let's go back to karl rove, who is standing by. carl, you had interaction with james, when you were in the bush and administration. take us back to that debate that was pretty heated involving attorney general john ashlock and how it sort of affected the way you viewed the current -- no former fbi director. >> lets at the background. there was a critical national security information collection program that needed to be periodically revised and revisited, renewed and attorney general had to sign the renewal period and attorney general ashcroft was ill and in the hospital unbeknownst to the white house. he was so ill that the had been passed to comey as acting attorney general. cosmo the hospital and says we need to reauthorize the program, send andy and alberto gonzales over to you. he says come on over. when they show up, there is comey who says ashcroft is so ill that he's not going to be able to sign this renewal and if you force him to re-sign the renewal, it will be bigger than watergate. it'll be bigger than the saturday nigh

in just moments, we'll be joined by karl rove and general jack kaine on the impact of th the -- keene on the impact of the america first policies overseas we begin with rich live in the nation's capitol. hey, rich? >> reporter: president trump says his first overseas trip is a success and maintains he's delivered big results. perhaps one achievement is prompting european leaders to look to one another instead of the united states. trump has promised to push europe to contribute more to its own defense. last week he as previous democratic and republican administrations chided nato countries to spend more on their defense and meet on agreed guidelines. european leaders now say united states is less reliabilit reliability -- reliable. german chancellor angela merkel says we must grow stronger. >> the times in which we can fully count on others are over as i've experienced in the past few days. that's why i can only say we europeans must really take our destiny into our own hands. of course, in friendship with the united states, in friendship with great britain, with good neighboring rela

sandra. >> sandra: here now to help us understand the fallout from the first trip abroad, karl rove. former senior advisorad to president bush. let's get back to those words from angela merkel. at the times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over. we europeans must reallyly take our destiny into our own hands. how do you think president trump's america first message was perceived or received by these european leaders. >> we should be careful not to make too much of what has just been said. we shouldn't ignore the implications of it. president trump during his campaign took a lot of -- he ridiculed angela merkel's immigration policies. she has an election campaign of her own. we oughtwe to be a little bit careful reading too much into what he said during his campaign and what's she saying during her campaign. on the other hand, we have to be careful that this doesn't get worse. i thought president trump made an excellent point when he went to saudi arabia and said the alliance for jordan, egypt is vital to our interests and vital to yours. it's even more critical allia

bush, karl rove, is here. at house judiciary committee member trey gowdy will join us moments away with all of their reactions to this. but we begin tonight with chief white house correspondent john roberts, who joins us at the white house. john, a busy night once again. >> oh, my goodness, martha. let me walk into the genesis of all of this. "the new york times" broke the report about a quarter after five this afternoon, i will keep monitoring my phone for the latest breaking news. about a quarter after five, back in february, the president held in over office meeting with a group of his advisors, the attorney general jeff sessions was there, as was the fbi director. as that meeting wrapped up, the president asked the participants, with the exception of james comey, to leave, and a comey wrote a memo, according to someone who was close to him and "the new york times" reporting, in which he said it that the president said to him that lieutenant general michael flynn, the former national security advisor, had d

stuart: karl rove is itching to go at the far left, aren't you?o nominate a bunch of lunatickings, and that increases -- lunatics, and that increases the chances -- >> you're talking about '18 or '20? >> we will see, i think a bunch of what you call lunatics will win. stuart: do you think in 208 you've got a good shot at getting the house by? >> i do, yeah. stuart: why? >> donald trump. stuart: that's it? >> midterm of a first administration puts the other party in power. stuart: has trump lost his base? >> no. but there are 23 members of the house of representatives, republicans who represent seats won by hillary clinton, and there are another roughly dozen where trump had a narrow victory. and so the question's going to be how good are the republican candidates in those districts and how strong of campaigns do they mount, and do they have a credible democrat running against them or a lunatic? stuart: on the other hand, there are, what is it, ten democrat senators up for re-election next year who come from states which were won by donald trump. >

