tough talk from john kasich. quite a vow to make, if he were to be president.e for the nomination in 2020. we know north korea has tremendous risks for south korea. >> right. and why the president and the national security team specifically secretary mattis favored a diplomatic option. i mean, of course the military option is always on the table, but you've heard mattis. you've heard the joint chiefs of staff general dunford. you've heard all the commanders -- >> steve bannon, sort of taken off the table in his exit interview. >> i think what he meant, the actual strike would be unthinkable, and so, yes, of course the president already reserves the right for military option, but certainly you've heard general upon general, commander upon commander say that the results would be catastrophic, and so that's why that's really the last resort, worse-case snacenario. >> north korea knows that. part of their strategy, making sure a strike on north korea would bring enormous costs to south korea. >> and why he knows that, and he knows that a strike on the united states

no, you did not hear john kasich say a simple no.ill not challenge donald trump for the nomination. our own willie geist reported last week, sources close to john kasich tell me after charlottesville there is growing should be worried about ohio governor john kasich. >> does a republican need to step forward to challenge president trump in three years? >> well, jake, as you said, i don't have any plans to do anything like that. i'm rooting for him to get it together. we all are. we're only seven months into this presidency. >> i don't have any plans. no, you did not hear john kasich say a simple no. he will not challenge donald trump for the nomination. our own willie geist reported last week, sources close to john kasich tell me after charlottesville there is growing sense of moral imperative to primary trump in 2020. it seems the question is not will the republican challenge donald trump for the nomination, the question is how many republicans will challenge donald trump for the nomination. we'll be right back. i'm so frustrated. i

>> i'll ask another republican, governor john kasich of high, who has not ruled out taking on president trump in 2020. plus, the democrats, do they have a strategy beyond being against all things trump? can they avoid a culture war track? sherrod brown of ohio. >> joining me for analysis are katy terr of nbc mousse. "washington post" columnist, new york times and daniel met ka of the american enterprise institute. welcome to sunday. it's meet the press. >>> good sunday morning. we are covering three storms today t. one of them is president trump's pardon of former sheriff joe arpaio and what we now know about what he wanted to do. the second is the president's fight with his own party. and we're going to get to both of those stories in a few minutes. but we do begin with hurricane harvey. once a category 4 hurricane harvey has noun been downgraded to a tropical storm. but sadly the worst is surely yet to come. devastating record flooding is feared as the storm is expected to linger over southeast texas for days. already has been issued for the city of houston. america's fourth largest c

i think in john kasich's home state of ohio, we beat him by 10, 11 points. john didn't support president trump and if he thinks he's going to run against president trump, i'll take the opportunity to volunteer for that race to continue to destroy john kasich's career. >> meanwhile, rex tillerson is in the philippines for a security forum with world leaders including north korea's foreign minister. it will come one day after the u.n. unanimously passed a new round of sanctions for other u.n. violations. now, earlier this morning, tillerson met with labrov for the first time since president trump signed the bill for election meddling. here's what nikki haley said in an interview yesterday on the possibility of even more sanctions. >> i think we'll have to wait and see. you know, we should always be hard on any country that tries to meddle in our elections whether it's russia or anything else. what you saw those sanctions were response to the meddling and we'll see how russia responds to that. >> for more on those sanctions, kelly o'donnell in bridgewater, new

is john kasich likely to be the man to take on an incumbent president within his own party?man, he'll be among the men i assume. ben sasse has been in iowa, tom cotton has been in iowa. tom cotton is much more something to you trump than kasich or sass. the idea he would be close to re-election assuming he's there and hasn't quit in a huff over the rigged system is implausible. >> i was struck by david jolly on this program last night basically saying if i have to run against him myself, i will. those are almost the exact words that gene mccarthy said during actually privately during a senate foreign relations committee hearing in 1967 when the undersecretary of state was testifying about vietnam and outraging gene mccarthy and bill full bright on that committee. mccarthy came away from that hearing saying privately if i have to run for president myself to stop this i will. and he did. and the incumbent president he ran against as you remember, dropped out of the race when he was challenged that way. >> well, the republicans are in this awful position they put themselves in

