but it's a critical role for the trump administration to look at. the second part is that during the obama administration, there were many of the political jobs where you would normally fill them up with your people, your beliefs, switched over to career positions making it very difficult and the third part of this is you have individuals who have been in these agencies for 20-something years. they've dug their heels in and you look at veterans affairs and they have basically moved on regulations, that have-- and overreach of federal government that have impacted tens of thousands of veterans and in issues like providing them education. eric: i want to bring this out to juan. i think the most famous recent leaker in the world who also got fired, james comey. >> i don't know if comey was a leaker when he had been doing his job. he had already been fired when he leaked. according to corey lewandowski, detrimental to the trump administration, he's not talking about someone violating a-- >> r. >> what's the difference. the integrity of the organization,

so while congress has moved the obama administration from an action to some action, the trump administration has the opportunity to use these authorities to build maximum leverage with not only pyongyang, but with beijing. i'm encouraged by the actions the united states took to designate a chinese financial institution, this should just be the beginning. the administration with congressional support should make it clear to any entity doing business with north korea they won't be able to do business with the united states. a report released last month by an independent organization identified over 5,000 chinese companies that are doing business with north korea. these chinese companies are responsible for $7 billion in trade with north korea. moreover, the report found that only ten of these companies, ten of these companies control 30% of chinese exports to north korea in 2016. one of these companies alone was responsible for 10% of total imports from north korea. some companies were found to have satellite offices in the united states. according to recent disclosures from 2009-2017, north k

we put that in under the bush administration, it grew under the obama administration. we could have collapsed there he economy had we chosen to do that. the president chose an extremely deep and irreversible concessions. permanent and irreversible concessions on the part of the united states for temporary and reversible concessions on the part of the iranians. who have cheated on every deal they never made. -- they ever made. it did not stop them from getting a bomb. it put their program on a glide path to a bomb and it started a nuclear race in the region because the other actors in the region, including the israelis, are not going to wait 10 years to find out about this. at the heart of this deal with this philosophy that the democrats in particular came out of it. if you swept it to the side, it would go away. that we could turn the iranians into, if not allies, partners in the region. make no mistake, part of this deal was the deal of the region. resident obama believed if we got the nuclear deal out of the way temporarily, he could come up with an accommodation wit

byse countries identified the trump administration were previously identified by the obama administration under president obama. they suspended the visa waiver program for nationals from these six countries that were coming through the visa waiver countries. they have been identified by both administrations as countries that are hot that for terrorism. -- hotbeds for terrorism. we don't know what the white house has in terms of security threats, national security threats from these six countries. the president felt it was important enough to temporarily suspend a 90 day pause on pause onon and 120 day refugees from these countries. federal law allows the president to suspend immigration in cases of national security. language supreme court says a bona fide relationship with someone here in united states. you can exclude grandparents. the you think the administration is doing to narrow over reading of that supreme court order? we have our leasing the challenges start to come in. guest: that will be up for interpretation certainly. the supreme court only rolled on the conjunction. they have

that was all put in place by the obama administration. i also mentioned this idea of onerous regulations that the trump administration talks about. if you look at the numbers of what happened during the obama administration, the u.s. was producing about 5.4 million barrels per day. he then goes forward with his has beengenda, which described as everything from the death rattle to u.s. oil production in the u.s. oil industry, and went from 5.4 million barrels per day to about 9.4 million barrels per day. ,t's expected to go over shattering records. .e should step back a bit all of that was during the obama administration. host: we are talking to brian scheid. host: this week smart -- this week marks four months since rick perry became the energy secretary. what impact has he had on the future of energy production in the united states? what has been his role in the trump administration here? -- guest: hereally has really push this idea of getting to our full potential as a global user of oil. coal.l gas, sixalked about the different things,

