we had rex tillerson and mike pompeo as secretaries of state. we didn't need jared kushner.lationships and he cashed in on the relationships when he left office. what donald trump is doing is the continuation of what he has allowed his entire family to do. he's the cheapest person i've ever met in my life. that's why. what he's very good at is spending other people's money. if you look at his history in new jersey -- >> you think he's misleading his voters, his supporters? >> i think those supporters writing checks to trump for president, they think they're paying for campaign expenses, not for personal legal expenses. what happened to him, let's say, with the documents case, had nothing to do with the campaign at all. it's a personal fault of his, mistakes he made that he's now being held to account for. the statement thing with the stormy daniels case in new york. i think it was a ridiculous indictment to bring, but it's based on his alleged conduct of paying off stormy daniels to keep her quiet during an election. these are things the public should not be paying for, cert

you called your first secretary of state rex tillerson dumb as a rock and first defense secretary james mattis overrated general. you called kayleigh mcenany milk toast and multiple times have you referred to transportation secretary elaine chao as mitch mcconnell's china loving wife. so, why did you hire all of them in the first place? >> because i hired 10 to 1 that were fantastic. >> people in charge of the economy. we had phenomenal people in the military. i'm not a found of milley and not a fan of certain of the television people. but i knocked out isis. i defeated isis. they said mattis, it would take three years and i don't think we can do it. i did it in a period of like four weeks. >> bret: there a lot of people who praise you for your policies. i just said that. >> that's true. you just went through a list. but don't forget, for every one you say i had 10 that love us. and one thing happens i find with me that i think didn't happen so much with other presidents. call it glamorous, "time," whatever, but with me, the "times," "the washington post," various people, even fox becau

you called for secretary of state, rex tillerson, that was a rock. and your first offense or canary, james madison, the world's most overrated general. you culture white house percocet and multiple times to efforts or transportation secretary, elaine chao, as mitch mcconnell's china loving wife. so, why did you hire all of them in the first place? >> let's find out what he calls anthony scaramucci in his walking out right now. we'll talk about that -- >> you feel left out? we'll see if you're left out. we'll talk about donald trump's poll numbers next. thanks so much. here's how tommy lost 30 lbs on noom weight. i'm tom. noom helped him use psychology to lose weight. the mindful aspect made me feel more conscious about what i was eating and why i was eating it. it's actually working. lose weight and make it last with noom weight. ladies... welcome to my digestive system. when your gut and vaginal bacteria are off balance. you may feel it. but just one align women's probiotic daily helps soothe digestive upsets. and support vaginal health. welcome to

he called rex tillerson, the former ceo of exxonmobil, and secretary of state, said was the personification american dream, when he, left he called him lazy as and i'm as a rock. now, let me ask you, people of the esteem of -- and bill barr, and plenty of other examples, why would anyone to go and work for him again when you know it is always going to end that way? no one has walked out of there unscathed, if you dare to disagree with, him that is what he does to you. is that really the kind of president we want? is that? and if the country is angry and divided, it is not the only reason joe biden is a big reason, i think we are divided an angry as well, but donald trump has made it worse during his presidency, and he said it himself, kaitlyn, he said, if he gets reelected, he said, i will be your retribution. well, i've known him for 22 years, he won't be anybody's retribution but his own. >> chris christie, thank you very much for joining us. >> happy to be on, kaitlan, thank you for having me. >> and also, as we mentioned, it is happening again. a travel nightmare is playing across the u

about the insulting way that donald trump not only treated me, because i disagree with him, but rex tillersonthetic and a blanking idiot. i mean, look, dana, these are great americans who served him and served the country. and when you disagree with donald trump, he calls you those kind of names. so he says he would hire the best people. it's one or the other. either he was dead wrong about all these people, including me, or he only is saying this stuff because we disagree with him. either way, that's not character. that's not leadership. he's a loser. >> one of the reasons you broke with him is because of january 6th. cnn is reporting i know you just got here, so i'll give you the gist of it. new reporting that special counsel jack smith granted limited immunity to at least two gop fake electors in exchange for their testimony in the january 6th probe. and we're also hearing that he's using hardball tactics and the overall pace of the investigation is picking up. you were a u.s. attorney. you understand how these federal investigations work. what does this say about where they are and do you

