Anything he says. is it the crying wolf argument? >> i think that is something that we have to address across the board. because when we do face that situation and all administrations do, but i do think that we have an ability in our country to in times of crisis to see past some of the political things that may go on at other times during the year. and that when we stand up there and behind that podium or on the world stage confronting those cris crises, that we tend to believe our leaders rega...

Science. what he said is that it is an effort at the more transparency about the underlying data on which policies are built because there was a feeling in previous administrations, certainly by some of his ilk and conservatives that all of this data was being cooked, the books were being cooked so now hes going to be transparent about the underlying data. why do you think its the opposite of what hes saying in laymans terms? explain to us why this is a bad idea. >> a lot of the evidence that sc...

Industry, i have long to work fa president who really focuses on the taxpayer. this is a guy who is incredibly good at the negotiations, i wish that every american could see him do it, because he is completely relentless about the american taxpayer. and he does it in a very nice way. he is actually very complimentary to the other side. it is really the art of the deal, it is quite amazing. >> martha: it is fascinating to hear you say that, he worked for a number of administrations, you are at th...

The prisoners, were going to walk away from the table. imagine how powerful that image would be after the summit if the president were to fly home with these prisoners. that would be a huge moment, not just history between north korea and america and the world but doing something as you said, chris, administrations have tried to do for years and years. whats different, everyone is waiting for something to be fishy here. not all of it adds up. like six months ago we were going to all-out war with...

Briefing talking about her. she is the presidents nominee to be the new director of the c.i.a. her hearing is next week and it is expected to be quite controversial. even though she has widespread support across multiple administrations, republicans and democrats. yet, what do you think she will go through next week? >> well, frankly, she is going to go through some very tough questioning to be sure. i will tell you, i will underscore what you just said. i have spoken to many people here about h...

This has become almost a standard of presidencies now. >> right. and lets be honest. donald trump is the most distractable president weve had in the history of the united states. its been widely and repeatedly shown that he cant sit through intelligence briefings, cant absorb written materials of longer than a few bullet points at once. has no patience for any of the stuff and watches hours and hours of television, which he reveals to the country through his twitter feed by live tweeting "fox & ...

Run his entire presidency without a special prosecutor investigating anything in the administration. but the special prosecutors investigating administrations and the presidents themselves have been a distraction that most recent presidents have had to put up with. >> they have. and giuliani has seemed to manufacture this legal doctrine that you cant bother a president out of thin air. whats clear, lawrence, is mueller came to this fight fully loaded for bare. he probably saw the subpoena fight ...

Hes hired emmet flood, a top rated white house lawyer in two administrations and a big time lawyer here. what youre seeing from rudy giuliani is a public relations campaign and its backfiring. >> reporter: its backfiring. its hard to imagine he went out there and made those comments without the green light from the president. is this part of a coordinated strategy? we havent gotten answers to that yet. youve heard a number of legal analysts make the point that perhaps rudy giuliani and the presi...
