Reconsider whether this man should be in the oval office at all. >> is it surprising to you that really smart people, he says and people around him will say really smart people dont understand the words hes using? i know some really -- youre a linguist. is that the definition of covfef ferks? >> that doesnt work. if you take a written transcription of his babbling, you read it in writing and it looks like a martian said it. but the truth is context means a lot and he is coherent in his very casu...

Time since we learned jared kushner withheld and did not disclose his contact with russian officials during the transition. it will be interesting to see the senators probe him on that subject. i dont know how much he will be willing to give up on that. im actually interested less in what comey has to say than in what donald trumps response to comey is. a president who has shown very little ability to restrain himself when it comes to responding to comey. comey seems to push certain buttons with...

With a nuclear short range missile, even an easier to achieve short range missile, we are going to have to act. what ian is getting at is whether we do something bold like have the president of the united states sit down with jong-un and try to come up with an agreement or whether we end up having to take military action. we need to do something different. now, theres a lot of in between things that we can do there. theres covert operations. of course theres cyber. theres very aggressive kind of...

That we have really serious problems of institutional mistrust of the press, not from maybe a majority of the country, but certainly from a pretty large minority. and i think we have to deal with that. we have to recognize that a lot of whats coming out of the so-called mainstream media is mistrusted by a large segment of the country. weve got to deal with that problem. >> sure. >> because if we dont, then we are going to have two separate sets of facts that our political conversation operates u...

We went from leading from behind to america first today. this deal was initiated by barack obama, not the best dealmaker. i dont know if he wanted to knock america down or we got hoodwinked. it cost $3 trillion, it cost 6 million jobs. to what, hypothetically bring the temperature down a fraction of a percent in 100 years? they can continue to push coal, receive taxpayer money, and we cant do any of that. it doesnt make a lot of sense to me. spreading the wealth doesnt work. if it did, venezuela...

President trump would be very consistent with this campaign promise. i dont think this is a deal that anyone could be crying about. its nonbinding. the united states is already a clean energy, oil and gas leader. he can keep doing what hes doing. why would we in fact put ourselves at an economic disadvantage, giving a windfall to other countries, a climate redistribution of wealth? it makes no sense to me. i think he did the brave and courageous thing. i told him that this morning. when he calle...

If i can say something, don, i mean, i almost laugh at this stuff because it seems to me the media wakes up every morning thinking then history just started that morning when they opened their eyes. if i could take you back for a moment to 1979 when senator ted kennedy goes to the senator of california and asks him to personally go to the kgb, to ask the kgb to get in touch with moscow and let moscow know that kennedy will take a positive note on them going into afghanistan and invite russians t...

Well, guess what, that doesnt work. so in 1980, during the election, jimmy carter goes to armand hammer in the -- >> what are you saying in the interest of time? youre talking about back channel. >> the bottom line is, this is not the first time russia has tried or been involved in an election. it used to be where we knocked on their door and asked for their assistance to defeat at least jimmy carter and ronald reagan back in 1980. and everybodys treating this like this is new stuff. this is not...

The white house chief of staff is where it all comes from. you know, besides the president. and if that person is inkpet entertain itent incompetent its a mess. >> jimmy carter took him two and half years to realize he needed a chief. jerry ford, spokes of the wheel was a disaster. its exactly what donald trump is try to do right now and it doesnt work. >> what are you saying about the chief of staff. >> i think in the previous case, you know, its not previous fault. >> so how does anyone, chief...

Responsible for. so that keeps churning and washington doesnt work well. the fact that washington doesnt work well on his agenda means hes running out of time to get big ticket items done. so if no momentum on health care in the senate and there appears not to be, then that becomes a big promise thats unfulfilled and gets in the way of if you cant get that particular deal can you get a budget deal. and without that can you do meaningful tax reform. it all becomes a real problem and you have more...
