've been covering saudi arabia to one extt or another for decades. th they're ruthless. do. there's no surprise here. the qution is, is the administration going to tolerate it or cover it up and we seem to be on the cover-up road right now. laura: bob woodward speaking to the bbc earlier. and beyond thats case, heard, saudi arabia is facing pressure over its bombing campaign in yemen. after the first time, the bbc can report from the scene where zens were killed byri an air two months ago. ey said civilians were never targeted. and our international correspondent has spoken to survivors of the attack. and sent this report from nort

joining me now is the associate editor of the "washington post," bob woodward. ar: trump in the white house" revealed the inner workings of an administration plagued by chaos. i want to start with an interview you and bob costa did with then candidate trump in 2016 about the rage in the country. take a listen. >> in the republican party, there is a lot of angst and rage and distress. >> record-setting. >> record-setting. and you have to tame that rage. >> yes. >> don't you? >> yes, but i bring that out in people. i do. i'm not saying that's an asset or a liability. but i do bring that out. i bring rage out. i do bring rage. i always have. i've had many occasions like this, where people have hated me more than any human being they've ever met. and after it's all over, they end up being my friends. >> i bring rage out. part of it seemed to be saying that he brings outrage in his enemies. but demean it -- how demeid he n it? >> he meant it very clearly. what was so surprising about it was, i said, oh, yeah, you have to tame rage. oh, no, no. i bring it out in people

so i'll ask my colleague, bob woodward. e a sense -- is it the trump family and kushner family's kfinancial interest wih the gulf states? >> i don't have any evidence of that. but it's important to always listen to what trump says. and he's saying this is about money and contracts. and if you go to the internal debates in the white house, which i spend some time on, trump always raises money. it's about the money, the u.s. is spending for forward deployed troops in south korea, europe, the middle east, and he thinks somehow that's for those countries and it's not part of our own security. and as a group, all the national security people who are, it's his team, they say no, no, that's the best money we could spend. it's a good thing. and trump will literally say we're being played for suckers. >> is what he understands in every context. >> but he's not out there trying to get money for the federal government. it's not the trump organization. this money is spent for good purposes, and when you get into a situation with somebod

the very...” would say start reading bob woodward's book fear, and he has a story where mr trump is warned with china. all china would have to do is stop the supply cannot find a way delaying further to be real problems and i suppose is an indication of the sorts of areas we could be getting into. what about perfume? i can't. it is scary. it's so perfume? i can't. it is scary. it's so impractical. it's a scary business has not allowed to be on board and it just business has not allowed to be on board and itjust is like another disaster. we are weeks away from supposedly getting ready or not getting a deal. six weeks, apparently. and we being told about this now, today. let's move onto the front of the metro. i find this picture, eve, absolutely extraordinary. not evenjust picture, eve, absolutely extraordinary. not even just to say slightly chilling. tell us about this. this is... i can probably say that right but this is the son of that right but this is the son of that poor man who we now firmly believe was murdered in the embassy in turkey, in the saudi arabian embassy. and he's been ba

the reason for the book -- when i look back at what bob woodward wrote, he wrote about individual staffers who were moving things from the resolute desk. to me that should constitute high crimes and misdemeanors. the american people did not vote for the staff, they voted for the president and vice president to move their agenda forward. when individuals think it is their obligation to take things off the president's desk, to me that is a real problem. the book that i have written is going to talk about the fact that there are individuals in the government who are subverting the president's agenda, and his agenda of america first and making america great again, which is what the american people voted for. host: any ideas who wrote that piece in the washington post? the new york times? interesting, i don't know. i asked the president about it directly. he said the qualification of a senior administration official -- is how they couch that person. there are a thousand people that qualify. he may or may not even know the individual. what we saw from the new york they had to verify the authenti

just brought up just as fortis, because i was thinking it has been several years since i read bob woodward's book "the brother and. -- brethren." i was wondering if she could go over the attempts, back in the mid-70's by the nixon administration, i think, to try to impeach -- oh gosh, i have for getting the justice now. he goes all the way back to fdr. william o douglas. justice douglas was, i think he might be the longest-serving or close to the longest serving justice on the court, and he was extremely, famously, liberal or further left than any other justice, according to many scales. the interesting thing about justice douglas is that he was personally something of a wild man. he was known as a womanizer, among other things. and when he was confirmed he did not have a confirmation hearing at which he testified, because that did not happen in those days, but the story he told about himself and his biography turned out not to be too. has been so fascinating biographical work about the things that he said about himself that turned out not to be true. in today's world, that could never happe

