kellyanne conway so far has not been. what's shocking about the book and the vanity fair expert is cliff simms brings receipts. he described a scene where he's on her laptop watching her text in realtime leak against trump, bannon, kushner and various members of the administration. it presents a vivid firsthand portrait of how the sausage is made in washington, in this white house, in a way we haven't seen before on the record from a white house source. >> how has she survived for so long? she's a survivor. he gets to the heart of it when he says her agenda was her survival over all others including the president. she's very can an canny. why does the president allow leaks from her? >> they have a very, very strong relationship. that has not stopped other people from getting the boot who have strong relationships with the president. theirs is special and different for a lot of reasons. just the most obvious is that she is the ultimate fighter. she goes out and she will fight with you and with you and with me and all of us

kellyanne conway, white house leaker, s.e. what do you think about this description? >> well, you have to look back at kellyanne's resilience in this white house. there is a reason she has survived longer than any aide, almost, not named trump in this administration. it's been because she's been candid, i think she's probably very crafty. she's the first woman to win a presidential campaign. that doesn't just happen by accident. so to reveal that kellyanne conway has been playing both sides, the media and trump, the media and the white house, none of that surprises me. i think what will be interesting to see is whether trump himself is bothered by just how cunning and canny she's been to be in the white house. >> she gets a chance to talk to trump about this and trash him. i just want to make a defense of leakers in the white house. i know cliff is calling her a leaker. it sounds pejorative, right, but there is nothing wrong with kellyanne conway talking to reporters. in fact, we need white house officials to talk to us. >> yeah. >> the hypocrisy sometimes comes, of c

it is in this contentious atmosphere that i sat down with presidential counselor kellyanne conway. she's the most powerful woman in the white house, and she's one of the few senior advisors still standing some 600 days into an administration of revolving doors. conway is best known around the world for her combative defense of the president and for introducing the phrase "alternative facts" to the lexicon. but she has a major policy role, overseeing critical initiatives, from the opioid epidemic to working with veterans and military spouses. now, i can be as combative as anybody, but instead of getting into the ring with conway, i really wanted to explore and probe her views on her job and, of course, the administration's relationship with the press. we started by talking about the personal when we sat down in the eisenhower executive office building right next door to the white house. kellyanne conway, welcome to the program. >> thank you. >> let me start by just digging a little bit into what it means to be the most powerful woman in the white house. that is who you are professio

joining me now, kellyanne conway. there is some republicans who are worrying that by declaring a national emergency, the president could then open himself up for months and years of legal disputes and get it all mocked up. >> the president is going to address the nation tomorrow. he's going to lay out the facts and figures of what he considers to be a humanitarian and security crisis at the border. >> laura: is he going to talk about the national emergency aspect? >> he said he's considering it. he's never committed to it. white house counsel's is researching it. there are probably some people who want him to declare it so congress -- congress and the courts have failed to do their job. they've given us this crisis. when people deny the use of the road crisis of the border, it's sad to me because what is not a crisis is not an drugs, the cocaine and heroin coming over the southern border. 90% of the heroin, government statistics say, come over the southern border. dhs says there is a 73% increase in fentanyl coming ov

his counselor, kellyanne conway is defender. is supposed to join us tonight. we now know who is willing to break ranks with president trump to get the government reopened today. there were two big votes today and we had one of the people that voted on both of them, susan collins, one of six republicans to cross the aisle in the senate and michael cohen may appear on capitol hill after all. the committee he lied to has subpoenaed him. will he tell members the truth this time? the word is that's all he wants to do. what do you say? let's get after it. i wish i had better news. two big votes today. both of them went down. part of the news is we saw more republicans voting against the presidents position. they voted yes on the second bill but not enough to get to the number they need to override. bottom line they didn't get it done. then we heard that mitch mcconnell outwardly saying the shutdown has to end. inwardly saying let's make a deal. he and chuck schumer were huddled together today after the two bills failed in the senate. so it gave some hope. trying to

i feel as if kellyanne conway may want to see it. the president says, let's just call them walls from now on and stop playing political games. a wall is a wall. now there is a bipartisan group of members of congress trying to negotiate a deal to move forward on border security. the president worked so hard and kellyanne conway worked hard to stop calling it a wall. call it a barrier, steel slats, but not a wall. this morning the president is like, never mind. it's a wall. >> the 147th time he's undercut his own advisers. not surprising in that sense. it does speak to the nature of his presidency, the stream of consciousness, watching tv, responding to something he sees on tv. also the fixation he has on getting this wall which has become so self-reinforcing that he's boxed himself in now. it will be hard for him to do what i think a lot of folks thought he would do last year which is ultimately declare a victory somehow. get some money for border security and declare victory, call it the wall. most of the base would believe it was th

he's talking about kellyanne conway leaking to the press via text that he was able to see. he said. over the course of 20 minutes or so, she was having simultaneous conversations with no fewer than a half dozen reporters, most of them from outlets the white house frequently trashed for publishing fake news. journalists from "the new york times," "the washington post," cnn, politico, and bloomberg. she bashed jared kushner, reince priebus, steve bannon and sean spicer all by name. so you work in the white house. is the leaking like anything you have ever seen before, and what do you make of this report? >> um, well, i will go to what my source told me before we came on the air about this exact story. he said, you know, when it came to kellyanne, kellyanne was someone who was not originally in the president's camp. and so my source is believing it. this is a white house that they leak like a sieve. if it was really plumbing, we would be in a flood in that white house right now. i believe there are people who are whistle-blowers. and there are people who talk. there are people

