host: that's kellyanne conway. when it comes to her role in delivering that message, she does more to help, 28% said that. 40% said that she does more to hurt the president delivering that message. 24 people said they weren't familiar with kellyanne conway. when it comes to delivering a message and effectiveness, what do you think these key people that the president has employed? we'll start offline for democrats, duchess county, new york, rob you are first. what do you think? caller: thank you for c-span. good morning. horribly ineffective these people. they're horrible. kelly ann. -- kellyanne conway. i can't imagine the president wouldn't have more smarts to find people that are better, more down to earth, more verbal, more able to -- unfortunately more able to defend him in such a way, whereas to hide his frailties. his insecurities, his gaffes. they should be able to cover for him and speak to the issues -- we've had, even over the years i don't remember all the name going back obama, george w. bush they had s

. >> kellyanne conway this morning all but asking, what is this twitter you speak of. anything about how important twitter really is. it would be sure nice to get their take on it. >> donald trump's social media platforms are a very powerful way for him to connect directly with people. >> he has a following of 45 million people that follow him on social media that he can have a direct conversation. >> it's a very effective form of communication. i'm not unproud of it, to be honest with you. >> i like the fact that president-elect trump feels free to go and tweet and get his views out and talk directly to people. >> he's able to very quickly set the agenda. >> when he tweets, he gets results. >> i know some people don't want him to tweet, but i'm glad he does, because he does get the opportunity to get right out there and say what he feels. >> why wouldn't i use it? it's a great way to get a message out. >> so is presidential tweeting a great way to get the message out, a great way to set the agenda, a powerful way for him to communicate and talk to millions of people,

. >> you heard kellyanne conway say, they have to come to the table. >> on january 4th, they passed this reconciliation bill that said, we don't want democrats. we have sent ten letters saying, sit down with us. we can improve obamacare. if you stop doing this repeal, which is trump care, highly unpopular with the american people, we'll sit down with you and make it better. last week, i asked mitch mcconnell, let democrats and republicans all together, all 100 of us, let's meet in the old senate chamber and discuss it. no. they want to try it themselves. if they fail, they'll hopefully stop sabotaging obamacare and sit with us and hopefully make it better. >> are they going to pass the bill? >> i think it's 50-50. as democrats, we're doing everything we can to fight this bill. it's so devastating to the middle class. i think they have, at best, a 50-50 chance of passing this bill. to get three senators to vote no. you can probably say yes, you can say no, it's probably 50-50. but the bill is just devastating. that's what's making it so hard for them to pass it. here's what it does. it ki

you heard kellyanne conway, you heard senator schumer.s there a way for senator mcconnell and president trump to come up with a bill that you and senator paul with support? >> it's certainly going to be very difficult. for my part, i'm very concerned about the cost for insurance for older people with serious chronic illnesses. and the impact of the medicaid cuts on our state governments. the most vulnerable people in our society and health care providers such as our rural hospitals and nursing home. most of whom are very dependent on the medicaid program. so threading that needle is going to be extremely difficult. >> you heard kellyanne conway say those are not medicaid cuts. what is your response to that? >> i respectfully disagree with her analysis. this is why we need the congressional budget office assessment of the impact of the senate bill on costs and coverage including its analysis of medicaid. and that will be coming out tomorrow. but based on what i've seen, given the inflation rate that would be applied in the outer years to t

. >> kellyanne conway this morning all but asking, what is this twitter you speak of.ouldn't it be nice if they ever said anything about how important twitter really is. it would be sure nice to get their take on it. >> donald trump's social media platforms are a very powerful way for him to connect directly with people. >> he has a following of 45 million people that follow him on social media that he can have a direct conversation. >> it's a very effective form of communication. >> i like the fact that president-elect trump feels free to go and tweet and get his views out and talk directly to people. >> he's able to very quickly set the agenda. >> when he tweets, he gets results. >> i know some people don't want him to tweet, but i'm glad he does, because he does get the opportunity to get right out there and say what he feels. >> why wouldn't i use it? >> so is presidential tweeting a great way to get the memg out, a great way to set the agenda, a powerful way for him to communicate and talk to millions of people, or as sebastian gore cust said and kellyanne conway

