Democrats can call 202 7488000. Republicans, 202 7488001. Independents can call 202 7488002. You can also reach us on twitter and on facebook. And this morning, politico has more about these comments that the president made about Jeff Sessions, and we expect that President Donald Trump broadsides against general Jeff Sessions, no careless accident or slip of the tongue. Instead, trump was sending a message. Making a deliberate effort to convey his lingering displeasure with his attorney general, who recused himself in march from the federal investigation from the russian meddling into the 2016 election, but he did not just do that randomly, the adviser says of the president. There was a certain sinking behind it. That tops off our question today, asking you do you think that the attorney general should be in his post or should he resign . We have a bit more from todays New York Times about Jeff Sessions as well, because even sessions remains in his job, the relationship between him and mr. Trump, the alabama lawyer, and the Queens Real Estate developer, and on couple bound by a shared conviction that illegal immigration is destroying america, is unlikely to ever be the same. This according to a halfdozen people close to mr. Trump. And this is not the typical Trump Administration feud. The story goes on to say that mr. Trump preoccupied by investigations that he believes are unfairly aimed at him. Mr. Sessions decisions seemed impossible to forgive. Everything that was happening by thevor triggered recusal. Mr. Stone listed a chain of events mr. Trump often takes off against mr. Sessions. Be attorney general Rod Rosenstein took over the russia investigation after mr. Sessions recusal was led to the appointment of Robert F Mueller the third, the former fbi director and special counsel, which in turn led to irrepressible president ial rage. Seattle, independent line. Good morning. Caller good morning. Like Jeffrey Beauregard sessions should remain as attorney general. I feel like donald trump is the king. Basically what we are seeing is the United States government is the constitution is it really is. It is only as good as the people who interpret it. Donald trump is corrupt. Jeff sessions is corrupt. They will do whatever they can to destroy america. Does notn why he would want any investigation is because donald trump change the votes of the elections. Everything he said his reverse psychology that he used. You will find out that those machines and those swing states were hacked. I can hack him hack them, and i want you to look this up, because i have been asked to do this in georgia. Host getting back to the discussion about Jeff Sessions, if he were to leave, do you have whether theyut would find somebody to replace him as attorney general . Caller it is not hard to replace anyone. But the system of laws are breaking down. We have a system of men now. Donald trump is actually a king. Can all these who committed these crimes, and the republicans are going to do it in order to put their rightwing agenda in on the american people. Thank you. T rob, from baton rouge, boca raton, florida. Do you think attorney general sessions caller yes lulu should. Yes, hetay desk, absolutely should. And he should say to protect the american people. And i think senator mccain should reach out to Lindsey Graham to act on behalf of the dreamers. We need our politicians to be patriotic, to protect the american people, to do what is right by themselves and their own conscience and their own lives, to do what is right for themselves, which would also the right thing for the american people. I think the attorney general has a conscience and tinos good people know what it is to do the right thing. Host you mentioned the dreamers and the dream act that was unveiled yesterday. Hasrney general sessions taken a pretty hardline when comes to immigration reform. Say you want him to stay but that could create tension there. Caller i wish senator mccain all the best. Mitch mcconnell, all of these ourin office are aging and time is limited. I hope that senator mccain has another 20 good years on the earth. But it is time that people search their own souls, their own consciousness. I myselfw what am becoming elderly, and it is time that we turn around and do the right thing for the generations to follow, and it is not just the dreamers. It has to do with health care, i think we should tax the imports and open up medicare. Im a ross perot traitor. I believe trader. I believe that when he talked about unfair trade, which is where President Trump got a lot of his ideas from, i think that is on the right track. Our democratica, line. Good morning, dolly. Caller good morning. Host do you think that attorney general sessions should remain in his post . Caller yes, i do. A handshake does withean he is in cahoots the russians. And he should not have stepped down. But he did. That is ok. I think that donald trump, or President Trump by the way, i am a democrat and i try to call on the democrat line and it would not go through. Host you are on the line, go ahead. Caller oh, ok thank you. , and i for donald trump believe that he speaks his mind and that is what we need, someone who speaks their mind. Host do you think his comments about attorney general sessions are expressing regret that he hired him . Do you agree with the president . Caller you know, i agree with that mr. Do believe is right on the dot , because iing believe they have a Good Relationship and he understands President Trump of the frustrations President Trumps frustrations. An awesomeis doing job, and i wish we would all, especially the democrat party, all get along and do their job. Im very disappointed in the republican party. I will probably be a registered republican next time voting, but i believe