britain and the d united states favored different strategies. a more basic problem was that they did not trust each other sd resentment over years since world war i, made it hard for both countries to trust the other and that's a lesson for our time. damaging relationships cannot be restored it's like flipping a switch. even when both parties are facing existential threat. the british americans. >> struggling with their own internal divisions. the british chiefs of staff under churchill micro management of the war, action of this day, memoranda and churchill himself had doubts about whether or not his generals could deliver victory. the american joint chiefs of staff struggled to under the politics by which their commander in chief had to contend and they despair that fdr's resolve to standby the position that they advocated under churchill's sun lamp which they came to call it often. with global interest for empire in limited and shrinking resources and fear of repeating the warfare of world war i, the british advocated and was interpreted at t

our long-term strategy, our bigger strategy is to use every moment of stress. being put under stress people do stupid things. and make all kinds of mistakes. to build up the organization, to involve more and more young people in politics, to spread ideas and show people around russia, everything is completely wrong and it is going the wrong way, this is what we are doing. the election was a formal reason. it has been a campaign explaining russian voters what is and isn't an election. an election should be a competitive event with no preliminary known answer. to make an election such an event, they should be granted. television access, granted. t to drive a full-scale campaign and to demonstrate this, before the official election, and it started to build up as if it were a real election, which it was not. so, 84 regional campaign headquarters all over russia, it is not permitted to run. this has been successful. first of all, we managed to grow up the organization. we have dozens of regional headquarters operating all over the country. we have the number of peop

and that our strategy is designed to keep that strategy from eroding. so i don't want to scare the american public or alarm our allies. is the rand report correct? is it a little more alarming than the chairman of the joint chiefs just said, about an eroding competitive advantage? >> senator, i believe that we can all see the throwing threat that russia has chosen to be. i still remember addressing u.s. marines at camp lejeune training for peacekeeping missions in the late '90s. that is a long distant memory. you've seen significant expulsion of diplomats, sanctions put on russia by this administration. i believe we do have a competitive advantage today. it's important we expand it of the russians. we have a geographic advantage, that eye commander is rightly looking at it more broadly. america is more capable of any nation of expanding the competitive space against something like a ground attack into the baltics. there's a number of ways s we c make this a very tough problem for the russians. we do that by, with, and through the nato alliance. everythi

the strategy is the post for all of our actions including this year strategy driven budget request driving meaningful reform to establish an enduring culture of performance and for ability and agility and i cannot appear before you, mr. chairman without expressing my gratitude for the men and women of the department of defense. they're the ones who must turn the national defense strategy into action. more to 2 million service members the one million civilians do their duty honoring previous generations of veterans and civil servants left sacrifice for their country. it is a privilege to serve alongside them and i thank them for their tireless efforts and unyielding standards in defense of our nation. gentle delivered is prepared to discuss the military dimensions of this request. >> secretary? sheldon,an -- chairman thank you for allowing me to join a mattis and norquist. it's an honor to represent that it men and women uniforms. the challenges we face, i want to ensure you the military has anyetitive advantage over adversary today. i am confident we can deter a nuclear attack and defend t

so that strategy is there long-term strategic competition after years and that strategy is distinct in defense of the homeland cell secretary nodded is the core competency so what measures is the department taking such as the black hawk? >> senator i think i have to take that for the record. i know we are upgrading and chef -- shifting in certain places and then to be specific but with those two helicopters you are concerned with we could find an answer within the week. >> thank you. i just recently returned from china and with that engagement with china and after spending a week there so to believe that they reveal threat poses to national security and needs to be addressed correctly other military investment economic development for through transfers for outright theft and rapidly developing the tech sector how can you best impose the effective export controls and other mean to protect u.s. interest? will not competing for direct investment? >> so right now what he is leading is how do we protect certain industries with research and development that are truly a critical for national

