Guilty thinking. guilty thinking perhaps is really what i want to say. we heard, you know, from the closed testimony given by the intel chiefs that he seemed obsessed with russia. and i think its true. i think that he just circles back to it over and over again. its the beating heart that he cant get to. and as far as how his fans react, you know, its very much an alternative universe among that 35% that still approves of him, that still go to the rallies he has. i could go into detail about the...

Regarding the trump administration, the trump administration will deal with russia but they will deal with it in a private manner and they will not broadcast what theyre doing. its exactly what obama tried to do as he was walking out the door by putting these cyber bombs into the infrastructure for russia. dont broadcast it, dont tell them what theyre doing, keep it secret. >> martha: from your side of the political aisle, is there concern that we have fueled this flame in terms of this investig...

They believe what he has to say. they believe a lot of things that arent true. >> charlie sykes, donald trump considers time covers very important. he likes to lie about having been on more of them than anyone else but hes been on a lot. robert mueller has at least his second "time" magazine cover that is coming out in the next issue of "time" magazine. weve just put it up on the screen there. theres robert mueller in a kind of statesmanlike pose with the headline, "the lie detector" on the cove...

Is going to say it for them. as far as the opponents coming after him, i think theyre taking the opportunity -- >> hold on, hold on. ill get you guys in. im so happy to have all of you on the show. but that also does not serve his -- the people -- his supporters. theyre actually not being informed. and theyre thinking that his behavior is okay, and that it plays well. and that actually gets his agenda across. it does the exact opposite. do you understand what im saying? >> i think youre talking ...

Two different things. >> no, for them to sit there and lavish all this praise on the president, it doesnt help people who support him. because theyre not getting the full -- no, no, hold on -- they dont get the full picture. they think its okay for him to be hyperbolic, for him to tweet out things that arent true, that hes accomplished all these things when he really hasnt. that thing today weve accomplished this, weve done this, its not true. shouldnt someone be sitting there saying, look, mr. ...

Pretty quickly if the president doesnt give a full explanation. i think you will see subpoenas. >> president trump, as you know, hes accusing the former fbi director of lying under oath. thats perjury. you can go to jail if convicted and also dangling the prospect of those recordings if there are recordings to prove it. how does that refusal to release those tapes impact from your perspective, senator, the presidents credibility. >> well, the presidents credibility has suffered a great deal. i m...

All of the above is pretty problematic as well. >> all of the above is very bad. >> any of the above is a problem. >> any of the above is a problem. them meeting is a serious problem. mark halperin, where does all of this put us? yes, theres going to be -- people will be screeching about paris for a day. thats the reason why -- trump set this up, im going to talk tomorrow at 3:00. >> let me get a jazz band. >> and then he goes in and blabbers about things that arent true. then the ideological wo...
