republicans, they re single seekers of re-election, right? most people that are elected, that s their motivation. they re looking at this thing going he threw jeff sessions, who was the first elected republican of significance to support him under the bus terribly, going after him in a very disrespectful way. even democrats were coming to the defense of jeff sessions. paul, does it come with risks for the republicans. first, i love republican on republican violence. i wanted to give you a thrill tonight. i didn t want to interrupt. the truth is, they re damned if they do and damned if they don t. the president s approval will drive the midterms, it will. if he stays at 33, the republicans are in a lot of trouble. if he goes up to 63, the democrats are in a lot of trouble. and you can break with him or not. i don t think voters are going to care, because they do all vote with him 90%, 95% of the time. many of those votes are pro forma, but still they do. i think the rubber will
you know, it was a learning curve. and he as he said to me for sure. i made a mistake. i own this. it s interesting, gloria, because his communications plan for the white house. right. which was dated june 30th was leaked today. and it was actually pretty good. i mean, i actually thought it was really well done. i liked it. improve the culture, good ideas are welcome regardless of source, potus can choose to feet with the media but coms cannot. also express appreciation for good and fair reporting. there are a lot of good ideas there. he also said, don t leave for the night until you return every reporters phone call. i really like that. he said you also have to lead by example and that was kind of his problem because he didn t lead by example and he got a little his star was shining a little too bright. uh-huh. for the president. paul, you re saying who leaked it? who leaked his whole tirade
from all over the world. back now with the panel. paul, what did you make of that exchange? certainly among, you know, some conservative viewers or right-wing viewers, they ll see that as a great victory by mr. miller. yes, but it s his job there to build support for the president s plan on the hill and with the public, so people who already like it, very, very conservative folks, that s fine, they would like it anyway. they would like it if he had no press avail. his job is to try to build support. from that perspective as a former white house aide, that performance was astonishingly bad. i m sure the president likes it because he likes people who beat up on the media. but in terms of achieving his objective, after mr. miller finished, did we get one member of the house or senate that said, wow, i m for your bill now, mr. president, count me in. your guy, miller, has persuaded me. i couldn t help but think of ronald reagan. i went back and read the speech that president reagan gav
honestly say i am shocked at your statement that you think that only people from great britain and australia would know english. it s absolutely it reveals your cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree that in your mind no, this is an amazing this is an amazing moment. this is an amazing moment, that you think only people from great britain or australia would speak english is so insulting to millions of hard-working immigrants who do speak english from all over the world. back now with the panel. paul, what did you make of that exchange? certainly among, you know, some conservative viewers or right-wing viewers, they ll see that as a great victory by mr. miller. yes, but it s his job there to build support for the president s plan on the hill and with the public, so people who already like it, very, very conservative folks, that s fine, they would like it anyway. they would like it if he had no press avail. his job is to try to build support. from that perspective as a
what he said happened. again, to jeffrey s first point, yeah, these are minor things and probably a lot of people at home who voted for him think, you know what, i don t care. all politicians lie. i guess my question is if you re lying about the stuff that doesn t matter, what happens when it s actually stuff that does matter? all people lie. politicians lie more than people. i get that. are politicians people? i actually like politicians. but i do think well, in the gospel of luke, jesus says whosoever is dishonest on little things will be dishonest with greater responsibilities. this is timeless wisdom, people do know this. we don t want to analyze whether it s a phone call or personal. but it s a banner. we re going to have to save the breaking news banner when the guy tells the truth. i would disagree that it s not a big deal. i ve been talking about the fact that trump s character deficit is a problem, because when you are given this level of responsibility like the pr
