and when rush limbaugh watched the president sign that bill, he didn't feel very good. >> i'm not liking the way i'm feeling. i'm feeling like i just saw donald trump get on the escalator and go back up. >> during the campaign, donald trump promised rush limbaugh and everyone he tricked into voting for him that what happened today would never happen. donald trump would always dictate the terms of legislation he signed because being a winner deal maker with the congress would be just so easy. >> we need a leader that wrote the art of the deal. >> lots of wonderful deals, great deals. that's what i do. >> i do hundreds of deals. the deals come out of my ears. >> if you can't make a good deal with a politician, then there's something wrong with you. you're certainly not very good. >> certainly not very good. and here, here is what the president said today the about the bill that he promised to sign then threatened to veto and then signed. >> there are a lot of things that i'm unhappy about in this bill. there are a lot of things that we shouldn't have had in this bill, but we were, in a sen

and from conservative talk show host rush limbaugh, normally a trump fan, he says that trump should haveetoed the bill on behalf of his base. >> this budget is designed to separate trump voters from trump. this budget is designed to make trump voters think that trump's presidency is irrelevant. this budget is designed to make trump voters conclude, you know what, there isn't going to be a wall and there isn't going to be anything serious in immigration, and so having trump be president is meaningless. folks, this budge set a slap in the face. this budge set the washington establishment both parties te telling donald trump to go to hell. >> we have michael scherer of "the new york times," molly ball of "time," cnn's phil mattingly, and rachel bait of politico. tough words from rough limbaugh, basically saying that this was a message to trump, drop dead, essentially, you're irrelevant. molly, what do you make of what trump's relationship with his base is at this point after signing this bill that he basically slammed? what's that relationship like? how can he repair it? and what does this

i had told bill who was listening to three hours of rush limbaugh that day, he said, there was undeserved gratitude that rush expressed. the phrase stuck in my mind when you asked about a phrase. grateful --le so call feels like you have a , i cannotstion was, remember what it was. i find it remarkable that among all of the words he knew, that he would not remove or that. >> very nice. the 51st -- sounds painful. he said it is the nicest thing anyone ever said about me and he said that if the nicest the anyone ever said about anyone. how did it come about? >> he admired it as anyone would. he was a big american figure and wanted to use it as a kind of hook to write, if you will. impersonator >> tui of time for a story about how bill wrote the books? >> he had a pattern. he would do a draft and then he would rewrite or redraft over the summer, i guess in the fall or so. >> is james here? james actually helped him write. remember. remember. so you get 1500 words every morning? 2000 in the morning. dinner or roger moore whomever. >> they were such purists. i remember him reading about the ,

rush limbaugh and everybody on the radio said, mr. president, this is a bigger spending bill than president obama could have ever dreamed of. he built up their hopes. new he's going to sign a bill he doesn't approve of. so it's chaos, it's dysfunction and it's presidential weakness. >> also, you get a sense, and maybe i'm wrong, that he wasn't paying much attention to what was in the bill. i mean, it is an omnibus bill so it is large, but clearly he had been briefed on it, but how much attention was he paying to it. >> this is a product of months of negotiations that have occurred between the leadership, between the white house officials. white house officials knew what was in this bill. they knew they were not going to get everything they wanted because they made the calculation that those people who were upset, the freedom caucus, the rush limbaughs of the world, they wouldn't be happy with this bill so they cut him out of the negotiations. they tried to make a deal, get bipartisan on board. it's something they didn't like because i

limbaugh. turning a run nearly fifty meters long. no easy task. in the distance lies the infamous ghost k. one of the most turns in the river. this time the ghost was leaning. on the last trip the raft was ranked against the wall. and its bamboo cargoes scattered into the river. one song the song. a motor boat comes to help. the river bank marks the end of the trip. and give me a born again. and again. when i want to get oh i don't know. i. doubt it. back on land the bamboo must travel another thirty kilometers through rain and mud before reaching the processing plants in. the jungle roads are slippery and the driver than lead can only take a portion of the goods. being car. been mounted him in the night out then have been flooded accurately when mounted the hope and are in him enough i need a hand with you but you know that call buddy in them what can i share my body like you knew i wouldn't go in the car. seat i mean a bit of a beacon you do not go and the little that i knew what. you think you could get a deal is struck but for twice the bronze

