principal, and you have to make a structure that works for that. what i said before was the three-person structure doesn t work. and that s not just an aside, that s the key to it. now you have one person the president has said who is in charge from a staff perspective, and i think the big key for general kelly is not only to have that empowerment from the president, which he seems to now have, and also jim baker said it very well, he said this to me during the transition when i interviewed him and he said it recently. the chief of staff has to remember to be staff and not chief. ufr you have to work with your staff, make them feel comfortable and let them know we re rowing in the same direction. you re saying this will work potentially if bannon and jared report to kelly. everyone must report to the chief of staff other than the president of the united states. because that s not how it works. we still don t know if that s how it s going to work. i read a comment this morning
him the first time. he went in for seconds. well, if you re going for seconds, i ve always said this whether it was my town hall meetings or any place else, if you give it, you re going to get it back. that was a mellow reaction from a new jersey governor to say you re a real big shot. most folks think they can say anything they want. public officials are not meant to be public punching bags and i m at a ball game with my son enjoying the game having no interaction with anybody on public policy issues or anything else. i don t think it s the right of anybody to stand up and swear at you and curse you out. i ve gone through this on the boardwalk and other places and always had the same response. i ll ignore it when it first happens. if you persist, you re going to get a reaction. thank you for being here. good luck with the opioid crisis. thank you. before we say good-bye tonight, there was a moving it ceremony at the white house, vietnam war veteran james mcclune begame the first
as somebody who has issued statements, apart from being no consequence, the characterizations are inaccurate, misinformed and not pertinent, that is not specific to anything in the report. that is not saying the report is not true. that in no way says the president didn t dictate the statement. that just says there are things in the story that aren t true and we don t think the story matters. that s not saying that donald trump didn t actually dictate the statement. and it makes sense to me that trump would be the person who dictated the statement because it s a transparently stupid thing to do. so the only person who would have the means of overruling everyone else is the president himself. because lawyers wouldn t be that stupid. lawyers wouldn t be that stupid, because everyone would understand the times isn t telling you everything they have. you have to assume they actually have the e-mails. you have to play a few steps ahead and assume that the times are going to come b
person who had the standing to do that was trump himself. mary katherine, the only thing about the russian thing, the scandal, whatever you want to talk about it is they re sure acting guilty. i don t know if there is any there there. we ll see what the fbi and mueller and the house senate committee comes up with. clearly the right thing to do would have been to be up front about this. it s a shame that they were overruled. this also points to the ability of the president to let the lawyers deal with this, particularly since his children are involved and he s probably emotional and protective of them. and also to keep staffers protected, by keeping them out of the room when this happens. if that keeps happening, they will get themselves in trouble even if there is no there there. josh? i think this partly stems from the way donald trump has dealt with the media in the past. if you re talking about a real estate deal to the new york post, if you re talking about
to receive the med it will of honor by president trump. the young army medic risked his life nine times to save the lives of his fellow soldiers. it has been nearly 50 years since the actions that earned veteran james mcclune this medal of honor. for the former army medic and men he saved in battle, the days are forever seared in memory. between may 13th and 15th 1969, his team charlie company was attacked three separate times. according to the army, both platoons were ambushed two, helicopters were shot down, grenades landed within meters of the troop s positions and there were heavy casualties. second day, we lose our only other medic we ve got and that s dan shea and i got him and got his body. now i m the only medic. then 23-year-old mccloughan was left to care for his company by himself. according to his company he repeated by ran into the fray to
