kellyanne conway senior counsel to the president from the white house. good morning to you. i have a long list. >> another slow news day here. >> bill: i have a long list. paul manafort, how closely is the president watching this trial that begins today? >> we haven't discussed that in quite a while. i would note for your audience, bill, that the judge has very strictly instructed no mention of paul manafort's role in the trump campaign, no mention trump, russia or collusion. this trial obviously centers on matters that have nothing to do with the campaign. i think that even mr. manafort as i read it had requested that there be no mention of his brief tenure at the trump campaign several years ago. i believe there is one witness that -- there may be one matter of somebody whom he has gotten a loan from in exchange for a job on the campaign. that's just what i read. i was the campaign manager for the winning part of the campaign. i won't be brought up on federal criminal charges of any type. i certainly wasn't making money in ukraine or talking to anyone in moscow. that's ver

>> judge, it's outrageous and kellyanne conway is absolutely right. the idea that senator like blumenthal can besmirchk the memory of the people who suffered in world war ii and the people who suffered in the holocaust. this is outrageous. almost half a million americans died in world war ii. 3,000 on september 11. this is what you are accusing the president of doing? like this is 9/11? this is lunacy. >> jeanine: what is it based on? what is it based on? >> i will tell you what it's based on. i'll tell you what it is based on. the fact is everybody was in the tank for hillary. everybody. from james comey, to andrew mccabe. thought hillary would win. >> jeanine: read my book about that. >> congratulations. i'll be there. the fact is for 70 years. the soviets and the russians have been doing this and the left couldn't care less. the media couldn't care less. they only care now because trump won the election and they are still psychologically unable to absorb the fact he is president. one more thing, judge. f.d.r. and truman met with stalin behind close

kellyanne conway, good to have you on the show, thank you. coming up, michelle malkin and florida attorney general cam bonn di. boy the way, don't forget to buy a copy of my book on amazon or barnes and noble, "liars, leakers and liberals, the case against the anti-trump conspiracy." i have it, but it's not of the yet. the question is, is this real or just a cover. e-mail me. go on facebook, twitter, insta grachl the is it a real book or not? more hannity after the break. we came here for the friends. and we got to know the friends of our friends. then our old friends from middle school, our mom, our ex and our boss joined forces to wish us happy birthday. then we discovered our uncle use to play in a band. and realized he was young once too. and we found others just like us. and just like that we felt a little less alone. but then something happened. we had to deal with spam, clickbait, fake news, and data misuse. that's going to change. from now on, facebook will do more to keep you safe and protect your privacy. so we can all get back to w

>> judge, it's outrageous and kellyanne conway is absolutely right. the idea that a senator like blumenthal can besmirchk the memory of the people who suffered in world war ii and the people who suffered in the holocaust. this is outrageous. almost half a million americans died in world war ii. 3,000 on september 11. this is what you are accusing the president of doing? like this is 9/11? sheer lunacy. >> jeanine: what is it based on? what is it based on? >> i will tell you what it's based on. i'll tell you what it is based on. the fact is everybody was in the tank for hillary. everybody. from jim comey, to andrew mccabe.. thought hillary would win. >> jeanine: read my book about that. >> congratulations. i'll be there. the fact is for 70 years, the soviets and the russians have been doing this and the left couldn't care less. the media couldn't care less. they only care now because trump won the election and they are still psychologically unable to absorb the fact he o is president. one more thing, judge. f.d.r. and truman met with stalin behind clos

i'm not sure how much bill shine or kellyanne conway is driving this. he's listening to himself, we see that more and more every day. >> i don't give trump too much credit, but i give his opponents less credit figuring out how to defeat him. >> reuters is reporting that russia is playing coy on the d.c. meeting. the kremlin was saying this. they mentioned opportunities at multilateral summits. how desperate is the white house to see vladamir putin, to welcome vladamir putin at that 18-acre complex? >> that's a question you have to separate the president from the white house. our understanding was with the yt of a followup summit between the two leaders existed in general terms before the president even departed for helsinki. but what happened was, the reason it sort of happened on thursday last thursday when it did, was the president was incredibly frustrated with all the negative coverage, all the blowback he was getting about the first summit. he woke up. he called john bolton and said, you though that thing we talked about, that possible meeting? why