you know, six months into the administration, if you look at the issues facing the administration, it'ss's fault. certainly not sean spicer's fault. neither of them told donald trump to do the interview with the "new york times." neil: by the way, the president six months in, jfk had trouble, bill clinton had trouble. >> ronald reagan changed light of people on the staff. the one word, why? how many times have you asked that about what donald trump has done? if you go crazy if you ask that. accept donald trump for what he is, he is a person that hates life inside the beltway. ain't for nothing, not just for the money he's living in new york. this is proof he's not going to, neil. >> david, he's not been a very good president. he's got good policy, not able to implement them. >> as far as executive decisions go i disagree with you strongly. he changed the way business is done in the country. >> do you think, do your people tell you, charlie gasparino, that this president would listen and that an anthony scaramucci in this case would be able to offer free, unfiltered advice and tell the p

the trump administration has called on venezuela to respect... an eye on that but the person we really wa nt an eye on that but the person we really want to hear from is sarah sanders, not speaking yet so as soon as she does we will turn to that. let's bring in barbara platt usher, live from washington. i guess if we have learnt anything from the statement from the white house, it is that when mr apple was hired, mr trump didn't intend to get rid of his previous chief of staff. either that or he didn't tend to get rid of him in the way it happened because mrtrump has him in the way it happened because mr trump has not said anything about the way mr scaramucci handled that. mr scaramucci was quite upfront and abrasive about that relationship and ultimately gave an interview to the new yorker where he spoke about the former chief of staff, reince priebus, with very vulgar language full of profanities and that became the big story, ultimately leading to reince priebus‘s departure. we knew mrtrump might have reince priebus‘s departure. we knew mr tru

what do you think the administration will do? how do they support it with the president of the united states saying repeal only now, on the other hand, let obamacare fail. >> this is another example of trump thinking hard sales tactics work in washington. he wants to put the senators on the line and say, hey, in 2015, like betsy said, you voted for repeal. now it's your time again. he wants to put them on the floor and get them to vote. this is inspired by tom cotton. let's do a repeal. let's see if they will put their names to this vote and we can move forward. do the hard sales tactic that is might work in new york city real estate work in d.c.? i mean, that's something we are all learning each day. as you can see president trump is learn thag as well. they are going to try the idea there is a two-year transition. if they vote for repeal in the next week, they have two years to come up with a great plan, not six months, not the deadlines they have created, two full years. here's another question. insurance markets, the deadline

previous administration. the fact that these cases are examples of this, canadian lumber case as some no, the fifth time we had cases. there is an intrinsic policy problem between the us and canada goes beyond the 1980s when the first case was brought, and a brief border war over it. these are not new issues, same with sugar from mexico. there was an agreement that was where the agreement was being enforced on the mexican side long before donald trump was elected. does this reflect a trump administration initiative? not really. the main thing to keep in mind as you look at what is going on is separate the rhetoric from the reality. this administration talk about trade in a different way than past administrations, there is not that much difference. when this administration, the wto decisions, any wto member does not follow every decision, has not been following for years. and the trading system does exist. it is not hyperbolic, to try to see what is going on first is how it is talked about and stop there. >> very

reporter: when it comes to the european partners, the administration was talking about how it wanted to get stronger enforcement and an addendum to the current agreement when it came to some of the sunsets. does the administration have willing partners in europe. the administration and secretary gotten pushback in? >> some would think that our european allies and our partners and friend would only be interested in adhering to the agreement. that's not our experience. they are concerned about the destabilizing activities that iran is in. this does not affect the united states and united states' interests. reporter: willingness? >> i know we have those conversations and the conversations are ongoing. reporter: the president was considering not certifying this. and he met with the secretary -- >> there were meetings at the white house yesterday and the meetings took place for a period of time and the secretary and the president had conversations the e ended up spending up hill. reporter: did secretary tillerson spoke to the president? >> they had a series of conversations. reporter: did

