I was talking to a group earlier today, indivisible. and i said, at some point we have to get past the talking points we've had so far. let's talk about what the speaker and chairman nunes are doing. they are not only facilitating the suppression of this investigation. by doing that, they're putting the president above the law. we are a co-equal, separate branch of government. in effect, what they're really doing is they're advocating and allowing the president to rise to an autocracy. >> president trump tweeted today, "new fbi texts are bombshells." a bombshell, really? >> look, the president...

Trump had. donald trump made him his campaign chairman. i think a lot of us thought that was bad. we thought maybe the white house will be staffed with reasonable people and remember what a shock it was to a lot of people when bannon was made -- he wanted to be chief of staff but he was made a co-equal to reince priebus. he was -- >> he got top billing. >> senior strategist of equal rank with the chief of staff. >> a lot of democrats were terrify when bannon was announced because they thought he was a white nationalist. they read breitbart, they thought it was bigoted and they thought it was a...

We're handing the world to china, to russia, that's not in america's interest so i think that hopefully over time the president will understand that he needs to lead on these global issues. he's very far from that. i was disappoint bid the stances that they took and so was the rest of the world. >> bring us inside that world as somebody who has been in rooms just like this. in the room with president putin and president trump, where just foreign minister lavrov and secretary of state tillerson, no note takers, how unusual is that, and, you know, you've been talking about the elevation of china...

Listened to. they've been marginalized. but third, they need to check politics at the situation room door. having mr. bannon in the situation room at the table as a co-equal to the secretary of defense, secretary of state, that's wrong place to go. and on top of that, there are reports that he's been running a parallel process, divorce from the national security council on national security issues. that is a recipe for conflict, for disfunction. i hope that part of general mcmasters' conditions for taking the job is that he's running the show and mr. bannon and the ideologues are not part of t...