i've been reading very carefully the book by bob woodward and it's quite clear there's a war within theican state, the federal executive. there are those around trump that try to advise restraint and they sometimes win the day and he reads off teleprompter. other times his instinct is to push back. but i think he understands another thing about his instinct and that is his political base is strongly rallied by that kind of push back against the state itself, against the dominant political parties. he's organizing a mass movement much more than he is running a government, even though his policies have had a bigfect. if you like his advisors are relatively powerless on the whole to do vaefr much about what he believes is an authentic america. his america firstism that he represents and alleged attacks by this individual are a perfect metaphor for the kind of inomies donald trump reckoned on attack thing united states. obama, clinton, soros and the minorities that they mobilized to vote for them against the authentic america. >> he says the democrats, that's the reason for all of our probl

we should out and been reported in bob woodward's book, "fear" that james mattis said things that weren't casting a good light on the president. the president has said mattis is doing a great job. it'srevolving door. i want to point to a quick statement from the pentagon they put out. secretary mattis is laser focus on doing his job ensuring the military remains the most lethal force on the planet. james mattis isn't a partisan person. the general has spoken out against the iran nuclear deal. we understand according to a source he was offered a potential role in a hillary clinton administration if she had won and he turned it down. >> thanks for that. >>> coming up, a white woman calls police saying a 9-year-old black child groped her but surveillance video shows a did i have story. of my parents and my grandparents. i was getting all these leaves and i was going back generation after generation. you start to see documents and you see signatures of people that you've never met. i mean, you don't know these people, but you feel like you do. you get connected to them. i wish that i could ge

i don't know if there was a memo written somewhere that someday bob woodward will find, but clearly he value in saying things that are easily disprovable, as a way of saying, a, how far can he push his supporters and b causing everybody to question the truth of anything that they hear. these numbers today on saudi arabia are hardly the most outrageous things he's said today, that they are rioting in california sanctuary cities, they're trying to isolate the central america caravan, or he's trying to protect people with preexisting conditions, as the administration puts out memos on things that could reduce their coverage. and literally thousands more by now are meant to cause a significant portion of the electorate to doubt anything that they hear except what they hear from him and it works for a piece and it has a price for a piece. >> it's been his playbook since long before he was president. i mean he talks about hiyperbol, and i think it's just part of what he's done as a businessman and now in politics. >> laura jarrett is with us. laura, let's get your reaction to this latest rep

this all got started when bob woodward's book came out.t secretary mattis called what bob woodward said about him. he said it was fiction. i will take secretary matty's word. neil: defense secretary steeped in republican politics, william cohen, former maine senator, republican in bill clinton's administration, vice versa, democrats represented in republican administrations. how important is it for this president in particular to have a mix of blood like that? >> i think it is good. you get great ideas. look, make no mistake it's a burn out job. you get burned out in this job. president obama went through four secretaries of defense. i would say this president, in addition to putting america back to work, his strong suit has been foreign policy you have to go back to the reagan and nixon administrations to find a foreign policy, national security team an a-team of this caliber with pompeo and mattis and john bolton and nikki haley. the challenge is, if one of them leaves, now this case we know tickky haley by the end of the year, someone i

i think when bob woodward turns his hardback into a paperback, he's going to have plenty of material for a postscript about the chaos in the white house. we have two very strong willed individuals here, who have been used to asserting themselves and everybody else getting out of the way and letting them have their way. and now they're clashing, and it's not totally surprising, the issues surrounding the borders are getting sharper. president trump clearly wants to turn the border question into a midterm elections issue over the next couple of weeks, and he wants to crack down on it. i think general kelly is trying to protect his protege as well as disagreeing with the hardline that bolton wants to take. i don't think he'll resign in the near term, but he could well be close to the door by the end of the year. >> it's interesting, because it was john kelly as head of homeland security who was talking about more than a year ago i think it was about looking at separating families as a way to deter people from coming across. so it's not as if he's not a hardliner on immigration. >> that'

