>> i thought rick wilson in the previous segment was spot on.complished individuals in their own right. they come to the job, i think, with a knowledge and respect for the constitution. and the history has been that appointees don't remain blindly loyal to the president that appointed them. so i'm cautiously optimistic that they'll follow the constitution and not be overly politically influenced. >> we're in different times now. unusual times to say the least. the meeting with putin is supposed to take place around the nato meeting with america's closest allies. what do you expect to see? >> i'm glad the sequence of the meetings, the putin meeting comes after the nato meeting. it would have been awful if the optic if the president was carrying putin's message to the alliance. now he has the opportunity to build some consensus with the alliance and bring that to his talk with putin. overall, the concept of the meeting is hard to argue with. i think what makes the allies nervous is the implementation of the meeting. what happened given what happen

rick wilson is back. rick, to you first. between these tweets, these retweets, this 3,500 word column published monday, does he know he's married to a woman who works for trump? why is he doing this? >> george conway is a well regarded guy who understands the law, federal society background and his case is pretty unassailable. i'm not an attorney but he's clearly a good one. my recommendations to george are you should probably get a food guest bedroom because he is married to the queen of the trump cult over there. this is something that he needs to be -- i'm not going to get into their family business, no one knows the secret terrain of any marriage. he clearly sending some sharp, investigation and on the rule of law more broadly. >> well, you are a lawyer. so legallyspeaking, what do you make of his argumen he's doing this? >> well, first of all, i think he argument was very strong and i think the reason he wrote it, at least my read on it, he's trying to debunk an argument by a very respected conservative legal thinker, s

rick wilson worked or giuliani's senate campaign.round, molly, good evening to all of you, by the way. i hate to throw this word around, but that was some shade, epic clapback right there from the first lady's office, isn't it? >> it can certainly be read that way. i honestly also read it as a simple fact. it is well known to pretty much everyone in the white house that rudy giuliani is freelancing. he is not coordinating his message with anybody else. he isn't, in fact, talking to the first lady. he's just saying whatever floats into his head. and it's actually become a sort of parlor game among people in and around the white house about whether there is a grand plan here. or if he's just kind of shooting his mouth after. i mean, our cover story in "time" magazine this week is about the public relation strategy that's paralleling the legal strategy and that giuliani is in charmg of. he all but toll us explicitly, this is an insurance policy against impeachment. we're just going to say a lot of stuff that puts doubt into people's min

and here to talk about it is jason miller and rick wilson. author of the upcoming book," everything trump touches dies." jason, 11 republican senators are calling to halt this. the president didn't meet with those republicans tonight. instead, he met with a friendlier crowd. how do you explain that? >> well, i was just talking to a member on the republican side on the house who had a little more optimistic impression from the president's visit this afternoon and felt that the president did help move things along. i think the voteis going to be tough in the house. but the bigger picture here is what the president is going for a bigger comprehensive reform. usually the washington way of things, they want to put a patch on things, or come up with a short-term fix. but really clear what president trump is going for, he wants to bill the wall and come up with a set of principles and come up with a solution for daca, and a solution for these loopholes. he doesn't want to go for one of these short-term answers, he wants to go for the big fix. and th

bring in anna navarro and michael shields and rick wilson.d evening all of you. >> good evening. >> very important conversation. mike, i'll start with you. the president wants a long-term fix to this problem. he can pick up the phone, put a stop to what we're saying. why not do that? why let the health and welfare of these children lie in the balance here? >> i think a couple thing. they said they're going to double down on this today, they said they're going to push even more set type of crack downs and enforce the laws at the border. i think it's telling that some of the pictures that came out were from dhs. i think the white house wants this controversy, they're trying to forcing this to happen. everything the president does is a negotiation. he is talked about when the government funding is up that he may not sign a funding bill until immigration is settled. he's pushing through all this controversy to get to something. i think when you hear the audio and the stuff you were playing before, we are ripping the band aid off of an ugly ish wh

with me now to talk about the fallout, reverend darell scott, supporter of the president, and rick wilsonan strategist, not a trump supporter, and author of the upcoming book, "everything trump touches dies." rick, do you believe the executive order issued in good faith given it doesn't apply to the 2,300 kids in question? >> well, no. i think, anderson, what we have seen here is one of the greatest political defeats of this presidency so far. this was done in a panic. the president made a big bet on the program of being something that the republican base would love and embrace and his allies would get behind him on and it's a bet he lost, he lost it badly. and he got beaten like a rented mule by images of these kids being separated from their kids and he signed this in a panic today. the text of it even, the first paragraph, the first section of it, was this long sort of whine about donald trump basically being wronged here. i think this is something he did in a very quick, very panicked moment. he had convinced himself and the supporters convinced themselves inside the white house that

