And worked in the past three republican administrations and brian lanza, former deputy communications director for president trump during the transition. carrie, let me begin with you. the fact that "the new york times" has reported that the president ordered don mcgahn, the white house counsel, not his personal lawyer, someone who works for the taxpayers, the office of the presidency, to go to sessions and to do pretty much everything he could to get sessions not to recuse himself from the russ...

Left. >> harris: wanted to get down to the basic level. when something like this happens, it was beyond the book. access to the most powerful man in our constellation. and arguably around the world. thats kind of disturbing. and it wouldnt matter who was or what their intentions were. he was the most conciliatory or sweet writer in the world, but they had access. so am wondering, did steph break rules, what happen here? this is americas president. >> marie: and think what it shows a particularly...

Sometimes on this show, we get lucky on live tv. on october, we were puzzling over the news that the president had been personally interviewing candidates for federal prosecutor jobs, u.s. attorney positions in new york. that seemed like the kind of thing presidents dont usually do, since u.s. attorneys in the justice department and the attorney general are all supposed to operate independent of the white house. just a few days after those reports, as luck would have it, we got former attorney g...

Sometimes on this show we get lucky on live tv. in october, we were puzzling over the news that the president had been personally interviewing potential candidates for federal prosecutor jobs, u.s. attorney positions in new york. seemed like kind of thing presidents dont usually do. u.s. attorneys, justice department and attorney general all supposed to operate independent of the white house. few days after that report, eric holder was on the show for interview. he fired off basically emergency ...

By tweet and particularly with regard to north korea, if you look at the loim of that regime over the decades, theyre always putting out bombastic language. i think trying to keep up with them is not the way we should be focussed. to the trump administrations credit, and what the tweeting does, it actually takes away from the focus on the actions. and the administration has made a lot of progress with three u.n. security counsel resolutions that have been unanimously passed in the security couns...

Legislatures or administrations consistently moving to place either road blocks in front of public assistance or take away benefits on the back end. ultimately, its something that probably has some constitutional hurdles. in 1972 goldberg vs. kelly decided that unemployment and public assistance benefits are property without the meaning of the due process clause and have to be treated as such. so its possible have you some constitutional hurdles. secondly we continue to villainize poor people an...

Frustration that exist within that upper echelon of government officials that they are trying to execute a actual strategy, and the way we have seen top administrations execute strategies in the past but the president of the united states is not close to onboard. >> they are lonely decisions. we are talking about all the bluster right now, and absent an acute crisis, thats something to be thinking about and frightened about. >> thats true. all the tweets have been on the sides of things. >> than...

Unleash a major potentially catastrophic war in the korean peninsula. and then you have the president and now more recently ambassador haley, who have taken a much more uncompromising and tougher line. if youre north korea, i think you have to be a little bit confused by this. it does make life difficult, especially for the south korean government of president moon. he, of course, comes from a political party that has wanted to see some measure of reconciliation. he now has that opportunity. i t...

America they thought they knew. i think over time, over years or decades, i can imagine countries doing everything from deferring more to china or to a russia, or i could see countries taking matters into their own hands more. thinking about maybe they need nuclear weapons >> the president keeps talking about how other countries used to laugh at us and theyre not laughing at us anymore. i dont know where he experiences that, but it seems to be something he brings up that nobodys laughing at us a...
