Aide rick gates. abby, thank you very much. we are joined again by john avlon and chris cillizza is. let s start with jared kushner. he reportedly doesn t want to give up his access to secret information. i think one thing we don t mention enough is he has an l.i.c. that is limited, limited interim clearance. it is supposed to be limited. he s actually not supposed to have access to the top secret information, but he does. and he has access to the daily presidential brief. so we don t know what is going to change. john kelly is cracking down on this. we have no idea what that means for jared kushner. which is why we have nepotism laws in the first place. if we do the kremlinology of the white house, pun intended, you will get a fight between he and kelly. they will play the trump card saying this isn t fair. it is an insane system in place. kelly is trying to impose a little bit of structure finally. give a little pat on the back ....
Saying he can deal with russia unintended pun on that one. mexico and the middle east. this is exactly why we have nepotism laws. they have fallen out of favor and they need to be reinstated. the president feels mexico is a far bigger threat to the united states than russia. we know rob porter had a temporary clearance and was handling top secret and classified documents because he was handling everything that the president saw. okay. but now you have someone who is not only doing that but is also the son-in-law of the president of the united states who appears to be benefiting from a carveout that this president has always made in his life. the rules do not apply as it relates to his family. that s been the case. it continues to be the case. it s the the whole, yeah, my ....
Business that he s vesting himself from and that takes time. we haven t had successful people in business like this just come in who haven t been active nepotism at its worst. this is why we have nepotism laws, for this very reason right here. you can talk about his multi-billion-dollar business, the 666 fifth avenue project is a billion dollars in debt. if he can pick up the phone and make some calls to different people that may potentially help him out, that s a problem. if there was some issue or he was freaking out about it, he would have stayed outside the white house and just stayed in his business. or maybe he has more access because he is inside the white house and it gives him unlimited access to anyone he wants. oh, please, just like trump isn t doing business. who is running his business, then? you re telling me he isn t talking to people who run his business. you actually believe jared kushner has absolutely zero i call b.s. that jared kushner has nothing to ....
It feels to me it have beeob there s a lot of bannon s perspective in this book. one of the things that jumps out at me in these sections about bannon and jared kushner and ivanka, the frustration that he felt trying to guide the administration and having family members right there. you can t fire family members, right? it was ultimately not a fair fight. everybody knew it wasn t going to be a fair fight if you were bannon. that s part of the reason why you generally don t hire family members. that s why we have nepotism laws. because if they screw up, if they are fighting with other members of your office or your administration or what have you, then you can t get rid of them. and so you can understand why bannon was frustrated. from my perspective, it s hard to know who to root for, because they re all incredibly problematic for lots of different reasons. but you can get rid of bannon, spicer, priebus, but the ....
On november 12, wearing an ivanka trump bracelet from her jewelry line. is that free advertising? of course it is. look, it s her brand, so she presumably has a lot of it at home and wear it. but there s this network of paparazzis who promote and say you can buy this look. and when it comes to profiting from the presidency, we haven t seen anything like this, but she can say i learned it from you, dad. they doubled the fees to get into mar-a-lago after he was elected president. so we see this tone come from the top throughout this administration. but ultimately, this is up to the american people to decide if they re comfortable with this or not. if they re not, you can pass a law. there are all sorts of nepotism laws after jfk, and now you don t have brothers running the justice department. so ultimately, you have to make ....
