from the campaign met with russian. okay, but, time out a second. i said i didn t see anybody do that, and nobody in my knowledge okay, so that s my the last year. my point is, just because you didn t see it, doesn t mean it didn t happen. you didn t see that one and that one happened. i agree with you, but that was a ridiculous nothing meeting. does the white house believe the president has the authority to pardon himself? i don t know. we haven t looked into that. i took constitutional law from larry tribe. and if professor tribe is listening, i know he didn t like the president but i got an a minus in your course. it doesn t matter anyway, he s not going to have to pardon himself, he s done absolutely nothing wrong. we don t have to worry about it, let s let the next president answer that question for you. i don t even think we need to be discussing it. my colleague andrew kaczynski noted you wrote a rather
that doesn t seem to me the white house has right now. it s just personalities instead of a portfolio and a plan. if he can bring a plan and convince the president that would do him well, i think they would be moving in a better direction. donald trump continues tatreat his life as if it s a reality tv. to me not a communication s problem here. that s what what the issue is. an unpopular president pursuing unpopular policies and also getting worsening and deepening with legal problems. that s where we are with this president right now. the things he has been able to pass because he hasn t been able to pass any major piece of legislation. the muslim ban, paris accord, pulling us out of that deal, trying to get rid of obamacare. that s what he s trying to do. that is the problem is donald trump, not who the communication director is. unemployment, right, we ve heard, low unemployment here. 4.4%.
would keep black lung coverage. no, you didn t make promises to coal miners. that s one of the reasons why you lost ohio. hold on, mike. everyone interrupted you. but you know what s happening to them now? donald trump and republicans are trying to take that coverage away through repealing the affordable care act. so we may not have connected enough, but we never lied, as your candidate did. jason, i have to ask you, is that a successful strategy when someone like kirsten gillibrand, who has been, you know, a respected politician and lawmaker? to is that a good strategy? let s take a step back and look at what is happening here. there are a bunch of men in washington who have gotten into a room, only men, to talk about what the health care bill is going to look like, how they re going to repeal obamacare. so by the way, also, the head of their party has used i don t think if he saw that clip, i don t think president trump learned some words he didn t know, right? in fact,
well, i just don t think i just don t believe there are tapes. i think if there were tapes, you d probably already have seen the tapes or heard the tapes. yeah. so, you mentioned collusion, we were joking in the beginning but that wasn t what the hearing was about yesterday. no one said there was no collusion. they said that they didn t talk about it much. he said when he left, he didn t see any evidence of collusion but that doesn t mean it didn t happen. it may not have happened. people keep talking keep on talking about collusion with the russians, and, you know, as they ve said in hearings and hearings and hearings, there s no proof anywhere of collusion, but it seems that there are people in the media still searching under every rock to try and find collusion with donald trump. but michael there had to be a reason, go back for a minute, don the purpose of the hearing yesterday was whether why he got fired. that was the purpose of the hearing. they didn t go i
and also, i mean, once he s under oath, they can ask whatever questions they want. he s got to be truthful about it. so, yeah, i don t know if that would be a smart thing. he doesn t have to testify. he doesn t have to testify under oath. i think yesterday yeah, were there winners all the way around? the biggest winner i think in many ways was trump. yeah. because we found out he hasn t been investigated. he was told three times before we get to that, let me ask you, why do you think there are no tapes? well, i just don t think i just don t believe there are tapes. i think if there were tapes, you d probably already have seen the tapes or heard the tapes. yeah. so, you mentioned collusion, we were joking in the beginning but that wasn t what the hearing was about yesterday. no one said there was no collusion. they said that they didn t talk about it much. he said when he left, he didn t see any evidence of collusion but that doesn t mean it didn t happen. it may not h