buying strategy, it is the marketing strategy.ategy is very much about who the customer is and how to communicate with that customer. also, shopping experience, people wa nt also, shopping experience, people want them to be an experience just as if they are going to a theme park. it has to give them something more, more sensory than just going in to buy a product. we have had so many rich relaunches by so many teams that have come into m and s over the last 20 years. do you have much confidence in this? we need to have a team that is it therefore the long—term. a high turnover of people at the top end is the last thing they want. they need to keep a good strong focused board of directors who are going to have a strong vision that is achievable, and keep around the competition, and also going to stay with the company, because often people at the top jump from company to company to company, making a quick impression and moving on. thank you very much. thanks so much. for persisting, we are very grateful, it was definitely worth hear

our strategy is designed to keep that strategy from eroding. i don't want to scare the american public and i don't want to alarm our allies and if the general is he correct and is the rand report correct and is a little more alarming than what was said about the eroding competitive advantage? >> senator, i believe that we can all see the growing threat that russia has chosen to be. it is chosen to be a strategic competitor, nato open the door to a partnership of sorts and i still remember russian marines and us marines training for un peacekeeping missions back in the late '90s, early 2000's and that is a long distant memory as they have chosen to do what they have done in ukraine in crimea with cyber against and i can go on. using significant expulsion of diplomats and sanctions but on russia by this administration. i believe that we do have a competitive advantage today. it is important that we expand it over the russians and they have at the geographic advantage and it's rightly looking at but looking at it more broadly as we address this am

both british and americans called that an opportunistic strategy. the united states drawn into the war from isolationist view of the world had 3 goals, we wanted to win in europe, pivot defeat of japan and come home. now, that was why the united states favored crossing the english channel and crossing north western europe and into german and they called the strategy, the goal of the strategy was achieving direct military result which is how they contrast as the british strategy to fdr, suddenly promo -- prominently, the world view, politics was changing and adapting to how they saw the national security needs of the united states and post world war and they were begin to go -- beginning to accept and adjust to that so that by november, third goal coming home was going to get dropped and they embraced a long-term position of the united states as part of world security which is true for our day. going forward, the allies need today agree on a goal, they needed a strategy, they needed to concentration of force and commander. none of that had been agree

develop the strategy. it's ensuring we keep the homeland safe. >>10800 reports here that i'm required to submit. i may just add one to it on my own and report this back to you about where we're at on this issue. >> thank you. >> yes, sir. >> senator? >> thank you, mr. chairman. and thank you, mr. secretary and general for your service and for being here, as we have this year's hearing on the defense department budget. general den founford, as part ot year's hearing, i asked you for the record whether it was in the u.s. interest to continue implementing the iran nuclear agreement. what were the risks to the u.s. at our national security, allies security if the agreement were scrapped. you responded in july saying, and here i will quote, i believe it is in the nation's interest to continue implementing the iran nuclear agreement. militarily, the jcpoa remains the most durable means of et preventing iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability. if the united states scraps the deal, iran could respond by res

>> right, to jonathan's point the legal strategy and public relations strategy completely contradict each other, at least they appear to. during the interview with sean hannity, it's interesting. sean hannity is very close to the white house. some people have called him the unofficial chief of staff. he's frequently on the phone with the president and frequently visits the white house. his reaction, during the interview was, oh, really? i didn't know that. >> so that, i think, definitely caught the president off guard. and it definitely made it seem like this wasn't land. and that giuliani was very much off the cuff. so, it's interesting to see how all of this has been playing out in that way and it's interesting to see how this has been playing out with giuliani as well. after 9/11, i think giuliani had a ton of credibility with the american people who was close to the intelligence community. he was known as america's mayor. but over this past week, it seems like that's kind of all worn off. and he's contradicting the president. and it's just -- it's a very weird public relations st