john kasich, 52% in new hampshire.ump, 40% in new hampshire, and donald trump won new hampshire -- the new hampshire primary about 35% of the vote, and that means if he was going on one-on-one, john kasich might have won new hampshire, but he would win today. >> well, just it is early and a lot of things can change, and we have spent a lot of time underestimating donald trump in the last year and a half. unlike richard nixon, donald trump has that echo chamber and he has the alternative reality media that will support him and go to the wall. richard nixon only resigned because of two things. number one, there was the smoking gun, and number two, you had principled republicans who were willing to stand up against him. i don't think you're going to see republicans stand up against president trump until that base begins to crack. if the base begins to crack, that changes, but again, richard nixon never enjoyed kind of -- the sycophants, the supporters, the air cover, the fluffers and media that donald trump can call upon

ohio governor john kasich will be among my guests.back with a story that's so out of the this world it would eclipse the eclipse. discover card. hey. what can you tell me about your new social security alerts? oh! we'll alert you if we find your social security number on any one of thousands of risky sites, so you'll be in the know. ooh. sushi. ugh. being in the know is a good thing. sign up online for free. discover social security alerts. and when youod sugar is a replace one meal... choices. ...or snack a day with glucerna... ...made with carbsteady... ...to help minimize blood sugar spikes... ...you can really feel it. now with 30% less carbs and sugars. glucerna. when heartburn hits fight back fast with tums chewy bites. fast relief in every bite. crunchy outside. chewy inside. tum tum tum tum tums chewy bites. >>> we have some fake news for you. not the russian kind or the kind president trump complains out. in 1835, word came of discovery of life on the moon. that came to us from the new york sun newspaper which reported of evi

john kasich, governor of ohio finished a distant second to the president? . that's just last year. but now when american research group tested a hypothetical challenge from kasich against the president in a republican primary, they found the ohio governor with a 12-point lead. joe, let me ask you and then i want sam stein -- but let me ask you. you're sitting in your district or state and looking at these numbers about your president of the united states. someone stands up and starts really hammering the president in a town hall meeting at some point this week or month, what's the strength of your reflection and support for your republican president? >> i mean, i think what i would do if i were somebody who had supported donald trump in congress when i was a member of congress in supporting him, i think i say obviously the president gets distracted. he gets distracted too easily. i wish i could take his phone, smash it. i wish i could throw it away. i wish i could keep him focussed on cutting your taxes and helping small business owners with less regulations

. >> and joining me now is the republican governor of ohio, john kasich. welcome back to meet the press. >> hey, chuck, before we get into this. we need to send a contribution either to the salvation army or the red cross. my mother used to say if everybody does a little bit, it's amazing how much will build in the jar. once that flooding comes in your house is never the same. if rch across the country just does a little bit it will be appreciated down in texas. and that's what we've got to do. >> sadly, some of them will end up having to be condemned. >> absolutely correct. >> all right. let me jump in to what happened on friday that didn't involve a hurricane. the vice president -- former vice president joe buy den wrote this today in the atlantic reacting both to arpaio and charlottesville and i'm curious of your reaction, governor. we have an american president who is elm bolded white supremacists with comfort and support. a week after charlottesville and boston we saw the truth of america, those with the courage to pose hate far out number those who p

so if you look at ohio governor john kasich, who has often been a critic of the president but at the same time wants him to be successful in terms of for the good of the country, here is the prescription from ohio governor john kasich on what john kelly, the chief of staff, needs to do with respect to getting things organized inside the white house team. >> they have got to get some stability among the staff. i think that's probably what general kelly is trying to do. with so many changes here in the last couple of weeks. but the changes have to stop and we have to have a team. you can't keep putting new people in the lineup and think you're going to win a world championship. >> and it is unclear based on our reporting if there will be additional staff changes in the days to come. john kelly has been doing an assessment of the team and certainly to remove a figure as large as steve bannon with as big a shadow and his own power base inside the white house, it is thought that there could be some additional staff changes. john kasich is saying let's get the team set and then try to move