both sides need to get start doing and their job, especially the democrat party. Im so disappointed in what they are doing right now. Sessions, just the work he has been doing lately is unbelievable. We should all be very proud. And i know that President Trump is very proud of what sessions is doing, he is just disappointed in what is going on with the whole russia, russia, russia. Host lets take a look at a little bit more of what attorney general sessions said yesterday in response to the president s comments. We will continue every single day to work hard, serve the national interest, and wholeheartedly join in the priorities of President Trump. He gave us several directives. One of them is to dismantle internet transnational criminal organizations. That is what we are announcing today. Dismantling the largest of the dark websites on the world. I congratulate our people for that. Asave an honor as serving attorney general. It goes beyond any thought i would have for myself area and we love this job, this department, and have plans to continue to do so as long as that is appropriate. Attorney general sessions, how do you feel you can effectively serve from here on out if you do not have the confidence of the president . We are serving right now. What we are doing today is the kind of work we intend to continue. Last week, we announced the largest healthcare takedown ever in the United States. We had all of the major Law Enforcement leaders in my Office Yesterday to talk about a ouried effort to improve crimefighting with state and local officials. I am totally confident that we can continue to run this office and effective way in an effective way, but i would like you to focus now on the work of the individuals behind me who helped put this case together so that we can celebrate and affirm the work that they have done so that we can learn from it and get even better in the future. Is on ourkey republican line from alaska. Do you think sessions should remain in office . Caller yes, they do. And i know proud of cspan for allowing this form to speak to other americans in the country. We are in challenging times right now, financially, emotionally, structurally, politically, and we need to recognize that there is a force coming against our country that is trying to take us down. Not democratic, not republican, not indian,t, whatever. Theyre coming after us, were the only three nation on the planet. They can say they have democracy, but we are a republic. And we have laws, and they are written in the constitution. The rest of our documentation, and i think the attorney general knees to test the judges and see what their knowledge really is needs to test the judges and see what their knowledge really is. In the old days they would be called communists and fascist. Host are you concerned about the tensions . Caller im concerned about the young people that have no education in our socialist. Host we are talking about attorney general dust Jeff Sessions here. The tensions between sessions and President Trump. That isi think fabricated, personally. Theyre working many hours and im so proud of them all. I was really afraid for our country not to get these independent individuals in and to actually straighten the ship, if you want to put it on those terms. Thank you for a long me to speak, and you are doing a wonderful job. I think trump does not even have all of his cabinet. He hasnt even gotten all of his people appointed yet. It is absurd. Host ok. Kevin from jackson, mississippi. Independent. Caller thank you for taking my call. Host do you think that Jeff Sessions should remain as attorney general . Caller yes, i do. Host why is that . Caller look. Fought for him to be approved, and it was a pretty close vote. I believe it was 5253 to get him approved but use the attorney general. Notnow since he is following directions, he wants out of a job. What do you think of that . The fact that there is a tension between the president and the attorney general, his chief Law Enforcement official. Does that concern you . Caller yes, it does. I saw the press conference yesterday where he was talking about the opioid and the other slavery and all, and i was actually against him because of his Voting Rights act, but they said it was ok. He was, you know, so i will take their word on it. Host democrat line, mississippi. Do you think of the attorney general should remain on the job . Keeps hisly if he dignity and knows the position that he hold. He is not the president attorney. He is serving the United States. I think he needs to stay, because i am afraid of who trump might put in that would further denigrate our laws in a certain spectrum. He is looking for ways to protect his family. He is working for his family. Donald trump, i am speaking of, not the american people. Wants the congress to stay in for the weekend to get the works, but i guarantee you that was on air force one, and going to maralago this weekend. I heard one caller said that our country is being attacked. It is being attacked from the inside. Donald trump, his family, his , they are looking to assert the constitution. Urp the constitution. He does not understand it and he really does not care. We need to Pay Attention to what he does, not what he says. He walks around on the white house lawn like he is a child, like he does not know where he is. But when you get him in the spotlight, he is [indiscernible] host ok. A little more from the politico piece this morning about the relationship. President trump and attorney general sessions, says one person close to sessions that he has no interest in designing even though he offered to do so in late may following rollout first by trump over his recusal. By while the resignation empt was easily reported, was earlier reported, trump