( cheers and applause ). >> stephen: here's a question for you. you might know this because you know the inside scoop on the white house, right? like the president calls you every morning and says, "what should i think, joe?" right? because he calls you-- i know he watches your show. we know he watch yourself show every day. >> we think he does, based on his twitter field, yes. >> stephen: that's the only way we know anything did donald trump. >> exactly. >> stephen: wean he's fine right now because of his twitter feed. >> it's been kind of silent. he has watched the show for years. even when he claims he's not watching the show and sens out nasty tweets to us, we always look at the camera and say, "donald, we know you're

. >> mika said yesterday at 43%. how awful this has been on so many fronts. >> the gallup daily tracking poll has him at 42%. and the quinnipiac also found that 61% disapprove of way trump talks about the media and people trust the news media to tell them about news than president trump. >> i didn't hear one complain about the media, about kellyanne conway, about ivanka trump's clothing line. they care about jobs and health care. you look at these polls and then you listen to what really matters. >> jon, that's what i've heard from trump supporters who push back at me so hard when i'm concerned about what is he saying about the courts, what he is saying about checks and balances, what he's saying about the media. if they are business people they are worried about tax reform and what are you talking about? the good gorsuch. look what he has done in one month's time and how much he has changed. so donny is right. his supporters don't really care about all of the crazy things he says, extraneous noise. they care about w

mika?> i like mika's answer. >> i think he's confident domestically to manipulate people in ways he can. >> doesn't need anybody. >> as it pertains to national security he's afraid and he knows at least what he doesn't know, which is good. however we get there is fine. i'm not sure it matters. >> we have reason to be afraid whomever the president is, so that's great. at the same time you contrast -- he gets the most experienced people that, as you said, hillary clinton or barack obama or george w. bush could have selected any of these people. they are just the all-stars of all all-stars, yet inside his white house doesn't have a single person in his inner circle who has run that beaurocracy before. you have people like stephen miller running around with really shabby executive orders that create chaos and then calls, as we are saying, people in the eastern district telling them how -- what was that story? >> stephen miller, 31 years old, one of the president's principle counselors assumes t

absolutely. >> let's -- >> mika. >> what?en at that time, i was asking myself what was going on. i asked myself during this campaign, what is going on. and when you have a president of the united states preaching moral equivalency with a leader who said the greatest tragedy of the 20th century was the collapse of the soviet union. the soviet union that he work as a kgb agent in and soviet union that killed 50 million of its own people and killed almost ten times as many people as adolf hitler killed and there were no trials because they didn't lose the war. but you just have to wonder how any president can say that about our country that i will say, again, it bears repeating. we have fed and we have freed more people on this planet than any other country in human history. how do you compare a country whose leader assassinates journalists, a country's leader who assassinates political rivals. we saw one found dead in the street across from the kremlin a year ago, who jails economic rivals, who has an authoritarian regime has p

. >> mika, you've been saying all along michael flynn will be the first to go. you started saying it before he was sworn in. you said michael flynn will be out first. >> i think this is good news for those who are concerned this white house has people not really cut out for their jobs and perhaps leading the president astray. flynn had a too tight relationship with donald trump. that also raised questions about the relationship with russia which still remains a big question. >> richard haass, the names floated would be extraordinary trade ups and would be strong policy team. >> all military. reinforces the sense you're going to have a military perspective. two, you've got crowded white house. you've got strategist, now young mr. miller, jared kushner. the question is what will be the real authority of this person? will you bring in 150 republicans, natural foreign policy that would staff administration has been excluded. neither secretary of defense or secretary of state has a deputy, nearly everybody else. yes, these are all trade ups. i agree with you. there a

is that meant as a compliment, mika? >> honestly, honestly, i don't know. nor should you. >> i don't. >>> president trump wrote a tweet thanking eli lake saying they should not interfere in our politics. his concern about leaked information and fbi interference in politics was not lost on many. here is that same man on the campaign trail. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. the fbi -- the fbi -- the fbi has just sent a letter to congress. new e-mails. some of the 33,000 missing and deleted e-mail and they are reopening the case into her criminal and illegal conduct. this just came out. wikileaks, i love wikileaks! amazing how nothing is secret today when you talk about the internet. hillary clinton tried to politicize this investigation. i respect the fact that director comey. you have amazing people in the fbi! was able to come back after what he did. i have great respect for the fbi t -- to have the tourcourage -- have the courage to write the horrible mistake that they made. and i give them grea

