trump's campaign or mr. trump himself. the times goes on to report mr. manafort is among at least three trump campaign advisers whose possible links to russia are under scrutiny. that times article says the fbi is leading the investigations. "the new york times" report that donald trump read, which he says provoked his tweet six weeks later, says that his fbi director comey is in charge of this investigation. donald trump didn't ask the fbi director about it. in this case, the "new york times" was good enough for the president of the united states, even though he said tonight that same "new york times" is, his words, dishonest media. the other source, you heard donald trump cite was bret baier on fox news the very night before donald trump sent out his tweet. and here is how bret baier provoked that tweet, according to donald trump. >> there is a report that june 2016, there is a fisa request by the obama administration foreign surveillance corps to monitor communications involving donald trump and several other campaign officials. then they get turned d

like donald trump. he says the most important rule we can teach anybody in business, they won't teach you this at wharton or harvard, if somebody screws you, screw them back and screw them ten times and 15 times over. this is a guy who looked defeated now and kind of was low key about it. i believe this obsessive need for revenge will cause him to lash out and do things at republicans, obamacare, maybe everyone. >> nick, republican congressmen are sensitive to the idea of revenge and trump being revenge. not one of them, not one of them seems to fear that. >> well, i think they fear voters more than trump, but, my greatest concern art revenge is ultimately the revenge about obamacare and we are going to see one test of that very soon when we have the house of representatives lawsuit against the extra on obamacare and if the trump administration does not defend against that suit, then obamacare is deeply sabotaged and president obama said today democrats own obamacare, it's going to die. i fear he is sig

my larger point is that the trump supporters who keep calling in to say let trump do doing --trump deft trump let trump do his presidency, the problem is he has no political experience. he seems to have no idea what the presidency involves. he has only appointed something like three dozen of almost 1000 appointments that need to be made to keep his government running. with sayingproblem his presidency should be allowed to play itself out is there is no presidency. he is substituting tweets, distractions for any actual presidential actions. that is my point. host: allen in kings park, new york. good morning to frank. go ahead, frank. caller: i love the piece that you just showed with lindsey graham. i totally agree with him. with the last caller, the democrats are holding up all of president trump's cabinet picks. we need some action to get his staff in order so maybe he could govern a little better. host: i think on that, frank, they have moved most of them. there is sonny purdue, the agriculture secretary. he has not come before the senate yet because the paperwork had not come over

that is not donald trump's policy. none of those gutter for russia to roll back some of the policies. chris: i'm sure some people are saying enough already, but i want to follow up on that time. there is a possibility you investigated. that is true. there's also the possibility it isn't true in the president just flew off the handle. that would be pretty troubling, would not comment the idea of president would make a charge this explosive about another president without any evidence. >> all presidents are human, chris. if the allegations in the media are false, i can tell you based on things i know that the remaining accurate reports in the media over the last several months. it's understandable donald trump would be frustrated at the leaks of inaccurate information which has the potential revealed capabilities that the united states that we don't want adversaries to know. chris: let's step back and look at the big picture. the senate intelligence committee has been investigating this whole issue for sun. at time. i'm

to trump. so, you know, i think some of the coverage was wrong headed. a lot of it was driven by our mainstream media following the lead of right wing media. steve bannon was the chairman of a non-profit, an obsecure non-profit, that founded the creation of a book called clinton cash which was a highly inaccurate account of the clinton foundation that reflected on hillary a lot. it became extremely poplar on the right. but it got a lot of ink on my view undeserved from mainstream sources. the shenanigans of the trump administration were neglected in the mean time except by the washington post in the end. but the clinton foundation had been under attack for more than a year by then. i think there was a problem in the coverage of hillary clinton, yes. >> it is an appropriate question. i remember malcolm-x saying the same thing you said about goldwater versus johnson and liking it straight up. if we oppose trump, what about mike pence? >> got a minute left to tackle that one. >> that was directed

amy: that was donald trump. despite speaker ryan's pledge during the conference call, he began working with president trump immediately after the november election, vowing to help lead a unified republican government. legal challenges to president trump's revised travel ban are mounting as the order is slated to take effect at 12:01 p.m. thursday. federal judges in both hawaii and maryland are slated to hear arguments today claiming the ban targets muslims and is a violation of the first amendment. trump's executive order would bar refugees from entering the country fofor 120 daysndnd would bar all people from iranan, lib, syria, somalia, sudan, and yemen from entering the country for 90 days. president trump met with saudi arabia's deputy crown prince mohammed bin salman at the white house tuesday, during which the two reportedly discussed their opposition to the landmark 2015 iran nuclear deal. price mohammed and president trump were also expected to discuss u.s. arm sales to saudi arabia for the ongoing saudi