this is a good strategy.ason rudy's there spinning this up because also he is sowing the seeds of doubt in the case of a subpoena issue. >> to the base, to republicans. >> exactly. >> there's also a reality based standard. i mean, the president not an analyst or observer. he is a prime actor in this and may feel he has nothing to hide and i think he testifies for transparency and can be resolved one way or another. but, you know, so it's clever in terms of playing to the base and not sure in the court of public opinion and will not necessarily translate to the court of law. >> i was going to say it might in this case, however, because you heard rudy giuliani say that the president said to me, the president told me. it's not an effective strategy because now you have a record of what the president says and you have the ability to contradict him through other testimony. you now have the exposure of him, rudy giuliani, potentially being a witness and being able to talk about this because removed the attorney/cli

strategy and a majority of the right. far right wing opposition in venezuela which is aligned with the us policy of overthrowing the revolution is boycotting these elections this is a boycott strategy because it does not want the venezuelan government legitimate it but another of another election that we had and i think that its strategy is to first push this boycott do you have to debate the elections internationally and in that way legitimate a strategy of intensified violence and street protest in venezuela and what kind of reaction do you think we'll see from. reaction to this demand from my friends well obviously that means the venezuelan government is going to ignore that demand it's absolutely absurd and outrageous demand so. you give me dual government has made very frequent beginning it's not going to succumb to this u.s. intervention but neither is he going to take such such interventionist demands seriously all right i mean. i'm talking about just that i was just going to add that the venezuelan government as y

how is that good strategy?because he wants to delay any kind of proceeding against him from the russia investigation. he can't fire muelle th would be terrible. he can't fire rosenstein. that would be and put in someone like hhs secretary aczar. all he does is cloud it up and keep moving forward on things like north korea, on the iran deal. winning in the polls. even as this becomes more marginal, more an area for cable fest talk, but not of great concern to voters. >> put this in perspective. if the strategy is let's make moves to show the people that the president is a liar, because the president being a liar is better than digging deep into the russia investigation. how does that sit with you? >> he doesn't confess to being a liar. >> he directly contradicts president trump and what president trump had to say about stormy daniels, michael cohen and the payment, making the president a liar. >> but in the tweets this morning, he says he was not. rudy gave him a way out. the only thing that threatens this presi

can i press the minister to update the house on how his strategy is being conducted in practice?pstead is for nazanin to return home. all our constituents, including her husband richard who is in the gallery today believe that nazanin is innocent. she's british, and she deserves to know what her government is doing to secure her release and bring her to be reunited with herfamilies back home. and she asked if anything could be done to secure a temporary release so that mrs zaghari—ratcliffe could be free to celebrate her daughter gabriella's fourth birthday. the minister explained there were some questions he couldn't answer in public. but... 0ur ambassador spoke with mrs zaghari— ratcliffe on sunday as i indicated. he assured her in relation to the conduct of the case that she asked, that we continue to prioritise her case and do everything we can to bring about her release, including requesting consulate access, requesting access to medical reports and requesting a temporary furlough so that she can indeed celebrate gabriella's birthday with her family. the iranian judiciary ha

katia: what are other strategies you like? darren: discretionary macro-oriented strategies.been a challenge the last few years. the environment is characterized by global, coordinated central bank easing are challenging for these discretionary managers. these managers rely on fundamental research to uncover fundamental drivers of economy one vs. economy two. to the extent that central banks are leading the same way, volatility is low, volatility is artificially suppressed, it is a challenging environment. katia: the macro managers had a pretty good start to the year, but year to date already doing so spectacularly despite all the volatility in the market. why is that? do you see that turning around? darren: we are finally observing that central banks are doing different things. there is no more coordination, there's divergence of central-bank policy. in the absolute simplest form, hedge funds are looking to generate returns by trading fx orequity indices or credit local interest rates. they rely on interest-rate differentials between different economies to make some of these

