davisnd spends time with the president as did bob woodward. i'm wondering if you spent time with president what would you have asked him? >> i would have, the images i have that were on the record include vice president pence, ambassador haley, ambassador o'brien, steve bannon and many others, mark esper. i traveled around the region with mike pence several times and with esper. i spoke with mike pompeo, john bolton. i feel like i had a high level of broad range of first-hand sources that's just not the administration because of course a lot of important -- reporting what was happening hae administration. wenc can focus too much on the p five people without realizing there's 300 300 who have ine in the levels below them and that's about the number of people i spoke to who are not in the cabinet. if i had a chance to sit with president trump i would have asked him very frankly whether or not he believes the trade deal fixed any of the problems that he had been railing against for the last 30 years. in other words, what isac in sicily in his wri

he said it with an interview with bob woodward.sian hate. he knew a lot about what was going on, i would agree with that. he said some things that were correct but promoted drugs that were ineffective and other things that undermined all of that. >> harris: jason, real quick. >> the president has an intelligence service behind him and i think it was wrong for everybody just because donald trump said it to dismiss it. and there are a lot of republicans and trump supporters who got out there and said the president was talking about this and you dismissed it and shame on the national media for not pursuing this actually might be the origin of it and the reality is it did come from china no matter how you slice it, it came from china. >> harris: we had it on tape chris cuomo saying they would follow it and we also have the receipts they didn't. we'll move to this now. it is another quick look. facebook now as it is called is changing its tune as well saying in a new statement quote, unquote. in light of ongoing investigations into the

in the united states -- where the virus came from, or the last president deciding and saying to bob woodwardhat he was going to minimize it, and actually are allowed the virus to spread throughout the united states. i am just confused. which is more important? it does not matter where it came from, what happens is what happened with the former president did with that information. host: bill, let me turn the question to you -- are they both important, or is one a higher priority? caller: to me, it does not matter where it came from. it does not matter. it is a virus, and it kills people -- it killed over half of a million people in the united states. i wonder the reason it -- if the reason it killed over half a million people in the united states is the way that it was handled. host: thanks for the call. 3.4 million people worldwide. warren strobel? guest: those are two separate questions, and one thing we have not talked about, hopefully we will answer the question one way, the lab leak theory originally, for much of last year was derided and looked down upon. many observers would say presid

cost xi jinping micromanage trade relationship and david spends time with the president as they bob woodwardd i'm wondering if you have spent time with president what would you have asked him? >> well, you know, i would have -- the interviews that i have that were on the record include, you know, vice president pence, and ambassador haley and robert o'brien, and steve bannon, and many other mark esper, and i travel around the region with pence, several with esper i intoak mike pompeo john bolton so i feel like i had a very high level of broad range of firsthand sources that's just not the administration because, of course, a lot of important what was happening down beneath administration and again i think we can focus too much on the top five team without realizing there's 200 who have influence in level below them and that -- that that's actually, you know, about number of people that i spoke to -- who are not in the cabinet. you know if i had a chance that would be with president trump that i would have asked him very frankly whether or not he believes that the trade deal fixed any of the

you may remember that jared kushner told bob woodward in his book that trump had hijacked the republican party. what several republicans have said to me is it was a party that wanted to be hijacked. so i think your point is well taken in that the question now is list cheney has laid down her marker but can she be effective? can other republicans in effect never trump republicans either take back the republican party, wrestle it away from trump? right now that doesn't look very likely or are they going to go in a new direction? >> david axelrod, one of our reporters was just giving some background information. i just heard it in my ear that her colleagues, fellow lawmakers, republican lawmakers, they cleared out of the chamber when she was speaking. only one according to the report i just got. only one remained to even listen to what she was saying. >> very heroic. i think that it's very clear that they've made their decision and as i said at the outset, she is embarrassing them by telling the truth. it's a truth they don't want to hear and they are acting on mass and trying to find comfo

bob woodward's book about trump was called "fear" for many reasons. trump said many times i would rather be feared than loved. that is just pathetic that there's that much paranoia among republicans in washington. so the idea is if we can't get people into the center -- and we're not going to become democrats. this is a center-right coalition. if we can't get people of good will who believe in the rule of law, a government of laws and not of men as it said on the building at 10th and constitutional when i was assistant attorney general of the united states, then something will have to give. i think that that party in washington is going to be an incredible vanishing party. >> governor todd whitman, you and governor weld were governors of states where they had republican and democratic governors. you're somewhat used to doing things across the political aisle. i guess this does work against the political aisle. you might attract some centrist democrats, and as governor weld says you're looking to be a center-right party. how do you think this gets buil

because he sat there and talk to bob woodward in january and said how bad he knew this thing was but continued to deny to the people publicly that it was severe. that being said, he could have won the election in a landslide, i heard the guy earlier say, yeah, you know, look at what trump did, saying it came from wuhan, isn't he right now? like barney said, where's the truth? i want to point everybody to an article from like you know, we don't know where it came from. i mean initially they will say that somebody ate a bat, the eight bushmeat or whatever it was. people have been doing that for centuries. a bat? it might get you sick, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was the cause, what i want to point to is this article in the frederick news post, saying wuhan, came from china? possibly. going back to what arnie said, are we getting the truth? there is an article i want to point people to from the frederick news post 2019 regarding fort dietrich. go look at the article. i'm not saying that it came from us, we don't know, the thing is, there are so many people just talking and beli