kellyanne conway is today's headliner. will join us at the top of the hour for more on the president's pick, trip overseas and more to talk about with kellyanne. come on back now. 19 minutes before the hour. >> his opinions will stand the test of time and the president has made, i think, an inspired choice choosing what most people regard on the right or the left as probably the most qualified person. but does psoriasis ever get in the way? embrace the chance of 100% clear skin with taltz. up to 90% of those with moderate to severe psoriasis had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. most people were still clearer after one year. with taltz, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. don't use if you're allergic to taltz. before starting, you should be checked for tuberculosis. taltz may increase risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection, symptoms, or received a vaccine or plan to. inflammatory bowel disease can happen with taltz, including worse

i did put that question you raised to kellyanne conway. is the president walking back his walk back? take a look. >> president stands with the intelligence community. said that he knows russia meddles ld in thmeddl meddled in the election, but you say it swung an election result, but you have no evidence, which i guess is why you moved on. also important to note are the range of issues that president putin and president trump discussed. >> kellyanne, is the president -- >> to syria to the middle east. >> why hasn't he -- >> why hasn't he denounced him? >> if this was simply a slip of the tongue, why wasn't this the initial response from the white house? >> the president looked at the transcript. he said, wouldn't, not would, a double negative. >> reporter: a lot of tough questions for kellyanne conway. of course, peter alexander asked the president yesterday if he would condemn vladimir putin. he ignored that shouted question. the president is going to get more questions later today. he is going to have that cabinet meeting. is he in a moo

i tee he with kellyanne conway in that sense. >>> as our coverage continues all of you will be with uss much as you can. >>> up next, trump live at a tampa rally campaigning for ron de santis who is running for florida governor. wait until you see the trump mini me. >> ron loves playing with the kids. >> build a wall. >> and a longtime republican says it's time for her party to call for trump to step down. >> former governor christie todd whitman is out front. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? i'm a small business, but i have... big dreams... and big plans. so how do i make the efforts of 8 employees... feel like 50? how can i share new plans virtually? how can i download an e-file? virtual tours? zip-file? really big files? in seconds, not minutes..

i think it's a very reasonable request. >> from kellyanne conway.went on to say the civility that you call for in your broadcasts should start here with reporters at the white house. this from a counselor who has referred to reporters as enemy of the people, routinely calling reporters fake news. are we hearing anything more from the white house on this issue today, kristen? >> reporter: i think everyone here is sort of in terms of white house officials reiterating what you heard from kellyanne conway. officials here feel as though it was reasonable to ask kaitlin collins, the reporter in question, to leave and then they failed to disinvite her from the following events. other news outlets have said that cannot stand. it was routine behavior. she was in the oval office. she was with the pool, which means she was representing all of the reporters. she asked a series of questions, a lot of them relating to michael cohen relating to the tape we all heard overnight, michael cohen having a conversation with then candidate trump about a potential payout s

we have a packed show for you tonight, counsel dwroor the president, kellyanne conway, congressman darrellssa, governor mike huckabee, and turning points u.s.a.'s candace owens with the most of outrageous comments of the week. how was your week? mine as you might have heard was quite eventful. and a message for whoopi goldberg on what happened in "the view" this week coming up later in the show. every week i do an opening statement on whatever it is that has me fired up. this week take a look. >> the dgp under obama was barely one, we are going up to 4. >> i think it's important, 89 the% of the republican party, he has huge popularity. if democrats don't get their you know what together -- >> here is my question for you. >> did you just point at me? i don't have trump derangement. let me tell you what i have. i'm tired of people starting a conversation with mexicans are liars and rapists. i'm tired of people starting a conversation about this country. i'm 62 years old. there have been a lot of people in office i didn't agree with. but i have never ever seen anybody like this. i have never

