you heard from karl rove. he wants to see, it following the revelation itself was actually rice who allegedly made several requests to unmask the names of trump officials, something karl rove said you wouldn't need to do if the cia is not calling for, it if intelligence officials are not calling for, it why is the white house calling for it? remember when she said this a few weeks ago about the investigation. watch. >> i know nothing about this. i was surprised to see reports from chairman nunes on that count today. i really don't know to what chairman nunes was referring, but he said that whenever he was referring to was a legal, lawful surveillance, and that it was potentially incidental collection. trish: doesn't know anything about it, remember when she made the rounds on the sunday news show blaming the benghazi talk on a youtube video? the liberal media not reporting on any of that. there are credibility issues at stake here, clearly with ms. rice, fox news contributor steve cortes joins us along with th

i want to bring karl rove into this. multiple best selling author. the quick summary here is that this poison's well, whatever they're calling it, karl, means that this is the way legislation will go. this is the way cabinet subpicks will go. this is the way everything will go. democrats on one side, republicans on the other. this is the new reality for the time being. >> yeah, it is. that's unfortunate. this view that a president is due his cabinet nominees absent some major character defect or ethics problems, that is going away and went away almost totally this time around. the idea that a supreme court nominee should not be given an up or down vote, passed out of the judiciary committee and should not be given an up or down vote, we've never had a partisan filibuster on the floor of the united states senate of a supreme court nominee that's been successful till now. the first time we had a serious effort of a partisan filibuster was 2005 and it was led by the young new energetic senator from illinois, barack obama who attempted to deny sam alito a

karl rove is with us. yes, karl rove is there.were there or not. is there any great significance to this, that theyl have play the nuclear card and go to 50, 51 votes to confirm him? >> yeah, there will be. first of all, it's a sign of the continuing deterioration of partisanship in the senate. the democrats who spoke so vociferously against doing judges, supreme court judges on 51 votes, you know, today were opposed to that before. and, you know, look, it's a sad day when the senate gets into these kind of knots. a guy who was appointed to the 10th circuit court of appeals with a unanimous vote in the senate is now the subject of a highly partisan, divisive vote for the supreme court. it's unnecessary, it's inappropriate, and democrats will regret the day this happened as will, at some point, republicans. stuart: i think the democrats will regret it if there is another vacancy that emerges in president trump's first term because next time around, there'll be known of this 60 votes required, it'll be 51, and you could be replacing

sam, the bushes -- and i don't mean this to be in a demeaning way to karl rove.istory. the bushes kept karl rove in his place. >> yep. >> he never mistook himself for being president of the united states. he knew he was a staffer. a great michael dever quote. i loved ronald reagan. i never once forgot i was a staffer for ronald reagan. steve bannon has never seen himself as a staffer. >> or kellyanne. >> or kellyanne. >> this is totally true. it's not just reporters who are spun. you showed a tweet from congressman steve king where he basically called steve bann. n a linchpin for donald trump's support structure among conservatives, which is absurd. trump made it through the primary just fine without steve bannon running the campaign. somebody who would push back against this narrative or at least clamp it down. if trump had hired more people acustomed to washington, how washington worked, you wouldn't have an outside personality taking all the credit for an agenda that rightfully hasn't gone anywhere anyway. steve bannon has filled a vacuum here. it's very abnor

reader and read all the time and would read 65-90 books a year and was in a reading contest with karl rove and they are serious books about history and biography. president trump is a big consumer of cable news and he often reacts to what he hears on cable news. so knowing what a president is taking in is important for figuring out who they are and approaching things. president obama, they said he watched so much espn that people in washington would advertise on espn so they could be sure president obama would see the ad. what a president takes in is really important for not only how you influence them but understand how they think. host: you write about a challenge that's faced american presidents for two centuries works do they wish to be men of the people or higher understanding, which trade is more helpful to getting reacted or for governing and can a president summitly handle both qualities? how does he share his opinion to the culture and communicating he has the character to hold the highest office in the land? tevi: thanks for the careful read. that's the essential question i'm get

