matter to them. here s a fun story about new york. a thug knocked out a diner in an unprovoked attack leaving him in a coma with a fractured scull. i told you it was fun. the attacker recently got out of prison for rape. i know he s probably a victim of the system. and by system, i mean what we used to call law and order. so where is he now? well, after his charge for accidented murder was downgraded to a misdemeanor, he s out on no cash bail. because trying to kill someone isn t that much different these days than loitering. and now he s free to beat and rape again. so audience, have fun walking back to your cars. [laughter] greg: because keeping him behind bars would have made him the victim. and that s his job, making victims. weren t we told bail reform was only for nonviolent felonies? but it s a bait and switch like when i order steak medium well and the waiter punches me in the face instead. once again the politicians left wing das and judges play russian roulette wi
including melania s clothes, apparently. [cheers and applause] greg: knock it off. literally, you don t rate. the news media knows trump hate pace the bills, not stories that actually affect your lives. besides, on the punishment spectrum, it s the thugs who are oppressed and you who s the oh presser. fact is until these left wing leaders feel the real life experience of actual crime they re not going to care. governor abbott sent migrants to liberal cities so they could feel the consequences of their policies. time to do that with thuggery? i d love to sent the violent felons to the burbs of the judge and das who freed him. i ll pay for the uber. of course i can t do this because if something happened to the judge or the sorrows funded da, i would be an accessory. and that s my point. i would be just like the judges and the das. when every time one of these
said we re leaving and left for the holiday. yesterday, president trump had dinner at the vice president s residence not only with mike pence and mick mulvaney but with his son-in-law as well. he is at the white house as his family, including melania, travel to mar-a-lago for the new year s eve holiday. with the president alone at the white house, we get tweets. yesterday, he tweeted out a threat to shut the border between the united states and mexico. it is unclear how serious the president was with the threat. keep in mind, a very small section of border near san diego was shut down for a short amount of time earlier this year to prevent part of that migrant caravan from going through the border but it was soon reopened. shutting the entire border would present serious problems for the entire american economy. and this is coming at a time there s turmoil in the stock market. it is unlikely the president would follow through on the promise. further, he talked about going back to the d
it s a family business. donald trump has run his enterprises with his kids in power and floating in and out and him taking personal ownership. it s difficult to run a government that way. and he s finding these challenges in the white house, i think, jared and ivanka are trying to take or at least signal they re going to take a backseat to kelly for the moment. i can t imagine that s going to last. they have a huge amount of influence with their father and will continue to try to exercise that. as does don junior and melania donald trump and eric trump. i don t think they ve signalled they re taking a backseat, unless alongside means a backseat. alongside does not mean a backseat, but i m told that kelly has made it clear that everybody is going to theoretically report to him, including them, but again, they ll have the ear of the president and be able to work their own process around kelly, i m sure. phil, thank you. and still ahead on morning joe, republican senator jeff flak
the retired four-star general urged scaramucci to resign in a one on one meeting in his office. two sources close to the president say scaramucci s profane remarks last week to the new yorker disgusted and offended some of those close to the president including melania and ivanka who had initially advocated for scaramucci s hiring. you said the president found his remarks inappropriate. can you specify what he found disturbing about that? i said he found it inappropriate for a person of that position. to do what? i believe the comments that he made, he found those comments inappropriate. i m not sure what s unclear. i don t think that it s complicated to understand that the president felt the comments were inappropriate. i can t really explain it any further than that. all right. sanders also made it clear everybody reports to general kelly. everybody reports to him.