white house has not officially reacted to the reports but one of the president's surrogates kellyanne conway has tried to play down the importance of the news saying that things don't change overnight she was echoing earlier statements by a secretary of state compay old the american foreign minister who had sat that the nuclear rising north korea and getting rid of the threat from its long range missile program would not be a quick achievement and that both the government and the public had to have patience he had but of course is not what donald trump said after his summit with kim jong un as we've said and in a treaty pointed out that everybody now can feel safer than the day i took office there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea unquote that was on the trumpet only a few weeks ago you also said great progress was being mined that was obviously a slight overstatement his critics probably this evening feel vindicated you know they've said that he's being taken for a ride i mean has ministration has he just completely misread the intentions of the north korean leader. at least it

. >> harris: i am curious to get your point of view, kellyanne conway said there is a whole lot to talk about with regards to russia even moving forward. she talks about policy points currently but also what's coming down the pipe. is there too much focus on what was said? this is just a question, and not enough focus on what needs to be done. >> one of the difficulties and not having anybody else in the meeting is the national security guys are not coming out and talking about what it was, we are having to take the president's word. i support his prerogative doing that but that's one of the difficulties now, it's his word against people on the left that don't believe a word he says. there are so many issues. you have north korea, syria, i hope we don't cut a bad deal on syria. we have all these massive issues. i equate the relationship to our prison guard for jeffrey dahmer. you can have a relationship with him as his prison guard but don't be his friend because he's a really bad guy and that's a situation i think we are in with vladimir putin. >> harris: let's slow down, i am taking n

white house, counsel to the president kellyanne conway. it's great to have you back here on "america's newsroom." can you confirm a meeting late on sunday night with the president and brett kavanaugh? if so, was that the clincher for this nomination? >> i will not confirm that. but i will tell you that the president went through a very deliberative process and has 25 minus neil gorsuch scholars to choose from on his list and a transparent and accountable process. landed on a sharp legal mind. offered over 300 opinions, getting praise left, right and center from those who are rational. it is a typical tuesday morning. the president nominated a supreme court justice and is on his way to the nato summit and meeting with vladimir putin and a stop at the u.k. and continue to bring peace and prosperity throughout the world. we want the senate to give judge kavanaugh his due to meet with him privately and individually and also to confirm him in an expeditious process the way the senate has confirmed a number of other supreme court justices over t

this one of them is for most outstanding live interview, the interview i tid with kellyanne conway in know you took note of enand enjoyed. >> stephen: we used it a lot. it was fun. does that mean if you're nominated with kellyanne conway, does that mean you have to split it with her? >> when i told you back stage i would split it with her, i meant to say "wouldn't" split it with her. ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: got it. let's talk about the trump white house today and what has happened in the last 24 hours with cnn and the trump white house. caitlin collins, white house correspondents for cnn, tell the people what happened. >> she is what's called the pool, when there's an event and they don't want the whole press corps in, they have one magazine, one news, one radio person, called the pool, and they report back to everyone else in the group. >> stephen: she's responsible for asking the questions everybody would want. >> yes. that morning, president trump had been tweeting nasty things as is his want, specifically about michael cohen. >> stephen: because the tape h

senior counsel to the president kellyanne conway weighing in on that point earlier today. >> the judge has very strictly instructed no mention of paul manafort's role in the trump campaign, no mention of trump, russia, or collusion. this trial obviously centers on matters that have nothing to do with the campaign. i was the campaign manager for the winning part of the campaign, i assure you i will not be brought up on federal criminal charges. and i certainly wasn't making money in ukraine are talking to anybody in moscow. >> harris: peter doocy is live outside the white house with more paid >> up on the ninth floor of this courthouse right now, paul manafort is sitting at a table with his legal team, just kind of taking it all in as a pool of about 75 potential jurors are selected for a trial expected to last at least three weeks. i was upstairs and noticed paul manafort is wearing a suit instead of a prison jumpsuit like the last time he was here but his bride to court from jail today was in the back of a nondescript gray van. he has remained in custody ever since a judge in washingt