karl rove will analyze.e in a moment on that next. >> shannon: the search continues for the cleveland killer, the latest on the manhunt for that murderer next. >> what happened on easter sunday was traumatic. it was traumatic to the godwin family but to cleveland in particular but social media this has gone all over the country. time's up, insufficient we're on prenatal care.es. and administrative paperwork... your days of drowning people are numbered. same goes for you, budget overruns. and rising costs, wipe that smile off your face. we're coming for you, too. for those who won't rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. optum. how well gets done. >> bill: fox news alert. this is major news out of london. british p.m. theresa may called for an early election. might give opponents another chance to stop brexit or may not. she is betting it will give her more support. this is what she said hours ago. >> you have criticized the government's vision for brexit and challenged our objective and threaten

bannon doesn't have that. >> by the way, the bush family always let karl rove know what karl rove's position was. like mike deaver said ronald reagan was great, i enjoyed working for him. in my years working for him there wasn't one day where i wasn't reminded i was staff. that's what you need in the white house. fox ho, being in the room with mcmaster, foreign policy teams, tough guys, deep thinkers, experienced thinkers, disciplined leaders and then looking back at his domestic team and seeing spicy there and bannon, he's probably like, oh, yeah, no. i'm sorry, i think he's going to see a contrast and think he needs deep thinkers on the domestic side as well. >> trump carries less about that brand of populism than his approval rating. if steve bannon is not going to shepherd him to approval ratings he wants, he's not going to stay with steve bannon. >> president trump is disavowing more simplistic policy statements on the campaign trail. there's more instances where he's saying, wow, who knew health care is this complicated. wow, after ten minutes briefed on north korea by the chinese pres

now, remember, bush called karl rove "turd blossom."it is possible that weird (bleep) might be his nickname for donald trump. we don't know. hey you're (bleep). (bleep). it's hard to believe a former president would say that of an incoming one, but the comment was witnessed by three people. three people. wow, that's almost half of trump's inaugural crowd. ( laughter ) ( applause ) >> jon: oh! >> stephen: i saw the pictures. you see the pictures. we saw them. we saw the pictures. enough politics. let's think of something happy. let's crack open the smile file the grin bin, the chuckle cabinet, and get some light news. ready for some light news? "the washington post" reported that "spiders could theoretically eat every human on earth in one year" so if trump isn't impeached, at least we have a back-up plan. ( laughter ) ( applause ) this is eye don't like spiders. i'm not a big-- this is upsetting news. mostly because it gave newspapers a reason to print closeup pictures of spiders. it's the same reason i don't like headlines about steve

essentially what karl rove was it's important to note that neither in serving on the principles committee that's why it was so controversial when bannon was moved up there. i think it's a a e reflection of the trump white house now with some of the political folks so close to national security council. >> the president called theed chemical attack a a front to humanity saying he's changed his mind on the leadership there. is trump leaving the door open to new action in syria? >> yeah, we have to wait and see on b what kind of moves and efforts the trump administration and the white house in the days and weeks ahead. what i will say is this is a reversal from a week ago when members of the trump administration were saying they are okay with assad staying in power and not saying he's an l illegitimate leader of syria. today's comments criticizing the tragedy and the deadly attack on chemical weapons in syria was a noticeable change. he really didn't give any specifics on whether this is necessarily going to change the policy going forward. so i think really have to wait and see in the days

students are mimicking karl rove, sharing fearful messages about pence on white boards.s disgusting. first, they wrote it in english. writing such messages in english is an act of message. why must the boards be white? do they have a problem with black boards? what message are they sending? white boards are superior to black boards? these punks should be expelled. after all, the school's mascot is called the fighting irish, not the weepy snowflakes and it's a leprechaun like me. >> i was waiting for that. >> you wanted to insult me but i got there first. i knew you were going to do it. >> the size? >> the complaining about commencement speakers, we see it all the time. it's funny. pence reflects the values of the college. he reflects the values of the college. you're a hypocrite saying you don't want him there while going to the damn school. >> right. i know. maybe because they like the movie "rudy" and they said i want to go to notre dame and didn't realize that -- >> great film. >> it is a great film. >> a catholic university. >> another little guy. >> capable of big t

