it is terrific. i can t recommend it highly enough, honestly. the boat takes a somewhat different approach from others about trump. you are trying to analyze trump and his actions. good luck with that. you are examining republican fans who did his bidding law contradicting their own conscious. they were calling trump crazy, they were rolling their eyes behind his back. mark, can you share some of the most egregious examples of that? who? what they did? do you know why they did it? great question. i want to emphasize the point you made earlier. i did not sought out to try and write another trump book. i was not looking for a series of the newest bizarre anecdote to come out of the oval office. i m not going to do any better job psychoanalyst in why donald trump does what he does better than anyone else. i was mostly interested in the people around washington, the elected officials.
but complying with the subpoena. they re not steve bannon but not happily going in there so they re pence world is in an awkward position of trying to follow the law and the rules but not particularly wanting to be where they are and not wanting to be in this mode of standing up to donald trump. that is not as you said for seven lock years we waited for him to do this. his political future as i heard it described to me is trump lane without the trump crazy. the tweets and making policy on twitter that no one knows about. i could be the policy without that personality and this situation he is in makes that lane nonexistent for him. i m years from the campaign

he spilled his guts to bob woodward. it s all recounted in the book for everyone to hear. the attack tell speaker pelosi, who is bashing president trump because of calling president trump crazy, mental decline, and he says speaker pelosi, i agree with everything that you re saying, and then it tries to tell the armed services committee that he is apolitical. he is the most political general that we ve ever had in american history. prove me wrong. there s no general in american history who s been as political as this guy. that s why he is incapable and not trusted to continue to fill the important position that he fulfills. laura: can you imagine eisenhauer putting up with any of these people? i mean, it just it would be gone. thank you, great to see her tonight. and last night s virginia gubernatorial debate, democrat terry mcauliffe made a stunning and telling declaration, that parents had to stay out of what the children are being taught in schools, don t have any control w
question your understanding of our constitution, your loyalty to our constitution, your recognition and understanding of the civilian chain of command is despicable. republicans have accused general milley of going outside of the chain of command because of reporting in that book by bob woodward and robert costa which said milley told senior officers to make sheer he was involved in any potential launch of nuclear weapons by president trump. milley also confirmed he did speak about that with house speaker nancy pelosi, but insisted toot he didn t agree with her reported comments calling trump crazy. he said he wasn t qualified to assess anyone s mental health. wolf. alex marquardt reporting for us. thank you very much. i want to dig deeper right now with the journalist, bob woodward. he s the co-author of the new book entitled peril which was obviously on so many members minds at today s hearing and yesterday s hearing. first of all, congratulations, bob. i know it s just emerge
