. >> which led to the special counsel, a direct line about that tape to bob mueller being appointed a special counsel. >> brooke, if there are tapes, there's a law called the presidential records act. those cover any kind of communications that would be recorded in the oval office. they cannot be destroyed and they would be legally required. >> that would be pulled into the bob mueller investigation. >> i totally agree. there will be an interrogatory going to the white house, does it exist or does it not. back to sarah huckabee sanders, i think you're seeing a press strategy here, which is, let's devalue the press briefings. we don't know the answers. we don't want to know for legal reasons as well and they are going to communicate through their own lawyers, they are starting to get their message together. it took bill clinton a long time in white water to come up with, it's just about sex. let's move on and ken starr is the devil and we're starting to see the beginning of a strategy. i'm not saying it's great. i didn't like clinton devaluing -- >> but that's what they did. >> and it's like the russians taking

then i think moving on looking for to what that raised approach might be, bob einhorn recently has written about this at brookings, and i think it makes a great deal of sense, starting with negotiations on a nuclear freeze, missile freeze, setting the stage for an interim agreement that would freeze nuclear and missile development, and in the proliferation and then followed by further negotiations over next step with benchmarks that will be worked out over time. potential end goal could be a comprehensive regional security strategy which i know is something tom pickering and mort halperin have been working on. that could take years. so to conclude, i was on a panel recently and one of the experts on the panel was i think very much opposed to what i was proposing. and the reason was is that he said we tried this. we've tried diplomacy with north koreans. it's too hard. they cheat, they can't be trusted. you know, i heard the same argument with iran for years. in fact, during the 35 years before the jcpoa there were countless failed attempts, missed opportunities, and yet we now have an agreement that is working. a

that's congressman mo brooks who was on the ball field this morning. >> sure did, bob. you can see tame he's trying to process it himself and really ingest what he just experienced this morning. that feeling of helplessness is what he we actually have a statement that is come out now from representative steve scalise's office. this is the official statement and it says at practice for the congressional baseball game scalise was shot in the hip transported to med star washington hospital center where he is currently under going surgery. he is in stable condition. prior to entering surgery, the whip was in good spirits. spoke to his wife by phone. he is grateful for the brave actions of u.s. capitol police,& first responders and colleagues. we ask that you keep the whip and others harmed in this incident in your thoughts and prayers. this office will row lease additional information regarding the whip's condition as appropriate. and it is ironic in some regard as we heard representative brooks talk there that we're talking about scalise being the one that was shot. he is

moving on, looking forward to what that approach might be, bob recently wrote about this at brookingsd i think it makes a great deal of sense, starting with negotiations on nuclear freeze and missile freeze thomas setting the stage for an intern agreement that would freeze nuclear and missile developments and proliferation followed by further negotiations that will be worked out over time, potential and goals could be a strategy which i know tom has been working on. that could take years. to conclude, i was on a panel panel recently and one of the experts on the panel was very much opposed to what i was opposing and the reason was he said we've tried this, we've tried diplomacy with the north koreans, it's too hard, they can't be trusted. i heard the same arguments with iran for years. in fact, during the 35 years before the jcp away, there was countless failed attempts and missed opportunities, and yet we now have an agreement that is working. as nelson mandela put it, it only seems impossible until it's done, and i would apply that in that case. because we failed in the past doesn't

relationship between bob mueller and james comey being bothersome, says even though he has the power to fire him, he has no intention of doing so. >> keep your eyes on that latter point there, brooke. the first point, you're right. sean spicer was able to go back and have the conversation with the president, apparently, and confirm that what he said in january is still operative, that he thinks it's russia. there wasn't much more expansion beyond that about what the administration is doing to make sure that our election system is not attacked again. but on the second point you made, it seems to me, and sean kept saying i'm going to let the president's comments about mueller stand, he made himself crystal clear. well, if he -- if indeed the president was being crystal clear, it is at least crystal clear to me that the president is looking to define mueller on his terms. he sees him as a political opponent. he highlighted in that interview with fox the too close relationship he sees with comey, he thinks it's an important point to mention that mueller's lawyers that he's hired have made political donations to democrats. he's trying to frame how the country should see mueller and he