i was just talking to kellyanne conway. and she chided me for saying the president destroyed those notes with putin. almost suggested those notes could still be around. i said, how about confiscated. it's clear they're not denying the story. >> he's very transparent. he gives more availability to you in a given week than i think any modern president. >> is this standard practice? something he did with other world leaders? >> i'm not going to be able to discuss this at length. >> if the president's denying this was any big deal, he would have done this with all foreign leaders because he felt under siege because certain of his meetings were leaked inside the oval office, phone coupalls wit foreign leaders. on the shutdown, latest, white house is not leaning towards the emergency declaration. they think that would be enjoined almost immediately. i hear the helicopter on the south lawn. it's not taking off yet. that means the president may be taking questions. >> all right, habns, thank you. i want to bring my panel in. joyce

. >> white house senior advisor kellyanne conway believes the reason may be that president trump was worried about his own advisors leaking information to the press. >> the president at that time in 2017 was suffering from a great number of leaks, as you remember i think week one or two of being here, his calls with the leaders of mexico and australia had leaked. >> if democrats do decide to subpoena the interpreter there is concern that it could set a dangerous precedent. the thinking is that it might prevent future presidents from speaking freely in these high-level meetings with other world leaders if they are worried that there interpreter could get called before congress, shannon. >> shannon: good points. if we will debate that, thank you very much. joining us now, former chief of staff to the national security advisor bolton, fred flights. in the "washington examiner"'s chief political examiner, byron york. good evening to you both. let's start with the issues of the president is trying to hide something when it comes to meetings with putin. steven collison says this, if he doe

>> i almost fell off my chair, okay.>> kellyanne conway owning jim acosta. >> jim, make sure that goeswhy i'm one of the only people around here who even gives you the time of day. and let me just get back in your face because you are such a smart ass most of the time and i know you want this to go viral. a lot of these people don't like you. >> tucker: amazing. how much of that whole thing is real? you have got to kind of wonder. i wonder. question three, you may remember this moment from november of 2017 when the president awkwardly drank fiji water during a speech. that same brand of water is back in the news after the company pulled a publicity stunt on the red carpet at the golden globes. what was that stunt?t? >> there was a model carrying it. she was behind everybody in the photos. the fiji water girl. >> tucker: photo bombed? >> photo bombed. >> tucker: is i that true? >> that is fiji water girl in the background.er social media users were very quick to notice the same girl holding a tray of fiji water in the background, expertly photo bombing celebs on the red carpet. see her

>> kelly, let me ask you, is there anyone on the president's staff, kellyanne conway used to be a pollster, bill shine, they can read a poll, i think. is there anyone who can say to the president you're in a weaker president today than you were in 15 days ago and when you said on national television, i would be proud to own the shutdown, that can play in a loop over and over and over again and no one with a brain is going to believe anything else. you have a weaker hand to play today, take any deal you can get, and go back to tweeting along with "fox & friends," mr. president >> part of it was to do the oval office address and for the president to use a card we don't of on see played, sympathy, empathy, gut feeling on the humanitarian piece. that's not his area of strength, not what he typically displays. there was a bit of that in his oval office address last night. and you saw just a short time ago secretary nielson saying this is a crisis, trying to focus on the people side of this. that's where they thought this would be politically a narrow lane but a moveable lane. the personalities

his counselor, kellyanne conway is supposed to join us tonight. with president trump to get the government reopened today. there were two big votes today and we had one of the people that voted on both of them, susan collins, one of six republicans to cross the aisle in the senate and

i asked kellyanne conway about that, and she took a swipe at democrats saying, look, they are focused on the politic, and we are focused on trying to reopen the government, and that is the line here at the white house today. and president trump tweeting about, this andrea, saying that the shutdown is only because of the 2020 presidential election, and the democrats know they can't win based on the achievements of trump and going all out on the wall and border security. and e have been talking to the officials at the white house, and what is the plan for reopening the government? right now, no one seems to have a clear idea of what the president would be willing to compromise on, agree to, and yesterday, of course, he seemed quite dug in that he is not going to accept anything less than $5 billion for the border wall and a wall that he promised that mexico is going to pay for and democrats not giving an inch, andrea. >> and as far as pelosi is concerned, they have just been convening the house. she is getting ready, and it is going to take a while for them to go will through the proced

. >> harris: let's bring in the counselor to the president, kellyanne conway. thank you for joining me today. this is big news, because the nation potentially will see a state of the union unless the speaker of the house pelosi steps in and despite the present. what is your take at this point from the white house? speak of the president intends to go to the chamber on tuesday night to address a great nation and give them updates on the state of our union. i think it would be remarkably petty of the speaker to disinvited the president of the united states to address the nation that they both serve at the highest level. i just want to correct politely one thing john roberts had prayed the president is not being vicious toward speaker pelosi. i was there in the oval when he was writing this letter, when he was setting out. as were others. he was not being vicious at all. he wants people to make the plans. i contend that there has been some opaqueness from the speaker, some uncertainty surrounding whether or not the state of the union would take place on tuesday as