wasn't to be robust conservative media infrastructure we have now, there wasn't fox news or rush limbaugh. hehe was able to talk to democrs to be able to discuss these ideas in an environment that wasn't this kind of ranting push for power ratings and clicks t the. it is into simple insert were questioned. >> and all those conservative media places that only came to be like 1990. >> the fairness doctrine went down, rush limbaugh didn't appear until the final moments of the administration, he didn't have fox news until 96, breitbart didn't appear until 2006, so we think about all the things we have now that didn't exist back then, so the political environment is very different. >> so, craig thor biography delves deeply historically and in a way that we have seen an intensificatiointensification bn polarization that we now call hyper polarization and the complete loss of civility in politics. to me one of the interesting things you point out and build from is at the beginning of polarization in the u.s. politics it goes all the way back to 1964 where the republicans dominated the berry gold

rush limbaugh set i feel like i just saw resident trump get on the escalator and go back up. our other guest judge dineen argued this is all on congress, not the president. here's what i think peter might be some foxnews.com this weekend. talk about the budget because we now know for sure that none of our leaders in congress are interested in what the americans will vote for in an election or solving our debt crisis. that's the main driver of the populace revolution. on the left with bernie sanders in the right with donald trump. it's the belief that it doesn't matter who you vote for, nothing ever changes. congress proved that again this week with this swamp budget. you know where most of the extra money for the military will end up, don't you? in the military swamp. there was no effort to curb the corruption that way so much money in the defense budget and health care and across budget. there's no efforts to shake all this up which was the whole point of donald trump. yes we need a disruptor, but we need a disruptor that knows who they'r what they are doing. we need to dece

radio stations across the united states it produces syndicated radio shows for ryan seacrest, rush limbaughhe filing comes a decade after the company was bought for 27 billion, leaving it saddled with debt shares of iheart media lost three quarters of their value in 2015 and never recovered now trading at 48 cents. >> this was named clear channel communications prior >> at the time they changed the name to iheart radio. clearly the billboard company being separate from the bankruptcy filing means there's still a lot of value there they'll go back and restructure this debt. >>> that is not the only bankruptcy an private equity related news item today. what we talked about yesterday is official, geoffrey the giraffe is hanging up the towel. toys "r" us will liquidate not all may be lost. they could keep a couple hundred strong locations open. toys "r" us began three years after world war ii ended it's been in the current form since 1957, it was itself the subject of a debt-laden private equity buyout more than a decade ago. >>> other companies to watch today include wells fargo. tim sloan get

i listened, i listened to rush limbaugh today. i heard his base speak and they said, he has become a part of the swamp. it was amazing to hear voice, caller, after caller saying we're not be supporting this man anymore. do you think that lasts until november? >> what it underscores is that it is not so much the president's problem. he doesn't run until 2020. that is a republican problem. that is where voters take it out on them, the base. we have six months to the election. what you will see, seven or eight months, what you will see in the early fall the president will veto the next spending bill. he will use it as campaign issue. if they have dominated things right on future tax cuts and the like, they could really stem the losses that they face now. right now it is up to 68 house seats are in jeopardy according to rasmussen. david: putting fine point on it, when this comes up in september, when he faces another bill, you know it will be loaded with all kinds of junk, the likes of which he signed today, he will say no more, that

no rush limbaugh, no breitbart. he was able to talk to democrats and discuss ideas in an environment that was not this kind of ranting, push for power, ratings and clips that i think has contributed to that, that i described. it is not a simple answer, it is not a simple question. >> all of those conservative media pieces you mentioned really only came to be like 1990s and post that period of time. >> right. 87 or 88, rush limbaugh did not appear until the final moments of the reagan administration. he did not have fox news until 1996. breitbart was 2006. he think about all the things that we have now, they did not exist back then. so the political environment is very very different. >> thank you. so craig, clearly, your biography is really delves deeply historically. in a way that we have seen an intensification both of polarization that we now call hyper polarization and really the complete loss of civility in politics. to me one of those interesting that things that you point out and build from is at the beginnin

