Came out here at this podium and mischaracterized the speech by a congresswoman given at an fbi building dedication. why wont the chief of staff or you right now acknowledge that that was a mischaracteration and correct the record? >> i dont believe that general kelly mischaracterized. he gave his account of what took place. general kelly and his family have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. i think hes led with honor and integrity. i think hes doing a great job as chief of staff and ...

>> sorry, dave. >> given those comments, cut the president believe there should be a loyalty test for republican senators? >> i think their loyalty should be to the american people and the agenda those people elected them to carry out. >> some people say that is where their loyalty lies. >> i hope well see that in their votes. sorry, hallie, ive got to move on. >> did the president have any announcement to devin nuness announcement that he is going to open an investigation into the obama adminis...

So thats all ill say. >> how does this end, senator? how does this end for president trump? because, i mean, i think that there are a lot of people out there who think that the nation cant take four to eight years of this, of the divisiveness and the mendacity and the indecency. if there are only 4 out of 52 republicans to say, look, i support conservative policies but lies are not conservative policies. trying to devalue the press, the judiciary, the legislative branch, not to mention the name-...

Ago, by his birtherism. i thought that that was an ugly conspiracy theory to foist on our previous president. and that was very unbecoming of anybody to put that forward. so, you know, and i was very critical years back of that. i just never warmed to him. i never considered myself a never trumper, i hoped that he would come around and make that pivot, but i could just never get there given the statements that he continued to make and continues to make. i just -- i dont think that its the best f...

Do you agree with that? do you think president trump is debasing the nation and those of your colleagues who are not standing up the way you and senator corker and mccain and collins are, do you think that they are also complicit in this? >> i can only speak for myself, and i dont think that we ought to normalize this kind of behavior. the president, you know, tweeting at people, at even foreign leaders, opposition figures, calling our democratic colleagues losers or clowns, these kinds of thing...

>> sarah, two quick questions for you. you talked about the presidents big policy initiatives, that will be how history judges him. obviously so far he has none that have made it through the legislative process on capitol hill. >> thats not true. neil gorsuch went through a legislative process. thats a big historical moment. something that has a lasting legacy, probably far beyond most any other individual piece of legislation is how the courts can shape and determine a lot of different things, ...

Tweet. and now to go and mock and belittle this senator, 1 of 52, that he needs 50 out of 52 to pass it, not a constructive act by the president at all. >> you mentioned mccain and mcconnell. jeff flake as well. lisa murkowski at one point. tim, bob corker, is he -- is he one man or does he represent a larger consensus among senate republicans? >> well, whether most senate republicans agree with him is a separate question from what theyre willing to say. mccain has come out critical of him, of t...

Point, that the best thing they can do is try to steer president trump in the right direction. to be ballast in the ship on these stormy seas. and then bob corker ultimately decided, no, this ships about to crash and there is nothing i can do and the captains not listening to me. >> yeah, well, i think they see exactly whats happening, which is hes not listening to them, and part of that is because of what jeff flake said about one of the reasons he cant run is really because of what the voters ...

This is one we found. he was pretending to be the tennessee republican party on twitter. it wasnt. it was retweeted by kellyanne conway, donald trump jr., the digital director of the trump campaign. and what they tweeted was, you know, the stuff that in the long term -- donald trump jr. tweeted something alleging voter fraud in florida at one point. but one of the scarier ones they would tweet about is how barack obama had a love child or hillary clinton had a love child or all of these things. ...

An outlier, if its close, you got a race down there. >> you do, mark halperin, most conservatives that i follow and respect, who are skeptical of trump are also skeptical of that poll. they dont believe it is that close. ill just say, it is a fox news poll and the fact that you have anything nearly that close is fascinating. will you have people looking at bam on election night and a lot of people looking obviously in virginia, too, which had a poll out that had eddie dplespy up by one point. th...
