is not just what general mattis said about the oil, but what he said about the use of torture. this differs from what donald trump has had. so there is an important moderating effect that mattis is having on trumpet and the administration. also stabilizing effect. because trump has said, i do not agree with defense secretary on the torture policy, but he would defer to him. these are critical points in terms of sending a message of stability. there is a motif that has developed of the good cop and the bad cop. chooses a secretary of defense that understands that that is a war crime. and trump says, i don t know, i m going with this guy. and it gives him latitude, gives mattis latitude. as rex tillerson goes around and talk to people as secretary of state, he can say, i am with you, i get it.
in that uncertainty and anger on your targets, that will be trump and his administration. absolutely leak. i don t think there is any truth from that spread we heard that from the cia directors. they are never going to do that. it is so far opposed to america s safety interest to ever withhold that type of intelligence from a sitting president that to your point, maybe it does not have to be true to cause rumblings around the common people, but absolutely. i do not think any reasonable person would believe that. a month ago it was not clear that the president would work with or believe the intelligence community, that was an open question. he was at war with them. he said my guys are doing a good job. we are going to get the right answers. he is content with his team and they are going to figure out and give him the right information. that to make every american, regardless of how they feel about the president, reassured. i echo everything you said. i echo everything chris said
do what obama did, and try to fully them, then you will not end the leaks. you will drive, because there is always an incentive. this is the thing that people forgot spread if i believe that i am a prisoner of conscience inside the administration of fillmore, and i decide that i m going to leak on him coming and i m going to make him look bad, there is a reward for me, even if i get because, even if i get fired, even if i get sent to jail, there s still a reward for me. i may be a hero to people who are ideologically like minded to me. it might be lucrative in the sense that i could write a book, do all the stuff. a martyr of sorts. there is always going to be leaking that will have its adherents, and i say to that, thank god. it doesn t even, some of the stories that have been planted like the one in the wall street journalence bem president trump, it does not even need to be true. we just plan to, and then foam
presidents day, make america great again. wishing himself happy presidents day. happy day to me. donald trump during the campaign, during the election process, master or reading the american people, what they need, what they are not getting. the american people also feel like they have not been getting the straight story about the administration. donald trump decided on saturday taking the message straight to the people. i would take this any day over the passive aggressive, let me be clear, i know better than you do a tears that we just came out of. who could you possibly referring to? he knows better than anyone. at least you know. we have to move on. i could talk bad about that all day. a potential brewing as lawmakers has that obama administration are leaking material from the white house to damage president trump. calls for an fbi investigation. that is next.
paid him external lists are, and commentators exhausted about talking with it, and i want to get in a place in the media where we can have a rational conversation that is not so emotional on both sides. or have a laugh about it, because rush limbaugh said that they have a formula, a blueprint for destroying republican officials that they do not like. it is not going to work on trump. it is comical to watch. we had a good chuckle so far. you look at ronald reagan, the process was not particularly a friend out, and he handled it in a different way. i preferred it, personally. he recognized, they want to make me into this type of person. i m going to play it against them. i would only say this with deference to the leading talk radio host and the great success that rush limbaugh has had to, donald trump is imparts a creation of the press. hello. successful exploitation of
