because the world cannot count on him or count on what he might do next. it is very, very troublesome, particularly in the complex very dangerous world we have. you ve got a crazy guy in north korea. how is this how is the president going to respond at 3:00 in the morning, what s he going to do? tweet out or do something more serious. i m very, very concerned about what this guy, what the president, is all about. you heard our justice don t pamela brown just report that the fbi james comey was incredulous, incredulous, after the president tweeted those comments those assertions about president obama early saturday morning. what do you make of the fact from everything that we ve heard the president, president trump, has not even spoken to the fbi director james comey about this? well, it s it is another very serious concern that i have and i suspect many other people have about the way that he operates as president.
very quickly, phil, you ve been around d.c., the krai, tfi the people that have to deal with real problems, secretary of state, secretary of of defense, they have to execute policy. meanwhile, you have hammerhead eyedy ole gifts, reince priebus in the oval office trying to project an image for the president, what you re going to see is those ideal lists, those people in the white house whispering in the president s ear are going to come tomorrow to toe with secretary of state and secretary of defense. and i believe the realists at defense state, et cetera, will win and i predict within two years steve bannon s gone. everybody stand by we ve got a lot more to discuss including
korea. these are fundamental national security issues to say nothing of what s going on in the middle east. here we are spending four, five days, maybe longer about one ever the president s early morning, 3:00 in the morning tweets where he s on a rant about something that nobody has put forward as factual. it was 3:00 a.m. california, 6:30 to be precise here on the east coast, that first of several tweets saturday morning. president trump has asked congress now the house and senate intelligence committees to investigate his baseless claim that the former president, president obama, tapped his phone. he hasn t specifically that these committees investigate russian president vladimir putin, yet there is plenty of evidence that russia did in fact, launch cyber attacks, meddled in the u.s. elections. does this concern you he wants an investigation of president obama but not necessarily of
staff and when there s incoming from the president i think he absorbs tlt most. and a bunch of us at cnn reported bay meeting last friday in which the president voiced his displeasure at the way the staff had conducted itself since the great reviews he got of his joint session of congress. i believe he did not want sessions to rekoouz cues himself, did he not believe there was any reason for him to do so and he didn t like being taken off track with all the stories with russia and sessions recusal when he wanted to continue to bask in the chlorof his address to the point session and policy. he would liked to have seen more wins. this is a president that said i want to rack up the wins and so far he signed a lot of executive orders but he hasn t gotten on track on capitol hill which is why they re rushing to do healthcare so quickly.
launch area. they see activity there, missile enagain testing, preparations indicating more missile launches. kim jong-un very much committed to his missile program, to his nuclear program, tonight no sign he s backing off, no sign he s giving up. wolf. those joint kper sizes the u.s./south korea joint exercises, those are continuing, right. reporter: those are continuing. there s a theory out there in the intelligence community that all of this activity from north korea is their typical response when these exercises happen. they feel they have to respond, but really the underlying message here is the u.s. intelligence community, the u.s. military simply cannot be sure what kim may do next. it may be a huge national security challenge for president trump. wolf. it may be the biggest national security challenge that he faces based on all the information we re getting. all right, barbara, thanks very
