Sense of whats driving this in the Mainstream Media that youre part of . First of all, theres a virus against republicans for a bias against republicans in general. Reagan was portrayed as dangerous and the same thing with, hes dangerous according to the media and you just cant break out of that. I think they feel that if they did they would be ostracized by their colleagues and i know for example from people within the white house correspondents of all that among themselves they laugh at him. They mock him. That is the overriding theme and many people just inherently think independently and in fact thats one reason i left college after 2 years like a few other people, michael dell. I didnt want to be told how to think i didnt want to be told what to read. I wanted to get firsthand what actually happened and thats the way ive operated. I dont have blinders on. Id like to penetrates secrets and thats what ive done in this book with all these details about the real donald. Thats excellent, its a fun read. So explain what happened with rance previous paul ryan and Chris Christie during access hollywood, important weekend for the campaign and what they do and then was there any repercussions from what they did later. Even mind that rance previous went to the debates. He still supported trump for the rnc. He didnt withdraw any support. What did he say . Lets see. He said you can get out of the race or losing a huge landslide and you mentionthis in your book. But that didnt, but it was too specific tasks. At the same time trump never forgive him for saying that it is unfortunatebecause trump , because rex resided over so many of these successes including the deregulation of that led ceos to realize expand and hire more workers. That theyre not going to be restricted and constricted and a lot of other achievements that occurred under Reince Priebus but at one point on the access Hollywood Tape said hillary, it shows trump is a coercive marauder but actually what he is saying in the day is women are after him all the time and he takes advantage of that. When youre a star, they want you to do that so its not, its not nonconsensual activity. Its consensual activity that he describes. Wow. It wasnt anything that really has happened in politics in my lifetime, in your lifetime so we saw something that doesntusually happen. Usually it would be the death now of the president ial Campaign Paul ryan, the speaker seemed to that way. And looking back, what is it that they didnt understand whether it was Reince Priebus or paul ryanabout the trump voter and the trump base , about these things about donaldtrump . I think Reince Priebus did understand but it is very hard for people in certain circles. On the east and west to understand the way of the average voter thinks. My home contractor, workingclass person said to me i dont care what trump says, i just care about what he does and that i think sums up the way people in the socalled workingclass think they have to be judged by results in the carpenter nails a nail into a strut and its crooked, you may be fire. Hired professor can sound off about all kinds of things is never held accountable. These people understand results and thats what you see withdonald trump. I see your point and that was great in your book read lets talk about home beach. It was alien to me but you write that behind the hedges, the games that all teachers play, their affairs, scams, murders, injuries, jealousies, pretenses, bigotry and occasional generosity makes you see me as tv shows look like nursery tales. Talk about how donald trump came into ma a lago how he took that place and how it resultedtoday. From first heard about ma a lago from his missing driver and this is typical. He will go around asking people opinions whether they are chambermaid or secret service agents. He has his advisers but he also has a wide canvas of people who give him opinions. As well as about 12 he consults. I name them in the book, most are billionaire is the way he works. When i was at mar a lago recently within he asked me what i thought about israeli settlements. I know as much about the middle east as he knows about the talmud but i gave him my opinion and thats the way he operates. But he wasnt brought by mar a lago and he brought it at Bargain Basement prices. It was a White Elephant and at first he used it as his home but then he decided to turn it into a club and that was the idea of paul rent health, his lawyer in florida who is jewish and said you can let in jews and blacks, these other clubs dont do that. Sure enough now its worth 700 million. Mar a lago, donald second wife was against turning it into a club. She wanted it for herself but he went ahead with it. One thing she did contribute was she said he should have a spot and so he created trump spa at mar a lago. But it is paradise. As he says its the closest thing to paradise will ever get to. It is simply unbelievable. It overlooks both sides ofthe island which is only a halfmile wide at the widest point. And this culture is unique. Its the richest place in the world. It has these traditions, a ball, they spend all the time at charities developing these balls and in the end they dont actually producethat money much money. One club member by the name of john was married to a very wealthy Real Estate Guide to italy and eventually he died and left her about 300 million. She stored his body at a local funeral home for 40 days under ice because he said i wanted to enjoy the season as they called it. I was faithful to him. And now i want to enjoy myself and go to parties, party on the yacht with ivana and she said shes going to do the same thing toher second husband if he dies as well. This is palm beach. I dont think many spouses would go for that but maybe in palm beach. Its incredible. Talk