before we came on. i actually think this is a dichotomy of what people think of america and trump. i think people are beginning to understand trump does not represent the american values. he doesn t represent the values of most people who voted for him. so i think there is this, i think people don t consider trump a legitimate president. he was obviously elected and all this business, but he does not represent american values. george w. bush did represent american values. our numbers went down as a result. trump is so far off the screen about what people know about americans that i actually don t think he is he is doing damage to our place in the world and our economic clout for sure. i don t think people divorce donald trump from the united states of america. i was going to say the message in some sense. yeah. how do you expect a person without any core values to represent our country s values? is how i would put it. right. i think when you look at the asylum issue, i think
with you. this war of words, unprecedented war of words that he s having with his chief justice john roberts. it all started when the president criticized the ninth district court of appeals and john roberts was asked about it. the president said that it was an obama judge. justice roberts said we don t have obama judges, trump judges, bush judges or clinton judges. he went on to defend the independence of the judiciary. president trump has been slamming justice roberts ever since. again this morning on twitter, writing justice roberts can say what he wants but the ninth circuit is a complete and total disaster. it is out of control, has a horrible reputation, is overturned more than any circuit in the country, 79%. judges must not legislate security. president trump again lashing out during that remarkable q & a that we just witnessed from his estate here in mar-a-lago. take a listen to what he had to say. we re getting terrible decisions from the ninth circuit
into your xfinity x1 voice remote. a guy just dropped this off. he-he-he-he. all right, today president trump received a rare public rebuke from an unlikely source, the chief justice of the supreme court. john roberts was responding to trump s attacks on a federal judge by temporarily blocking his asylum ban. well, you go to the ninth circuit and it s a disgrace, and i m going to put in a major complaint because you cannot win if you re us, a case in the ninth circuit. this was an obama judge, and i ll tell you what, it s not going to happen like this anymore. all right, chief justice roberts has remained silent as president trump has insulted the judiciary time and time again. but today roberts broke his silence and released this statement. quote, we do not have obama judges or trump judges, bush judges or clinton judges. what we have is an extraordinary
scott. this was the language of a strong man despite. i m trying to keep you safe and these judges are doing what? they re applying the law. what an outrage. remarkable war of words for the president of the united states to engage in with the chief justice. will the me follow up with you, harry. why, given what you re saying and the chief justice and chief justices historically have been reserved. why do you think, in this moment, he felt the need to speak out in this way? my bet i thought about this. my best sense, it was an accumulation of many things. we have seen from the president an almost elevation. he s almost on steroids on his attacks of the rule of law in the last couple of weeks. and i think it just got to a point where the dam broke and the chief justice felt pushed to do this. he s never done anything like this before. and i can t think of an