john kasich is no fan of donald trump. has never supported him. the didn't sport him last year and isn't now. so i think that they want to get this out there to suggest that hey, if the country doesn't like where president trump is taking us, there's going to be a third party ticket potentially available in 2020. now, it's more complicated than that, of course. the fact is that it's very hard for a third party to find viability in this country. i think not only is it a ways away but the practical challenges are immense. also, one is a democrat and one's a republican. >> you can make a reasonable case that this would hurt the democrats more than it would hurt president trump. >> democrats would say this. the two term governor of colorado, very much in the mainstream of the party would say, this is too serious of a time to risk losing the white house for four more years. you can't do this because you might drain votes that could help defeat donald trump. >> all right. something else is going on this morning. this continuing back and forth between pr

today the republican governor of ohio john kasich and colorado's democratic governor john hickenloopereir bipartisan plan to fix the american health care system and they are both joining me now. governors, thank you so much for being with us here on the lead. we do appreciate it. and we have a lot to cover certainly when it comes to your health care proposal. real quick, i want to ask you though as you're looking at what's going on with harvey in in texas and louisiana, what do you think, governor kasich, about this state and the federal response? >> so far, everything i understand, it's been enormous. what's been the best thing is people from all walks of life, all walks of life have made enormous contributions. i mean, it's all the way from sports stars like jj watt to social media stars, including the kardashians, and then lots of money from across the country, from to the salvation army to the red cross, here in ohio, we've sent some first responders, some firefighters. we stand ready to send whatever we can. i'm sure john has done the same. my family's made a donation, and look, i

because we have seen some other republicans, big name republicans like john kasich, john mccain, marco rubio, jeb bush, all of them either mavericks or have run against donald trump, notably, calling the president out by name. then there was this. manu raju reported this this morning. the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is privately upset with the president's handling of this episode, according to a source close to the leader. is that enough? >> it's nowhere near enough. at this point, what you have i think is you still have a lot of republicans with their heads in the stand. they are sitting there thinking let's just get through these bad news cycles and we can still accomplish some good things with the president's agenda. we can lower taxes, we can do some other good things. but they have to -- they cannot miss that there's a larger cultural conversation. there's a larger cultural significance to what's happening here. that larger cultural significance can swamp 2% to 3% on tax rates and its long term importance. what you had here was the president of the united states gave a

inspirational words from governor john kasich.ng here thank you so much. >>> opponents who celebrated the president's decision to fire steve bannon may have p popped the champagne too soon. him saying quote in h many ways i think i can be more effective fighting from the outside. anyone who stands in our way we will go to war with. ending the sentence with a preposition notwithstanding. joining me now is ranking member of the house intelligence committee. good to see you as always. >> good to see you, jack jake. >> you tweeted glad to see bannon gone but the problem persists since the most profound cannot be fired. your position on president trump and bannon clear there. but let me ask you is there anyone else in the white house you think should not be there? >> you know there's slirn a lot of people in h the white house staff that shouldn't be there. people like miller and gore ca and others who not only i think represent the same thing that steve bannon did but aren't capable of doing the job well, so i think there's more cleani

no, you did not hear john kasich say a simple no. not challenge donald trump for the nomination. our own willie geist reported last week, sources close to john kasich tell me after charlottesville there is growing sense of moral imperative to primary trump in 2020. it seems the question is not will the republican challenge donald trump for the nomination, the question is how many republicans will challenge donald trump for the nomination. we'll be right back. well, what are you doing tomorrow -10am? staff meeting. noon? eating. 3:45? uh, compliance training. 6:30? sam's baseball practice. 8:30? tai chi. yeah, so sounds relaxing. alright, 9:53? i usually make their lunches then, and i have a little vegan so wow, you are busy. wouldn't it be great if you had investments that worked as hard as you do? yeah. introducing essential portfolios. the automated investing solution that lets you focus on your life. its witnessed 2 diy duos,s 31 crashes,: 4 food fights, and the flood of '09. it's your paradise perfected with behr premium plus pai

