walks the walk like a lot don t. this president is proving he has the backs of these american heroes. eric: so moving and astounding about yesterday s event the president brought them some of the agents up. they didn t know they were going to talk in the east room in front of the world basically. one officer, border patrol officer, told about how he opened up the back of a truck and found 78 people who were illegals trying to come in and saved their lives. also others who were able to capture ms-13 gang members and take a lot of drugs off the streets and by doing that saves lives. we saw first-hand what these brave men and women of the service do. you know, it s the sad thing is they do this every day. last year alone border patrol saved over 2,000 people that were going to die if they weren t rescued by these border patrol agents. you don t hear that. they want to vilify these men
eric: how about those who say you don t have anything to worry about in a perjury trap if you just tell the truth? that s true. but just take for example what the president said about being able to run the mueller investigation if he wanted. that was i took that as a joke of bravado. it is an extension of the legal advice he has that he has lots of flexibility. he says things which get him into trouble and people take seriously. he is not the kind of witness that giuliani would like to put on the stand. eric: he also said if i say something that he, comey, says something and it s my word against his and he is best friends with mueller so mueller might say well, i believe comey, maybe even if i m telling the truth it makes me a liar, it is no good. eric: the one man jury is robert mueller. sandra: he can believe whatever he wishes to believe. president trump puts things in
anything about the special counsel provision that is allowed to sort of subvert the powers of the president. of course the president is absolutely right. he can do whatever he wants. he can fire all these people and get involved if he wanted to. the point about it being politically unwise is a fair point. it probably would backfire quite a bit. but nixonian. the end of the statement is i m going to let it happen. he kept saying i m going to let it happen. is he trolling us? we focus on his words. sandra: what he won t let happen his legal team is making it clear through rudy giuliani. the interview says the president said, you take a look at what he did in congress he gave, leaked, lied, if he say something he says something and my word against his talking about this being a perjury trap
pompeo and nielsen. the pentagon is very concerned about iraqi refugees coming to the united states. it is not the idea that there are too few, there are too many. they have a program set up to bring refugees who work with the federal government and contractors to the united states. a couple years ago they were up to 5100. it fell off to 3,000 last year and only 15 this year. they want to hold that out there as a carrot to bring good people to the united states. in the case of this suspect how do you separate the good from the bad? sandra: chad on that story for us. thank you. music at times taking a back seat at the vmas last night on mtv, the awards show targeting president trump with some profane insults. was this out of bounds? eric: a controversy over con federal monuments. they knocked down a statue on the campus of a prominent university. the a-team is on deck with both
and best friends with mueller. mueller might say well, i believe comey. even if i m telling the truth it makes me a liar. that s no good. is that a legitimate concern? absolutely. i think his lawyers are smart to keep him and i get the sense that the president is coming along to that point of view. all along he said i m dying to testify and he does testify every day on his twitter account by weighing in on absolutely everything but i think the story we saw in the new york times last week about don mcgahn testifying, the president did waive executive privilege. that s a very significant thing. eric: he weighed down in that article said don mcgahn said he didn t see the president go beyond any legal requirements. that he didn t break the law. exactly. it does reveal that i don t think the president is concerned about any real issues. he is concerned about walking into some trap where he says
