i refer to it as uninformed conjecture. >> jimmy: in case you're wondering what uninformed conjectures, her boss gave us an example of it this morning. he was watching fox. as he does. they had a former federal prosecutor named andrew mccarthy on the show. who said -- >> there's probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign. >> jimmy: there's probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign. doesn't get more solid than that. so trump tweeted, wow, word seems to be coming out that the obama fbi spied on the trump campaign with an embedded informant, andrew mccarthy says there's probably no doubt they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign. if so, this is bigger than watergate. [ laughter ] what an interesting statement. what that is called again, kellyanne? >> uninformed conjecture. >> jimmy: okay, all right, very good. trump regurgitates anything he sees on fox news. at this point i'm surprised he hasn't retweeted an ad for mesothelioma. he's like one commercial away from nominating tom selleck f

i refer to it uninformed conjecture, speculation. it is dangerous, because people think speculative opinion, wishful thinking, conclusions in search of evidence somehow rise to the level of facts. you're always talking about facts. they should think twice about that. litigating to the media, talking about something significant as, sensitive as possible summit between north korea, south korea, the united states of america but that is conjecture. look, what ambassador bolton has said, what sarah sanders has said, we're monitoring the situation but we want to verify what is fact and what is fiction before we run out to state that. i will leave that to the president and national security team if there is announcement to be made. abby: you said earlier this week there would be changes in the white house regarding the leaks challenges you faced. what is the latest, update on the leaking coming from the white house? >> people looking last week were clearly doing that to hurt the people the targets of those leaks. there is 99.8% of the infor

was a lot of pressure from a vocal but misguided group of parents that thought keeping their kids uninformed will somehow protect their child's innocence. >> we look for compromise. tonight we did not get the best i was hoping for. at the same time they did decide to form a committee. >> reporter: the board did decide, as you heard, to create a task force for curriculum, not just seventh through ninth but fourth through six as well. reporting live in fremont, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> abre tough oneak there but i glad they came to some kind of a compromise. els hanks, bob.. 4:34, breaking news, a bombshell rocking the white house.air. president trump just tweeting within the lastyeste hour that approved paying $130,000 to stormy daniels but denies the affair. yesterday the president's attorney rudy giuliani to fox news. >> paying stormy daniels which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal. that money was not campaign money. sorry, i'm giving you a fact now that you don't know. it's not campaign money. no campaign finance violation. >> giuliani goes on to say he has documentation

with regard to the electric one thing that was focused on was having an honest uninformed electorate.e have career politicians because our electorate is not very informed on what they are doing. our system is basically protecting the incompetency. the people are truly in control of our country. we have made it as such that people are not aware of what is going on. >> i think you make an important point about the extent at which a two party engage in incumbent protection. whenever you seek campaign-finance reform is something designed to make something better for incompetence and tougher for challengers. if you think about stabilizing democracy, you have to think about the folks who feel unrepresented in the system as it exists. >> steve: i want to make sure we get a last word. any kind of quick responses on what the panel has said? >> the critical point i would stresses the way that was mentioned a moment ago is not about education. do not conflate knowledge and understanding, and engagement what we want for voters with education. it is not about having a degree you're going to harvar

this is classic uninformed college students, who learn it for the first time from some radical historyssor. then at gw university nearby where we are, the democrat -- some of the college democrats don't want to be bipartisan? >> they don't want a dialogue because they know when that happens the best ideas rise to the top and the left ideas will fall off. what you see here is their goal is to allow a situation only where leftist ideas are heard. when conservative policies and solutions -- >> they're pet fidel castrified debate. and by the way, some members of the current executive board have hesitations about participating in events with conservative orgs. petrified. thanks for the update. >>> one of the starkest examples is at marquette university, a private catholic school in milwaukee. john mcadams was suspended and has been since 2014 when he chastised a grant administrator. why? she apparently told a student she would not tolerate dissent on the topic of same-sex marriage. marquette opened her up to threats by referring to her by name. joining us now is professor mcadams himself, y

this is appalling that president trump would be so uninformed and that his chief of staff, his counselorsow him to spew into the thinking of americans that he has any right or authority to dictate to what the department of justice does. that would skew the independence of the department of justice to fairly go after individuals who have broken the law. it is a decision that is made by thoughtful staff lawyers in the department of justice in many different areas, from civil rights to antitrust to the criminal justice division. they are all separate divisions and they review information. otherwise the president could use the department of justice as an attack instrument on any political figure he didn't like, being put so many times into incorrect assessments. he's now thrown as president in conspiring or being involved in something so dastardly as what he's suggesting. this would be a terrible country if a sitting president could target anyone he wants in the administration. so if our targets will stand up to unfair targets and dischoose us. i hope the united states does not fall victim to

his association with slavery is so just uninformed.hink the problem with kanye today is he's taken for granted that his lack of information, it can pass for opinion in a public sphere. and particularly for his young black fans and followers i'm worried for them because i'm not sure that they can make the distinction between where he's going and the truth. >> that's why we're covering it so much. because in my estimation this is dangerous. and again, as i've said all along and you've said, kanye can say whatever he wants and believe whatever he wants. but he should understand the power of his platform. he has to be responsible as van said today. he thinks, mark, this is a new conversation because he just discovered it. >> he just discovered new information. and i want him to discover new information. i also want him to discover books and i want to him to read those books before he offers public opinion. but in the kanye universe at least right now facts be damned, and that's super dangerous. in many ways he is like mr. trump. i see why

