what we just the montage that we just displayed, i don t think that the media at any point right now should be stooping to the same level. or choosing an entertainer who would stoop to the same level. having said that, she was very funny. i would watch her netflix special and i thought that a lot of her jokes, though some of them were really raunchy probably were very funny. but there now, why? who didn t predict it becoming a huge problem having a comedian who is a little edgy coming into the white house dinner when the press is under fire by the president himself. we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard. i think it s really having it both ways to have this woman at the dinner and then apologize for it. you own it, white house correspondent s association. you invited her. we should be honoring journalist. maybe have a more serious dinner. maybe have someone like a gold
believe that donald trump asked comey about loyalty or ask him to let things go. these are roughly the same things that donald trump has said in public. he s talked about trying to end the russian investigation in public as well. we ve heard similar accounts about loyalty from mccabe and others. there s contemporaneous notes taken by others. i think, know, realistically this is not going to move the needle in terms of a trial or an impeachment of donald trump. i think the reality is this has turned into a political circus, and this is going to turn into an impeachment hearing if mueller, you know, finds there s been obstruction of justice. in talking, daniel, to some people about this book, one of the criticism that i ve heard is that comey is sort of stooping to trump s level here, and that if he was sort of a man that he says he is, a man of integrity
certainly, we have the right of self-defense. the russians mow know that. the russians were advised in advance and coordinated the air space more this. and for this. and so, again, limited objectives on our part and limited response on the russians part. i think that s appropriate. paul: okay. going forward, to you see a strategy here do you see a strategy here, a larger strategy by the administration going forward in syria and what our role there is going to be in the days ahead? well, i think they re certainly focused on syria. their concern is, obviously, the sustainment of a leader that is stooping to use outlawed weapons of mass destruction against innocent civilians. it s more complicated with by the fact that the iranians are there, the russians are there, the turks have different objectives than we do there.
sent a letter last weekend to the u.s. president and here s what they want i just like to read a short excerpt of it they write imposition of stooping tariffs could trigger a chain reaction you know so-called trade wars as we ve heard javier just mention of negative consequences for the u.s. economy proving retaliation stifling u.s. agricultural goods services except except for a clear does the trumpet ministration seem prepared to deal with what could be a strong blow back air. well in a word no for now the tariffs on aluminum and steel are popular in rust and rust belt states where steel workers are hoping to see this protect their jobs and in many ways this is trump s effort to make good on his campaign promise of saving american jobs and getting tough on china but this could be devastating for u.s. consumers and some economists think it could actually cost jobs for people employed in the steel and aluminum industries so with china already threatening retaliatory
making excuses, but i don t know how long that s going to last. because literally, he is his own worst enemy. look, sarah huckabee sanders said, look, the american people knew what they were getting when they voted for him. i don t know if people really expected this. there was all this talk about a pivot or he s just doing this to get elected and then he s going to take care of business and so forth. let s take her at her word. it s frankly like what you hear a dispute after a real estate transaction goes bad. where s my deposit, where s my escrow. you knew what you were getting. in this case, though, if there s buyers remorse, people have to be treated like adults. you re old enough to be held responsible for the implications of your vote. how will this not get in the way, this tweet, this stooping to this low and talking about a woman like this, i don t care if you re on the left or on the right or whatever, how will this, on a, i don t know, an