on the ken starr investigation, if you read a bob ordway's book, bob woodward resented him as a most moderate fair-minded toward the clintons of all the people in starr's investigation. he's the one that said it is not our job to convict bill clinton, it is only our job to give facts in the congress. he was wise beyond his years and he was not a partisan attack do dog. >> martha: thanks very much, good to have all of you with us tonight. coming up, more reaction to the confirmation of justice brett kavanaugh this evening with guy benson and marie harf. >> the senate information process was contentious and emotional. the process is over. my focus now is to be the best justice i can be. smarter. because to be the best, is to never ever stop making it better. introducing the new c-class. visit your local mercedes-benz dealer for exclusive offers. billions of problems. morning breath? garlic breath? stinky breath? there's a therabreath for you. therabreath fresh breath oral rinse instantly fights all types of bad breath and works for 24 hours. so you can... breathe easy. there's therabre

you saw early on we reported this today and it was in bob woodward's book as well, when the president went to visit the family members of a dead soldier, it didn't go well. he also, when he goes where tratra tragedies have happened, the president has shown a willingness to be tough and to say things that other leaders wouldn't say to get his supporters, you know, with him. but empathy is not something he has shown consistently. >> josh, great reporting as always. great to have you with us. >>> joining us now to talk about all of this, we have jill lo lockhart, anna navarro. great to have all of you. joe, let me start with you. as press secretary, what do you think when you hear sara sanders try to explain that the president of the united states's words don't cause any of this. the president of the united states words don't have any impact. he's really calling the press the enemy of the people. he's calling democrats whackos and crazy lunatics. that has nothing to do with the violence that we're seeing. >> that was a little hard to watch yesterday. but let me come to her defense a litt

and author of "the new york times" number one best seller, "the ship of fools" that just knocked bob woodwardhe number one spot on "the new york times" best seller list. tucker, first of all, i'm so happy i know you. >> congratulations, thank you, laura. >> laura: when i was going through some tough times, you were one of the first to reach out to me. people have to know this about tuck your, you are a really good person. >> well, i'm not a good person but i have deep sympathy for anybody, including kanye west, who i know nothing about. i feel for people who are all of the sudden getting it from everybody. >> i saw your show last night where you talked about the issue of fathers and missing fathers and entire segments of america. he was talking about that. look, he is not a political person. he is not going to speak in pundit terms. he is going to speak the way he is going to speak. it is not my music or my thing nor is it yours. that was an interesting moment where he said the masculine presence in a family is so important and she didn't speak to me. it wasn't because she was a woman. it was

is not inclined to e resign as bob alluded to, and there is also increased tensions after the bob woodward book in which mattis is attributed to having said thingses to the president being child-like. >> and that is to the whole question of the anonymous leaks, and suspicions cast on mattis fairly or unfairly that he was contributing to that or the subordinates were contributing? >> well, calling him a democrat was not a compliment, and not meant to be one, and there is policy differences on them, on iran, and afghanistan, and multiple things, and so those types of tensions are also present between the president and his secretary of odefense, and for bolten, as to what carol was saying, i did a article with a kocouple of reuter writers an early after bolten came, he was sitting in the room, and i believe the situation room, and presiding and mattis who is accustomed to being able to say his opinion and go on for length did so, and bolten turns to him and says, are you done, and then proceeds to take it down point by point. and so we are told that they get along just fine, but there is clea

of course, the mooch is not the only one who wrote a book, sean spicer, omarosa, michael wolf, bob woodward. >> can't keep up with the tell-all books about the trump administration? introducing the trump tell-all book of the month club. subscribers will receive every scathing trump book published so far, including "fire and fury," full disclosure, "fear," unhinged, and more. plus a new tell-all book will arrive in the mail every month. like melania trump's "the devil wears maga." sarah huckabee sanders, "b.s. i love you." vice president mike pence, "mommy, can you hear me." and eric trump, "color by numbers." hold on to your maga hats. we'll throw in the robert mueller report absolutely free. the trump tell-all book of the month club. turn your library into a lie-brary. >> jimmy: thank you. [ cheers and applause ] thank you all for -- meanwhile, our proudly nationalist president took his comedy tour to houston, texas, last night where we slowed him down to half speed for tonight's i don't know what the hell he's talking about edition of "drunk donald trump." >> they want to go out and they