we will hear the limbaughs and the radioys get on and criticize them, but they would never criticize trump. understand why he is allowed to get by with so much when congress has control. indiana, last week, the late reverend billy graham lay in honor of the needs of the capitol dome up here on capitol hill, the state of north carolina trying to keep billy graham's presence in the halls of congress for longer than that. of the citizen times from asheville, north carolina. they noted that the state general assembly in 2015 approved a bill calling for a statue of graham to replace that of a former governor, one of north carolina's two hundred'stives in the statutes in the national statuary hall collection in the capital. nothing more was done after that because federal rules that those honored with a statue in the -- aal must be deceased state committee will be appointed to choose a sculptor now and oversee placement of the grandma statue in the capital subject to congressional approval. theer roy cooper wrote to architect of the capitol last week asking him to approve the states reques

broadcast hours are robotic the disc jockey is somewhere else and rush limbaugh is being piped in from a far so that all stem from deregulation and it won't change dramatically as a result of this bankruptcy. the former. chief information officer for consumer credit reporting agency equifax has been charged with insider trading the securities and exchange commission in the us says that john yang exercise stock options after he learned of a data breach at equifax but before it was known publicly he reportedly reaped an inappropriate gain of nearly half a million dollars. the f.c.c. is also charged to lizabeth holmes the c.e.o. a blood testing startup thera knows with defrauding investors while pitching for seven hundred million dollars in capital homes and theran most enjoyed glowing media profiles until twenty fifteen wall street journal exposé raise doubts about the company's claims and management. and i told you alex mahela bitch had something fishy to talk about well a nightmare scenario reported back in two thousand and six seems to be coming true fish stocks not stocks traded on a

. >> i want to play a little bit of what rush limbaugh said today about how this played out for the president>> it's time to stop thinking of the congress is made up of republicans and democrats. this remains establishment versus outsider, ruling class versus trump and his voters. this budget is an absolute disgrace. apart from the absence of any dealing with the daca kids, the immigration aspects of this budget are nothing more than a huge victory for the open borders people. a huge victory for the anti-enforcement of immigration law people. nancy pelosi was gloating on the floor of the house. she said to the president, if you want to think you're getting a wall, you just think it and sign the bill. >> so he frames this as the president versus the swamp. >> mm-hm. well, republicans are the ones that put the president over the barrel here. he's complaining basically about this process. you've got the leaders of the republican party, who ultimately have allowed 48 hours to read the bill. and inside the bill are all these things that only benefit the democrats. it places restrictions on the amo

and willing to take on you know, i think talk radio rush limbaugh, unwilling to fight the establishment. this is what trump brought. so i think that all -- >> what he tapped into. >> what he tapped into, thanks, that's right. a lot of what you see, what you would have said in the republican primaries though uncivil, being so focused on issues not important were driven by what people wanted. that is about all of us. that is the change what is happening within our culture and so, i think that is being reflected in our politics. >> jon, you're obviously here as a historian. that is an incredible role and appreciate enormously, but i want to you your role part of msnbc. it is not your full-day job but your very early morning role. what is the role of cable television in all of this? >> i think it is huge. the audiences are growing. in the early days back in '96, '97, when msnbc started, started about the same time as fox, not only did you know when we would sit around watching it at the magazine, not only would we know everyone who was on it but we knew everyone who was watching it. [laught

no rush limbaugh or hannity or fox news or breitbart. he could act in the environment he was able to talk to democrats and discuss ideas in the environment not ranting push for power and ratings and quips that has contributed that is not a simple answer or a simple question. >> but really those media only came to be through the 1990s and post- reagan. >> rush limbaugh did not appear till the final moments of the reagan administration he did not have fox news until 1996 breitbart 2006 think of all the things we have now that did not exist back then so the political environment is very different. >>host: craig clearly your biography delves deeply historically and in a way we see that intensification and polarization recall hyperpolarization and the complete loss of civility in politics one of the interesting things that you point out is that the beginning of polarization goes back to 1964 nominating goldwater or when the democrats nominated mcgovern so this is all accelerated but there are some streams of history you could add to the conve

