ramesh, you have seen this first hand. i mean, i look at national review, you have been trying to be compromising conservatives for some time. and on immigration, you guys get the heck beat out of you, don't you? >> we take it from both sides on this issue because we are moderate restrictionists on immigration. i do think that if this deal, if something close to this deal ends up being what people vote on, i think a lot of republicans would be able to go back to their voters and say, hey, we got a wall. we got a kind of reform to the legal immigration system that nobody had even been talking about before this year. but the terms of the deal matter a lot. people have a lot of distrust, especially republican primary voters, that you're really going to enforce the laws going forward. >> we know there's so many ways that wall, you can fund the wall, it may never get built. going to be hard to get it built in some of these places. not much federal land that the federal government truly controls to build this wall. >> what about

michael learn cofounder of axios and ramesh manure a with the "national review."with you, molly s. we can talk about michael wolff book. let's start about the president's reaction to the book which is happen aing in front of our eyes, what is your assessment? >> that has the most telling part of this whole episode. first of all, as a matter of political or communication strategy, the professionals would tell you if you -- much more likely to go away. there is a lot that is explosive and salacious in this book. but to engage with it in way that the president has and to really publicly fly off the handle is substantiates a lot of the claims about the degree to which he takes things personally, the degree to which he is obsessed with personal slights and has to hit back no matter how far down he may be hitting. i mean, it's almost as if he's dropped any pretense that his first priority is his work on behalf of the american people. very clear that he's preoccupied first and foremost with his own ego. >> dickerson: what do you make of this, the president could have sai

ramesh. about twenty meters away from the gestapo prison at number eleven is the alltel dunno why you during the war it housed one of the liveliest literary and artistic cellphones in paris. he there were two big songs one was run by florence the other by madame de no i you. know i did my mom was the buildings are close together was so much every time i come here i'm struck by the contrast and it reminds me that people must have known what was happening here again your plea they could not have ignored it and this is where it all took place memo. this year they extravagant parties and they're that torture and death. memo and the buildings were right next to each other. the french upper class completely accepted the s.s. and they were mocked they don't mean the s.s. men were more popular because their uniforms were much more attractive from a black is a lot more becoming than field gray. pretty young. the chief collaborators came to an inglorious and the germans abandoned them when they pulled

tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are randeep rameshuardian and the political strategist jo tanner. one of the killers of the toddlerjames bulger in 1993 — jon venables — has been charged over indecent images of children. the trial will be held in an unnamed court. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is outside the crown prosecution service in central london. a very carefully worded statement released by the crown prosecution service from its headquarters in london. it said that the man formerly known asjon venables has been charged with offences relating to indecent images of children and will appear in the crown court. no further details can be revealed at this stage and because of reporting restrictions we can say very little more about the cases sell. venables was first jailed in 1993 more about the cases sell. venables was firstjailed in 1993 along with robert thompson when they were ten yea rs robert thompson when they were ten years old. they were jailed for life for the abduction, torture and murder of two—year—old ja

ramesh, it seems as if passage of the tax bill has now allowed everybody to sort of look at the firstar of the trump presidentsy and look at what he has done on the executive level now and see big changes. and this reshaping of the federal government as an institution is something that hasn't gotten enough attention. >> i think that everybody's assessment of the trump presidency's first year changed because a lot of its major accomplishments happened at the back end, the last few days of 2017 and it looks like a much stronger record of accomplishment than it did say going into december where it looked like there was the chance it would be dominated by the failure of health care legislation. >> and the failure of tax reform. >> exactly. >> this reshaping of the federal government, there is lot of doom and gloom. i'm old enough to remember the doom and gloom of when reagan did something similar in trying to shrink the government. is this as doom and gloom as some people say it is. or does it depend on the department? >> we were in high school during reagan. fair enough that we might hav

. >> dickerson: so ramesh, this is in some sense intrigue and useless, except this was president's seniorn the campaign and had ambitions how 2018 would play out. bannon backing more of trump-like characters in campaigns that he saw it than establishment. do you think this matters or is this just palace intrigue? >> there still is republican party establishment that is not in love with donald trump. even though it is ally to him. what i think the net affect of this bannon controversy is, to bind that establishment more closely to the president. they hated steve bannon. they are happy to see him marginalized and isolated. and they are cheering the president on as he does that. they are speaking with one voice with the president in saying let's get rid of this guy forever. >> that's a great point. related to that in the palace intrigue, who is this book a clear victory for? jared kushner, ivanka trump. as steve bannon calls them they wanted him outed, said they didn't trust him, president said that he thought steve bannon was the leaker and all turned out to be true. what is so fascinating

and the question became what would rick ramesh do in the face of this tragedy? because you could usually just easily ramp up solitary confinement. it seemed like i was the only choice. i was certain he was going to ramp up solitary confinement. what he did was he went to ,aught -- solitary confinement i spent more than a year in solitary confinement and this grown man who was a cop, i met him a few times, he was a tough guy cop, been in the department of corrections for a few years, he wrote the op-ed and said frankly i can do 20 hours and then he called and said i'm done. come open the cell and let me out. theontinued to decrease number of solitary confinement after having experienced it. one of the other things that happens in the context of the conversation is we imagine the crime this guy committed last not just forever for the purposes of you having a criminal record, so we don't even need this imagine what it means to suffer solitary confinement, to suffer through improper hygiene, improper medical treatments, horrible food. you don't have to do that yours

thank you ramesh, chris. also coming up — hello!ed scientists by learning to "speak" human words through its blowhole. wikie — a 16—year—old captive orca living in a marine theme park — mimicks words such as "hello" and can count to three. to those of you tweeting that whale does a lot better than we do, don't bother, we know. hello everyone — this is afternoon live. there's always a risk in going away at the wrong time — being thousands of miles away when there's trouble back home. but theresa may has tackled her critics head on during her trip to china. she responded to questions about her future as prime minister, saying: "i'm not a quitter." she added ‘there‘s a long—term job to be done‘. back home, the government said it is willing to publish a controversial initial assessment of the impact brexit will have on the economy — if mps vote to see it. our correspondent robin brant reports from shanghai. a cheer and a smile. who would have thought this was a prime minister on the rack? theresa may has come to china to talk trade and