karl rove, thank you for coming in. melissa. >> you bet.amid all the drama president trump spent afternoon with a meeting with his key turkish counterpart to fight terror. >> i look forward to working with president erred dough gaun achieving -- erdogan, achieving, peace an security in the middle east and working towards shared threats and working toward dignity and safety for all of our people. melissa: this comes amidst strained relations between the two nations. u.s. refused to extradite a turkish clerk living in pennsylvania who they claim orchestrated erdogan said organize ad coup against him and militias helping with the fight against isis. this is one of those relationships that is so dicey. david: right. melissa: they're having this meeting. people say you shouldn't have this meeting, you can't trust this guy. other people say we have to find a way to work with somebody in the region. david: amidst with all this craziness, these are real world concerns and they affect americans fighting abroad and affect europeans subject to terrori

and just moments, we'll be joined by karl rove and general jack keane on the impact of the america first policy overseas. but we begin tonight with correspondent rich edmond life in our nation's capital. >> good evening, sandra. president trump says his first overseas trip as a success. he maintains he has delivered big results, perhaps one achievement is a prompting european leaders to look to one another instead of the united states. united states. trump has promised to push europe to contribute more to its own defense. last week, he, as previous democratic and republican administrations, chided nato countries to spend more on their defense and meet agreed-upon guidelines. they say it seems as though european leaders now leave the new united states is less reliable. germany's chancellor angela merkel says europe, as a result, must grow stronger. >> the times in which we can probably count on others are somewhat over. as i have experienced in the past few days. and that is why i can only say, we europeans must really take our destiny into our own hands. of course, and friendship with un

strategist karl rove.ston, mit professor jonathan gruber, one of the architects of obamacare. one of the big criticisms of the house plan is how it would treat older americans who don't qualify for medicare and how it would treat people with pre-existing conditions, professor what is the problem there? >> jonathan: the problem is that for older americans their health insurance is very expensive and obamacare that is dealt with deliberating how much they could be charged for younger people and the tax credits that could limit the percentage of income they would pay for health insurance. that all goes away under the house alternative. the medicaid expansion goes away so for the elderly they don't have access to health insurance, a tax credits become black tax credits, not income based so the elderly have to pay much more for their health care insurance. basically you have a system which is not as protective of those people. >> chris: let's talk about both aspects of this, democrats are now saying the fact th

karl rove joins us.his has been talked about today, the early voting in montana. how much weight are you putting on the theory that the only reason he won was because there were early votes that had already submitted. >> i don't put much tonight it would have been better if he had not body slammed the reporter. if he had to win the early voting by a very significant margin if he then lost election day and that doesn't appear to be the case. cheryl: somebody who has dedicated his life to the republican party, does it trouble you what you saw in montana? >> a little bit. last fall, the incumbent republican won by a margin of 56-41. and points to the libertarian. gianforte is not an incumbent. he got 56%. the democrat received $6 million in campaign contributions. so the republicans dropped 6, but that's not a lot if you are looking at zin kentucky being an incumbent. the democrat upon gained 3 despite the fact he had the entire weight of the bernie sanders wing of the party pouring money into the left and

former white house chief of save karl rove praising spending bill for stopping something that presidentama started in his term. >> under president obama, for every will do dollar you wanted to increase in defense spending you have to increase in -- spending. the increa in defense spending is 7 times as a percentage. it is 15 billion dollars additional for defense. it is twefer 12.2 for homeland security we killed the obama rule. liz: liz peek is joining me now, good to see you, karl rove makes some points here about this bill about defense spending increased and border security budgets largest increase about 42 billion. nearly 94 billion for war on terror, is the president right or democrats? who won? >> well sort of disheartening we talk in terms of winning and losing. but that is what the democrats are doing on this bill. look, somebody got -- basically conservatives did not get everything they wanted, in particular no funding for the wall, that is what the democrats are focused on. but conservatives ended up with a big increase in defense spending which president trump wanted and a b

