He is attacking the peaceful transfer of power. And President Obama who was so gracious on him and pretty measured. More measured than a lot of us would have been. Hes attack the independence of our law enforcement. So there is no line he would cross to make sure he distracts us from these questions around russia. Trump is president of the United States. I have a hard time calling him President Trump right now. When he gets up at dawn and starts tweeting, that doesnt seem like an official statement from a president. It strikes me as the guy who used to say that obama was an illegal immigrant. Like as he blogger, not the president. What do you think when he makes these claims srgs he president when he is doing is this . Or is this some weird extracurricular at dawn he practices . He is the armchair uncle after thanksgiving dinner who is
at noon, as a republican he is saying, we havent heard anything yet so far about it. Were going to keep our eyes open and our ears open and maybe something will come across our desk. He is saying there is nothing to it but he wont blow the whistle on saying, lets stop this. Thanks for coming. On President Trumps surrogates have struggled to try to cover for the bosss weird statements on wiretapping. Listen closely to how they distanced themselves. Look interesting president firmly believes that the Obama Administration play tapped into the phones at trump tower of. Is his information, that President Obama tapped his phone based solely on something he read in the media . I havent had the chance to have the conversation directly with the president. He is at a much higher classification than i am. He may have access to documents that i dont know about. How does he know that his phone is actually tapped . Let me answer that. He is the president of the
United States. He has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not. Thats the way it should be for president s. Do you believe President Obama . I get thats a key question. My job is to represent the president and what he wants. Hes made very clear what his goal is. I am not here to speak for myselfism here to speak for the president of the United States and the government. He sounds like a public defend we are an obviously guilty defendant and he wont say anything. He will say, ill defend this character. I want to go to robert on this. You know trump pretty well. Why is he getting up at six 00 in the morning and spouting this nonsense in hes president. Hes the president and hes always gotten up early. He is up at 4 00, 5 00 in the
morning. He reads the news, the printout of arrests that sit on his desk and he goes through them page by page. Why does he do it . He doesnt use a computer. Youre missing my main point why. Does he get up on a saturday morning the trash his predecessor, then do it again, saturday, then tuesday. First, he said as he felon because he wire attempted him. In the past he said he was worthy of deportation because he snuck into the country illegally. Then he said he let the Guys At Guantanamo go. 93 were released froef obama becoming president. It was an unfair charge in both cases. Why is he attack the former president at dawn . A fair question. He truly thinks day to day about President Obama and he compares himself to how much President Obama was able to accomplish in
his first few months in office. Why he is somewhat haunted, smas put it, by President Obamas first term, im not sure. Im not a psychologist. But he does talk about what he could do with a Democratic Congress in 2009. Well, he was a rational man and he is a gentleman. How is that for a rational argument . What do you make of this . I dont know. As somebody who spent a year saying, oh, gee, isnt it crazy that hes tweeting this or saying that. When you start to see that theres a pattern to something. Not just in terms. News cycle. Were talking about russia and things he doesnt want us to talk about but also the time of the day. At dawn. Setting the news cycle in the morning. There is intentionality. Going after President Obama, thats personal too. If it comes out, as it really is coming out already. This tweet wasnt strategic. He would be seen as being a blow hard who is sending out nonsense at dawn. What about blaming the
guantanamo recidivists, when in fact he had a very small role in it. I think it was just popping off. Going on the Morning Shows and saying what can i put out this morning to get People Like Us talking about Something Like gitmo instead of talking about Rod Rosenstein who could be the deputy ag is having his confirmation hearings today. Let me get back to robert. One of the stories thats out is a haywire situation. We saw pictures through windows of Steve Banning Being Eruptive Last week. Were hearing about Reince Priebus is trying to be the hall monitor but isnt succeeding. He is being blamed. Trump comes out and says this is all fake news. There is some disruption inside the white house. And it is important to know that bannon and priebus were not with the president in florida on saturday morning with he started this cascade of tweets. He was in he is end alone, he was a president he alone at maralago. Reading breitbart. And bannon has this world view that trump has in many ways adopted. But bannon, he is a Comfort Dante of president but it is always trump himself making decisions, reacting. This idea of bannon or priebus being the influence, it never bears out. It is trump alone re. Styles taking their council but really running on his gut instincts. Up next, we hear from one of trumps closest friends the president is not a happy camper these days. That friend is with us tonight. Welcome back. It was saturday morning with question, are my teeth yellow . Have you tried the tissue test . Ugh, yellow. What do you use . Crest whitestrips crest 3d whitestrips whiten. 25 times better than a leading Whitening Toothpaste i passed the tissue test. Oh yeah. Crest whitestrips are the way to whiten
welcome back. It was saturday morning with President Trump fired off tweets accusing President Obama of wiretapping his phones during the 2016 campaign. A charge he made without evidence and won his own fbi director has said to ignore. His own Filibuster Director said ignore this. But a long time friend of President Trumps spent time with the president shortly after the tweets and again later saturday night. He wrote on sunday, i spoke with the president twice yesterday about the wiretap story. I havent seen him this ticked off in a long time. When i mentioned obamas denials about the white house, he said well this will be investigated. It will come out. Christopher, thank you for joining us. If you have any, about trying to examine the president would need to get up and tweet about this, i wonder. Well, breaking news, donald trump likes to tweet what he thinks and feels and Whats Going On in his mind. And hes been doing it a long time so theres no surprise here. A lot of people were caught very much off guard by this. But my conversations with him saturday, he was extremely confident about the information. He was angry. This did not seem like something he was sort of bantering about. Like something about ted cruz father or Something Like that. This was very serious. He spent any number of years talking that about the illegal immigrants. So dont say theyre casual remarks. They were serious charges. He was on the Birther Patrol for years. Well, lets make it clear, ill not here to represent the president. Nor the white house. Im just speaking as an individual who is friends with the president but also runs a media agency. I took it seriously. I think we should take the allegations seriously. I also think the president should produce some evidence at some point that supports the allegation. But lets remember, for all the talk about this, fbi director has yet to make any official statement. And all of the denials, 95 of these denials, nobody is deny that had the Trump Campaign was surveiled. What they are denying is that President Obama ordered the surveillance. Thats a big difference. And i think a very important difference. If that campaign was surveiled, and a lot of those campaign thats the that ive spoken to all believe they were surveiled at one point or another, thats a serious matter. Who were the people who said that . Trump watch tuesday march 7th, 2017. Im big on titles, if you havent noticed. I dont call Members Of Congress or senators by their first name. Just as important, the honor of having sought the popular mandate that gives them the Public Authority that comes with being chosen by the people. When someone has a title, its my view they deserve to be honored with it, they earned it. How should someone like me refer to the man and tweets untruths about our previous president of the United States. Should i say as if anchoring a morning news report, President Trump tweeted this morning that
President Obama secretly bugged him. President obatrump tweeted that President Obama is a felon. I dont hear hail to the chief when i hear about this banter at dawn. I hear a guy trying to get attention like the guy who said, barack obama was an illegal immigrant, ted cruz father killed president kennedy. A person who calls into the right wing radio in the middle of the night, with a conspiracy theory. Something that should be forgotten by dawn, not woken up by it. Thats hardball for now.
