is the rnc making a similar mistake now? >> i think they are.ook, everybody knows that trump more or less engaged in a hostile takeover of the republican party. during the "access hollywood" issue, many in the rnc walked away from candidate trump at the time and now i think they have gone full bore the other direct and dover whatever they can to muscle out any challenger. >> do you think democrats have learned any lesson. i know what that looks means, girl. >> no, they haven't. >> they haven't figured out trump. >> i don't know that anybody has figured out trump. i don't want to be unfair, but one thing that drives me crazy is we do get caught up on where is the ideological spectrum. that's not how most voters approach this. if democrats want to win, they have to have someone who can come across credibleably as a change maker and outsider. you look at ever election, swing swing swing, people are unhappy. >> who is it? >> i don't know today. i wish i could tell you. >> we have plenty of time. crystal, congressman, thank you. >>> the president hea

maybe that's better than what we learned about the rnc, the national republican party. cnbc reports today that rnc funds are being used in an on going way to pay the president's long-time former body guard keith shiller $15,000 a month he's getting and for no discernible reason. before the rnc chose the location for next year's republican national convention, the nominating convention, which will be in charlotte, north carolina, keith shiller was reportedly on the payroll for $15,000 a month because he was advising the rnc on security aspects how they told make their choice for which city and which site would be the most appropriate for the republican national convention. but that decision is done now. charlotte was announced as the choice for the convention last july but keith shiller is getting paid $15,000 a month every month for nobody quite knows what now. i mean, at least for awhile they tried to justify the payments with the rnc site selection thing but since then, like how do they even -- there snis not even a cover story and part of the reason this may be a pro

if the rnc is randomly paying him $15,000 a month now in an ongoing way for no discernible work, why those investigations are ongoing, there may ultimately be questions about whether he's being paid in conjunction with his testimony or lack thereof. i mean, there is no inherent problem with somebody on the payroll getting called as a witness, but there might be an inherent problem is somebody is put on the payroll because they have been called as a witness. today the president's longtime political adviser roger stone made an unusual plea to the federal judge who was hearing his case in washington, d.c. that judge is the same judge who has handled the case robert mueller brought last year against a dozen russian military intelligence officers from the gru. it's not a coincidence that roger stone's case is being handled by that same judge who is doing the gru case. that judge, in fact, was assigned to roger stone's case specifically because when prosecutors indicted roger stone, they said in his indictment that his case is explicitly related to this other case number, and that is the c

the rnc was sort of gearing up against preventing a floor flight and someone challenging donald trumpm the floor then. there were rules changing made in that regard. this now, particularly given that there is a national drumbeat that's beginning to develop some rhythm out there for the idea of a larry hogan coming into this race, bill weld is already there, but hogan now, a two-term, very popular governor in a very blue state, republicans are outnumbered in maryland two to one, with support among democrats at 50% on a slow day. so yeah, the white house should be concerned. and i think that's reflected in the effort that our good friend and colleague robert is putting out in his story, that that nervousness is translating into phone calls saying, okay, we want a legislative lockdown among republican legislators supporting come out and endorsing the president. i think that's going to be a hard get. >> a hard get in maryland. robert costa, this is just another indicator, an important indicator, though, of how organized and how nervous potentially the trump re-elect is about any potential

>> look, i had a good experience with the rnc during the campaign. i'm a little disappointed in 2018. i think the focus should have been on the house. i think there's no reason we should have lost the house. i think the rnc and the trump campaign should have maniacally focused on the house to make sure we weren't in the situation with these investigations and the ability to weaponize the mueller report. so they have to get better than they were in '18. '18 i think they let the president down. they have to get better for '20. i think every indication, they are. >> brennan: bannon also says as of now he has zero doubt the president will run again, but he stressed that we are about to enter an extraordinary time in american politics. we begin with missouri republican senator roy blunt, who sits on the intelligence committee, which has been conducting their own investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 campaign. it certainly feels extraordinary, senator, in terms of the time we are in, but you heard steve bannon there say that he thinks the meat of