in the past that has been a nonstarter for this administration. hallie? >> hans, anything from pentagon officials on that aspect of it or too early to say for that? >> you know, in the past the pentagon has been very clear that they do not want to get into and, as well as the state department. this for that negotiation. >> got it. >> what they think is that they need to be able to conduct military operations with their south korean allies and that is not a bargaining chip. >> kristen, hans gave us the overview from the state department and white house overnight we saw the president reacting to this. raising eyebrows with this idea that china will have to do a heavy move. what does that mean? do we know? >> first, let's look at the president's tweet, hallie. north korea just launched another missile. does this guy have anything better to do with his life? hard to believe that south korea and japan will put up with this much longer. perhaps china will put a heavy move on north korea and end this nonsense once and for all. we've reached out to multiple white

if you look back to the bush administration, the times exposed to the cia black sites. they exposed the financing networking. they exposed the nsa surveillance program after being begged and pleaded with to stop, it's going to jeopardize national security. now they expose a covert intelligence officer. are there any consequences for "the new york times"? i know it's a freedom of speech issue, freedom of the press. is there anything that can be done if it can be proven that they are actively putting lives at risk. >> you can see this is happening in a broader context, not just the administration written large but particularly the commander in chief. president trump has taken a very aggressive stance towards the media, the attacks on twitter and elsewhere particularly against "the new york times," in attacking some of the reports as fake news. it's happening in that context of a very divisive time and there's nothing to answer your question directly specifically the administration can do to stop the publication of this kind of a story. but you're right, there's a push and

the trump administration has focused on north korea as one of its highest priorities. the dprk represents a profound threat to the stability and peace of the indo-pacific region today. it continues to thumb its nose at the united nations security council that has passed numerous resolutions banning the development and testing of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. it is vital that all u.n. member states and particularly the permanent five of the security council take all possible steps to send a message to north korea that it must halt its illegal behavior and focus on improving the welfare of its impoverished and long-suffering people. the trump administration is urging china to play a more constructive role in the pursuit of an enduring peace on the korean peninsula. the international landscape is uncertain, there are evident shifts in power between states and the scale and pace of technological advances is disrupting how we live, work and communicate. the government is working on a foreign policy white paper to be released later this year. this white paper will p

the trouble administration means is that use with that political rhetoric because they typically fly into the radar is in something that generates a lot of attention. the conversation and has changed that the most recently but against canada and mexico and the political escalation the secretary of commerce that is rather unprecedented to raise foreign leaders having to get involved. but second to moving more of those trade remedies using those around the world not just the united states but what i have in mind here but but that aluminum imports. and under that section so the last time we saw one of these investigations and it provides tremendous discretion to invoke sweeping sets of trade barriers if you choose. we can come back to this discussion if there is a national security argument for stopping the imports of steel or aluminum. the main reason i would argue of what we import is not from the military adversary. we have already halted much of this steel and aluminum from coming and. steel also comes from mexico germany and japan. historically they have been allies. other initiativ

get in this the administration the former is much more important than latter to say that the president we know respects people who have been successful in the business world, he reps military leaders, so this is somebody who can speak to the president having been in the real world, having been in the business world, had some success, the reason that's so important to the chief job of anybody dealing with communications in this white house, is dealing with the top communicate cher is to say the president. and telling him sometimes that he needs to be restrained in a way he communicates. it was fascinating to see him talk about how it's a been bad thing to have micro managed news cycle, moment by moment but if there's a force in american life that manages the news cycle is the constant tweeting of the president. so, you see in that answer a bit of a tension with what he wants to do in that job, on the one hand he wants to let the president speak more freely as he said averages good messenger during the campaign. that's absolutely the case. this is a traditional thing that white houses go

it fits a pattern that we've seen with the administration. he failed to dispose his meetings with the russian government in testimony before congress, and yesterday, the department of justice released a heavily redacted document that suggest that the attorney general failed to disclose any contacts with foreign governments on his security clearance application. this is the form he submitted. it is blank. calling into question whether the nations top law enforcement office should even have a security clearance. our resolution of inquiry on the judiciary committee forces the house committee on the judiciary to take up the systematic problems on this administration's conflicts of interest in collusion with russia. it is appalling, frankly, that the house judiciary committee has abdicated its duty to hold the trump administration accountable and refuse to even consider asking for answers on the trump ties to russia. the house judiciary committee should follow the example of republican leaders on the senate judiciary committee, who are taking actio

