rick tyler joining us now from washd. rick, a lot stands out in this piece in "the daily beast."e in it is a quote from you. "there is no guiding philosophy except loyalty to trump. he has destroyed the republican party. it's never coming back." let's used what happened to you to talk a bit about the way the notion of loyalty in politics has changed in this trump's washington. >> i think it's ironic coming from donald trump because donald trump is demanding loyalty from republicans when he's never shown loyalty to the republican party. for most of his life he wasn't a republican. back to the first debate, one of the first questions asked was will you pledge loyalty to the republican nominee, donald trump, was the only person that raised his hand to say he would not swa irto that. so this man has no loyalty. loyalty, we like to think, hopefully, but it should work both ways. you're loyal to a person and they are loyal to you. it's very difficult to have loyalty to someone who is not loyal to you. you see this repeatedly with trump. michael cohen is a good example of that, but ther

msnbc political contributor rick tyler. and former chief of staff at the cia and department of defense nbc news national security analyst jeremy bash. we got so much to get to this morning including new developments in two areas that have shattered the trump presidency from the start. the mueller probe and trump's tax returns. the latest on the democrats push to get their hands on both. plus remember when jim mattis quit the administration over the president's troop withdrawals? well now president trump says he's quote 100% on board with keeping american forces in syria. so what changed? we'll also dig into bernie sanders loyalty pledge to democrats. ran paul suggestion that a whole bunch of other republicans are ready to break with the white house on the border wall emergency. and also this happened. north korea pursuing the rapid rebuilding of a long range rocket site. those talks didn't go too well. willie we begin with new polling that find more americans than not belief the president is engaged in criminal activity. >>

now we can mention sweden so please rick tyler can you play in socialism a support base in sweden they think sweet they think you know good health care good education all these things you know fine things bernie knows better socialism has been a manifest disaster that has resulted in the deaths of millions literally millions of people first of all no no it has it he's talking about specific totalitarian situations like stalin ism and he wants us to conflate that with americans having a higher minimum wage. or corporations paying a fair tax rate furthermore he seems old enough to know that capitalism has killed mill more than ten thousand suicides tied to the two thousand and eight economic crisis all alone and every day people take their lives or die from preventable diseases because of unfettered capitalism the un estimates it would take thirty billion dollars a year to end world hunger but we don't do that because capitalism is not down with that man. plus as even the guardian report is capitalism was built on the bodies of millions from the very start from the late seventeenth centu

. >> joining me is jeremy peters and rick tyler. , this has to be taking a toll on the mccain family. >> there's a certain level of decency, it's hard to understand the motivations, political motivation, any motivation at all for taking on john mccain. you're left with the conclusion that donald trump attacks john mccain because john mccain, a patriot, versus mr. bone spurs, is a man that donald trump cannot and will not ever be. he always seems to try to diminish those around him. you don't see him building people up. people who are comfortable in their own skin, build other people up, that makes them bigger. donald trump, it's always i've got to tear people down so i look bigger. so i guess it's not surprising. but it is sad. >> jeremy peters, it does seem like he's threatened even in death by john mccain. >> he's always been incapable of being a bigger person. so therefore he needs to make himself appear as if he is the bigger person, as rick said, by constantly tearing other people down. this is a fixation, right? we've seen trum

we're joined once again by zerlina maxwell and rick tyler.c journalists jay newton small and laura bassett. zerlina, i'm going to go to you. we saw a little bit of your reaction. and. >> oh, no. >> but we didn't broadcast it. look, there were a couple times that you had a couple eye rolls and just explain your thoughts as you were listening to bernie sanders. >> i worked for hillary clinton so i have a lot of opinion. >> that was it right there. >> about bernie sanders. to be very serious about it, i clocked. he did not mention race or gender until 23 minutes into the speech. and just for point of comparison, i went back and looked at elizabeth warren's opening speech, for example. she mentions race and discrimination in the first paragraph. so that's a big difference. and as somebody who is a black woman knowing that black women are going to be a core constituency for any democrat who hopes to win the nomination, i was looking to hear messaging specifically for my community and dinot till 23 minutes into the speech. a lot of what bernie sand