had sessions send in a resignation letter. By the time it was submitted, trump had cooled down and rejected the offer. Caller cspan, thank you for taking my call. Sessions should never have been nominated, never have been a did. Im a born and bred southerner. He is a known racist, he fought to oppress voters throughout the south and in his own state, so lets just forget that nitwit. My proudestump, moment was not getting my drivers license, not getting my pilot license as a teenager, it was eating my voters card, which i am now going down and canceling so trump cannot get my information. Narcissistic, misogynist confabulation, and the people who elected him need to stop thinking the koolaid and wake up. Deep,ountry is in deep, peril. Im frightened, i am scared, and i have never felt this way. I have been very politically involved. I cannot even watch the news anymore because he is sickening and the sycophants that are following them down the rabbit hole are insane. It is all in aim. Absolute insanity. Host mark, michigan, democratic line. Do you think that attorney general sessions should state . Caller no, he should resign. He should have never been up there. He is a racist anyway. Im from michigan. And as for President Trump, [indiscernible] what is that say about our country . What about our country . They are taking us back. They wanted to be the good old days. That is what . 1962 . I remember when you cannot even vote or get health care. They got for somebody, the last lady who spoke up and knows something. She is from the south, i am from michigan. What lets take a look at White House Press deputy sec Deputy Press Secretary said yesterday from the audio only press briefing, answering questions about President Trumps comment. Is the president of confidence in the attorney general . Does he want the attorney general to stay in his post . The president said, as he said yesterday, he is disappointed in the attorney general jetsons sessions decision to recuse himself, but he clearly has confidence in him or he would not be the attorney general. Said he has confidence in the attorney general. As he believed that the attorney general is serving the president for the country . I believe that the president i think that is kind of a both, obviously. The attorney generals job is to follow and uphold the constitution, but also every member of the cabinet and the administration serves at the pleasure of the president. Whether attorney general be resigning . I believe i have answered that. I think you know this president well enough to know that if you wanted the money if you action,omebody and take he would make that quite clear. Host james from florida, cheney, from florida. Good morning. Caller do you thinkhost he, how are you . Host do you think the attorney general should remain on the job . Caller i think he should not go anywhere. And i beg to differ, he has not been proven to be a racist or anything. People always grow that kind of stuff around. As far as trump and him and their relationship, i am not worried about it. I voted for clinton, and he hated janet reno, and i do not member anybody asking for her to step down when he was all upset. Ith her if you go back through the archives, you will see that he really did not like her at all, you know yarbrough but he did not get rid of her and nobody made a big deal about it. So i do not think this is a big deal. I think trump, since he is not a politically savvy person with his words, he just throws stuff out there. But it is a nice change from all silversmooth talking tongued devils that have destroyed part of this country. Doi am good with it, and i not think there is any problem. I think it is a lot to do about nothing. Host ok. D from okeechobee, florida, republican line. Do you think that attorney general Jeff Sessions should remain as attorney general . Yet caller yes, i do, kimberly. But i have a comment to make if you do not mine. I really like you, you seem like a very nice person, but you are kind of making special things with people here, ok . People will call and ask that question about russians, but sessions, but the minute they start going Something Else, you stop them, interrupt them, and tell them this is about russians. The three causes that you had a woman come on, never mentions russians and went on the whole tirade about antitrump, and you let her go on and on and on. She was not interrupted, you let her go because she was antitrump. Host do you want to make a comment about attorney general sessions . Caller i told you come i think you should stay where he is at. He is doing a good job, and the president gets a little upset now it again, but knowing the personality he does not mean what he says. Inhink you doing a great job the president knows this. I think he was frustrated, is all. Thank you very much. Calling from is seminal, alabama. Republican line. What are your . Caller Jeff Sessions is well qualified for the job. He is a great man. If you call him or talk to him, he will write you a letter, i am a veteran and you will help the veterans. And he has done one thing alabama, pulling us that we are the in the south. We got it all. And we build airplanes, all of this is starting and Jeff Sessions has helped us. He is well qualified for the job. Somebody me ask you, from the attorney generals home state, does it concern you and the president makes statements saying that he would not have elected actions had he known he would recuse himself . Sessions had he known he would recuse himself . Caller Jeff Sessions is qualified for the job he has, he would do an excellent job. Host but are you concerned about what the president said . Caller no, no. There are a couple of buddies. They have to have somebody something to talk about. Host ok. On the front o