geoff, i know you had a chance to talk with kellyanne conway. >> that's right, hallie. this morning, the white house says the president will be talking today with his advisers about the supreme court pick. the president and his team are doing a deep dive into the backgrounds of the prospects. look, i'm told the president who we know for making decisions on impulse and ignoring the guidance of his advisers. in this case, he's said to be listen to his white house counsel and richard leo with that group of lawyers known as the federalist society who helped pick the judges on the master list. the president said he's narrowed his search to a nominee to about five finalists including two women. and all of the people on the short list are federal appeals court judges. there's a reason for that. republicans don't want any surprises. no more david suitotter. that's it. answer appeals court judges we know write a lot of opinions so, at this point, as you mentioned in your piece, both sides are fired up about what can happen to roe v. wade. the president playing in his past commen

no strings attached, and a sharp break from the regime last week, counselor to the president kellyanne conway says that the president is always open to speaking with our adversaries. if it means a safer america. watch. >> let me be very clear, he is open to conversation and negotiation. he has done that with mr. putin, and he has also said, if it is not a good deal for the united states and our interest and our workers and our security, he will walk away. he is always open to negotiation and conversation. >> harris: iran is not on the same page as the president when it comes to having talks, but when it comes to the foreign ministry, saying definitely not, chief white house correspondent john roberts joins us from the north long. the conversation about how a different tactic might yield something different with the country. >> sort of the same way that he tried to shake things up with north korea, but harris, i think that you can safely not told your breath in anticipation from the president and the iranian president even though he put the ball in their court saying i will meet any time with

so you heard me pressing kellyanne conway about that. and they're saying, look, acquire just merely pointing out the law, collusion isn't a crime but there was no collusion as well, they add that second part. now, broadly speaking, there is agreement that collusion, if you look in the law books, isn't a crime, but conspiracy is a crime. if you speak to legal analysts, and pete probably knows a whole lot more about this, they would say it's a part of the broader question that investigators are looking into, andrea. >> and pete, at the courthouse, this is so important, because it's not related directly to the russia probe, but it's so important for mueller to have a really strong case going in. >> reporter: jury selection is under way now, andrea. and it could end today. we could get opening statements tomorrow, if jury selection slops over into tomorrow. it's expected to last three weeks. it has nothing to do with the time that manafort worked on the campaign or was campaign chairman. it has to do with his work for another president, vikt

he goes into tv interviews with no real ammunition and just follows the donald trump, kellyanne conway model of speaking as fast as he can. it doesn't matter what the words are because there is nothing honest to say that could be helpful. there is nothing you can say that is both honest and helpful to your defense. so one possible explanation for the public verbal incontinence of rudy giuliani is that he's representing a guilty client. yesterday donald trump rose in defense of president trump with a tweet that, as usual, has absolutely nothing to do with evidence. is robert mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to president trump? including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship? i turned him town to head the fbi one day before appointment to special counsel and comey is his close friend? this morning rudy giuliani was asked about the president's accusation that robert mueller has a conflict of interest. >> how can the president make this claim and not support it? >> he doesn't have to. >> what's the conflict? >> i can't t

we see it in kellyanne conway, we see it in nikki haley, we see it in ivanka trump. all the women who surround him. so had is the four pillars of what america has been, and he represents it perfectly. white supremacy, anti black racism, capitalism and patriarchy all wrapped up in this particular president. >> i think cristina likes him. i think she voted for him. >> there's the key. women put him over the top. they knew -- >> white women. >> white women knew his beliefs. they knew these accusations, and they voted for this man anyway. and when i talk -- >> i wonder if these women are the people that glean on to something like #metoo or dismiss it and say what is this thing, anyway? >> they know that they have been the victims of sexual harassment. whether or not they're a waitress or a school teacher or in business, they know if they work at walmart or anywhere else, they know what sexual harassment is. this comes to a choice. this is the crossroads. and it represents where this country comes all of the time. are we willing to really live our values, or do you want t

