clearly, illegal conduct, problematic. it s also problematic when you have students admitted to school who are not truly qualified, but their parents have made a big donation. it s problematic that schools give a huge advantage to family members who attended the school in the past. that was john king on the college admissions scandal. it s led to charges against 50 people including lori loughlin and felicity hoffman. joe, i want to go to you first. you worked as an assistant to the president of the united states of pennsylvania. what struck you as you learned about the charges? i was just so saddened to hear about how a few bad actors tried to abuse the system. honestly, the consequences are tremendous for those people and their families. i know the universities are going to do everything they can
manuel macron to washington. it s his first big state dinner. it matters how it s carried off, how it s planned, what s discussed. that s one of the reasons we re giving so much attention to what happened this weekend. right on the eve of all of these big things we had the president just going off on jim comey, the mueller probe, how all of the media has it wrong, how the media has it unfair. he went at it more than ever in terms of volume. let s discuss the state of play with mark short. assistant to the president of the united states. always good to have you on the show, sir. good morning, chris. thanks for having me back. good. let s have one quick agreement on one point. you cannot guarantee to the american people that the mueller probe will be seen to its conclusion, is that true? chris, how about we phrase the question a different way. how about we look at it as every day there s a different vigil, a prayer vigil on cnn. is today the day that mueller is
here s sarah huckabee sanders questioning the intellect of democratic senator chuck schumer. i don t know what s confusing like that. sometimes senator schumer needs help getting through big policy negotiations like that. but the president s laid out what he wants and if they need help understanding that, we d be happy to send some people over there to explain it to him. do you really want to be questioning senator schumer s knowledge of this legislation? look, if he s unclear about what the president has laid out, then possibly. steve schmidt, can you possibly imagine any scenario where either one of us wouldn t have been fired for calling a sitting senator or reporter for that matter as sarah huckabee sanders did last week with nbc s hallie jackson, stupid? just the toxicity of it, the venom, the nastiness, no restraint, no respect for the institutions. she is an assistant to the president of the united states speaking from the white house, with the white house logo in the
washington to work for the president and develop a platform for women, go home. go home. you are doing nothing if you stand by this president. and you should think of the country rather than your broond and i ll tell you right now, sarah huckaby sanders, i feel sorry for you, i started a hashtag for sarah and get your mind out of the gutter. i seriously support new your quest for truth, in your quest foregoodness. in your quest for love of country. because you haven t paid it there yet. i m not talking about the women in the white house t. entire white house. all the men around this president. do you really go home to your wives and daughters and say this president know what is he s doing. this president stands up for women? do you do that? your wife s should kick you out. here s steve schmidt. she doesn t have a difficult job. she has an easy job. tell the truth to the american people. she s an assistant to the president of the united states, she swore an oath to the
version of the truth. we have to get back to the notion that which is absolutely correct, that most of the media really tries, the mainstream media from the washington poe ast and the new york times to really go out of their way to be accurate, factual, contextle and we do and we have done a pretty good job of it i would say by and large an excellent job in terms of the facts of this hugely complicated story. you know, we made a huge mistake in watergate, bob woodward and i in which we said the principal assistant to the president of the united states had been implicated in grand jury testimony. in fact, he had not been implicated in grand jury testimony. today i wonder if we would have been fired for that mistake.