mika, you know donald trump. you think it's likely he said put your self on the cover. >> no. >> by the way, if the first week i were a member of congress my chief of staff were on the cover of "roll call" i would call my chief of staff. tim carney you're laughing. i'd say, listen, i don't really care, dude, if you're on the cover of the hill or not, like the first week i'm in congress, but that don't just happen. why don't you keep your head down and work for me instead of working for you. >> i think if you look at -- i think donny is right, if you look what bannon did with breitbart, that wasn't just a website, that was a media production. they helped turn schweitzer's backs, clinton, help turn those spoke best sellers. he was tied in with print media. he was tied in with fox. he was tied in with a lot of tv. bannon he's this alt-right guy as his critics put it he's out on the fringes. he's tied in with a lot of things. he knows his job has to be a promoter. as far as the question how much has he been making th

controlling exactly what people think, that is the job of the mainstream media, according to msnbc's mikazezinski, not president trump. >> he is trying to undermine the media. trying to make up his own facts and it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. and that is our job. cheryl: howard kurtz, fox's media analyst. howard, is it their job to control what people think? >> looking at my twitter feed i'm doing a lousy job of controlling what people think. if mika brzezinski that president trump and mainstream media are having a struggle influencing what people think. bucontrol, i can only assu she misspoke, that is not by any stretch of the imagination is our job. our job report the facts. perhaps provide analysis. perhaps provide commentary in the opinion side of the business. and let people make up their own mind. cheryl: i got to tell you, that whole conversation went back and forth. to joe scarborough. he compared him to mussolini and lenin. this is part of that scht

, it's very important, mika. also reports this morning that not only we were concerned about flynn and the press was concerned about flynn, but steve bannon had to fly down to washington, d.c. to reassure rex tillerson and james mattis about general flynn because they had deep concerns as well. >> and the response always was he makes -- he's close with trump, he calms him down, he spends a lot of time with trump, which really doesn't help with this story at all. >> no. it actually hurts. >> as joe mentioned, at timtsesn repeat days kellyanne conway has struggled to be on the same page, to say the least, as the rest of the staff in the white house. take a look. >> general flynn does enjoy the full confidence of the president. >> he is speaking to the vice president, to vice president pence relative to the conversation. the vice president had with general flynn and also speaking to various other people about what he considers a single most important subject there is, our national security. >> i'm not here to say wh

to mikas point, this is not just affecting republicans.better for democrats without a doubt. >> let me share with my republican brothers and sisters who think they were all paid. let me assure you, brothers and sisters, they were not. i have a lot of family members and friends that were all in for donald trump from the beginning on the phone saying am i going to lose my health care? this is from the grass roots up. there may be some people being paid there. if you don't believe me, make the democrats and take health care away, you will find out. >> there's nothing fake newsish to that. >> i haven't heard the republicans say that. the republicans i talked to on capitol hill and inside the trump administration say they are paid protesters, unrepresented. if they are not paid, they are brought from out of the district. they are not people i really have to pay attention to. i think that it's going to take a while to sink in. >> some of the republicans that won by 89% it may not matter to them. again, if donald trump cares to win wisconsin, ohi

>> you know what is interesting, mika? you're right. the man that he selected to be his national security adviser said no. that is shocking. >> this is a well-oiled machine? >> it's not. >> this is a well-oiled machine? >> and what makes it especially a junk yard "sanford and son" truck going toward the cliff is the fact that they offered a job to someone and they didn't know the answer. you would always say perry mason would never ask a question he didn't know the answer to? well, if that is the truth in the courtroom, the truth for a presidential office, willie, is you -- unless it is amateur hour of the first degree, you never offer a job and give the person a chance to say let me think about it. >> right. >> we don't even do that around here. if we say would you like working here, they say let us think about it, you say, you already did and thank you and we move on to the next candidate. they let a guy keep them twisting in the wind and then -- >> at this time of crisis. >> after that crazy press conference going, he's too unstable

. >> mika, even networks that have been openly hostile toward him, talking about how this was extremelyssful rollout. >> well, i think it was in a sweet spot. it was really -- this is what he does. he likes to create drama. he likes to do the big reveal. he likes to have people waiting until the very last second. and on every level, including the fact that it was really organized and well produced, and had sort of a wonderful flare to it that was, you know, extremely high-end so to speak, this was donald trump doing what he knows how to do, which is an event. i remember when we went to new hampshire in the primary and he wanted us to see back stage how his events went. i was like this is all incredible compared to -- >> he said this is a tv producer. this is somebody who understands how to put this stuff together which, again, completely opposite of what we have been talking about on this show the past several days. >> staging. >> yeah. the staging, like we had, was horrific earlier. on the steven miller stuff. >> because things like government got in the way. >> in this case, though, i

