don t ground their arguments in facts. i agree with that. i think you have to pick and choose the issues frankly chuck. i don t want to get into a media debate. but that echo chamber i agree with you, don t blame the voters. right. but that s the issue here. we are not we have people intentionally not agreeing on the same set of facts. you can t have a false equivalentsy about facts. either there is a law that forces those kids to be separated or there isn t. it s not my opinion. there is a brouhaha right now that trump is separating families. it is true. but in the obama administration we had administration of families. i didn t see the people complaining. there were come plants. luis gutierrez was. there were protests. that s when people were charged with real crimes. no, no, no anybody that entered illegally. father was separated from mother and child. that happened and i didn t see
trump, was very effusive in his praise for president obama. have you spoken to the former president about these allegations? i have not spoken with him, no, about these allegations. i think if you are him and you are sitting and i have spoken to a number of people who still work for him. but i would say that this is something that you most people should be having a collective eye roll to. there is no basis in them. the problem is that there is a false equivalentsy between the calling for investigations, and it is a confusing storyline right now for a lot of people. on that point, mike rogers, do you think this is intentionally confusing, trying to kick up dust so that people don t really know they hear about investigatesing and wiretapping, what s going on? well, it gets back to what my mother told me, nothing good happens about 3:00 in the morning. maybe he should be sleeping at that point. listen, it s clear that there is no way that the president of the
