brouwer. i will call you cate a.b., because we have another cate, co-author of cnn politics cover line, kate ben net. good to see both of you ladies. kate a.b., we start with that video, a lot of wonderful moments for the first lady and she kind of reviewed some of that during her speech, her remarks there in italy, but this moment, this video that keeps going, you know, that has gone viral, what was happening there, did he nudge her off the red carpet and she was like forget it, i got it, i don t need your hand now, what do you read into that moment? well that s how it looks. they re a private couple. we don t hear a lot of leaks about their relationship and it s just it s a stark contrast, right, to the obamas who were constantly affectionate and bush 43, you know, w. and laura bush, and then nancy reagan and ronald reagan. we re used to overtly
obama because he secured the iran nuclear deal. they say one of the end ms. of saudi arabia. he then heads to israel, the vatican, and brussels, sicily. a chance to reset. you can bet all the scandal there s follow him here. er appreciate it. now let s go back to my all-star panel. the chief of staff. bush 43 is the director of speech writing. do you think this can be a reset? it does gave chance to reset the narrative. the narrative at home is not good. you have to be strong at home to provide leadership abroad. i think he is set up to have a good trip to saudi arabia. i think he ll be well received by mr. netanyahu in israel, despite the recent flap.
probe has reached a senior white house adviser. somebody close to the president. given that, do you still believe that a special counsel was not necessary? i think as long as it is an intelligence issue and the issues being talked about pertain to classified documents is that who has the right to receive them, who should be their names disclosed, yeah, i think they should keep the jurisdiction. if a white house senior adviser, somebody close to the president is being investigated, do you trust that this administration is properly vetting people? i wouldn t know about their internal procedures about, vetting. he know the vetting procedures the bush administration did which were exacting. i would assume that they re following the same lines. micha flynn, they say they didn t know abt his ties to turkey. they say they didn t know he was under investigation. there is reporting that he alerted them early on. there are questions about vetting of michael flynn.
negative for president trump. the new york times 87% negative. fox news, however, living up to fair and balanced motto 52% negative. 48% positive. but it gets worse for president trump. turns out the media is more negative towards trump than any other recent president. check this one out. the coverage is overwhelmingly more negative towards trump than it was for president obama, president bush 43, and president clinton. so it s not just the liberal conservative thing. they are really out to get him. bernie, exposing liberal bias like fish in a barrel. it is easy. election night was fantastic. these people were shell shocked. they looked like they got smacked in the back of the head by shovels. all of them. it was almost better than watching adult movies for people like myself that particular night. they have regrouped. they have gathered themselves and now they are on the offense. to some degree successful i would say by this special counsel witness that. but the piranha press, the
it will be less leaky than the investigation has been up until now but very aggressive and will move as quickly and as far as he can possibly justify. you ve work would him. in bearing and demeanor and even his physical height, he could be comey s father. in addition to the way he is viewed within fbi and justice. and i like the paternal notion because he is someone i was thinking about him when i came out here. if you locked all the republicans in one room and all the democrats in another room which isn t too dissimilar in how they function and they d both if you did a talent search. both lists would have him at the top. they actually pick someone revered by democrats and republicans. i first met him because after 9/11 george w. bush took all of his briefings in person.
