john kelly and rod rosen steste.publish a statement saying what it is their position on this is. so far, kate, they haven't said a word on this. they have not put out any statements that he offered to resign to john kelly. that's what we are waiting to hear. this wasn't the biggest thing on the president's mind over the weekend. he was much more focused with the kavanaugh drama surrounding the supreme court pick. which we heard him talk about at the united nations this morning. rod rosen stein was not at the top of the agenda. what they were going to do and what his position was going to be and whether or not he was going to stay on in this administration. right now this concern and confusion over whether or not he resigned, been fired, what is happening in the meeting with john kelly is what we are trying to find out. he offered to resign to john kelly last week. >> offered to resign so the status of his employment, we could have having an update very soon. seeing if the deputy attorney general is arriving. i keep w

kellie: i read all of the sections. [laughter] kellie: my question is, given that these allegations have been around and judge kavanaugh has gone through other confirmation process, have you ever heard about this issue at all? i wonder why it did not come up. senator patrick leahy: i am just referring to what we have seen in the press. i have not heard about this before. greta: is it appropriate that senator feinstein at this moment, a week before the senate judiciary committee is going to vote, makes public this letter and asks the fbi to investigate? senator patrick leahy: it is not the fbi, i thought it was the people who did the background check. whoever it was, what would be inappropriate is if she had the allegations sent to her and did not ask somebody look into it. greta: but she has had it since july. senator patrick leahy: she is usually very careful, and acts with integrity. i think about what would happen if there was an allegation and after a confirmation, somebody said, by the way, we ought to ask about th

john kelly is in an interesting position here. he could be the one who would be having the conversation with rod rosenstein right now. there are questions about kelly's role in the administration, whether he is a strong chief of staff by most accounts. people say he is not. now he is going to potentially tell rod rosenstein, the guy who was in charge of the special counsel investigation, you are out of a job. do you think robert mueller might be interested in that potentially? maybe. that puts a lot of people in the cross hairs of this special counsel if, in fact, he does look into what happens next. and so i think that we can't -- there's a lot of times when we are blown up on cable. this is a big deal. this is a big deal if it ends up happening. and i'll say one last thing. the reaction from republicans and democrats on capitol hill. so they're already getting staked out by every capitol hill reporter to get reaction to kavanaugh and the new accusation against him. now the question is if, in fact, rod rosenstein is out of a job,

>> i totally disagree with that, so do general kelly, general mattis and other people that have come out to push back on quotes attributed to them. i think general mattis' denial was relevant for what he denied and also what he affirmed. in denying that he would ever use con temp use language against the elected commander or tolerate it in the very last pentagon that he oversees. he also affirmed his commitment to the successes in the defense and national security space that the this president has achieved. general mattis mentioned that the isis caliphate is all but gone. he mentioned that the pay raises the first military pay raise is quite a while, that defense policies are received honorably and applicably on capitol hill. there are tremendous differences, tremendous gains. i think the president's consternation probably derives from the fact that we always have a handful of sources and this is like the fifth consecutive book where it's basically a few people. >> why should we take your -- why should we take your word for that? you say -- you said five books, i will go with we had

we obviously don't know what happened this this meeting with john kelly. think the thing we do know for certain is this relationship between rod rosenstein and the president and john kelly is untenable in its turned situation. if rod rosenstein is going to stay in his job, something will have to be resolved. he can't keep living in this situation expecting to be fire and expecting to have to resign because of the unssht is creates. it seems like at the very least, there was an toast get a handle on these things. the current situation has been untenable. >> we know when the "new york times" story came out friday, rod rosenstein came out about the possibility he said this department happen, but the possibility of wearing a wire because he said he is in these meetings with the president and i will wear a wire and we will have a conversation about removing the president. that was the times reporting and other reporting he was being more facetious or tongue in cheek. we don't know who was in the car and we are keeping track. then friday he issues a statement. j

what does he say when he sees general kelly, if he sees general kelly? what does he say when he meets with general mattis whose quoted as saying he has a fifth grade or a sixth grade understanding of the world. you know, it's just mind-boggling. i don't know how one operates in a white house like that. and this -- you have to believe this can only blow a much larger riff between the president and those around him, and it contributes to my concern which is it appears as if the president is hurtling towards some sort of wall, that, you know, i fear that we're going wake up in the not too distant future, and you're going to see, you know, mass firings and mass pardons because he seems to be increasingly unhinged. i don't think this book is going to help. >> yeah. people, you know, members of his cabinet, members of the people around him, his advisers removing documents from his desk so that he doesn't sign them and just depending on the idea that he'll just forget about them, gambling on the deal that he'll forget about them. we're going talk to carl and gl

this is not john kelly's group of 12. it includes people who would be very unlikely to take a risk like that, like budget director nick vulvaney. or all section aczar who is new to the job. and even though white house counsel don mcgahn has been in big fights with the president, he is very busy these days trying to get brett kavanaugh confirmed to the supreme court. don mcgahn probably wouldn't want to be anywhere near the possible legal can of worms the op-ed piece opens up. so of the 12 officials who did not do what donald trump wanted them to do today, we are left with three. dan coats, jim mattis and kellyanne conway, who denied authorship of the article, but they did not condemn the article. they did not condemn the author of the article, and they did not condemn "the new york times." now, viewers who were with us last night know that i worked through an elaborate process of elimination and analysis of the text of the article to end up with dan coats as my educated guess. and it was only a guess as the most likely au

