that s actually more powerful than we are in certain areas and they have the ability to tell us no, no, no. we re seeing that on the backing where trump suddenly tweeted, we need to protect chinese jobs. i don t think anyone voted for trump to protect chinese jobs. a lot of people confused about that. do we need american allies long term. multibased multilateral institutions, many presidents on both sides have felt have served us well are actually constraints on american power. they don t bolster it. steve: i think there s an argtd argument that just disagrees without approach doesn t mean you re leaving and it doesn t mean you re not only putting america first but the stability in the world. you can actually have both, something in the interest of america and good for the world. i think that s what he s doing, don t you think? i certainly think that s what he thinks he s doing. there s actually no if you
general. bret: the reason that apartment, deputy attorney general, and the confirmation is okay is because the attorney general jeff sessions had to recuse himself from the russia investigation because of ties and meetings with the russian ambassador. that s correct. bret: if you are in the fbi, let me redo this. from chris van holland. he is the senator from maryland. he says the you are fired approach doesn t work when you are president. potus, you have created a crisis of confidence in our jus department, continuing yet another reason we need an independent prosecutor to investigate trump s ties to russia. do you think all of this raises the stakes for an independent prosecutor? we have two individuals who are tied in terms of their service to the previous administration, fbi director and
