amy: and then i want to turn to the man that president trump is nominating to replace dr. david shulkin posted yes, donald trump has tapped white house physician ronny jackson to head the department of veteran's affairs. dr. jackson, a naval officer, served as white house physician under presidents george w. bush and barack obama. he received some criticism for his enthusiastic report about trump's physical condition after trump's exam in january. health is his excellent. his cardiac performance was very good. he continues to enjoy the significant, long-term cardiac in overall health benefits that come from a lifetime of abstinence from tobacco i now call. all clinical data indicates the president is very healthy and he will remain so for the duration of his presidency. amy: the doctor was the question about trump's diet of hamburgers and i is soda and he said it is all in the genes, he has good genes. suzanne gordon, talk about dr. ronny jackson, the president's doctor who he wants to make the head of this $200 billion agency, as you said, the second largest in government.

it was so disorienting seeing a different side of trump dr, like finding out your grandma works part me as a dominatrix. that's right, they call me the queen of nipple play! ( laughter ) and just like a dominatrix, tripp trump pushed the limits because at one point mike pence tries to step in and say calm down, there will be due process before anyone's guns will be taken away and trump is like, or -- >> but the pokes is to literally give families and local law enforcement additional tools if an individual is reported to be a potential danger to themselves or others, allow due process so no one's rights are trampled. >> or, mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that's another system because a lot of times by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. i like taking the guns early. you know, the police saw that he was a problem. they didn't take any guns away. that could have been policing. i think they should have been taken them away anyway, whether they had the right or not. >> trevor: okay, my mind is going to e

dr. jackson is now the president's pick to pick the v.a. >> trump likes dr.nally quite a bit. what you are seeing once again is that he really prefers personal chemistry rather than their curriculum vitae. a lot of people are concerned in the white house how he will do in confirmation hearings. but the president really likes company, likes talking to him. by monday afternoon the president was speaking about this to a small number of people in the white house. again, it should not be decried i guess the president for his second year on people he personally feels comfortable with is an example. >> do we know anything about whether or not dr. jackson has ever managed anything? >> my understanding is no. i suppose i could be be corrected. this is a very troubled one he will be taking over and a major question is whether he can do that. >> let's talk about hope hicks's departure. today is her last day. she was by the president's side even before he was president. she is a trusted friend, confidante and aide. why the holdup in naming who would be the next director

president trump in a statement said dr. jackson is highly trained and qualified and said that as a servicemember himself jackson has seen first hand the tremendous sacrifice our veterans make and has a deep appreciation for the debt our great country owes them. anne-marie? >> well, john dowd is denying the possibility that he pardoned two of the president's advisers. >> president trump's lead lawyer in the russia investigation talked about pardons for two of the president's former advisers. according to "the new york times." the "times" says last summer attorney john dowd spoke with the first national security adviser michael flynn about a presidential pardon as special counsel robert mueller was gathering evidence against him. flen later cut a deal with mueller's team. the "times" reports dowd also spoke with manafort's attorney. flynn later cut a deal with mueller's team. they also discussed a presidential pardon with paul manafort's attorney. manafort spent a few months running mr. trump's campaign. he's been charged but

dr. jackson faces confirmation. he is an active duty navy physician. in 2013, he was nominated by president obama to be physician to the president. cnn learned president trumpated dr. jackson as a replacement at the v.a., but people he was speaking with did in the take him seriously. >> the nomination is not going over well with veterans groups. the executive director of the american veterans groups says it has come to a screeching halt. we are disappointed and more so we are concerned. concerned at the nominee. we don't see anything in the bio that makes him fit to lead. >> in a stinging op-ed published overnight, david shulkin takes aim at people who want to privatize the v.a. he said veterans issues were dealt within a bipartisan way in the last few months, but shulkin says the department has become entangled in a brutal power struggle. >> he says, quote solutions should be determined on the merits of the arguments. the advocates for privatizing v.a. reject the approach. they saw me as an obstacle to the privatization that had to be removed. that is because i am convinced privatization is a political issue aimed at rewarding select people and companies w