this is a win for trump. he ends up looking good, but it should not end any of the questions about what is in all of the other tax returns. >> i turn to you, josh, do you think it's a home run for president trump or do you think it's the public seeing president trump putting on a show? i mean, a home run? >> i don't know if it's a home run, but i would give it a double. one of the questions donald trump had is is he really wealthy and does he really pay taxes, and we would see tax information from nine different years and none that showed an income of over a million dollars, and this is the first tax return that we have seen showing he is a really wealthy guy, and he paid a substantial tax, and depending on how you calculate his pay, a lot of rich people pay less than that, and mitt romney famously paid less than that, and when you own real estate that can be misleading, because it's not so much about what tax rate is applied, it's does the income reflect how much income you have. if you have real estate prop

the office has jurisdiction over trump tower and the trump organization. ethics watchdogs wrote to preet bharara to see if he was seiff -- sevening money through his business. if he is, that would be unconstitutional. two days after receiving that letter from those ethics watchdogs groups asking him to look into that possibility, preet bharara was told to resign. when he refused, he was fired. these are the reasons people want to see his tax returns. want to see his tax returns. what is his relationship with deutsche bank? what is his relationship with foreign sources of income. is he receiving any money through his business from foreign sources? is he receiving any money through his business or through any of his real estate deals that can be traced back to foreign governments? i mean, his tax returns should show any income he has received from investment partnerships, this strange-shaped building was a trump project in azerbaijan where the trump organization partnered with family members of a notoriously corrupt azerbaijani government official who also h

than president trump himself. this point in time it really does seem the russians that were not excited after president trump was elected, certainly not unhappy to see him elected. they're in a much more sober mood at this time, they say they believe the lifting of sanctions is not something that is going to happen sometime soon. but generally many are not happy at the pace that the relationships between the u.s. and russia are evolving, they seem tore heading towards a low point. right now russia is not holding the president himself responsible for that but the russians by this time would have hoped for relations to be in a better state than they currently are, isha. >>> well, we're hearing that the presidential hopeful john huntsman has been asked to do the job and has accepted and still needs to be confirmed by the senate. it's an interesting pick, given the number of scathing remarks that donald trump made about huntsman in the past. in 2012, this is what president trump tweeted. he said john huntsman called t

that's not donald trump's policy. none of those things are good for russia. >> chris: i'm sure some people are saying enough already, but i do want to follow up one more time, there is the possibility, as you say you will investigate it, that it's true? there's also the possibility that it isn't true and that the president just blew off the handle. that would be pretty troubling, the idea that would make charge but another president without any evidence? >> tom: all presidents are human, chris. if a lot of the allegations are false, there are many inaccurate reports circulating in the media over the last several months. it's understandable that he is probably frustrated at the leaks of inaccurate information, which also have the potential to reveal capabilities of the united states that we don't want our adversaries to know. >> chris: would talk enough about the tweets. let's step back and look at the big picture, because the senate intelligence committee has been investigating the whole issue for some period of time.

so the way to really fight trump is not to fight trump, if you just fight trump you are doing what iney call, if i get it correctly, optimal healing. you just ease the pain. we must find the cause of it. and that's what bothered me although he may be a nice person and so on, but her coalition, her rainbow coalition let's call it, was an incredible one. from wall street to occupy wall street. everybody was there. and i think she stood for what was wrong with the democratic politics. you make all the concessions to politically correct and so on and so on, just not to address the key economic question. and that's what gave birth to trump. that's why i'm also a big fan of bernie sanders. one might disagree with this or that about bernie sanders, but you know, he did what everyone thought it's not possible. he mobilized precisely those disappointed white workers who otherwise voted for trump. that's my, i think it is so again -- sorry, back to trump. my idea is that if democratic party remains what it is, this liberal establishment let's call it, even if we win over this trump there will b

crossed donald trump would have his or her political career destroyed by a trump tweet. he would fire the tweets into the congressional districts of the members. the congressmen lived in fear of donald trump. when the president got tired of negotiating on the health care bill, he issued the ultimatum to the republican house that it was time to vote. it was time to shut up and vote. and if they didn't vote for the trump bill this time, they would not get another chance. the ultimatum laid it all on the line for president trump and now we know what a donald trump ultimatum means to congressional republicans. absolutely nothing. president trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in the first two months at 37% in the latest poll. that is now a higher job approval rating than president trump has with his own republican congress. today, donald trump did what no president before him has publicly done on health care reform, he quit. he gave up. he could have said, we are going to spend the weekend working on this bill and see if we can bring it to a vote next week.

