From the administration on the record texting reporters with an administration that hates leaks i think is significant, i think it shows that the way this whole thing is going down. >> and i have a feeling that what has been chaotic day will probably carry over into another chaotic week. hallie and carol, good luck finishing off this story tonight. thank you. let me turn now to ned price and danielle planca. and you worked in and around mr. bolton off and on. so i want you to talk about the ap...

Resignation which with was given to me this morning. i thank john for his service and i will be naming a new national security advisor next week. those disagreements are a laundry list of hot spots, iran, north korea and afghanistan. now, minutes after the president tweeted that, bolton responded. i offered to resign last night and president trump said lets talk about it tomorrow. and bolton just told our peter alexander he did sleep on it and resigned this morning saying that president never as...

Youre the national security adviser. it will boil down to who will stroke the presidents ego most effectively and most frequently. president trump doesnt care much for policy ideas. for intellect. he cares about how people sound. how people look. and i think most importantly, how they praise him both in public and in private. and that is something that we are learning that john bolton certainly didnt seem to do frequently enough. >> all right, hallie, andrea, ned, appreciate it. up next, democra...

Have experience in this realm, you cannot have principles, i believe, and at the same time bestow on the president the sort of regular praise that he is going to seek from whoever takes this role. >> ned, eli, carole, thanks to all of you for joining us for this breaking news. take a look at whats set up outside the white house and there you see it on the driveway. were waiting for hogan giddily to come out to the cameras. i can tell you that hogan giddily, according to hallie jackson -- here he...

Is stolen, you should by law report that to law enforcement. but the nra as an organization is against it. 90 plus percent of americans are for universal background checks as well. the president of the united states, the chief flip flopper seems right now to be against it. so i dont understand why we continue to have this debate about doing something as it relates to gun reform in america. and let me correct the narrative. its really not gun control. we also have the freedom of speech in the uni...

At is how do we actually figure out how to not take away their rights and at the same time prevent these moving forward. thats the great question, where do you draw the line. and i have to tell you im not sure i have the clearest answer at this point. that is the debate for the next 18 months. >> so as we wait for a clear answer on this front, is this something that the democrats are willing to wait for? >> no, i dont think so. and to neds point about mental illness, were already starting a ment...

48 hours or so? >> i think if you want to attack the former fbi director, who was the person who launched the entire investigation that came the mueller investigation, this report does give you a lot of fodder for that. it talks about how james comeys intentions behind the leaks of these memos were to create his own personal narrative. they counter this idea this was for the love of country and really say it had to do more with the love of his own image he was trying to save. theres a lot republ...