i think coming from the chairwoman of the rnc.ogan, when he had accused the rnc of shielding trump in telling politico he's never seen anything like it, is that confirmed? >> reporter: well, listen, we are kind of in unprecedented times when it comes to a sitting president potentially having a primary challenge. larry hogan, who i interviewed not too long ago, told me he's leaving that door open. he's listening to people. he hasn't closed the door on the potential for running. he wants to know he's not on a fool's errand. but what is important to note is that the president does have very high approval ratings within the republican party. so getting out of a republican primary not a problem, probably, for him with those approval ratings staying as they are. the question is, kate, will they stay where they are, what's coming up for the president around the bend with the mueller report, that sort of thing. >> a lot to come. great to see you, jessica, from cpac. >>> coming up, no lunch, no signing and no deal. the president leaves vie

there were many dinners that the rnc would have meetings. everybody liked michael cohen. he was with steven wynn a lot with finance. so he interacted with donors and with people. and people really liked him, so they had a favorable impression of michael cohen. michael cohen, as much as he's on television, he episoappeared a bully, but he's really nice. when you met him around the rnc, you really liked him. so people developed relationships with him. so if comes out and says, look, i swear by this, this is what i did for trump, and he was a bad actor and whatnot, i think a lot of people are going to have a difficult time with that. manafort is more separated. he's like a foreign agent over here. but michael cohen really interacted with republicans and people really liked him, so it's going to be harder to swallow. >> you know, chris, full disclosure, i have known michael cohen and have had breakfast with him twice since auflsll ofs came up. he hasn't said anything to me, but he's an affable guy to most people that meet him. if he gets on that stand in front of the house ov

talking to mcdaniel who has been extraordinary chair of the rnc. knows, you know, every republican knows they are getting run by k street, the business roundtable, the koch brothers, wall street. how can they even look. stephen listen to mitch mcconnell say to the president you can't declare a national emergency, that's an endorsement of 70000 drug overdose deaths in this country every year. >> as i have said too many times, there's a club in washington. the good guys they become part of this establishment. the reality is, this is a president who is not establishment. he ran against the establishment and he won. but, you have to support him. he's entitled to set his agenda. it's a national agenda. this country desperately needs a wall. nearly 30 years ago we built a wall in san diego where 700,000 people were coming across. we stopped it. it worked. >> lou: that scared the hell out of everyone in the establishment because it did work. 60 miles in their mind was enough. despite the fact that it's a 2000-mile long border. the president will be talkin

guest: not supported by the rnc. john kasich is going to run a get 1% of a vote? come on. host: guest let me get your comt on what met lewis wrote for the daily beast. trump rested not on his character but on the fact that he said you would build a wall. they never stop to think that the guy who can't others -- who conningthers might be them as well. republicans need to be patient, and president trump cannot do this by himself. it is an effort that needs to be assisted by republicans in congress. paul ryan did not follow through on his promise after president $3mp is signed off on that trillion spending bill. paul ryan was supposed to help with the wall. that does not happen. he is no longer there. is republicans are not serious about the wall or immigration or security enforcement, that people need to look at the republicans as well. coulture anbnn and others who criticized the president, these are not people in the trunk republican party. some of them are just looking for attention, media attention to get their faces out there. host: our guest is stephanie hamill. people

do you think the rnc should let the chips fall where they may? >> well, this is presint trump's rnc in the sense that hi appoints the chairman. so obviously, there is something that is pro the white house and the administration. but, obviouy, in ou system of democracy and in our party. anybody's free to ma the challenge. sometimes it's a more difficult environment than others. in this case, with president trump's record with what he's accomplished, it would be very difficult for someone to mount a successful challenge at this point. >> there's a debate in your party. >> you're always going to have a debate. like i said, there's pele who criticize president trump because we don't like his style. you don't win campaign on style. i mean, you might mswin. but in tf challenging incumbent, it's about policy and what you've accomplished. what he's done in terms of rd increased security and the court. deregulate more authority to the governors in terms of de-emphasizing north korea is a problem. he's had tremendous success. and so, that's the record he w

yes, that happened early on, when i was still even part of the rnc.s book deal, which you had with hachette books, was worth around $500,000? no, more. ithink it was about 750,000. i did turn it down. given that you continue to profit from publicly discussing your time with mrtrump, i from publicly discussing your time with mr trump, i worry this committee hearing the majority has given you will only serve as a platform for you to continue to lie and sensationalise and exaggerate wherever it suits you. do you plan to pursue another book deal about your experiences? yes. i would presume this book would be a little different than your latest pitch? your new angle might please some new fans. anything to sell books. mr chairman, we've cancelled hearings oi'i chairman, we've cancelled hearings on child separation and on other issues that are close to my heart for this media circus. what a waste of time and money. for a man who has gladly exploited the name of the president to promote his own name and fill his own pockets. it pains me that we are sitting he

