President ford lost to president carter and then president carter loses to reagan. so we had five presidents in 20 years. there was an op-ed, loyd cutler, white house council for jimmy carter wrote a piece in "the washington post" saying the presidency was now too complicated for any one person and then along came ronald reagan. you can disagree with him, but he certainly proved that the office itself in the right hands could be a force for good. the speech that night remarkably 30 years ago, we...

Particular gathering with this . when the president of the united states says what he does, we are reminded that he used to be a businessman. how many times have you heard businessmen say "look, its nothing personal. its just business." as the president of the united states, hes looking out for our best interest economically, which is the foundation of his entire administration and everything he is run on. it is not distinctly economy by ignoring somebody who has been part of an important allian...

Space for this president, rendered a harsh verdict of the exclamation filled statement as well. we are aware of no president, not even such ruthless pragmatists as richard nixon or lyndon johnson who would have written a public statement like this without a grace note about americas abiding values and principle principles. ronald reagan pursued a hard-line against soviet communism, but he did so with a balance of unblinkered realism and american idealism. mr. trump seems incapable of such balanc...

Foreign policy with secretary mattis, h.r. mcmaster. as a national security advisor, how can you let this statement go out? you wouldnt. at least clean it up, put in a grace note about we deplore what happened -- >> exactly. >> clean up the grammer, exclamation points. does the president dictate a statement to his personal assistant and it just goes out to the world, the chief of staff, national security advisor, leave out the secretary of state. thats dangerous. of course, its just a statement,...

President, not even such ruthless pragmatists as johnson, who would have written a public statement like this, without so much of a grace note about americas abiding values and principles. ronald reagan especially pursued a hard line, often controversial foreign policy, against soviet communism. but he did so with a balance of unblinkered realism and american idealism. mr. trump seems incapable of such balance. the risk is that mr. trumps public reduction of the relationship to a crass interest ...

Shortly after, the field director told him that his candidate was democrat. the young field director was arrested. he was told apparently that he was being arrested for a 48-hour investigative detention. there were initial reports that he was arrested for not producing identification to a law enforcement officer. weve seen other reports that said he was arrested for suspicious behavior in a courthouse. a sheriffs captain told that to josh marshall, the editor at talking points memo today. but in...

The guy is out now, but heres like my sort of like the favorite little grace note for me in this whole story. after they arrested the congressional candidates field director, reportedly after confirming with him that he worked for a democratic campaign specifically, after they arrested him and they held him and then they finally let him out -- even afternoon they finally let him out, they kept his phone. he is the field director for the democratic congressional candidate in that district, and th...

Ledger. i can feel the intensity of what hes experienced over the last few weeks. but i could not understand how judge kavanaugh could say that he, quote, bore no ill will towards dr. ford then called her charges, quote, a calculated, orchestrated political hit. citing, quote, apparent pent-up anger about president trump and his 2016 election, and quote, revenge on behalf of the clintons. revenge on behalf of the clintons. this lock her up grace note in judge kavanaughs remarks may have raised a...

He hit every grace note. >> richard haase? >> he reminded people that foreign service a form of service. theres pride in all that. what is your sense in how mike pompeo ultimately works with the rest of this administration, jim mattis, john bolton. what do you see as the balance of power in the national security lineup? >> well, in fact, that is the biggest question not surprisingly you would hit on it because i think he will be an ally of jim mattis. but, there is a real question about john bol...

Would be doing it over a matter in which attorney general sessions actually took an action, namely, recusing himself from the russian investigation, as a matter of ethical principle and so i think on some level he knows that wouldnt go over very well with the american public. so instead hes engaged in this try to force him out, embarrass him who knows what? >> congressman, if sessions goes whether is shamed out, as you put it or whether the president directly fires him, does it concern you about...
