B Switch Book News Today

I am watching and learning as we go along. we have james clapper on tonight to give us some perspective not just on whether he likes this move or not. i love listening to general hayden talk about the practicalities. i want to dig into that more with clapper. how much did he use the team before him to help him in his job? what does he know about the current team and what might happen and what might this move to all that? of course as you noted earlier, this is a big fat distraction. and were not...

This is the one that really matters. the white house just messaged the entire american intelligence community if you stand up and say things that upset the president or with which he disagrees, he will punish you. and that is a horrible message to be sending to folks who are there to tell you objective truth. >> lets drill down just on that last point, because i do think its a very important one, and one maybe that kind of got lost in a lot of the coverage today. you know, just explain the role ...

Wanted to serve for those purposes? >> absolutely, absolutely. no question about it. in omarosas first -- one of her earlier book, b-switch, she says that she wanted to be -- i think she even said in an interview, she wanted to be a billionaire. she wanted to be like him. >> right. >> donald trump is -- >> certainly serving in the white house is different than wanting to be a billionaire. >> thats true. i think she was inspired by his message and wanted to be effective in opening up the party an...

Attributes a lot, the first book, the b-switch book, to donald trump and the boardroom and learning from him. so i think there is some truth to the fact that she might have learned how to be strong, how to be effective, how to be what she is doing now in terms of manipulating the media to get what they want. thats what donald trump was known for doing in the past. but i think right now what you see, i dont think these are lesser trumps. i think what you saw and what you see are people who signed...

Threatening to do to you and others? >> first of all, anderson, with regard to john, it was personal and it was vindictive. and frankly, i think it was an overall judgment that john was being somewhat effective. you can tell im here at dulles. ive been traveling all day. so that tape you just played of sarah sanders describing why the president did it, i could translate for you, anderson, is that john brennans life experience gives him legitimacy to say a lot of the things he is saying, and the ...

Of the celebrity apprentice or whatever apprentice she was on, but that seemed to be her calling card. i saw her a little bit on celebrity big brother after she was fired. i mean, she was kind of masterful. . that is the sunniest spin on omarosa ive ever heard. come on. >> i think it reflects the person at heart. >> i wish i had that kind of idealism. but she is the epitome of an opportunist. as you pointed out, she was tape recording her conversations along the way, not because she was aboard t...

Call from the congressman for this district, republican congressman mike kaufman. he tells me he had a meeting today with immigration officials here in the denver area and he says the immigration officials have told him they have decided to reverse their decision about angela, that she will be allowed to become a u.s. citizen. this just happening. were told that they have issued a waiver in the best interest of the child. it will take a few months to finalize everything. but as of right now, she...

President trump today? the backdated statement notwithstanding, how much is this about changing the subject? how much of this is having power against his critics or some combination thereof? >> i think its a lot of things. i think the backdating of that statement was important. i dont think it was backdated. i think this is when they started looking at this. i think because there tends to be a keystone cops a speck about how serious things are executeded by this administration, that is what went...