-- twisting in the wind like that. >> steve, can i ask you, because when it comes to loyalty, trump likes dr is white house doctor, gave him clean bill of health. here's some of the things that jackson said about trump. >> there is no indication whatsoever that he has any cognitive issues. president very sharp. very articulate. a lot of energy and stamina. look at his vision, he's 71 years old, he can drive if he wants to without glasses. washes his hands frequently. es uses purel. he'll be fit for duty if he's elected for another term. >> steve, look, he's a doctor, respected doctor. is he the best man to run the second largest agency in the united states, or is this the yes man he wants? if trump is watching, that's why i picked that guy. >> let me say a couple of things of the first of all, in response to what robert said, all this talk, crisis in the white house, madness, but you know old saying, new saying i should say, that donald trump is the worst president ever unless you look at results. and what's happening with the economy, bob, and jobs, and all these things are so positive, and

certain the rear admiral is deeply committed to our veterans as well. >> why do you think president trump chose drckson? >> i can't answer that question. the president has his desires and opinions and every person has the right to pick who they want to be there. i will tell usec tear shulkin was in front of us a couple times just recently, maybe a couple weeks ago and he was asked a question numerous times about privatization or if he's been forced or pressured to do so. he said no. i will tell you within the administration and also within the veteran population, veterans are none a monolyth. there are certainly veterans who desire more private care or privatization and there are veterans that want to keep the va as it stands now. me personally, i think it's the duty of government to protect and take care of our veterans afterwards. they have to have the full responsibility. however, there are circumstance, and in my area we have the fastest growing veteran population in the nation, so there is more need for partnerships to deal with the care that's needed for that veteran population. there should

so tell us a little bit more about what you know about the relationship between trump and dr. jackson. this is somebody who didn't come to the white house with trump. he had been there under obama starting in 2013. where did that relationship come from? how close is it? what do we know about that? >> this is, as you point out, someone who served in the obama administration. it is notable that he was able to forge this relationship with president trump. this is someone who's spent a lot of time with the president, again suggested putting him on a diet. someone also able to give him truth talking, as well. but i think that this developed over time. he also is someone who looks the part. he was very strong in that briefing that we had. and remember, the president sometimes likes to pick people who look the part who he thinks are strong characters in front of a camera. he thinks that's part of being a part of his administration. there were a range of different farcs that played into this. how is this going to play once he needs confirmed on capitol hill? that's where the real quest

and the guy searching for the tree in the trump administration is dr. ben carson, secretary of housing and urban development, and real-life "zootopia" sloth. when he took over at hud, he had no relevant experience, and one big goal: saving taxpayer money. >> there is a tremendous amount of waste that's going on. we're finding that waste. >> like, carson says, when another federal agency was getting rid of its old computers and by rules had to destroy them, a loz of $750,000. carson said hud wanted them but bureaucracy was getting in the way. >> lawyers came in and said, "no, you can't really give that to this agency because of rule number 671." and what a bunch of crap. >> trevor: watch your mouth, boy! look at that-- reusing old computers. that's great for taxpayers. yeah, i mean, it sucks for the people who work at hud, you know, because he basically did that thing every kid hated you know when you thought you were going to get fresh new kicks and your mom was like, "great news! your cousin jimmy is getting rid of his sneakers and it's perfect because

dr. rice: i think the difficulty is not just that president trump's view is different than president obama's view, one would expect from one administration to the other to be some differences. the greater concern is president trump's view diverges from every american president going back to world war ii. we have assumed a role of global leadership based on our values, based on our interests, where in essence our contributions to global security and to the global economy are viewed not only as being beneficial to the united states, which obviously they are, but beneficial to others and we see the benefit to others as being good for us. in other words, american foreign policy since world war ii has been predicated on the notion that we don't live in a zero sum world. what is good for the united states is not necessarily bad for another. or what's bad for somebody else is not necessarily good for the united states. president trump has turned that concept on its head. and he's embodied that concept in the slogan america first as if all his predecessors have not put u.s. interests first. they hav
