mr. hill: well, that is a very good question.qjoe jut last week, and victor cha, of course, is not going out to seoul. it is a veryood question. hope they are not picking jared kushner at this point, but certainly they have to start staffing up the state department. i think this special envoyin should bhe state department, and i hope there is a real effort, because you can't have diplomacyut diplomats, and that is precisely what this administration has been trying too. christian: what do you make of what president trump is saying, hat it is his rhetoric th done this, the maximalist approach is taken to north korea? he might be right. maybe the north koreans have blinked, maybe the chinese h e mr. hill: he might be right, whatever. he is going to claim credit. that is fine. the south koreans are doing well to work with him and giving him t credit that if not due, it is ok, that's fine. the question is how we go forward, how we can find something new in this, if we can do something about theble situation in the korean peninsula. ja

mr. hill: of the trump administration?irst of all, i think the trump administration has harsh words, but it is important to keep the sanctions on. there is a sense that maybe thee sanctions ad some role in perhaps changing the north koreans. i would hold off on those, but i would be willing to work with the south koreans on possibly getting some kind of conversation and even a negotiation going. i think it is very important that they be cautious but not be chursh about this. christian: it's interesting you talk aboutsaaving a convon, ambassador, because i'm wondering who they get to have the conversation. the united states has lost the south korean ambassador, and victor cha, who was supposed to be going, has withdrawn his nomination. who does the united states have cngage with the north koreans? mr. hill: well, that is a very good question. joe just quit last week, and victor cha, of course, is not going out to seoul. it is a very good question. i hope they are not pickingsh jared r at this point, but certainly they have

late-night drama-filled phone calls dominated the news for 48 hours until events on capitol hill reclaimed the news cycle. >> mre about to give before this committee will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god? >> i do. >> president clinton was 11,000 miles from washington on november 19, the start of a six-day trip through asia. the brewing storm back home would not wait for his return. all eyes were on judge kenneth starr, who had been called before the impassioned, bitterly divided house judiciary committee. >> the day judge starr testified was really grueling for him. it was very long. >> i really was not seeking to testify. we had set forth what the office had to say in the referral, but that was a political judgment by the judiciary committee, and of course i respected that. >> it was really the first opportunity for the american people to see "who is ken starr?" and to evaluate him. >> starr began his daylong testimony with a two-hour explanation of the investigation and the lies that it uncovered. >> the president testified that he did not know that vernon jordan had m

he would slam steel and aluminum imports in the united states the republicans on the hill are trying to convince him, mr. president, you are wrong. >> imposing the steel tariffs interjected uncertainty in the economy where it wasn't necessary. >> we will end up costing more jobs because of the tariffs than will be saved. >> i disagree with the president. >> i don't know of any trade war that ends well. that is not my reading of history. >> we want to limit the collateral economic damage as possible. >> laura: how many of those guys want ohio -- well, now they are threatening to pass legislation to essentially nullify the president's executive order. >> all right. let's have tariffs and couple it with uncertainty. that is worse. tariffs are awful. tariffs to uncertainty is probably worse. >> we have legislative tools at the disposal and how do we get it to the president for the signature? >> i'm not happy with it. the tariffs are going to be a tax on the american citizen. >> i think there is a good chance we will nullify them. >> with respect to senator hatch you supported the t.p.p. and you wanted to ex

mr. trump's inner circle. she announced her resignation yesterday following testimony on capitol hill that raised some eyebrows. the announcement came a day after she testified before the house intelligence committee which is investigating the russian 2016 election. she said her work required her to tell white lies wu she never lied about russia. >> she started off with us right from day one. >> she has been at mr. trump's side for three years. >> hope hicks is a tremendously talented person. >> but tried to stay out of the spotlight herself. this was one of the rare moments she spoke publicly. >> and thank you, donald trump. >> hicks was thrust into it earlier when news of her relationship with rob porter basement public. porter was forced to resign after his fbi background check revealed domestic abuse against two ex-wives. the former model started her career working for ivanka trump's clothing company and later the trump organization. she was one of the first people the president informed of his intent to run for office. >> i said what do you know about politics. she said absolutely nothing. i said congratu

mr. president, you don't look like an innocent man here. >> cannotexactly. but the question is when is the breaking point for most republicans on capitol hill? we heard some speak out yesterday, most notably trey gowdy. mr. mcconnell has been silent about this, probably will be silent about this until we question him about it. i was talking to public sources this morning and they don't see despite the attacks we saw from the president this weekend, they don't see it as a reason to fire the special counsel. >> the white house has said he's not thinking about firing the special counsel. we know he thought about that before. and in his tweet this morning he cited conflicts of interest in the special counsel investigation, which would be reason to fire him. so he's building a case to fire him. >> the president can't fire bob mueller, number one. he would have to ask his deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, who said bob mueller gets his approval for everything he does from me and i see no reason to stop anything bob mueller is doing. to the point you made about republicans, this is a sampling of republicans on the sunday shows. it's important,

