This was somebody there are people who were skeptical about donald trump from the very beginning. This was Somebody Playing Ball with donald trump and was a supporter and maybe even going to be his Vice President ial candidate. So the fact that hes saying these kinds of things shows that he gave him a fair hearing, was willing to give him a try, and its become pretty clear that this is a highly problematic president. Part of the thing that is worrying to me is were starting to see everything through the prism of heres another twitter scandal, heres another bit of the crazy. How crazy. Youre talking about somebody who has more access to information about threats to america than almost any human being on earth, Senator Corker, saying hes afraid of world war iii, to the paper of record for the country. That should be a full stop, all traffic comes to a halt moment. Because this is a cry for help for the country. And yet but it doesnt come until after donald trump personally insults him on twitter. If he really is concerned about the country i thought donald trump was, you know, not a was a bad hombre a couple years ago. Do i have better insight than bob corker . Corker helped give this guy the presidency and doesnt speak out to the paper of record until hes insulted on twitter. Heres what i think. People are saying that because he supported trump in the past that he somehow cant speak out now. People can have relationships that go bad. Theres something called divorce. You can be that close to somebody and later on say, this was a bad person. Im saying its motive. I dont know that hes sort of shrouded i dont know corker, but hes my home state senator. And even as a republican ive never had a cause to feel anything other than proud of him and the decorum and the way hes conducted himself as a senator. So this is not a fire brand. This is not an irresponsible guy. When someone like him is talking about an adult day care center, you have to then read into that the level of threat and frustration he feels. This is one of our best senators, and hes saying something very serious. How do you see it . Corker is not the only senator that trump has a problem with. At any given time hes feuding with six or seven. And on top of that his strategist, steve bannon, is now recruiting primaries for six other republican incumbents. So thats 12 or 13 out of 52. Now, even you are moderately proficient at math, you can see how this is a problem for getting the republican agenda passed. Theres significant concern on capitol hill theyre not going to bad the Budget Resolution next week, which is the key to unlocking the door of reconciliation, which is the key to tax reform. We have significant policy agenda problems, and these feuds dont help. And i sit here as someone who wants the president to succeed and wants the republicans to succeed and these feuds are not getting us there. Who bears the lions share of the blame in your opinion . Is it the president for going after corker or is it corker for doing this or some combination thereof . I think theres Combination Blame in all of these kinds of feuds. Look, these people are supposed to be one big, happy family. Now, grant it, some of these people are like cousins whove never met but have to sit next to each other at thanksgiving dinner. But at some juncture, we all have to sit here and eat together and be civil until its over for the purpose of satisfying the voters who sent the republicans to run washington d. C. So thats the issue. Its trumps fault. Because donald trump this is obviously a pattern. I dont know of bob corker having a vendetta or feud with anybody else, maybe its happened. But what we do know is that donald trump, it he goes from person to person. Hes always fighting one person. Usually not all at the same time. He goes from enemy to enemy. So i think hes to blame. I think thats part of the problem. Its the sort of cascade of enemies. This cascade of scandals. So you dont actually realize when something significant happens. This is not in the overall abnormality, the absurdity we have now adapted ourselves to, this is actually scary. This is not ivana and Melania Trump having an argument today. No. Its an important point when everything gets reduced down to the same prism of, you know, hes fighting with someone. You heard an objection about this, understandably, when he was attacking the mayor of san juan, and the headlines were all, theyre in a dispute. They were not in a dispute. He was attacking this woman who was in the middle of his supporters say she was looking for a partisan fight, what have you. You look at the situation she was in, and shes wading through sewage to help people and you wonder if its a wise idea for the president to attack her. And it is an attack. What is going on with corker is so fundamentally not normal. But to vans point we are on this slow cascade downward. And its hard to realize sometimes when something i dont have the exact language in front of me, but
is this going to end up . Now were going to have senators name calling. I just think at some point you have to step back and be a grown up. It didnt work when marco rubio tried it in the campaign. Everybody else ends up a little bit degraded. Nobody survives the back and forth. Its probably not unusual for president s and members of congress to not get along all the time. But, boy, it is unusual for it to be playing out in public. And, of course, when it plays out in public and people start calling each other names, you never want to feel like, i let that guy get the best of me. So you want to come back and respond and he wants to respond. You know, where does it end . In other words, were flunking kindergarten here. Exactly. We have to take a quick break. Were going to pick this up after the break. Including a top president ial advisor criticizing the senator for tweeting.