john kasich maybe not a surprising critic of the president but there have been others as well. many others, as i said, no defenders, the question though, is do you think these republican elected officials will treat the president differently now? has their relationship fundamentally changed with the president? >> if you look at a lot of statements tweets, right? from people like marco rubio, others who have tweeted, some of them are for one, reluctant to actually call the president out by name. t i think marco rubio did do that. others have been reluctant to do that. given the seriousness of this, which i think john kasich there, really articulates, this is a matter of public safety, this is a matter of of an american president giving aid and comfort to a group that wants to do great harm to other americans, given that seriousness, the fact that i think most of these republicans so far, have been fairly weak in h terms of their condemnation of the president. not even really condemning the president condemning his words, but nothing very personal in terms of president. you think

why would anybody think, and i have great respect for john kasich, i do.hey think he would have any more traction in two years than he had the last time around? you know what occurs to me following this presidency -- >> because the country is in a different place two years from now. >> people say they want moderation and leadership. they never really do. ask yourself when the sort of moderate milk toast candidates ever win anything. what people tell themselves -- >> only crazy wins. >> ran and won on that. that's what he said to the guys on the stage. the men and women on the stage, that's exactly what he said to them. don't go for me, go for. now the result is, i keep looking at this graphic today about this storm and i think that's the way we're covering politics now. is it a category 1 day for president trump, category 2 day or category 3 day. >> you know what, brett, maybe it's time to get courageous and say crazy doesn't need to win. >> good luck. >> i'm not saying trump is crazy. but in general, does it have to be extreme? how about being reasonable?

and by 2020 there could be a very big opening for john kasich in trump country. donald trump came in a close second in the ohio caucuses in 2016. in 2020, he might come in a distant second in the iowa caucuses in john kasich runs against trump on jobs in iowa. wright county, iowa, voted for donald trump two to one over hillary clinton, but some trump voters there are now very disappointed in the president because he actually fulfilled one of his campaign promises. >> i'm going to withdraw the united states from the trans-pacific partnership. >> donald trump actually delivered on that promise on his first week in office. one farmer in wright county, iowa, who voted for donald trump told politico, i was disappoint the trump kind of broadly wiped out tpp before there was even a discussion. iowa was one of the many agricultural states that was poised to win huge economic gains and jobs if the united states ratified the trans-pacific partnership. but that's not the story trump and other politicians told about the tpp. >> the trans-pacific partnership is another disast

listen. >> john kasich has been a vocal critic of president trump's and ran against him for the republican nomination. governor kasich, good it see you. good morning. >> pathetic, isn't it? just pathetic listening to this. >> so, we know how john kasich feels. the governor very clear on this. a lot of reaction from members of the gop and a lot of nonreaction and not a ton of lawmakers out there defending the president today. >> there are not people out that i can find aside from the white supremacist corners who are defending the way that he put these things last night. i mean paul ryan came out -- >> remarkable sentence. >> i think this is clearly, i think we are all grappling with what is a very remarkable period of time. look, i think republicans, in particular, are really grappling about what this means for a party that a lot of them love to call the party of lincoln. and, you know, michael steele has been a member of that party for a long time. and i think that you are seeing a little bit of parsing and some criticism from democrats of republicans who are not using the president's nam

i'll ask another republican, governor john kasich of ohio who has not ruled out taking on president trump in 2020. >>> plus the democrats, do they have a strategy against being against all things trump? can they avoid a culture war trap? joining me for insxit analysis are katy tur of nbc news, "washington post" columnist, from "the new york times," and the american enterprise institute. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >> good sunday morning. we are covering three storms today. one of them is president trump's pardon of sheriff joe arpaio and what we know he wanted to do. the second is the president's fight with his own party and we'll get to both of those in a few minutes. we do begin with hurricane harvey. once a hurricane, it is now a tropical storm but the worst is surely yet to come. devastating flooding is feared. as the storm is expected to linger over southeast texas for days. already a flash flood emergency has been issued for the city of houston. america's fourth largest city and residents are being urged to stay indoors. it is essentially a rain amounts with amounts to

purple state governors, democrat john hickenlooper of colorado and republican john kasich of ohio aree proposal. and joining me now to talk about that and more is the governor of colorado, john hickenlooper. governor, thank you so much for joining us. >> fwlad to be with you. >> so you're governing in a purple state. you're open to working with a republican governor. you've got a republican majority in your statehouse. how should republicans -- or excuse me, how should democrats in congress deal with the other side of the aisle? >> well, i think health care is an example where we have a real necessity to make improvements to the system, and no one party is going to have all the answers. and certainly the republicans if they do it just by themselves, early indications have not been favorable that the system will actually be improved. so i think the key here and what governor kay sick and i are trying to work on is to none straight that a bipartisan approach, and governing generally can be a little less bipartisan generally, but john kasich and i are working with other republican and de

