Election, trying to stop it from happening again. why is that such a significant lapse? >> well, its just really disappointing because there is a body, the national security council, and i served on it for four years, whose responsibility and mission it is to coordinate inner agency policy on a range of issues. what that means is there are several agencies -- the f burks ho -- fbi, homeland security -- that provide input to the policymaking process. the national security council under h.r. mcmas...

Policymaking process is totally broken and that we cant even make -- we cant even fund the government for the fiscal year that started months ago. and that means were shouting, we collectively, shouting at each other across this chasm of ideology and partisanship and not actually getting anything done. the congress isnt working on the big problems that face the country. they arent even working on a long-term budget or on how to handle technological change or how to handle an aging population. th...

Benefit of getting democrats and republicans in the same room together talking about issues, like immigration, like tax reform, like everything else that the administration has sought to accomplish going forward. you really see theres a good opportunity to engage in important dialogue like this when everybody is around the table. i do want to touch briefly on the access that was granted. it is important for white house reporters like myself to be able to witness something like that to see the pr...

Hopes senator graham can be a bull work and a firewall and not a yes, man. if you dont mind from quoting from your twitter feed, quote, "always entertaining and never boring." >> what is it that you are voting for? they have zero idea and none. every single gen x should be outrag outraged. the beggaring of the country for special interest donations is immoral. >> we are seeing total collapse of any rigger around the policymaking process in this country. we are a nation of 330 million

Rigor around the policymaking process in this country. were a nation of 330 million people. this legislation affects everybody. the number one economic challenge of our time thats driving so much turbulence in our politics, so much extremism in the parties is the fact that working class people havent seen a real wage increase in a generation. its creating a crisis of competence in free market american capitalism for millennials and so many other americans. and it can have a profoundly bad effect...

There is tremendous spirit and talent in the white house. dont believe the fake news. meanwhile, were learning more details about kellys efforts to crack down on the information the president sees on a daily basis. politico is reporting kelly initiated a new policymaking process in which just he and one other aid, white house staff secretary rob porter will review all documents that cross the desk. the new system is designed to ensure the president wont see any external policy documents, and int...

Thats run distinctly different than how the president wants it to be run. the question will be in the weeks ahead is president trump willing to have less chaos and more control and focus? this was a deliberate decision, first and foremost it will be reflected in the policymaking process of government. clearly general kelly from a military background and his service at the department of homeland security is focused on methodical process. planning and execution. you may remember, he was the first ...

It just doesnt exist. when you have the president of the united states come out and publicly endorse what really is kind of a crack pot theory he found on info wars, it leads people to believe, that unfortunately. i think this is whats going to happen over and over again in this administration, where you have the president say something irresponsible, something not true. the white house then scrambles for options to do something about it since they cant embarrass, it admit he made it up, so now ...

Thats probably good for our policymaking process because the u.s. is returning to the most consequential national security question here. is putin a movable actor? is he grabbing a finite amount of land regardless of what we do? is he deciding how much to invade in direct response to the wests action, or inaction? there are a lot of intelligence reports and security council meetings that basically boil back down to that question. its not like putin wants it to be crystal clear for us. he benefit...
