Press document. so thats the difference. >> sarah. >> i wanted to bring up some unfinished business. when you were named press secretary because there was so much focus on the other announcement that you only had pay chance to talk about the job in one question. so i wanted to give you a chance to answer two questions that all of your predecessors have faced. the first one is what is your overall approach to the job especially in terms of whether youre balancing serking the president. >> ill tak...

Pretty strong signal to the russians that at least the vice presidents office very much objects to their behavior. >> the president went to poland, too, before he met with the g20. the president is clearly involved in this geographic boxing in as well. it does seem deliberate. >> general, lets talk about north korea. it just seems to get worse and worse. the news just seems to get worse and worse. theres never any glimmer that north korea was listening or going to change or cowed at all by the i...

Speakers. you may not remember every word, but you remember the fact that person came and spoke to you. the bigger issue is the president came and they cheered him and they cheered him loudly. >> i will say, though, i dont remember who didnt come or who rejected coming to my college to speak. i do take it as a positive thing. >> i remember a good address from a president that didnt serve out his term. i mean, what a jackass you have to be to speak to the boy scouts like this. here you are all am...

To try to crack down there to pursue investigations against people like that, that is a really dangerous precedent that i hope most americans can agree is something we should not support. >> the anthony scaramucci line to chris that leakers are insecure and underconfident and that his job would be to make sure people need to be more confident and more secure, i mean thats -- obviously a gross generalization of why people leak information and hugely o r oversimplistic. >> my point is that the adm...

A single party line vote in the armed services committee on an amendment, and then we passed the bill out nunanimously. thats the way the process can work and mccain knows it can work that way. >> senator angus king thank you for being on the show, jeremy bash thank you as well. coming up, senator chris murphy called last nights vote to start the debate a obamacare repeal a "gut punch" and prepared to punch back with 100 amendments. senator murphy joins us next. >> the most revered members of ...

Efficient parts of government. he kind of knows thats supposed to be there but his ultimate i think contempt for any norms that have bound himself predecessors to reality and his unrelenting self-regard just prevented him from in any way occupying the office that anyone will look back on and say, hey, why didnt we ever think of that before? and it could have been different. again, one of the tragedies here is it was probably worth sending an unconventional person into the office, its just univer...

Service of our predecessors who possessed its come to mind when i hear the senate referred to as the worlds greatest deliberative body. im not sure we can claim that distinction with a straight face today. im sure it wasnt always deserved in previous eras either. but im sure these -- there have been times when it was, and i was privileged to witness some of those occasions. our deliberations today, not just our debates, but the exercise of all of our responsibilities, authorizing government poli...

In conflict, they held different views on the issues of the day and had serious disagreements on how best to serve the national interests. they now however sharp and heartfelt their disputes, however keen their ambitions, they had an obligation to work collaboratively to ensure the senate discharged its constitutional responsibilities effectively. our responsibilities are important, vitally important to the continued success of our republic. and our arcane rules and customs are intended to requi...

And, look, leak ares happen in every administration. this president is new to government in the sense that hes never served before in any position, so hes new to the idea of not being able to control the flow of information. president obama prosecuted more leakers of classified information than any of his predecessors, so its always a problem. this particular administration is simply struggling, i think, to cope and address how to accommodate and resolve this issue of the leaks and also how much...