campaign for the 2020 nomination, ohio governor and longtime thorn in the side of howard trump, john kasich, preseefing prominent mentions perhaps too prominent for corey lewandowski. >> we beat him by 19 points and not exactly a close race in the state of new hampshire. in ohio we beat him by ten, 11 points. john didn't support president trump and if he thinks he'll run against president trump i'll take the opportunity to destroy john kasich's career. >> jeff sessions, the attorney general had been taking a presidential pounding from trump out of frustration over the russian investigation affair. you know, the a.g. having to recuse himself on this matter. on saturday, however, the beleaguered trump's word, that's what the attorney general was getting out of this, but donald trump had said after many leaks going on in washington it was great to see the a.g. taking action for national security. the tougher the better. meanwhile, the investigation into possible ties between the trump campaign and russia grind on. this week's biggest headline coming courtesy of robert mueller. the special coun

senator tom cotton, governor john kasich said to be eyeing a return to new hampshire. too soon for that? >> it may be, but in today's politics, is it ever really too soon? this is a business, for lack of a better word, where you have to get your name out there and lay the groundwork. give him credit for starting to do that. who will be the candidate for the democrats? democrats probably would like to have someone that people are talking about. >> this is difference because you have a republican in the white house and these are republicans who apparently or allegedly discarding tradition and fundraising trying to urge people to back them in a campaign two to three years from now. >> absolutely. this shows there are significant challenges in the republican party, that there are issues between members of the republican party and the president himself. but, again, i want to reiterate, this is about whether trump will be there or not. a lot really needs to help with the mueller investigation before that happens. no doubt, for this to come out, it does not make things look g

heather: colorado governor and ohio governor john kasich urging law make toaster reach across the aisleove forward on health care. republican senator tom tells fox news, he's willing to try it. >> i still believe we are going to continue to work. we have to have a solution to health care. i'm willing to look at anything that may soften the blow as we continue to convince our colleagues of the other side in the aisle and some in own conference that we have got to fix the problem. i'm willing to look at what the democrats are willing to offer. heather: while he's willing to work with democrats, senator says that the senate can't, quote, nip around the edges of a failed obamacare platform. rob: happening today, the city of chicago filing a lawsuit against the trump administration for vowing to withhold crime-fighting money to sanctuary cities. heather: the department of justice is fighting back. kelly wright joins us with the latest on that. kelly: rahm emmanuel believes the trump administration is trying to coerce chicago to change sanctuary status and the city of chicago filing a lawsuit

. >> former senior advisor to john kasich, and managing director for mercury llc.ening. >> i want to ask you, this idea that you have a republican senator blocking the president for having the power to potentially fire the special counsel and yet the same senators saying, we want to stay focused on the issues and taxes and regulatory reform. isn't that impossible now? >> it seems to be very difficult. the president of the united states needs to treat this investigation like gravity. it's something that will happen. mueller has wide authority and not doing anything improper here. if you treat it like every time an apple falls from the tree and you shriek and you say, it's an unnatural act, that's where the distractions come in and takes you off your agenda. if you just continue to do the work that the people elected you to do, you will have more success. that's what the senator is trying to say. >> instituting more order inside the white house. haven't seen the president outside tweeting as much about the investigation, inflaming things. do you think this was a good

i think john kasich is already running a lot of this will depend on the hotly. -- economy. should the economy be in pretty good shape, he would be in pretty good shape to be renominated. doldrums, that is the biggest threat to an incumbent presidency. a lot of this depends on if trump policies are enacted. work?y it's too early for that to be known. host: this is virginia. caller: good morning. wondering, why do we have to give welfare to u.s. corporations for them to do the right thing and repatriate funds they have sitting overseas? don't they use the roads, doesn't the military protect them, don't they use the water supply western mark -- supply? shouldn't they do the right thing? guest: can you force them? that money was earned overseas. the tax rates are very high. we have the highest corporate tax rate. they have good as this reasons. their job is to maximize shareholder value. they would be going against that. thatu want to pass a law forces them to do that, i don't take that would work. follow other countries. if he wants to send the army out, good luck with that. h