white house has not officially reacted to the report, but one of the president's surrogates, kellyanne conwayhas tried to play down the importance of the news, saying that things don't change overnight. she was echoing earlier statements by secretary of state pompeo, the american foreign minister, who had said that denuclearizing north korea, and getting rid of the threat from its long-range missile program would not be a quick achievement in both the government -- and both the government and the public had to have patience. but that of course is not what donald trump said after his summit with kim jong-un. as we have said and in a tweet he pointed out that everybody now can feel safer than the day i took officice. there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. unquote. that was donald trump. only a few weeks ago he said great progress was being made. that was obviously a slight overstatement. brent: yeah, his critics this evening probably feel vindicated. they have said he is being taken for a ride. has the trump administration just completely misread the intentions of the north korea

in front of it is kellyanne conway she joins us from the front lawn. ten, we know a week from today the president will announce his pick for the justice to replace anthony kennedy. we can't really wait. could you just give us a hint? >> i would never do that but this is a way this president works. his leadership means that things move very quickly and historic decision nominating second nomination for the united states supreme court. i guarantee it will be somebody who has fidelity to the constitution. doesn't make up the law as they go along. in fact, doesn't make up the law at all since that's the legislature's job and the judiciary's job to interpret the law. too many judges these days in our federal courts, in my view are making things up as they go along, legislating from the bench, subject to the polls, the protesters, the political whims, the fidelity is to the constitution. if you don't like the constitution, amend it. so, i guarantee you it will be somebody who is in the mold of original thinkers and somebody who shows fidelity to the constitut

why would you have kellyanne conway on tv? you never know what she is going to do. traditional the post hawk -- i think one of the things that needs to happen is journalism needs to reclaim its dedication to principles of justice, truth, equality and make those more important. once the phrase gets out there, once the media frame gets out there, once the falsehood gets out there, it takes on a life of its own. you can make this into a great spectacle. three strikes and you're out. you never get invite back. it need not be dull but i think it is going to require a new pproach to producing contents. >> the completely made up websites that look like legitimate news organizations but aren't. you know, i feel for our readers because there are so many of them and there are also new legitimate news organizations that maybe they haven't heard from and they see these websites and don't always know what is real and what is not. we have said that the readers and news consumers are really he first line of defense here. take the time to read something before you post it and share

>> i think kellyanne conway is 100% correct. there are far more issues than abortion.t to make it this issue because they think it's a winner for them because they know -- they know everybody on that list is pro-life. >> eric: not a name but who do you think will be announced next monday or what should we look at? >> well, i think he is looking at someone who probably is under the age of 55 and if he can under the age of 50 as justice gorsuch was when he was nominated. someone who has traditional values. the president once asked me what i thought he should look for. i said judicial humility. not personal humility but the framers made the court third for a reason. the president enforces public policy that the congress makes and the courts defer to the other two branches to the extent they can and only interview with the other two branches when it is unconstitutional. that's the mentality he is looking for. i don't think he will ask about specific issues. >> eric: when the president said who should i look for, why didn't you say me? >> well, if you know this president, t

it is probably true, people like hope picks, kellyanne conway probably would have been present., mueller has other witnesses that may or may not be willing to testify to this fact. >> but were told by a person who has knowledge of the white house strategy that this person did not think trump and company were even capable of colluding with russia in a proactive sense. >> i heard this a lot from people associated with the campaign. this is not something that trump did in a proactive way. in terms of thinking i'm going to conspire to undermine clinton. he told me that if a foreign national were to offer dirt like this on an opponent, they would have called the fbi. one of the things he did say that was interesting, you do not tell the candidate about the offer, but these guys were all amateurs. it is more likely they did tell the president about the meeting so they could approve it and he would obtain that dirt on hillary clinton. >> there is chat within the family ranks as well. can i ask you about the fallout from the meeting with vladimir putin. here is what jeff flake said abou

