candidate had them and knocked them out of the ring. chris: less than 30 seconds, what impact can this have, he told the story, if he ends up being a witness and just a hypothetical in a case on the issue of obstruction of justice has he damaged credibility? obviously the president s lawyers were going to go after him as disgruntled employee, the book doesn t change that. chris: thank you panel, see you next sunday, we will be right back with the final word. i m ginny and i quit smoking with chantix. it takes a lot of planning to be a smoker. it s like when am i gonna be able to sneak out of here and go have a cigarette?
building which is what the president said we are not going to do. he s drawn a red line on the use of chemical weapons, he is now acted twice because of that, but a much different story when you will go in, a, confront russia and confront iran and what they are doing to support regime and i don t think that s a line that the president is willing to commit to but we do have to take steps in minimizing the use of these weapons, we ve done it with north korea, we ve done it with russia, we sanctioned and we will continue to do sanctions on syria and i think that s where the president s leadership is that we are going to respond and in this case we had allies with us. chris: jennifer. two points, lieutenant general mckenzie did say the two spots does not prevent assad from firing in the future, there are more spot that is they choose not to hit because of civilian casualties, i think what we have to look at is that the opcw, those are the
really a bad show for democracy. totally unseeingly. chris: jonah, your thoughts about the come by book, both the facts and his characterization of the president? yeah, i largely agree with chuck. it would be outrageous for the former fbi director to sit on damming news so he could monetize it a year after he s fired. if he had anything truly damming he needs to give it to mueller and couldn t say anything. i expected to book to be atmospheric, the problem for comey is he is trying to get down on trump s level while seeming on the fray for another. that s a hard look for a polished politician and he doesn t pull it off and it leaves diminished. he reminds me during the republican primary when when the chris: marco rubio. they didn t know whether to go high or low, trump, the
factually and also his opinions? i think the one thing that has brought washington together in the last year and a half is everyone at one point or another has questioned james comey s credibility, his disservice to the fbi and wanted him to lose his job and i think he just continued the narrative of flip-flopping his stories and not having a lot of credibility in the book. chris: chuck, on the scale 1 to 10, how damaging is this book to donald trump? well, my expectation was somewhere in the 7-8, 9 range, it came much more in 4 or 5 or maybe 3 range. look, people it s like everything else, people are already predisposed to think the president are going to think ill of him and vice versa and what you re look for is real powerful nugget of brand-new information, not just the atmospheric of how i felt, maybe i was listening, that s atmospheric, i don t yet see a blockbuster new fact in
the evil and the despicable attack left mothers and fathers, infants and children thrashing in pain and gasping for air. these are not the actions of a man, they are crimes of a monster instead. chris: but i want to pick up on this discussion that i had with the ambassador and i just had with jonah, the president seems to be saying, one, if it s conventional weapons it s okay we are going to accept it, maybe he s not it s okay but we don t do anything about it, but if it s chemical weapons we will, to further slice the meat, it depends how bad a chemical weapons attack can you argue it s a reasonable policy to say, we are not going to get subbing intoed this civil war, we are not going to get on the ground, we will not stop the slaughter but enforce the principle no chemical weapon? if we have a policy, that must be it because that is the