abby: someone else outraged about this is rush limbaugh.he calls budget anti-trump and anti-trump voters. here is what he said. >> it was patently obvious to me that this budget is designed to separate trump voters from trump. this budget is designed to make trump voters to think that trump's presidency is irrelevant. this budget is designed to make trump voters conclude, you know what? there isn't going to be a wall and there isn't going to be anything serious on immigration and so interesting trump be president is meaningless. this remains what it has always been establishment vs. outsider. ruling class vs. trump and his voters. pete: i'm going to quote you, ed, this is a swamp budget a swamp budget mental to besiege this president. maybe the veto would be the fight back. i think he is saying fund the military, we'll give you six months. if you do it again in september, which is before the november elections, then i will draw a line in the sand. and he talked a lot about daca. i think for democrats, it's clear that they hate the wall more

from the house freedom caucus, to rush limbaugh to breitbart to even his fawning audience on fox.tted to buyer's remorse the same day tweeting he would never sign a bill like this again. ann coulter shot back tweeting, yeah, because you'll be impeached. meanwhile, we are just showers away from the interview with stormy daniels that airs on "60 minutes" tonight. and per her attorney's cryptic tweet showing this cd, it might not be what stormy says but rather than what she shows. meaning trump needs his media guardians now more than ever. but given what happened on friday, they may not number the mood. joining me now, e.d. deel of "the washington post" michelle bernard. and national republican consultant katon dawson and msnbc political analyst, anna ramnist. it was interesting to see the biggest cheerleader for trump who laid the groundwork and lost their base for him basically giving him love, love, love all the time and not love on that omnibus bill. what did you make of it? >> i think the reality is, all of the people who support "endeavour" trump know deep down in their hearts,

be amusing we drilled on getting him a good deal only show limbaugh all.the disks that's really the playing field of. i don't think you need my class in the hands of the miners is just one law here which says that yes in the cutting room of the law. you know greek and turkish exchange ease and their families are traveling to where the originated including this group from istanbul. the same selfie is ninety seven and traveling with his son that i caught one more fact and her daughter belle game. and a husband. and norman and his wife are all second generation exchange ease. emery is third generation and his wife is fourth generation feet must. have been. played. in the. lowland b. if only because. he. was. cheap little simplicity listening. to them thing i didn't think you noticed but the fact that it's been here made them mad over nothing. and it and i like a good death and xan been turned it up a little bit that's a joke but let me tell. you the new career. the long. look look alicia. to the to my lips to the by yeah the. name of the good god good to meet

rush limbaugh covered it and sean hannity covered it and so president trump can go to the senate tomorrownd we can still get it right in this year's budget if you don't do a budget you don't get to do reconciliation. that's a big fancy word but that's how we were going to get rid of obamacare until the senate yanked that one and they owe us. that's how we got passed through. >> laura: okay. and we will get to do this again. could it be a chance he will never get a chance to vote on something like this again given we know what happens in the u.s. congress with spending? >> yeah, i hate to get mess mystic the pace is dejected. not only say i won't do it again but take the initiative and force it on the senate. yes, you are right. this may not happen again because the senate said we are in the going to to do a budget this year. good help us if we lose the house then it really won't happen again. we are in a unique opportunity right now to hit it out of the park and do that in the next month before november. >> laura: mustafa i was watching chuck schumer and pelosi and all these democrats and

