him. nobody knows who the hell he is. well, we kind of want to talk about him. let s talk about him. let s do it. he s here. why not then? that was president trump talking about republican senator jeff flake at a campaign style rally in phoenix at the end of august on his home turf. senator flake joins us now. last time he was here he discussed his isn t it true book. you ve got a reader. a loyal faithful reader. a 15-year-old little girl of mine reading your book in kentucky, and he s fascinated by it, a big supporter. i appreciate that. after that arizona rally, i felt like is like harry potter, he who should not be named. right. how is your relationship with
that could have nipped this in the bud and didn t. trump has dealt with really no good options with here. how could have obama solved this? he could have gone in and taken military actions, gone with more sanction, drawn a real red lines and not allowed kim jong un obama faced the same military options that trump has right now. the difference is they didn t have a hydrogen bomb when obama. but they had 3,000 or 10,000 rockets pointed at seoul. there is no good option. i think what this really underscores is the fact that donald trump s twitter account is a double edged sword. it s great for him because he can cut through the media coverage, get a message out to his supports, on the one hand. at least that s the argument he is making. but the flip side he has put his foot in his mouth. this is a guy who said fire and fury a few weeksing. caller: then he went and had the arizona rally where he said i think kim jong un is starting to respect us, at least he believed that.

the discipline he imposed is relatively minor. he is just trying to control some of the information flow to the president. by the standards of the two white houses i worked in this would be baby stuff. the fact that trump resents that tells us a lot about the trump. the fact that john kelly, though says he isn t taking it. earlier at the arizona rally, donald trump tried to call him up on stage. john kelly was there. he wouldn t come. indira one of the things that people say about this white house is that, okay, maybe john kelly has what it takes to organize the white house or as ron says the information flow to the president and impose some discipline with the staffing and the number of people coming into his office how they call him making appointments all of these things it seems he is able to manage. but as ron says that s baby stuff. and given the agenda and the things that have to be done and
