Know we dont know what was said, we dont know what was covered in that 28-minute or so meeting but we do have more information on the gifts that were exchanged and the meanings behind them. >> i think the symbolism of the gifts is interesting but i have to say since we know that president trump doesnt really like to get his information by reading i think the chances of him reading any of those encyclicals written in vatican prose are fairly slim. so i hope pope francis was able to get his messag...

The difference between citizen trump and president trump who was enormous. 2013 when bashar al-assad launched his first major poison gas attack on his own people, donald trump was repeatedly and vehemently against any action against syria. thats when barack obama was president. what changed? lets see. it was a crime against humanity in 2013, it was a crime against humanity week or so ago. >> bill: let me reply to that analysis. from my reading of the tweets and your basing that on the tweet stuf...

Skin, its been well hidden. i do agree with the essential point that there are three branches of government. this is not the justice that will be donald trumps justice. he will get credit for appointing him, but he will be an independent person. just to respond to the kabuki theater idea conspiracy, the reality is, there doesnt need to be kabuki theater. there is no plot. if there is nothing the democrats can do to stop judge gorsuch. unless their opposition come out with information that he is ...

Right into their nest. but for the nation, for the good of the people, the people want donald trump to succeed as president. injecting himself into speculation is -- its a waste of his time and a waste of the countrys time. wouldnt you agree. how about this speculation that you could have mentioned in your talking points but you didnt. donald trump recently said that why should we believe the cia on this hacking story when they got 9/11 wrong? well, if the cia said something that barack obama di...

Trump plan would take it to 111%. in fairness of both guys, they will propose spending cuts to bring those ratios down but havent done it yet. were talking 5.5 trillion with a t tax cuts that trump proposed of which only about 20% go to people below the absolute top of the economic -- >> what do you think really happens? do you think they pass those big tax cuts? >> i do. they can pass that stuff with 51 votes in the senate through reconciliation. this is exactly how the bush tax cuts were passe...

Something thats devastating that happens. they dont want to talk about it. i understand hes running for president and therefore, i guess its fair game. it might be that they just dont want to talk about it because its deeply personal. anybody? >> thats probably human nature there. at the same time he played the clip coming in. biography is such an essential point. hes making his life story and family story such an essential part of his campaign. at that point people are going to take a look at y...

Area. this is the essential point. even her strongest advocates would concede the point that it was a mistake to use a private e-mail and private server exclusively for her public business. what her political opponents are trying to do is turn a mistake into a crime. and i think it is very, very farfetched to argue that this is a kind of a crime or scandal the way her political opponents want to. >> let me speak to that. we all remember famously, ill show the short clip, 1998, heres what hillary...
