Graiting and insulting not only to her but the people that voted for him so say, i went to an ivy league school. im so smart and reminds me of the other week telling rex tillerson, you know, lets go head to head on an iq contest after hearing that rex tillerson privately called him a moron. the problem here is when someone is so self obsessed, when the job he has is to take care of the american nation, the democracy and the american people, its incredibly disturbing that someone would be so focu...

A scalp. then we hear trump sees it as a victory. is this the way were going on these two tracks until otherwise noted? >> i think it might be. and the reason for that is if you look at what the three senators, republican senators who have come out against trump have in common, john mccain, jeff flake of arizona, and corker of tennessee, they all three have nothing to lose. mccain is not up for reelection for another five years from now. hes battling a critical illness. he may not face reelectio...

When he gets hit, hes going to hit back and i think senator corker knows that and hes maybe trying to get a headline or two on his way out the door. >> because the secret to life is timing, all of this came on the day of the gop unity lunch on capitol hill. just as the president was under attack from two sitting senators, three if you include john mccains comments this week, quoting the post again, quote, at the closed door lunch trump received a standing ovation from republican senators. yet fo...

Well, phil, where does this rank in the 278 days weve been at this? where will this day go down in the history of the trump administration in your view? >> well, it was an extraordinary day in washington and this will be one of historys moments that we remember from this trump era because senator flake did not just attack the president in sort of the tit for tat were used to in political campaigns. this was a searing indictment of his character and his office. this was not a policy disagreement....

>> well, it was an extraordinary day in washington, and this will be one of historys moments that we remember from this trump era because senator flake did not just attack the president in sort of the tit for tat were used to in political campaigns. this was a searing indictment of the presidents character, of his fitness for office, of his temperament. this was not a policy disagreement. it was not a personal feud. it was much bigger than that. what flake delivered from the floor of the senate ...

By senator corker. and what i think is going to be remembered as an historic speech by jeff flake, who now is liberated. look, the republican party has not changed, has not turned on donald trump and you really wont see that until people who still are running for re-election are going to be around. you are seeing this drip, drip, drip, the willingness now to come out and say the things in public that everyone is saying in private, but elis point is i think important. irony is dead. irony has bee...

Speaking about himself, his career in the senate was probably over anyway. he was speaking to his colleagues and really imploring them not to hide behind bob corker or him but to speak out more and to think about what they want the republican party to be. and in that sense, i thought that speech was pretty extraordina extraordinary. >> i agree with you, eli, let me bring you into this, i have also heard that some of the luster has come off of general kelly. it was pointed out to me over the week...

The father said. well, he offered the money -- i dont know if that was right -- then the money didnt come nor did the money fund-raising operation. anyway, a white house spokesperson sporesponded that check has been sent. its disgusting that the media is taking something that should be recognized as a genuine and sincere gesture made privately by the president and using it to advance the medias -- there we go again. eli, how do we straighten out another kettle of fish. it strikes me as crass to ...
