willis, has more details. this news, reported in the washington post and by nbc, that jared kushner may have significant informationir investigation into alleged russian meddling in the us presidential election last year, that brings the fbi inquiry not only to the doorstep of the white house, it also brings it within the trump family circle, if you like. this stemming from meetings which are said to have taken place last december involving jared kushner, the russian ambassador to the united states, mr kislyak, and the head of a russian bank. and the significance of that is the banker in charge had seen his institution become part of the sanctions that barack 0bama introduced last year in response to the russian annexation of crimea. now, jared kushner is someone who enjoys a great deal of influence within the oval office. it was he who put together a large part of donald trump's trip to saudi arabia, for example. and he very firmly has the ear of president trump, at a time when other advisers are by all accounts being sidelined. so what this does is it does not suggest any hint of criminality necessarily, on the p

willy-nilly people who should not be audited. we need statistical gathering. my thinking is that they are doing a service for the public. random audits, there may be nothing wrong with the returns at the end of the day but they're using it for data gathering. if they're doing the public service they should be paid. either that, or, maybe we do not assess the tax at the end of the audit. we found the errors but they sat through this for the public good. maybe we don't assess the tech so we found, or we give them compensation for sitting through it. i suggest that be nontaxable. >> yesterday a report was released on the national research program employment taxes. included the irs doesn't even have a formal plan to timely analyze let alone actually use the ted it collected. so, do you believe the irs should continues to subject taxpayers or guinea pigs to these random offense if there's no plants use the information? shouldn't the irs use the data. it will pay folks for the data with your suggestion, shouldn't they use it? or just shut down the program if there's a plan to use it? >> i don't think they should shut down the program. they need to us

willy-nilly audit people that shouldn't be audited. in my thinking about this they are actually doing a service for the public. they are random audits and there may be nothing wrong at the end of the day but they're using it for data gathering. if they're doing that, they should be paid. either that or either and, maybe we don't assess the tax at the end of the audit. we found the errors but they factor this for the public good so maybe we don't assess the tax that we found or we give them compensation for sitting through it. i suggest that compensation be nontaxable. >> yesterday ga released a report on the national research program and employment taxes and they concluded the irs doesn't even have a formal plan to use the data it collects. do you believe the irs should continue to subject taxpayers, guinea pigs in your words, to these burdensome random acces audits if they don't plan to use the data. they use it or shouldn't they shut down the program? >> i don't think they should shut down the program. they need to use the data. i will look carefully at the gao audit. i think that is a plan for how the irs could use it. it takes a long time to

entire conversation may become mute because the senate's expected to rewrite this bill and get rid of many of the provisions that were put in to satisfy. cheryl: i know. gerri willis, thank you so much, gerri. appreciate it. all right. coming up, everybody. a texas sheriff facebook post is now being accused of racism after telling politically-correct americans to wake up after manchester's attack. that sheriff here to react to that. and a democratic senator now saying that president trump is calling isis losers, and that could lead to an attack like manchester here in the u.s. columnist katie hopkins is here to respond after this >> worried about some of the rhetoric of the trump administration because we worry that that combined with robust online recruitment might end up in an attack like this happening in the united states. cheryl: democratic senator chris murphy slamming the trump administration, you just heard from him, saying the president would be to blame if a terror attack like manchester happened here. with me now, daily mail global columnist katie. president trump has been very vocal about taking down isis and other terror groups. what is so wrong with

willy-nilly audit people that shouldn't be audited. we need a statistical gathering thing. my thinking about taxpayers being guinea pigs is they are doing a service for the public. as a random audit there may be nothing wrong with their returns but the irs is using it for data gathering. if they are doing that they should be paid. either that, maybe we don't assess the tax at the end of the audit. we found the error, but they did it for the public good so maybe we don't assess the tax we found or give them compensation for sitting through it and i suggest that be nontaxable so we don't -- >> let me ask you this. yesterday there was a report on the national research program on employment taxes and the irs doesn't have a single plan to timely analyze and use the data collected. do you believe the irs should continue to subject taxpayers come in your words guinea pigs, to this burdens and random audit if there is no plan to use the information? should the irs use the data? to pay folks for the data as you suggest, shouldn't they use it or should they shut down the program? if they don't plan to use it. that is doubly disturbing. >> i don't think they should shut down the program. they need to

