Back. similarly with jeremy corbyn. politicians do what politicians do. this relationship goes on. >> bret: the president is a counterpunch or, as we have said. the brexit vote that was a preamble almost to the donald trump vote that spoke to something else was happening, this populism. >> there is an uprising that transcends our country invaders. its happening a lot of places. donald trump is certainly a result of that. to some extent, the cause. more a result. the strain that it causes is refl...

Who i worked that would lose his cool every time someone told him we lacked evidence or we lacked proof. and his point was always that the cia and the intelligence community more broadly doesnt deal in evidence. we dont deal in proof. we deal in intelligence and analysts make assessments based on those -- based on that intelligence. its more art than science often times. to apply this to another case, we heard so much from mike pompeo and president trump that there is allegedly no direct reporti...

Ongoing let alone renewed and deepened relationship, but thats actually what happened between him and deutsche bank after that stunt. he couldnt pay them back $40 million that he owed them. when they came for it he was like, no, im suing you for $3 billion. what? and they responded by loaning him a ton more money. and the little twist in that that has always seemed inexplicable is that what deutsche bank did there was they moved trump over from another part of their bank to their private wealth ...

There? >> there has been at least a rekindling of some discussion. in fact, it was telling last night, people i talked to close to the white house noticed that sean hannity on fox news, who frankly sometimes acts as an unofficial white house spokesman, floated this very idea on his show last night. the question is was that a float with the presidents blessing or is that his attempt to steer the president a certain way, which we know sometimes advisers to donald trump find the best way to advise ...

Of the caravan that the president is creating because thats for his talk radio base. that is very clear. so the problem is the president doesnt deal in facts or truth. and so when were trying to move forward with policy, we have to sort of undo some of his mind-set. now, the interesting -- hold on, let me finish. >> sure. >> so the interesting thing though is we also know this president doesnt respect his own party. so he may actually decide to just do a deal with nancy and chuck based on howeve...

His members. listen, hes a part of the first branch of government too, and for him to sit back and say i have no role here, im just a minion of the presidency and the white house, degrades the office that he has and degrades the united states senate. so i think hes going to have to get off his back side and get into this. why doesnt he vote on the bill that came over or make changes to that bill and send it back or put his own bill on the floor? hes being entirely at this point passive, in part ...

Shown leadership. the house under house speaker paul ryan passed the bill with the funding. so mitch mcconnell could have taken the quote/unquote nuclear option. >> mitch mcconnell tried to deliver a deal to trump months ago and trump pulled the plug on it at the last minute. this is again someone who cant even do a deal with members of his own party. this is not mitch mcconnells fault. this solely resides with president trump. >> no, no, no. >> if theres a crisis on the southern border -- >> th...

Nomination. it was immigration. so i think woe be unto any democrat who doesnt understand the reason trump is in the white house is because of immigration. and we do have a border crisis. we do. life expectancy declined in this country for the second year in a row. we havent seen that since world war i. one of the key reasons was drugs. and drugs -- >> the question is -- >> can i finish? drugs coming over our southern border, fentanyl, is driving a lot of this decline in the life expectancy. thi...