mr. trump has two primary reasons for visiting the golden state. one is to check out prototypes for his proposed border wall. the other is to hold a fund-raiser in beverly hillshas a contentious relationship with california. last week, the justice department sued the state over its lack of enforcement of immigration laws. mr. trump has criticized judges for blocking his agenda. >>> the giants wrapped up their game against the padres moments ago. >> dave is here with sports. >> good evening to you. coming up, tiger woods trying to do something he hasn't done in almost five years. great fireworks in florida. we knew this would be tough. the golden state warriors, where this tail end of a back to back was anything but a layup. sports is coming up next. at &t has a network with thousands of best-in-class security experts. which means... more of the eye balls you want watching the network... & less of the ones you don't... more experts preventing security issues & less security threats impacting our customers. more of a highly secure network with more security products available for further protection & less per month than comcast for business internet. switch to

as it turns out, rain, according to john solomon over at "the hill," mr. george papadopoulos right there, a guy, mr. downer, who donated $25 million to the clinton foundation to help eradicate aids. brian: was that australian government money if i'm sure he didn't have 25 million. >> money put into the clinton foundation pocket to eradicate aids. when you look at the two -- we know the dossier was used. we heard the dossier was not the original start. the original start was george papadopoulos. you have the two lynchpins regarding hillary clinton to the got dirt on donald trump. brian: just the other thing, answered by john brennan which is extraordinary, former cia director, who many people have questions about, your tweet is an example of your paranoia, constant misrepresentation of the facts. that is what we need. we have a house investigation. senate investigation. we have the mueller investigation, maybe even second counsel. people's heads are ready to explode. ainsley: the question what does the dirty dossier really prove? it proves the hillary clint

i think what you're seeing is is this approach coming from the hill, which is not to say, no mr. president, because president trump does not respond well to no. but hey, let's make this more targeted. your real target here is china. so, that's what they're trying for but who knows. >> that's the talking point that you're hearing a lot from republicans, including senator hughes. let's listen. >> the working class voters, that's who elected republicans in 2016, that's who we need to be responsive to. my hope is that either this doesn't get implemented or it gets implemented a fairly small way. >> will it kimberly? >> it's really up to the president. the president likes to go back to his political gut which was on the campaign trail, being protectivi protective that we need to bring back steel and protect the steel worker in this case. he doesn't get into the complexities about how the economy has changed. if he believes his political instinct is right it will be hard to chang his mind. >> there's also the question when you pull back more broadly. stefani you want to bring you back

mr. haake, was been the reaction on the hill? >> reporter: republicans here have been trying everything they can to localize the race in pennsylvania, to make it all about the local issues and the local environment and the way that conn aor lamb ran his race rather than have it be about the national environment and national headwinds. paul ryan laughed it off a little bit this morning, describing conor lamb and his apparent victory. take a listen to some of paul ryan. >> we need to make sure our candidates aren't massively outraised and outspent on tv as was the case between these two candidates. the second point i would say is both of these people, the candidates, the republican and the democrat, ran as conservatives, ran as pro-gun, pro-life, anti-nancy-pelosi conservatives. >> reporter: ryan having some fun at lamb's expense there, he made that comment a couple of different times during that news conference. but democrats pushed back and said, what you saw there was somebody running who fits their district. democrats argue the

mr. zuckerberg to testify before lawmakers on capitol hill. this is a story that gains momentum.t guest was an early mentor to facebook's ceo mark zuckerberg, activate founder and partner michael wolff joins us now. thank you for being here. >> great to be here today. ashley: right off the bat, i felt like they responded very slowly once this story came out of this data being used, 50 million people's data. couldn't they have said we're just getting on to this, we are as shocked as you are, instead we waited days and days and days, and then we get a we're really sorry. >> facebook has mishandled its public relations ever since the beginning of us understanding that the facebook platform was used to influence the election, was used to influence all sorts of other disagreements and splits within american and foreign society. i think in this case, yes, they're responding slow. but now they're out talking about it. i think we have mark zuckerberg, company ceo, sheryl sandberg, the coo, and they're recognizing they have a problem. the real question comes down to -- ashley: can they fi

mr kim in rare talks in pyongyang. the former us ambassador to pyongyang, christopher hill, gave us his analysis. know, frankly, it kind of looks like deja vu all over again. but what is different is that kim jong—un has never said anything like this. he's never suggested his nuclear programme is on the bargaining table. so it is something new. and, i think, out of respect and cooperation with the south koreans, i think the trump administration needs to see this through and see if there's something there. also making news today: the vatican has announced that an outspoken archbishop of el salvador who was shot dead in 1980 will be made a saint. oscar romero denounced repression and social injustice in the country as it descended into civil war. the church will also make a saint of pope paul the sixth, who oversaw sweeping reforms of the church in the 1960s. four people have been seriously injured in two knife attacks in the austrian capital vienna. police say it is not clear what the motives were or if there is any connection between the two assaults. three of the victims were from the same famil
