President does. interesting to see how effective macron can be with donald trump. he understands how important rapport and vanity and flattery are to this president. this is a person donald trump who doesnt like the iran deal. not because of what ambassador hill said about whether its far-reaching or how it stacks up with other deals. just that the past president, barack obama, did this deal. hes campaigned, the president has, how terrible it is and has not yet torn the thing up. so the presiden...

Transaction. ive said it from spending a lot of time talking with both donald trump and others close to him during the transition. this is a man and this is a white house who believe, they act as if and have always believed whether its middle east peace, russia, china or north korea that history did not start until january 20th, 2017. and richard haass, they have learned in the middle east that there is a lot to unwind when you go in and try to strike negotiations in the middle east. i will say,...

That people arent talking about how big their buttons are, that weve kind of toned down or ratcheted do you know the rhetoric around war. now, i do think that trump has gotten ahead of himself. i think that kim is playing him for a variety of reasons. im worried about what do we have underneath trump and his bluster, do we have the folks in place to do what we need done? >> and where is china at this? >> and japan. i mean, so theyre in south korea, theres these other actors, but the first thing ...

Kimberly, we have stormy daniels attorney michael avenatti and he says cohen will turn on the president to save himself. do you think thats bluster? is there any conventional wisdom what cohen might have that would be damaging to the president? >> thats the million-dollar question. we dont know exactly what information that this probe could uncover, that could be damaging to the president. i think that is a major factor that well have to see but, look, you have to take into account no matter how...

Rudy giuliani is, i think, has some bluster in saying he can close down this investigation in two weeks. i dont think anybody really believes thats a possibility. but these kinds of crimes, these kinds of intent crimes, these white collar crimes that you have to prove intent are hard to do, and they will try to use every level that they can to get the investigation against their client, in this case the president, closed down. >> former federal prosecutor leland brennan on rudy giulianis claim t...
