like, reince priebus heard everything. you hear stuff at the table in the white house mess. the walls. you'll hear all kinds of stuff. but you find out what's going on because you're political. how deep can he delve in just that kind of questioning? >> i think that surely he is going to be doing this in a very organized way. i mean, let's not kid ourselves. he's not interested in the gossip necessarily from the white house mess. he's interested in how did the white house discuss beforehand and what did the president say about firing jim comey, the fbi director? right after the president asked allegedly the director to please drop the investigation involving his national security adviser. what, for example, did these aides that are around the president's shoulder, what did they hear the president say when he was crafting a statement with his son on air force one about how to spin/describe the reason that his son, donald trump jr., met with a russian lawyer in the middle of the campaign? you know, these overheard conversations are -- these people are also players. remember tha

former white house chief of staff reince priebus and current white house communications director hope hicks have all hired their own expensive washington lawyers now on russia. and you know, when the special counsel wants to interview you, you probably want to get a lawyer no matter what, right? even if you're just expecting a friendly chat about john podesta's risotto recipe or whatever. you probably still want some legal advice if you're going to be talking to the special counsel no matter what. what is the special counsel going to be talking with all these white house officials about? we're not sure. but based on reporting mostly from the "washington post" the special counsel appears to be interested in the crafting of the false statement about the trump tower meeting that involved donald trump jr., jared kushner, paul manafort and all of those russians. that meeting was of course falsely explained by the white house was being just about adoptions. the special counsel also appears to be interested in the firing of fbi director james comey which was also apparently falsely explained

and i said i would have liked to have said yeah and i thought you were reince priebus. >> you call him a juan abe -- >> i did call him a juan abe gentleman ber. >> are you a le my fan? >> who isn't. >> people coming up to you who have said terrible things about you, not to your face and then being very friendly to your face? after the luncheon a congressman came after you who called you the anti-christ. >> came up to introduce his wife to me. i had never met him before. he's now our interior secretary as i write in the book. and he could not have been nicer in coming up to say hello, wanting to greet me. and i said well, you know, congressman, i'm not the anti-christ. and he immediately backpedaled and oh, my goodness and his wife could not have been nicer. but i make the point that when you are subjected to the kind of abuse that we see much too much of in our politics right now, both in person and online and people feel very free, anonymously to say terrible things or from a long distance where they don't have to look you in the eye, they don't have to relate to you or try to figure

that's how reince priebus came in. but think bannon probably consoled himself in concluding rightly that reince priebus was a weak character who couldn't carry the role of the establishment entirely. i think bannon decided i can take this guy, turned out not to be true. miscalculation on the firing of comey trump didn't understand that sessions would have to recuse himself and rod rosenstein, number two, gone along with firing of comey, helped write that letter, had to turn around and in good conscience name a special prosecutor. trump and people in the white house missed that entirely. they had rozen stein at beginning and lost him at end and that's why mueller is where he is right now. >> goes to the question of the learning curve. howard describes how somebody who doesn't understand history and has no interest in it, obviously going to repeat it as trump did. and bannon, his friend, saying you messed yourself up, more super sized russian probe and today white house still choosing to take shots at james comey while b

reince priebus and communications director hope hicks. don, hope hicks have hired their own expensive washington lawyers now on russia. and you know, when the special counsel wants to enter you you, you probably want to get a lawyer no matter what if you expect a friendly chat about the rosoto recipe, you probably still want legal advice if you talk to the special counsel no matter what. what is the special counsel going to be talking about? we're not sure but based on reporting from "the washington post." the special counsel appears to be interested in the crafting of the false statement about the trump tower meeting that involved donald trump junior, paul manmanafort. that was falsely explained by the white house as being just about adoptions. the special counsel also appears to be interested in the firing of fbi director james comey which was also apparently falsely explained by the white house as being the product of a justice department internal process while even the president admits that isn't why he fired james comey. special coun

when i see people like reince priebus go out, i think that was somebody who didn't have his best endgame was in the white house, and even before the white house, given discussions i had with reince priebus beforehand. in the nationalists versus globalists narrative, one of the biggest rifts is over trade. donald trump has said he will probably pull america out of the us china free trade agreement. classical republicans including jeff fla ke a re classical republicans including jeff flake are appalled. i don't believe there's any more articulate champion of free trade and conservative values than senator flake. it's a very odd political strategy to me but it seems he's doing everything possible to settle scores within his own party, then expanding the playing field in terms of available seats. the president would most likely find it a lot easier to pass his agenda, whether it is health care or any other issue if he had some more votes to spare in the united states senate. donald trump promised his voters he would make america great again. the implicit reference to a bygone era has sparked
