company can we call that treason? why not. >> you write trump's lap dogs now accept the labeling of opponents as treasonous. the white house says this was tongue in cheek. they didn't respond when we asked them about the un-american comment. >> first of all, donald trump doesn't really joke. he doesn't have much of a sense of humor. he makes pointed barbs and nasty insults. this really goes above and beyond anything that another president has done. listen, all presidents are partisan to a certain extent. unfortunately in our political system, people attack motives. but to call the other side treasonous and to attach yourself as the indication of patrioti patriotism. if you disagree with me, you are not a properatriot, it is the antithesis of democracy. really, in some sense, he's menacing the democratic framework that we work under. >> what's striking is the president, again, just a week ago, talking about bipartisanship. there's so many issues that reyer require bipartisan agreement. not the least of which is immigra

somebody said treasonous. i mean -- yeah, i guess, why not. can we call that treason?. >> as you know, the constitution has a very specific definition of treason. what was your reaction when you heard the president say this? >> treason is also a crime that is punishable by the death penalty in the united states, just to elaborate a point. you know, my reaction is i wonder how much we have become inerred to this. will we even remember he said this a week from now? how many of us remember that he called for the boy scouts to boo hillary clinton? he has done -- he has violated so many norms of behavior in terms of how we expect public officials, not just presidents of the united states, how to behave. it is so grotesque and so appalling. but, you know, i think we've all developed antibodies that we say, oh, you know, that's just him. and i just wonder what the cost is in terms of the future of our civic discourse. >> the constitution defines treason as giving aid and comfort to the enemy during warfare. jeffrey is right, punishable by death. >> i agree with everything jef

somebody said treasonous. why not? can we call that treason? why not? i mean, they certainly didn't seem to love our country very much. >> he was just joking, the white house said. >> the president was clearly joking. >> i think it is unamerican not to be excited about the fact people, more people in this country have jobs. >> the trump campaign used that excuse before after this remark. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. let's see if that happens. that will be next. >> both republicans -- >> treason is not a punch line, mr. president. >> and democrats stlamd treasonous comment. >> there's this thing called the first amendment in the constitution that protects the right of all of us as citizens to either cheer and applaud the president when we agree with him or to not applaud when we have differing priorities. he simply doesn't get that. he is not above the law and he is not the state and failure to cheer him when he thinks we should

somebody said treasonous. i guess why not? can we call that treason? why not? >> so some context there. he was talking about the state of the union. treason is a capital offense. it's punishable by imprisonment or death. no one is arguing that democrats looked especially thrilled with the president's state of the union, but we should also point out, do we need to? i guess we do, as demonstrated in this video from president obama's final address to congress, it is common for members of the opposite party to sit on their hands or at minimum stay stone faced when they don't agree with the policies of the current administration. here to talk about it, eugene robinson, msnbc political analyst and john heilemann. john, there's a theory that donald trump puts words in the wash, in the bloodstream to normalize them. treason was out there when -- "fire and fury" came out. if we hear the president using the word and we're talking about it, it takes the spin q the shock, the edge off of it if it's ever used in serious snns. >> yeah. the president is not with respect to hi

somebody said treasonous. i mean, yeah, i guess, why not? can we call that treason? why not? i mean, they certainly didn't seem to love our country very much. >> congressman, what is your reaction to the president calling you unamerican and treasonous? >> the president clearly doesn't understand the founding principles of this nation. literally, the reason the revolutionary war was thought was to question those, be able to speak your mind. to hear the president say it -- again, so often -- i thank senator flake for those beautiful words. people say it's just the president saying that. you cannot go to that point. as i said, i did not serve 24 years in uniform to be called treasonous. i served in that so my fellow americans can criticize who and when they want to in peaceful protest. this behavior has to stop. one of my biggest frustrations, i was saying earlier, that my republican colleagues were not speaking out. jeff flake, former colleague and friend of mine, did speak out. i'm grateful for that. >> sarah sanders says the presidentias joking, congressman. what do you make

can we call that treason? why not. >> trevor: sweet lord, treason?ou realize you could get the death penalty for that. ifn ivan the terrible would be, like, you killed them for what? bad vibes? ( laughter ) i never saw the president throw out the highest crime possible like ordering popcorn at the movies, yeah, treason. shall we get the butter? yeah, let's get the butter. it's date night. and throw in the treason as well. yeah! ( laughter ) there is another reason trump is this happy because last friday republicans finally hashtag released the memo, the g.o.p.'s much hyped report on whether the f.b.i. abused its power to come off the trump campaign. since we're talking about the memo again, folks, that means it's time for memo combat. ♪ ♪ ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: so after weeks of teasing, donald trump and the republicans finally released the memo, and according to trump it accomplished everything that he said it would. >> president trump claiming the republican memo from the house intelligence committee that he declassified actually clears

that it's treasonous not to stand and cheer for him? unamerican, treasonous? not know the definition of treason, i am not shocked about that, and everything to him is about him. there is this automatic tendency that he views the. >> he's the president. you have to be careful about your jokes. thanks for joining me for "inside politics." we'll see you back here tomorrow. wolf starts right now. >>> hello, i'm wolf blitzer. it's 1:00 p.m. here in washington. wherever you're watching from around the world, thank you very much for joining us. >>> memo wars. all eyes on the president as he decides whether to release the democratic counter to the disputed republican memo attacking the fbi. >>> silenced is golden. the president's lawyers reportedly advising him not to speak with the special counsel robert mueller, fearing the special counsel will catch the president in a lie. so what happens now? >>> and wall street roller coaster. the dow taking another wild ride one day after the worst point drop in history. why the trump administration is shrugging off the volatili

