Again from our Head Quarters in new york. This was day 90 of the Trump Administration. When he said last week he was sending an armoda, while we hadnt heard that word in a long time and conjured sailing ships more than battle ships, it made sense in response to the provocation against north korea. And he made point about the submarines being more powerful than the Aircraft Carrier and as Nuclear Weapons launch platforms, they are but we dont normally discuss the movement of our submarines. The phrase run silent, run deep comes to mind. But when hisefense secretary and National Security advisor said it, they were all wrong. The carrier carl vincent and the strike group that sails with it, they were thousands of miles away and steaming clear in the other direction. Here is the Administration Last week on all this verses what we heard today. Why the Carrier Strike force to the Korean Peninsula . Well, its prudent to do it. The president has asked us to be prepared to give him a full range
I hope we can again rely on humility on our need to cooperate, on our dependence on each other, to learn how to trust each other again and by so doing better serve the people who elected us. Two speeches, two american leaders. Which one sounds president tool you . Lets get to the president ial historian, Kirsten Powers and Rick Santorum of the senior political commentator and matt lewis. Tim, youre first. The historian on the panel. Heres what President Trump said. Political correctness for me is easy. Sometimes they say he doesnt act president ial.

That i can tell you. First of all im not sure how many president
people want to hear walter chronkite said that s the way it is. on my show people want to hear what i think the way is. he was remarkably consistent in the topics that he chose, in how he delivered them. he did with such confidence and bluster and he was able to fill an hour and make the it compelling and it s worked across fox news with other personalities. it s worked very well on msnbc with rachel maddow and lawrence o donnell. he really changed the way what people expected from cable news. cnn always said that the news was the star. that wasn t the case once bill o reilly came along. personality became what cable news is about and he was the biggest, certainly on his side and he had a lot of influence. you wanted him to be on your si if you were a politician. weren t we saying this when
horrible thing. donald trump didn t run to be presidential, he ran to shake things up and to be different. snatthat s a good point. that s why so many people may have voted for him. maybe they didn t want someone presidential. but he opens himself up for criticism. and who sits there and says i am the best? humility goes a long way. if i said walter chronkite had nothing on me and edward r. muro wishes he could fill me shoes, it s ridiculous. even if one thought that, they certainly wouldn t say it. come on, man. i m not a historian. but i would say you go down the list of people like lincoln and these august figures that we revere. it s been said before but maybe
