it was quite strategy is ic. some of the trouble in our society now is the information gets out there, chris. if that information is available and the mayor just got on the job and he s looking at all the different data that s out there, it was a very good move to go first on that. and it was not impulsive. what does it mean to you that the members of the legal team sources around them are saying they didn t know? what does that tell us? i don t know. it might tell you the president is close to the mayor. the president is really trying to get this distraction behind him. that s why he tapped the mayor for this job. they are probably talk anything a way they used to talk when they were here in new york. they made a decision to do that. it came out. they didn t do a great job explaining to other people. i have been guilty of that at skybridge. what are you doing?
into me. how would you have felt about that? that would have helped your ratings but not as much as the president. hold on on. let s not dance. this is the last question. i m not dancing. i m tell you the truth. if anybody said i m going to end this investigation you guys want to play that sound bite 15 or 20 times. what would you have said? this is a perversion of justice. i went to harvard law school. i said it in public a hundred times. the things i hate about washington and the american people hate about washington. knock it off with the scandals. let the people do their job. if secretary clinton got on the job, i would have sat in this chair and said knock it off. she got the job. the american people knew about uranium one, about the 33,000 e-mails. they gave her the job. the president didn t do anything wrong when he was the candidate. let s knock it off. you don t know that. and the only way we will, the only way the president will get the closure you are givin
probe and want it to go forward. what do i do about what the american people want? i thought hillary clinton was of going to win the election. this whole business about the american people, they are different from each other. they want lots of different things. the point here is that the president has been lying about this. as a result, sarah sanders and all the people who work for him have been lying about it. the question is what are the consequences of that? legally, probably not much. can i stop you for one second. in terms of the president lying, the president said he didn t know anything about it. what rudy guiliani is now saying is he is the one who had to bring it to the president s attention. gee, you have been paying a $35,000 retainer for michael cohen. i think that s how he reimbursed stormy daniels. it hasn t been proven that the president is lying, it just
explain, please. we are in a cultural situation today where i don t care what people are doing in their bedroom. i don t care what they are doing in their bedroom if they are public officials or nonpublic officials. we should move the curve in that position and focus on the things the president is doing for the country, not his personal life. north korea, economy is booming, wages are up. all right. i predict the president will figure out a way to cut a deal with the iranians that will be a better deal than the prior administration. if we can relax on these stories. you can t pause of the credibility issue. the same thing came up at the convention. whether paul manafort and the rest of the team were lying about the plagiarism of first lady michelle obama s speech lifted into melania s speech. it was demonstrable. it was true. did it matter? no. not as awe speech. melania did a good job. she was better than expected.
is it going to be another six months? i don t know. let me give the analogy. the president will be exonerated. it is a prediction. the idea of indicting a siting president is removed legal possibility. it is not even indict. he didn t do anything wrong, chris. we don t know. you have to let the investigators do the job. i was on the campaign. you didn t see everything. you don t know everything they re talking about. a lot of it is news to you, anthony. i accept that i didn t see everything. but stuff like that, okay, those are pretty big bombshells. let me tell you something. we both know the lie gets around the earth four times before you put on your shoes. but that sort of stuff is so big in a society with smartphones that would have been out in a very heavy way, chris?
