Other parts of government. and i think what s also interesting, trump a lot of his mistruths, let s say, or untruths start with a kernel of truth. and his administration has in fact been tough on russia. his administration has put out even more sanctions against russia, wave after wave of sanctions against russia. the trump administration has expelled russian diplomats and intelligence operatives. however, that wasn t trump. the reason i m saying trump administration and not trump is because they re often two different things. it s like this two-headed hydra, and our allies abroad, as well as our adversaries in moscow often don t know which head to listen to because there is the trump administration and then trump himself. i got to go, julia. when trump wanted to veto the sanctions bill, moscow took notice. thank you very much. i m out of time. thank you so much. i appreciate both of you. william barr says he and robert mueller are good friends. the president seems fine wit ....

rick, you know what you say. everything trump touches dies. why would barr even want this job right now? what s in it for him? why go back into the meat grinder? it s one of the great mysteries right now. the argument in his favor is he is an institutionalist and a guy who believes in guardrails and systems, and the doj s integrity, and on the flip side of it is this is a guy like everybody else in d.c. has been compromised in some way by trump and trumpism. i think there is really a great question of the jury still being out about barr. i do think he will be confirmed. i think that they re going to have the votes to confirm him because the alternative is what? matthew whitaker, the hot tub time machine guy? i just don t i deon t see ho you have a scenario where the senate does not confirm this guy. rick you have a way with words. thank you. i appreciate it. senate republicans breaking with president trump to move ....

it s interesting when you say that. sure. and i digress a little bit. it s interesting when they were interviewing people about brexit, much obamacare and the affordable care act. they just thought it was something good. they didn t know. i think they knew they wanted to give the middle finger to europe. i think that s basically all it was. what that actually meant in practice, what that would mean for the free movement of people or of goods or the ability to fly on to the continent. they didn t think i through. they didn t think it through. that s in part because nobody thought it would pass. in the same way people didn t actually expect trump to win the white house. so people didn t think through what was actually going to come after election day. so the president says that no one has been tougher on russia than he has, right? but in actuality, it s congress who has been tough on russia. some of these things, some of these sanctions they had to put into place. obvious ....