phones in trump tower. that is a google search of wiretapping. but he is probably not lying about brett bayer being the rein for his tweet because he said this the night before president trump's tweet. >> there is a report that june 2016, there is a request by the obama administration intelligence core to monitor communications for donald trump and other officials and they're turned down. in october they renew it and they do start a wiretap at trump tower with computer and russian banks and it doesn't show up anywhere by reporting, have you heard that? >> again, like i said, no one that i know in congress has been presented with that evidence. >> from his mouth to donald trump's desperate angry tweeting fingers. that probably is the source of his tweet. what we know from the senate intelligence committee was that it was not anyone in the government of the united states. that is what the committee said today. the president of the united states did not use any of the resources that confirm the words of that t

accusing former president trump of tapping of his phones sat trump tower the month before the electionthe president tweeted this. how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. this is nixon watergate. bad or sick guy. president obama respond saying quote a cardinal rule of the obama administration was no white house official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the department of justice. as part of that practice, neither president obama nor any if white house official ordered surveillance on any u.s. citizen. any suggestion otherwise is false. but mr. obama's statement says neither he north white house ordered the wiretapping. not that in trump's organization wasn't tapped. the other big story of the day. president trump issuing an extreme vetting executive order. iraq lists in the previous order a was removed this time because of improved screening and reporting by the iraqis. green card current visa holders exclude from the president's new order. jeff sessions ann and john kelly described the order as critical to our n

david: the trump foundation? the trump foundation is an interesting case because it like the name and every rich person who has a foundation has their money. you give it away as time goes on. trump was not like that he . to stop giving one to his own foundation. it was all other people's money and he given away when they thought they were getting donald trump's money. bill: one of the first rules of politics is opm. if you are running for office, other people's money and not your own. you italy's put some of your own money in ytoo. david: most people would save money -- spend money to save time and hassle. trump would go through a huge amount of hassle to spend somebody else's money and not his own. we found a group in palm beach called the palm beach police foundation and they paid trump to earn $75,000 a year to rent out his club for one night. . $75,000 for one night. want -- he wants to give their money and not his own money. he calls a widow, saying i'm charity, would you like to donate? she said sure, they

>> the trump foundation? the trump foundation is an interesting case -- almost .verybody else he stopped giving money to his own foundation, he gave no money to his own foundation, he gave it away to people who thought they were getting his money. he didn't even give his own money to his own foundation. >> one of the first rules of politics is opm. if you are running for office you always spend other people's money. but usually a foundation, you are expecting to put it -- they get money for other people but you put some of your own -- >> one interesting thing about this, most people who are wealthy spend money to save time. trump would often be the other way around. he would go through a huge amount of hassle to spend someone else's money. the palm beach police foundation, 200 $75,000 every year to rent out mar-a-lago for one night. money,s to give them but he doesn't want to give his own money. he calls up his foundation, and ask the friend's widow, i am gathering money for the palm beach police foundation.

or trump tower? what do you expect is the next move in that exchange? >> look, i don't know how many more times we can go through this, lawrence. it's very clear. either there was a wiretap because there was evidence of a crime, or this is just fiction that has been created from the nethers of the president's mind. and i don't know where we go from this. it doesn't seem like this there is a doctor there is a very clear-cut answer. the answer is going to be either there is a crime and someone is investigating or this is just vapor wear. and this needs to be a clear answer. and i think we'll get it. that's the short of it. >> it seems everyone involved, if they have to bet, betting everything they have on this is just a figment of donald trump's imagination. but to go with lindsey graham's construction in the letter, which is how shocked they would be to discover that donald trump had actually done something worthy of getting this kind of surveillance on him, let's just go with that for a second. and t

trump or that president obama was wiretapping trump. no. we were just protecting our own national security by seeing who was contacting the russians and who the russians were contacting here in america. now, i don't know as i said that that's true, but that would be one possible explanation for what's going on here. but, again, a total mischaracterization if that's the case from donald trump, who's trying to distract attention from the real story, which is that, you know, in this administration, it seems that every time someone overturns another rock, there's another russian agent lurking underneath. so we've got to understand what is going on with the trump administration and the trump campaign's contacts with russian intelligence officials. >> what have you been hearing from constituents about concerns over this? is this something on their radar or has it not publed up? because the markets are doing well. people think in certain circles that president trump is being effective in other capacities. >> no. people are very concerned about
