them in the face. but just beyond the trolls, when you talk about the base, is it okay, if he is just playing solely, if he is playing solely to his pabase, that s a 35% gam. is that good enough, congressman? i think what he s doing is fighting battles on multiple levels. in june there were 160 tweets by the white house. 120 of them had nothing to do with the media or politics. they were on substance. i ll give you an example. kate s law that was just passed by the house after two or three years of debate, there were a couple of networks that gave minimal or severe coverage. so the president tweets it out, and he talks about these things. i think he s not going to give up twitter, because it allows him to drive substantive issues, but just like any social media outlet, he does put some of this crazy stuff out there that keeps people reading. sometimes you don t pick i mean, this was not an endormant
supreme court or a bedrock policy he proposed during the campaign will be struck down and probably not revivable. if courts really do rely on those statements but courts can t pick and no, i m telling you. but the lower courts have, surprisingly. they have been incorrect to do it. yeah. i agree. and, by the way think everything is different. the courts have actually, i would argue, unfortunately, been strengthening donald trump s claims that they re political. right. because i m going to tell you, i have not seen a whole lot of case law where i ve seen where courts have, obviously, used debates, legislative debates but i ve not seen them skip over five or six statements where somebody backed down from an original statement and go, you know, we re going to ignore those and go back to the one in december of 15. you re a lawyer, so i ll bow to that. however, there are a whole lot
and we let them have a pass because trump is kind of throwing us off the scent with its own tweets. he needs to play a little defense. andy: that doesn t seem to be his style. on a scale of coke to pepsi, how worked up are you about this report? i m so confused that i couldn t pick. if they re trying to keep secrets they re terrible, and if they re trying to confuse they nailed it. shouldn t it be masked or unmasked, half masked where you can reveal the names, you know who this is, would there be? unmasking means hope anyone gets a hold of this, we are all dead. 32 they could do like wheel of fortune or hangman, just certain letters. i have no idea. andy: how perfect is it for trump that this is susan rice, he could not have scripted this better. he said in his original tweet, he s going to be worse
the revenue did come in it did come in and whatever prompted it to come and republicans and democrats spent it, there is a separate judgment here where cutting taxes for corporations is virtuous, not so for individuals and i don t pick and choose the benefits from that and you do. this is what i was trying to get at, debate among republicans in congress this is the political problem the president faces in trying to do what i believe and most everyone on the show believes is a reasonable economic and fiscal approach but he is not getting to it and won t get to it anytime soon. neil:he has been president for a month. he has gone to these other political issues ahead of this. he could have gone to this first. charles:i really think i am not
chuck schumer was there. he understands there s a difference between opposing people on policy and allowing them to choose his cabinet. each one of these people is unbelievably qualified to serve and bring real change to the departments. one thing democrats want are the financial records of the eight trump nominees, especially rex tillerson, who has been in charge of exxonmobil for years. analysts aren t so sure it s good politics for democrats to be so aggressively opposed to a recently elected president s picks. i don t pick will have a huge appetite for listening to eight long drawn out confirmation hearings. but i don t think that s what s going to happen. i think in the end democrats are going to zero in on between one to three, one or two and question those. you will see democratic senators zero in on their biographies, histories. it will last a couple days. people trying to become the