. >> you also talk about kellyanne conway who a number of us have known for years.it was very negative. he said that her job as campaign manager the white house were in name only. and she was the number one maker of the press. how is that going. the people i am contact with don't see it that way. >> she obviously did not do anything in terms of the policy, but when i interviewed her at the white house and it was recorded she apparently had forgotten. she said with reince priebus it was obviously untrue. and also that they are leakers and they said it was not unfair. but really with the leak. it is very hard for the white house operate if everything is leaked. >> she is a trump whisper but there are things of president trump and should not be set up with her and refuses to do it anymore. except she is very likable. she is beautiful, and this is not come out before but she actually chose to cooperate with the person who wrote what i call a model. most of that is just fiction. you know who fed them some of that stuff. for example the book says that when the remarks tha

kellyanne conway shows the whole thing the media needs to change its approach. >> that incident asidem speaking more broadly, civility that you call for sometimes in your broadcast, should start here at the white house and show more respect. >> civility. cnn maintains the correspondence association agrees and we at fox news observed that collins was civil. that she asked relevant and timely questions of a president that often answers questions under identical circumstances and in the same setting. one of our journalists might have done the same. for a perspective a couple days ago, president trump said this to a group of veterans about the news media. >> don't believe the crap you see from these people. the fake news. >> during that same speech, the president told the crowd in attendance, what you're seeing and what your reading is not what is happening. president trump has been calling members of the media fake and dishonest since he announced he was running for office. in the past few months, the president has adopted a new phase. >> they interviewed ten women on one of the opposing

col kellyanne conway has a different view from yours this morning. me play what she had to say >> he's not asking people specific questions of cases. i am amazed how yet again the left spoils everything single thing including a supreme court justice down to one issue of abortion. >> they don't want a swing vote on it. >> that's too bad. they should elect their person. i suppose. >> if there is a single issue. is it not this? alex, have we lost you? abortion, is it the left that's doing that or is it the reality? it is probably, and if the reality, it is on the left. it is also worth pointing out but what a huge nomination opportunity this is for the right and a whole swab of issues. for mitch mcconnell, the man behind the scenes making it all possible. it is a whole issue making it impossible and maintaining political control for decades whether it is voting rights or gerrymandering. that's what's crucial about this nomination that beyond the abortion fight which does mean the left for them. there is this whole other array of issues that makes this i

much of jared's -- ivanka got a nice little boost from counsellor to the president kellyanne conway telling fox viewers go buy her stuff. a big moneytizatiomoneytization. i need to remind you when the trump family did an interview on 60 minutes that nite ivanka's own employees sent out an e-mail telling us where we could get her bracelet. please, sarah sanders, gag me with a spoon on this. >> joining us john john harwood. before the inauguration, president trump said he would donate proceeds to the united states treasury. how closely is this tracking? >> well, i don't know how closely they're tracking it. they sayer they're going to donate the profits in 2017, they did. $150,000. but donald trump, remember, reported $400 million in income. more than $400 million in 2017 and more than $40 million at the trump hotel in washington where he said his profits in foreign business was just $150,000. >> okay. at worst, it's a conflict of interest, best, bad optics, the white house continues to say, well ivanka is not taking salary. great. you can blow your nose with the $130 grand in salary. we have

despite kellyanne conway, rudy giuliani and donald trump all saying, worked for me for a short time, first of all, four months is not a short amount of time, particularly give wn when manafort was brought in. >> key part of any race, great to see you. thank you so much. >>> joining me now to discuss what's going on, c cnn legal analyst jennifer collins and glen kershner. >> the performance of rick gates, he committed almost all of the crimes with manafort. he will testify about what they did and what makes manafort guilty on the charges. i'm actually keeping my eye out for when a cooperator testifies, the defense can question him about other crimes and other bad acts he has done if it goes to honesty, even if they have nothing to do with the charged crimes. we may actually get a chance to see some of what the mueller team knows and what rick gates can testify about what did he during campaign that may be improper, dishonest, illegal, including potentially russia collusion. rick gates was part of the campaign for much longer than manafort was, through the election, even up to the inau

