tape of mr. stone suggesting destroying evidence, he is now indicted on tampering with witnesses testimonial evidence. what do you think of that exchange and the really unique relationship between these two men. this is not a coffee boy. this is not a rhando. this is a relationship that has gone on for 40 years. it s obviously very deep. you don t attend someone s parents funeral unless you re close. so it gives me that same reaction i think that neera has to this notion that trump hasn t considered a pardon, and i would take it even a step further and say when your response, when you re asked whether you would give them a pardon and your answer is well, no, i think his defense is doing pretty well on its own. and when ultimately that person s crimes involve you, this is just a remarkable thing, and we ve become so numb to what this president does over and over again that that s almost passed without comment. we shouldn t let it pass without comment.
it s something a master marketer like trump understood during his campaign. the tax law ultimately did do the opposite. do you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy? i do. i do. including myself. i do. i am willing to pay more. and you know what? wealthy are willing to pay more. we ve had a very good run. all this reverberating amidst the backlash to starbucks millionaire howard schultz who cared to think he would be channeling popular opinion when he called senator warren s tax ridiculous. co-founder and ceo of the coffee company la colombia which makes about $100 million a year. carmichael got his start as a barista at starbucks and opposed schultz s independent bid for president. you have endorsed elizabeth warren. i have. thanks for being here. what do you think howard schultz misunderstands? and do you think it s partly because he is living a certain type of billionaire life?
right. and it also goes to the unique situation of even with a more traditional president what happens when you have these open probes. you did have a president bush sort of go in a more traditional manner towards what was independent or special counsel probe into the leak of a cia officer in that case. you wonder how does the chief of staff deal with such a tricky situation. stay with me. it s a good prelude to bringing in andrew card. you know a lot about this at a high level. what do you think, sir, of the way the president is talking about this, the way that mr. stone is going out in public, i think the most measured way i can say it is it is a bit different than the way the bush white house dealt with its open probe. i can t imagine doing what is taking place right now between all of the conversation that comes from the president, what roger stone my advice is to
a leaker inside trump s white house just revealed tons of new details about trump s work day, and how it doesn t involve much traditional work. three months of trump s schedules now splashed across the news site axios which reports over 60% of trump s day consists of what s generally not considered work in the federal government. open time where trump watches tv or lounges around. the white house has famously dubbed this executive time. other insiders have joked about how e-time is watching tv, reading the paper and responding to things on tv. we documented how trump works less than other presidents, golfs more and let years pass without even filling federal vacancies that only a president can appoint. what s new tonight beyond those reports is the sheer detail of these internal calendars. the trump never wanted the public to see them, and this may
without using that kind of public brawl. well, first of all, nobody likes a special counsel or a special prosecutor looking at things. that s discomforting. my job as chief of staff was to keep the white house functioning to help the president do his job, we did did quite well, and i give credit to the people who worked at the white house who saw their responsibility as helping the president do his job. the other thing is if you re confident in what you have been doing and that you ve been complying with the rules, regulation, laws and expectations, you have nothing to worry about. so, yes, the president sent the signal that we should cooperate with the special counsel or the special investigator that was doing his work, and we think we did, and as a result, there were results. those results ended up being overturned in the court, and then there were different things that happened along the way. and eventually, a pardon came to one of the individuals involved. he never got charged wi