about the flag that he had a battle with palm beach people about down there. Donald directed this huge flag, towering over mar a lago, towering over the street and the town said this is against zoning regulations but he wins the battle and said it was a free speech issue. He sued the town and they started finding him a huge amount of money every day and eventually they settled and he agreed to move the flagpole further away from the street and to reduce the length of the flagpole but guess what . He erected it on a mound that his workman created so that in the end it was just as high as it was before. This is typical donald trump. And as he says, he always wins. Not quite but he usually does. And the way he finagled to get the club approved by the town is typical of how he operates. On the one hand, paul rent health, his lawyer had copies of the gentlemens agreement and another similar movie to the Town Council Members who are trying to prevent him from turning this into a club. Implying that theyre all bigots and thats why they are against approving the club. At the same time he sued the town and he invited these Town Council Members to parties at mar a lago and he says going out these glamorous girls and he often play golf with them and tennis with them so he uses the carrot and the stick and eventually it worked. Mar a lago brings in almost 40 million a year. Everybody wants to gothere now. That sort of sums up the way trump operates. Another recent book about President Trump is Bob Woodwards fear. And it author and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist discusses his conclusions about theTrump Administration. He spoke at George Washington university in september 2018. Everyone here has seen the book on the enormous amount of attention and the thing that struck me the most about the book was that i thought that you drew conclusions in a way that you may not have in previous books. You were very critical about how comey handles his interactions with the president when he briefed him on the dossier and your largest conclusion. Can you imagine you are two weeks away from becoming president and the fbi director comes in and theres no way the ghost of Theodore Hoover is not far behind. And says by the way, we have this secret dossier about you being with prostitutes in moscow threeyears earlier. How wouldyou feel . How should comey have handled it . Not that way. And trump as a legitimate beach in my view and i say so in the book and being the prisoner of too much history and writing too much about president s, in the case of bill clinton when he came into office in 1993 and his white House Counsel was burning this one the first of six. Thats right but the first and as you imagine, clinton had some baggage to and there were all kinds of things that the fbi got about clintons extracurricular activities, which were abundant so they sent all this instead of breathing clinton on it they sent it to bernie nussbaum, white House Counsel and nussbaum looked at it and said put it in the burn bag. And said okay, lets see what happens. Lets see how these things happen and im not sure the burn bag, i wish he called me and he didnt, but the idea of the fbi director getting in the face of somebody like trump who has a big ego. And i quote in the book, clinton told his lawyer after this briefing, he said melania can never find out about this and it was a few days later she did as did the world. You draw a conclusion that the administration is in a very dangerous spot and i felt, is that the furthest you have ever gone and why did you go so far . Evelyn duffy who is my assistant. Are you here evelyn . Raise your hand, stand up. [applause] a George Washingtonuniversity graduate. [applause] and the year 2007, shes worked for me since that time and weve done five books, 4 president s and she knows all the secrets. And she knows how to keep secrets and she knows how to kick me in the ass. And for that, i salute her and gw. [applause] but evelyn and my wife elsa walsh, very much involved, this is a Family Affair and they both said you cannot step away from the obvious conclusions of what youve found in the book. That there is, there are a group of people which i illustrate very vividly who stand up to trump. Steel documents off hisdesk. On south korean trade because its connected to very sensitive intelligence operations. Documents on nafta, documents on Climate Change and so forth. Its a regular procedure. Get it off the resolute desk and he will not remember or not think about it. And as i say, youve got all of the other things. John dowd s lawyer for the Russian Investigation for eight months, can you imagine being trumps lawyer . Eight months area and he goes through and he finally does a practice session with trump and in the white house and their overlooking the monuments and dowd, the lawyer asks questions of trump. Its kind of a dry run and trump picks things up, lies. Loses emotional control and finally says you cannot testify. If you testify, it will be as he elegantly puts it an orange jumpsuit. And you dont have to know a lot about Law Enforcement to not recognize what that is. So you connect all of these things and my conclusion in the book is that its an administration and a white house thats going through a nervous breakdown. So its going through a nervous breakdown. How couldit go wrong . What would the manifestation of that look like . Give us an example of okay, in a dangerous spot what could happen . Just on trade and it sounds esoteric but the trade war with china. 99. 