bob woodward has a very good ticktock of this in his book. it took most of, the extent they want today make it through saudi arabia and israel. >> you had senator marco rubio on one of the sunday shows today saying steven mnuchin the secretary needs to pull out -- the treasury secretary has not at this point. do you see a reckoning of a change to that? you had senator bob corking singing a different tune about the saudis this week. >> no. we're dealing with the most corrupt administration in the history of the country. that's not going to change, right? they're corrupt. that's what corrupt people do. there are a lot of people being oh, trump's being blackmailed. no, he's just making money there. and we already know his people do not care he's the most corrupt president in american history. what will be interesting to see if the law has anything to say about it. right, so we have the global g magnitsky act -- >> well said. >> which is supposed to police this kind of thing. and what that act basically says is you can't traipse around the world

sh, you should can consider that it was not that long ago that there a book out there "fear" by bob woodwardd some statement s statements to the general mattis saying that the president had the intelligence of a fifth or sixth grader, and mattis has denied that and after the denial, the president said that he doing the a fantastic job, and so it a appeared that everything is fine between the two, but the question is exactly why the president chose to jab someone now that he has defended in the past, and the pentagon put out the statement, and they read it quote, secretary mattis is laser focused on doing his job to ensure that the u.s. military is the most lethal force on this planet. of course, secretary mattis has never been publicly partisan which is another aspect of it. he has publicly questioned the obama a administration over the iran nuclear deal. and source indicates that when hillary clinton was running for president, her campaign made overtures to mat tis to try to see if he would be interested in a post with the possible hillary clinton administration, and something that the gene

i feel like we've gained a perspective that bob woodward wasn't able to get in his book.: stormy daniels, everyone. this is her book. it's her whole life story. it's called "full disclosure." it's out now. sarah paulson. we'll be right back with kacey musgraves. >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live concert series is presented by mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live concert series is presented by mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. >> jimmy: i want to thank sarah paulson, stormy daniels, pay apologies to matt damon. her album is called "golden hour." here with the song "love is a wild thing," kacey musgraves! ♪ ♪ you can't find it sitting on a shelf in a store if you try to hide it it's gonna shine even more ♪ ♪ even if you lose it it will find you there's no way to stop it but they'll try to ♪ ♪ running like a river trying to find the ocean flowers in the concrete climbing over fences ♪ ♪ blooming in the shadows places that you can't see coming through the melody when the night bird sings ♪ ♪ love is a wild thing ♪ oh i can feel it magic in your

people are going to bob woodward and telling goopy gossipy stories.of people -- >> i have to get this in. whatever happened to the search for the author of the anonymous "new york times" op-ed? is it one of their friends? >> or did that person just resign? and that could be a hypothetical. i don't know, i'm just wonderin wondering. >> but you don't collude to come because that would be wrong. how do you inspire that kind of buoyancy though. this element is not unique to this presidency. the fact that there are leakers and people you can't trust. >> you inspire loyalty is number one, and if you don't get it then you fire somebody. i mean, i can't imagine president obama -- i have a lot of close friends who work for president obama and that west wing, and i can assure you -- if you don't trust your staff, if you don't trust the people who work with you, if you don't have a tight-knit group of people, you get rid of folks bringing new people. >> >> people try to do that all along, try to find the right group of people that will watch your six military st

the bob woodward, he seems like an accurate journalist. like john kelly calling the president the things he's called him. for me i have no problem standing up for myself or telling you what i think about john kelly or the situation with the president. having said, that i applaud the guservice, but it's not just me, chuck. he hurt the morale inside the place. he's hurt the president. and he has hiss fits. he left last week after the report that he had with ambassador bolton that's his personality. the good news is i'm being vindiced by that because he's demonstrating his personal the way he really is. >> you've interacted with president trump. as candidate trump you weren't quite on board at first with the idea of him being president. you had other candidates you were interested in. you were formerly with scott walker. what finally convincedyou that donald trump had what it took? >> i met with the psident the day after "the apprentice" f finale. we were joking about him being president and i didn't believe him. when i explained my loyalties
