you get angry. you walk away. you come back. you re like, what do we do? that never seems to happen. sometimes it does. for instance, you see what he said on syria then obviously john bolton and mike pompeo and others got to him and now he s walked that back a bit. same thing on afghanistan. he s walked it back a bit. there is evidence of him doing that at times, chris. and i think that he does do it at times on issues that i think are vitally important in our national security. but let me get to who gives him good advice and who doesn t, right? that is important. i believe in the old adage, garbage in, garbage out. in the beginning he had a group of people around him like steve bann bannon, rick dearborn, like omarosa. what the hehell was somebody li omarosa doing in the white house? we were going to have the best. we didn t because jared kushner, rick dearborn, and steve bannon decided it was more important for them to have control than it was for the president to get a well-pr

kind of people away from him so they d have greater control. bannon is gone. you always hear the same story about people who work with kushner. nice enough, smart enough, knows nothing about what he was doing. we don t know why he was here, had to tutor him on this. president keep putting him in those situations. let me ask you about one thing in the book without giving too much away. if you have the books page 535. so, context of when the president went to comey and said, be easy on flynn. okay? people say, well, you know, where was his mind? is that really obstruction? i m not going to get into that with a seasoned prosecutor like you, but in context, you had had a conversation with him, it s in the book, at one point during the lunch, donald said to me, the russia thing is all over because i fired flynn. i started to laugh. sir, this russia thing is far from over. what do you mean? he said, flynn met with the russians, that was the problem, i fired flynn, that s over. that s right