kellyanne conway's husband george who tweeted something.had a breitbart staffer fired for a tweet. we have had some journalists recently fired for tweets. i think we cannot underestimate what twitter is doing to politics right now. it really is the modern day statement. and you cannot dismiss it as social media. it is the way you communicate today. >> since you brought up kellyanne conway's husband had, who was up for a justice department position, withdrew his nomination, he tweeted out this. they may make people feel better, but it won't help the office get five votes in the supreme court. sad. from a legal view here, could trump's tweets impact this executive order? this travel ban? >> it's a good question. i can only imagine the level of exasperation among the president's lawyers at the justice department. which he directs and where they serve. he is making an increasingly already difficult case increasingly difficult to defend. lawyers sometimes have defiant unruly clients who are their own worst enemies, but it has to be special to ha

. >> and with that, let's bring in the counselor to the president, kellyanne conway. kellyanne, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you, george. >> we saw the president concede that he called the house bill mean. he sent out a tweet saying that he wants to make the senate bill really special. so what makes the senate bill less mean than the house bill? what more does the president need to do to make it more special? >> so, the senate bill would do several things that obamacare failed to do. last year, we had 6.5 million americans play close to $3 billion in taxes to the irs just to opt out of obamacare. that's in addition to the 20 million overall who opted out. 6.5 million were forced to pay a tax penalty. those people, instead of paying taxes to the irs, could use that money to purchase health care. in addition, premiums were supposed to down. they have more than doubled. choices were supposed to expand. they've been reduced. we have 83 insurers leaving the exchanges last year. two dozen more promise to leave next year. choices have been reduced in five sta

and kellyanne conway went a step further. here is what she said. >> these are not cuts to medicaid, george. this slows the rate for the future and allows governors more flexibility with medicaid dollars because they're closest to the people in need. if you're currently in medicaid, became a medicaid recipient through the obamacare expansion, you're grandfathered in. we're talking about the future. >> michael shear, what do you make of all that? >> that's an interesting comment by kellyanne conway. it shows that it's plain that the comments this white house wants to make are inconsistent with the actual bill itself. it shows how difficult it is for this white house to navigate the kinds of things sarah and ron were talking about. this is a difficult, complicated piece of legislation. when you're out there making promises that ultimately aren't going to be kept because it's impossible to see that people, some number of people won't lose coverage. if it were to pass in the future, those kinds of comments can come back to the whi

kellyanne conway has been noticely more vnotice more visual. she was out on the "today" show again berating the media, donald trump's favorite thing to see his aides do. we saw that on full display in today's briefing. any word from the white house in response to kellyanne conway's husband's tweet about how donald trump is making it difficult to get five supreme court justices to side with him? >> reporter: i -- not specifically, i mean, you did see there was that original tweet then he sort of went on a more strained version of the trump tweet storke where m, i d support this president, deeply support his policies, i deeply support his agenda, i deeply support my wife. the reason i'm saying this is because what the president is doing is undercutting his own agenda, so kellyanne conway's husband sort of pitch or the way he couched it was he was sort of speaking from love and maybe a little bit in disappointment. >> tough love. >> tough love. but i have to say, who knows what the president's reaction to that will be, but the president does not l

when kellyanne conway would not rule it out this morning, i sort of went, wow! look, we don't know if the president will try to block james comey from testifying. what we do know is that it's not a definite no right now, and to me, that seems significant. >> it is significant, john. it would be a major decision by the president. it would be extremely controversial, where he could try to block him. i think it would probably lead to maybe some sort of court action about whether the president waived his right to invoke executive privilege, just as we heard from joe johns. there is a question about all the tweeting around what the president himself has said. is he really going to be able to legally block somebody else from describing what happend when he himself has put out his own version? but i must say, i think it would be a terrible mistake for the white house to invoke executive privilege. they ought to look back to what ronald reagan did when he was in the midst of the iran contra crisis, and that is -- and he was being accused of all sorts of things. there wa

i would quibble with some of those comments from kellyanne conway.are covering the air traffic control announcement today. our whole chain of 30 newsrooms are eager for more information about the infrastructure plans that trump past. i think it is a matter of degrees. the russia investigation, comey's hearing. these are issues that cannot be ignored. i have a hard time feeling -- believing that kellyanne conway expects that we will not cover those things very diligently. i think this is a part of an offensive that the white house is going on. and it is a valid one to raise those issues. of course it takes up a lot of oxygen, but these are the issues of the day. trumps tweets reflect that. >> jon: judy coming into -- in your view, are they sucking all of the oxygen out of the room? >> well, competing for space with donald trump's own tweets. and his own efforts to undermine his own administration and agenda. every time for kellyanne conway and sean spicer tried to refocus attention on something that the white house is actually doing, donald trump come