ohio governor john kasich speaking out this morning on "today." >> pathetic, isn't it? commander in chief to embolden white nationalists during an impromptu press conference tuesday. >> you don't have any doubt about it either. >> reporter: president trump reigniting widespread anger repeating his controversial stance that everybody shares responsibility for this weekend's dedeadly violence in charlottesville and not just the white nationalists who organized it. >> you had a group on the other side who was very violent and nobody wants to say that. >> reporter: unscripted and defiant. the president repeatedly calling out counterprotesters with a term he dubbed the alt-left. >> what about the fact they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs. do they have any problem? i think they do. >> reporter: and he denied a moral equivalency between white supremacists and the far left. even though many marchers carried nazi and chanted antisemettic taunts. the president defended rally atte attendees. >> i've condemned neo-nazis and many different groups, but not all

. >> ohio governor john kasich, last man standing in the republican presidential primary said let's getl. there is no moral equivalency to nazi sympathizers. there can be no room in america or the republican party for racism anti-semitism hate or white nationalisism. period. and jerry moran said, white supremacy, bigotry and racism have absolutely no place in our society, and no one especially -- >> john mccain tweeted there's no moral equivalency between racists and americans standing up to defy hate and bigotry. the president of the united states should say so. and let's take a look at what the always petty president of the united states had to say today about john mccain when the subject of steve bannon came up at the press conference and the president was asked if he has confidence in steve bannon and john mccain was mentioned in that exchange. let's listen to that. >> -- called on to you defend your national security adviser mcmaster against the task -- >> diit the last time. >> he called on you again. >> senator mccain? >> right. >> you mean the one who voted against obamacare? yo

i think john kasich is involved in some wishful thinking there. there's no evidence president trump will change. there's no evidence he cigarettes what he -- he regrets what he said or regrets the general style of talking about domestic issues that we have heard from day one through the campaign. so i think in phoenix you're going to hear exactly what you expect. and there's no pivot ever coming. this is our president. this is how he speaks. and the administration, they want to carry out a military strate strategy. republicans who want to reunite the country i think are going to have difficulty because that's not what this president wants to do. >> we've been waiting for the impact of general john kelly. we'll see it not tonight but probably tomorrow night in arizona. we'll talk to you more about that in about 30 minutes. thank you. >> thanks. >>> cnn will have special live coverage of the president's address at 9:00 eastern time tonight. that's followed by an exclusive town hall with house speaker paul ryan who did not take on the president by na

there are so many doubts over the current president that republicans like tom cotton, ben sasse, john kasich and even, yes, mike pence, are quietly planning a run in 2020. now, if you're watching this show on friday, neil ran through a number of accomplishments that the white house has been pointing to in its first six months whether it be job gains, stock market gains, all that kind of thing. so our question to follow up on that given that this article has been written, was or is the president being counted out way too early? to start us off, charlie gasparino, fox business correspondent, here in the studio from. the independent women's voice, heather higgins, also here many our new york studios, and are from "the hill," editor-in-chief bob cusack from d.c. heather, there's been so many articles written even during the campaign that it's all over for donald trump, and although there have been moments where i think most of us would agree things have been messy during this -- [laughter] first six months -- you stay out of this gasparino -- [laughter] >> sorry, i just laughed. connell: preside

thank you. >> thank you. >> by the way john kasich said no okay that was his quote when asked if he wasing to run for president in 2020. this morning in one of sunday's shows no okay? that was his answer. our live coverage of the flooding in houston is continuing this morning. we are taking a look at the federal disaster response so far with homeland security chairman and texas congressman mike mccall. he's next as we look ahead on "sunday morning futures" right now. finally. hey ron! they're finally taking down that schwab billboard. oh, not so fast, carl. ♪ oh no. schwab, again? index investing for that low? that's three times less than fidelity... ...and four times less than vanguard. what's next, no minimums? ...no minimums. schwab has lowered the cost of investing again. introducing the lowest cost index funds in the industry with no minimums. i bet they're calling about the schwab news. schwab. a modern approach to wealth management. what was the worst thing don't you get lonely? have you ever killed anybody? ♪ what did you think when i asked you these questions? i had never met a