Over 5 million expert and user reviews. Year after this election and still cant accept the election results, it adds to their ability and their cover to speak about the president of the United States in ways that no president should be talked about. And that happened. So back now with the panel. I mean, for i mean, the irony, of course, is for Kellyanne Conway to be saying bob corkers tweet is irresponsible and yet to completely back the president on all of his tweets. I suppose its completely bonkers. I cannot think of another word when you listen to that. I actually agree with her, as i said on the last panel, that i dont think what bob corker did was senatorial or mature and an appropriate way to respond. But neither is pretty much everything that donald trump tweets. You cant have a two standards. One is that the president can act like a maniac on twitter, and then a senator does something one time thats fairly mild she publically embraces the president s tweets. Every single time. Every single time. Theres never been a tweet that she didnt figure out some way to justify, defend, be outraged that anybody didnt understand. Its her whole schtick is getting out there and defending this stuff. So for her to wander out into the vast tundra of American Society and begin lecturing anybody about anything on twitter is ludicrous. And the idea that its because World Leaders see it. Exactly. Thats our point. Youre mad because he might be saying something about trump on twitter that may be discrediting. Trump is saying stuff himself on twitter that is discrediting of himself. You might point that out. This is always the conflict that theres a genuine frustration among the part of trumps aides, and i understand it, where they feel like he does not get the respect that has been afforded to other president s. The problem is that it never factors in whether he himself is showing respect to the office in
some of his behavior, and thats always the problem. She has a job to do. Her job is to defend the president. She works there. Absolutely. Her job isnt to go out and be a people keep looking for people who work in the white house to come out and trash the president. Thats not going to happen. It wouldnt happen in any white house. Correct. That is correct. Im worried about the long term political implications of the white house continuously being critical of republican members of congress. Especially the ones it did you know apply to corker, because hes not running. But especially the ones who are on the ballot, if grass roots republicans hear the white house saying these people are bad, theyre not loyal, theyre not worth voting for, and they dont turn out those voters dont turn out in the midterms what are the political implications of this . I think the party has to worry about this in november of next year. I think youre absolutely right. Republicans could lose the majority, they havent repealed obamacare, theyre probably not now going to do tax reform and
the last couple days havent helped. Those are actually fairly shortterm implications. I think the longterm implications are is this the new normal . Will the next president be a celebrity who attacks people on twitter . Donald trump didnt completely come out of nowhere. Weve had a degradation over time. And even things like norms violation of norms, like ross pero announcing on a tv show he is going to run for president. Not today not shocking, but will this begin something very dark in the future . Im not willing to cut kellyanne the slack youre cutting her. I dont think because you work in the white house it gives you a right to come out and say up is down, down is up. Thats what shes doing. Its this complete Alice In Wonderland insanity. Where shes just saying things that arent true. Why is this okay . This idea that somehow bob corker is the one thats problematic i dont think thats what scott was saying or i was saying. What im saying is i think there is i dont think what shes saying is any different than what the president is saying. So if you are going to take issue with the president , which many people do people can leave or not leave the white house. But i dont understand the surprise that what im saying is, if she wants to come out and defend the president , thats her job. I agree with that. She should do that. But she should do it on nonludicrous grounds. She could say, i dont think Senator Corker is doing well by his people in tennessee because he should have his eyes on tax reform, et ceterea. Shes criticizing him over twitter . Thats nuts i dont think that would just think about that for a second, though. I dont think that would sound any less ludicrous, to use your word, he should keep his eye on tax reform. People are going to say the same thing about the president. I guess, what is the line of defense that you think is worth it . Its the lecturing about twitter when she defends everything shes a very good propaganda exactly. I think its very effective. But i wouldnt have her on if i
were interested in actually getting to the truth or insight or gaining insight into whats happening. But shes good at like blindly defending the president. And as you said, thats kind of her job. Thats The Point Of Why Corker has a different patina in the first place is he is somebody who has defended the president and now he is not. Working at the white house or whether youre Bagging Groceries at the corner market. If you go out on National Television and trash your boss, you wont be working there the next day. So i think shes doing what shes supposed to do. Nobody is saying she should be trashing him. Just dont say these things that are completely bonkers. We have a lot more ahead tonight. Including Vice President pences protest to the nfl game this weekend. And now the president is trying to use it to his advantage.