they have not put out a counterterrorism strategy. they did talk about it in the counterterrorism strategy in some very traditional ways and i don't mean that is a bad thing, if anything a good thing, but it's hard to know when things change, what to make of the change if one doesn't have the strategic context. then there's also a very granular other side of the spectrum type of information sharing that strikes me as responsible. this is something luke feel strongly about as well which is information on what were doing after we've done it and in particular who it's killing in terms of combatants and noncombatants or civilians. this was something the previous administration work toward more slowly than some would like but worked hard and by the end they did so and entrenched the commitment in an executive order and ultimately they had a related obligation on the defense department in statute and when the deadline for both of those rolls around, just under a month ago the deadline was simply ignored. the information wasn't there. to tel

arctic strategy has yet to evolve to this changing dynamic. the concern i have is that rather than the arctic being this place for commerce, a stable area, with freedom of maneuver, that russia is positioning themselves to control the arctic, control its resources, control the sea lanes. at the northern sea route becomes a major shipping lane, russia is poised to be that sole power that could effectively anction or threaten to coerce, project power. we have had many conversations about this last may the deputy secretary of defense, bob works, spoke about the arctic not being a central concern in the 2014 national defense strategy. now we have the newly published 2018 strategy summary and it also does not specifically highlight the arctic region nor address how long long-standing gaps in arctic infrastructure will be addressed. i'm getting we have discussion abouts t i raise the issue of the arctic, and what we're seeing up north. again this very dynamic area. but i am reluctantly coming to the impression that the department of defense does not

in our long-term strategy are bigger strategy is to use the moment of stress because being. they make all kinds of mistakes under stress. to involve more and more young people in the young politics and to spread our ideas to prove and show people all around russia that everything is completely wrong for the russian state. the election day was one of the reasons to start a campaign. when they are able to get to the ballot. what is in what is it an election. there is no preliminary known answer. and should be grounded. and liberty to drive of full-scale containment. they announce the campaign. and they start to build up. if it's a real election which it wasn't. the integrated 84 original regional. it is the easternmost election into the organized humor. one basic agenda item. this is not an election unless not only is it permitted to run. and i think this has been quite successful. you have all of these. in the muscular unit. now they have dozens of regional headquarters operating all over the country. the number of people contributing to the funding. and it's multiplied the n

the strategy for israel he wants to transfer the people. he wants to be jewish -- the jerusalem and he want to in the history what it means jerusalem for the israel people. know happens now in gaza in jerusalem the israeli, he wants to killed around 75 people in gaza and in west bank and injured around 1,000 -- 10,000 injured in gaza and west bank and jerusalem and now israeli in six week arrest around 1,000 people. this is order-- this was used israeli because to broke the strategy for-- and if we remove this model like what happened in other towns against the war, this is a modern and small, but-- a follow these steps, of course. >> you know, it's important in jerusalem, when the people in jerusalem he broke the order the security door around -- because we used that mobile and every time he going to make the demonstration in morning, tonight and every time, and netanyahu and the government, the demonstration, he came back for all of them to build a door in al axa and the security door, what he-- >> the security. >> yes. this is what we ne

does that fire donors up, change strategy? i was asked if senate democrats had left them out to dry. how does that change her job? -- your job? mr. poersch: i think the president has a specific challenge in that we have had a set of special elections across the country house races, the senate race in alabama the virginia governor's race several tests across the country and republicans have struggled over and over again to be able to show that their base is going to turn out in a significant way. that remains their challenge going into the election. there are two things that are true. you are seeing a democratic base that is more motivated. that gets a lot of attention. it gets less attention that despite all those strategic before anree days election, that the president has been able to show much impact. he is clearly not on the ballot and hasn't proven himself able to improve turnout. steve: let me ask you about tennessee, is an open seat, senate bob corker was asked about his support for marsha blackburn saying he would vote

