access hollywood, and if he s rebringing up the barack obama citizenship, that would be a concern to you? it would be a concern, but the white house isn t saying that. as a matter of fact they re saying just the opposite. they re saying they re taking the same position they took during the campaign, which is those issues were acknowledged and in some cases apologized. the people i speak with at the white house, i m not hearing any of these push back on the access hollywood tape or more on president obama and the birther issue. but that s not to say that s not being said. that s not what i m hearing from a large group of people. to the question of if he s competent to be president, and people were talking about bringing in his doctor, and you all remember the modern-day patch adams. i don t think it s com it s com
that. there were people who said that about barack obama. as a matter of fact, donald trump himself insinuated that the president i am not talking about anybody else. let me get my point out. this person before he was president led this birther movement which many people deemed as racist, no one called for him or say it was a fire ball offense from the apprenti apprentice. why the double standard? don. we are analyzing the situation, why is it a double standard here? with all due respect, multiple radio shows of the birther issue and how i thought it was absolutely wrong. there were plenty of people that were conservatives that were calling in saying that he should be fired from the aprenti appr
you play very conservatively and you play it safe and i think that s basically what she tried to do. she thought she was probably going to win. she didn t take any chances. this might factor into her personality, as well. of course, donald trump was out there sort of gripping and donald trump was on fox. donald trump was on nbc. donald trump was on msnbc. donald trump was on abc. donald trump was on cbs. donald trump was on every single person who pretty much asked for an interview. and fought back when there were huge accusations against him. i have to give credit where credit is due. i m sure initially he didn t want to do an interview with me because my last interview with him was on the night that bin laden was killed. we had a huge back and forth about the birther issue. i spoke with him. we talked about it and there i was doing interviews with him.
figure out how to get along together or the future belongs to asia and china, all right. so the most powerful thing the president can do not as commander in chief, most powerful tool the president has is the tool of the bully pulpit. the moral authority of the presidency matters. the president should step up and be a lot more vigorous in attacking this and not giving equivalence to both sides here. joe biden is right here. there s only one side here. the president needs to step up and speak strongly out against this sort of hatred and separatism because it s actually going to destroy our country. rick, let s get real. let s go back not just a year and a half but the last five years. president trump questioned the legitimacy, i m talking about the birther issue of our first black president barack obama.
his birther issue. this is how he responds. look, i read, you know, russian state media during the french campaign, watching the macron victory, the french campaign. it was brutal. the fake stuff and the lies that the russian media was putting out about macron. one wonders if emmanuel macron will try to school donald trump in the effects of the russians in an election. i think he will. i think they are genuinely concerned about the instability that this is causing in our electoral systems. i think the world wants to hear president trump say, i agree, and i want to work on this, as well, rather than it s a hoax or i won the election. those are not the response that s are appropriate or legitimate for many leaders anymore. this is the combative nature of president trump. we got another glimpse, again, with reuters yesterday talking about the meeting don jr. took despite the e-mail warning that
