to check in, they said do you have a laptop? you know this trump travel ban thing is a big issue. so by the way, conflating travel ban and laptop ban, which is obviously a mistake. but paul, i make this point

jason miller, you worked on the transition, so i have to ask you, have you been contacted by investigators, have you learned anything about the documents that the staff that you worked on has been asked to preserve? >> you learned through the reporting that a letter has gone out to everyone who worked on the transition team, and quite frankly, i think it's a little disingenuous to ask a question like that, you didn't ask anybody like loretta lynch or any of the clinton people. >> i've been contacted could mean anything, the transition members were asked about transition lawyers to preserve documents today. i ju i. >> there were letters sent out to everyone who was on the transition team. as matt just pointed out a moment ago, again, i think one of the things with the leaks are, i think there's an important thing i want to go back to for just a moment. when these stories come out. it's not just that there might be erroneous reporting or leaking of classified info, one of the other problems with the leaks is that they're putting out little process details to try to make it look like there's

cnn political congressmen kaeco jason miller is here, as well. be careful with my jasons tonight.ident trump facing blow back for his decision to pull out the united states from the paris accord. he's also hailed by supporters for keeping a campaign promise. why won't the white house say though whether president trump believes clie mamate change is hoax? >> what you're seeing is yesterday, it didn't work to attack the president for withdrawing from the paris accord. today, they're trying to get this artificial argument going of, does he fit neatly into one box or the other? look, i've had conversations with the president on the issue of environment, cleaning up our air, our water, everything. he's very supportive of this. if he were to come out today and say, you know what, i think the way you define climate change is a hoax, then he'd be attacked as being a heretic. if he said, you know what, actually, i do believe in your definition of climate change, then he'd be a flip-flopper. you know what? right now, he's keeping it focused where he needs to, which is on jobs, the economy a

jason miller, jennifer grantham, steven moore and maggie has beenerman. why wouldn't the white house say that the president believes it's a hoax. >> probably because if the answer is yes i don't think therapy they are prepared to deal with everything that would come with that. they don't want to get into having to explain away a tweet from a couple of years ago that having been said this is sfvgly fair game legitimate something he said as a candidates something i he put out in the medium many that he continues to use it's his favorite way of communicating with people. i think it's a problem on its own it's not going away. it's emblematic as the jim said the white house has hungered down on everything these days very, very hard to get a direct answer on a number of topics. we have gone from to be fair to the president early on in the administration -- well we're still early on. earlier on in the administration he was much more accessible then president obama was. reporters able to talk to him more easily. people were while sean spicer was aggressive to put

former campaign manager for hillary clinton and from the clinton campaign to the trump campaign, jason miller's just been seated. you were listening to my conversation there. what did you think of the points that he was making? >> well, i think it's -- >> first on loretta lynch. >> i think that news is a bombshell today. the fact that this was just swept under the rug and we're just finding out about this now. but i think it goes to arlarger narrative that sometimes things are okay to be political and sometimes they have to be brought up exactly then. biggest thing that came up to me was the leaks. this leak issue is very detrimental and the fact that director comey before today viewed him as a true lawman. they didn't know how he would interpret things but you can see where there is very, very political thinking that went into this. specifically leaking a conversation that he had with the president to hopefully influence a special counsel, i mean, this is from the director of the fbi? this is remarkable. >> well, i would say that the president has been pretty good about talking about conversat

. >> up front front david gergen, john avelon, and jason miller former senior communications advisor for the trump campaign. this was a landmark global agreement, right? there were only two countries today that were not privy to its. now the united states joins that group. is this an unpress dented decision? >> yes. and i'm sorry to say this, but erin, listen, some 70 years ago, the united states entered an international agreement called the marshall blaj we came to the aid of europe. it was one of the noebelest acts in human history. today we've walked away from the rest of the world and it's one of the most shameless attacks around the world. it's a terrible setback for the planet. we represent as a country 4% of the world's population, but we represent about a third of all the excess carbon dioxide just warming the planets. we're the largest contributor of carbon dioxide in the world. as we walk away from that, it's grotesquely irresponsible. it's true that the nations that are going to faye greatest price for global warming are the poorest countries of the world mpltd and yet the

jason miller, chief political analyst gloria borger, and david axelrod, and editor at large chris saliza. good evening to all of you. where shall we begin? why don't we start with mr. preston. remarkable day in american history, don't you think? is this the worst day of this young presidency? >> we've used that terminology a lot. given so many things that have happened during this presidency. but i don't think it was the worst day of his presidency. i don't necessarily think it was a great day to have the former fbi director on national television across every network, laying out what he felt was intimidation by the president. i also don't think we can look at this through one prism. there are different ways you have to look at it. politically, legally, we just saw this past hour from gary tuchman's piece we were talking off camera, where his supporters still seem to be with him. so i just think it's very complicated. honestly, i've been saying this the last 24 hours, and will for the next receive or seven months, this is a very little piece of a very big jigsaw puzzle. >> i want to get