that was the overarching strategy the german strategy for high sea fleet. until you could try to the royal navy down to that point, you avoided that great fleet action decisive battle. the battle of jutland appended --t -- appended that that.ed -- upended the inflict more damage on the german grand fleet -- it was a tactical victory for germany, but a huge strategic victory for the allies and british royal navy. after jutland, the german high sortie in anyn't great numbers. it stayed here and rest of the way. that's rusted away. 1918 ande looking at the german naval mutinies, i'm sure it had a lot to do with the fact that the sailors were simply tied up to the pier with no action at all and their morale disintegrated and their capability disintegrated. this had a lot to do with the naval meet new that occurred in 1918. -- mutiny that occurred in 1918. that's why kaiser wilhelm the second abdicated and the war occurred shortly after. in 1916le of jutland was a huge strategic loss for germany and the high seas fleet. i will go into a little bit of the descrip

a strategy he used. since his false and racist birther claim that president obama was not born in this country. >> that was a lie. a lie he told for years. a lie he reportedly still clings to today. it served trumps purpose. he rose to prominence on it. do you think he regrets it? i doubt it. what lesson did he learn from it? i wonder. you may wonder. you may have been wondering through all of this why doesn't his own party stand up against this blatant disregard for the truth. it's telling that the few republicans who are speaking out against the president are leaving congress. like arizona senator jeff flake. ad his harvard law school commencement today, our presidency has been debased by a figure who has a bottom wills appetite for destruction and division. only a passing familiarity with how the constitution works. i do not think the founder could have anticipated the beauty of their invention might some day founder on the rocks of reality tv and the congress would be such willing polices to this cal

trump's legal strategy, is a legal strategy emerging from all of the appearances that you've seen from giuliani this past week? is that why he was hired? >> we missed something this week in the giuliani chaos storm and that is that the trump team is also suggested it's going to hire emmett t. flood the 4th, take that robert swan mueller the third. he's extremely esteemed lawyer and he might be able to do a coherent impeachment defense for trump. giuliani cannot. giuliani's is doing immediate strategy media strategy of create chaos that we've seen from so many other trump exponents including anthony scaramucci p. suggestions that giuliani won't be around very long. he's job while we sit here parsing and you did a good job explanation, we try to parse that for logic he's just throwing up more dry ice and sparkles and i don't know what. >> to that effect, does that create a credibility crisis, then, for this white house for all the people that are defending the trump administration because the president's counsellor, kellyanne conway, she attempted to try to clarify at least some of what

from inside the prison there lisa i mean it begs the question couldn't this strategy then backfire. well that's a very good question actually you know at the people that the government is trying to assess i'm not really at strictly speaking opening open books actually they will not tell the government everything they're thinking so that is the risk that the government will put together in these isolation brings people who are less radicalized and then others who are very radicalized and then the very radicalized one could contaminate the others and also when you look at it actually the people will stay in prison for a while and the government is not really focusing on dea radicalizing them during that time in prison but obviously france is still a state on that under the rule of law and they can keep them in prison forever at one point they will be released and will be out there and the chances are that the people who get out there are not radicalized yet and i wonder in france to radicalize the radicalized i wonder in in france what the public is saying about these measures against

, not a legal strategy. >> he is.his, that's about the most honesty we've heard from the white house or any affiliate of the white house because it's absolutely true. so let's remember that. the process drives the strategy. we know the process. back in 1973, there was a memorandum, right, from the office of legal counsel, addressing whether or not you can indict and president a sitting president. the answer? no. 27 years after that in 2000, it was reaffirmed, the answer, can you indict a sitting president? no. mueller has said that he will follow that extent, it's not driven by law and general legal channels, but it's driven by congress, and reminding people of the process, we know that a majority of congress has to vote out the articles of impeachment, and two-thirds or 67 senators presuming it passes the house have to vote to convict, and as long as the numbers stay where they are, i mean, the fact is that i would argue that president trump would be immune. remember briefly, when it came back to clinton, it was comp