let's bring in kayleigh mcenany from rnc spokesperson, here in studio.ood to see you. connell: we'll talk about, when the president used that line that is kind of testing out what could turn into a stump speech, is that fair? >> i think that is very fair. you look at the field across the candidates, they have all creeped left ward. used to be just bernie sanders, sponsor for medicare for all. now you have single 2020 contender support it but those that don't support are pushed out like howard schultz. connell: the ones in you think are very far left. howard schultz, i can think off the top of my head, joe biden, certainly mike bloomberg, i don't know what traction you would get in the democrat party. would be hard-pressed to call those socialists? further to the least you can go the better? >> absolutely. 10 years ago, president obama said you get to keep your insurance. not looking to take away private insurance. he said that is the smart thing to say. a lot of people like their private insurance. kamala harris, others, chris tin gillibrand, private ins

but you do see the rnc trying to shift the playing field in trump's favor.y would say this is actually normal for ann come bent president, it's normal for the president's party to sort of be his political april rat tipa. and he's gotten an outpouring of support from members of the republican and donor establishment who would like to see the presidential lengthed. >> terrific work. thanks so much for being with us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> we have a programming note. we'll hold a town hall with bernie sanders with wolf blitzer monday night, 8:00 eastern only on cnn. >>> action on capitol hill, the answers that one senator wants after our report on u.s. weapons found in enemy hands. we'll bring you that. this is the all-new chevy silverado. it's beautiful. beefy and mean looking. it's the strongest, most advanced silverado ever. the cab is bigger than the last generation. it's the first truck i've seen make you look small. but that's not all... whoo! oh my... whoa! the silverado has more cargo volume than any competitor. very impressive. now, during th

here now with reaction rnc national spokeswoman kayleigh mcenany and talk show host larry. let me go to you first and i will post the same question to you i've been posting to the point panel before. they should not be democrat republican issue but these are serious charges come extremely serious charges and women who bring these charges should absolutely be taken seriously and nobody has said any different and no rational person on this network or anywhere else but the problem i have with this, that she was on the other foot and brett kavanaugh republican appointee, all of this went out the window and evidence did not matter and the response was instantaneous. he should pull his name out and all of a sudden granted a lot of democrats have come out and now, you said the second accusation, but it was not the immediacy. your reaction to that. >> kayleigh: yeah, that is exactly right. look what happened in the wake of justin fairfax accusations coming out. the number fourth in line gubernatorial secession in virginia, kurt cox who is a republican came out.c with a statement im

>>> you just asked a great question, if someone like jeff flake would run, that's exactly what the rnccking its rules. >> laura: like they did against bernie, shut him out in 2016? . he won the debate >>> the rnc is stacking it from donald trump trying to make sure he doesn't have anyone running against him. i think it's interesting the support is coming from the republican party. >> laura: i'm not supporting him. he's a liberal >>> i actually thought maybe you would. >> laura: he's a liberal. a liberal businessman. and michael bloomberg is concerned about the direction of the democrat the party as well. he's concerned it's gone so far left, it's left america. that you've gone way over to partial birth abortion. you're embracing medicare for all, which would bankrupt medicare, $32 trillion and it goes on and on and on p i think what schultz is saying is that's not the democrat party. that's a fringe movement that has the emotion now of a lot of people. but those policies don't work. my question is why not debate the policies and not demon eyes the guy? >>> i think it's fascinating you'

>> yes, that happened early on what i was still even part of i believe the rnc. book deal was worth around $500,000, isn't that correct? >> no, more. >> how much more? >> at think it was about 750. x while. >> i did turn it down. >> given that you continue to profit from your time with mr. trump, i worry that this committee hearing the majority has given you will only serve as a platform for you to continue to lie and sensationalize and exaggerate wherever insert -- wherever it suits you. do you plan to pursue another book feel about your experiences? >> yes. >> i would presume that this book would be a little different than your latest pitch? your new angle might please some new fans. anything to sell books. mr. chairman, we have canceled hearings on child separation and on other issues that are close to my heart for this media circus. what a waste of time and money for a man who has gladly exploited the name of the president to promote his own name and sell his own pockets. -- line his own pockets. it pains me that we are here adding other chapter to his book.