to karl rove on what he makes of that. the snickering over the top. what did you make of it, karl? >> i don't think it was snickering. i think it was being chagrinned. this is a moment that it was carefully staged to honor the article 5 of the nato treaty which says an attack on one is an attack on all to unveil a monument of 9-11 in which nato invoked article 5 for the first time in defense of the united states. it's like this is a message that three previous presidents that i'm aware of have delivered to nato. nobody has delivered it in such a public way. i think they may have been chagrinned at being called out publicly and they may have been chagrinned it happened at this moment. >> neil: that didn't look too chagrinned to me. i believe and as you said, honoring that commitment, the attack on one nato member is a tack on all. the president is there for this event and honoring this event. keeps that understood. i understand a concern during the campaign, but i do find when i look at this list of those that even as of this day are not keeping up, that's worrisome for this whole n

ashley: and you know what, karl rove just referred to that. he said let's fight some accomplishments here on the home front. so let me ask you this. is the way the administration, the trump administration handling these questions of russia, are they doing a good job? or do they need to push back more strongly with a more pointed response? >> yeah. i think it's clear that they've done a terrible job thus far because they talk about it too much. most americans don't care about the russia story as much as the media seems to and traditionally throughout his candidacy, donald trump was good to talk about things that americans did care about, swat away stories that the media was trying to inflate or prop up that weren't really relevant to most people's lives. and i think that he needs to tap into that same kind of insight that he exhibited on the campaign trail and needs to swat away a lot of these russians accusations, and i think he needs to hire a more effective, you know, speaker at the podium. i think that he needs to get rid of sean spicerwho

strategist karl rove, bob woodward from "the washington post," julie pace who covered the white houseand josh holmes, mitch mcconnell's former g.o.p. strategist. bob, there's obviously been a lot of talk this week about parallels between this and watergate. the president firing a man who was leading the investigation that could potentially take him down, shifting stories, now the suggestion about a possible taping system inside the white house. obviously there are big differences and the biggest is that we knew early on of a crime having been committed and watergate, we don't know that so far. as someone who was on the front lines of watergate, what are the similarities you see this week and one of the big differences? >> there are a lot of questions. i was fascinated with what senator warner had to say. i think he adopted this position of we will give the president the benefit of the doubt, but he then raised about ten questions, which i think need to be answered. this is not yet watergate. not a clear crime on the russian issue. said, there are a thousand questions and they should b

karl rove joins us now, fox news political contributor and deputy chief of staff to president georgeh, good to have you here. interesting exchange on a number of levels with bernie sanders and nick mulvaney, what'd you think of that? >> i thought it was a pretty sharp exchange edit reflected the attitude in washington. if the cbo says that the republican plan is passed that 23 million people will lose their insurance coverage. how can 23 million people lose their insurance coverage if obamacare is repealed when only less than 11 million have gotten coverage under obamacare? what the referring to is 23 million people will not sign up if obamacare is repealed. the estimates from the cbo have been very, very bad. here are the cbo estimates for what enrollment will be this year starting in february of 2013. at 26 million people will be enrolled this year. the next year they said 24, they repeated that in march of 2015 and in march of last year, they said 15 million people will be enrolled in obamacare as a result of the law. what was the reality? the actual number is just over 10 million

karl rove former white house chief of staff to george w. bush and fox news contributor. ome to you, karl. the president has been quiet over this past weekend. many wondered why you go to new jersey and lay low, which really has not been the pattern and perhaps now we see why. this tweet from two hours ago. james comey will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job bringing back the spirit and prestige of the f.b.i. with that as a foundation, karl, why did he make this call? >> well, there are two narratives. the narrative that i think is most reliable is that on the 24th of april rod rosenstein is confirmed as the deputy attorney general through whom the f.b.i. reports. he has -- comes into office with concerns about the way that comey handled himself. he takes two weeks. he obviously reading from his letter discussed this with the attorney general jeff sessions and then frames up a letter which he sends to the attorney general yesterday that i think is well argued. points out there is bipartisan concern that comey overstepped his role as the f.b.i. director. i

