What did you think when you saw that portrait? do you think the president knew what he was doing by holding this event under andrew jackson? >> this was totally staged. i challenge anybody to say it was not staged. he knew what he was doing. he has been on television long enough to know how to stage what is behind you. that podium was placed there for a purpose and that was to showcase andrew jackson and the president. totally condescending to our heroes and the code talkers. i can't explain how disarming that was to me. >> you don't think it is possible nobody in the white house think about i...

Then he launches into that chuck and nancy didn't show up. sand there's sort of a horror in the lack of gravity, that the president is incapable of loaning to a single moment as president. and i think mark just laid out this sort of jarring pivot from this grave moment, the threat of a leader in north korea, who as john heilman said is sort of unmoved by diplomatic efforts by our country and others in the region. but then he turns to trash talking chuck and nancy. we have seen him in the last two days, right before this hour, windows into his mind, what was remarkable about yesterday's event w...

Yesterday, they were injured there on the islands when they were there in the campaign. this was a day to honor them and to insert something like that, the word pocahontas as a jab to a senator, that belongs on the campaign trail not in the room when our war heroes are being honored. that was a good gesture by the president, by the white house, to be able to bring our code talkers into the oval office and has not happened before. but then to insert that, i thought it was uncalled for. we need to honor these war heroes, our american war heroes in a respectful way, in any situation, in any circu...

That. honoring those code talkers, the navaho code talkers, many of whom are no longer with us because these are world war ii veterans should have been the focus of that meeting. what an incredible story what they did for our country. >> such an incredible story. you do not think it's appropriate to use a name like that in such a setting? >> again, he and elizabeth warren go back and forth with their name calling and, you know, that's not my style as you know. but i stay out of that. i do think that that event should have been about honoring some real patriots who stepped forward to help our c...
