official didn t commit a crime, do you share the concerns that this person could hurt national security? we were hearing this earlier today by the press secretary, sarah sanders, that national security could be harmed in some way by undermining the administration from within. what do you make of that? yeah, it sounds sort of nixon-like. i think our country was undermined. our reputation was undermined. we can only imagine what our allies must think of us. but the president of the united states not want to be bothered with daily intelligence briefings. not acting on his advisers advising consent issues, but instead acting on a whim. these are the things that would concern a foreign ally. they certainly concern those of us in congress. and what does it say about this administration that the vice president of the united states feels the need to go on television and offer to take a lie detector test? we saw that over the weekend to prove that the op-ed wasn t from
you got the woodward book, dozens of sources. this one is an echo if anything. this isn t a new song of this man doesn t take the job seriously enough, doesn t do it with enough seriousness, is abusive. we have to counteract him. this is not a new thought. well, let me i understand that, chris. let me just be i want to be very clear here to my friends in the white house and elsewhere that going after bob woodward is a bad idea. you know, every single president for as far back as i can remember has gotten a bob woodward and tried to say they weren t true, and they always were. so i think what the problem with the bob woodward book is people were talking to him, and some of them i think were lying. some of the things in that book, i don t believe, but i don t think it s won woodward. taking it out on bob woodward is a bad idea. the fact of the matter is this op-ed wasn t just written by a coward. it was written by someone who is diabolical, chris. but are they right about the sit

a whistle-blower and it s damaging to people who actually want to come forward and have those protections to root out real corruption in the government because this op-ed wasn t published to expose some kind of new revelation about trump s behavior. it was published because the new york times agreed with it. juan: there was no such op-ed written katie: why does a person need protection to jesse: the president did address it. we didn t catch all that. let s listen and then can react. i am part of the resistance inside the trump administration. can you imagine this? we have someone in what i call the failure times talking about he is part of the resistance within the trump administration. this is what we have to deal with. the dishonest media. you people deal with that as well as i do. it s really a disgrace. i will say jesse: it s about the trump administration and the media. dana: i think whoever wrote this is being incredibly
the president comes out with a tweet. president trump saying, caught red handed. very disappointed china is allowing oil to go to north korea. there will never be a friendly solution to to happen. is this a coordinated good cop/bad cop? i wouldn t expect it to be coordinated. i would say this administration has reflected a lack of coordination on messaging. for this op-ed, unlikely it was approved by the white house. does that make it to the president? probably not, no. when i was at the white house, i mean, there was certain documents that would make it to the president, including op easy. certainly important ones if they had to do with iran or things like that, one like this, my get is probably not, but probably go as high as the national security adviser. at least that s the case when i was at the nsc. i find it hard to believe tillerson s op-ed wasn t approved.
