mayor muriel bowser hit back with the tweet saying she's the local politician who finally got throughthe white house. cnn political director is with me. let's just cut through this. what is this really about? because we know it is trump who want t wanted this parade all along. trump knew the costs. and it's as though he's swooping in and saying see, it's too expensive, so i'm going to stop this. >> right. he clearly was trying to throw the city of washington, d.c. under the bus here and use them as a foil for an excuse. but as you know, the president just wanted a parade. it wasn't until recently that members of his administration started putting the things in motion you that need to actually accomplish that. one of those things was the dhs secretary sent a letter to the city of washington, d.c. to mayor bowser. i think this was august 8th and said we're looking at november 10th. then the director of office and management budget in the white house, they went to go meet with the city to say can you give us a ballpark estimate of what this would cost. very few specifics, how long the pa

muriel rogers tweeted back, and said, yep, i'm muriel bowser of washington, d.c., the local politicianst of the parade had swelled to $92 million. the american legion, which represents 2 million american veterans weighed in. >> at the core of our soul, we all value taking care of american's veterans. and we still have servicemen and women who come over injured and kill from service overseas and we believe the money is best spent taking care of them. >> according to the latest defense spending bill said he wasn't aware of any $92 million estimate and insulted journalists who wrote it. >> i don't know who wrote it. but i guarantee you, there's been no cost estimate. whoever told you that is probably smoking something that's legal in my state but not in most states, okay? >> reporter: but cnn was told by an administration official that the $92 million was a planning estimate, saying that madison had n -- mattis had not been briefed on the report. >> america is has a proud history over the years. we do our best work taking care of veterans when we do it in a bipartisan way. >> we asked the

mayor muriel bowser say she's going along with a long-timed trip to el salvador. >> i'll make a designation any decisions i'm not able to make. i should say that i will -- if d think i n to be here, i'll be here. >> and president trump won't be in town either. he's staying at the trump national golf course in new jersey while renovations are being made to the white house. >>> charlottesville and the rest of vginia already under a state of emergency ahead of the neekend rally. law enforcement dhere has been planning to accommodate several demonstrations and protests this weekend. we'll give you a live look at charlottesville this morning. a celebration for the life of th wan killed last year, that's heatherhiger is about to get under way. a celebration to take placets e the white house a little later this morning. >>> also this morning, a metro project could impact your plan to ride the rails for the next couple weeks. during the week trains will be single tracking near the smithsonian, every 20 minutes on the blue, silver and orange line. construction on those lines will last abo 16days. so

that was followed up by this tweet by muriel bowser. first of all, do you think the president is correct or can back up that this is democrats, particularly local democratic politicians who are responsible for cancelling this parade? >> no, in typical form the reason it's being canceled is because the price did go up. we talked about this on the armed services committee. i actually introduced legislation to try to ban this, knowing this would end up costing millions of dollars more, and in general it's a total affront to democracy. the fact he's blaming a woman for his, you know, shortfalls, again, is not surprising at all. he ended up pulling out because he realized that $90 million and after the american allegiance said don't spend this money, he pulled out. tell him to go to a base. he's a commander in chief. he has the right to do this on a base. but don't be rolling tanks down capitol hill as if we're some third world nation. that's ridiculous. >> congressman, thanks for taking the time. >> thank you. >>> right now, a jury is decid

mayor muriel bowser. she's the quote, local politician that got through to the reality star and said the parade cost would have topped $21 million. with me now, american legion national commander denise rowen. denise, welcome. obviously some shade from the d.c. mayor. how do you see this? money better spent elsewhere? >> well, the american legion has long had a relationship with the president. we're almost 100 years old and those 100 years we have had the opportunity to advise the president on several issues and the veterans across this nation feel that $12 million, $90 million, however many millions of dollars that money would be better spent taking care of our veterans and their families and our military personnel than to spend that money on a parade in washington, d.c. hopefully when the war is over and we have something really to celebrate, that might be the time to have a parade. but just not right now. >> i don't know if you've heard how secretary of defense mattis put it when he was -- he had heard

s mayor tweeted yup, i am muriel bowser.ted back. $21.6 million of parades events, demonstrations in trump country. sad. you may remember trump got military parade envy after attending a bastille day parade during a trip last july to france. i am joined by the "hardball" roundtable. jeff, what do you make of this? if trump would have wanted his parade, he would have gone back with numbers crunchers and got the numbers down. >> nearly everybody thought this parade was a bad idea except for president trump, and when he tweeted that d.c. is poorly run, what he was doing is harkening back to the d.c. of the 1980s and 1990s. >> in the public eye, it is run by african americans and it works for him. >> we should say that d.c. has a budget surplus these days. and that was not the d.c. that president trump was talking about. >> he was talking about marion barry. >> you are talking -- >> and by the way, this is consistent with this guy. go ahead. >> you talk about how he is cutting welfare in the city and that is the impression of d.

