allude it to. it happens. i want to talk about the washington post headline. part of the weight gain, white house stabilizers gone, trump calling his own shots. 14 months into the job, trump is increasingly defiant and singularly directing his administration with the same rapid and brutal style he hoend leading his real estate and branding empire. aids tended towards cautious and consensus, figuring more likely to encourage his rash instinct and act upon them. do you think things will stabilize in the white house once the president s new cabinet picks are in place or is this what we re experiencing now the norm? i think this is a new normal that contemplated life with a chief of staff. it was pro punktory profunctory. he ran it through his own gut
all right. let s play it by our numbers. the president mentioned north korea severn times, isis 6, ira 3 and afghanistan only twice. we are still at war in that country. thank you for joining us here. you have this washington post headline. it comes after the guy who is supposed to be involved in the region warned against this so called bloody nosed thing. explain this here. so he is a hawk on north korea. he is not a hawk in any stretch. the fact that what he is saying some how off foeended the administration. it is a strike that lets him know that the u.s. is serious about enforcing whatever red lines we established. to me what we learned didn t necessarily come from the state of the union.
prior to the election, that s one section, but any kind of conversations that happened after the election has nothing to do with collusion with russia about the election? that s makes total sense. kimberly: right? right, look, the journalism side is gun in journalism. it s all about is gone in journalism. it s all about click bait. explain that to the audience. you have a headline in this case that draws the reader in. the content is something completely different. in this case, washington post headline was jared kushner now a focus in russian investigation. if you read the story, you have to go five paragraphs down. the post says, the post hasn t been told that kushner is a target or the central focus of the investigation and he s not been accused of any wrongdoing. kimberly: exactly. what drew me in only to say he s not the focus when the the headline said he was the focus. click bait. kimberly: dennis, what do you make of this situation? i mean, really you ve got p
chaos and is still held up in the courts, he was supposed to help the hill, and that was a stunning failure. everything that steve has touched has not really gone that well for donald trump, so i think while he has a connection to the base, he wants to see results at the end of the day. let me ask you about this washington post headline. it was suspected that carter payne was acting on behalf of the russians. i spoken to him and he said this is nothing more than a political hit job. he said he every eve met the president. it would be huge news if we department have so many other fires going right now. i just, i was a foreign policy advisor on senator paul s ca
to help the neediest among us. ainsley: so not quite the same as the washington post headline, right? here to talk about it is congressman arrington. thank you so much for joining us. thank you, ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. you spoke at a hearing last week on march 28th. then you read the article in the the washington post. you probably saw the headline. they didn t use your quote in this article that they were talking about what you you said in front of hearing. what was your reaction when you read what the washington post had taken what you had said out of context? it was ridiculous. it was such a blatant mischaracterization of what i said. anybody that would watch that video or read my remarks knows that that was a misrepresentation. i couldn t believe that a news organization as reputable as the washington post would allow such reckless and irresponsible journalism. fortunately, there was another peer pressure put on them and they were called out so often after that
