Mentality. the president basically believes the justice department is his peschell playground for him to direct the law enforcement apparatus of the united states to go after his political enemies and that is a deeply dangerous proposition. but its consistent with his broader world view. he thinks that if the president criticizes him he should yank their licenses. he thinks the u.s. foreign policy is there to advance the business interests of himself and his family. so all of this adds up to a p...

People. the manufacturing industries that use it, millions of people. youre going to hurt the manufacturers. the people who work the manufacturers, and youre not helping that many people with the tariffs. >> whats likely to be the consequence? what will regular folks see? will prices rise in basic goods? >> yes. >> will jobs be impacted? >> yes to both. good on the president and administration for wants to attack this head on. they are addressing this in a more aggressive fashion than previous a...

Secretary of defense, whose name escapes me right now, i can see a picture of him. prior to his going to trial. so the pardon power is used just as each president is a different person, they want to use it the way that they feel comfortable. i think he took great joy, i know in giving scooter libby a pardon. he told me, im so happy, im making him happy. so the president is righting many wrongs, not just from the obama administration but other administrations, and thats what the power should be a...

Jack johnson may 24. and today with dinesh dsouza. tell me about the timeline and how this works. the process of it. because there is a pardon attorney at the justice department. but as i understand, one of the things that dinesh dsouza has told "the daily caller" he appreciates president trumps gut sense of justice and other administrations would have had endless meetings but president trump just does it. how does it actually work? >> i got to say. this is another example of this administration...

The more important issue here is making sure that north korea understands the pressure that the united states has put on them and the maximum campaign that we have put in place to make sure that they are going to denuclearize. every president has tried to get it done in the last 30 years. previous administrations have taken pallets of cash and given it to north korea and said please dont have a nuclear program and they laughed at us. this president is very different. if north korea is not willin...

Im looking for a clearance for my attorney reveal this to the public. this is just the beginning. >> sean: even former assistant u.s. attorney, andy mccarthy, hes backing up some of these claims in an article entitled, "the obama administrations have been preferable pretext for spying on the trump campaign." any article, "the obama administration decided to use as counterintelligence powers to spy on the trump campaign using at least one corporate environment, electronic monitoring of communicat...

The justice department that other presidents, like the one you served and president obama and like every other president has felt a sacred trust to be custodian of those institutions and make them better. but to respect what theyve done. this administration is about donald trump. its all about donald trump. and if those institutions are doing things that are inconvenient or dangerous to donald trump, then later for those institutions. they must be bad. and they have to be, you know, dishonored a...

Questioning muellers credibility, referring to the investigators as john was saying, as angry democrats even though they have registrations and histories working for republican administrations. and this is all part of the breaking point whenever that comes of whether they refuse an interview with mueller or they just fight a subpoena through the courts. and that is when the president and this white house will rely on the conservative base to rally with them. but if there are fissures, thats goin...
