North korea for the first time. Jesse let me get your reaction to james comey. Spspygate has blown into the atmosphere. As far as i can tell its made up. I dont know where hes getting that from. Do you find that to be possible or probable that there was a spy inserted into his campaign by an Intelligence Agency . I dont find it possible and i know it not to be true. Jesse maybe James Clapper had different take on this. Lets hear what he had to say. Was the fbi spying on trumps campaign. No, they were not. They were spying on a term i dont particularly like, wont russians were doing. Were the russians trying gain access and leverage and influence. This is what they do. Why doesnt he like that. He should be happy. Each should be. Jesse who do you believe, the liar or the leaker . Wait comes down to is james comey lied before congress so many times. His Deputy Andrew mccabe lied to the fbi on three different occasions. Clapper and brennan probably perpetuated the worst crime in political
to his kneejerk reaction. i think there is a lot more that do that share ryan s view and they ll talk about it on in the background to you but won t say it publicly at all. what is interesting, ryan repeatedly defended trump and not until he s out of office that he will say what he fully thinks which is similar to bob kosher and flake. he did help get the tax cuts, the tax cuts through congress. he did at least as far as republicans in the house were concerned, get the repeal and replace of obamacare through the house. he was in in many ways trump s ally. legislatively. but he wouldn t comment on tweets when trump was in office. he was a republican who didn t

the words written by the republican senator from the state of tennessee, bob kosher, who called the president an utterly untruthful president. is president trump a liar, senator? i don t think these comments by senator corker are helpful at all. the other thing he said this morning is that the lunch and meeting was going to be nothing more than a photo-op. i expect it to be substantive. we had a good victory last week and we are likely to have a very positive step over in the house this week when they pass the budget the senate already passed. i view it as a coming together in terms of plans to actually fill in the details and get the tax cut actually passed by both houses and sent to the president s desk. i would i would take issue with senator corker in that respect also. this should be a lot more than a
