People in the white house telling him that in regards to stop tweeting about russia. tweet about what you plan to accomplish on your foreign trip. this is an important trip for us to establish our leadership in the world and build our relationships with leaders and reaffirm our unity with allies abroad. >> i mean, hes 70 years old. is he going to change? >> sweet heart, ive got a little experience with men, let me tell you. you really dont change men after 15. no matter what you do, you dont cha...

Because he keeps making this all about him and not about the people hes serving. >> good point. it is about the safety of the united states. matt lewis, to the statement of reckless, david brooks wrote a blistering op ed, a scathing op ed this morning. i want you to read one line here. he basically said the president is an infant. he said, there are three tasks that most mature adults have figured out by the age of 25. trump has mastered none of them. lack of self-control his leitmotif. >> there...

All right. this latest self-imposed and perhaps most egregious error by the president is sparking all kinds of questions about competence. was his inability to protect highly classified information with russian diplomats a sign that hes not up to the job. theres a "new yrk times" op-ed you should read for your self from david brooks. the headline is this, when the world is led by a child. it says, quote, from all we know so far trump didnt do it, talking about the classified information, because...

As nefarious as people think in terms of the russia angle. it could simply be that donald trump has a fragile ego, demands absolute loyalty, and has no impulse control. and frankly, you could argue thats more dangerous in a president than the notion that they were coordinating with the russians in advance of the election. >> if it is dangerous in either case, matt, is it dangerous enough that republicans on capitol hill will step in and say, enough? do they feel like its time to say enough? >> w...

Again -- >> im not pulling no crap, sir. >> i will bury you so far back in there you wont even be able to get mail. you think im bluffing, you be stupid enough to call my bluff. >> i do not, sir. >> are you tracking me loud and clear? >> i hear you, sir. >> by all rights you should not even be out of the unit. dont blow it. >> im not going to blow it, sir. >> my last visit with mr. gonzalez, he was genuine in his remorse of what he had done. do i ever think hes going to do it again? i highly dou...

Strategy. what he said to the "financial times" sounded like a series of tweets. this is what happens with a president who obviously has no impulse control thinking he can govern in 140 characters or less. >> theres a sound bite for you. >> okay then. a sound bite and reality bites. there we go. all right. my goodness, we got to move forward. "nbc nightly news" is going to have much more on the growing threat from north korea. our own lester holt will anchor live in south korea tonight. but were...

Reagan wasnt effecfixating thih on jimmy carter. this is a president who cannot quit the past because of impulse control. and hillary clinton wading back in the conversation is interesting. she is enormously popular with the base. the presidents popularity is one-third. she is starting to come out among past failed nominees really telling people to mobilize against the administration. she is more popular than failed nominees in the past. she has more clout within the democratic party. >> donald ...

And allowing the long knives to come out, i think he puts his entire agenda at risk unless somehow in some alternative universe chuck schumer is going to come forward and say lets work together, lets pass this huge infrastructure bill which will further tear apart the republican majority, will further tear apart conservative support. so im not sure that youre seeing as much of a strategy as youre seeing t presidents lack of impulse control, lash out at people who didnt bow the knee. >> first of ...

Out on twitter or the claims he makes. >> you know what, its not a farfetched suggestion. not for sean spicer to other people they put out on tv. every time you ignore something you empower it and every time you give an answer that wishy washy at best you hurt your own credibility and then comes the other factor. why did they do that? it distracted from the main conversation. now he comes in front of the senate judiciary committee and hes going to say whether or not he is looking at what really ...
