among them, chief of staff john kelly, vice president mike pence, the homeland security adviser and manyse readout of that teleconference said president trump reminded his team that the full impacts of the storm will occur over the next few days with heavy rains and flooding. the white house is signaling that the president may still visit the south texas coast in the coming days. the timing of the visit is uncertain, but the white house has to balance the good optics of such a visit -- many would say it's an obligatory visit -- against the potential downside that it poses. here's michael brown, former fema director. >> it's that balancing act, because the president travels with a huge bubble, and that bubble shuts down everything. it shuts down air space, it shuts down travel. >> reporter: but with as many as five days of heavy rain still ahead, that in and of itself could potentially shut down any planned presidential visit, mike. mike: and, doug, with all the blockbuster stories going on, did a blockbuster story there at the white house perhaps get lost a bit in all the hurricane cover

president pence, along with the national security adviser hr mcmaster, chief of staff john kelly and cia director mikepeo. we'll hear more from the president in just a moment. he spoke to the to the pool group of reporters. we know he speaks more about north korea. it is going to start running a few minutes we'll count down to it and put it on the air. let's go to nbc chief andrea mitchell, more threats, the thing about threats you have to be willing to back them up. how is this being viewed, actually, we only have a few seconds before we go to this take. i'll get you on the other side. here is the president just minutes ago with reporters and the cameras rolling. >> thank youer we appreciate it. we are having a meeting today. we have a much larger group than this. but we discussed many things, one of them, obviously, was north korea. we discussed venezuela. we discussed afghanistan and the middle east, generally. we had some very good ideas, very good thoughts and a lot of decisions were made. this was very important day, actually. made a lot of decisions. with that, if you have any questions, yes. >

the kellys, kellyanne conway, great selection in the campaign along with mike pence. those are the two best decisions. i'm glad kelly ann is still there, mike pence is still there, and general kelly will get an order in discipline and understanding this is how a team operates. you don't publicly ever criticize teammates or players. and i think they'll get their message coordinated as well. and i think they're doing a pretty good job so far and will continue to drain the swamp and hopefully make america great again. that is the goal. those changes are happening. but understand, the other side's going to be mad, but our own team needs to keep their promises and work with the president to help him keep those promises for america. >> thank you. >> thank you. yes, sir. >> good morning, governor. thank you for joining us. my name is kevin o'connor. i'm a rising sophomore at emery riddle in daytona beach, florida. >> no state income taxes in florida. >> no. thank god. i was wondering if you could share your insights as to why congress is still failing to pass real meaningful

mike pence. his chief of staff, john kelly. it's also notable who is going to be absent from this rally. arizona's two republican senators. both john mccain and jeff flake, very critical of the president. both of them had very harsh words for him after his response to the violence in charlottesville at that press conference in trump tower one week ago. and the president didn't hesitates when responding to that criticism, specifically from jeff flake. he took to twitter last week saying that the arizona senator is weak and a non-factor in the senate. and praising his potential gop primary opponent dr. kelly ward. it's unclear whether or not dr. ward going to be on hand for the rally tonight or if the president will endorse her or even bring her up. another name that was not invited to this rally that pertains specifically to arizona, the man known as america's toughest sheriff. sheriff joe arpaio, you know, wolf, found guilty earlier in the year of continuing a program that a judge declared illegal because it racially profiled hispanics. the president said he is seriously considering pard

but tomorrow he also plans to challenge the country on trade kelly kobe a, seoul. >>> cia director mike pompeo said he wouldn't be surprised if north korea tested another missile. speaking to fox news, he said he was, quote, quote confident that leader kim jong-un would continue to develop the country's missile program. north korea claims it plans to attack water surrounding u.s. territory of guam. that will be completed by mid august >>> and president trump is expected to sign a presidential memorandum later to investigate china laws, practices and policies in relation to trade. the first step by the president to tackle what he described as beijing's unfair trade practices and could lead to sanctions. the move comes as the u.s. president called for greater cooperation with china when dealing with north korea it was an eventful week last week, that saw plenty of closings in currency today gold is trending off by a half percent look at the last seven days. up by roughly 2% in the course of the last week up 2.3%. fourth positive week in five and the best performance since april. talk more

and mike pence can say whatever he wants in europe, and john kelly can say and act and do things that a normal chief of staff would do to sort of stabilize that west wing. but, again, this all comes down to donald trump and his ability to sort of rein in those impulses. >> so, shannon, then we have the matter of our lead stories there preceding you of these numbers, these poll numbers. you'll note, as you have noted, that donald trump doesn't talk about the polls anymore. they were a staple of his rally speeches during the campaign. the question to you is do you think these numbers are baked into the cake to mix my metaphors that he is going to be underwater, but this is about damage control and moving forward and trying to cobble together some semblance of an agenda? >> and of course poll numbers don't really necessarily matter at this point because the election is, you know, 3 1/2 years away. so i mean you can make the case, you know, what do these polling numbers matter right now. but they do matter to someone whose election is not 3 1/2 years away, and that's members of congress,

that's the generals with general kelly, dunford and mattis and mike pence. that was a great photo you guys showed earlier, showing everybody gone except pence. pence has a very sophisticated political operation behind him. i was just in latin america with him for a week. they are professional, oran organized. if the president gives them a task, they're going to laser focus and get it done and they run the hill. no one in that white house now knows the hill like mike pence and his staff. so i think that there's going to be increasing influence now from mike pence, the generals as well as the globalist crowd. >> about that photo, there is always turnover in a white house, no question, but this was an important moment, just to everyone knows. this is when the president was talking to vladimir putin. everyone except pence is now gone. there is always turnover, but this many this fast, what does this tell you? >> no. there is always turnover, but there is never chaos of the kind we've seen here. in seven months eight critical players in this white house have left

mike, welcome. good to see you. who needs whom more here mr. trump or general kellywell, that's a great question it really, in any successful white house, is a partnership. you've got to have a president who trusts the chief of staff to empower them enough to run a staff process that's orderly and effective, and has the confidence of the other actors in d.c so there's no doubt the general kelly, by experience and by temperament, is the kind of organized, squared away, four-star marine who could bring order to the process but only if the president, who has essentially been his own chief of staff until now, is able to invest in him. and that is still the open, open question you know, president trump is not a young guy. and he's not the kind of guy who has changed a lot in his career. so this would be a challenge for him and kelly. >> that brings me to a question i'm going to ask you in the next hour to our guest, who has written a book on the chiefs of staff. you know, i heard corey lewandowski on one of the sunday shows that anyone say -- that anyone who thinks they c

and vice president mike pence is calling talk he may consider for the white house in 2020 absurd. nbc's kelly o'donald covers it all for us. >> reporter: from his summer stay at his new jersey golf resort, president trump's first take on a significant foreign policy accomplishment, the north korea sanctions came without today the adrenaline out of the trump administration came from vice president mike pence after a "the new york times" report described a shadow campaign for 2020 where prominent republicans including pence donors and make political stops in case president trump is not on the ballot. but in a lengthy review the vice president called the assertions disgraceful and offensive to me, laughable and absurd and pledged his efforts to see president trump re-elected in 2020. counselor kellyanne conway defended pence's loyalty. >> it is absolutely true he is getting ready in 2020 for re-election as vice president. >> reporter: speculation smolders given the president's approval pressed about whether the president would try to fire special counsel bob mueller, conway batted that away. >>