here is karl rove, a former advisor to president george w. bush, anne marie hart, a former obama state spokesperson. carl -- what do you make of all this. these two bombshell reports and add on news that james comey will be testifying in this open session sometime after memorial day? >> first of all, while disagreement with john roberts who said "the washington post" story did not echo what the two british newspapers did and suggest it's jared kushner. i disagree with him. the only white house official, current white house official, who is named in "the washington post" article is jared kushner. they didn't say he was the subject of person of interest, but they used his name. let's be clear about this, though. person of interest in investigation like this means it's somebody that the fbi wants to talk to. there is a big difference and a long distance between that and being the subject of an investigation. and an even bigger distance to be the target of the investigation. i think "the washington post" story is a little bit overblown. of course

we spoke to karl rove about an opportunity to turn the page. you get the wind in your back when you come to the united states and get off twitter, stop talking about russia and focus on the agenda. do you agree or disagree? >> carl is correct. this is an opportunity to change the narrative, he needs to come out with many successes that he already has with this agreement being signed right now and show he has done something with israel, the vatican and the g-7. that is something the president and his team could turn around and say this investigation is going on, we are focusing on real issues, they don't care if there is a special counsel but whether the cost of healthcare gets lower. they care whether people are going to be safe at home. that is where the president needs to show he is working. >> he uses his twitter account to go around the media. the new york times and washington post release two stories as air force one was taking off, time to make sure this scandal doesn't go away. what should be his strategy to get beyond an opposition part

the republicans are talking about, the pool for preexisting conditions, and states, according to karl rove, states can not get a waiver to not cover preexisting conditions. >> absolutely. he's 100% right, and cover it with a high-risk pool if you got the waiver. this is a myth. liz: journalism malpractice by msnbc and cnn when they don't have the journalists asking the questions and reading the bill. the democrats are attacking the bill without reading it and so are the journalists. i've tried to read through what they're doing and trying to stay on top of it. have you news about aetna and how much aetna has pulled out of the obamacare exchanges. >> that's a point that really echoes the point president trump has been making which is that obamacare is going belly-up anyway already. united healthcare went from 34 exchanges they were involved in down to 3. okay? that preexists trump's presidency. aetna went from 15 down to 2. delaware and nebraska. now zero. the news isn't the way it's sold by the democrats or some of the other media outlets that somehow instability in the markets because the

there is no karl rove in this administration. >> i'm not saying that.he speaks to you on a regular or semi regular basis. you have said that's not true. >> i don't think that's what he said. a while. i'm not sure how you define that. beyond that, i won't characterize private conversations. chris, i'm a memo writer. there are ways to communicate besides the telephone. donald trump is a reader. i'm a loyal supporter of trump. i believe he can be a transformation transformational president. i understand his idiosyncratic style. he wasn't in office for three years. he hasn't been a student of the beltway masinacions. >> he says he hasn't talked to you in a long time and we know that's not true. it raises questions. he is not telling the truth about this, then how do we believe him? that is why we bring it up. i don't understand why the president and people around him get in the way. >> that is a question you have to direct to the president. >> boy, would i love to. he is invited on the show on a daily basis. it would be helpful for the coverage to have the

is, you know, i worked in the white house when there was an investigation into scooter libby and karl roveu and freeze you up and change a debate from what you want to talk about to russia. and we've had dni, fbi, cia and no, no conclusion. paul: on bill's point that trump sometimes is his own worst enemy in this thing, the story about trump having asked dan coats and i think general rogers is it, the head of the nsa, please go out publicly and vouch for the fact that there was no collusion. you can't do that when you're president, ask those advisers to do that. and his general counsel should have been in the room telling him you can't do that or -- and been in the room when he asked them. >> yeah. paul: and this is the problem with this president, because there's no self-discipline there to try to say, look, i want to try to contain this probe and this damage. instead it's i'm innocent, and he blurts things out that only create another week of stories. >> right. yeah, normally a president would be sitting with his advisers in the oval office and say why can't we get directors of national