that repetition is a key part of the strategy here. if you hear him say the same thing over and over and over it gets into your head. you may even start to wonder if there's some truth to it. that's exactly what the president and has allies want. to put that question in the back of your mind. it is a strategy he's used since he first stormed into the political stage with his false and racist claims that president barack obama was not born in this country. >> i want him to show his birth certificate. there's something on that birth certificate -- >> that was a lie. a lie he told for years. a lie he reportedly still clings to today but it served trump's purpose, he rose to prom nance on it. what lesson do you think he learned from it? i wonder. and you may wonder. you may have been wondering through all of this why doesn't his own party stand up against this disregard for the truth. it's telling that the true republicans who are speaking out against the president are leaving congress. like arizona senator jeff flake. in his address today

that is, you know, it is a political strategy and maybe that will work. >> it is. by the way, john, it is working. we have seen how republicans are responding in the polls and looking at the mueller investigation. this constant hammering and politicizing of this investigation, it does seem to be working with the president's supporters and beyond that a little bit inside his party which is key. but what i do think is important to note here too is that the president seems committed to a strategy on fighting back on the obstruction of justice charge, the potential charge, that he laid out in january when, remember, he met with reporters in john kelly's office in a stop by, and he -- we're still in the same place all these months later, he calls what he did fighting back. and he thinks that's what investigators are calling obstruction of justice and he still seems committed to a strategy that that is the case he's going to make, that is simply just fighting back. >> we have seen so much shake-up is an understatement on the legal team. so emmet flood is coming into the

candidates are using trump as the best messaging strategy. what is the best or who is the best messaging strategy for democrats this cycle? >> even in the states that i talked about earlier with trump, where he is popular and he won by large margins, there is a good says that this is a check and balance year and people are looking for strong leaders that, yes, are willing to work with the president to show willingness to work with his agenda worth makes sense. the same time, act as a voice for their individual state, what senators like tester do quite well. see i expect is, you will republican, democrats, and democratic voters across the board, looking for someone who will stand up to the president when it means we are putting the voters interests first rather than party. >> when the president gets involved in races like these, telling him to resign and not to -- and voters not to vote for fire of does that donors? how does that change your job? i think they're president has a very specific challenge. set of special elections across the count

we allocated $76 million in direct contracts on 299 programs and six strategies. the strategies are educational support, enrichment leadership and skill building, justice services, mentorship, out of school time and youth work force development. for more context on the r.f.p., we received 693 proposals and funded 299 of them. 248 different agencies applied and 152 were awarded funds. so there were requests totalling $180 million and dcyf allocated that annually. 40 funding measures over 26 funding strategies and we're working to develop those for the newer plans coming forward in july. the primary data sources for this performance information are service and participation data that we capture in our contract management system. it provides a detailed look, but departmental performance is also provided in the performance measures that we provide to the controller's office each year. dcyf prioritized the lowest income neighborhoods where children and youth are expected to have the greatest need. this really reflected work that was done in our community needs assessme

the goal of the palestinian people is stability and strategy. we have the security of united nations, but everything is on the back of trump. he wants to send a message everywhere. hear inwhat we need to palestine and the middle east. the strategy for trump-pence andnyahu in -- for trump in the middle for trump and-- netanyahu in the middle east. netanyahu said in october, in the west bank, we have antifada. without order, what the people do is done alone. happened in the first or second antifada. we need to see the new strategy for the palestinians. we have to stop the biggest settlement. bank.st in the west people in 25 mosques. russia, sleeping in the home. they be terrorists without the protection -- they would be terrorists without the protection of the israeli soldiers. there is an international his --ation accusing and the israeli regime of terror gas exchanges. the palestinians are saying they will investigate is really were crimes.0- israeli war >> it is kind of a theory. each and every occupation around the world, the first thing they

that the company rallied around, so the company would build a strategy, and the it organization built, things are completely different now. technology is actually at the heart of every strategy of every company, every city every country around the world, and so technology is no longer something that i spend when it's convenient. it is at the heart of everything everybody is doing. i think you'll see a much more consistent it spending environment from our customers and then when you also look at the importance of cybersecurity as we connect billions and billions of new devices the entire focus on security continues to increase which is another area our customers continue to spend on. maria: so what's the outlook then for the rest of the year and into next year? >> well it feels like right now notwithstanding major macro geo political issue that we're operating in an environment as you and i talked about in davos where there's probably the most consistent optimism around the world when you look at customer segments you look at geographies , you look at emerging countries this past quart

