Now completely pointless. >> you dont think theres a value in hearing people in the white house saying things which are demonstrably false? >> i dont think theres a value in sean spicer who is not inside, who doesnt know what hes talking about. he is either lying to us and spinning us -- which doesnt advance -- doesnt inform the public, or he doesnt know. >> but does anybody know -- >> doesnt he read the newspaper? >> it was in every newspaper. it is not possible he didnt know. >> i totally disa...

Cannot positively affirm this very basic fact is extremely surprising. the fact that hes willing to take vladimir putin, a former kgb officerss word and cannot say this truth occurred is troubling for the americans. its great for russia. russia can keep pushing on this narrative saying that, well, the president of the united states says this is not actually happening, and they can run with this until the cows come home. >> and when it comes to his openness on createsing the cyber security team a...

That he knew nothing and took the meeting anyway? >> right. and im saying that was -- thats what kellyanne conway talked about today and donald trump junior said today. >> and you find that acceptable? >> i dont have any evidence to the contrary at this point in time. im sure that people that have the power to investigate is going to ask those kind of questions. to assume that theyre lying to us when thats the only set of facts we have i think is taking a side like you would if you were cheering...

Always trying to find ways around it. >> i never read it, so i dont know who wrote it, honestly. >> you just told me it was to you. >> i could assume it was. its likely, very likely. but do i know for sure? i didnt read it. okay? maybe i do. but am i wrong -- >> what gohr doesnt know is that staff has already confirmed agee wrote the note. >> i didnt tell them like who i was writing. they wanted me to. they were like, who is it for? and i was like, i dont know who it was for. >> since the violat...

>> the government is like, wait a minute, thats not fair. we want our part of it. good old uncle sam. in 1791 alexander hamilton -- no, not that one -- decided to impose a luxury tax on whiskey which is people did not take too kindly to as they just left another country because of taxes. also, they like drinking whisky. avoiding those taxes led to the term "moonshine." folks began making their whiskey by the light of the moon to avoid detection. the same way i eat ice cream in the middle of the ...

Way that reporting has been done. but the briefings do provide a way for the public to see the ways in which the media is holding public -- are holding public officials accountable. whats important here, too, a lot of the times the people giving the briefings, sean spicer or sarah huckabee sanders in this case are say they arent sure what the president thinks. theres many times they say, well, i vice president had a chance to talk to him yet. we dont know. >> its hard to believe the press secret...

Speech. that hasnt happened and president obama, he said he found 32 cases where he talked about this. >> this is a totally different environment. when they get to conference, they are now going to be talking about the final bill. at that point the president should make a speech. the truth is he didnt know what the congress could pass. he doesnt know, as mitch mcconnell doesnt know, what the senate could pass. they are going to bring two very different bills into conference and thats the point w...

I wanted to make sure, this is corker, that were cutting taxes for the wealthy and for lower income citizens, passing a lower burden on to them. okay. told that what he described is what the cbo projected. so that needs to be overcome then, doesnt he? which either he is derelict in his duties and doesnt know what the bill does, or he is lying about it. the united states senators have to show some concern, grasp and command fundamentally. dont you agree, rick? >> well, look. i think this is an en...

On? >> well, let me address this in fwoin two points. politically this bill is going nowhere because it has no public support. now it has worse public support than the house bill. you have moderates on one side of the republican party, not even talking the democrats. you have conservatives in a fundamental disagreement about what this bill should be doing. so it doesnt. now mcconnell, who you would think, because he really is a good strategist and he would know how to get this bill through, he n...

In place sanctions in december. they were not strong enough. thats also one of the points of "the washington post" article. in fact some of the obamas inner circle also believed the reaction should have been stronger. whats also ironic is as meager as those sanctions are, trump wants to roll those sanctioning back. he wants to do even less. so its quite on the that hes not criticizing obama and claiming that he needs an apology. its also very important to know that we have just started this spec...
