. >> eugene, do you think it's true if you sat down to pick the die metric opposite of the aspect of the policy of the previous administration this would be about it? >> just about it. and the opposite of the foreign policy of a whole punch of previous administrations, every previous administration or in the modern era. i mean, to speak about kim jong-un in that way -- you know, if he really is a smart cookie, as trump said, then perhaps he's smart enough to realize that a whole lot of random stuff comes out of the mouth of the president of the united states. and it's unclear whether it means anything beyond what he is saying in that instant. now, that is no way to run a foreign policy. and certainly it could be misinterpreted. but one wonders if a certain numbness to this doesn't set in at least in major capitals when they just say gee, who knows what he's talking about. >> and robert back to your point on politics, with the current or what used to be the gop leadership, pick your poison, house or senate, what's it like up there on the hill now as -- we are talking about one day's n

eugene, from your perspective, how does the white house see this week? >> well, i think the white house is probably still trying to figure out everything that happened this week from the firing to the most recent tweet to today's interviews with the people who are likely or possibly likely to replace james comey. i think what staffers can do a better job of doing hopefully for us in the media next week is getting on the same page to communicate not just to us but to the american people what is exactly happening in the white house. >> they can't be expected to be completely accurate so says the president. >> which is difficult because that certainly is our expectation of them and i imagine the expectation of the people who helped send donald trump to the white house. i think accuracy is not a lot to ask for from the president of the united states and his staff. >> let's watch a portion of that interview with fox news where the president discusses the future of those white house briefings. >> are you moving so quickly that your communications department ca

philip, i'll add to eugene's quote of mccain. gave gergen who worked for four presidents, said tonight after working for nixon and clinton, he never thought he'd hear again discussion of impeachment. but indeed, and he's not a guy given to hyperbole. indeed tonight he feels this is heading into impeachment territory. and i imagine in your line of work you're hearing the "i" word more and more. >> i'm not a lawyer. i can't assess where it's headed. it's the shift in what we're hearing from republicans on capitol hill in particular from leading senate republicans. more and more there is a willingness to distance from this white house, a willingness to start to forge a more independent path. for so long through these scandals in the first 100 days, we've seen the congressional republicans in lockstep defending this president and we're not really seeing that right now. we're seeing jason chaffetz, the head of the house oversight committee saying he wants to see the comey memo. he might even subpoena it. we're seeing the quote that yo
