Repetition of deep state, witch-hunt, crooked hillary, take your pick. >> fake news, that sort of thing. >> fake news, certainly. fake news. but those simple binary combinations are easy to remember. two-word combinations, most of them monosyllabic words. they have incredible staying power, and they are like the awful commercial jingles that you hate, but when you go into the store and say which one of the the thousands of rolls of toilett paper do i buy, and that jingle sticks in your head. tru...

I dont know if this is true or not, but were being told that russia actually wants you to win. thats a stunning thing for any candidate. >> yeah. and donald trump wants to be in the loop. his specialty actually has been keeping other people out of the loop, letting them only slightly. he wants to be the master of information. so, again, it is utterly inconceivable to me that any member of trumps family would have scheduled, or any of this staff would have schedule such a meeting without getting ...

>> the secretary of state was defiant but he cant remove the fact that while the president may like that kind of talk, the republican party remains averse to many of the approaches the trump administration is taking on foreign policy, this pugilistic approach to our allies. senator corker says they want to hear more about the policy and the strategy. >> and in fact, just to reprieve a little bit of this corker versus pompeo session, frankly bolton is under fire from a lot of people in the nation...

He actually said. the next question will be, will he play a part in making that available to people even on the national security council who feel left out of the loop. >> well, you would think when theres so many questions about what was actually said between the two leaders they would want to make it available in order to clear up any sort of misunderstandings that may be out there. >> indeed. >> i think it would be the logical next step, but doesnt seem theyre going in that direction to say t...

>> melissa: they both have valid points here, talking to the people before you in terms of monetizing it, will be youre talking about is that if youre going out and giving a speech or writing a book or your commentator on another channel, it raises your cachet, you still have a security clearance, youre able to charge for it, i was like you this information, still have access to it, the idea that youre still in the loop. >> katie: they will accidentally reveal classified information because they...

Packed with warhawks. john bolton top of that list. >> it is. i am happy to say i think there are more prudent people in the administration. if you look at the statements by secretary mattis about staying in the iran nuclear deal, he supported that. if you look at the general, he also supported staying in the iran nuclear deal. and i think the reason why is we -- it serves no purpose to have a second war in the middle east that is costly, costly to our economy and costly to the men and women who...

Would like you to come up. he said, youre coming. >> you had mike pompeo up in new york. he was there with the ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, talking about this next summit. >> right. >> youre going to be watching these republican senators. are you also watching him? i mean, just the degree to which hes in keeping with the president, saying we had this dan coats moment in aspen earlier this week? >> right. >> where is he in that orb and what can you tell about that? >> pompeo is very well-...

Says, they said dan coats is laughing at them? >> he is reacting in time. i found the phrasing of that report as to what the mind-set is in the white house. i dont think they think he is laughing at the president, he is a very high level official, he is cut out of the loop by the white house, and part of a long series of officials being ignored and humiliated. i think davids point is that president trump believes i alone with fictix it. remember last year when president trump was asked about the...

The russian ambassador and the russian foreign minister entering the oval office with the president last year that they were going to be having that kind of one-on-one meeting. and that just kind of indicates the extent to which he has been left out of the loop. of course, with regard to the morale issue, the fbi director spoke to that during the first day of this summit and he said, look, we are just trying to do our jobs and he denied that there was a real morale issue in the fbi. of cours of ...

That the president turn over any conversations he has had with people like putin to the national security -- >> you need the republican majority in the house to get along with you on that. >> i hope they see that this is a five alarm fire right now. we need every hand on the hose to put it out. we are so vulnerable if the president is striking side deals and inviting the president to our country and everyone who is responsible for protecting us is out of the loop. >> let me get your reaction to ...
