Political editor of town hall.com and opinion editor of the washington times. both are fox news contributors and it is great to see you both. thank you very much for joining us. >> good morning. >> your reaction, guy, to whats going on? >> well, look, i understand the presidents frustration. i think hes channelling the frustration of a lot of conservative voters who said there were 7 years of promises on obama care. the senate republicans couldnt get that across the finish line and he wants to m...

Conservative values and you hav my called rhinos, republicans i name only and senator murkowski and senator john mccain represent three senators that are rhinos. they are not there to represent the interest of the american people in the american people have figured that out. im not sure what they claim that reason is for voting against the skinny repeal. we know it wasnt as big and grand as many of us were like, but at least it wouldve been a big step in the right direction following but the hou...

Protocol by firing 755 diplomats, there is more that can be done but we can never get there as long as we create this special space for donald trump. >> but also -- >> but it is -- [ multiple speakers ] >> if it was sarcasm, today he had yet another opportunity to condemn the act. >> but it is the day after -- or he said that and then the white house described it as sarcasm. they do announce that they are going to come up with a policy on september 1st of how to respond to what vladimir putin di...

Essentially democrats. i dont think theyre going to be able to come together on anything. i dont see it happening, no matter how much time they have. theyve resorted to blaming each other which is a great use of my tax dollars, im so glad im paying these people. hoor ray. >> pete: the moderates have been unhelpful. collins, murkowski, mccain, voting it down. cruz, paul, lee, rubio has come to play the freedom caucus in the house. where does the blame lay? can mitch mcconnell ever get it done? >>...

Your whole agenda done. mitch mcconnell is safe. he can get re-elected there again if he wants to. if you run these primary challenge, yeah, you might beat them in a primary. as we saw in indiana in 2012, you have an ugly primary, guess what you have? a general election loss. >> mitch mcconnell dragged a lot of people over the finish line. mike lee, rand paul, ted cruz. >> yep. >> rob portman. he did all that. it was burkowski and mccain ultimately that bucked him. >> murkowski was the one the p...

Garland. but whatever. the only important accomplishment trump has is because of mitch mcconnells insider expertise of the senate. theyre going to -- hes going to need mitch to get him a budget, to get him a debt deal, and yet he has to attack these guys, ryan and mcconnell especially. >> the week before he was attacking murkowski. hes -- you know, his people, his trump world has advertised against heller in a swing state in nevada. they are raising money in a primary against flake in a swing st...

Rally crowd and he slammed senator lee is a murkowski, so just another day at the office for the president. anything you can glean there that he knew contemporaneously such a big thing had gone down? >> clearly, its interesting i think sam mentioned earlier how long this had gone on we didnt know about. clearly he would have heard about it at some point, and this is exactly what he didnt want to happen. he said all along, he didnt want the investigation, and he wanted it to stick with the russia...

Board with, is to lay out a game plan through the august recess of what we want to try to accomplish. and for myself, i intend to stick to the plan. brian: isnt part of the plan for them to execute and not let the president, who is doing this for the first time, get in the way. the president behind the scenes was picking up the phone. he got people like ben sass and jeff flake and rand paul was a definite no. he flipped a lot of them he fell short when murkowski and collins wouldnt budge and mcc...

Wrongdoing around the president. muellers investigation extends to the president and the number of senior aides around the president, and the conduct of the campaign going back to business dealings, and anything that manafort knows. if they have something on him, which they have probable cause for, that should be troubling to anyone who might have something that paul manafort might know about. >> anita, another phrase courtroom lawyers love, is state of mind, and we looked into the presidents st...
