administrations allowed it to get so far out of kilter. but we will make it fair, and it will be tremendous for both of us. my feeling toward you is in a credibly warm one. there is great chemistry. i think we are going to do tremendous things for both china and for the united states. bret: you can see former iowa governor next to him, now the ambassador to china. your thoughts. i have a bit of a different take on it. i don t think it s that much, that much of a dramatically different approach. donald trump is very good at playing his audience, whether he is trying to get applause or gasps. when he s on the campaign trail, the china thing. they would scream out china like at a lynyrd skynyrd concert to
they re pure fiction and they re outright lies. was the access hollywood tape pure fiction or outright lie, because i m pretty sure he said they can grab him by the you-know-what. you can do anything if you re a celebrity. trump s lawyers are trying to make it go away, but if it comes back, it would be at a time when the harvey weinstein scandal is high. with us is attorney gloria allred who also happens to be representing four of the weinstein accusers. gloria, i remember on the campaign trail president trump said he was going to sue those women. what happened to that? well, he did not, but i did ask him to retract, stephanie, and of course he did not retract his statements calling the women liars. so we filed a lawsuit against him, a defamation lawsuit on behalf of summers zerbos in january. we are litigating that.
whatever is behind his departure, the president certainly talked up his good friend carl on the campaign trail. carl endorsed me. watch our trade deal. it stwings china. i got carl. carl is supporting me. i have carl ready. killer. killer. i ll put him in charge of zion take china. trade with china. do me a favor, work it out. give each one a country. they ll make a great deal. i had the best negotiates in the world, carl icahn. the greatest negotiators read the art of the deal. no exit pollers said carl was the reason behind their vote. it s clear his validation was important to donald trump. just something to keep in mind in case over the next few days you hear the president say about mr. icahn, he joined later in the campaign but he s good guy.
. last thing before wechlgts after charlottesville a whole a lot of people abandoned donald trump this week. ceos from big business made history by abandoning a republican president. another panel on infrastructure fell apart before it was put together. along with a very important name to this president, carl icahn. he s resigned as special adviser to the president on regulatory reform. he insists he s gone because of a turf battle, not the normalization of hate groups. whatever is behind his departure, the president certainly talked up his good friend carl on the campaign trail. carl endorsed me. watch our trade deal. it stwings china.
worse. sandra: it does feel like the pressure is building to have the president say something more, kennedy, in your view does he need to say something more? kennedy: it s easier to get it wired to the first time around. not that difficult, does not matter if it is this administration nor a different administration. when you get it wrong the first time, you give your enemy so much fodder, and that s what the left was waiting for. they are waiting to tie him in any misstep with the latest broad and hateful ideology. and i don t think that the presidents had enough. i don t not think he was explicit. that s why when you hear the words from vice president pence and jeff sessions, they are condemning specifically white supremacists and the kkk, neo-nazis, that s appropriate. the president went after her on the campaign trail president obama and hillary clinton for not using radical islamic terror. you cannot confront something unless you name it. and this is another one of those times