to which the mayor responded "up, i'm muriel bowser, mayor of washington, d.c., the local politician to the reality star in the white house with the realities. $21.6 million of parades, events, demonstrations in trump america. sad." all of this comes after cnbc reported that the total cost of the parade was an estimate the $92 million. that's $80 million more than originally estimated. the west reports tonight president trump knew the parade was becoming a problem. "white house chief of staff john kelly briefed trump earlier this week on the growing cost of the event and several concernses in an effort to discourage him from holding the parade according to a senior administration official." he also told the president if it occurred in november, he would not be able to attend the event in paris with other world leaders scheduled to be held at the same time to the celebrate the centennial of the end of world war i. coming up, the friends president trump loves to mention who remain anonymous to the rest of us when "the 11th hour" continues. with the new chase ink business unlimited card

yep, i'm muriel bowser, mayor of washington, d.c.e local politician who finally got through to the reality star in the white house with the realities, $21.6 million of parades/events/demonstrations in trump america. sad. with me now is nbc news national security and military reporter, courtney kube. why so expensive, courtney? >> well, the d.o.d. component, and all of these are pretty much estimates. even the numbers that the d.c. government put forward are estimates of what they think they would need. the parade itself hasn't really been that defined other than what they expect to be the route. but what it's going to involve, how many troops, all of that is still in the estimates range. it's going to cost a lot of money for security and basic things like bringing all these troops in, for fuel, for the aircraft flyovers, and, you know, and then any kind of infrastructure that's needed, whether it's bringing in facilities for people who would be watching the parade and then any cleanup after the fact. so this is even from the beginnin

tweeting trump, saying "yep, i'm muriel bowser, mayor of washington, d.c., the local politician who finallyhe reality star in the white house with the realities. $21.6 million of parade, events, demonstrations in trump america. sad." thank you, gentlemen. we'll be back. >> thanks. d plans. starting at $40 per line on the network you deserve. i'm a small business, but i have... big dreams... and big plans. so how do i make the efforts of 8 employees... feel like 50? how can i share new plans virtually? how can i download an e-file? virtual tours? zip-file? really big files? in seconds, not minutes... just like that. like everything... the answer is simple. i'll do what i've always done... dream more, dream faster, and above all... now,

yep, i'm muriel bowser, $21.6 million of parade events of parades, events, demonstrations in trump americait clear his numbers don't add up. >> i don't think millions of people across the country know who the mayor of d.c. is, and i don't think they care. i'm glad she got a bit of publicity today. but the bottom line is the president canceled the military parade this year. i'm glad we have a chief executive cognizant of the money that was going to be spent and he canceled it. i would think that the left would be jumping for joy because they never wanted the parade anyway. i would expect some praise for this. >> neither did veterans and a lot of the military and other people. what do you make of this rather childish twitter war? >> i think it's childish on behalf of the president but again that's par for the course for this president. i'm proud of my mayor standing up because he talks about d.c. being run poorly, d.c. has $2 billion in surplus, a triple a credit rating. and we are about to go to a $1 trillion deficit thanks to mismanagement of this president. and i would hope that people li

mayor muriel bowser came back, she said the fact is although the president has been talking about this february, that your office, omb never came to them until this last tuesday to talk about this and they said it's going to cost the city $20 million and if it's the military they said it's going to cost them 50 million and they are placing the blame on the city and it's just wrong. >> director mulvaney: a couple of different things on that. first of all, if the parade had been canceled for fiscal reasons i imagine it would have been in the room when that was made and i wasn't. my guess is contributing factors. but to the relationship between a city in the president. i like the mayor, she seems like a nice lady, but this is a city that voted 70 or 80% against the president. the city council of washington, d.c., is not trying to help the president accomplish what he wants to accomplish. it shouldn't be news to anybody. if the $20 million you just mentioned is a number i find -- but that's a number that i'm not familiar with. the numbers that i saw from the city were much higher than that

i know that muriel bowser, the mayor of washington, d.c., made a trip back from el salvador, to help coordinate the security effort in washington, d.c., geoff. >> reporter: david, are you talking to me, sir? >> we're having a little trouble with geoff. so let me go to you, garrett. >> reporter: we're good. i hear you, buddy. i was trying to corral a native d.c.er here who came out with her friends to get a sense of why it was important for you to come out and just show that you were here and you won't stand for what some of these people are espousing. >> this is about unity, pulling together people as love. it's not about hate. there's too much going on. >> reporter: i saw you standing next to me near the metro station. what did you think when you saw only two dozen or so of these white supremacists were coming off the train? >> that they know d.c. isn't having it. that's what i know. there's more unity here. there's more love. that's what they know. >> reporter: thank you, ma'am. >> you're welcome. >> reporter: you heard her say d.c. wasn't having it. i would also point out, david,

i actually thought the best response to the president was from mayor muriel bowser who clapped rightk and said, don't blame it on d.c., we've already spent $21.6 million on your parades because -- in trump's america. you know, we've had that. you're showing it on the screen. i think, you know, we really do need to challenge this president over and over again and i know it gets tedious because otherwise he will power grab and we've seen that too many times. >> joyce, let me ask you, taking this conversation from the glib to really the gravely serious for this president who is under investigation. lawrence tribe tweeted, the classic way to commit high crime or misdemeanor is to abuse, to use for an illegitimate purpose like obstructing justice or punishing critics unilateral presidential power like the power to deny access to information or to dangle a pardon. again, tying this into the last conversation. does this affinity for, this appetite for, this ease -- i worked for a president -- presidential pardons were done at the very end of the presidency and they were so -- it was really
