past and present. the real problem is trump said woodward is fair on tape when he called the writer. listen to this. it s really too bad because nobody told me about it, and i would have loved to have spoken to you. you know i m very open to you. i think you ve always been fair, but we ll see what happens. we re going to have a very inaccurate book, and that s too bad. but i don t blame you entirely. well, accurate is nobody has ever done a better job than i m doing as president. that i can tell you. that s the way a lot of people feel that bob. i believe in our country and because you re our president, i wish you good luck. it s not a fact. it s how the president feels, and that s h. you heard that. i think you ve always been fair. the proof of what is in the book is also shown by what trump said. no one told him that a guy like
respect than that. i m sorry. no. what s new in here, chris? what s new? look, i think that you have this depth of concern about the confidence in the president of the united states, the extent people go to to protect him from himself. now you re going back to the quote where gary cohn is alleged taking a piece of paper off his desk. there s others. mattis about what was said to do with bashar al assad. i m out of time. we ll talk about this more. the book s not even out yet. it s out next week. we ll get a second bite at the apple. congratulations to ayanna pressle pressley. it s an extraordinary victory. congratulations to her. it s just happening now. we re trying to get miguel to get her if we can. gentlemen, thank you. thanks, chris. all right. so, look, when it comes to this woodward book, it is relevant this isn t the first time we ve heard about this kind of chaos in the trump white house. it just is. why? because when things happen more than once, when you he
president, everybody is out to get me. when you read that book, you have to think maybe donald trump s right. people are out to get him. to be fair, there is nothing in the mandate of woodward s book that is about him looking at the russia probe. it s about the style and the substance in the white house and how they do the business of the american people. that s what it is. it is not about whether the probe is right or wrong. well just to be fair to woodward. well, he had that as a potential purview. what s been going on in that investigation has been a key part of what the white house has been dealing with. i appreciate you coming on to make the case from the president s perspective. always welcome on this show. i appreciate you giving me the opportunity to do that. we ll do it again. chris ruddy, thank you very much. so how about the sum of substance of what you get in the book? it s not on sale until next tuesday. it s already number one on amazon. what we ve done
we ll test that notion. and colin kaepernick is the new face of nike. can you guess who s not happy about that? we have the response that nike was banking on. what do you say, my friends? let s get after it. all right. now, this is not just another book, okay? this is one of the most respected journalists around, bob woodward. you know his name. that tells you much of what you need to know. now, on a day that the president expected this to be all about his chance to leave a lasting impact on the supreme court with the kavanaugh confirmation hearings, instead his aides are disputing whether the white house really is, quote, crazy town. here to help us sort out fact from fiction, ceo of newsmax, friend of the president, chris ruddy. always good to see you, sir. glad to be on. now, let s just start with this ain t omarosa, okay? if we were going to have titles on tv. she has a lot of tapes.
you can t say the same thing at the same time. let s split the two things. he has been a successful businessperson. he has a very lavish lifestyle that shows off that business success. he hasn t been a public company operator. he hasn t been an asset manager like me, but he has built good brands. i know a lot of people who have lent him money for these business projects that have made very good money a lot have lost money too. you re talking about something different. you re talking about his operating style and his management style. yes. is that management style working, okay, in a way that everybody likes? or is it happening despite that? let me address that. so his operating style and his management style, he needs help. he actually needs somebody in there that actually likes him, somebody in there that gets his personality, knows when to call him on stuff that they disagree with, but do it in a enough of a deferential way where he s okay with it or he s not flustered
