Of law. j.w. barrett, thank you so much for being with me. you have worked by this mans side, going from announcing so publicly this huge victory, this death of abu bakr al baghdadi and now to being booed. what do you think went through his mind that evening? >> he has a tendency to make everything by himself. thats his problem. great presidents have a way of uniting the country, of encouraging, of instilling personal loyalty through putting country first and i think the people are smart and the...

He said informant. there was more than one source according to the whistleblower complaint. he said it may have been adam schiff. that is not based on any sort of reality or any sort of reporting. what we know is that the whistleblower complaint which hews very closely with the discussion he had with the head of ukraine, this was informed by white house officials. gloria, j.w., was there anything else there? >> i think you covered it. he was clearly defensive on syria and the syria decision as w...

See a lot of republicans going out and mounting a really strong defense of, you know, this is why everything the president did was absolutely fine. and i think that he feels that lack of willingness to the part of a lot of republicans to go ahead and apologize for behavior that, a, many of them are not comfortable with, and b, many of them dont know where its going to end. you have these depositions that keep on going, this investigation is expanding, not ending any time soon, and a lot of them ...

White house letter form. >> wow. eight or nine-page tweet at that. j.w., we havent heard a lot from republican law mockers. specifically i look at lindsey graham. he says nothing to see here. do you sense there is a shift whichi whiching -- coming? we know clearly how you all feel at this point. >> i think theres been some movement and some bravery from folks like senator sass who have been willing to point to their discomfort with his actions. frankly i dont think it its time to hold the senate...

U.s. democratic -- and threaten our democracy. is this behavior that you believe has grown over time or do you thing this has been there? j.w.? >> i think its been there since the very beginning. in part because we know that the it -- i mean donald trump is not a very clever -- hes not very clever in his corruption. he uses the same playbook over and over. the playbook he used in the events leading up. not clear he was able to seal it deal. so thats why the messaging was messy. he thought he got...

Outrageous behavior and the behavior gets worse, you keep going and going and going. and before you know it, you no longer can condemn trump because you would be condemning yourself. i also think that trump has tapped into something about the gop base which is disturbing, which its a base that is filled with grievances and resentments. and he is its voice. >> yeah. >> and this is so fundamentally different, of course, than ronald reagan, but its in some ways a party thats antithetical to reagan ...

J.w., i want to bring you back in here. while were starting to see some republicans express concerns about president trumps conduct with ukraine, justin amash, adam kinzinger, mitt romney as mentioned are some of the folks that are doing it. then there is this from the house minority leader. watch this. >> president zelensky says, "we are almost ready to buy more javelins from the united states for defense purposes." and president trump replies, "i would like you to do us a favor, though." >> yo...

Toomey, romney have shown more courage and more willingness to challenge their president than nancy pelosi showed during the entire clinton administration. that is something, and that cannot be discounted. >> what do you say to that, peter? >> well, i think kevin mccarthy is weak and pathetic. its kind of disgraceful what youre seeing. the reason he ties himself in knots to defend trump is you can only defend trump if you tie yourself in knots. theres no way to defend him on the record. theres n...