committee's perspective in 2016, where acting chair donna brazil attempted multiple times to reach out to the rnc to get them to take it seriously. because our position was, maybe not this election, but it could be you in the next election. we now know why the republicans weren't taking it seriously. apparently, as we will discover in the coming months, that there was a collusion involved in there. susan: josh? josh: chairman, president trump has taken the republican party in a much more protectionist direction, imposing tariffs against china and other countries. democrats have also had protectionist strains, especially in iowa. but because president trump has taken such a firm stance against free trade, have democrats moved more in a free trade direction as a result, especially in a state like iowa, where a lot of the tariffs have had an outside impact? chairman price: was that for me? josh: yes. chairman price: certainly, you've seen the impact the tariffs have had on the agricultural community. what that means is that the sector, the great jobs that exist, like john deere manufacturing jobs an

next hour, i will talk to the rnc's kayleigh mcinerney.picture of senator elizabeth warren's application to the texas bar, the one where she identified herself as american indian. instagram took it down, said it was harassment. how about that? we will take you through that story. oh, yes, we will. this is loma linda, a place with one of the highest life expectancies in the country. you see so many people walking around here in their hundreds. so how do you stay financially well for all those extra years? well, you have to start planning as early as possible. we all need to plan, for 18 years or more, of retirement. i don't have a whole lot saved up, but i'm working on it now. i will do whatever i need to do. plan your financial life with prudential. bring your challenges. stuart: white house adviser larry kudlow says there is a pretty sizeable distance to go in u.s./china trade talks. he said that to us literally five minutes ago. when he said it, the dow was down 90. after he said it, the dow plunged and we're now down 207. i think larry

the rnc passed a resolution that they would fully support president trump in 2020.e won't see the divided vicious primary we'll see on the democratic side. this will be entertaining for to us sit back and wait. i am going to get out the popcorn. katie: antjuan, the left is trying to determine themselves. they are playing very heavily into identity politics. we saw them take the bait on jussie smollett, kamala harris and cory booker. do they risk damaging their credibility when it comes to jumping into identify politics and using it as a weapon? >> i can tell you what i share with all the candidate i have been in contact with. i said stay laser focused on a policy agenda that will solve some of the major problems we have had for a long time, and point to the failure we have seen from this president and the republicans in control of the senate and formerly the congress. that will be my message to the ones who reap out to me. >> i think it's important to know what's going on in venezuela. the socialist paradise gone wrong. bernie sanders and all these other democrats c

here to debate is jason nichols, lecture at the university of maryland and former rnc deputy press secretaryining us this morning, appreciate it. communist or socialist? >> certainly not a democrat, that is for sure. all signs point to weigh further left than socialism. if you look at his college years he was in socialist and marxist organizations and in the 70s founded an organization, outline private utilities, let's make our banks nationalized, then found another organization in vermont, also a marxist organizations saying we support russia, we support the organizations in nicaragua and thing lately it is almost like marie antoinette left cake in arizona. it is terrifying. anyone who considers himself a democrat to take a further look at this because their platform is being used by someone that doesn't understand or respect their values. >> what do you think? should we be shocked by some of the things he had to say? >> first of all if we are going to talk about things people said 30 or 40 years ago there are many things donald trump said 30 or 40 years ago. i believe he was a democrat 30

kennedy: that is nan's point about the rnc . >> this is a rolling mistake, this is death by a thousand cuts of her. kennedy: she put up a web site. >> the fact squad, it sounds like a teen action movie from 1990s. kennedy: taylor swift would have tarred in remake. >> who says i'm going to get me a beer? kennedy: klum clumsy people. who are trying to sound. >> folksy. >> this trove of documents she put up, things that i signed. >> lies about me. >> but from my past showing i never tried to use my ethnicity to get ahead, but that registration card was not. kennedy: she did usie usa -- shd use her sassy gams. >> she did, sassy gams. panel returns later. kennedy: first up, believe it or not. rodger stone said he will not flip and testify against the president. is that a bargaining chip to get a pardon? i will ask him, own the one andy stone cold rodger joins me next. the first and only treatment of its kind offering people with moderate to severe psoriasis a chance at 100% clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of people quickly saw a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. don't us

