They involved white supremacist, and eugenicist, white nationalist, and that kind of stuff. >> tucker: i heard one of them call you anti-gay. >> yeah. you know, first place, should i go on record and say, im not a white supremacist, im not -- okay. its unreal. its been unreal, actually, for the last six months where its not that people are twisting things you have said, they are making assertions about what you have said but there are no relationship to anything you have said. >> tucker: and dis...

Memorable. they involved white supremacist, and eugenicist, and white nationalist, and that kind of stuff. >> tucker: i heard one of them call you anti-gay? >> yes. should i go on record and say, i am not a white supremacist. its unreal. its been unreal for the last six months, where its not that people are twisting things you have said. they are making assertions about what you have said that they have no relationship to things you have said. >> tucker: distorting what you said, almost invertin...

>> how about were sorry. >> the times used false assertions about miss palin. they published and promoted the column despite knowing the false assertion that mrs. palin incited a person to murder six people. they violated the law and its own policies. in a legal sense does she have a case? what does the supreme court say about this? >> the supreme court has set a high bar for suing public figures called "the new york times" versus sullivan. you have to prove that something was published either w...

How do you stack up his credibility against the president who repeatedly lies about everything? >> its not a fair fight when you put it that way. and in tweet is really one of the great failures of donald trumps adult life. i mean i think that as a businessman he was probably successful in bluffing people and making assertions to kind of psych people out. playing games of chicken and getting the other person to back down. and in this case it just failed spectacularly. he dropped a banana peel in...

About everything? >> its not a fair fight when you put it that way. and in tweet is really one of the great failures of donald trumps adult life. i mean i think that as a businessman he was probably successful in bluffing people and making assertions to kind of psych people out. playing games of chicken and getting the other person to back down. and in this case it just spald spectacularly. he dropped a banana peel in front of his own feet. that tweet led to the appointment of bob mueller whose ...

Statements to lester holt of nbc news? >> i think a lawyer creates a problem when he makes assertions of fact that run directly contrary to things that his client has actually said in public that everybody heard him say. so both as to the rationale for firing comey and as to whether or not he was under investigation, you now have a lawyer denying things weve all heard out in the plain air. so i dont think we can get these people in front of a situation where theyre under oath quickly enough. a l...

The public record? >> it depends on the tweet. these last tweets which are really just sort of rants i dont think put him in any greater legal jeopardy. if he makes factual assertions, i did not say this as was reported in his press conference or other things that are factual statements of his action or his intention, then that could put him in legal jeopardy. but rants just are rants and they dont really implicate him terribly from a legal standpoint. >> the instinct is to suggest that this can...

And even if the supreme court decided to take it, the arguments are pretty overwhelming. and the findings of the court below are pretty overwhelming. it is very hard to argue that is not a ban based on religious discrimination. the courts found that in tremendous detail. were talking about really carefully written opinions. lengthy increase into the facts. i believe the supreme court shouldnt touch it. i dont think they need to touch it. and the president himself needs to move on. we do not need...

Lengthy increase into the facts. i believe the supreme court shouldnt touch it. i dont think they need to touch it. and the president himself needs to move on. we do not need to enact laws based on religious discrimination in this country. and i dont think any court is going to allow it. >> if the court does take the case, whats the timetable? when would you expect? >> then it rolls over into later this year. theyre not going to do anything until late in the year. but in the meantime, there is n...

Information. i want to show you poll numbers that, obviously, this is the lowest donald trump has ever been at in gallup. 36% approval rating. the disapproval, i guess, is as high as its ever been. record high, 59%. harold, my question -- you know, i always joke about president bannons approval ratings. it is, in fact -- put it back up there, please. that is president bannons view of how you run the white house. take no prisoners. us against the world. attack everybody. go to war with the intel ...