Vice president mike pence and his wife had their own protest at the nfl game this weekend. They were back in indianapolis attending the kols and 49ers game on sunday, they decided to walk out and leave the stadium after some 49ers player knelt
during the anthem. Explaining, i left the colts game because at potus and i will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag or the National Anthem. Then President Trump said i asked Vice President pence to leave stadium if any players kneeled. And then he returned to twitter saying the trip by Vice President pence was long planned. He is receiving great praise for leaving after the players showed such disrespect. To complete the circle on this, the president is fundraising for his Reelection Campaign on pences walkout. Were back with the panel. Was this a preplanned stunt . Yes. It was a stunt to protest the protest because this is completely off the rails. Nobody remembers this is not this was supposed to be about Police Community relations. That was the initial concern. That there was some Police Misconduct issues. They want to raise that. Its now become about free
speech for athletes, disrespect for our sold soldiers. Not one player has said one bad thing about soldiers. Its just crazy on top of crazy. Apparently its good politics because theyre raising money off of it. The saddest part for me is pence had an opportunity, if he wanted to deal with this, to say we are actually going to do something about the underlying cause of the protest. Nobody is talking about the underlying cause of the protest, even though it continues in the neighborhood these guys come from. These are guys are rich they shouldnt complain, trump is rich he complains all the time. These guys come from neighborhoods where they are still getting Text Messages from their cousins about getting pulled over. These fwies are two years, three years out of those neighborhoods. They are desperate to get something done. Were not talking about it at all. I wrote an article for the daily beast, which is i actually
do not support kneeling during the National Anthem, but i think there is a problem with police brutality. I dont think it should stop us from pursuing. Real remedies for real problems . Right. Im actually with mike pence substantively on this, but i think it was a stunt you think he went to the game with the idea he was going to walk out . Its the 49ers. If theres any team that is going to kneel i dont see it as an act of disrespect. When they were sitting there, and not standing up, that was disrespectful. The idea you take a knee, thats what you do when somebody is hurt on the field. Theyre saying theres somebody hurt in our country. I dont think thats disrespect. But the idea youre going to go to a 49ers game and nobody is going to kneel, give me a break. Mike pence could have stood with his hand over his heart and tweeted im standing up honoring our flag, our soldiers, our
first responders and i think its inappropriate that others didnt. He could have done that. He could have still made a political statement. It seems like this was meant to whether its fundraising or just to, frankly, divide the country, which i think is a dangerous thing to do. We have the latest cnn poll, which shows more people disagree with what the players are doing. 49 say its the wrong thing. That makes this the popular black protest in history. Lets not forget, when they were doing the sit ins, those polls were saying 79 saying stop it. You made your point. Quit. So the fact you have almost half the country saying its okay, these are the most popular protests in the history of country. Somebody was talking to me in a poll where they had seen an uptick in the numbers of voters who believed there was mistreatment of africanamericans. I think one of the problems this president has had is recognizing there is an equal and opposite reaction in life and politics. When you are in the oval office, its not like youre running a Reelection Campaign. I dont know if they were if it was a stunt, but they were out of there early and put a statement. They were told he might leave early. But it was beyond thinking what happened. It wasnt he left, they followed it with a statement. It was followed with a picture. So this was a choreographed response. And it was pretty quickly. You know what the most popular thing donald trump has done since hes been president is work with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, but hes not drawn to that. Hes actually drawn to this culture war stuff. Hes obsessed, according to everyone i talk to and obsessed
is the word they use, with losing his political base. He talks about about it all the time. You had him reporting coming back, in alabama, coming back he felt that was the big success. It went well, it played well with the crowd. Then he spent the whole weekend in bed minister, and he would say what do you think of it . And most people told him they didnt think it was wonderful. And he would say my base loves it. The polls support it, it seems. And thats what his advisers cite when ever you ask him about this. This isnt about disrespecting the flag. I have vans Point Of View it isnt disrespectful. About how theyre doing it the way theyre doing it. But the reason its also not about that is because that would mean that the only problem here is that theyre doing it during the National Anthem, and i just dont believe that. Youre asking me to believe that if instead they waited until the National Anthem was over and at
some other point decided to put their fists up and do something that donald trump wouldnt be attacking them and people wouldnt be complaining, and i dont believe that. So i think the problem is theyre protesting. It wouldnt be as clean as a political issue without the flag and National Anthem werent in play. Im going to give you a raw political analysis. This is a complete and total winner for the white house. In the national surveys, it looks good. But if you look at the surveys in the places he has to hold on, ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, among his people in those states its not even close. Thats why theyre coming back to it and i suspect theyre going to keep coming back to it. The owner of the cowboys, jerry jones is now saying any of his players who dont stand for the National Anthem, should be benched. The players could toss a penalty flag on that.

