john mclaughlin, you go back decades at the cia. in your experience has there ever been such a dramatic divergence between administration policy, oval office policy and statements and tweets, and the conclusions of all of the agencies? >> no, i think it's unprecedented, andrea, in its scope and a number of things on which that is the case. these people today do a very good job of speaking truth to power. as ken just pointed out, there were at least three or four instances. let me take one of them, on the issue of north korea. they didn't go into the details, but just from what we know publicly, north korea is still enriching uranium. >> and from our own reporting, the great work a lot of us have done that courtney kube, our colleague, and carol lee have done, repeatedly reporting that they're building and still continuing new sites. >> one of the think tanks in washington points out they're improving a facility that would be used in the event they would be launching an icbm at the united states. >> that's victor cha, our colleague h

to watch her when she was with the mclaughlin group in the monitored by the editor and chief of the hill. >> thank you for coming out. fascinatingill be a discussion. first want to start with what's going on right now. not the show but the government shutdown. this is the longest shutdown ever. four.entering week number this ssman moran, how is going to end? >> the president doesn't know end, nor do g to chuck.and soon.got to end pretty the people are suffering. i think as soon as wall street a certain amount of loss to the national economy, may get the white house's the tion more than of federal behalf employees. my guess is that we could easily go into february before we have resolution. he resolution clearly is to pass all of the other appropriation bills that have already passed the house and and we're ready for obama's signature ann we saw that rush and we laura, untila can figure out how to resolve it. >> congressman davis, do you think that trump might use a emergency? e seems to be shying away from that. but if not, then how does it end? precedent be a bad to use this for me. blo

c cnn erin mclaughlin is covering the story. what is the feeling there on the streets? >> reporter: things are pretty calm here. let me step out of the way, george, and show you the season behind me, you have a few hundred people wearing the signature yellow vest versus gathered. i was speaking to some of the protesters a short while ago, they're telling me they're here to protest the french president macron as well as his policies. they tell me he represents the banks and financiers, not ordinary people in france, something you hear over and over again, speaking to people who come out for these protests. security, of course, an issue here as it has been in past weeks. you can see just that way, programs, some police vans have parked, police with theory ought gear are here monitoring the situation as well. this week, they've actually been equipped with cameras to record the situation. they've come under criticism, accusation of heavy handedness, especially surrounding the youth of rubber bullets and things have gotten violent in past weeks. we are expecting to counter p

joining me now, john mclaughlin form former cia director. and of course msnbc analyst, and michael schmidt, the russia scoop machine these days. michael, let me start with you. it was just a little asize in peter bakers piece, but it indicated that mueller was looking into the president's meetings with putin. under what predex is he doing that and how does it not violate the scope of his presentation? >> well, i mean the thing you to look at is something that flu under the radar. in those things, he provided help to russia questions. the president said he would not answer them, but it is real questions. the president didn't know at the time the president's ties to russia and here they were at this counter intelligence investigation into the president's ties to our adversary. we know those questions because as we reported on them last year are very specific to the president's travel to russia, the things he said about russia on the campaign, they wanted answers to those things, we don't know what they were but they were asking about them. >>

. >> with me now is john mclaughlin. john, so much has transpired since we last talked on friday evening, but to the reporting from the "new york times" that the fbi saw enough smoke to suggest they should at least investigate what the president was up to. in your words to me, it is kind of like sitting in a room filling with smoke and not doing anything about it. if they left any other american with that much evidence pointing to something, they would have to investigate. >> i think that is self evident. the context of those crimes was that the president had shown very little interest in the intelligence that showed russian interference in the election. >> for doing so, the fbi director, so i think in those he has to find out is he being manipulated, are they seeking to influence him. at minimum they have to do that. >> let's talk about the jonathan post reporting as well. this is of great concern that the president says it's normal. it is not actually normal to take your interpreters reports and do something with them.

i used to watch her on mclaughlin group.e are moderated by bob cusack, editor-in-chief of the hill. >> thank you very much. [applause] >> thanks for coming out. a very fascinating discussion because you have veterans of washington politics. i want to start with what is going on right now. not the snow but the government shutdown, the longest shutdown ever now, we are entering week number 4. congressman moran, how is this going to end? >> the president doesn't know how it is going to end, nancy and chuck is one word now, chuck and nancy. it has got to end pretty soon. people are suffering. i think as soon as wall street reflects a certain amount of loss to the national economy may get the white house's attention more than pleadings on behalf of federal employees. my guess is we could easily go into february before we have a resolution. the resolution clearly is to pass all of the other appropriation bills that have already passed the house and senate, ready for president obama's signature until he saw and coulter and laura in

