Phases of both of those. and so to have a score or cost when we dont have those formalized yet. afternoon i think we are in the beginning phases of having those discussions with both stake holders and members of congress on both sides and obviously internally the formulation of those plans is continuing. so, until that happens i dont see it having a formal cost or a score. >> cbo now? >> its not a question of trust. remember, i want to be clear about what i said before. i think when it comes to ...

Had direct contact with isis. >> exactly right. they used the exact same formulation for the orlando attacks, the san bernardino attacks, the nice attacks. no contact whatsoever between the attackers in those cases and isis. this may merely be inspired by isis, may not necessarily be any contact. what weve seen in europe over the last couple years, 38 plots related to isis. out of those 38 plots since 2014, only six have merely been inspired. all the other ones have been directed in person by is...

Hes great. good salesman. hard sell on. riffing and having fun. 30 or 40 minutes going over all the issues in the world. >> do you think thats going to work with your colleagues? >> president trump is personable. had a good rapport but at some point, no matter how good of a salesman you have, you have to have a good product. this is not a good product. i dont think that the white house participated in the for formulation of this policy to large degree. i think it was house republican leadership ...

Discussing the presidents meetings, watch that and lets discuss it. >> president trump was here to do what he does best, and that is to close the deal. >> oh, yeah, i mean, hes great, a good salesman, he put the hard sell on, he was riffing and having fun, carried out about 30, 40 minutes going over all the issues in the world. >> do you think thats going to work with some of your colleagues? >> well, president trump, he was very personable. we had a good relationship, a good rapport inside the ...

>> you have secretary tillerson talking about all options on the table. when someone says that, we immediately think military option. what does a military option look like? >> we dont really have one. and were not going to use one. thats standard formulation when dealing with north korea. we have said that in the past, well say it in the future. theres 25 million people who live and sold from the militarized zone which separates the two koreas. north korea, there would be numerous casualties in ...

>> its a formulation i find awfully narrow. the united states leads in the world, is active in the world, not as a form of charity or philanthropy but as we learn the hard way it makes the united states safer. an unstable world will hurt us and undermine our own security. it seems a little bit narrow. it also sends the mlk to everybody else were not any necessarily there for them and that might mean the allies decide they have to defer to powerful neighbors. >> in this direction with the world v...

Heads up before we blindside his agency. >> then kelly essentially having to go out and take the blame for some of it in those days following all of this -- the disruptions at the airport, the protests at the airport. republicans are trying to have it kind of the formulation about dont pay attention to what president trump says. pay attention to what he does. oftentimes its the same thing. i mean, a president often is what he says, and sending a messable around the world on any number of things,...

The president says. pay attention to what he does which seems to be a very odd formulation because what the president says and does are often the same thing. >> yeah. its interesting how they are trying to balance this. i had a chance to ask mitch mcconnell this at his press conference on friday specifically about whether or not he was concerned about his tweets and the things he said at his press conference and he said, well, im not a fan of the daily tweets. i could do without, quote, the extr...