. >> all right, cornell belcher and rick tyler. >> rick can hear me now. >> one last thing though.that necessarily donald trump would have lost under the system. the system people campaign differently and strategies are different. don't look at republicans, and say hillary clinton will be president today, that may not be true. >> come on rick, i think that's true. >> he did run on a 50-state. >> he won places that people thought he was crazy to go to. >> and hillary clinton, that's why he lost. >> let's come back with that debate. >> she was pursuing a national strategy. >> she's ahead of the game. >> getting national attention when ever you go anywhere as a candidate for the republican or the democratic party when you are that far along, all of your events, a good portion of them are broadcasted and headlines. it does not matter if you are there one-on-one. >> it does. it gives you interest in that state. if west virginia is as swing state, it is all about coal minding and on and on. we should have a broad interest of american interests and not just narrow interests of the swing s

rick tyler, the president is also asserting cutting the foreign aid is something that will help the situationto the countries it reduces the flow because it makes life better for people in the other countries. >> what is going at the border is complicated. we have not had comprehensive immigration reform and that's at the fault of both tparties goin on, and cutting off foreign aid is not going to help. can those three do more to prevent gang violence? yes, and they should. but that's why the families are leaving. you also have this problem which is frankly new, families are coming up as a family unit and not just mostly laborers that might come in illegally or come and work, but now they are coming to claim legitimate asylum because their families are being killed by gangs. trump says we will shut down the border and cut off -- none of his policies are working and they have to work with congress because it can't be politicized any longer because people will die. it has to change. >> when you look at immigration and you have push factors and pull factors, and one of the push factors is violenc

we had rick tyler on my broadcast and he said it doesn't look anything like it. it looks like the party of trump. he believes it was decimated never to return again. it was quite profound what he was saying yesterday. i want to take a look at this in regard to michael cohen. here's one of the questions that you asked at that wednesday hearing. here it is. >> president trump doing negotiations throughout the campaign regarding the trump tower in moscow, was he directly involved in those negotiations and if so how do you know? >> well, the answer is yes, and as it relates to negotiations, it was merely follow-ups as to what's currently happening. what's happening with russia? i mean, he wanted me to give him a status report. >> i'm curious how serious of a matter this is in your mind, that the president may have been involved with the russia tower deal throughout much of the tower debate if cohen is to be believed? >> it's a broader relationship with the russian leader, oligarchs and their supporters and with the trump administration -- excuse me, the trump organiz

joining us from hill niles and msnbc political contributor rick tyler. my voice is going here. s early. forgive me. rick i'll start with you on this one. there are clearly some serious issues and let's start with the special olympics. seriously some issues with regard to the budget with congress right now. what kind of message is the administration sending by nixing funding for the special olympics? >> sending a message that we don't want to support people who can compete in the special olympics. i have a step-sister who is a champion in the special olympics and been competing for the better part of a decade. and we're not going to fund that organization that integrates special needs kids and young adults but we are going to fund the wall because, a useless wall. we'll spend billions of dlor on a useless wall and not spend any amount of money to keep the special olympics going. >> niles, i want to turn now to the white house oversight on obamacare. that's what's been capturing the headlines as of late. first of all, what are you hearing about the concerns with regard to top cabi

