Million audiences, take over everything. just in the last 24 hours politico reported their audience has shrunk for the seventh consecutive month. even though theres a lot of noise and power in the base, its not anywhere that you can grow the republican party. if you want to look ahead and see where this path will take them, where the trump agenda will take them, look what happened to the california republican party and,000 theyve declined. dont dont -- look how john cox is going to do this novem...

>> this was trumps response from the media. pushed back on his apparent autocrat envy. >> what did you mean just now when you said you wished americans would sit up at attention. >> im kidding. you dont understand car character. who are you with? cnn? >> joining me now malcolm. national iranian american counsel. im a ge to go come to you on this first this is what your study is about. he seems to admire the fact that kim jong-un has absolute power. and he even made some comments about kim being ...

>> well, a couple of things. first of all, we can take some of the allies the united states. you now have a crown prince, absolute dictator in saudi arabia that is very close to trump. he seems to admire just as much as he admires other dictators. theyre saying whats wrong with an absolute monarchy. in the past they tended to say were moving slowly in our own pace. but now, with the way trump is behaving, its much easier to say theres nothing wrong with dictatorship and monarchy in saudi arabia....

Deal. unfortunately, i think a lot of people in iran are thinking they should have gotten a nuclear weapon before they went to the negotiation table rather than just having enrichment. >> it is interesting that donald trump admires certain autocratic regimes and not others. . iran deal -- president obama negotiated so theres nothing good about the deal in his view. but i wonder if now we have seen north korean state television replay over and over donald trump soluting that north korean general....

Gone to the white house. and the reason he would have gone is because he want ad dialogue with the president. he is willing to dialogue with the president. and the thing that he said that was so beautiful and i want to read it because the president also stereotypes folks like these players and dehumanizes them and what michael bennett says, we have to shed our fears on race, religion, sexuality and immigration. and thats what he wants to talk to the president about. this is a president who stoke...

President has put himself clearly above the law. considering his pretense to absolute power, its no surprise this weeks issue of "time" magazine shows donald trump preening himself in front of a mirror that shows him as a king. in a recent op-ed, john brennan described how this presidents behavior is similar to that of an authoritarian ruler who will do anything to retain power. he writes, "mrs. trump calculates his every move how it will personally help or hurt him to undercut real, potential a...

President trump did not write that. last time i checked them of the framers wrote that, and ratified by all the states. the defect here is that every special counsels appointment is unconstitutional, every special counselors appointment is not unconstitutional. this special counsels appointment is unconstitutional because the deputy attorney general, mr. rosenstein, hasnt educated himself about the appointment clause but does not have the power or the president and the senate. the president nomi...

Particularly on "the today show," sean, the first time in 20 years, bill clinton was actually asked a tough question and actually broached on monica lewinsky. as you said, bill clinton, master politi communicator, didnt know how to handle it. he ends up makes himself the victim, said he wouldnt apologize to monica lewinsky. with the #metoo back up, we will start to hear questions about broderick, kathleen willey. >> sean: harris, go ahead. >> "washington post" put out a fact check list -- there ...

The presidents constitutional authority. even the doj admits they cannot charge a sitting president with obstruction. why are we talking about it? also, the presidents power to pardon, even himself, absolute power. over the weekend, that is clinton sycophant turned so-called journalists george stephanopoulos, you can see them whispering in clintons risk years. he aked rudy giuliani, donald trumps attorney, former new york city mayor, what is a completely nonsensical totally hypothetical and, fra...

I think the president will have to make the tough decision and fire many of these people riddled by scandal because they are taking away from whatever good deeds he may like to argue that his administration is doing. absolute power corrupts absolute absolutely. very much to vet people properly. but again, i think it is very, very critical that the president looks at his cabinet and makes the stuff decisions and lets these people go because he is taking away from his overall message. >> wendy, wh...