for more, joined by andrea mitchell, and also with me and her, john mclaughlin, former cia acting director and msnbc global affairs analyst here to check us. when the day began, we knew they were likely to contradict the president on some things, we know the president has a habit of exaggerating. but i think the sheer volume was still startling. >> what it did if you take a step back is reassure the world and americans that the intelligence professionals are professionals. they're not going to be politically pressured. they've seen jim mattis forced out, tillerson and others that disagreed with the president, yet they're still standing up and testifying honestly and openly and that's the important take away. one important take away. of course, the larger impression is that the president of the united states is misstating policy on almost every global threat, and the one thing he says is the most important global threat that would warrant an emergency declaration and 35 day government shutdown costing upwards of $11 billion, according to the congressional budget office, the border wall, tha

. >> and john mclaughlin, you don't have to be in the intelligence community to know isis was not defeated. to hear all you have to do is have access to a newspaper to know that, that there are thousands of members of isis and they are resurging in certain ways. the north korea information was an intelligence assessment that most, you know, people are not in a position to make. we don't really know what's going on in north korea, and there's donald trump's administration saying there's been no appreciable progress with north korea. not only that, but the regime's own definition of its survival turns on the north korean regime rutaining nuclear weapons. >> right, and we know even from publicly available information, lawrence, they continue to enrich uranium. we know one of the think tanks in washington have a credible report they are modernizing the base that would be a base from which an icbm would be launched towards the united states. so it's evident that program is not going as the president has indicated. and there's another thing that's buried in this report i don't think anyone has n

john mclaughlin trump campaign polster and president and partner of mclaughlin and associates.reat to be with you. steve: we have a new congress coming. in the president had a couple of senators who were not helpful to him he had senator jeff flake and bob corker. they are both gone and we have a couple of new people, rick scott and also we have got josh hawley from the great state of missouri coming. >> in right. those are really good changes for the president because the one thing about the republican party it's the party of donald trump. millions of voters agree with the president. he crushed it when he ran -- when we were doing his primary campaign he crushed it. he was winning primary after primary. people responded responded to his message about trade and immigration. now he has ha list in over two years over 200 accomplishments. when you think about the changes where jeff flake was trying to hold this up right until the end of the shutdown he was trying to protect robert mueller who after two years we have a national poll in december after two years only 32% think there

always really interesting and you want to have them confirmed and you can look at a poll from john mclaughlin or the terrance group or emmerson and so forth, the national association of manufacturers don't have time to go through their entire poll, but they did a poll of thousands of voters in 206 pivot counties in the united states and this is the recent poll, pivot counties are those counties in 2016 that voted for president trump but in the previous two elections voted for barack obama as president. it's very interesting and it validates your poll, steve. they're not exactly the same questions, but one key point was that in those pivot counties, these voters there was a strong preference for members of congress to work collaboratively with members of other parties to achieve solutions and pass resolutions. 80% of the voters in those pivot counties. only 12% said they would like them to stick to their principles even if it doesn't get anything done. this is a validation of your approach. it's one solution. there are other solutions that i think are really important. i think there should be

i used to watch her when she was on the mclaughlin group.are moderated by bob cusack who is editor-in-chief of the hill. >> thank you. >> thank you for coming out. this should be a fascinating discussion because you have veterans of washington politics. i want to start with what's going on now. not the snow, but the government shutdown. this is a longer shut down ever. we are entering week number four. congressman moran, how is this going to end? >> i wish i knew. the president does not know how it will end. nor do nancy and chuck. that is just one word now, chuck and nancy. people are suffering. i think as soon wall street reflects a certain amount of loss to the national economy that may get the white house attention more than the ratings on behalf of the federal employees. my guess is that we could easily go into february before we have a resolution the resolution clearly is to pass all of the other appropriation bills that have already passed the house and senate. and are ready for president obama's signature until we saw that russia, an

here to highlight some of these policy shifts is former trump campaign pollster john mclaughlin.these candidates make not even like a slow march. they're kind of like running to the my left. i don't know how successful it's going to be. but i want to go through a few these popular candidates and get your reaction starting with elizabeth warren. her current positions endorsing the green new deal, pledging to reject fossil fuel campaign donations. that was not always the case for warren, though. >> right. what you have here is a contest 'cause when i worked for donald trump, he had to be the most anti-obama, hillary clinton candidate out there to get the voters 'cause 90% of the republicans disapproved of what obama stood for. so now you have the democrats racing to be the most deranged. now, elizabeth warren, she was a republican in the nineties. and she used to -- jedediah: people don't know tha. >> no. like, we did the december poll that's on our poll on our website mclaughlinonline.com, she had only 4% of the vote, that's within the margin of error. to get up in the polls she h
