jeff: finishing up on the prior point before i answer that question, with the memory of barbara bush in all of our minds. a lot of people in this room are entrepreneurs, have done various things, taken risks of various kinds, and i think the, one of the precursors, one of the foundational things to being able to take risk is to have had some kind of support from somebody. you have to have some mentors, you have to have somebody who loves you, these of the things the buildup and allow you to jump off into uncharted terrain and do something new, because you know you have a support system of one kind or another. and i certainly did. i just want to point out i feel very strongly that, i have one a lot of lotteries. amazon is one of the lotteries that i have one. it i had a big laterally with my parents. he came hear when he was 16 years old. he didn't speak any english.

bush administration. and this is not anne aberration th. >> reaction to sadler's remarks. let's go to jeff bennett.re for us. what all can you tell us about this? >> hey, alex. i think we can certainly see the white house defense starting to take shape here. yesterday white house press secretary sarah sanders refused to acknowledge or even disown the remark that kelly sadler made about john mccain. today mcmulvaney the white house budget director who wears a couple hats in the administration says the issue is not the comment while offensive. the real issue is the fact that what was said in a private meeting was leaked publicly. take a look at what he said earlier today on fox news. >> remarks are awful. but, let's look at this in context. that was said in a private meeting. inside the white house. it's not like you might say something really nasty about me off the air and it doesn't have that much impact. you come on air and say it officially, now that's a problem. this was a private meeting inside the white house. it was a joke. a badly considered joke. >> some are calling for her firing. do you t

jeff sessions versus rosenstein. is he seize rod rosenstein has someone who served under the obama administration. >> a democrat. >> even though he also served under the bush administration. he sees sessions as someone who not only pushes the edge of conservative politics but someone who is one of his first major name endorsers on the campaign trail. he saw this as his guy he was putting in the justice department. if you're someone like donald trump who commands loyalty and might be entering the presidency with fears over what the intelligence community or justice department could get on you, that position is key. it may have factored into his decision to appoint jeff sessions to that spot and when he recused himself, he's putting blame there. i think he's putting the blame on the recusal when the original sin is firing comey. he doesn't want to blame himself. >> let me go on to this, shannon, here's the problem everybody watching understands. trump is not willing to tell the truth. he's willing to say it to the russians, willing to tell it for some reason to lester holt on nbc and when forced to acknowledge the importance of the fact that he fire this had

bush administration counsel's office, was involved in the clinton impeachment as well. so he's has so this is an aggressive posture here we're about to see certainly executing, brook. >> what about jeff switching girls. trump threatened to interfere with the department of justice. the justice department is refusing a request to turn over a memo detailing the scope of robert mueller's investigation. why? because there you see the final line here, the would word get involved, peel had to and two sources say that robert mueller has raised the possibility of a presidential subpoena. your thoughts on that? >> the president has been on both side of this. he said yes, he wants to sit down with bob mueller and wants to get this over with. he's been viezed by people to not do it. in there's a adviser. and president is trying to discredit this entire investigation. the question is how much is he going to fight this? is he going to take the fifth? exactly what this new legal strategy will be we're not certain of. but the reality is that. if you think the investigation has br been sharp, they seem to be preparing to become more so. this could end up in the supreme court if the president's lawyer

jeff zeleny is traveling with the president today, he's live in houston. look, we've got five pardons from this president. at this point in the prior presidencies of bushclinton, obama, we had not had a single one. what is trump doing here? >> reporter: erin, it is exceedingly unusual. something that most white house aides were not expecting at all today. when the president did fly here to houston, he's supposed to be focusing on the midterm elections. this is hardly the republican message for the midterm election. but in many respects talking to a variety of white house aides today, it is also something the president privately has been saying for a long time. he is obsessed and so many of his thoughts revolve around james comey. it's clear what he is trying to do here as you laid it out all in the introduction. he's trying to paint a narrative, show that he is not the only one, in his view, the president is not the only one, in his view, who's being wronged by the justice department. he's drawn a thread with james comey. he's looked back through some of his previous cases. ironically, he's friends with a lot of these people, as you pointed out. more i

i as a public health bush would not have standing about -- >> use code has to bring the case in the wto by jeff to provide the government with the information to bring your case. if they are hesitant because the chinese will punish them with operations in china, if they provide the government with the information, you'll see many of these companies won't even testify. they will have a trade group testify so they are not identified both before the china commission and in the congress. i worked in the senate banking committee for 15 years. i've seen this up close. boeing, i remember we would wonder when boeing makes a sale to china, china says you have to make a part of the plane here in china in order to sell to do. we used to think, why is that? we put something in the debbie keough you can't do that. chinese complete ignore this and they say we are not forcing her companies. they are doing it on their own. of course they're doing it on their own, one, they make their shareholders wealthy. a very short-term problem and state that for the united states long-term. >> maybe have each of you commen