conservatives responded with howls of outrage from the house freedom caucus to rush limbaugh to breitbartto even one of the "fox & friends" whose attacks on the bill this morning seemingly prompted trump to tweet out a veto threat after listening to the tv. but that threat proved empty, leaving an outraged ann koulter to -- coulter to launch into a tweet storm saying trump will never sign another bill like that again because he'll be impeached. joining me now, tara dowdell and jennifer rubin, conservative columnist for the "washington post." tara, here's what's in the bill. no more fun the precious, the border wall gets nothing, no cuts to sanctuary cities, no thousand new i.c.e. agents, no cuts to planned parenthood, no expanded school choice, no cuts to pell grants and head start, no cuts to the epa and it funds the tunnel project that chuck schumer wanted on the border wall money the "new york times" reports it provides $641 million for about 33 miles of pencing but literally explicitly prohibits building a concrete structure or other prototypes of the wall. >> remember when he went to

republican members that are scared to death, scared to death of fox news, of laura ingram, of rush limbaugh. and what you see in this young man is a quality of character, fearlessness. maybe that's what happens after you've been down range of an ar-15 that kills your classmates and comes close to killing you. you lose all fear because this kid is not scared. he's not scared of the nra. he's not intimidated and scared by laura ingram. laura ingram huffs and puffs. you have half the republican party hiding under the table. half of them are hiding under their bed. they're so scared. so timid so skittish, not these kids, though. and i think that it's going to be definitional to the political debate that we see play out between november of 2018 when i think trumpism will be roundly repudiated in the next presidential election in 2020. but it's such a contrast, these kids, to the elected officials in the republican party. >> perfectly said. steve schmidt, thank you so much for jumping in and spending some time with us. we're glad to have you. >>> when we come back, the white house loses its glue.

wouldn't do a budget at all and in the last budget document i mentioned on your show last time, rush limbaugh budget in 2019. that means they can do reconciliation, we can't pass anything without having to get 60 votes in the senate. with reconciliation we are tax cuts through and to get another round of tax cuts through the senate has to do a budget so the president needs to get on the bully pulpit and say senate, one by one by one, do your job, your first duty is to do a budget, you got to do reconciliation, taxes, get people back to work, workforce, welfare reform, help people out of poverty traps into the country rolling. it is already rolling but i want every kid getting a job. stuart: out, paul ryan needs to fight mitch mcconnell and says get it straight in the senate, hundreds of bills the senate won't pass. needs to send the signal out in public so the public understands this issue. stuart: appreciate you being on board with us. all right. a picture of this, this is the army. they want to use autonomous vehicles to carry soldiers, carry heavy stuff. that is one of them. the army will

and you like your iheart radio and ryan seacrest is your guy, or whoever else you like -- >> rush limbaugh >> there you go. >> i said earlier a lefty threw you a bone you got to -- i don't know if this is a good number. is this a good number? >> you tell me >> amazon unveiling some internal numbers on prime video. documents shared with reuters show its total audience was 26 million customers as of early 2017 do they do it just to get -- >> i had prime before they were offering video aspects of it prime delivery the u.s. audience for all prime video programming was about 26 million customers. is that cumulative >> everybody who has a prime account. >> is that good? >> what i took away from this, maybe i'm wrong, i thought they were saying 26 million people who have prime -- there's more than 26 million families in america that have prime currently, but that have prime and used the tv service. >> if you have a watch list. >> yeah. >> it's free if you have the -- >> it does mean there is a meaningful audience, if there's -- the question is it 26 million people regularly watching or have watch

ainsley: rush limbaugh calls it a double standard. is gonna talk back. now, isn't that what they have been making fun of mike pence for for about a week? it wa maud behar on the view. mike pence is mentally ill because jesus talks to her. as big a risk for you recall oprah winfrey a democrat to acknowledge god number one and then she says she will not move forward unless she hears from god in such a clear way that she couldn't miss it. so she's expecting god to talk to her. anybody else see the contradictions here? ainsley: several things came to mind. when i heard oprah say that i was like -- see, i love oprah. i love that she is willing to talk about that and talk about her faith. and when you watched her show, she was always so generous and talked about her faith a lot and giving away cars and everything. steve: you get a car. you get a car. ainsley: she always talks about how she appreciates where she came and what her story has been. i think she is a powerful woman. clearly she has done a lot for other people and for herself for
