Emboldened. they feel emboldened by his poll numbers. they feel emboldened by this ongoing controversy. how is all of this, including what you see with jared kushner, including donald trump jr., going on, you know, talk shows and news shows and, you know, mounting his own defense. how is this affecting very real foreign policy, particularly as it relates to russia? >> well, you use the verb "embolden," which i think is part of it. but i think the other part of it is nervousness. squeamishness ab...

Direction that his intelligence community has definitely staked their reputation on. thats for sure. paul, let me ask you about whats going on now. jared kushner behind closed doors with congressional investigators, answering questions about his role in the campaign and as he says, in his statement he put out beforehand, says he has nothing to hide and no collusion on his part. he is absolutely defending himself in that statement and of course, you can assume exactly what hes doing behind closed...

Out of 312 million people, hes our one avatar what happened to that need to have that person be a bit grand? >> its interesting, nixon was similar to trump in many ways that have been discussed but he came before a certain time so even though he had a resentment of the elites he had a sense to present himself, to make a case he had to at least try to speak well and he learned to do it. he was a good speech maker off the cuff. he could speak quite fluently. the modern nixon doesnt feel that way b...

Time i can remember a president going to a meeting in europe with our european friends which hes getting a frosty reception from the most important and most powerful player in europe, angela merkel from germany, who is very happy -- loved obama and very unhappy with trump. this could be a fractious meeting. and it could come out without a lot of progress on the issue that americans view so important, north korea. theres going to be pushback from the chinese and russians against the u.s. position...

Of this meeting being able to say that he reset -- maybe thats not the best verb, but he certainly got the u.s.-russia bilateral relations in a better place, sort of moving it forward in a positive direction. i think he wants to show that hes not intimidated by vladamir putin, that he is willing to meet eye to eye with him and be strong. but i dont think were going to see a lot of tangible results out of this. theyll come out of this thing and say we had a constructive meetings. our teams are no...

Because youve been a prolific twirter. what are whatever the verb is. but first the revelation from the president, the big reveal i guess in reality tv terms, that there are no tapes of jim comey. do you agree with your colleague in the house adam schiff who thinks the original tweet may constitute something more serious that more than a bruf an effort to silence a witness. >> it looks like attempted intimidation. thats wasnt the only time he he has done that. he pressured him in the office. so ...

Initial grumbling. is he getting a signal today from the rest of the party and the country that this is a bridge too far? this is unacceptable outcome. im not sure that is the answer. the verb that paul ryan managed to come up with is he would be surprised if the president did it. not that he would be outraged. i think this is significant. the unusualness of the statement is a marker of how far off the normal road we are on and it could get stranger yet if the political system does not send a cl...

Rosenstein, the guy who is the only one who could actually fire bob mueller, he testifies in less than an hour right now, this guarantees that the deputy attorney general is going to get asked about this, ron. >> absolutely. first of all, as a designated nonlewis on the panel, great to be here. i think this is part of a broader part earn we have talked about before, the instinct of donald trump is also to try to delegitimize any institution he believes can challenge him. from the fake news media...
