of moral clarity in the president s own words. whitney: the president keeps breaking this down into moral equivalence. the outcries, he says this person is a murderer and he may be engaging in terrorism, with the problem becomes is he lacks any real authority, lacks any real passion or belief in a way that americans are looking for in terms of stand up against heat. it s always followed with but. he said murderer but there were other bad people there. those people are alt-left or liberal or whatever. it lacks any firm statement. eboni, what we need is a president who can stand up and say something that is consistent with what he said a year ago in terms of people who he believes are terrorists on domestic soil are people he believes are terrorists on foreign soil. marie: the fbi s put out
about washington and jefferson being slave owners and where do you draw the line about who statues you take down, people with blue checkmarks on twitter are saying he is comparing robert e. lee to george washington. that s not a fair assessment of what he is saying. if we want to have a reasonable discussion about some very tough issues, we shouldn t intentionally mischaracterize some of the more reasonable things he is saying while correctly calling out the last reasonable things. whitney: the problem is, because of the crazy things he says, the reasonable things get lost and he loses credibility to even be a thought leader. i think while he said bad things about nazis, he tried to balance it and said there were some good people there. the alt-left which is a term i think he invented because i ve never heard it, the alt-left is just as bad as the old right. guy: the alt-left exists. marie: i don t know where
some leaders. i think kim jong un is one of them. i really feel that in this moment, i m okay with crediting president trump. guy: whitney, doesn t this bring us closer to a position where the reinstallation of diplomacy as possible? the potential crisis seemed to have passed. north korea said okay. maybe now use the chinese and get them to the negotiating table again. may not work but i think we re in a much better place today that we work two or three days ago. i agree with eboni. i am 100% behind trump s statements in terms of this is not a situation where diplomacy was appropriate. we are threatened with nuclear warfare, that was the correct response. however, i do think the problem we are now faced with is that it looks like in some ways that, are we going to follow up on we say things like that? if we are going to go that strong and hard and say fire and fury and and brimstone, we
so being cool comes naturally. hmm. i can t decide if this place is swag or bling. it s pretzels. word. ladies, you know when you switch, you get my bomb-diggity discounts automatically. no duh, right? [ chuckles ] sir, you forgot keep it. you re gonna need it when i make it precipitate. what, what? what? eboni: welcome back to the fox news specialists. our specialists are whitney boan and marie harf. let s continue. recent reports are fueling speculation that steve bannon, chief white house strategist, could be out of a job soon. anthony scaramucci, the ousted white house communications
this, on the other hand, good news for the trump campaign, countervailing evidence. got far less attention than some of the other bombshells but this shows high-level people in the campaign being repeatedly offered opportunities to meet with russian officials although active labor which in. they said no, they said these are concerns we have. there could be logan act violations. we should talk to our allies in nato before we do anything with the russians. looked like a responsible campaign making sure they are adhering to protocol. this is not unto itself vindication for the entire story from the vantage point of trump but it s a data point it s helpful to their contention there was no collusion. eboni: i want to talk to the fellow counselor here, whitney. something that can rebut some of the narratives. at the very least, it points us in another direction. is a criminal defense attorney, i loved reading this today.