the president kpacampaigned for him, rnc backed him, republicans backed kavanaugh after several credibleions of sexual assault. is this the issue republicans should claim some moral authority? >> first and foremost, i did not support roy moore, let me make that clear. you hit on an important point a few moments ago for the democrats to be claiming to be the party of zero tolerance. if they say there's no home for racism in the democratic party, then these two individuals that have pictures of blackface should be stepping down, and if there's no room in the democratic party for sexual harassment and sexual abuse, then certainly we should have the lieutenant governor step down. >> alice, republicans don't claim zero tolerance, they just tolerate. >> i think, look, there's no due process in the political arena for the democrats when it came to kavanaugh and other republicans that they point the finger at. i think we should have due process. i think all these women should be heard when it comes to sexual harassment. we have an environment where they can be heard. the men also should have opp

rnc committeewoman for california and the former dnc comes director i guess the whol this land is your land, but doe she really think that that is going towo work as an argument? how does that bring anyone together? it's two separate issues there' definitely a problem in-house this administration is dealing with the entry in a creating a crisis that doesn't necessarily exist. >> if 1,000 people are coming into your home at one time this is a personal home for all of us . we can't do it. >> i want to talk specifically. and i you don't want to talk about what she said, but that is going to drive most people badly. that is where she is very cleve and kind of cool. this is where inexperience friend you over. >> it shows. but she's referring to is a hug problem for the american tribes which are very much focused on having trouble sovereignty and treaty responsibilities. >> the native americans or get short trips in this equation. if not the fact that people are coming into our border in 2019. >> there are two separate issues . one of them is that the tribe probably wouldn't want it. i would

chair of the rnc rodney mcdaniel with us now.ichael cohen is going to go up there today and wave a check and say this is proof donald trump broke campaign finance laws while in office. what is your response to that. >> michael cohen is a convicted felon about to go to prison for 3 years for, among several things, lying to congress. congress and democrats want to roll out the red carpet and bring him in because all they want to do is distract from what the president is doing which is meeting with kim jung un. they will bring this life, not just the rnc calling him a liar, the southern district of new york called him a liar, the special counsel called him a liar, he called himself a liar so why would we trust anything -- stuart: if he appears with what is considered irrefutable proof, waving this check, what is the response to that? >> i don't trust anything michael cohen has to say. this is a total sideshow in this is what will be the next two years, democrats putting investigations forward, sideshows forward because they can't wi

want to bring in ronna mcdaniel, rnc chairwoman. you're in washington today.oy the swamp while you've got it. aoc responded yes, a man who can't read briefings written in full sentences is providing literary criticism of a house resolution and she links to the piece in the "washington post". how do you react today, ronna? >> i this i the president was being generous saying it was a high school paper that would get bad marks. my daughter is a sophomore in high school. she would have received a failing grade if she put forward what ocasio-cortez. her advisor on tv people were making things up about the green new deal. they hadn't read the version they put up that said unwilling to work. getting rid of air travel. now there is a version two, three and four. they didn't proofread this huge deal that they're putting forward. a total government takeover. the president is 100% when he says it will absolutely take away all the economic gains we've seen as a country if this is implemented. she has no idea. she is working in theory and she doesn't understand the reality

a lot of the republican party, the rnc, a lot of trump supporters are here at home in washington so they'lle able to respond more quickly in real time. >> your colleagues were putting this out there about michael cohen. what is your reaction to seeing that? >> well, steve, i am completely out of patience with people who confuse the hard work of governing in a high plurallestic democracy over tweeting the -- i found it vulgar, personal and highly inappropriate and i think it reflects more on the person who tweeted it than anything else. >> barbara mcquaid, i've seen information on twitter raising legal questions from matt gaetz. is this just in poor taste but within a congressman's right to do? or does it raise any legal questions? >> i think technically you might be able to make out the elements of a witness tampering charge. i don't know any reasonable prosecutor would charge it. you have to pruvl that he wrote the tweet and did so with an intent to prevent the witness from testifying. i think his intent is to harass or embarrass or score political points. so probably not crime. but certai

