( laughter ) but pence is pushing back, because after the speculation started, he denied writing the op-ed. he also denied having a closet full of bumper stickers that say, "mike pence 2020: i wrote the op-ed!" ( laughter ) whoever it is, the president is furious, and he vented his frustration on twitter. last night, he posted this simple query: "treason?" ( laughter ) yeah. i think he accidentally mixed up his twitter feed with his texts to putin. ( laughter ) really fans of putin here, are you? you're on the wrong show. ( laughter ) the president has become obsessed with finding the leaker, and we know this because of another leaker who leaked that trump said, "we've got to get rid of them. the snakes are everywhere, but we're getting rid of them." and staffers are taking it seriously. i'm being told we just got some footage from inside the west wing. >> i'

as our lodestar. you are a lodestar. lodestar. >> jimmy: that's right.ice president michael elizabeth pence -- [ laughter ] uses the word "lodestar" like it's -- [ cheers and applause ] wouldn't that be something if it was mike pence? trump just announced that the space force's first mission is to locate and destroy the lodestar, whatever that may be. [ laughter ] and this is going to drive trump absolutely nuts. can you imagine what it must be like to have a job at which almost everyone who works for you thinks you're a complete idiot? i can't. i'll tell you something, it's no fun at all. [ laughter ] so this op-ed comes at a time when the president's minions are pushing back against a new book. yesterday's news, a book by pulitzer prize-winning bob woodward who interviews dozens of trump staffers, hundreds of hours of tape. the president weighed in with his thoughts on this upcoming publication. >> the book means nothing. it's a work of fiction. the book is a work of fiction. the book is a work of fiction. the book is fiction. the book is total fiction

>> it really was the lodestar. >> it will be our lodestar. >> as our lodestar. >> lodestar. >> jimmy:was mike pence. all right, that's fine. [ laughter ] let's just move on.

honor was john's lodestar. it's an intangible quality. it is not obligatory. it has no written code. it reflects an inward compunction free of self-intere self-interest. it fulfills a cause not a personal ambition. it represents what a society lives for beyond the necessities of the moment. law makes life possible. honor and noble ility for john was a way of life.
