>> thats absolutely right. there is an extra layer of bizarreness, for lack of a better word. in 2013 when we went through the shut down, you had the feeling like the players were responding rationally to what was happening in the world around them. if republicans endured days of terrible press stories, you could count on the fact that they would respond accordingly and that would weaken their position. republicans have endured close to two weeks of terrible stories and it hasnt changed their re...

Was in iraq, said hes a good buyer of military equipment, and he wants a good buyer because hes giving a lot to the military. can you make sense of that statement and whether thats -- i just dont know how to interpret that. >> well, its another impulsive act by the president of the united states to essentially fire mattis and then to tell him to get out of the pentagon in a week because he didnt like the positive press coverage coming from mattis resignation letter. i think in the short run, we ...

The shutdown. thats implausible, it cant be true. he said that he personally awarded a contract to build 150 miles of wall. theres no mechanism for the president to award contracts at all. he says were building the wall as we are negotiating. theres no new wall thats being built. he remarkably says that saudi arabia has agreed to pay for -- to rebuild syria, which will run into the 300, 400 billion dollars. we have no -- we have no confirmation from saudi arabia that thats, in fact, going to hap...
