On the notion that these presidents are excluding president trump, no one has that criticism when president bush and clinton created the haiti relief fund and ask why they excluded president obama. nobody asking the question of president bush and johnsons created the leadership scholar program and excluded president obama. now former presidents getting together and now we are creating this narrative that they are excluding president trump. he did not say that. >> scott, you got 15 seconds real q...

Moment im not sure what i could have said or what i should even say to you in this moment, i cant imagine what youre going through. he could have done that personally. >> thats right. >> he is the commander in chief. listen, i take it that the congresswoman she put it out there as well and she has some degree of responsibility. whatever you feel about that. she is not the commander in chief. she is not the president of the united states. she does not have to be the consoler in chief. so the pres...

Soldiers and marines in the area and left a lot of time. president bush, president obama they handled it in their own way. look, im writing letters, honoring them, like you said he had to do a drive by slap, speculated -- how do you know that? and then this morning the use of robert kelly, i really felt -- i dont know. its just terrible. >> its sickening. >> yeah, it really is. >> this is the concern from something when something really horrific happened, would this particular president be able ...

Again, how do you know that? >> thats just what i was told. >> this morning, that was bad enough, it was bad i thought. then this morning, the use of robert kelly. i really felt -- i dont know, its just terrible. >> its sickening, it is. >> it really is. >> this is -- the concern for many is when something really horrific happened, would this particular president be able to console the country or be the consoler in chief for the person who made us feel there was concern, especially after las veg...

At some point we have to say you know what? youre bad at this. and not just youre bad at this, we have to question whether he has the emotional strength, the moral courage, the fortitude to actually do this job. how low he is the bargain. >> lets assume -- donald trump is not the great communicator. and im completely willing to -- >> but he is president of the united states. he is the president of the united states. and you cant normalize this one. wait a minute. let me say this to you. let me s...

For lack of a better phrase there. how does he view himself as the consoler in chief? obviously, there was criticism when he first went down to the hurricane zones, first at harvey, he wasnt in houston, but visited one of the areas nearby closer to the coast where the storm hit and folks said he didnt have a chance to focus on the victims, instead focused on himself. its a question that fundamentally sort of dogs this president throughout the first eight, nine months of his presidency. >> talkin...

By the president, and using it to advance the medias biased agenda. ill be honest, i didnt think we would discuss this here and then it kept going all day. and it feels like the president the cant stop digging a hole here, a little bit the president got himself in some trouble before he was elected, picking a fight with a gold star family. and he didnt exactly learn from that experience. now we have he be just the congresswoman but dead soldiers, a mother affirming her view. it is very hard to k...

What do we need to know about the situation and what does the silence mean to you, general? >> chris, i dont want to compare. when i wrote letters to family members what i would just say is console them on their loss, tell them how their soldier contributed to the defense of the nation. you dont have to get into the details. what barbara said is really emotional. because thats the kind of stories each one of these kids have, these young men and women who are less than 1% of their country. they d...

And the president backtracked later, suggesting, well, thats what his advisers told him. your reaction. >> boy, a tough day for the president. how about the families who accepted a child or father or spouse home in a casket. its not a tough day for them? this guy has the empathy of a cochroach. from the day after his inauguration when he showed up at my agencies, the former agency, the cia, in front of the wall of fallen hero said and spoke about the size of his inauguration. fast forwarding it ...

This many people in desperate need of the basics of life, it could lead to very bad things, which its bad for that society, bad for our country. my advice to them is keep trying to help. its frustrating. theyre not going to get a break on the coverage on this. i dont know why we blame presidents for mother nature. i think its stupid. but presidents do have to be the consoler in chief. my guess is people on the ground appreciate the help when they get it. >> you said that society, theyre american...
