that both parties tried and failed to address, and i m doing something. that s bad news for a guy like joe biden who s spent a half century on the stage and has nothing to show for. ed: remember bob gates said joe biden was wrong about every major reform policy decision for the past two decades. one of the most sering indictments on joe biden, particularly because he likes to fancy himself as a foreign policy exe permit, which he s not expert, which he s not. ed: absolutely. colin reed, thank you. pete: this is the biggest assignment that president obama gave trump. what s the biggest problem? north korea. colin reed, thank you for your time. jedediah: a new york times article we re going to sound off on next.
president s latest insult directed to somebody on the campaign trail or some other controversy of an insider turning on the president. it is really hard to measure and these things always seem sering and po to quote chairman grassley, if there will be woman senators, it is a lot of hard work and will they step up. you could not write better campaign literatures for democrats. let s see how the party is able to capitalize on that. this brings out the republicans inner cave man. i am not sure where they are going with this. none of this is helpful in november. you kn we ll see a demographi
ing about brett kavanagh. let s go to anaheim first to steve and steve, you mentioned a moment ago, we re a little bit behind schedule here waiting for the 44th president to begin. what can we expect from him? right now, we re hear iing a lot of pop music, trying to keep the crowd hyped. they ve been standing for quite some time now awaiting the former president to show up. about 800 strong that have packed this relatively small ballroom. you can see the people packed pretty close together. they re excited to hear remarks from the former president, specifically after he gave remarks to the illinois crowd. some of the same rhetoric. the sering indictments basically against the republican party, against the administration, against voters who he sort of characterized as complacent in a lot of cases, trying to get people hyped up ready to vote. and particularly is a big issue
report on the trump administration. you all have, too. you talk to staffers and more sering about him than his liberal critics are serving the guy is a very depressing and for many of them scary experience. i never had an experience like this in reporting not defending what they re doing than somebody needs to be doing there to keep it from going off the rails and so there s a lot in the book i think that can be questioned and there are some misstatements of fact and things that people denied and watching a president without mental competence for the job act within it, you don t need the book to tell you that. it s playing out every single day. joy, you know, during the commercial break i asked michael if he had anticipated that the story about this book would be the president s mental competence. he said, no, i didn t really anticipate that s where it would be but in reaction to what ezra just said, all of us questioning it, i did the first 25th amendment show in this
about this book the more people want to read the book. yeah. that s ezra, that is an important element, the very basic doesn t understand cause and effect and passages about that in here. and we it s almost having read the book, i feel like i can write the current chapters of it. we know that there were people in the trump white house trying to get him not to comment on it, not to have a cease and desist letter. it s created a huge controversy, hubbub, and virtually everything major in it we have confirmed elsewhere. we see every day. it s almost strange to be having this debate over, you know, whether or not so and so-called him an idiot when we know what rex tillerson called him and never denied on television and i report on the trump administration. you all have, too. you talk to staffers and more sering about him than his liberal critics are serving the guy is a very depressing and for many of them scary experience.