republican -- >> you're right, he is more popular with a smaller group of people, but they control the rncre definitely not going to flip and the numbers will be reversed, but you can imagine, and maybe this is terribly naive -- >> 30-60? >> that is a difference, and that is a different that may have more -- >> i think he has more to worry about house investigations now. >> i thought that too because they sound find more information. >> they are fundamentally partisans. at the end of the day he is a law enforcement official and he wants to figure out what happened, right? the red lines, apparently applied to mueller, he has no way to control what the house does. that is the prop for the president. >> yes, more wide ranging, more capable of exposing it, but at the mercy of being stonewalled by trump and needing the justice department to issue any subpoena they need. >> mueller is the only one that is lethal to his time in office. that is probably the best way to divy those two up, i think -- >> i think right now, right? who knows what they could reveal. they could lead to impreaeachme. >> n

a spokesman for the rnc saying the vast majority of voters oppose his radical agenda like they'll oppose all the 2020 democrats who rushed to embrace it. >> stand by, ryan. joining us, zjeff zeleny, chris cillizza and nia malika henderson. i want to start with you. the interview is a double-edged sword. bernie sanders is bragging about the fact that he moved the democratic party on major issues like medicare for all, making public colleges affordable and free in some cases. he's right. the flip side of that is if they all agree with him, why do they need him at this point? >> that's exactly right. as i was watching that i was like, well, if you have already won the issues, why are you running again? you're going to be competing against these folks who he has moved to the left on any number of issues. medicare for all, college. you do see some people in the party. we saw last night in the town hall with amy klobuchar, she's saying she's not bernie sanders. essentially when she talked about paying for college. and kamala harris doing the same thing saying she's not a democratic socialist.

joining me now is the rnc committee woman for california and i get this whole this land is your land,his land is my land but does she really think that is going to work as an argument? how does that bring anyone together? >> there's definitely a problem and how this administration is dealing with the immigration issue, creating a crisis that doesn't exist in the way the president is presenting it. there's a humanitarian crisis. >> laura: this is a personal home for all of us. >> we are at record lows and we can handle it. >> laura: we don't have the beds, we don't have the processing dancers, we cannot handle it. i know you don't want to talk about what she said that. because that is going to drive most people batty. she's very clever and kind of cool but this is where inexperience runs you over. >> the inexperience really shows for one particular reason. what she is referring to could potentially be a huge problem for native american tribes which are very much focused on having tribal sovereignty in determining both the membership and the citizenship and treaty responsibilities. >> l

his parents are members of the rnc.wall. >> getting hot chocolate will help trump make the wall. >> he had a lot of supporters online and then some that kind of were against you. are you going to stop selling your, doing the stand deal or? >> i'm not going to stop the stand until the wall is built. ainsley: he doesn't care what they say about him. gotten nasty comments. one person called him little hitler. brian: here is what you're saying. you're not saying that at all. ed says this, seems the left who scream stop bullying don't tolerate a little boy who disagrees with them. steve: don tweeted he is learning how to create a business. more than some kids do. ainsley: mary said the 7-year-old is getting more done than the swamp politicians are. brian: right. jillian enough of this little kid. toss to me. steve: tell you this, jillian, he raised $5,000. he would hike to deliver the money either in person to the president or somehow get it -- jillian: i didn't think you would be sharing that. brian: it was right there in f

ronna mcdaniel, rnc chairwoman. you are back in washington, d.c. where the snow is coming down.said he may have missed his time but bernie sanders is saying he raised $4 million in 12 hours. that's pretty good, ronna. >> that is a good haul. significantly more than kamala harris raised her first day. bernie sanders will force democrat to lurch further to the progressive side of the democrat party. you see candidates trying to out bernie bernie. the american people have to look at these radical ideas and what will it do to our economy versus the results of this administration, wages up, jobs up. our country is doing phenomenally well. why would we want to change that? >> bill: privately do you hope bernie sanders does well? >> i think they're alterible. the more in, i want a long, drawn-out primary. i want it to go well into the summer of 2020 so that it takes them a long time to pick their candidate. i know president trump is going to win. look at what he has done for this country and what they're offering. it is frightening what they are offering. >> bill: bernie sanders on his
