you said before you canonize mcgahn remember he threat pressured sessions not to recuse. bet his objection was not that firing mueller was wrong but that it was dangerous. also, this is not the first leak to paint mcgahn in a good light at trump's expense. if i were trump, i'd wonder about mcgahn. what would you wonder about him? s. >> well, the question is where are these leaks copping from? and who stands to benefit from them. this certainly paints mcgahn in a favorable light as the guy who has saved the republic from another nixon-type midnight massacre. and in fact i'm sure he did do that. the question is what were his motives, right? was he doing it because he thought it was wrong or because he thought it was dangerous? and we have some evidence as to what that might be. at least that we can infer. remember, he is the one who sat there across from sally yates who warned him about michael flynn and reportedly mcgahn's response was, why does doj or the fbi care about what one white house official says to another? or words like that. i don't mean that to be an exact quo

democrats are saying why this guy getting canonized? yes, he threatened to quit overall this last june, michael, but listening to a former obama staffer, it's essentially, whoa, whoa, whoa, white house counsel is central to what is said publicly about any legal issue. should he have spoken out and corrected these staffers and advisers who were clearly not telling the truth? >> so, first of all, i don't know that mcgahn should be canonized. i think he should be congratulated for doing his job. that was his job, to provide the president with legal advice and he gave him sage counsel on that, perhaps saved his presidency. but with respect to the statements, it looked to me -- they went faster than i can read but it looked to me like most of them were after june. so one could say that he no longer entertained the belief that he could fire mueller. so all those statements thereafter may actually have been truthful statements. we just don't know that yet. and that's something for mueller to determine as well. >> last question, gentlemen. how

i want to put this tweet up from walter schwab, the office of government ethics, before you canonize mcgann he pressured sessions not to recuse. also, this is not the first leak to paint mcgahn in a good light at trump's expense, if i were trump i would wonder about mcgahn. he is implying he could cooperate with investigators? >> i don't think -- he has any choice in this instance. his client is not donald trump it's the office of the president. he'll have to respond accordingly. i think walter makes a good point about canonizing the counsel for doing what he's supposed to do but he obviously i think it also suggests that he saw the peril in this and potential criminality in it and that's why he backed off and wise to do so. that might be why trump has changed his tune and saying i look forward to talking to this guy. he may realize he crossed the line. >> we'll talk to walter schwab at the top of the next hour. thank you, i appreciate it. much more on our breaking news, president trump ordered robert mueller fired last june. the only thing that stopped him, a threat of resignation f

before you canonize mcgahn, remember, he pressured sessions not to recuse. i bet his objection was not that firing mueller was wrong, but that it was dangerous. also, this is not the first leak to paint mcgahn in a good light at trump's expense. if i were trump, i would wonder about mcgahn. is he implying that mcgahn could make the same decision that you did with richard nixon and cooperate with investigators? >> well, i don't think he has any choice in this instance. his client is not donald trump. it's the office of the president. he is going to have to respond accordingly. i think walter makes a good point about canonizing the counsel for doing what he is supposed to do. but he obviously i think it also suggests that he saw the peril in this and the potential criminality of it. and that's why he backed off and was wise to do so. and that might be why trump has also changed his tune and say i look forward to talking that to this guy. he may realize he crossed the line. >> by the way, we're going talk to walter schwab at the top of the next hour. thank you,

i think one very important aspect of this is that the middle course of course in iran is not canonically in that bad in terms of conditions yet. that they would you know they would that would bring them into the streets. what they care more about is accountability personal social cultural freedoms and. unless there is a huge radical violation of these things in a very abrupt way i don't think the middle middle class would become. you know provoked as some other people in this in this recent protests and this is what is the core of the problem of these that microblog. which is very systematic violations of of personal social cultural freedoms which is really i think reaching to a boiling point that this recent protest was i thought i hope that it would be a warning for the rulers of iran to realize that if next time this if the middle class patience is over then nothing and no one can stop them interesting guess what's really clear from this conversation is that there are so many reasons for the people of iran to want better from their leadership many many reasons not just one not just ab

not he has and the new canon has no control over that they claim but the fact of the matter is that the dollar has been overvalued it was overvalued in twenty fourteen and that puck explains the election of trump because that hurt american economy but trump and all of the devices are in favor of not doing anything about managing and stabilizing the global economy they're in favor of this of the global economy being managed by invisible capital markets invisible to us and unaccountable to us and responsible to a lot of us to lety of currencies of trade and of financial flows. and they're not prepared to do anything about that there are any prepared to as i say engage in this chaotic messaging which just raises political and trade and financial tension hard to agree with that analysis from man. yes and i would go further than that i think maybe the root problem of the global economy is financial ization so we've had you know the crisis in two thousand and eight which was solved by more liquidity quantitative easing and a competitive devaluation i don't know if the dollars to hire too low
