just talking about. again, the vetting is done by the civil service, by the fbi there is an fbi background check. they have to do that for every new person coming into the administration. they call your second grade teacher. they call your neighbors. they the all of those things that is done. that is one of the permanent functions of government. i just i just don t get what what is he clinging to here? when he says he was treated horribly, what is his objective when the president says that? he is the one who fired him. i think that the president feels any time the military is disrespected in any way, shape or form in his mind, that it s absolutely horrible. and yes, we should respect. actually, isn t it that he feels that he had to fire him because of what the press did to him. right. so he is indirectly blaming the press. would he have not have fired him if the press didn t reveal he lied. all right. we have to take a break here. evan siegfried, thank you for joining

two former presidents of colombia were at mar-a-lago. according to a senior official they were invited by a guest who has membership at mar-a-lago and they bump under to the president, shook his hand, said a simple hello. i am told that that exchange only lasted a few minutes and that was the end of it. but, of course, in terms of that miami herald report they actually talked politics. the future of colombia. when i pressed the official, look, this was a very short exchange. no time to discuss politics on that level. but, to the broader point here, hallie, the fact that the president was able to meet or greet these two past presidents and the press didn t find out about it until days later really raises questions about mar-a-lago, how much access the public is getting to some of the discussions that he s having there. now, of course, if you had two past presidents coming here to the white house, likely, they would be seen by a reporter or someone else. it wouldn t take a few days to
granddaughter is born. the problem is there is a problem when a flawed opinion by a single judge can block the president of the united states s congress constitution n constitutional rights. we re talking about a 90-day temporary ban on six countries, some state-sponsors of terrorism. it s not a muslim ban. there is also a pause on the refugee program. let s go back to what we re discussing. at the end of the day, i think the american people will side with trump and the supreme court will, as well. you re taking it back to the policy. yeah. a ban on the countries. mostly muslim countries. should jeff sessions have said island in the pacific? you know who didn t like that? the senators from hawaii. of course he could have been more articulate. again, take it back to the issue. people want to say it is a muslim ban. nine of the ten countries with the largest muslim populations aren t on the ban list. it s nothing to do with the
