if i could make one national security recommendation to the president it would be stop watching judge napolitano on fox. this may be the only time where the country would benefit from a national security point of view if the president of the united states were watching cartoons in the morning instead of something else. sorry, that s funny. he gig lz every time he says that. i don t think that s going to happen. i don t think that s going to change. you don t think he s going to watch ka toons? he s a 71-year-old man. this is how he operates, how he processes information. pipe in the bear channel. gorilla chan. the gorilla channel, sorry. this is what it is at this point as far as these things go and as far as the fisa issue. i mean, it s interesting that he had some understanding of what was going on. certainly the white house did the night before kind of made public what their position was. maybe he was confused about there was an amendment on the table, they were voti
right? if they re not answering the questions, what is the standard? can he do this? like you said, if the memorandum doesn t say that, can he continue to do this? they can pursue this, yes. they can assert that he has no legal basis and that he cannot sort of prospectively say, there may be an assertion, and there i m not going toons. they c to answer. they can say, that s not good enough and you may be held in contempt of so answer or don t answer. but this is not only a former member of the senate, a former member of this committee and a republican member of this committee, that s who leading the charge. let s get back to the hearing for a second. senator dick durbin, democrat from illinois is questioning jeff sessions right now. you remove a violent criminal from america that s illegally in the country and airsed by chicago police and put in a chicago jail, that once they re released, they shouldn t be turned over to the federal i.c.e. officers so they can be removed
of the sky. his brother in disbelief that his brother could be behind the deadliest mass shooting in american history. there s not anything i can say. how do you i mean, my brother did this. this is like it was done like he shot us. martin savage joins me now. martin, there are so much questions because every time we get an update we learn more. the arsenal is bigger, there s explosives, but the one thing we don t have any toons at all, and i know it s early but usually by this point there s some sort of inkling but we don t have any inkling as to the motive and why. no, none at all. if the authorities have it, they re not giving it out. but they have no idea it seems.
so under this lens president trump would be a cartoon in a human world. cartoons don t have to follow the rules. they are the exceptions to the rules and can make their own rules, at least until humans catch up with them. i have famed director rob reiner as well as michael steele. two dramatic and insightful men. rob, what do you think about understanding donald trump as a toon? i think, you know, that s that s demeaning toons. this guy is below toons. he is in some kind of other level. if you went into an office in hollywood and you pitched the idea of this idiot becoming president of the united states from a reality show, they would throw you out of the office. but i have to say one thing
if you follow that analogy, president trump would be a character who managed to write and direct. new york times column nest said something interesting about this. she explained that trump has been able to defy political gravity by recasting himself. it s very reminisce ept of who framed roger rabbit where you have the toons interacting. trump is a toon and acting as a toon and reporters keep trying to treat him as a human. doud is of course citing the classic 1998 film who framed roger rabbit where humans interacted with the toons. and that s how they related because cartoons are not like people. drink the drink. i don t want the drink. he doesn t want the drink. he does. i don t. you do. i don t. you do. i don t. you don t. i do. you don t. i do. listen, when i say i do, that means i do.
