susan: yep.k policy, madison, which we know president trump he is is not happy about the central bank and federal reserve chairman jerome powell. just from your sense is it wise for the white house and the president, the sitting president to be dictating central bank policy which is supposed to be independent by the way of the executive branch? >> i think some people are concerned about this, as you're seeing, people support what the president is saying here. robert makes a good point, never good to talk against the usa. democrats say we want the economy to be down. that is food for news election of the as americans we should want things to be up and people doing well in this country. that is something we need to bring attention to whether you're republican, democrat, independent, a trump supporter or not a trump supporter, we want things to go will. that benefits all of juice robin, what do you think? >> most definitely. everybody, nobody wants to suffer in this market. this should not be a part

the chinese are pretty quiet, susan? >> i think messaging was very different on both sides, if you look at papers, china versus the messaging from the trump administration. at the end of the day we've been here before. many administrations chinese leadership have been talking to previous u.s. presidents and you know, i would say it has been encouraging. there is a lot to like in some of these agreements. market access, intellectual property protection, hopefully we're getting there at some point and not going 25% of $200 billion worth of tariffs but i would still say 90 days, 90 days is not enough time to get what the u.s. administration wants. these are tough, structural changes they're asking for. these are 90 days that could be extended. i think that is what the market is forgetting here. cheryl: we don't want promises from the chinese. we want deals. i sound like president trump but that is the truth. we need a deal in writing. morgan, gary, susan, thank you so much for helping us react to breaking news today. connel

susan, hennessy, is there a deep state? >> i suppose you could stack the deck so the term "deep states" which was originally applied to the turkish government. applies to an extra judicial body operating outside the constraints of the rule of law. carrying out extra judicial killings, a an extreme shadow government. does that exist in the united states? no. does anything close to that or roughly resembling that exist? no. now if instead wowpt to say the "deep state" is some group of unelected officials that operate in ways that are not fully transparent to the public, yes. there's a national security bureaucracy. there is a career civil service. i would describe that as the ordinary function of the u.s. government, that's existed in lots of different contexts. the national of national security space a lot of it by necessity has to occur in secret. so it becomes difficult to maintain and especially a president who is using these terms to call into legitimacy that work works for i believe is done pursuant to the laws oversigh

and i agree with susan 110%. this particular republican party, they ran on the fact that essentially the tenants of obamacare, and so with a lot of families who have children struggling with opioid addiction, they themselves struggling with opioid addiction, they need this health care. and so once you've given someone something, you can't really take it away. right? donald trump would essentially be destroying his party if he did that. so i hope, though, that people will still actually try and, you know, lobby their members of congress to make sure that they fight for it, because, again, trump had unified government and squandered it. >> and just to your point, last week, a poll came out and 54%, one of the highest ever, people favored the affordable care act. >> right. because it works. i mean, this is something that fdr couldn't do. this is something that lbj couldn't do. this is something that bill clinton didn't do. and it's something that obama got done, and we realize, we see all other democratic nations ha

susan, have you heard the question? your thoughts? >> i did.ust one thing that sticks out there, though, is that the president and michael cohen have been named in the southern district as having corruption with the campaign in the payments to stormy daniels. so just taking that off the table, there has been problems within the campaign. now, granted, it was a separate issue. but when it comes to russia, the president lied to the american public. now, that is not a chargeable offense. but for what reasons was he doing that, and that's going to be the concern, and i think that's what we're going to see laid out by the special counsel. and i think that we have to be patient and see the whole case laid out because we only are seeing kind of bread crumbs now, if you will, and trying to speculate based on charges that have been brought against some individuals and the great reporting that's been done. >> yeah, some of those bread crumbs being laid out by the president himself, frankly, because here is what he has said consistently with respect to hi

why is $5 billion such a big hurdle, letter eight, and b, can described by susan collins pass?e bill that i worked with senator collins on, the only reason it didn't pass his act of lobbying against the bill by president trump and another of conservative republican senator. that got 52 votes on the floor of the senate -- excuse me, 34 votes on the floor of the senate earlier this year. it also had a pathway to citizenship for dreamers. it was a broad bill with detailed plans, not just for a single, concrete wall across the whole border, but for investments in monitoring security, and double fencing. >> martha: i can't help but think, it always sounds to me, when you really break down with the president says, talks about using technology, it sounds like you are all talking about the same thing. democrats say we want border security, and the president says he wants a secured border. so both sides want it so that people aren't climbing over the fences, putting small children under the walls, so there is entry points. why can't you all just get together and work this out? >> that's