that's what the administration would like to see. if there is no waiver attached to the bill and it comes before the president's desk, would the president veto this legislation? >> right now we haven't made a determination because we don't think that this is an all or nothing process, nor should it be. in the current form, the lej legislation poses a number of risks to the u.s.'s ability to conduct foreign policy. until they get further into the process, we're not going to weigh in any further. jeff? >> you also said you would not pledge loyalty to president trump. is that something the president expects? >> i think the president expects anybody that works anywhere in government to pledge loyalty to the country. and i think that would be the only pledge of loyalty that anyone would be asked. >> i want to follow up on just the general russia question. can you describe the president being frustrated by these words said by donald jr.? how is he feeling? >> you know, the president wants to be focused on his agenda, and he'd much rather be

you know, dating back to the bush administration, certainly under the obama administration. these policies have been used to slow down imports from china. now, there are current problems in the global economy that we can attribute some of them to china. so we can talk about the over capacity problem in steel. the over capacity problem in aluminum. but these are really also just kind of symptoms of deeper problems which are that china is fundamentally a different type of economy than the united states, western europe, japan, korea, market oriented economies. when china came into the wto in 2001 there was an expectation that china may become more like us. more market oriented but it hasn't happened automatically. so we are at a critical juncture today, 15, 16 years after china's entry into the wto, about what to do about the fact that china has not become a market economy and are the rules of the trading system we have right now adequate to deal with that. the problems would have been there regardless of who won the 2016 election and whether or not we had the issues of steel an

the russia investigation and other scandals in the administration. one way to have that off is to start pardoning the people who otherwise might roll on other people, and eventually endanger the president. but that strategy ought to be met with very, very stiff resistance from congress. the president cannot pardon himself. i wrote an op-ed in "the washington post" yesterday with lawrence tribe discussing that. there is no example anywhere in human history where i've been able to find a king or anyone else pardoning themselves and having it be effective. even the pope sends confession to another priest. you do not pardon yourself. there's just no precedent for that. i don't think the founders would intend that the president of the united states could be a judge in his own case. that's what a pardon is. it's the president acting as a judge of equity to, you know, relieve defendants, those who have been convicted of criminal offenses, of the harshness of the criminal system, and the president cannot be a judge in his own case. he cannot pardon himself. >

this was the second time the trump administration certified it was. state department spokeswoman heather nauert, while affirming iran's compliance, said they're not off the hook: >> there are still a lot of things iran is doing that are very troubling to this administration. and so we're going to try and push on the iranian regime to stop its destabilizing actions. >> brangham: in fact, the president had to be convinced by his national security team monday to agree to this step, for now. simultaneously, the administration maintained a tough posture on iran's non- nuclear activities, imposing fresh sanctions on its ballistic missile program and its most elite military unit. u.s. officials say iran's ballistic missile tests, its support for the militant group hezbollah, and its increasing "harassment" of other nation's ships in the persian gulf violate the spirit of the nuclear agreement-- though they're not expressly prohibited. >> some of the actions the iranian government has been involved with, undermine that stated goal of regional and international

same thing with any number of people in the administration. t so with jared kushner because he has occupied a peculiar role where he lets it be known to the world, he has it both ways, that he's got great influence. he and ivanka crow about their supposedly moderating influence on the president, but then they -- president, even though it is not visible. but then they hold back and say they are not political types. one thing about jared kushner's statement, it bothered me that he dwelt for a moment on, yes, i went into that russian meeting, the famous one in june trump tower but it was a complete , waste of time, so i left right away. that is not the issue. the issue is this meeting was billed to donald trump jr.. if jared kushner read the subject line, it was billed to him too, which said russia, clinton, private, confidential, it doesn't matter what was in the meeting. it matters if they went to the meeting. his statement does not satisfy me in that regard. charlie: as susan said, it's not the beginning of the end, it is something else. are we