We mentioned mike pence walked out yesterday after 49ers took a knee and then later in the day, cowboys owner jerry jones said, there is no equivocation. Were standing for the flag. If there is anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play. Tonight jerry jones is still talking about this. He did an Interview Tonight and
guess where it seems jerry jones got the idea. Heres what the reporter tweeted, quote, jones emphasized the nfl Game Ops Manual and then this. You know who reminded me about the policy . Donald trump. Mr. Joness admission comes a couple weeks after he joined the cowboys in kneeling before the National Anthem at a Monday Night Football game. Back with the panel and joining us is legal analyst jeffrey toobin. Can the owners do this . The First Amendment only applies to the government. The government cannot punish you can be cannot throw you in jail for expressing your opinions of any kind. But the First Amendment does not apply to private employers. Private employers can fire you for exercising your First Amendment views. Just today an espn analyst was suspended for two weeks for
expressing her views about the current political situation. Jamal hill. Yes. You and i could be fired if we start endorsing candidates. That is a Power Employers have in the United States. The only issue in the nfl situation is theres a collective Bargaining Agreement between the union and the nfl and there may be some provisions in there that the players could argue it could be an unfair act by the employer. But i think by and large, jerry jones, if he wants to, could fire or suspend players who wouldnt stand up. Theres a chapter in your new book, its an open letter to conservatives. You say, quote, more than anything you place great value on protecting the liberties enshrined in the constitution, particularly the right to free speech, movement association, and religion. Those principles how do they square with opposition to taking a knee . I think the conservative
movement have some real trouble. I wrote this book beyond the messy truth how we came apart, how we come together trying to figure out how we get better republicans and democrats. I think we need two strong parties. But the Conservative Movement now seems to an an antiliberal movement its more interestinged in looking at ways to poke at liberals rather than to lift up values the country could be united around. The Republican Party has been leading the charge on criminal justice reform. Rick perry, the governor of texas, closed prisons, brought crime down. Governor deal in georgia, closed prisons, brought crime down. Kasich in ohio, big criminal justice reformer. This is their issue. They have thrown it in the garbage can because they want to do this culture war nonsense. It is outside any policy to lift the country up. You could say to these young people, talking about these football players, theyre coming from neighborhoods that are still struggling. Theyre doing we believe maybe the past couple of years, their families are not. You could say, listen, i want to talk about not the people who are neiling, but the people that are falling down in this country. Theyre falling down because they dont have jobs, because theyre afraid of whats going on in their neighborhood. You have to say, im going to look beyond your symbols and deal with the substance because i have conservative values that can help you. Theyre missing the opportunity because theyd rather do this nonsense. Thats the strategy i see. What he said. I agree with everything you just said. But i you know, jerry jones, im a red skins fan so its hard for me to say anything good about this man, but as you mentioned, he is the owner. In the nfl right now you cant celebrate in the end zone, right . If i want you know, if tom brady wanted to wear an nra sticker on his helmet, he couldnt do that. That would be banned. The New York Yankees you cant have facial hair. You cant have long side burns or even a goatee. Thats their policy. I actually like this. I think we need to get back to more sort of old guys, old women, old people whoever, basically saying no, thats not who we are. There used to be an editor at a newspaper who would be like, were not go ing to cover that story. Were not going to cover twitter, its junk. Now we dont have that anymore. Ill say the first good thing i said about jerry ever, its good leadership. And in the arizona game the other week, he did go out with his team and kneel in solidarity, not during the National Anthem. My question is, most people took the kneeling when he did it the first time as if it was in solidarity with what the players were doing about the National Anthem, even though it wasnt then. What i find notable about this is that the president has been looking for an nfl owner to agree with him,
hes been pushing for a while this is what the team owners should be doing. Now he has one who seems to be going in that direction. Its surprising to me to hear people supporting a president telling private enterprise how they should run their private enterprise. And that is how this is going. The idea of going back to the olden days when things werent covered. I hear that and think theres a lot you know, the evening news used to be 15, 18 minutes and everyone was white and very few women. Right. And it was a very limited view of what was happening in the world. So i think the idea i think for a lot of people in america, the idea of going back to the good old days, they werent that good. I think there were some bad aspects to the way things used to be done, and, weve made progress on that. But weve also gone in the wrong direction in some ways. Youre saying they should be able to decide this is not who we are. So the owner could say that. I dont know, maybe you were one of the conservatives who had a different position on this, but there was a big case with a man named brendan ike at mozilla who was fired because he gave money to an antisame sex Marriage Initiative and he lost his job and mo sil la said thats not who we are. And conservatives went berserk. Conservatives said that wasnt right. He should be able to express that we have to take a break. I want to thank you everybody. Coming up the Real Housewives of the west wing. The president s exwife and current wife spar over who is the first lady. Joining me next the only person for this job, experts on all things reality tv, bravos andy cohen. What kind of sorcery is that . Its not the magicwand kind.