9 percent of the economists say tariffs makes no sense, they hurt consumers, we buy things because they are cheaper and better quality and trump somehow has in his head that theyre taking that money from us, they are stealing and he will not get that out of his head. One of the conclusions that i make is that theres a war on truth and part of it is not just what trump says but where trump gets these ideas and the experts go in. Gary cohens chief economic advisor. He kind of slaps him gently in an affectionate perhaps way and says if youd shut up you would learn something. [applause] our look at recent books on the Trump Administration continues with historian and author victor davis hanson. His book the case for trump deals with how the president has followedthrough on his campaign promises. Mister hansen appeared on our program after words in 2018 and spoke with congressman dave bryant ofvirginia. I think the deep state is a permanent class of federal and also state and local workers who feel that they are exempt frompublic accountability. Theres a civilservice union and yet they have the resources of the state so if they want to regulate the farmer or they want to sue a coal company, they have the means to bankrupt that person and or if there a federal prosecutor and they say are going to bring you in front of a liberal washington dc jury tie you up for years unless you admit to this, this as we saw with the Mueller Investigation, thats the deep state and they tend to be progressive only in the sense that the ideology of making them your giving them more power is democratic and leftist thats one of the reasons that they hated trump. You mentioned some of the names i feel like im in an alternate universe read James Clapper went before a Congressional Committee and under oath he swore that the United States was not intercepting communications of private citizens and then he said i lied what i gave the least untruthful and there were no consequences. John brennan went before a congressionalcommittee and said i can tell you we have not had any Collateral Damage in drone attacks in afghanistan , that was a lie and he admitted it. He went before the committee and said we do not at the cia into senate staff and that was a lie. There has been no ramifications. James comey said to two of your Congressional Committees i dont know. If you or i said that to an irs investigator would be in jail so there are people who have an assumption that they have a right to overturn an election for the will of the people because their exempt and theyre powerful. When Andrew Mccabe said he thoughtdonald trump wasnt acting right and you went to Ron Rosenstein , the Deputy Attorney general and they discussed whether they should tap the president of the United States with a wire and then those two would decide whether they should all cabinet officers to remove an elected president on the 25th amendment which it was never designed for that, that was the academy of what the deep state of itself and its power and its morality. And throughout history at bursae or in the spanish empire for the byzantine empire , in constantinople its always a problem. It always grows and it has pretensions ofsupremacy. I dont know how we stop it but we got to speak out against it. That is constituents and even liberals, i get a chance to meet Bernie Sanders and hes in agreement with a lot of what you said about the deep state and the concentration of wealth and power on the left. But its interesting, Everybody Knows this. And people would ask what can we do. And youre really left in a talk by. That the major politicians that they know that if you mess with the state, cia, they told trump i think it was schumer. Made a comment with respect if. Many of those books in quotes in the book when schumer says have to take sixday. Maybe get to you and when john brennan tweeted an attack on trump and said not a good idea, john blacklock. Theres a lot of, i have a lot of evidence that what they thought of themselves. Rented clapper and mccabe but they were exempt so far theyre right. They have not been exposed to criminal prosecution or ask of anyone of us had done it we would have been leveraged and yet we go after all these minor characters. We go after papadopoulos and we them with years of imprisonment and financial ruin unless they get a particular testimony we find useful we have all this other asymmetrical criminality that we dont touch it because it is our own fault. We give undue see and obey its two people that have offered that titles after their name. Jd, phd, m. D. Or their counsel in Foreign Relations or at the institution rather than just examining people. Was part of the revolution of the 30s, 40s and 50s with Managerial Society that we feel that theres a professional class because their credentials and they work at the right places. Therefore equates to wisdom and sobriety and i think thats yet another reason that people hated donald trump. Because if you walk into a room with donald trump and i havent done it but you said mister trump, you cant do that because the council on Foreign Relations thinks its a bad idea it probably say what good idea they hadlately. Was it the north korea Six Party Agreement . It hasnt worked, was it afghanistan . We have one so that one of the reasons they dont like him. Its interesting when charlottesville came up where your called names at length. Do not these and etc. , our philosophy believes the exact opposite, we want to reduce the role of federal Government Read madisonian logic wantthem to be separated from federal state and local and its the federalist separation of powers. President trump is fighting this war daily in trying to fight the leviathan. Do you see any light at the end of the tunnel that we are able to reduce the size and scope of government and the power being wieldedor is it as you noted its continually growing . I think the problem is we hear donald trump has not filled federal offices. That he be regulated 200 key regulations, thats all good but at the same time the