cameron, she is here, he former deputy chief of staff to president bush and fox news contributor karl rove jim grey going to weigh in what is is it with tiger woods dui arrest yesterday morning. >> president trump meantime back in washington after first trip abroad as commander in chief, the administration looking to push fared reform be expedite reports accusing kushner of ties to russia blake burman at the white house with the very latest. good morning. >>. reporter: good morning to you president trump back at the white house from first foreign trill continues to bat down any russia related stories already up and tweeting writing out the following quote, russian officials must be laughing at u.s. how the lame excuse for why the dems lost election has taken over fake news latest from "new york times" says that congressional and federal investigators looking at jared kushnertl president's son-in-law top adviser at the white house contacts in december with you a russian banker, kellyanne conway on "fox & friends" this morning would not comment on that story. only to question the source. >>

karl rove, fox news political contributor and former president george w. bush's chief of staff. and marie harf, a fox news contributor. andy, i want to start with you, if i may. good to have you here tonight, sir. what do you make of these latest subpoenas? >> if you don't issue a subpoena unless you have a good faith to believe the documents exist. we have heard and other reporting that they have been exposed to some intelligence and uncovered some masking. the suggestion is that it leaves three officials, rice, brennan, and power, are involved in the unmasking. bryce, we have already heard about. brennan, it wouldn't be unusual for him to be involved if there were unmasking decisions because what we call the intelligence community is about 17 agencies. it's really only three of them who do the actual collection of intelligence. the nsa, the cia, and the fbi. they generally make the first cut. the other ones make the decisions about unmasking. so, that is something the cia would be involved in. the peculiar thing, obviously, a samantha power. her job is really diplomatic. she's

but he should have, in my humble opinion, been the karl rove in that white house instead of the chief of staff. two and a half years in, jimmy carter realized he had to appoint a chief of staff and appointed ham and ultimately applied jack for the last year of the presidency. that was when jack showed as you mentioned at the outset he was an outstanding white house chief. >> i think, jack, in your transition planning you have a smaller role for hamilton, didn't you? >> no, that is not right. i wrote it as part of the transition materials. they were covering national security and environment and government reorganization and economic policy and development policy and so forth. the particular piece of it i wrote myself was organization of the executive office of the president. chris was right when he said the ham was a brilliant strategist. he wrote well and was savvy in the political realm. ham and jody, jody was the best white house press secretary that i think a president has ever had. i don't say that lightly and i don't say that because i haven't looked at others and i don't say it

ham was the most brilliant political strategist who came down the pipe but he should have been the karl rove, in my humble opinion, in that white house instead of the chief of staff. two and a half years in, jimmy carter realized he had to appoint a chief of staff and appointed ham as you know, long story, but ultimately appointed jack for the last year of the presidency and that was when jack showed as you mentioned at the outset that he was an outstanding white house chief. >> yeah, i think jack in your transition planning, you had a smaller role for hamalson >> the transition materials were covering national security and environmental and governmental reorganization and economic policy and develop policy and so forth. he wrote well. he was a savvy thinker in the political realm. he had written that iconic memorandum for governor carter two years before he ran. ham was the closest to the president. ham and joedy. -- jody. i think ham is one of the best. in my opinion there has never been a better press secretary than jody powell. i don't say they lightly. i remember it was going to be an i

political strategist who ever came down the pike but he should have in my humble opinion been the karl rove in that white house instead of the chief of staff and 21/2 years in, jimmy carter realized he had to appoint a chief of staff and appointed ham as you know, long story, but ultimately appointed jack for the last year of the presidency. .. as part of the transition materials, the transition materials were covering national security and environmental and government reorganization and economic policy, development policy and so forth. the piece i wrote what the organization of the executive office of the president. a word about him. chris is absolutely right when he says that ham was a brilliant strategist. he wrote well, he was a savvy thinker in the political realm. he had written that iconic memorandum for governor carter two years before he ran, for outlining how he would do it. so, ham was the closest person to the president among all of us, ham and jody. jody was the best white house press secretary, i think, that a president has ever had, and i don't say that lightly and don't say
