Clinton did, bush did or that obama did. i think thats the problem that all of this poses, that it only underscores other things weve heard about this president from previous books or from previous senior administration officials, from senators. bob corker, for instance, going on the record saying the white house is an adult daycare center, likening the president to a child in many ways. i think thats the problem that this white house has. also the fact that this president is just distracted by ...

Again, asking senators to change libel laws. take a listen. >> hey, mike and john, can you do me a favor? create libel laws where people say bad stuff about you, you can sue them. >> on sundays state of the union, ankkellyanne conway folld suit. >> there can be an investigation if theres criminal activity. >> now, while the administrations anger may be understandable, their remedies require a reality check. first, the presidents cal for new libel laws against, quote, totally made up stories that...

Carolina, and research triangle area of north carolina. yesterday, a spoke to some beach goers who were trying to enjoy the last bit of good weather. locals, alisyn and john, told me they went to the store to prep before enjoying the last bit of good weather here. >> kaylee, thanks for being there for us. well watch this storm all morning long. cnn has learned white house aides believe they have narrowed the hunt for the unnamed senior official who wrote the so-called resistance op-ed in "the ...

We all know that. never-ending chaos, drama, dysfunction is very real. and to deny that fact is absurd. we can all obsess about the writer of this op-ed. i certainly hope this is a senior administration official but we can obsess about it but we have to look at the root cause and thats the presidents behavior and conduct in office. >> you say you know it. is this because you saw it and heard it when you were still a member of congress? >> yes, of course! you know, ive said this before. i was in ...

Way we do government. >> charlie, ive joked earlier in the program but, as you know, i like to recycle in my jokes. why not a strip search? weve gotten to the point where the vice president is saying that. couldnt the vice president have said this is all silly? we dont need to have polygraphs. were all staying on our message, and if theres one malcontent, im sure he or she will be discovered sooner or later. the fact that the vice president is going to the degree saying yes, i support polygraphs...

Being floated. every president is frustrated by leaks, but past efforts to force newspapers to divulge sources were derald by something called the first amendment. thats why its significant that team trump is suggesting national security could have been violated. keep in mind theres no evidence of that. but the primary mechanism used to prosecute leakers is the 1917 espionage act. thats what the nixon administration vote in their effort to block the pentagon papers and they got smacked down big ...

Print them number. one interesting thing this morning at 5:00 a.m. when you saw the president tweet that hes checking with the nra. thats pretty instructional is not to go to congress, not to go to the state department, his own administratio administration, his cabinet. i need to check with the national rifle association. that shows you where his priorities are. >> whats your message to the president? >> well, he should go to the state department, not the nra, and tell secretary state pompeo tha...

Any other president in the united states of america. and what weve seen is this declaration was definitely not up to what many others have signed. d i also think that its a real shame that the partisanship in america. because other presidents have offered to meet with the north korean leadership and have been trashed. they were democratic presidents, like president obama and even recently president clinton was saying in 2000, he was invited, he would have met with kim jong-il, but he was so busi...

I and secretary pompeo have had many discussions and we will continue to do that with her counterparts. >> bret: so you have heard the criticism from your opponents politically saying, if you tear up the steel, whats to say to foreign countries and leaders that any deal done by one administration really doesnt stick to the next administratio administration? >> steve: well, lets be clear, this wasnt a politically binding deal. the previous administration never took it to congress to have it passe...

Simple majority passage. >> i believe we need to keep our word, talking about on the omnibus, express or implied, the word is important and the agreement is important. i expressed that publicly and to the president. >> some people said well, we shouldnt support the rescission because we didnt make a deal. >> if the recession package passes in the house, it would put house leader kevin mccarthy in very good stead with conservatives in the house who he will need if he decides to for house speaker....
