other than 140 characters or less of bluster toward kim jong un. what he needs is to talk to the chinese and say, look, you can support north korea or you can do business with the united states but you can t do both. if we are able to say that and have the chinese believe us, then i think we can push beijing in the right direction. up to now, they have not seen political will out of the united states when it comes to north korea and they haven t taken us seriously and this has been the case for a couple decades now. if they think we re serious, we might see chain start to help us. gordon chang, you are excellent on this. thank you so much for coming by. as we are waiting for the president to speak there in long island, here in new york, this comes amid this whole civil war wh within the white house and on air force one, the two brothers, as anthony scaramucci referred to them the other morning, cain and abel here, this is anthony scaramucci, the chief coms
i don t get it, saying reince priebus is psychotic and schizophrenic, using expletives. saying they are cain and abel? tom: one of them. juan: what you re seeing here jesse: and then the president is saying the exact same thing about bannon for the last year. and then scaramucci says it and it s a big deal and they are sympathetic? juan: you can try to pass this off no big deal. everybody move along. something big is happening here. it s hurting the president. it s hurting our country. you can see the division by the way. not only in congress among republicans but even among republican commentators. when you get laura ingraham, charles to back charles krauthammer and newt gingrich saying that scaramucci is full of himself, maybe you should stop jesse and say this is serious. let s not bring up obama again.
people. the two of them talking about being like brothers, he referenced cain and abel. this is about who is going to win out. i think anthony scaramucci is acting in that way, that if he s going to survive, he has to absolutely destroy the other person. jeff, people always said about donald trump as a businessman with his own company, that s how he ran his organization. he sort of liked the chaos, he liked competing factors. does the president do you think this is fine with him? fdr called this the competiti competiti competitive addhocracy, to get them to go crazy with one another to get the results. i think that s the style here. the white house communications director has communicated, it s safe to say, today. somebody new to washington. i hear by all accounts he s a great guy, nice guy. doing something like this on the record with a reporter is not