. >> we'll see, rick tyler and tiffany cross. >> thank you both.ys he'll vote to block the president's emergency declaration. that means, it is going to pass the senate. when enthe president vetoes it, what happens next? i knew about the tremors. but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening... so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true. i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs tha

rick tyler, co-founder of a strategist firm and from "what's next?" of the new york state democratic party. our thanks to all of you. rick, start with you. if you're working, say, for donald trump 2020 campaign, what's the most interesting part of that new poll we got there from the des moines register? >> i think it's the strength of joe biden. joe biden is closely tied to barack obama and, of course, was our previous president and donald trump assumed office from -- from president obama, and so biden has a lot of strength in iowa. quite overwhelming. and as traditional a more established candidate in biden representing progressive and my party, versus the establishment, and no one else is close. that's what it will come down to. although favors biden. a lot of people are competing in the progressive lane and not as um competing for the establishment lane. >> yeah. seems to be a play there in iowa, in the hawkeye state. mary, i want to read something "the des moines registrar" row. joe biden sitting on the fence. i see this poll and might want to jump

let's bring in rick tyler, republican strategist and dana milbank.at to have both of you with us. let me begin with you, dana, you wrote an interesting column. i want to read a portion of it for you. in it you right ihlan omar is the most prominent victim of the anti-islam hatred trump spews. she has suggested americans who support israel by implication jews are disloyal to the united states. is it possible that she's using phrases without knowing their anti-semitic roots? how much scrutiny should be applies on the way she's using the words, as opposed to the context she's trying to make? >> i think it's entirely possible she's not aware. earlier when she said it's all about the benjamins, basically saying israeli or jewish interests were buying off politicians. she said i didn't understand how hurtful it could be. it's not just saying -- criticizing israel or opposing the government. a lot of people, a lot of jews feel that same way. but it's saying that -- suggesting that people who are pro israel are pledging their loyalty, their allegiance to isr

republican strategist rick tyler, he was talking about the president's speech at cpac.e a listen to what he had to say. >> it's not cpac anymore. it hasn't been since 2016. it's now trump pac and it should be tpac. the people there, they talk about pro tariffs, anti-justice, anti-law enforcement, anti-immigrant, pro-russia. pro-autocrat. it's unrecognizable what donald trump has done to the period and what he's done to the conservative movement. >> does he have a point? i mean, you talked about cpac being something that president ronald regan went to, loved going, probably got a very, you know, raucous applause as well as donald trump does. weren't these two completely different with not only their ten or and the way they approached their audience but what they were saying? >> well, cpac always reflects the republicans in power. back in the bush years it was a pro bush gathering. during the obama years it was just obama bashing the whole time an now it's obviously trump pac. it's something where the trump supporters were there in droves. that's just the nature of the wa

rick tyler a republican strategist and an msnbc political analyst and jonathan alter columnist for the daily beast and lauren leader, co-founder and ceo of all in together. great to have all of you. you know, i know, phil, that you talk to the former new jersey governor, christian christie. he said this clears the way for the president to be judged based on his record in 2020. is that what we're looking at here? >> well, chris, the findings yesterday were a real triumph for the president politically speaking in terms of his re-election campaign and givers him a powerful argument and can say the special counsel with the full force of the fbi and the resources of the department of justice found no collusion, no conspiracy, no criminal wrongdoing on his part and it helps according to the people we talk to for this story helps inoculate the president against future investigations that congress may have, against the southern district of new york investigation when he's in the political arena, he can always point back to this mueller finding and president trump and his advisers are already m

rick tyler saying it's the tea party, the trump party.ge resonate with the larger party itself? >> the larger party it's really at this point -- it's much more about fear. we are scared of the alternative and we haven't offered any new policy alternatives to democrats and what they're putting forward. and that's a mistake. we used to come up with big ideas. we're not doing that right now. we're seeing donald trump just say wall, national emergency, great again and that's it. i wish we were putting forward many different things -- >> they're still saying lock her up. >> we don't have to go around and being climate deniers. we can empower women by talking about the elder care client which negatively impacts women and takes them out of the workforce. younger republicans recognize this. i think you see people who are ready to take leadership at the appropriate time and lead on these issues. >> speaking of that, i've noted what happened in iowa this week. a number of different things that took place. you had mike pompeo who was there, but he a

