in. well, i don t know. it would ve been jim mattis and before him h.r. mcmaster. those are two points that trump made that i had a lot of confidence in. there s a lot of chaos at the department of defense, obviously. we don t have an acting secretary right now. joan bottlon s views on iran are clear. he s a hawk on it. i think he s committed to wanting that regime overthrown. if we could get it overthrown, that would be fine. but the question is how and at what cost. mike pompeo, we ll see. this is a testing period. sometimes people rise to the moment. sometimes they don t. but if you ask me right now who i have confidence in the administration, i d say there are not a lot of them. but my chief worry is the president. he is the commander in chief. that s where the decisions ultimately are made. peter, good to see you again. thank you for joining me. he served in three republican administrations, ronald reagan and both bush white houses and the author of the death of politics.
meanwhile, here is a reminder of what the president told the new york times about robert mueller possibly looking into his finances. this was in july 2017. mueller was looking into your finances, your family s finances unrelated to russia. is that a red line? would that be a breach of what his actual i would say yes. our guests remain with us, peter baker, maya wylie and tal kopan. you were in the room for the very recording. fast forward to now, a lot of talk on this broadcast and others, that the president s chief worry should be southern district of new york. he should worry more about the cumulative effect of 17 or so other investigations. but today, these manafort documents may have an effect of kind of refocusing the mind on one robert mueller. well, that s right, of course, mueller is the one big, big piece of this investigation.

my piece in the new york times, a week after trump announced. i was very worried about him. i thought he would redefine the republican party. that wasn t my chief worry. my chief worry is he would hurt the nation, i think he s doing. i think he is leaving a crimson stain on the republican party. the worst he gets the worst they get. it s not just that donald trump is corrupt but he corrupted an entire political party virtually. that s important what you say and have written. it s bigger than the t word become an obsession for the people that support him and concerned about him or hate watch some of what s happening in the country. the larger concern is paul ryans, mitch mcconnell s people s names we may not know going along for things they initially ran for office claiming to be against. you write a republican party that put ethics, morality and
