place on the ticket. after the access hollywood tape, people thought trump would step down. kevin mccarthy once joked that president trump was on the russian payroll. senator bob corker didn t joke when he questioned the president s confidence. and the president of state called him a moron. general mcmasters called him an idiot. this is what they say behind his back. there are charge there is to what you just said. and rex tillerson refused to deny it because he s not a liar. listen to what the former director of intelligence james clapper has to say about vladimir putin praising the president. i think this past weekend is showing what a great case officer vladimir putin is. he knows how to handle an asset. and that is what he s doing with the president. general clapper clarified, he met that figuratively, not
worked with roger stone and the third person was steve bannon who implemented a lot of the stuff that stone and nunberg came up with as private consultants for trump. trisha: and it worked but now , steve bannon s on the outside, stirring things up saying the presidency that we fought for and won is over. what s he talking about? well i mean what he s talking about is the sort of nationalist movement that involved building a wall, being hyper aggressive on immigration. even maybe engaging in trade wars with china and everything is probably done and you have a more globalist agenda. if you think about it the guys running the trump white house take trump out of it general kelly, general mcmasters, they re not exactly right wing far from it. jareduser, ivanka. it s scary trisha: gary cohen from goldman sachs. it s scary jared kushner has

was de operationalized. general mcmasters, hr mcmaster knocked national security advisor, has returned to the nsc to its proper function. so the white house as there is no need for steve bannon to be on the nsc principles committee anymore. another interesting development is foster, homeland security advisor remains on the principles committee, but his role has been somewhat diminished. he is still able to chair homeland security council meetings, though. that authority would have to be designated to him by hr mcmaster, national security advisor. there s another headline coming down to the white house today, the new york times did an interview with the president a short time ago in the oval office. the headline is a statement the president made that he believes susan rice may have committed a crime and unmasking the names of trump transition and campaign officials that were incidentally collected in intelligence documents. we don t know much more about this at the time. we don t k