somebody said treasonous, i mean -- yeah, i guess, why not. >> gloria, treasonous is a pretty strong term. in fact the u.s. code on it, the definition is whoever owing allegiance to the united states levels war defense him or adheres to their enemies giving them aid or comfort within the united states or elsewhere is guilty of treason and will suffer death or be in prison not less than five years. what do you make of those comments? >> i think -- i think this is a president who is going to try to cut a deal on dreamers with democrats who's got a lot of work to do with democrats. and i think if i were to look into donald trump's mind, which is a difficult thing to do, but if i were to think about the whole political environment we're in right now, you have to think about the nunes memo of last week and how he regards the democrats and said what's going on in this country is tragic and that the fbi investigation was a hoax and the whole russia investigation is a hoax and of course he believes that's something the democrats are stirring the pot on. so i think it's all of a -- it's all o

somebody said treasonous. i guess, why not?t says the left has lost the credibility battle before the public even gets to hear their argument. heather: foxbusiness alert, the market opening in just a few hours, one day after the dow jones suffered a historic drop losing 1100 points in one day. foxbusiness here with the numbers, a lot of people's i on this this morning. >> reporter: futures point up a little bit then a minute ago. we will continue to watch that but we did have that 1100 point drop, we saw nearly 1600 points down the tao yesterday lost 4.6%, the largest such move since 2011. all those games we saw in 2018 have been erased, the dow is down 1.5% for the year, the s&p down 0.9% for the year. the nasdaq hanging on a little bit, up 0.9%. 's and think that could be a catalyst, rising inflation, rising interest rates are things investors are watching. jillian: it will be another big story. elon musk planning to drive a tesla to mars. >> only elon musk would do this was the falcon heavy, space x's new rocket will be laun

you know, yesterday the president says people who don't cheer are un-american and treasonous.ay, we're going to start having big parades with tanks and missiles. and, you know, people have to decide whether they want to have that kind of country. i mean, we have a country where we celebrate our troops, as barbara said, when they come home from battle in lower manhattan and we throw ticker tape. but the idea in peacetime, simply to have tanks rolluses t unamerican. >> one of the reasons we don't have american parades in america, being the power that we are, we don't need to show off our military might like countries like north korea or russia might need to or even a country like france which has a very strong military. but certainly is not on the level of america's military. it's kind of like why brag about it if you are the united states. >> usually showcasing the military men and women marching, arizona as opposed to the missiles and attention. >> right. as rebecca said no one in the world who doesn't know we have the best military in the world. it's important we honor our mi

or what is not treason. mind, a lot of things a president does seems to be based on his own ego. he wants people to stroke his ego, to clap for him. he wants his big military parade, which is a huge waste of money for one man's ego. that is inappropriate. it continues to show donald trump is not fit for office. >> that's what you think that parade, the idea of a military parade -- the president's supporters might say, this is a way to honor veterans and a way for veterans to have a day that's focused on them and to show off their might and show off their marching abilities and have pride in the service members. >> well, we already do have veterans day. we also have memorial day. we have a lot of amazing air shows all over the united states. to have this big military parade in washington, d.c., first of all, it makes me think, why would donald trump want yet another event where he has to make up crowd size? but more importantly, this reminds people of other countries, when you think of military parades, you t

. >> can we call that treason? why not. >> oh, boy. all right. we're going to begin today with the market in free fall. if you are one of the millions with cash in stocks or a 401k, it is enough to make you sick to your stomach. the dow is down over 2,000 points since the end of january and futures are down again. we got to find out why exactly is this happening. and what do you do now. you're in luck. i have the best team here to break it down this morning. starting on wall street and a look at just how bad it's been. on monday, the dow saw its biggest one-day point drop ever, nearly 1,200 points. that's all the gains the dow and the s&p made since january 1st. all of that is gone. in terms of value, the s&p has lost more than 1.5 trillion bucks since february 1st. in the last eight days, world markets have lost more than 4 trillion. nbc's jole delawarjoling kent. is this about market normalizing, or fundamentally, are we turning to a bad place? because market fundamentals, the economy, is very strong. >> yes, that's right, stef, the economy str

somebody said treasonous. i mean, yeah, i guess, why not? can we call that treason? why not? >> reporter: in ohio today, and in classic trump form, the president bragged about the economy, he bragged about the tax cut, he even bragged about his big win in ohio. and then, he said he's not one to brag. >> i am non-braggadocios. >> reporter: in a cryptic aside, the president seemed to allude to the republican intelligence committee memo, which claimed to show anti-trump bias in the justice department. >> oh, but did we catch them in the act or what? you know what i'm talking about. oh, did we catch them in the act? they are very embarrassed. they never thought they were going to get caught. we caught them. we're like the great sleuth. >> reporter: over the weekend, he tweeted, "this memo totally vindicates trump in the russia probe." but a top republican on the intelligence committee disagrees. >> i actually don't think it has any impact on the russia probe. >> reporter: the fbi has challenged the memo's accuracy. and the top democrat on the house intelligence committee calls it

somebody said treasonous. i mean -- yeah, i guess why not. can we call that treason? why not.y certainly didn't seem to love our country very much. but you look at that and it's really very, very sad. >> even if he's not serious about treasonous, you can't deny the sentiment behind that. if you don't clap for me, you don't cheer for me you are not on my side and not on the american public side. don't forget in that same state of the union the president called for democrats and republicans to set aside differences for the good of the country and if you could believe it, that address was less than a week ago. more "mtp daily" right after this. e about- i really want to help. i was on my way out of this life. there are patients out there that don't have a lot of time. finally, it was like the sun rose again and i was going to start fighting back now. when those patients come to me and say, "you saved my life...." my life was saved by a two week old targeted therapy drug. that's what really drives me to- to save lives. so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. well, that se