. >> dana: you liken it to the bush straight and karl rove. it's nancy pelosi. the other side. at the same time and to your earlier point about does it matter to regular people, i don't think there's an idea about ideology and whether he's being pulled one way or the other by insiders is what people are interested in. they elected -- i heard you say this earlier, they elected a man knowing that he's very flexible idealogically. >> where do you think i got that line, amy? i knew i should have credited you. you said that today. he doesn't have the voting record that he has to worry about, that maybe i'm not inconsistent. >> that's right. that's what voters are looking for. they were able to tlut the c -- throughout the campaign, he says he's going to fight for you but outsourced jobs. he says he's a successful businessman but he had these bunk -- bankruptcies. for partisan republicans, established republicans, said i don't know about this populism or nationalism but i like the other stuff he's saying. maybe we'll see that in him. that's what they want. they want t

the role karl rove played is vastly different that be the role that valerie jarrett played as seniornd now when you have this role that ivanka trump is playing, i think that it is -- it's evolving. she's engaged with the innovation of the white house and that new task force that they are doing. she's heavily involved when it comes to women's and entrepreneurial issues especially with girls in s.t.e.m. i know that it's multiple different things and different avenues that she's doing and that's why you have a senior adviser role because they are not like other roles in the white house where there's a strict defined chart on how you're supposed to do the job. it's open-ended like that, and the other point i want to make is this. the qualifications should not be put into question. ivanka and jared are highly quality. both jared and valerie jarrett came from real estate management development companies. nobody questioned her credentials and the fact that these people are being questioned just because their last name happens to be trump or because he is married to a trump is uncalled for.

the guy in front of me got the karl rove fuzzy headed trump on -- shrimp on the whiteboard. they had the general flynn's's chicken. i find it a little slippery. and they're also running a special with a side of bought and paid for steaming susan rice. so there was a lot ofou intermingling between the political people and the chinese food. >> bill: i know you're a world traveler. have you been to china? have you been there? >> is japan part of china? >> bill: no, it's across the sea of japan. >> i've been to japan and some of it once that was china and i said i don't think so. >> bill: two separate cultures. now, china is a very still communist place outside of hong kong, a free enterprise zone. shanghai, beijing, they want money. warren buffett is the ultimate capitalist, the ultimate guide guy billions of dollars on, he mild say tongue would've. warren. now he's on the coke bottle in china. do you think they believe he is someone else. he looks grandfatherly. >> he is a sexual god in china. he is a sexual god. his name is the all that of omaha. it might not be the oracle of

been lambasted by "the wall street journal" editorial page, dan henninger wrote about it today, and karl rove a op-ed, said bad excuses for republican fratricide, was the headline. >> and the other thing is, look, in terms of donald trump trying to bring the freedom caucus in -- like i say, in the short term this might be be doubling down on beating them up -- but what's the alternative? this idea of working with democrats,? look at nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, they want to stop health care reform at all costs. they want to leave obamacare in place, they don't want to give him a victory on tax cuts. so if the alternative to the freedom caucus is nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, i've got news for you, it ain't gonna work, so he is going to have to come back to the freedom caucus. maybe split 'em in half, split 'em in pieces, he's got to work with them. dagen: real quick, do you think they get health care done and infrastructure spending done this year? >> highly unlikely. at least a trillion dollars for infrastructure, where's that going to come from? some of the cuts that the president want

this is the democrat equivalent of karl rove saying -- his name popping up. susan rice herself is a story. it's controversial. the other thing is, nobody is arguing the unmasking. they're arguing about the dissemination of it. how did we know about the flynn phone call and who was it that told the press about it? that's the felon. >> we should point out, nunes is saying the information he saw had nothing to do with russia. i'm assuming that wasn't the flynn conversation. >> but you know, that's also important. on unmasking, you only unmasking when it's a matter of national security or high important. it appears that this was going on for over a year and it had nothing to do with russia or national security matters. i think there's a heck of a lot of questions now that are going to be offered -- asked on both sides. >> van jones, what do you make of what the congressman said? >> well, first of all, i just can't understand what the problem here is. she's the national security adviser. her job is to give advice. in order to give advice, she has to have informati

