Like being this self-styled maverick. but the thing is she s had the opportunity to explain okay, what do you want? what do you want in this bill? she s had a chance to explain to the white house, to the press. and she has refused to do so. listen, i think we can all agree john mccain not necessarily the same side of every issue we re talking aboutss here, but you kw where heyo stood. he certainly loved talking to the press about what he wanted and how he wanted to get it. i think there is a grandstanding nation about this that seems more about public relations and publicity. i don t know exactly what it is and the white house doesn t seem to know either and i think that sse the frustration a lot people have. to t the point i was making there earlier, she is the idelog in this. when he voted down the republicans attempt to try to repeal obamacare, he was standing up toca the idelogs in his party because it had wide support among the americane public. she s doing thepp opposite. of de
That would be quite angry. yeah. well, you kw, where did that urag go? i mean, that is courage. i mean, you have the biggest prize ever right in your grasp and you make a decision to say there is principles bigger than that that i ll not violate even to grab the presidency. i don t see that courage in my party or your party. what do you think has happened? i think it doesn t win elections anymore. and the saddest way i can say it. and i think that, i think about that moment and where we are at politically a lot, and i do think that if i could go back in time, and my dad could do it all over again, and he would say build the wall h you know, whatever, praum esident obama i muslim, it would not be worth it. i would still say don t do it.

No tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. james comey testified yesterday that that tweet, that very tweet from the president convinced thame he needed to make his conversations with the president fully public as soon as possible. it was one of the many impulsive trump tweets that have cause in order harm than the president is capable of anticipating, because, you kw, cish minds are at their very weakest when it comes to anticipating predictable result of their impulsive reactions. do tapes exist of your conversations with him? well, i ll tell you than maybe some time in the very near future. you seem to be hinting that there are recordings of those conversations. i m not hinting anything. i ll tell you about it over a very short period of time. okay. do you have a question here? when will you tell us about the recordings? a fairly short period of time. tomorrow? are there tape, sir?
I want to set aside that possibility because that s a different thing and just talk about this as, i guess what would be a better scenario which is that they re confused and they screwed this up and messed it up and they didn t really know where that aircraft carrier was. if that is the case, is there any historical analogy that helps us understand the gravity of that? nothing like this in a crisis this serious. and, you kw, part of american power is the impression that our government is competent and we do things well. so if at the beginning of a crisis like this you have the white house, the defense department, others saying that this ship, this armada as the president said, is somewhere very different from where it is doesn t exactly help. this kind of thing never must happen again. one of the contextual things which happened, which is a small thing but seems relevant as we try to sort this out. on friday night we reported that a spokesman for centcom came out and gave inflammat