mika had the day off.ica, katty kay. >> we are doing to talk about steve bannon's performance at cpac. they asked the fbi to pour cold water on stories trump campaign advisers were in touch with russian officials during the election. the fbi refused to bow to that pressure. they report it was reince priebus who made the request of andrew mccabe. that came after the bureau told the administration, it believed "the new york times" report describing the attacks were not accurate. we have new reporting on it. >> two sources, one at the white house and one at the intel community tell us at "morning joe," while at the white house on other business, deputy director mccape asked reince priebus if he could set aside five minutes after the meeting to discuss another topic. priebus said yes. mccabe said "the new york times" report is overblown and not supported by evidence the fbi ever had. priebus asked if they could clear it up and get the information out. mccape had to think about it. later, mccabe called priebus

remember he texted mika brzezinski a month or so ago and said let it be an arms race between you and russia. his nuclear position is much different than what we've seen with pretty much decades of past presidents trying to tamp down on nuclear weapons, trying to lessen the number of them around the world. there is the treaty between the u.s. and russia which puts a cap on nuclear weapons. donald trump already said he felt that was not a fair treaty and that he wanted to look into it again. so this is just an expansion of that. we have to wait and see the full interview from reuters. they've only so far released a few clips of it. sean spicer was asked about it, and he said that we are not going to cede our nuclear supremacy to anybody else. >> joining me as well this afternoon along with katy, kristen welker who joins us from the white house as well as jamaal simmons. charlie sykes and christopher matthews. you were in the room for the briefing. lots of stuff discussed. seems like the most questions that were thrown at sean spicer today were about the transgender bathroom order issue

almighty, and the prince of peace, and in daniel, he is the fourth man in the fiery furnace, and in mikai iki he is the branch the savior, and luke calls him the great physician, and john calls him the word made fresh, and ax says that he is the one who will mobilize us to witness, and philippians says that god has exalted him so that at his name every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that he is the lord to the glory of god the father, and first thessalonians says that he is the one who will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of e o keep me from stumbling and slippinging and present me without fault and blemish within the presence of his glory with unspeakable and ecstatic delight and triumphant joy and exaltation, and john said that i was in the spirit on the lord's day, and on that aisle of patmus in the agian sea, and i saw him high and i lifted up, and he is alpha, and he is omega, and he is beginning, and he is ending, and so because i kept meeting that man, my hope does not rest in the various branches of government, executive,

. >> mika lee alluded to it.lt like a down day in certain sectors. >> if you're running real money. >> today wasn't so fun, but that said, i would welcome a pull back. i think it's very healthy. we've had a great run and -- but what i think is interesting is that this run has been so diversified. i think some people were thinking of this year value would be outperforming growth. both styles of work, large and small in terms of the size and mid. so it's been interesting. also the sectors have also been very diversified in terms of what has outperformed. i think it's very encouraging. i think earnings are good. you get these great economic data. every data point was pretty much better than expected. when you get the philly fed number at 33 high -- >> i didn't know it could go up to 43. claims were low, housing starts. you said something that keys right into it almost welcoming a pull back. on that note, we had a ceo telling cnbc, he called this a trump bubble. alan blinder was on "squawk on the street" calling this

so mika, start off. >> all right. well i'm intending on winning the oscar for best presenter today. and to do so i'm going to tell a story about "la la land." now in this case by la land" i mean region 16 of covered california, california's aca marketplace. that is the western half of los angeles and what i talk about will really reinforce the conclusions that michael just shared with the entire group and i'll give you some local flavor. the western region of los angeles actually in and of itself has 5 million people who live in it, so it's as large as many states. very diverse population obviously, a very urban area and there is both a lot of provider competition in los angeles as well as a lot of insurers competition. on the provider side and the broader los angeles area there are actually over 80 hospitals. there's not as much hospital consolidation in los angeles as there is in places like san francisco and other urban areas and on the insurer side there are actually seven different insurer competing in this area and there of many different types so you've got kaiser permanente

on wednesday msnbc's own mika brzezinski declared on air that "morning joe" is now a kelly free zone.elf on these shows. she tried to book herself on this show and i won't do it because i don't believe in fake news or information that is not true. every time i've ever seen her on television, something is askew, off, or incorrect. >> ouch. that comes after cnn banned conway from its morning talk show just a few weeks ago. they are among the first in the media to give a decisive answer of how to handle the spokespeople of donald trump who seem to share his tendency of not tell the truth, which raises another question. will they be the last to draw the line when it comes to lies and which of the trump mouth pieces will be the next to cross it? joining me now are joan walsh, ishar ali and karine jean-pierre. i should welcome the enemies of the people. >> joan, kellyanne conway often says things that are untrue but are contradicted by donald trump. is it the case that she doesn't necessarily seem to know what donald trump is thinking or speak for him truly? >> can both things be true? i th
