Throw -- im not here to out sources who dont want to be outed. and gary is not the only person who knew that donald trump wanted his children to go back to new york. as well as john kelly, there are several other sources who have direct knowledge of the fact that donald trump said quite often not just then but he did say it just then, it came in waves. i say that in the book. it would be better for jared and ivanka if they were back in new york. >> all right. so lets get into the book. for me, t...

Ludicrous response. >> no response at all? >> yes. so i think its garbage. >> gary cohen, who again is mentioned frequently in the book has come out since this and said he is still friends with jared kushner. >> yes, but he also has not said that anything ive reported is wrong. nobody has said that anybody ive reported is wrong. i had a team of seven fact checkers with me. i interviewed 220 different people, 118 of them multiple times. all of the scenes in the book have got multiple sources. you...

Ivanka wrongly as moderating influences on the president. they give moderating influences bad news. but no one likes nepotism across the spectrum. and the base thinks the centrists whispering in his ear, making him do things, there is suspicion across the board. this is not just rejection of the new york society types and washington types of these two. >> its much more sinister than that because its all about the money and lack of transparency. you said they went for their own reasons. their own...

Brew? >> mark felt they were the presidents greatest vulnerability. he came to the view that the presidents legal teams fell apart all because of ivanka. hes like what are we doing here? he wanted to be loyal to trump and he felt after a large number of the republicans interviewed for the book, that jared and ivanka are actually going to be the presidents undoing. in your last segment, you sort of rightly talked about the presidents sort of visible, irrationable, radical behavior and jared and i...

They got all the negative press about using private e-mail servers. you know, gets -- then theyll do go and do something helpful and he drops the subject for a while. but the interesting thing is, that john kelly did what he was asked. he made life really unpleasant for jared and ivanka. they sort of -- they were ready to leave, and it was trump who couldnt pull the trigger. and i think his supporters actually believed that sort of he needs to fire them to save his president. >> i there are so m...

Jared had the firing of james comey to try to save his own skin, because reports were just coming out that he had not mentioned his meetings with the russians during the transition or security clearance. he had a very impassioned meeting with trump, with bannon, a lot of other people in which he said you have to fire comey. he wasnt just supportive of the president, he was leading it and there was a reason he was leading it. i think hes far from solving middle east peace. he nearly pressed into ...

Justice reform. >> yes. >> where our van jones who talked to jared all the time said that he was key. >> yes. >> if not for jared this wouldnt have happened. >> and i say that, i give him credit for that absolutely in the book for the crediting justice reform bill getting that through congress. my admiration, though, is tempered and forgive me my cynicism, because of the obvious self-interest. that is all about his father. so whilst i think its wonderful that he did that, again, its all about ja...

Mochrie of the whole idea, makes a mochrie of jared in a way, because this blockade takes place, because mbs real motive, he wants -- qatar is richer than saudi arabia, he wants money. but thats our security. >> yes, we have bases there. an air base there. >> exactly. >> its a remarkable book, vicky ward is the author of kushner inc., greed, ambition and corruption. president trump won the presidency people felt the american success story was leaving them behind. one of the wealthiest banks in...

Basically, taking rex tillersons portfolio out of his hands particularly in the middle east, his complete control of the relationship with mbs in saudi arabia meant that he kind of got played by mbs. he pushed for trump to hold this -- the first official american visit was not to a country with shared democratic values but to the kingdom of saudi arabia. its brutal regime. the theme of the summit was all about cooperation. days later, the saudis made a mockery of the united states by turning aro...

Make the first official visit, not to a country with shared democratic values, but to saudi arabia, conducting -- >> not to canada, not to mexico. >> with mbs as you mentioned earlier, had a track record that really worried rex tillerson and jim mattis. people who knew about saudi arabia and what was going on in yemen, et cetera. they have this summit, its all about cooperation, days after the summit ends, mbs makes a mochrie of the whole idea, makes a mochrie of jared in a way, because this blo...
