number one guy, tillerson, i thought was a big mistake because i wanted the job. but i think pompeo s terrific. pompeo s terrific. right. listen, i m not arguing about pompeo. not whether he s terrific or he isn t, but certainly he s got a pedigree that would put him in play. i think kelly is very, very good. has a pedigree as a general that puts him in play. but you have 34% attrition already in the people who have had turnover in the cabinet positions. you ve had a cascade of wild cards go in and out of the white house. omarosa is a reflection of who the president puts his trust in. fair point? she didn t have a high position. so clinton went through two people before he got an attorney general. he got two of them with nanny and donald trump put pete sessions in there, who was supposedly his best friend, and now it would have been jeff sessions, not pete sessions. pete sessions is a good congressman in texas. if jeff had a nanny problem, probably a lot better.
he won. look he s got the 42% approval rating by the people across this country. that s higher than reagan and carter and clinton at that time during their presidency and a lot of people are not looking so much of his tone but at the results he has in the white house and that s the most important thing to them. mark, we heard from both katrina pierson and glenn patton, omarosa says she taped the conversation. it is plausible, what do you this i? anything is plausible when you talk about omarosa and donald trump. e everything he says and done reflected of a view of ideology of consistently using the n word and if he does not use the
i was closer to him than she was. i was from about june to november, i was with him 24 hours a day. the first wikileaks exposure, he was completely surprised. he asked me, do you think there will be more? i told him, i have no idea, but i heard some reporter on cnn, fox, i don t know where, saying assange has a practice of putting out the weakest ones first, that he builds it up, builds it up, builds it up. i said, i think this guy may have more than that. we were surprised every time they did a disclosure. she was not as close to him as i was. if she s saying this and if it s not in the book, never said it before, i don t know if she was interviewed by the special prosecutor or not. it would be interesting if she ever said it to him. would they tell you if they had ever spoken to omarosa? no. so they don t have to tell you any no. we would only know from our joint defense agreement if she had a defense lawyer who talked to us. that s not the case?
in the campaign but it was circulated by omarosa and her alone. athena jones, cnn, new york. thank you, athena for that. president trump claims the n word is not even in his vocabulary, i am going to ask my next guest if he believes that. sfx: [cell phone dialing]
joining us, good luck, okay? thank you. when we come back, the trump campaign taking legal steps against omarosa claiming that she violated a non-disclosure agreement. is this the kind of thing that s as business as usual for trump? ! like my father before. [telephone ring] like my father before. ahoy-hoy! as long as people talk too loudly on the phone, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.
