down. no, jim. you have to own it yourself. you have to own your own actions. when he tells half the country that we re enemies of the people, how can you stand by that? joe, you re not my enemy. this is why it doesn t work. we re shouting at each other. i think you re a good man trying to do your job. i think the president is a good man. he has the right to set the rules as how he briefs the press. that s his right. on that note we re going to leave this conversation. i m sure there will be many more down the road. good conversation, guys. thanks very, very much. there is more breaking news we re following. president trump asking for military options to use against north korea. tonight, there is national security advisor is warning of an immediate threat.
