President trump, as he feels fewer and fewer options. and as his spin about these very damaging facts becomes more and more unbelievable. hes asking us, essentially, to believe that a crime is not a crime, because he says that it isnt. and even, i think, very pro-trump people may find that hard to swallow. there was just the manafort hold juror was apparently a lone woman. but the woman who came out and spoke for the manafort jury was a very pro-trump voter who said nonetheless she was persuaded...

>> tucker: slow down. if you would, please stop with the invective and explained to me, begin slowly why given the fact set that i just presented to you and i think we can agree thats true thats spying. under what circumstances that not spying? >> the speaker of the red states of representatives look at that -- include in the classified information which i have not seen. >> tucker: youve already said that. i understand, you just confirmed that whatever republican leaders say you believe. its odd...

>> right, hes coloring outside the lines to use another trite idiom here. i think talking about some of these other things it does undermine the points hes trying to make related to the legal case a little bit. what were seeing on the whole is a political response to a criminal investigation. and why do you do that? maybe because they dont have a great fact set. but its also thing in a country that is this divided when were in an age of almost absolute tribalism, it is a response that might make...

Imminediumat my impression from being around the president, talking to people in the west wing is that hes fairly happy or happier with the staff overall compared to maybe how he felt a few months ago with certain cabinet members and west wing staff. i will say on this issue, this is the second day that josh doss sarah sandand others in the fioohave as well i think people who watch those briefings can ep back and objectively take away that she cannot answer a simple question about whether a stat...

Dossey put that question to sarah sanders and others in the briefing room have as well. i think people who watch those briefings can step back and objectiv ca awer a simple question abt her a statement that she made months ago that has since been contradicted by the presidentside atrneys is accurate, whether or not this xpayer funded spokesperson who speaks for the president at the white house is telling the truth. thats an essential question about her credibility. and yet because were living th...

He announced that to the american public today. >> yeah. i think we need a sober realistic assessment of whats going on. as president, if hes in possession of that fact set, i think he has an obligation to the american public to deploy it so we can all think about it, but the united nations, inspectors our allies, our own intelligence agencies to my knowledge, believe that iran is in compliance with the deal. so my belief is that the president has a new fact set. lets here about it. i think its ...

Hezbollahs main arms dealer was nabbed by an eastern european government. the united states could have extradited him but didnt because it didnt want to quell the deal. >> it says they didnt put sufficient pressure on. as a factual matter the u.s. condemned the czech republic for not releasing this guy. >> tucker: we condemn lots of things. the guy is back in beirut selling arms. >> to somehow attribute that to barack obama because thek czech republic held a guy they wouldnt release to the unite...
