The soviet union did it with jack kennedy, this is a familiar pattern. and i think that if you live by bluster, to some extent, you end up paying the price for it. trump offered relatively facile criticism of president obama. do any of us really think hes thought out syrias role in the world and the balance of power in the middle east? i hope he has but i wouldnt bet my mortgage payment on it. and so hes -- i think to robins point, i think one of the great questions is not even whos making polic...

Was to say, lets stop. this is like a train going over a cliff, not just taking the senate with it, the supreme court, apply the brakes and ponder the fact this has never been done in u.s. history and never before has a seat been stolen and forwarded to the next administration in hopes of packing the court. if this succees for ever more the majority will use it as a tool they can choose that turns the court perpetual warfare who can pack the court the most and loses its legitimacy in the united ...

About bluster is very important. the response to almost every issue has been bluster. mike flynn says to the iranians, we are putting iran on notice when they test a missile. rex tillerson says 20 years of engage -- diplomacy toward north korea has failed, were going to go on a different path. nikki haley yesterday said if the world doesnt act, we will. you cant just say stuff like this when youre running the most powerful country in the world. it means something and your credibility will be dim...

Geopolitics. who knows whether that could actually happen or not, but thats one of the reasons i think why president trump did actually hold out the possibility of something big happening. >> i want to talk health care for a moment. a week ago the day the health care bill was voted on, the repeal and replace, president trump said either we put this through or i move on. i want to focus on tax reform. and then last week he was going after members of the freedom caucus. so help me understand, ther...

He is under fbi investigation. he has lost his two big first initiatives and thats his travel ban and then health care. he is a lot of talk, tough talk, a lot of bluster but going into the meetings in a weakened position as the leader of the most powerful country in the world. hes meeting with the leader of arguably the second most powerful country in the world and comes at it in a weakened position. also theres no clear foreign policy coming out of this administration. we dont know who is in ch...

Block a deal with the republicans onboard, he would simply turn to democrats and do some kind of bipartisan solution. again, this may be bluster, but also might point to the fact that hes willing to be ruthlessly pragmatic and work with anybody whos willing to work with him. >> do you think hes been ruthlessly pragmatic thus far? >> i think hes certainly embarked on a strategy, which is to talk big, put out those crazy tweets, be dramatic to threaten people. and then climb down quite significant...

But lets hear what they said about the l.a. times a short time ago. >> are the polls, they come out with these polls an everybody was surprised, los angeles times shocking, they did a great job. >> so now his opinion about the "l.a. times" might change, it will roll out the entire week, here is part of what they said, still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck, like millions of other americans we clung to the slim hope that the new president would turn out to be all noise a...

Victory. see if he can get any momentum coming out of that. >> thank you both for stopping by on a sunday. >> thank you. >> all right. president trump talked tough about china during the presidential campaign. one of the topics we were alluding to. he accused the chinese of cheating americans out of billions so what will he do in a face-to-face meeting with the president of china? will it be blusser -- bluster or diplomacy? per roll more "doing chores for dad" per roll more "earning something yo...

Do you see this as a agagenuine threat against north korea or blufte bluster? >> well, one of the things weve discovered about this new president is he has no clue how to deal with foreign matters. this threat in a news conference prior to meeting with the head of state is just not good. he may think that he can threaten people and that we have the biggest guns, et cetera, but he should be about trying to avoid war. he should be about trying to figure out ways to work with china in such a way th...
