to his fitness to be in this office. is he a threat to national security? the president. he certainly could be. again, having some understanding of the levers that a president can exercise, i worry about frankly, you know, the access to nuclear codes. what do you think of the former director of national intelligence coming out saying that david? startling, frightening and everything else. there s another phrase that he use, i don t think the thing that he s crazy, i think he knows what he s doing he did clarify and didn t mean he was crazy mentally but he s saying fit for office. there was a phrase he used where he talked about the complete and ethical void that
that s tax reform. he will push and mock mcconnell and how republicans are going to respond. again, if this default happens it s a disaster. mcconnell and him reportedly not getting along right now. go ahead garrett. i think david raises a point that s worth elaborating on there. this is a situation right now that where we re seeing this type of concern about the president and we re seeing these types of numbers. in a situation where the president really hasn t yet faced a crises not of his own making, and where the economy is still strong. if we see ours in a situation at some point in the fall where a foreign power or outside actor is driving a crises that the president has to be responding to, or we see the economy began to weaken possibly in response to a government shut down or the
of the united states. and once that confirmation comes through the first american s icbm leave their silos four minutes later. boy, okay. thank you garrett, david and nia. appreciate it. i want to turn to ambassador former cia. thank you so much. this is the former director of intelligence james clapper what he had to say about it. here s what he told me. having some understanding of the levers of power that are available to a president, if he choses to exercise them, i found this down right scary and disturbing. this behavior and this divisiveness and the complete intellectual war on effort void the president of the united
about the president s fitness. you heard there was a recording between two law makers, i believe it was susan collins and one other, they said thing i wouldn t repeat. david what do you think of that poll? it shows this is all taking a toll. he s not working or getting anything done. he s shown he s throw anyone under the bus to score a political point. the only people he listen to are the generals who surround him in the white house and the more foreign speeches have been about foreign policy. but it s not working. he s not getting anything done. why would you take a risk for this president if you re a republican in washington. september is going to be a critical month and i think a very ugly one for this administration. interesting. why is that? the debt sealings approaching. they have to talk of budget.
lot of hopes that he d stay on script and be presidential does i change anything for them? that s the question, i think we saw something of a tipping point this week. mitch mcconnell clearly thinking it was okay to go public with a lot of the grum lks that people had privately about this president. you re right to raise that issue, what that means when they get back to washington in tomorrows of what they do to support this president s agenda and their own agenda of trying to maintain the majorities in the house and senate. i think we have seen something totally different in terms of what that means for legislation, unclear. we don t know. david rogue, i spoke with former director of intelligence, james clapper on the show, he surprised a lot of people when he questioned the president s fitness. take a look and we ll talk about it. i really question his ability
