that were purchased by russians to interfere in our election. facebook hasn t done enough in this regard. they re beginning to. but even with what minimal amount they re doing to correct their practices, they re doing way more than the administration is at this point. what about the numbers in a poll, a new one that, finds just 13% of republicans who say the mueller investigation is legit, 75% of republicans agreeing with the president, they say it s a witch hunt. if you look at the democrats who are polled, you can flip it pretty much. after a year, can you understand, sir, how people can be impatient even if they ve been given a number of things circumstantially of otherwise? there is no clear statement from anyone who says, here is our evidence. does this give critics reason to discredit the investigation? alex, i disagree with your premise, with all due respect. there have been over 100 charges filed for 19 individuals, four of whom were trump operatives, two of whom were very
it s incredibly difficult to scold a staffer for saying something when you look at the president s past comments that aren t nearly as harsh, saying he preferred people who hadn t been captured early on. and that was a message from the president that really shocked republicans at the time. some people thought that was kind of the end of his campaign. obviously that didn t happen. yeah. what do you think the calculation is, erin, from your vantage point? why this approach by the white house? is the president pulling the strings on this potentially? well, i would say, alex that, the president clearly does not like to apologize for just about anything, and i think the white house press shop takes that tact too, thinking that by apologizing, they re showing some form of weakness. i would say from hogan gidley and others saying they weren t in the meeting and didn t know if it was said, that is bologna. we know kelly sadler has called meghan mccain to apologize, so she obviously said it
position in the future where enhanced interrogation techniques would be revived or at least seriously considered? i think she made it very clear in her testimony the other day that that is not a place cia is going to go. number one, we don t need to do it. number two, the law would not allow the techniques. the law as it currently stands would not allow those techniques to be used. and i think cia as an institution and cia personnel as individuals suffered greatly as a result of the national reaction to that program. and i think she made it very clear in her testimony that we re not going there, and i firmly believe if the president were to order her to do it, she would say no, and i think she would resign if that was necessary. you do believe that? because i want to review something that the president has done. he s gone on the record as calling for a return to the use of torture. in his words, something a lot worse.
trying to interfere, foreign power, foreign governments. jesse: hillary paid for a foreign government to interfere. juan: that s not true. but let me continue for the moment. jesse: we have the money trail. juan: dealing with the ongoing negotiations over whether or not mueller gets to talk to donald trump. so you had john dowd who was the president s lawyer saying don t ever talk to this guy. it will trip you up. we know you are given to hyperbole and sometimes fabrication and you will be caught up in lying. don t do it. trump was not listening to john dowd. incomes rudy giuliani who last week met with mueller, has worked with mueller in the past for lots of talk today about who leaked it. sorry to say much of it is about rudy giuliani is the new guy, the new player on the block. what would giuliani s intent be in linking the document? you heard some of my colleagues say they think it s an effort to put pressure on trump so that trump says i am disgusted with all of this. i m
what is that have to do with anything? he has no answer for that. then you say oh, but it s about blacks all thinking in the box. do you think black people can t think for themselves and don t have the capacity to say is this good for our community? good for me and my family? people come to that on the basis of real substantive action, taken or not taken by the person you are discussing, donald trump. i think it s kind of insulting to black americans to say kanye says something and now oh, gosh. i don t think you are kanye fans after katrina going after bush. i don t think you were big kanye fans. now everybody on the right, oh, kanye, kanye. greg: he just came out in favor of gun control. i am still okay with him. jesse: seeing low black unemployment, lower food stamps, shootings down in chicago. things are getting a little bit better under his presidency.
