the tide moves away from him. i don t think it will. i think there s something lasting about the movement that he s building. but if it goes in the other direction, this is how they look at it. the conservative agenda, the tax cuts, deregulation, the judges are great, but all this other stuff is bad. now, he has a rally tonight in montana, so who knows what s going to happen, what he will say. but his reaction to this is still going to have a political impact. and i thought of all people, ben sasse today with hugh hewitt, i thought, expressed what i think is the real danger for the gop in november. take a listen. i mean, the drama of this op-ed, the drama of the woodward book, the drama of the omarosa tapes, the drama of cohen, the drama of manafort, the drama of just the three-ring circus that is the white house almost every day, i think that it exhausts the american people and i know that the founders would regard anything like this as, you know, really unhelpful. you don t run t
special counsel office. spent 30 hours talking to don mcgahn. and one paragraph that says they don t think they have talked to don mcgahn at all during what happened during the campaign. everyone says, and the president likes this narrative, this witch hunt about whether the trump campaign colluded with russians. that is how it started. but as soon as the president fired his fbi director and said on television, he was doing it because of russia, it became about something else. the president is his own worst enemy. and omarosa started because the president tweeted about her. it would be interesting if what comes out of this has nothing to do with what happened in the campaign. the new york times reporting that they were talking to him about the obstruction of justice case.
night, thank you for including me in your plans. thank you. always nice to spend a friday with you, chris. what s really going on inside of trump s mind right now? why does this make sense for him to exercise power this way? anthony scaramucci thinks he knows. i also want to ask him about the omarosa tapes. there are reports she could have as many as 200. he was mentioned in her tell-all book. what does he have to say about that? anthony, next. let your perfect drive come together at the lincoln summer invitation sales event. get 0% apr on select 2018 lincoln models plus $1,000 bonus cash. the doctor s office just for a shot. but why go back there. when you can stay home with neulasta onpro?
this pushback that you are seeing from people like bill gates, who don t get into the political scrum, as well as the former agents, i think suggests that the president sort of did something without thinking through the consequences, which we have seen before. i have to say, you can t look at what the president did to john brennan outside the context of the omarosa tapes. in other words, the press release that was sent out about brennan was dated a month ago. this is being used to distract from a lot of bad media about the white house. the fact that sarah sanders and others are the ones in charge of this, as we now know in terms of the reporting, in terms of when they will release future security clearance withholdings, suggests this is all political. i think the intelligence community will survive this. but i think it shows how
even more upset in light of the insider threat that came to light with the omarosa tapes. but don mcgahn at the white house has a variety of if you asked him to fulfill. he s there to advise the president on critical legal issues, for example, whether the president should use his executive authority to arbitrarily revoke security clearance. these are the things you want the white house counsel to be weighing in on. it s going to take time away from performing other functions, and is the president going to trust him and listen to him as much. i want to turn to what he s saying in his tweet this morning. he says has anyone looked at the mistakes john brennen made while serving as cia director? he will go down as easily the worst in history and since getting out he s nothing less than a loud mouth, a political hack who cannot be trusted with the secrets to our country. patrick, our reaction?