willie, it's only going to get worse as well because donald trump's numbers are dropping. usually the party's numbers drop with the president's. here is the greatest irony. the republican party's majority mays because they blindly follow a lifetime democrat from manhattan who staged a hostile takeover of their party last year. this is a guy, donald trump, the guy right there, republicans, he gave money to chuck schumer in 2010. that's how long he has been a democrat, and now they blindly follow him, and he's taking them into the political abyss. >> as you say, that quinnipiac university poll shows president trump's job approval sliding as well. 36% now approve of the president. 58% disapprove. that's a net negative rating of 22 points. among independents, only 29% approve. that's down nine points just from last month. 47% of whites without a college degree approve. that's a ten-point drop for the president. 48% of white men approve the job trump is doing, down five points. asked about president trump's first 100 days, 58% say it was mainly a failure, 38% called it a success. the president's honesty rating is at a near all-time low, only 33% say president trump is honest. 61% say he's not.

willie. >> and what was the one relationship he had, the one interaction he had with our greatest ally, theresa may, her scolding him because of leaking intelligence to newspapers. >> the administration claims that behind the scenes merkel and trump now have a very good relationship, same with theresa may. they say just wait six months, you'll see. but if that's the case, that's a secret that angela merkel and theresa may -- >> so far the only secret we've been able to hold. >> exactly. >> by the way, we should go without saying. we have a good relationship with germany and britain. i hope so. now to the news that a member of the president's family who doubles as one of his closest advisers is being looked at by the fbi in its russia probe. multiple u.s. officials tell nbc news investigators believe jared kushner has significant information relevant to their inquiry. that does not mean they suspect him of a crime or they intend to charge him with anything. "the washington post" first reported last night a senior white house official close to trump was a person of interest but did not name the perso

willie, i can't believe how quickly that escalated. he was just -- he asked about a cbo score and he said we may not have time later and attacked him, accordingeporters, after he threw him to the ground, started punching him while he was on ground. >> the campaign has one account, which we'll hear in a few minute s, who says this reporter was too aggressive, jamming a microphone in his face, all the greatest hits came out. fox news crew had a completely different account. we'll hear it. where that republican candidate in montana, special election there allegedly attacked a reporter asking about the health care overhaul. >>> and the president's spending plan hits a snag with his party's budget hawks. >> you have said that the foundation of your budget is 3% growth. and i have looked every which way at how you might get there and you can't get there. and, as a consequence, i think it is disastrously consequential to build a budget on 3% budget. the bible says you can't build a house on a sandy foundation. what it does, it perpetuates a myth that we can go out there and balance the budget without touching entitlements. it's not only a myth, it's

they may have ignored those warnings from the attorney general's office and it speaks to how ethically compromised this entire white house operation remains even today. >> senator murphy, it's willientral question in the hearing yesterday was were there ties between the trump campaign, direct ties and russia. former dni jim clapper said i can't make that claim, i can't find a straight line of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. no one has said that on an official level yet. do you believe there's been collusion between the trump campaign and russia from what you know? >> i don't know. we certainly don't have a smoking gun today. it seems that the story is unfolding only in one direction. every few weeks we get new evidence that suggests that there was more, not less coordination than we previously thought between the trump campaign and the russian government. the new element today is you have a few individuals, michael flynn amongst them, who might be in serious legal trouble. that tends to be when the story comes out, when you have an individual on the inside of something like this, in order to get out of personal legal liability starts to fill in details that weren'