you heard the exchange with kellyanne conway on "good morning america." two points, matt lewis to you, the white house is not ruling out or hasn't decided yet on executive privilege. what does that tell you? >> well, i think they're obviously very concerned about what james comey might have to say. i've sensed an attempt by the administration or by some surrogates of theirs to try to sort of impeach him and put him on trial. and that could be one strategy. another strategy would be to simply try to prevent him from testifying. you know, as was mentioned earlier, that's sort of tough to do. he doesn't -- he's no longer the fbi director. invoking executive privilege is a little more complicated perhaps. and on top of that, when president trump has talked about it and tweeted about him and so to now try to shutdown that conversation, which is a valid question, the american people have a right to know this information, so i suspect that he probably will testify. >> to matt's point there, kellyanne didn't seem prepared for the executive privilege question and

george conway, who happens to be kellyanne conway's husband, he reacted to mr. trump's tweets by noting how difficult the tweets make the job for the administration's lawyer, the officer of solicitor general, or osg to defend the travel ban before the supreme court or scotus. conway tweeted these tweets may make some people feel better, but they certainly won't help the solicitor general get five votes in the supreme court which is what actually matters. sad. this george conway tweet is significant. it's a direct criticism of the president from a close ally. george conway is saying tweeting might make you feel better, mr. president, but it is hurting your agenda, and it's frankly just the latest example we've witnessed of people who care about president trump trying to get through to him to start acting more rational and restrained. now, why do it the people around president trump have such a difficult time getting through to him, to cease what they themselves on background describe as self-destructive habits. one thing is clear. whatever his team has tried so h

here's kellyanne conway about it this morning. when asked about it, she answers instead about something else. >> what's the white house's response to this? >> the president has said previously, and we've got confirmation now from jeh johnson, from adam schiff, dan coats, jim comey, mike rogers, that there's no evidence of collusion, number one. and number two, this didn't have an impact on the lectelectoral results. >> we know that, as well. what about this new reporting, that there are three dozen high level officials that say they can connect president putin with given instructions that hacked the dnc computers and to plant fake stories. what is the current white house doing about this? >> well, alison, the president has said previous, and he stands by that, that he would be concerned about anybody interfering in our democracy. we saw a lot of people interfering with our democracy by saying he couldn't win here alone. >> against russia, what is he doing to try to stop this? >> i realize we just like to say the word "russia, russ

strikingly, the husband of kellyanne conway tweeting about this today. let me read you what his tweet was -- >> reporter: a rlly stunning comment there from the husband of kellyanne conway. he was eyed for being brought into the administration. so sense that's going to happen at this point in time. clearly some within the legal community concerned about the tactic that the president is taking as he tries to defend his travel ban. >> without a doubt, making it much more difficult for the justice department. thanks to both of you. i want to bring in michael schmidt, a reporter for "the new york times." i want to play the london mayor's original comment and how president trump attacked them on twitter. let's listen. >> just like terrorists are constantly evolving, finding new ways to disrupt us, harm us, attack us, the police and experts and all of us are finding new ways to keep us safe. londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. no reason to be alarmed. >> so you hear what the mayor says, and then the p

listen to this, kellyanne. >> we're okay.now is not the guy we knew two years ago. >> no. >> somebody at the top of his campaign last summer said to me we're all really worried about his emotional state. steve: that's kind of the tenor. they are worried that the president of the united states may not all be there upstairs. >> it's incredible to watch people play armchair psychologists, ridiculing the president's physicalities, his mental state, calling him names that you wouldn't want your children to call people on the playground. you would punish them for doing that all of a sudden, faining shock when he wants to fight back and defend himself. and hopefully change the conversation. because the conversation right now is a one-way conversation of toxicity. a lot of these people on tv do not criticize his policies. they do not criticize his actions and his beliefs. they criticize him. the office of the president and its current occupant. and right behind me in this white house, the president every single day is fighting for al
