With him. i was in meetings where he had differences about policies with respect to taking military options off the table in iran. he doesnt quit over mere policy differences. he quits when the national security interests of the united states are in peril. hes a patriot. thats the mode that he wrote that letter in. >> let me pause this conversation and let you take a listen here. ive got republican senator james lankford from oklahoma here. by the way, we are awaiting mitch mcconnell and chuck s...

The withdrawal from syria is only part of this. all of this actually demonstrates a kind of keen kinship at the very least with russias interests. it is not in our interests. it is in russia interest. and i think the thing we should focus on is we had a secretary of defense write a letter, in which he did not say very many positive things about donald trump, and did say that the president of the united states was not taking our adversaries seriously and did not have a keen understanding of malig...

Field. i think he is probably dismayed with what were seeing inside the media. now, regarding policy difference -- >> wait a second. what about coming from people in the foreign policy, national security world who have serious concerns as well as republican lawmakers. do you think he would be shoving those away too? >> what i say to all of those people is i know you have policy differences but if were pulling out from syria, are you prepared to send your sons and daughters in there to take mare ...

I didnt mean to interrupt you. this petty nonsense by the anti-trump tds machine? do you think this makes the liberals look more foolish and the elites than their targets? >> yes. i do. and i think you are absolutely right. this is an objectively beautiful picture. it has nothing to do with politics. but i think it goes to show that the hatred of the trumps really was never about politics. its about something that is very personal. thats why the attacks towards melania trump really have nothing ...

This is a beautiful picture. ins see nothing wrong with it petty nonsense. i didnt mean to interrupt you. this petty nonsense by the anti-trump tds machine? mdo you think this makes the liberals look more foolish and the elites than their targets? >> yes.et i do. and i y think you are absolutely right. this is an objectively beautiful picture. it has nothing to do with politics. but i think it goes to show that the hatred of the trumps really was never about politics. its about something that is...

Requiem for an age in american politics when the public had a lot more faith in institutions and leaders to serve them. and in some ways, its fitting that ceremony where president trump in some sense, the result of that loss of faith. he is, in some sense, the result of our leaders and our elites failure to deliver for most of the american people. >> or just the perception that thats the case. you look at the candidacies of mitt romney and paul ryan, where the republican brand was in the hands o...

Will to try to work with whites and blacks if theyre elected. i dont have any doubt about that for mike espy, and i dont have any doubt about that for cindy hyde-smith. >> let me ask you before i let you go, henry, why do you think there are those inside the republican party, inside the gop, who seem to have had a difficult time calling out hyde-smiths comments as racist? >> well, i dont think she intended them as racist. i thinker her intent, and what you heard the governor talk about, her hear...

I dont doubt she had no ill intent in her statement but she should have apologized immediately and she should have apologized certainly more strongly, in my opinion. that -- >> go ahead. >> go ahead, hallie. >> i was going to ask do you think those comments could end up costing her her seat? >> well, it has -- it certainly energized african-american voters in mississippi, and i think its not been helpful. but i think at the end of the day, theres a clear choice in this raise for voters who want ...

That of the president should occupy that kind of position. i mean, you know, i used to have problems with some of obamas policies. i disagreed with the iran deal, one thing or another, but i never had trouble respecting obama as a man or thinking of him as a really fitting symbol for the country in the idea of the president occupying not just the position of head of government, but head of state, almost analogous to queen elizabeth in england. so my differences with whether it was president obam...

Reflection of the administration? >> it seems to be a reflection of the administration. according to recent polling, president trump has 10% approval rating in france. president obama had dramatically higher numbers than that, so it seems like french perceptions of the united states have gone down, and there are a lot of policy differences. the macron trump meeting earlier i hope touched on those, whether it be iran policy or climate change or any number of issues we still have so much distance ...
