of nato for not paying enough tore the upkeep of the alliance. that s a topic that could come up in the context of this meeting. the other thing that s cooking is the nation s effort to bridge a pretty ugly dispute between saudi arabia and cutter. you ll recall that president trump thrust himself into this dispute earlier this week with a tweet in which he appeared to take sides with the saudis against the cutteries. subsequently the white house has been working hard to kind of smooth over that rift. can you te cutter is a major base for military operations. the president could talk about that as well should there be an opportunity to move past the comey issue. by the way, mark, nicolle wallace, former communications director in the bush white house is here with us in the studio as well, as is former new york congresswoman elizabeth holtzman as is katy tur.
focused with general mcmaster after peace through strength after a confusing foreign policy. neil: did the comey issue come in? even when the president argues there s no there there and people are saying, for example, comey s latest written testimony that they will pounce on tomorrow, that the president was not being targeted in an investigation? did that come up, if for no other reason that it does distract from what he wants it to do? i don t recall that specifically. what i do recall is a discussion about the democrat whirlwind noise that is out there trying to distract us from keeping our eye on the ball and doing the things that the people elected him and us to try to accomplish. neil: do you have concerns that this could the timetable for this could be delayed? i think the president is pretty firm and resolute he will do the things he told the
that was two weeks before the election. i was watching your show and you are like, not happy i have to say. i know you re fair and balanced but you are not thrilled by the numbers you are seen. the last two or three week period was amazing. you start is seen different numbers. the point is, we re supposed to lose, all three. not only would we lose all three but they thought perhaps it would be the greatest election failure in the history of this country. and i said that s bad. but i worked very hard and we ended up winning all three instead of losing all three. it became one of the great successes. i will tell you that i think they re doing better than that. justice jeanine: your agenda is not getting out. people are caught up on the comey issue. i agree. justice jeanine: how do you get rid of comey? the press office is one thing the vice president says another.

dangerous and pretty bad. and it s interesting to me this comey issue has arisen after a short period whenever the white house seemed to be able to put a little bit of a lid on those leaks. this has happened and the president doesn t want to be so unhappy about it. we re seeing all those leaks pouring open once again. ben, the the washington post is writing the white house system failed with the comey firing but trump is the one who pushed the buttons. let s take a listen to what senate minority leader chuck schumer said earlier today. there s a crisis of credibility with the president. i mean, so many things, there s so much factual fabrication and then back sliding and contradiction. ben, how much of this is self inflicted? it s almost entirely self inflicted. if we re just to take the comey firing, trump made the decision. he got some light push back from his aides, but his aides in
