when all four of us are in the ir and makeup trarl and getting ourselves done and running lines. es, it's a reversal. all the guest stars areguys. they're all really good looking. when we do the read-us there, we just watch. they come through, leave, come back. it's a lot of fun. >> it was inevitable that would happen. >> that's justin thoreau. remember when carrie made out with and walked out on h adbry cooper. >> i gotta go home. >> no way. i'm not letting you out. >> fine. >> what you mig not know about "sex and thecity." she had a no nudity clause. originally to be mr. big. >> we're all messes. basically -- put on a good underneath it, mess. >> we're going to be on "e.t."

we have the irs for that to look into nonprofits and the sec.hey're also claiming campaign violations. >> neil: and the predecessor had something like this and never brought it. >> and then they're calling for the dissolution of the trump foundation. the trump foundation wanted to shut down in december of 2016. laid out their plans. said we're going to shut down. they were unable to because of the schneiderman investigation. some of the stuff they're going after is the self-dealing stuff. the irs said if you call a foul on yourself and pay the fine, you're fine. the trump foundation it at least once or twice. >> neil: and the president said more money came out than came in. if that's impropriety, that's a funny way of showing it. kathy? >> if the money went out, who did it go out to? was he buying votes in came out on his birthday. i don't think it was a birthday present. >> neil: what do you think of the timing this when everybody is focused on the i.g. report? >> it's been two years. >> neil: that's not what i asked? >> there's always somethin

the president? >> not on this particular score. i mean if he's reviewing irsa with respect to tax withholdings and whether those are going up at the individual level. what is ironic and what brian pointed to is corporate tax receipts are at their lowest level that we've seen in quite a number of decades. >> as a result of the tax cuts? >> absolutely. >> isn't that illegal? i'm not a business reporter but you can't be hiding information, right? >> no, if he's looking at, you know, weekly irs tallies of how much, you know, withholdings you're seeing and i don't even know why they do that. that would be one way in which he sees something no one has yet seen. that's not front-running sensitive information. i also don't think that's the case. most of what we've seen is tax withholdings are down, not up, and so that would not support the case that deficits -- >> to ron's point there may be data that is publicly available that i'm not aware of. there may be something deep in the irs website where every day they update it with some rolling number. i've not had the opp

1970's, the central target of conservatives were not left wing democrats, though they certainly drew the iref the right, but republican and democratic moderate proponents of detente. this was the policy of easing relations with the communists. presidents richard nixon, gerald ford and jimmy carter, the three presidents we've been discussing, all supported this centrist approach to foreign policy. one that avoided the political extremes of the era. massive military escalation or massive military retrenchment. each of the presidents from this decade, two republicans and one democrat, believed that detente offered the best strategic option to rebuild american strength in the aftermath of vietnam. they argued that by reaching arms agreements with the soviet union, opening relations to china, and improving america's standing in certain contentious parts of the world such as latin america, the united states could actually increase its military strength. at the moment, after the heat of the early cold war, these were bold ideas that cut across the grain of the conventional wisdom in foreign policy.

it's the irs. i pay in full.or, thanks for that perspective. >> thanks, tucker. >> former secret service agent has followed this investigation from the beginning, all the tangents of it, and joins us now. a question that's arisen in the last 48 hours, with i think urgency, is when did the spying on the trump campaign begin and under what pretext? what do we know right now about that? >> tucker, we know the timeline and the origins story of how this started has changed multiple times. we were initially told it was the activities of carter page that started it. then when the carter page saga fell apart, then they shifted quickly to the george papadopoulos meeting with alexander downer in may. now that that's changing again, they're trying to go back to a 2015 story about british intelligence passing information that over here. lay that out, tucker, to make a single point to. the fbi is hiding what i call paragraph one. when i was a federal agent, when i had a credit card fraud case, when you write a report, tucker,

i was concerned when the irs went after conservatives, tea party conservative groups and targeted themm concerned about what i see from the fbi. when jamie came and said let's shield reporters from having freedom of the press rights violated, i said i'm all in. and then this incident with ms. watson and the staffer. so this is why this is so important. we are looking to have hearings on this and get this passed. we are picking up cosponsors every day. >> it's interesting. i know, and i heard you talk about leaks before. everyone is critical of leaks. but you were mostly critical, if i understand it correctly, of the people doing the leaking. you do not feel it is a problem for journalists to report what we have learned. >> of course not. government should go wholeheartedly after people leaking information, especially if it's classified. bring the full force of the government and the law on people who do that. but you cannot go after the reporter. that is -- freedom of the press, freedom of speech. this is the first amendment for goodness sake. so you cannot do that. go after the person

case will be the irs. they pursue something civilly against him, do they fine him, make him pay penalties, or is there a criminal charge down the road. >> david farenthold, thank you so much. great reporting as always. us posted. philip rucker,anian, thank you both as well. >> thanks, kasie. >> when we come back, states of play. corey stewart with controversial comments to say the least takes on tim kaine in virginia. in a state thas shown resistance to the president, does stewart stand a chance? he joins me live next. >>> as we go to break, one of our favorite things on the show, the very quotable senator john kennedy. >> i've never negotiated. the first thing i did was walk in to my opponent and slap him and call him an ignorant slut. >>> he's crazy as a loon as well as being sly as a fox. >> in louisiana we call that bias. we don't call that objective. >>> and there was a little hank -- hanky panky in the 2016 election. they think the american people aren't smart enough to figure it out. they are. >>> j

and i think that's what draws the ire of these players. >> welcome, everyone, to the white house -- >porter: this is not the first time the president has rescinded an invite. last year he called off the celebration for the nba champs the golden state warriors after star steph curry said he didn't want to go. >> throws it off the backboard! >> reporter: the 2018 finals are happening now, and basketball's biggest stars have already said the white house shouldn't count on a visit from this year's winner either. >> i mean, i know no matter who wins this series, no one wants the invite anyway. so it won't be golden state or cleveland going. >> i agree with lebron. the way we handled things last year, kind of stay consistent with that. >> reporter: president trump did break the tradition of inviting league winners by not we'ving out at all to the wnba champs, the minnesota lynx. they went to d.c. this week anyway to perform a day of service. for the eagles, it's now back to business. the super bowl champions prepping for a new season, saddled with expectations and now controversy. >> the mo
