Go south very quickly. im sure its contributing a lot to that. >> im sure the problem is you wake up in the morning. you see what hes tweeted. it may not be the thing you talked about before. it may set the day in a totally different direction from the one you wanted or the one you planned on. and the unpredictability of the presidents views are also something that i think probably wrangles anybody who tries to work with him on particular issues. im sure kelly is one of those people who has had ...

Is "american national security in an age of lies." >> yeah. >> how does intelligence adapt to this age that were in? >> its really hard. so weve seen a pattern from the white house of saying things that intelligence just cant back up, and im being kind here, so you try to convince the president in closed sessions with regard to what you believe objective reality is. its not so much that youre not winning the argument in the process. its that the decisions seem to be separated from the process. >...

Different direction from the one you wanted or you had planned on and the unpredictability of the presidents views are also something that i think probably rankles anybody who tries to work with him on particular issues. and i am sure kelly is one of those people who has had that kind of a problem. >> and as the chief of staff too, i would suggest john kellys main purpose in life is to control and establish process and make things go smoothly. he is working for a guy where he has no control. the...

When we say the headline, theyve been arrested, they were arrested not while they were waiting in line, waiting to go in the building. they were arrested because they illegally climbed over the wall. >> theres two processes. these individuals kprocrossed t border not through a port of entry. so theyre being arrested? >> thats justified? >> absolutely. in terms of what this administration is saying that people are overwhelming the system and undermining the law. the department of justice, and jef...

Something the office doesnt have much of a chance to do anything. last year everyone woke up when the president tweet whood the new fbi director was and the traditional processes of going through and the forms, interviews, a lot of different things that happen sometimes these things take months. its hard to do that when the president decides to make an announcement. >> so many people quoted on your piece. republicans saying help us help you. the way he is doing this puts them in a difficult posi...