Because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and its not tested for in routine blood work. The cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. If you have hep c, it can be cured. For us its time to get tested. Ask your Healthcare Provider for the simple blood test. Its the only way to know for sure. Cabinet secretaries. Its between his wives. The president s first wife made waves in an interview this morning as part of the promotional tour for her book. Take a look. I have the direct number for the white house, and i dont want to call him there because melania there, and i dont want to cause any jealousy because im basically first trump wife, im first lady. Melania trumps spokesperson quickly released a statement that read in part, theres clearly no substance to this statement from an ex. This is, unfortunately, only attention seeking. It all sounds like a plot line from a reality show. Earlier i spoke to my friend, expert on all things reality show, andy cohen. Hes Executive Producer of the Real Housewives franchise. So you have tweeted out that only you, as the Executive Producer of the Real Housewives franchise, can mediate this dispute. Absolutely. I watched you host all those Housewife Reunions Last year. Those were president ial debates. I moderated president ial debates. You can call them what they want. How wives reyufe reunions. Youre claiming the second debate you stole my bit. What was the bit . When things are going so scorched earth, i say, can you Say Something nice about each other. Sometimes its the only trick you have left. To end on some kind of positivity. We did end the debate like that. I think that came from an audience question. I was watching this play out today, and i thought you know what, i would like to be im here on cnn, open invitation, to the first lady, to the honorary first lady, ivana trump. Id like to get marla maples in there. I think she maybe has some unresolved issues. And i think it would be great to have ivanka trump there as well. Ill set up two couches. Get this thing going. Just put me in the game. I can do this. I can make this okay. Would ivanka have a walk on . Would marla maples have a walk on . No marla would be there from the top but ivanka wed bring out later. Because i think she has things with everybody. You for the longest time have believed this is an ongoing Real Housewives show. We are now however many months into the Real Housewives of the white house. Im calling for a reunion show early. The term isnt up but i think we need to get one going. The president has been tweeting lib erly like a real house wife. I want to read you some of the tweets. Because you believe they correspond. He tweeted, going to the white house is considered a great honor for a championship team. Stephen curry is hesitating therefore invitation is
withdrawn. This is a classic housewife move. Rescind invitations liberally. You saw it with bethenny and louann. Bethany and ramona in mexico. Dorinda and sonya at the berkshires. This is a move they do, a rescinded invitation. Yes. Now, if he had said that he wasnt coming, so it didnt really work in this case, but thats the fine print. All right. The president also tweeted spoke to president of mexico to give condolences on terrible earthquake. Unable to reach for three days because of his cell phone reception site. Blaming cell reception, a classic. Housewives do that . Oh, yeah. Works every time. Yeah. The president also tweeted drain the swatch should be changed to drain the sewer. Its much worse than anyone ever thought and begins with the fake news. Something that works throughout all the franchises is you keep repeating the same lines over and over until someone listens. We saw it with Stripper Gate in new jersey. We saw it with book gate in new york. Just stay on message, and if you keep repeating it, then it will sink in. All right. Final tweet from the president , what about all the contact with the Clinton Campaign and the russians . Also, is it true that the dnc would not let the fbi in to look . Okay. Well, this is well, theres a few things there. He does remind me sometimes of first seasonwife who will say anything to stay on the show, but bringing up former housewives who are no longer on the show is often very effective. They dont have a voice, so when he brings up hillary clinton, shes not on the show anymore, but its still an effective tool to get people to think of, you know, other things, former housewives. Listen, i will say the housewives are entertainment, and thats what theyre meant for. This all is distracting nonsense from whats really going on in the country. I should point that out. But im here for it. And you want in the game. I want in the game. Let a pro in. Let a pro in. Anything else, andy . No. Its fun. I mean, id like to coanchor the show with you sometime. I feel very comfortable here. You think our worlds completely enmesh . Listen, there is a reality star in the white house. He teases things coming up. Hell say, oh, i have a decision coming up. Stay tuned. I mean, his Modus Operandi is a reality tv star. So, yes, our worlds are meshing. I would like to host an actual president ial debate. You think youre ready for that . Yes. No doubt. Andy cohen, thank you. Thanks. Well, coming up, if you saw this video from puerto rico, your first thought was i wonder how soft those paper towels are. Well, youre in luck because the president has an answer for you and the ridiculist is next. Are you done yet . Does it look like im done . Shouldnt you be at work .
