donald trump, okay? here s the deal. a couple days ago he released something he thought was his birth certificate. we showed it on the air yesterday. it turned out that was not a birth certificate. that s a certificate of live birth. donald was called out on it. he immediately called down to the health commission and got the real deal. that my friends is what you re looking for. that s a real birth certificate, the one that allows you to get a passport, a driver s license. without it you have nothing. president obama cannot produce one of those, donald argues. there s the real deal, his birth certificate. he was born in queens. he wants to know where is barack obama s birth certificate? why can t he just produce it? he s asking a simple question, mika. do you really want to play this game? why not just cough it up? really? where is it? i think this is absurd. i like donald trump.
there are parts of the world where we could argue there are interests at stake. you can take the gates approach, saying they re not vital but interests that impact us and affect us. the other parts of this region, he ll have to be able to explain bahrain. they have a u.s. naval base. syria, it s trickier. i think did he as good a job as he s done up to this point explaining that. when we are faced with a real imminent situation why are we really doing this? what is the main reason we re doing this? i take the president at his word, to prevent atrocities. i m just saying, why are we doing this? to prevent atrocities, because we could and we enjoy the support of the world in doing it. gadhafi s army will go in there and they may start massacring people in the streets and here i am sitting there while this thing is going on before the world. and i look like a pitiful helpless giant and i don t think i can take that. and i don t think america can take that. so i credit what he
he s got real sensitivity pat buchanan just said this? if 50,000 people were dead this morning because we had not acted how would those who are being critical i m not putting you in that camp, how would those being critical of the president perceive him, and for that matter talk about him this morning? i think mccain would have been all over him. we have to get to the budget. i will say, the way this has been executed is completely consistent with the philosophy that this president brings to the table and what he promised to do. i really do. every step of the way. just to go back to something harold said a minute ago, it s about humanitarianism unless it s complicated. let s not pretend it s humanitarian exclusively. unless we have the world community. you know what s not factored into this, not just here but throughout the country and in the congress even is how irrevocably the world changed on
john hinckley as well as many other people in the similar situation, the mental institution playing cards and sort of giving them afternoons of connections with the outside world. my old friend dick allen was down there in the situation room with al hague when hague went upstairs and saw larry speaks who was replacing the deputy press secretary had replaced jim brady and had a tough time. hague saw him, he thought the whole world s watching. he sent out the wrong message. hague ran upstairs, out of breath, ran into the press room, made the famous statement, i m in charge here. yes. the reagan thing was just horrible. i mean, willie and i were talking off camera, the president went out there and jerry parr slammed him into the car when the firing started. and they took off down connecticut avenue from the hilton and parr was looking around tapping to see if the president had been hit and reportedly the president said,
