he didn t want to admit it. this is the american president talking about the roughing up of another journalist, of an american journalist by an elected official who then gets re-elected because this feel good ideas of y of we don t lik, beat their behind. he s encouraging that. here s the president. greg is smafrt, and by the way, never wrestle him. you understand that? never. any guy that can do a body slam, he s my kind. we endorsed greg very early, but i had heard that he body slammed a reporter. i said, oh, this is terrible, he s going to lose the election. then i said wait a minute, i know montana pretty well. i think it might help him, and it did. so this is donald trump s schtick, kurt, he thinks it s funny. a lot of people write it off as comedy but we showed it earlier. let s show it again, this rope, tree journalist shirt just
there is one theme here. if you look at the philippines, duterte, saudi arabia, russia, kim jong-un, they have something in common. each one of those people has murdered a citizen. and the president likes to say, i m the tough guy who can handle people like putin, instead of saying putin murders people. you come back domestically, the president does the same thing. i m the tough guy, i ve got 100 secret service agents around me, i can be tough, because they ll protect me. you go attack a journalist. and that s lyin ted, crooked hillary. everything he does, i m the tough guy and i ll protect you. david axelrod, the whole world listens to the president of the united states when he makes comments like this. absolutely. and it sends a terrible signal. but you know what, wolf, i don t think he cares about that. he s got one thing in mind between now and november 6th, and that s to try and inflame and arouse his base. and you heard the reaction in that room last night in montana. he got
relations background in congress. he he would be great. brian: joe lieberman. the president liked him. secretary of defense. fbi under consideration as well. brian: kelly ayotte. she became one of the three amigos when lieberman retired. these are good suggestions. i worked dina at the council. the bush administration. i know the president really likes her. the key in these jobs is you want somebody in that job who when you are dealing with these representatives of allies and enemies they know you are speaking for the president. that gives you an extra schtick. remember, this person basically reports to john bolton who has a job. it s very interesting. brian: good job, matt. good to see you. good to see you, brian. brian: praising the kavanaugh protesters as peaceful. remember when they labeled the tea party street thugs. calling out the bias. tracking hurricane michael as it closes in on the florida panhandle. not wasting any time. we are live in the storm
they will weigh not only the evidence that the fbi presented and testimony there, but obviously what they are hearing back home. john avlon, it is not just jamie roche who said this, but others who knew brett kavanaugh at yale. chad ludington said he was aggressive drunk and belligerent. that was brett s schtick. he could not remember things many times according to chad ludington. there are other people as well. what is the message here. i think we ignore information.
rights at all is something that is a stark statement from a u.s. president. and just because president trump often is looked at as something different than we ve seen from past presidents, and he absolutely is. what if president obama had said this about castro, for instance, we re having a love affair? it would be strange because obama isn t given to that kind of statement. no drama obama. very well spoken and reserved. trump would not say he doesn t care about human rights. he cares about human rights when he can use it as a schtick to abuse leaders of countries he doesn t care for. we ve seen that with president rouhani. in north korea, he likes giet, it s irrelevant. duterte, it s irrelevant. i think it s that transactional nature, it tonight matter if it s not in the service of the deal. that s what makes the trump
