describe a disengaged president who spends one-third of his time shaping policy, two-thirds on ceremony and public relations. i think he has a very good mind when he chooses to use it. unfortunately, i don t think he chooses to use it. he lives unfortunately in a world of norman rockwell and the readers digest and a world of 40 years ago he remembers nostalgically and it is not the real world today. testing one, two, three. we re at the ranch in santa barbara, california for the president s going to ride horses and chop wood. i got stepped on. oh, boy. this is not for me, honey. oh. there we go. there we go. there we go.
he was said to be frustrated by their role in shaping policy. reportedly telling multiple people when kelly was brought on board, quote, those days are over when ivanka can run in and lay her head on the desk and cry. and the trump presidency that we fought for and won is over. we still have a huge movement and we will make something of this trump presidency. but that presidency is over. it ll be something else. now his next moves are being watched just as closely as he rejoins breitbart and reportedly considers launching a tv network to compete with fox news channel. for instance, the site is keeping up its pressure on national security adviser h.r. mcmaster and the president. the headline this morning references the then bannon on friday said, i feel jacked up. now i m free. i ve got my hands back on my weapons. someone said it s bannon the barr barian. i m going to crush the
different requirements. but i think we have something that is really going to be excellent. and as most of you know, the obamacare has had tremendous problems. i won t say in front of the democrats. i ll say it to the republicans. it doesn t work. bill: former arkansas governor mike huckabee out of florida this morning. governor, nice to have you on a monday. well, thank you very much, bill. i thought the president last night showed some great sense of humor when he talked about the fact that not everybody in the room would love what he said. that was a nice touch. bill: democrats in that room, too. you attended these meetings for 10 years, what are they all about? yeah. well, i believe it could be one of the most important assets that donald trump has that he doesn t yet really fully realize. the governors of the states have such an important role in shaping policy. far more so than congress and governors are pragmatists at heart. when you become a governor, you have to live w
nobody pushes back. nobody. in addition to that, obama care, tax reform, those are critical political issues that will be key to the success or lack of success of this particular president. no president has ever existed without realizing the single most important thing, vital thing a president of the united states does is order young men and women to war. we have three men, thoughtful men, mattis, kelly and now mcmaster in position. they know war more so than anybody else around donald tr p trump. they are actually anybody who has gone to war automatically becomes a dove. david ignatius, this has to be helpful shaping policy. especially, david ignatius, when you have lost your sob to war like kelly has, it changes things. he does have thoughtful generals around him. he has thoughtful generals,
todd. the white house advisor not defending michael flynn. not saying the president has confidence. he avoided the question completely. i have not seen anything quite like that before. that is cutting flynn off at the knees. seemingly deliberately so. i have not seen that before either. part of that is the white house internal politics. flynn is concerned he is not having the access to trump that he has had in the campaign. miller is more from the bannon camp. there is some kind of conflict there in terms of who has power and who has influence in shaping policy. i don t know if miller was trying to suggest that flynn perhaps should not be in a position that flynn hopes to be in. can we listen to steven miller more about alleged voter fraud. something there is no evidence of voter fraud. listen to this. voter fraud is a problem in the country.
