>> can i ask you a specific question relative to jared kushner. talk about your time working with him at "the observer." what was that relationship like? you were the editor in chief, he was publisher. how did that work and how effective was he as publisher? >> i was editor in chief of "the observer" in 2011 and 2012. we would interact weekly and talk daily. as a publisher, he wasnt as hands-on as some other publishers at other newspapers. he was fundamentally a real estate guy, and he took some...

Why are we isolating ourselves at a time when we need other countries to cooperate with us, especially as we enter into these negotiations with north korea? >> i want to ask you about the firm that was supposedly trying to get dirt on the obama administration. >> yes. two of my friends. >> "the observer" in london and "the new yorker magazine" reported that a firm was trying to dig up dirt on the obama officials working the deal. they said they were trying to undermine the agreement. aides of th...