you saw that beginning under the administration of barack obama. rd number of months of economic growth and that is continuing under president trump, the trajectory that began under president obama, both in terms of jobs and reducing the unemployment rate. stock market was up under president obama as well. that doesn't mean that there aren't millions of americans who aren't hurting. reality is that folks at the top are doing very well. yes. if you have a lot of money in the stock market you're doing just great. but everybody else is being squeezed. people are working harder than ever. the gains are going to the top 1%. folks at the very top. everybody else is seeing flat paychecks or falling behind which is exactly why, alisyn, we put together a plan to address those issues, to grow the economy but also with more shared prosperity. >> chris van hollen, thank you for taking the time to be on "new day." >> thank you. >>> tropical storm develops in the gulf of mexico. who is in the storm's path? that's next. we send our kids out into the world, full of

general kelly, not the only military leader in his administration. the president puts a lot of weight on those military leaders to play a big role. marty: and jim mattis at defense. he has a fascination with generals. he has great admiration for the military, even though donald trump himself never served in the armed forces, as we all know . he just has this view that the disciplined,are are mission-centric, and are able to get things done. we will see. don't forget general flynn was also there until he got fired, but we understand he is still talking a general flynn on occasion in the white house. julia: this is an interesting thing. are we talking about him having respect for these generals the votto do you think he will explain the advice -- respect for these generals? do you think he will respect the advice he gets? will this perhaps be a turning point? marty: that is what a lot of people will be hoping, but again, this president has shown a remarkable ability to surprise people. can listen to kelly and actually work with him in terms of policymak

that is a decision that's already been made by the administration. so i don't anticipate a change in that, but i'mhappy to at least let you know the information that they have on it. >> the administration already made a decision to zero outfunding for unicef. that's the starting point as you said, it's not necessarily an ending point. we can continue to put some of thispush back -- >> and i think that that was just a directive that we got, youknow, that that was going to happen. we haven't had that on unicef and some other things, but what i will tell you is very important is that global health of women and children as we go forward, and so we have made sure that that same money is going to global health programs to do the same things withinthe u.s. aid but i'm happy to give you any information as to what the administration's stance on that. >> miss ambassador, it's great to see you here, it's refreshing to see you hitting there compared to where we saw last time. but ilove your attitude because you're not serving political party, you're not serving s

it's an effort that began under the obama administration. ent defense secretary jim mattis has endorsed much of the plan. debate over details has dragged on. president trump's chief of veterans affairs has removed two top officials from new hampshire's only veteran hospital. "the boston globe" reports review has been ordered for manchester va medical center physicians and employees say that facility was endangering patients with conditions such as a fly-invested operating room and surgical instruments that were not always sterilized. more and more veterans are getting an opportunity to go someplace other than a va hospital for treatment and they do not have to pay, and the government is not picking up the tab. casey stegall explains. >> this is not a sign of weakness. >> after 21 years served in the u.s. navy and multiple deployments, retirement from the military didn't come as easy for jeff or his family. >> what i was most shocked, my older son bore the brunt of most of my deployment and time away. >> he says he was in a dark place, had sou

it's going to be with him through the administration. it's going to linger. the cloud over this administration got darker. vonnie: it's almost not so much to do with trump junior, but jerod kushner who has a very active role in the administration. tim: they blurred the line. -- thosebeen very blurred boundaries are going to haunt them. aboutaven't been smart that worried people move in and out of these offices. from the trump organization into the white house, there are not clear boundaries. vonnie: fantastic roundtable. thanks to everybody. we are halfway into the trading day. it just got interesting. julie hyman is joining us. julie: there was a market reaction to the release of these emails. whether it's logical or not and sometimes the markets are not logical, we did see a clear reaction. one of our producers was emailing and he said this called into credibility the credibility of the administration. we've been bouncing around a little bit worried the s&p has shown the wrist and most lasting reaction. if you look at the chart, you see that rob. it has reco