and john kasich, weighing in with this with a tweet, just a short while ago. let me read it to you. it says, "i've repeatedly encouraged potus to unite our country. it was disappointing that last night in phoenix he once again refused. after all, what greatness has america ever accomplished by tearing down its own. we must all unite for a common goal, a stronger america." much of the president's problems seem to come up when he goes off script, if you will. here today, he is expected to read from prepared remarks. there is two teleprompters -- there are two teleprompters in the room but we've seen many times in the past where there have been prompters in the room and prepared remarks and the president goes off script. but today, he is expected to read from prepared remarks to thank veterans for their service and their sacrifice, and he will call for unity. he lbdwill say, in part, it is e to heal wounds that have divided us and to seek a new unity based on the common values that unite us. we've spoken to a number of veterans before they headed into the event to get their sort of tho

and i think john kasich is racing himself to be that person. you can imagine a ben sasse being that person. i do think trump's behavior is moving forward some kind of serious party challenge among republicans who just do not want to vote for him a second time. >> primary challenge for a sitting president. we are a ways away from that. who knows what could happen before then. great to see you guys. my next guest an fbi agent who infiltrated the hate group. do president trump supports agree both sides are to blame for charlottesville. >> and steve bannon says he wants the democrats to be talking about racism every day. 'saved money on motorcycle insurance with geico. goin' up the country. later, gary' i have a motorcycle! wonderful. ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪ geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. over the course of 9 days sthe walks 26.2 miles,. that's a marathon. because he chooses to walk whenever he can. and he does it with support from dr. scholl's.

ohio governor john kasich said this -- >> pathetic, isn't it, pathetic listening to this and hearingse marchers. the president has to totally condemn this. this is not about winning an argument. this is about the fact that now these folks will go other places and think they had some sort of a victory. there is no moral equivalency between the kkk, neo-nazis and anybody else. >> and in a rare move by military leaders, all five u.s. joists issuing condemnation -- joint chiefs issuing condemnations of the hate groups. president trump remains defiant even as he stays out of public view. >> we're told the president is moving forward without regret. two white house sources they say don't believe the comments will result in long-term damage. one telling jeff zeleny this is not a disqualifying moment for this president. >> low bar. >> exactly. >>> america's ceos disagree and are abandoning the ceo president. at least eight executives quit trump's manufacturing council. a response to his remarks on charlottesville. and just a second -- just as a second economic strategy council was about to d

in the case of john kasich, more than one.is no question that it's sort of the bench, the republican bench gearing up, being ready, understanding that in politics it is all about timing, and the time may come when you least expect it and you got to be ready at any time. certainly barack obama is a key lesson for any politician in that story there. so that is going on, and again, it is not so much that they think that maybe they'll challenge president trump in a primary for 2'22. they see the tumult in the administration, and they just don't know what's going to happen because things are so unusual. >> it lays bare that there is no fear of donald trump among their fellow partisans. the timing of this, yes, dana is totally right. these are the kinds of moves that you would expect people with visions of their future to make, but the fact that it's six and a half months into a young administration says they fear no retribution at all and that gives in to his weakened political state at the moment. >> thanks very much. we'll be rig

joining us now are colorado john hickenlooper and ohio republican john kasich. governor, i want to start with you, the two of you have joined together in an effort to try to fix the health care problem that in washington so far congress has not been able to fix. there are lot of plans for fixing health care is this a problem of people not finding the right plans or political problem? >> i think it's more a political problem. the key here what governor kasich and i have been talking about get a bipartisan group of people together, include some governors, the people who have to implement these plans and look at how do we stabilize private markets. how do we deal with these, look what they have been doing but there's some basic remedial steps that can improve our health care without throwing everything out the window. >> dickerson: governor kasich, one of the ways that you build a bipartisan agreement is one side gives up a little, the other side gives up a little. we've seen in washington both sides say they don't want to give up much of anything. give me your sen