. >> i want to read about the fact, they have to be aware of this, rick wilson said the president is a little nervous, showing signs in my view this is a moment of bad politics and bad visuals and he is blaming democrats, the reflexive trump spin. and separating children and parents who cross the border illegally, 66% of americans oppose it. even if he is on legal grounds, democrats are hammering it. >> democrats come to the table. look at the daca fix, he extended an olive branch, he will give legal status in exchange for border wall funding, he does not want to separate families. and instead of coming to the table democrats give them a false choice. and separate families, enforce the law, keep families together and nancy pelosi coming back, get to work and find a fix. jillian: democrats made it clear they would provide border security funding, a pathway to citizenship. trump reneged on the deal and said i won't sign the bill and create confusion among democrats and republicans was we can debate what has happened in the past. we need to focus on the future. these children don't have

with me is rick wilson strategist not a trump supporter. >> i think what we have seen here is one ofest political defeats of the president. this was done in a panic. it is a bet he lost. he lost it badly. and he got beaten like a rented mule by these images of these kids being separated from their parents and he signed this in a panic today. the text of it even, the first paragraph of it or first section of it was this whine about donald trump being wrong here. this is something he did in a quick, panicked moment. he convinced himself that it was going to be a big political winner and it is a big political sti stinker. >> the president couldn't just pick up the phone and reverse the policy. but then all of a sudden, the president signs this executive order and seems to do just that. >> something he has been contemplating for so long. >> wait. that is not true. this was sold early on, i mean general kelly was talking about this when he was head of homeland security more than a year ago that this was going to be a deterrent, the taking of kid the from their parents. >> it should be a d

and here to talk about it is jason miller and rick wilson.ason, 11 republican senators are calling to halt. how do you explain that? >> well, i was just talking to a member on the republican side on the house who had a little more optimistic impression from the president's visit this afternoon and felt that the president did help move things along. i think the votes can be tough in the house. but the bigger picture here is what the president is going for a bigger comprehensive reform. maybe come up with a short-term fix. but really clear what president trump is going for, he wants to bill the wall and come up with a set of principles and come up with a solution for daca, and solution for these loopholes. he wants to go for the big fix and this is going back to what president trump ran on in 2016 this, is the difference between him and a lot of politicians in washington. it might work, it might not work. and this is what he ran on and this is what he is trying to deliver. >> is this what the president trying to do. >> every thing jason just sa

matt lewis and rick wilson, republican strike thattist. good evening, welcome to the program. this is all about the truth. so, rick, lie after lie, why does this president have such a fraught relationship with the truth? and why is he getting away with it? why don't republicans call him out? >> look, president munch housen has no relationship with the troop, don. he has never been caught up with it, he has never been held account, no one has thrown the microphone and said, screw you i'm out, you're talking scrap. no one in congress has said, mr. president stop lying like a cheap rug. this is a guy that gets away with it because people let him. your intro tonight was an incredible valuable moment. it basically went out and said lie after lie after lie after lie. today the president, he was out there free range crazy on the white house lawn and basically, you know, bouncing from one explosion of bs to another, and hoping that he was going to get away with it. i think the guy was pretty unhinged today. there may be some method to the madness because he didn't want people to talk a

now i want to bring in david, alex, and rick wilson. good to have you all on. this is another very important discussion. so, david, i want to start with you. you worked for both republican and democratic administrations. if you -- the person you work for in the highest office in the land, may be the most uncivil person we have seen in this level or just in normal life. can you expect the same civility? can you expect people to treat you the same way? >> you can'tect it if your sarah sanders or working in an administration, but the country should expect it. this president has been provocative from the beginning, he has insulting everybody, he's lied to us continually. he has all the attributes we call demagogue. he thinks, i can get away with it, i can do anything you should have be on benned knded knee to. we ought to be very aware that authority they'rism can rise up in countries. their aspects of donald trump there are clearly unauthoritarian. having said that, the only way to restore civility if others become more civil. i think that -- we just can't have --

let's bring our panel power now chris wilson and rick ungar co-host of steele and ungar on fm. so much breaking news. i'm still on the mezzanine. so glad you are here. rick, i want to start with you and you what the speaker was just saying about where democrats are on this issue. you and i have had a lot of bipartisan conversations are they going to step up and join with republicans to get something done? >> probably not. >> harris: you agree with the speaker. >> i don't see it happening. >> harris: why not? >> well, you know, gosh, that's such a hard question to answer why not. we have obstructionists on the immigration issue on all ides of the political spectrum. one party comes up with something they think will benefit them. the other party doesn't like it. the other party does the same exact thing. >> harris: can i ask you a blunt question. >> yes. >> harris: senator chuck schumer going to come down to him. he shut down the government over daca. over other children who now are adults many of them. i'm confused about where your patterson immigration and helping people spell

rick leventhal has the story from reading, pennsylvania. >> you couldn't deal and i knew if i would have stayed out there, i would have been dead by now. reporter: 34-year-old thomas wilson t.c. as most call him, grew up in reading, pennsylvania. >> over the past 10 or 20 years, you think things have gotten better or worse here? >> gotten worse. you are can't walk down the street. you can't walk five blocks without running into a drug dealer or an abandoned house that people break into to get high. reporter: more than 35% of the male population in reading lives in poverty. town tends to lack traditional support systems such as churches or community centers, when people fall, they fall faster and harder. t.c. says his trouble started in childhood. >> you were on your own at 15. how did that happen? >> my mom, she had problems. she had a lot of money issues, and i was paying rent at the time, and money wasn't going towards what i was giving her to go towards, so i stopped giving her money, and she kicked me out. reporter: despite being on his own, t.c. tapped into a strong work ethic to earn a high school diploma. a degree more than a third of reading's residents don't on.
