Exercises before going. i dont see where this is a big deal. theyre continuing to go to the region. were sending a strong message to north korea. the president is doing a very good job with the military and foreign affairs. >> paul, they were going the other direction when he said that. >> right. they were going 3500 miles in the other direction. he just -- he is our president. he is my president. wasnt him -- i want him to succeed. he needs to be quiet. moving that armada, that carrier strike g...

That. >> right. they were going 3500 miles in the other direction. he just -- he is our president. he is my president. i really want him to succeed, but hes not up to this. he needs to be quiet. moving that armada, that carrier strike group is a huge message. one you dont have to trumpet in an interview on cable news or on your twitter machine. the thing speaks for itself. i think he needs to increase pressure on north korea and china. thats good. im glad my country is doing that. im glad my pre...

>> yeah. who do you think had more fun, trump or nixon? i get the feeling trump enjoys it to an extent until the sun comes down and then hes totally alone after 6:00. then by 6:00 in the morning, hes just nuts to communicate with somebody. he gets on the twitter machine. >> one of the differences, of course, nixon drank, and he was pretty -- pretty well gone in the early evening, and that increased as watergate got more serious. trump doesnt drink, so maybe the tweets will increase. >> when your...

>> yeah, i was. i have a huge one. >> do you have a desktop? >> yeah. just -- yeah. i saw mika was tweeting, as she always does. she lives on her twitter. >> ive been tweeting a lot lately i feel like. >> mika serious tweet, here is what you tweeted, anti-semitism must be crushed whether its pushed by alt-right or professors on the far left. we saw a tweet later in the day ivanka trump, one of the first times shes gone out there and taken a more active role actually speaking out in response sayi...

They said some pretty ugly things. but that is one thing. i suspect, those are words. i didnt enjoy it. i didnt take it all that seriously. it never occurred to me to draw an analogy between these pro trump people who were pretty ugly at times and anything remotely comparable. it is just way beyond. >> bill: there is a difference between gross speech, which happens on both sides of the political spectrum, every day, and the violence that ms. streep is referring to. what are bots? do you know wha...

We dont do that here. it is all fact based here. but i dont know, in this vicious climate, all right, i think trump has got to fight back. whether he does it in another way man, maybe they should have a big meeting. last word. >> they got to take away the twitter machine. that is the trump into speaking. and he is strong enough, he got enough subordinates, who can carry the fight. he needs to be above the fray. a little bit more. i dont think hell ever do it. that is not his nature. >> bill: if ...

Streep to come on the program and talk about the history that she refers to. what bothered me about it most of all is that she seems to be saying that if you criticize her comments about the president, that you are a nazi. the brownshirts, as you know, anyone who knows history, were vicious animals. they were too gross for hitler, if you can believe it. he killed them, the leadership. they every tenet of civility. so, when you are going to make a comparison to killers, that is with the brownshir...

I think it is extremely democratic. although it is politically motivated, obviously, they were are those that are saying, we lost to the ballot box, so, we are going to use our wallets and our purses -- >> bill: let me get this straight. you you dont think threats of picketing and disruption in a private business is intimidation? >> i dont think that saying, i dont want to buy products -- >> bill: this is not what this is about. according to katie -- leslie, listen to me. thats not what this is ...
