recent polls showed 3/4 of new yorkers don't want him to run. here was the cover of the conservative "new york post" that new yorkers woke up to on news stands this morning. a "new york times" opinion writer was downright charitable. in a city with the history of colorful mayors, de blasio appears to be a shade of muddy taupe. if he can't distinguish himself here, how does he plan to distinguish himself for the rest of the united states. the president piled on from a cell phone video aboard air force one. >> i would be very surprised to see him in there for a long period. it's just not going to happen. if you like high taxes and you like crime, you can vote for him, but most people aren't into that. >> still with us for more, jonathan allen, rick wilson. rick, what do you make of this guy? >> you know, i worked for a mayor of new york city who ran for president, and he was at that time pretty well regarded because he did a pretty good job during 9/11. you know what that got him? nothing. in the presidential race. bill de blasio's record is basica

new yorkers dragged him hard. nted "liar" outside his abc news interview kicking off his run. polls are equally unkind. in a recent marist college poll, 65% of democrats said they'd be unhappy if he ran. de blasio is a long shot for mayor and he easily won two terms. he's trying out his trump insults now. >> i called him what he should be, con don because he's a con man. >> i'm not sure that's going to catch on but you go, glen co-co. joel, new yorkers yell at him at the gym. where does he get this amazing sense of self and self-confidence? >> it's a new york thing. look who's in the white house. >> true. >> de blasio is not going to race to the top of anybody's list, but there is a path for de blasio. all of the things that bernie and that elizabeth warren are talking about, he's actually kind of implemented here in new york city. university pre-k, decriminalizing marijuana, universal paid family leave. >> you say there's a path, you don't mean an actual path. >> there's a reason why a progressive like bill de bla

new yorkers are not too fond of bill de blasio.at just 42% of new yorkers approve of the job he is doing. dozens protested this morning outside of "good morning america" studio during de blasio's interview. they say that new york city has gotten worse under his leadership. the subway system is a mess, and the city's public housing is in disarray. in the three men and announcement video, the mayor said that he would enact as progressive new york city policies nationwide, $15 minimum wage and free pre-k for all. going right after president trump. >> we know a con man when we see one. we know his tricks. and i feel strongly that he just has to be confronted. and he likes to get his little nicknames, i will give one back. con don. speak of the president tweeting that de blasio is "a joke." >> neil: all right, brian, thank you. the corporation democrat don beale joins me right now, making a run for the democratic mayor nomination, could've probably gotten it back then. but now a guy who he is thinking about running against, marching off

robin wright is a contributing writer to the new yorker. her book on iran is "the last great revolution." jim sciutto is cnn's chief national security correspondent and the author of a terrific new book, "the shadow war: inside russia and china's secret operation to defeat america." we will get to that, jim. but first, let me ask you, what is going on? it seemed as though the administration, john bolton, the national security adviser, mike pompeo, was setting up a kind of aggressive series of moves that were essentially designed to provoke the iranians or confront the iranians. and the president said, wait a minute, i don't want war. >> whiplash. think of the span of those two weeks, a clear and present danger, requiring the deployment of an additional carrier group. i mean, this is the most powerful weapon in america's military arsenal when you think about it. the aircraft carrier and all the ships and submarines that come with it. great alarm, and now the president in the span of that time now saying, i don't want war, let's find a way to

. >> if you are a new yorker, you're onto trump. has fooled all these flyover americans that he is this correct businessman. we kind of know that he is something else. when i say "flyover americans," that's a show business term in terms of demographics. i don't mean that with any -- with any pejorative sense. i live in a world where nobody watches "the apprentice." [laughter] >> dagen: he was talking to walter isaac, by the way, on the show. it who is the alec baldwin whisper? i just want him -- again, look me in the eye and call me a hayseed. call me a redneck. call me a hillbilly. call me trash. but see what you mean. don't qualify it. >> melissa: it speaks to this whole thing that really got president trump elected, this idea that there are these group of liberals who really believe they are smarter and better than everybody else. and kind of look down on the rest of the population. if you don't agree with them, you are dumb. you are not educated. you are not refined. in terms of president trump and new yorkers, of what people kn

. >> you -- for your new yorker piece, you spoken to a western diplomat who knows bolton, and he told you, the trouble more bolton is trump does not want war, he does not want to launch military operations. to get the job, bolton had to cut his balls off and put them on trump's desk, which is quite a visual i don't even need to address. but bolton knew what he was getting himself into. >> i think so. i think so. i asked him about that. not that particular quote, but and he said, look, wherever you decide to get into government, you have to kind of decide you're not going to get everything you want. and so i'm not going to get everything i want. but i think in this case, it really is like a fundamental difference of -- >> right, president trump, you know, has been very clear on his criticisms, i mean, during the campaign, at least, of the iraq war. previous to that, he was all over the place on it in public statements as a civilian. bolton has been clear as a bell from the beginning. it's, do you buy the argument some in the administration might make that the president wants to surroun

‘s a tough sell for bill de blasio to tell the nation that he is the right man for the job when new yorkers in an interview today that he would run, again, he was met by protesters. many want him to focus on many of the unsolved issues here in the city, the subways — which he doesn‘t necessarily control, the governor does. but still, he has a part in that. homelessness has gone up in the city. and there‘s so many other issues that they think will fall by the wayside if he‘s going around the country, campaigning. and so this has angered a lot of new yorkers who may like him still but don‘t want him to run, and then of course his harshest critics who think he is just not up for the job. not quite the reaction bill de blasio might have been hoping for when he made that announcement. $100 million has been pledged to boost treatments for snakebites. the money‘s coming from a uk—based medical research foundation called the wellcome trust. now, if you live in a country where there aren‘t venomous snakes, it might surprise you to hear the world health organisation call snakebites "arguably the worl

. >> and you are a new yorker. erstand me and i not trying to be difficult, what do you say to the obvious argument against it that it does look like new york, a blue state legislature is doing something to get at a political opponent? well, what i say to that is we have to be in respond to contemporary times. we are on the press of the constitutional show down. if new york can step in and my fellow legislatures can step in along with governor cuomo and do something to overt that crisis, i think we should and i am glad we have. >> you are dealing with the defiant of donald trump as the incumbent and not only trying to target your political opponent? >> donald trump as you know broke 40 years of political tradition by not releasing his tax returns. a lot of information that i think new yorkers and americans want to know about potential conflicts of interests and if new york if new york can be part of the solution to this problem then i am glad we are going to do that. >> fascinating. so final thing, when will these t
