Page 4 - Dont Fire News Today

End, with the drinking and one thing and another. and he did -- you know, he did become unhinged. he was -- he was a dangerous situation. and it was really important for the secretary of defense to tell the armed services chiefs, dont fire anything if he orders you. call -- youve got to call me first. weve never been through anything like that before. so i dont think there are any precedents, but what i do think is that the longer the president keeps tweeting about this anonymous and the search ...

Koreans sent a back channel message that they would interpret it as the u.s. was about to attack, which if true sounds like the president was dangerously close to inciting a conflict. >> if all of that is true, he was. i was doing some reflection on this, and other than popping off t lamps in the north sea in the direction of north korea, its hard for me to see anything that the north koreans would view as imminent hostilities, and since they werent planning to initiate them, they would only ass...

There are lots of crimes there, right, you could be a spy, espionage, leaking classified information. but what the op-ed writer is doing what he or she says theyre doing, then theres no crime there. >> but the kind of public red alert by somebody currently working for president trump, is there any precedent for that? >> none of which im aware. there were rumors -- a lot of people in washington were gossiping towards nixon towards the end, the drinking and one thing or another. and he did become ...

The head. >> yeah, well, and again, i wouldnt even use that metaphor, but simply say, if im in that position, i think a good commander, a good commander in chief says, have i done anything? am i doing anything? is my staff doing anything that creates this kind of low-level rebellion within people whom i think are essential personnel in my unit? now, look, i think this is a low-probability shot, anderson. im not holding my breath, but anyone looking at this objectively, in addition to the investi...

Sunday, it was just over hurricane strength. and today, it was a category 4 storm. so it went from, you know, a tropical storm to a major hurricane in a matter of 72 hours. so it has -- its what they call rapid intensification. so this storm has really got its act together and is just a heck of a storm out there. >> can -- you know, i talked to our meteorologist earlier who was saying, you know, its a cat 4 now. he wasnt sure its going to be able to sustain this, you know,. it might kind of fall...

It is one thing for the president of the united states to say, assassinate assad and then mattis to say, okay and then hang up the phone and ignore him. another thing to go over there and say, mr. president, you cant do that. thats illegal. this would happen and that would happen. it seems you have people who are just brushing his orders aside. while we celebrate that in the age of trump, it sets a very dangerous precedent for, lets say, the 46th president or 47th president who tells the militar...

Said out loud he expects to be chandl charged sometime or indicted in the next few days or weeks. phil rucker, lets finish with you. put a cap on this polling we saw. 60% of americans according to the "washington post" poll say they disapprove of the presidents job performance. 59% of independents disapprove and the majority support, 63% for the mueller investigation, 64% of americans say, dont fire jeff sessions. and again, only 18% of americans say the president should consider a pardon of pau...

Time around? >> my guess is its because the president has kind of changed the -- normally the presidents attacks on jeff sessions has been he should have recused himself and he didnt, which is something the president said again today on fox. this time, he brought something new to the party, saying jeff sessions has never had control of the justice department and i think perhaps that was an especially sore point and thats why he decided to pushback. now, also, its very interesting, in terms of wh...

He helps himself by some of his tweets. but under no circumstances put yourself in a position where you can be charged with perjury or lying to a federal official. and if he doesnt believe me, he should make two phone calls, one to martha stewart, who went to jail because of what she said after prosecutors, and the other to bill clinton, who was impeached because of what he said in an interview under oath. and so i think every responsible lawyer would say to him, you should not either testify or...