there was you, karen hughes and karl rove. we've talked about this befor but it seemed everybody made sure there were clear lines of authority. and then he besides stwopg the president, the buck stopped with you. it seemed fast that wasn't taking place the first two and a half months of this administration. perhaps are we seeing it now? >> i do think the chief of staff should be empowered by the president to have the responsibility for managing time and process at the white house. and i don't think that reince preebs has been given as much authority as the chief of staff should have. so that's an invitation to play there an inappropriate way in the system. and i think you're seeing the fallout from that. i think it is always reality that the team has come together but they didn't have the been if it of spring training. they went right to the major leagues without understanding if they could even get along. so it's not unusual to see changes taking place. even in the first 100 days with the people working in the white house. ma

we talked to karl rove.ed about tenor and tone and said president trump should slow it down. he said i don't think that's possible, but listen to carl. [laughter] >> act more presidential. he has bought himself unnecessary controversies by tweeting, by picking a fight with is meryl streep a good actress or not. this fascination with punching down at the new york times and cnn and msnbc, it's, it's puzzling to me. he's the president of the united states. he ought to be focused on looking ahead. eric: do you think he will be looking ahead especially, scott, in the crucial next 100 days? >> well, we've been -- all of us, i mean, all of us have been waiting for donald trump to pivot. that pivot isn't coming. it's who he is. i made a list this morning thinking about some of these issues in regard to what i believe to be very limited accomplishments, and then i said, well, who are his enemies or who has he been fighting with? they are the judiciary, they are the press, the fourth estate, they are his own party, th

enough of the top story, reaction from karl rove, and the making any mistakes here?> i think you're on the right track. and it's important to point out, washington pundits set up a false choice between pragmatic politics and humanitarianism. but it's not that clear cut. we always in any individual conflict have to find the right balance. now, we cannot be the world's policeman in. but we have to be the world's referee. calling fouls and imposing penalties if necessary because no one else can do it. >> bill: china could do it. russia could do it in. they have enough military might to deal with the war criminals but they won't. >> but they are. they are the war criminals. but i think you also have to follow couple of basic rules. one conflict at a time. you can't do everything at once. so right now, i am concentrating on the issue of weapons of mass distraction in syria. see where that goes because if we could make an example of assad, if they're real penalties that reverberates with the other tyrants. >> bill: i'm not sure about that. >> it does. some more than others

joining us from austin to analyze, karl rove. former senior advisor to president george w. bush.ou'll remember in the days, in the years, actually, after the bush administration ended, president obama used to blame president bush for everything. dan if it rained, that was president bush's fault. it got a little bit tiresome. is it fair, i think, in the first 90 days, six months, to compare and look to the previous administration? >> it was tiresome, as you say, when barack obama did it. frankly, i think president trump would be well advised to stay away from it because it will quickly become tiresome if he does it, as he did today.ru look, he is right. a lot of what we are facing today is a direct result of failed policies under barack obama, whether it was a reset with russia that failed, allowing russia to play a bigger role today than it should. the iranian nuclear deal, the withdrawal of troops from iraq that allowed isis to spread, the attempt of the zero option in afghanistan, we could go on and spendbo a whole hour talking about that. having said that, though,o it doesn't

rove right? did both sides have some concern here? >> i think karl'she "wall street journal" is on point. he is making a lot of smart points in that piece. i will say that i believe the democrats have a lot further to go because it's hard to just be the party of opposition and really anger and hate against president trump and his leadership and what he is doing to change america's view around the world. i think that we have -- we saw on tuesday in georgia results that were good for the republicans. we had 11 republicans get a total of 52% of the vote. really, the democrat candidate really his ceiling is 48. that's what he got. i think with voter intensity going to be down in june on the election day in june will be down somewhat. i think we're going to be able to win that election. >> bill: he performed a point better than hillary clinton did in november and spent $10 million in a congressional district. the fact he was 1 point, 3 points better than november. is that something that we're hanging on with too high a level of -- >> it is. i'll be honest.