i was told that she thought the tone he used was inappropriate, and two, that she's just uninformed onhe numbers. for the president to keep saying people are flooding across the border, you can look at these statistics about any way you want. these are border reports going back to september. you do see a difference in last april to this april. a lot of speculation is that on the southern side of the border, people thought, donald trump, campaign, let's be careful here. but historically the border wall has a low number. why is he screaming at his border security secretary? >> for what it's worth, i think -- the president's confidence is worth the paper it's printed on this afternoon. in this moment he's confident in pruitt. white house staff is -- it has wrapped themselves around the axle on pruitt and he's very frustrated he hacsn't been able to put this story to rest. the president is very confident in him at the moment. i don't know how confident he is with secretary nielsen. >> she has been out front for him pushing his agenda. >> absolutely. that's why kelly is chief of staff, basi

the medical professionals who have been giving opinions to the media based on one statement are uninformed which is all that matters. her recovery and privacy are paramount and i will have no further comment beyond this. so, the first lady's team being very specific in their statement here that they're not going to talk about this anymore, despite the speculation surrounding it. but at this point, it seems as though the trump family, in particular, are just happy to have the first lady home. in fact, the president himself who made several trips over to walter reed to visit with her while she was being treated tweeted about her earlier today. he said, great to have our incredible first lady back home in the white house. melania's feeling and doing really well. thank you for all your prayers and best wishes. you'll note that tweet we're showing you here, ana, has the correct spelling of melania's name. i say that because a tweet that went out before that and was out for about five or ten minutes actually misspelled melania's name. the president eventually pulling it back and putting it up co

upon hearing that, paul begala was among those who pounced, accusing nielsen of being either uninformeding to curry favor with the president or willfully blind to the ongoing foreign threat that she was sworn to defend the usa from. her remarks were striking. it wasn't surprising when a spokesperson quickly tried to clean it up. quote, the secretary has previously reviewed the intelligence community's assessment and agrees with it, as she stated today and previously. just for review, that january 2017 assessment, on the web for all to read, it says, quote, putin and the russian government developed a clear preference for president-elect trump. we have high confidence in these judgments. but after nielsen's comments today, the damage was done and lifelong republican david frum went on cnn with a frontal attack on the women who was charged, after all, with keeping all of us safe. >> for her to say this, is a confession of disengagement from one of her prime responsibilities. and we know why she's doing it. secretary nielsen is one of the more professional members of president trump's cabi

americans are amazingly uninformed about the most bake fantastics.as obtained 19 criminal indictments, five guilty pleas as we mentioned before. he's uncovered a remarkable trail of criminality and his investigation is ongoing. despite that fact, a new poll found just 41% of registered voters know that mueller has uncovered crimes. 59% wrongly believe that mueller has found nothing. joining me now to break down what the democrats are doing, jason johnson, political editor at the root and the man behind the tweet stormy just mentioned max bergman. give me your argument, max. >> so my basic argument is i think democrats have been in a tough spot. democrats want to get to the bottom of this. they want to have a thorough investigation and they want the investigation to play out before they come to judgment. that is a responsible way of proceeding. the problem is, the white house, president trump and his accomplices in congress are going on offense attacking the investigation. they're saying it's a witch hunt. attacking the credibility. and what we're see

around him allow him to go out and make these statements that make him seem that he is unaware or uninformedhe's the president of the united states. he doesn't read his briefing pape papers. how can they stop him? >> i'm maybe a tad more sympathetic to trump on this one. i think in his very convoluted way, what he's trying to get at here is, you know, it's commonly pointed out that if someone like -- if the north koreans are looking around the world at other examples of countries giving up their nuclear weapons, it's not a pretty story, right? iraq gave up its nuclear and all its weapons of mass destruction and what happened to saddam hussein? right? libya, gadhafi got a little bit scared about what happened in iraq. he decided to enter into a deal with the west, gave up his weapons. not much longer, he was overthrown. so i think what trump in his n convoluted way is trying to say he understands that history and wants as part of this deal to give the north korean leadership basically a guarantee that that dictatorship will stay in power. correct me if i'm wrong, max, i think that's what he's

problem today is if you don't want the news on television cable and/or read the newspapers you are uninformed do watch the news you are misinformed hashtag the truth will come out. haters never win, hashtag maga. and last year nbc news reported that robert mueller's team was also interested in michael flynn jr. for his work with his dad's lobbying firm. yesterday the younger flynn tweeted quote, you're all going down, you know who you are, mark my word. his dad has already pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi and has agred to cooperate in the special counsel investigation. >> serious words there. >> how many hashtags were in cohen's tweet there? >> at least three. >> serious words there. >> joining us now, dave lawler. talk to us about these cryptic messages that luouis was going over. what do you make of them? >> i think michael cohen genuinely thinks he's being kind of unfairly maligned in the press here. you know, obviously he's been under a tremendous amount of scrutiny that he's not used to in the past. he's being portrayed by ben stiller on saturday night live. somebody who's operated in

that he's conducting himself in public underscores just how inept, clueless, out of the loop and uninformed he is about how the fbi functions, about how the intelligence agencies function, and i think that his own advisers have not done him a good service if they haven't briefed him and he's what, a year and a half into his presidency. >> maria, you know what. >> it makes him seem unfit for the office of the president. >> i for you to call him clueless and inept, it reminds me a lot of 2016, the very thing you said then, that you've been saying for two years, when you dismissed our entire movement, when you said we had no chance of winning, and more importantly. >> i never said. >> when you dismissed the voters. >> i never said that he never had a chance of winning. >> you have been dismissing, every time i've been with you on air you've been dismission the trump vote and the trump movement. >> when did i mention the trump voter just now, steve. >> i think you should listen. this is part of the problem with the president. i called the president inept. i never mentioned any trump voter. >> b