and if you need references on that, go to rex rex tillerson, jim mattis, mark milley, bill barr, micky, all of whom he gave jobs to, high, important jobs in the government, cabinet-level jobs, and now calls them things like gutless pigs and cowards and boring losers -- born losers. look, howie, he is a petulant child. if he were your child, you would send him to his room, not white house. howard: trump just told sebastian gorka, as you know, that he never trusted you or wanted you in the administration. >> well, look, that makes him either a liar or an idiot, because he, in fact, did give me chairman of the opioid and drug abuse commission, he did make me chairman of his transition, he did put me in charge of his debate prep, and he offer me secretary of labor, secretary of homeland security and white house chief of staff. so he is either an idiot or a liar, because if you would offer all those things and give those things to someone you don't trust, you're an idiot. and guess what? he did trust me. just because i thinks agreed with him that now all of a sudden you wind up on the othe

here's what he says about rex tillerson when he gets in. he says, he's the embodiment of the american dream, former ceo of exxonmobil. he says, when he left, here's what he said about him. he's dumb as a rock and lazy as hell. about general mattis, four-star general, mad dog mattis. he said he was our very best a general and the closest thing that we had to patton. when he left, he said he was the most overrated general in american history. you mentioned bill barr john kelly already. how about mick mulvaney, who was his director of the office of director and bgt audget and his chief of staff. he was outstanding and brilliant. when mick mulvaney left, he said he was a born loser. lastly, how about general milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he said he was a great american and great patriot when he joined the administration. when general milley disagreed with him and he left, he called him pathetic and a blanking loser. look, either donald trump -- if you believe what he said when they left, that means he doesn't know how to pick t

. >> i remember that moment when rex tillerson was secretary of state, and he said she was confused aboutsanctions, and she said, i don't get confused. it was quite a moment inside the walls of the west wing. scott, her position on ukraine, is that in line with what republican voters want? >> well, i think it's in line with what republican voters need to hear, and i wish more people would make such a clear-eyed defense of what we're doing there and why it's important for the world. there is a segment of republican voters because of a rising isolationism in our country that think we should just pull out. it's unfortunate because i think it exists on the right and the left candidly, and neither party has a monopoly on it. i think haley on domestic issues, on all issues tonight, i think the issue with her is not about making policy because i'm not sure voters want you to do that. i think they want you to make war. it's a vibe check. republicans feel surrounded. they feel surrounded, and they perceive cultural rot in almost every institution, universities, media, corporations, politics, gover

you called your secretary of state rex tillerson dumb as a rock, and your defense secretary james mattis>> joining our conversation former chief of staff miles taylor. he was among the first calls inside the house, literally, of the first trump administration officials to issue warnings about the president at the time he served. miles, what did you think of that? >> i thought it was devastating. i thought it was absolutely devastating. i was glad bret did that. it took a little too long for someone to actually do that, but it's just the tip of the iceberg, and we all know that. in trump's defense i'll say one good thing, which he did bring together a pretty strong together. you have scarborough and others saying they were reassured. but i'll tell you first-hand as soon as those people got into the administration they all thought donald trump was a fool. we talked it about after oval office meetings, situation room meetings constantly, so much so i felt at the time people needed to know that. i mean it was five years ago i published than anonymous op-ed to say, listen, the president's own

the beginning of the trump administration in 2017, i was having prec fast with -- breakfastith rex tillerson we were talking about the challenges facing america and he had recently just met with his counterpart, the chinese foreign minier. and secretary tillerson said, the foreign minister from china told him that china had three critical forei policies. which pointex shook his head and said, ted, it was the damnedest thing, one of their top three priities was stopping you from renaming the street in front of their embassy in d.c that's how concerned and terrified xi and his communist onies were of the world being reminded on a dly basis about liu xiaobo. ultimately, i told secretary till secretary tilleon the following, which is xiaobo had paferred away, -- had passed away, but his wife was still there andhe had never received the money due after he won the nobel peace pri. so i told tillerson, you tell the chinese government, if they release liu, iill stop pushing this particular bill, but if they don't, i will keep pushing it and they can pass it int law. it is not a bluff because i passe