kelly may be a little more complicated than that. there's a part of kelly that's very combative that believes in much of what the president wants to do and at the same time general kelly has made clear to many, many people in the white house that he sees his job as protecting the united states and the world from a rash and unpredictable and reckless president and dishonest president of the united states. >> all right, i want to play something. at a certain point i don't care as much about whether or not bob woodward, who he asked to get the interview with the president or not but listening to the president on the phone. >> his style, his delivery. his courtship. >> listen to this. >> i certainly don't mind talking to you and i wish i could have spoken to you. but you know -- but nobody called my office. you went through different people. >> senator graham said he talked to you about talking to me. is that not true? >> senator graham mentioned it quickly on one meeting. that is true, that is true. mentioned it quickly, not like -- and

crazytown is the phrase that general kelly used. i know you have been on the receiving end of the wood ward book. a, do you believe he has credibility issues as the president is claiming and b, just the portrait of this white house, i'm wondering how it compares and how much it alarms you, smb someone who actually worked in the obama white house. >> let me deal with the credibility issue. it is preposterous to assume that all of these stories and all of these sources are concocted by bob wood ward to present a negative portrait of this president and has been pointed out, many of the anecdotes square up with things reported elsewhere although not this detailed. i don't think there is any question. no book of 479 pages is are inially impeccable. you may have some nits to pick here and there, but the portrait is stark and i think thoroughly credible. what it paints is the picture of a white house which is like nothing we have ever heard of. carl can speak to the end of the nixon presidency in which nixon was in a state and there were p

kelly painting a damning portrait of the west wing and the man occupying the oval office. cnn obtained a copy of the book yet to be released titled "fear." and what is described in the 448 pages, well, i said it last night, i'll say it again, there's a lot. top aides spending their day trying to circumvent the president ignoring orders, hiding information, even swiping documents from the president's desk and that is really just the tip of the iceberg. according to the deeply sourced book, kelly goes to -- goes on to describe trump as an idiot, unhinged, and off the rails. defense secretary james manus describing the president as having the understanding of a fifth or sixth grader. trump's personal lawyer john doud describes the president as an f'ing liar and they describe the president as obsessed with the media. it may explain why the president sought out a website to do damage control. his statements predictable saying it may have come from disgruntled employees or just made up. adding, also, it's just another bad book. woodward had a lot of credibility problems. here's

i'm joined by admiral james kelly. i'm really worried about the detachment of this white house to issues of great concern in the world. i'm really concerned about advisers who don't trust the president because we're in a dangerous world right now where wars can actually be triggered. >> absolutely, ali. i'll give you two thoughts in that regard. the first is one that concerns me, and it's how does all this look outside the united states? in other words, how are our allies, friends and partners perceiving this and not viewing them with a lot of confidence, not making them feel like they want to jump aboard on our initiatives and important things. >> not knowing whether to believe or trust what america's pronouncements are on what's happening around the world. >> exactly, ali. that's a concern. second is our opponent. this is emboldening vladimir putin. he feels stronger and more important about what he will do in ukraine. they see a weak presidency as a result. and thirdly, it's a possibility the propensity for that ter

>> the chief of staff kelly. i talked at some length about -- and he literally put out memos telling people we have to have a process. general kelly didn't even know there was a meeting on steel tariffs. >> so we're going to have much more with bob woodward straight ahead. we're going to bring in kasie hunt and the president of the council on foreign relations richard haas. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. so, i have this recurring dream. i'm 85 years old in a job where i have to wear a giant hot dog suit. what? where's that coming from? i don't know. i started my 401k early, i diversified... i'm not a big spender. sounds like you're doing a lot. but i still feel like i'm not gonna have enough for retirement. like there's something else i should be doing. with the right conversation, you might find you're doing okay. so, no hot dog suit? not unless you want to. no. schedule a complimentary goal planning session today with td ameritrade®. with my bladder leakage, the products i've tried just did

kelly. mr. kelly yes. mr. holding. mr. rice. ms. soule. chairman brady. chairman brady aye. . >>> the clerk will report the vote. >> 21 ayes -- >> are there any other amendment? mr. larson, for what purpose? the gentleman has an amendment at the desk. mr. reichert. the clerk will district the amendment and i ask the gentleman to suspend while the clerk distributes. >>> the gentleman from connecticut is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, this amendment is directed and designed to protect social security and medicare. nothing in the underlying bill can take effect. mr. chairman, i think throughout this process today amidst a lot of the sadness we've heard about process. it's a shame that in this committee that oversees social security and my dear friend and colleague mr. johnson who has a bill and i have a bill have never even had a hearing in the last two years. that being said and having criticized our colleagues for not paying for a lot of these tax cuts for the ultra wealthy, turns out i was mistaken. they will be paid for by forcing
