Just about everything. take a listen to this. >> when you look at the trade deals -- and nobody knows it better than me. nobody knows more about construction than i do. nobody knows the politicians better than i do. believe me. nobody knows more about environmental impact statements than me. so a general gets on sent obviously by obama. he says, mr. trump doesnt understand. he knows nothing about defense. i know more about offense and defense than they will ever understand, believe me. i know mo...

That roger stone has a lot of bluster and issues that he may not have direct knowledge. >> and not a lot of credibility. but that just adds to the list. now paul manafort has no more credibility as a witness at all because -- >> there is an entire cast of characters here who are not credible. these are not truth telling people. they have repeatedly lied to investigators. nearly everybody charged in the special counsels investigation has included some kind of charge of lying to federal investigat...

Levels of intelligence, ryan. >> yeah. look, hes spent his whole career with that kind of bluster, right? i mean thats always what -- i grew up in new york in the 80s and, you know, donald trump was on the front pages of the tabloids all the time. so i remember this from my youth, this kind of ridiculous bluster. didnt expect it to be in a president, especially with trump. but, look, just to get back to the main theme of the segment about the lying, i mean we talk about trump lying every day, an...

Trump. if you lineup the timeline, a lot of this looks not great for them, to put it mildly. >> we also know that roger stone was said publicly that he had a conversation with donald trump. that was a day after apparently he was e-mailing about julian assange. to the presidents temperament or mood or whatever we were talking about before, the circle is closing here. i think it has to worry the president because he did communicate are roger stone unless roger stone is lying about it which is a po...

Mueller is trying to do here, trying to use corsi? did stone use corsi? >> he spent two months investigating that. its unclear from the plea documents that ive seen that they can absolutely prove without a shadow of a doubt that corsi got information from julian assange, gave it to stone who, you know, in turn gave it to the trump campaign. >> right. >> what theyre trying to get corsi to plea to is that he lied to investigators about all those e-mails. now this could have been all bluster, but w...

Now, remember, during watergate, richard nixon could have tried pardoning all those burglars early on to shut them up just like trump could have tried pardoning manafort, flynn, or gates, say, two years ago. for all the bluster, trump has not done that yet for the same reasons nixon didnt do it even as things got worse -- because pardoning the guilty people in a conspiracy in the middle of an open probe does make you look like youre part of the conspiracy. and trump continues to insist hes not p...

Investigation thats a search for truth, hes interested in clearing his name even if thats not consistent with the evidence. >> doesnt that give, natasha, an alternative reading? giuliani is often described as brazen or reckless or gaffe-prone. which is possible. i have seen evidence of that. but another reading is he represents his client and his client has made it clear, according to pauls analysis, that the goal is not so much to cooperate or show the facts but to effectively obstruct and dest...

Now disapprove of trump. thats according to the latest gallup poll. thats up ten points from a little over a month ago. what can we attribute that uptick to? >> look, hes a guy whos run a incredibly divisive administration. hes a failed president on almost every single axis. almost none of things he promised would occur have occurred. he doesnt have his wall. the tax bills gone over like a wet diaper. see? i almost went too far. but trumps administration basically is comprised of executive order...

Going to indianapolis trying to save that plant, and we find out the promises were not made. you dont get this down by sort of bluster. this is hard work, and i think the president probably knows that, but youve got to be careful with your rhetoric. one thing you dont want to deal with people in that part of ohio or any part of the country is to make a promise to them you cant keep. false hope leads to big problems, it leads to damaged dreams. dont false hope. maybe there can be something that c...

President bragged about manufacturing jobs. >> the previous administration, they said manufacturings never coming back. its gone. youd need a magic wand. well, we found the magic wand, and thats actually -- thats actually going to be increasing by a lot in the next short while because we have a lot of companies moving in. >> that was the same day he bragged about manufacturing jobs. it was bad news for gm today. the company announcing it will cut 15% of its jobs and close five north american pla...