jason miller, president trump facing blow-back for his decision to pull the united states out of the paris climate accord but he is being heralded by his supporters forkeeping a campaign promise. why won't the white house say if president trump believes it's a hoax? >> what are you seeing in the media and many from the left right now, yesterday, it did not work to attack the president for pulling on out of the paris accord so, they are trying to get him to fit neatly in a box of whether he believes in climate change. i have had conversations with the president about the environment and cleaning up the air and water and everything, he is supportive of this. look, if he were to come out today and say, you know what? i just, i think that the way you define climate change is a hoax, then he would be attacked as being a herratic, if he came out and said, he believes in your definition of climate change, he would be a flip flopper. he is keeping it focused where he needs to. which is jobs and the economy. >> that was a great answer, but you did not answer any question. >> but, don, it's th

paul begala, jason miller, jennifer granholm and maggie haberman. why would the president not just say that he believes that climate change is a hoax as he did when he was a civilian? >> because if he says yes, they are probably not prepared to what all goes along with that and explaining away a tweet that having been said a couple years ago, this is perfectly fair game, something he said as a candidate, something he put out there in the media and continues to use and it's his favorite way of communicating with people. i think it's a problem on it's not going to go away on its own but the fact that the white house has hunkered down on almost everything these days. and to be fair to the president early on in the administration -- well, we're still early on. earlier on in the administration, he was much more accessible than, say, president obama was. reporters were able to talk to him much more easily. his people were, while sean spicer was aggressive, to put it mildly, others were responsive. i think it has changed in the last couple of weeks. i thin

people are really concerned not about his unique style as jason miller was calling it last night and his personality. they're concerned about the way he can't control his emotions and he acts on them and lashes out in vindictive and destructive ways and that it can't be stopped. all those people around him want better for him, who really are swallowing hard to keep from getting fired, using the defense that sarah huckabee sanders, a talented, articulate, inflappable person who is good at her job, the things she said yesterday were things she had to say. every republican on capitol hill who is either condemning it openly or saying it's unhelpful is actually most concerned with his temperament and what it means for the rest of his presidency. >> as tuesday with all of us, a.b., obviously huckabee sanders has a job to do, but she makes a choice on how to do it. smerc, how do you see it? >> i'm guilty of it, when his bad behavior breaks into the news, we act like we've never seen it before. a.b. made reference to the john mccain moment, the megyn kelly moment, the "access hollywood" tape

jason miller joins me now, along with john saki and mark preston.you know, mark, i think important there what he said. he kept it very much focussed on the tragedy that just struck congress on congress trying to work together. did not talk about the tapes or elaborate on that and did not talk about what is in front of everyone on that lawn tonight, which is health care. >> no, he didn't. in many ways he gave a traditional presidential speech. he was, you know, it was very smart of him and kind of him to talk about the bravery of the capitol hill police officers as well as to talk about steve scalise and the others. but he did talk about the need for bipartisan spirit to come back to washington, d.c. and he's right about that because this is a very, very bitter place. however, he does have his own problems within his party right now. i think that has to be worked out first before they could actually come together as democrats or republicans. >> so on that point, this is a crucial moment, politically with the president when it comes to health care r,

>> we know they have talked to ingram, and the president talked to jason miller, a cnn contributor and. i don't think there's any definite front-runner. a lot of names in the works. hopefully they'll make a decision in the next month or two is the goal in the white house, i think. >> what's the problem? in all fairness to sean spicer, it's a tough job. it's a really easy job if your president is not making a lot of waves. that's an easy sell. he's got a difficult job. >> right. sean has to defend early-morning tweets that he's not aware of, policy position changes that he's not aware of, a president who will say one thing one day and totally different things the next day. and a president who is critical of surrogates. tells him how to answer questions every day, he's a tough cookie to say the least. i think sean has, in some ways, done an admirable job of getting, you know, out there every day and handling it. but i don't think he has much longer for this world. >> are people calling for the job? as i notice, it's really easy if the president is not giving a lot of trouble, giving you

we have jason miller who is the head coach here at brier woods high school varsity baseball team andlause] >> let's show some love. okay. you did something remarkable. state champs, that is no small feat. how did you do it? >> we did it with our senior class this year, they showed a great example on and off the field and showed the younger class men how to behave at practice and showed them how to do hard work, ethics throughout the post season. >> and i know you've got to be so proud of this baseball team. >> yeah, they've come a long way. our seniors worked really hard they showed mental toughness through low points and through high points and that's why we were able to tough it out in the 14 inning game. >> what did it take? i imagine lots of practice but it's also ahead game. you've got to get their heads in the game. what did it take to bring you to this moment of saying, listen, we are state champs. >> just toughness, sticking together, working a-you know, through a lot of failure, a lot of down points kept on going, kept on working hard. >> okay. little problem technically but

me msnbc justice and security analyst matt miller, a former spokesperson at the justice department under general eric holder and my panel steve kornacki and jasonohnson. matt, start with you, committee chairman republican richard burr says james comey pretty much can discuss anything. take a look. >> has mueller urged him not to talk about the russia investigation or stay away from certain areas? >> they've talked but i understand that the special counsel has not fenced him off in any way, shape, or form from the items he intends to talk about. >> unshackled what does it mean robert mueller gave james comey permission to speak on everything? >> it means comey will be able to come in and talk about the biggest question in american politics which did the president of the united states commit obstruction of justice either a criminal act or at least a major abuse of his power by asking comey to back off on the flynn investigation, by asking for his loyalty and then firing him when he wouldn't comply. and i think we'll see jim comey testify about those interactions but remember, "the new york times" when it reported about the existence of the comey