so many republicans are saying today they don't recognize their party, rick tyler among them saying that wouldn't necessarily recognize this party or necessarily do the sort of things that this president has done so far. jonathan, you're just back from hanoi. and of course president courted controversy when -- with the otto warmbier comments over there and he talked about it yet again yesterday. here is what he had to say. >> i'm in such a horrible position because in one way i have to negotiate. in the other way i love mr. and mrs. warmbier and i love otto, and it's a very, very delicate balance. >> so he was there clearly trying to cover his tracks. you were there in hanoi when all of this went down. covering this. what was it like? >> it was -- i hesitate to use the term surreal because it wasn't like a dolly panning with melting clocks and things, but it was a very thing to see an american president essentially genuflecting in front of a ten pot dictator for the second time in a year, going to the backyard of that tin pot dictator to try to negotiate nuclear deal when the intelligenc

reen nan shaw, rick tyler, msnbc little analyst. requests related to ivanka trump, none sent to her directly. talk about the strategy behind that. >> so the thing to understand is that the mueller report is focused on russian intrusion in the election. a lot of these other investigations are focused on something that we now kind of take for granted but is really unusual in american history which is the inner section of the business interests of the first family and the government. that is trouble. it's a source, it's a fertile source of corruption. they're going to take a very, very close look at where ivanka trump had that intersection where she was doing business for the trump organization that related to business that she was doing for government and she was often doing government business on her private e-mail which is something that, of course, they accused hillary clinton of and now they know that it was done repeatedly by ivanka trump. she's acknowledged as much. >> yeah. i mean never has the american public had to hear the p

joining me right now rick tyler, political analyst, and jonathan alter, from "the daily beast"" alsosenate and house judiciary leaders he intends to consult with deputy ag rosenstein and robert mueller to determine what other information beyond the principal conclusions can be released to congress and the public. why isn't that comforting to the democrats? why are they bracing for a fight? >> because the attorney general is known for many years now as being a very strong advocate of executive power. he basically believes that the executive branch, the president can do whatever it wants on issues that relate to these kinds of investigations. so you know, we don't know how much he is going to redact or prevent from being released. obviously if it's classified, we're not going to see it. the public's not going to see it. also if it relates to ongoing investigations and there are 16 other ongoing investigations, that might be deleted. if it involves grand jury testimony, that will almost certainly be deleted. if it involves people not accused of crimes, justice department guidelines say

so rick tyler, this has been a long time coming. we've gone through the long road trip.s funk and now running for president. what do you think of his chances? >> there's an enormous amount of enthusiasm around beto o'rourke. i think he could be atrablgtive to the -- attractive to the middle. opening "morning joe" with his video. he's on the cover of vanity fair. if i were on the beto team i'd be pretty happy so far. >> jonathan, what do you think? >> it's duodifferent things. beto a roark has been made fun of with this road trip for himself and find the country that he has taken. he was impressive in his very close call he gave ted cruz in the senate race. there was a lot of enthusiasm for him around the country. you know, there are some suggesting that he seemed a little out of touch with this road trip. you know, the vanity fair cover is impressive but the photo shoot, that's not how you win the voters in the quad cities but at the same time what he has and has displayed, he has an it factor that i think a lot of democratic candidates we've seen so far, it's not clear

the dollar index really hasn't moved that much it just remains at a rather strong level tyler, back toyou. >> rick, thank you very much and coming up, even with a two day selloff, shares of general electric are still up believeitt or not 20% so far this year. did investors get ahead of themselves on betting on a quick turnaround and is elon musk becoming more trouble for tesla than he's worth? a top investor suggests that the m mpany could get along without hijust fine. that and much more coming up >>> shares of general electric down again today after a big drop yesterday on comments from the ceo. it seems like investors are realizing that the turnaround could take not months, years morgan brennan is joining us with more. >> hey tyler that's right, so shares are down another 7.5% right now the biggest focus is really cash flow and yesterday larry culp said that that would be negative for 2019 just for some context here, as rough as last year was, and it was rough for ge, industrial free cash flow adjusted was still about $4.5 billion power continues to be one of the biggest pain points. so this ye
