Just dont let it get to you. so, and i mean, im not -- im just not going to let myself respond to the kinds of assertions that trump is making, because it just plays into his game. >> reporter: and, brooke, what weve heard from him here on the bus tour when people ask him about taking on president trump, or when hes pitching himself. then he says, look, i want to play my own game. i want to run my own race in a way and not get down in it with president trump. whats interesting to also consider i...

Frustrated when assertions are made that are simply not accurate. but as my son will say, dad, just keep your cool, dont let it get to you. >> what do you think? >> you know, i do think -- and you make the hillary clinton comparison. i think men, particularly white men who are seeking positions of power, are often given much more leeway than women are. i think in this instance a lot of voters will see a tough guy and they want joe biden to be tough. >> how would they react if elizabeth warren re...

So we have the alleged victim of quid pro quo, bribery, extortion, whatever we are dealing with today, repeatedly and adamantly shouting from the rooftops that he never felt pressure and he was not the victim of anything. so in order for this whole thing to stick we have to believe that president zelensky is a pathological liar or that the ukrainian president and the country are so weak that he has no choice but to parade himself out there demoralize himself for the good of his country. either o...

Quo. we have the alleged victim of quid pro quo, bribery, extortion, repeatedly and adamantly shouting from the rooftops that he never felt pressured, he was not the victim of anything. so in order for this whole thing to stick, we have to believe that president zelensky is a pathological liar, for the ukrainian president and the country are so weak that he has no choice but to parade himself out there, demoralize himself for the good of his country. either of these two assertions weakens their ...

From the position of quid pro quo. so we have the alleged victim of quid pro quo, bribery, extortion, whatever were dealing with now today, repeatedly and adamantly shouting from the rooftops that he never felt pressure. that he was not the victim of anything. so in order for this whole thing to stick, we have to believe that president zelensky is a pathological liar. or that the ukrainian president and the country are so weak that he has no choice but to parade himself out there, demoralize him...

"the new york times" reports it is at odds with sworn testimony from senior american diplomats, white house officials, and other administration officials. the times also says this. rather than take those assertions at face value, the republicans charge that they came from civil servants who dislike mr. trumps agenda and style. and are, therefore, allowing themselves to be part of a push by democrats to undo the results of the 2016 balloting and thwart mr. trumps re-election chances in 2020. the ...

That he knew something fishy was afoot. the other thing is that he was staunching opposed to trumps july 25th phone call with ukraines president because he was afraid that the president would use it to air his personal political grievances, which of course is exactly what happened. the other important thing is that as a former national security adviser, if he were to testify against the president, he would be the most high-profile witness to date, not to mention the fact that he also has receipt...

Out information. then they started leaking transcripts. now everythings been out in the open. now were going to have another hearing over in judiciary when the cake is already baked and theyre saying, hey, come on in and help us with the icing at the end. if im the presidents legal team, im saying no way to that. this was not a fair process from the beginning. were going to continue to fight this fight the way weve been doing it. were going to get to the senate where the rules of evidence apply ...

Issue which the judge did carve out but didnt really illuminate in great detail, which is executive privilege. that mcgahn could still exert executive privilege, but what could that cover? do we know? and if in the case of don mcgahn, we already know these issues surround whether or not the president was telling him to fire people and obstruct justice. would it cover testimony about that? >> executive privilege is an area very unlike attorney-client privilege that is not well litigated, so its n...

Privilege. i guess it would be the white house. what could that cover? do we know? if in fact in the case of don mcgahn, we know about these issues surround whether or not the president was telling him to fire people and obstruct justice, would it cover testimony about that? >> executive privilege is an area very unlike attorney-client privilege that is not well litigated. its not very cheer what the parameters are. i think what we will see if don mcgahn shows up to testify is a lot of xergss of...