bush. >> susan. >> so i'm susan page, my first campaign was in 1980, i covered president carter's final campaign trip and then i covered the white house and national politics since then. >> well, i have served president clinton as martha said, for two years at the state department in '93 and '94 and then went to the white house in 1995 and spent four years, which is comparatively a long time for a press secretary to be there, but i had an extra bonus year my last year because of a certain intern at the white house. >> i remember those days well, as much as i may try to forget them, i just started covering the white house in the reagan administration and went through george h.w. bush, had an opportunity and privilege to interview five presidents. so here we are. so, mike, let me start with you with this question and then ask all to chime in. as we've noted there is an often adversarial relationship between the press corps and the white house, and yet there's also a fundamentally shared objective of both sides, which is to inform and engage the american people and actually the world becau

seung kim and susan, good morning to both of you. things jim and i really find telling about how the american people feel about potential shutdown. 54% of americans oppose a shutdown. if there is a partial government shutdown, 43% blame trump and the republicans. your read? >> there's no signs at all, not even a deal in the works that they're even talking to each other. one thing that might encourage the white house to try to make a deal before the shutdown friday night would be these numbers. it shows nearly 2-1, americans are inclined to blame the president and republicans, not congressional democrats for a shutdown. and that should be no surprise. last week, the president told congressional leaders on the democratic side he would be proud to claim the responsibility for the shutdown and americans seem to be taking him at his words. >> seung, listening to the president, he said a lot about the wall. one thing he said is we need to build a wall but moved from there saying we are building a wall, upgrading border fences. we wondered

susan, i want to talk to you about this.ou feeling seeing this, thinking much more could be coming? >> well, first of all, you're hoping that either it gets over with quickly and without directly attacking the president, right? that many presidentses have survived scandals an involving their aides, even close aides, obviously the national security adviser is a close aide. it's not the first scandal involving a national security adviser. does it reach the president himself? does it reach into his family? i do think a number of people mentioned jared kushner, if obviously donald trump jr. was involved in the trump tower meeting. i want to end bill saying january 24th, 2017, was the fbi's first interview with michael flynn at which he's accused of lying to them, four days into the trump administration. the remarkable nature of this, the fact that a president was essentially entering office already under scrutiny with his top advisers not only lying to top government officials within days and hours of occupying their offices, th

susan, why don't we start with you if we could. susan, you were a teenager when your father became president of the united states. what is it like to go out on dates when you have young men, are they intimidated to call you up and how do they get through the gate and the secret service watch you where you go, what is that like? >> they do, david. it was difficult. i was lucky. unlike a lot of other presidential children, i grew up in alexandria, virginia, across the river. i didn't have to change schools. i was in an all girls school in bethesda, maryland. so i would date the episcopal boys when i would come home for the weekend. and then they did -- i would, first of all, the poor boys show up just wringing wet. it wasn't just going on a date. it was having to meet the commander in chief. that is always the hardest part. but, yes, they would follow us in another car. i always rode with my date when it was possible. all depending what was going on. if there were threats or different things, there were times that we were not allowed

susan, new column. here's what strikes me.uote, you write, when i started writing this column, the freak-out was over syria. by the time i mifinished it, mattis was resigning. mattis was out. what does the president's latest move on syria, afghanistan, the fact that mattis could not stomach it, as barbara just laid out, anymore, what does it tell you about the state of affairs? >> well, poppy, thank you. i think first of all, this is a day that america's allies had been dreading and fearing and hoping wouldn't come for the entire almost two years of the trump presidency. this is a worst-case scenario from their point of view. i have to tell you, even i was very shocked yesterday. the reason is not that i knew there was a rift, obviously, between president trump and secretary mattis for a long time, but i had been assured, as i'm sure many others had been, by sources close to mattis for a long, lawn time, that he would not leave unless there was some absolutely unbridgeable gap or something absolutely directly that he was order

susan page, what did family mean to george h.w. bush?> i think family meant everything to george h.w. bush. and that he was -- he was building a career, first, in the oil business and then in politics so he was gone allot but he adored his children and his children adored him. and one reason he was such a good partnership between george and barbara bush is she kept those home fires burning. she raised those kids at a time when he was spending a lot of time with his career but also a family man. he was bitter -- bitter after losing re-election in 1992. and the thing that wiped away any last vestige of bitterness was when his children started to succeed in politics. and especially when george w. bush was elected to the oval office. >> can i say one thing at the risk of dorking out already. i don't think embittered is the right way. i think he was crushed and disappointed. i don't think he actually ever had a bitter bone in his body. i think that's generational. >> not to take this over, but i -- embitter may be the wrong word. but he was m