if her win makes her into what kellyanne conway called the new face of the democratic party, they won't have a bright future. >> charles: you think she represents the younger voters? soci socialists have made inways. when you poll young people -- i see they feel more confident about a socialist system than a capitalist system. is the democratic party overlooking something going on? bernie sanders pricked this, if you will. feels like it's growing pretty rapidly. >> you're asking a lot of important questions. there's certain policies that may win in some districts like this one. in a democratic primary. they're not going to win in a general election statewide, certainly not in our national election for president. so if the victory of mrs. ocasio-cortez in the bronx and queens is taken as a direction of which the democratic party will go, they won't elect a new president in 2020. >> charles: i can see it going in places like california. >> i agree. >> charles: you took another area in your op-ed that you pointed out. her ideas about israel. i want to share with the audience her thoughts a

he had kellyanne conway, some of your viewers may not like her but it is a significant accomplishment for a female to win such a huge convincing win and lastly you look at women under this president, just in 18 months we have women unemployment at the lowest rate it has been in 20 years. you add that to the other economic benefit that is come from american tax cuts and job acts. he's done a great job but too bad he stepped on it last night with that comment. >> jump on this, these are long-term friends that lead to the unemployment level, what's your reaction with what he had to say with respect here. it was more than him stepping on it. >> i also want to make it here, he was making some sort of insinuation about harming elizabeth warren when he was talking about tossing the dna kit. >> it was a bizarre fantasy. >> everything about it was bizarre. this is exactly why you are seeing a record number of women run for office, mostly on the democratic side. over 400 women announced they are running for congress this year. women on the down blaallot. democratic tickets have flipped the 42 s

nato and jetting off to uk where he will meet theresa may and what happens behind the scenes, kellyanne conwaywill be talking about peter strzok and lisa page with andy mccarthy. and martha live in london to tell us what her show will be like and how britain is ready for the president of the united states and after all they got eliminated from the world cup yesterday. playing the role about standing manager for 3 straight hours after working for lou dobbs last night who could take the life out of anybody, he will have our back. jillian: i'm calling you out, you are famously quoted for saying i never met a dance floor. >> i never met a dance floor that did any good. [laughter] rob: we will be right back, thanks, brian. somehow we always leave packing to the last minute. guys, i have a couple of things to wash. we got this. even on quick cycle, tide pods cleans great. 10x the cleaning power, even in the quick cycle. it's got to be tide. are you ready to take your then you need xfinity xfi.? a more powerful way to stay connected. it gives you super fast speeds for all your devices, provides the m

kel kellyanne conway said these are proven jurists. mike lee is not a proven jurist. can we rule him out? >> there's an indication he isn't at the top of the list. he would be an interesting choice. he's thought about the supreme court for a long time. having clerked there. been involved in these issues for a long time. i think the president is trying to check a few other boxes. it would present the fascinating scenario where he cast the deciding vote in the senate in favor of his own confirmation for the supreme court. >> people anticipate this decision for the president. where do you think the real flash points are. are we overstating the potential reve reversal of roe v wade. he said he's picking on monday. it's almost like lebron picking a team. the flash points would be roe v wade. could be voting rights. >> are we overstating roe v wade. has it been established law in effect for long enough this is perhaps the democrats forcing this issue or is there real potential there? >> there is a potential. when people testify on the hill during their confirmation hearings

i have asked john kelly for clarification about kellyanne conway's role. no response. i have asked ms. conway directly about her role. no response. and i have asked the administration about their progress on implementing the opioid commission's recommendations. no response. to me, it looks like a whole bunch of nothing. just empty words and broken promises. and while the president plugs his ears and closes his eyes, americans are dying. 42,000 people died of drug overdoses in this country in 2016. from july, 2016, to september, 2017, across the country, emergency room visits for opioid overdoses on average jumped 30%, but only one in ten individuals in need of specialty addiction treatment are actually able to access it. there is no shortage of steps that we could take right now to tackle this crisis. we have confronted large-scale public healthy crises before, and we have made a difference. back in the 1980's, the death toll from a poorly understood and stigmatized disease grew larger and larger. for years, the federal government refused to act as americans died. that