>> that's exactly the trump administration's strategy. to simply say it's very confusing but my ira is doing quite well and my kids have jobs so why should i care. >> up until the mueller report, they say a hanging concentrates the mind. once that report is out, it will be all written down. mueller hasn't said anything. all of the trump surrogates are defining our reality. that mueller report is out. and that i think will change everything. >> i'm here to help. you shouldn't want that thing wrapped up in september. you should be pushing it until next year. that's probably a better strategy. coming up, thank you, all. how the response to the deadly school shooting in santa fe texas is, again, so upsetting, but very different from previous mass shootings. two student survivors join us to talk about how they're moving forward. first, we continue to monitor gun violence across the country. according to the trace, there have been, are you ready for this number, 22,190 incidents of gun violence so far this year. 433 since friday. the sun comes

purpose builds profits or at least that's the strategy. really it's a question of can you actually deliver it? that's what we're questioning with starbucks today. they're under pressure to show their leadership and their impact on these very sensitive issues of gender and race and it really is a question of, you know, what they deliver once they actually do this. the most important thing is they are saying they're prepared to take a hit in their business to actually do something right, so in a sense that shows the goodwill of their intent. >> does it match up with their pledge of social responsibility? it seems as though it does. >> it really aligns very well, actually, with the core strategy at starbucks. in fact, part of their vision statement wraps around inspiring and nurturing the human spirit. so i can't think of two better subjects than gender and race to actually answer that as a strategy and show that it really delivers what it means. so it's not so much your ability as a business, it's more about the choices you make that define

i don't see how it's a successful pr strategy. if you want a successful pr strategy, you lay out facts that people can understand and repeat. michael avenatti has been doing that. he claims he has a lot more. he's just been rolling it out. he has been playing this sort of reality tv show game better than donald trump has. he's beating him at his own game. >> i want to play for you what anthony scaramucci said about this. here it is. >> stormy daniels or stephanie clifford and michael avenatti are on the hunt to take down donald j. trump. they want to put a hurt on him. they have a process in place where they're trying to do that. the president by and large has done a good job of isolating this whole story away from any bad outcomes for the president. and i think the mayor, despite all the hullabaloo, he hat gotten information out there and developing a strategy to protect the president. >> what do you think of that? >> that is the opposite of true. the russia investigation, we've reached convergence of the stormy daniels story and

what is the strategy here? >> i can't believe it's a strategy, don.t really, i think it's just totally ad-hoc. it's rudy showing off his newfound power and he's really pushing the envelope when he's doing it. the whole scene in the news room today made me flash back on ron ziegler, who was nixon's press secretary during watergate. ziegler had a real thing about not going into the press room and losing the confidence through dishonest statements to the press. and when he didn't feel he could brief, he didn't go out. he went out -- he sent one of his deputies out. when he realized he had all of his facts wrong, he declared everything inoperative, and tried to keep some honor. and as you know, he survived it and came through it all with a good reputation. >> josh, you asked for it, so i'm going to play this. this is rudy giuliani appearing to compare the federal agents who raided cohen's office in their investigation to nazi stormtroopers. watch this. >> the only possible violation there would be was it a campaign finance violation? which usually would r

not only was this probably personally wounding, but this was wounding to his legal strategy. because he had been spending so much time with his lawyers going over this, it was just a moment of total befuddlement for him. >> we started with the president's white house lawyer trying to replace himself with emmet flood. he's going into the white house to take the lead on the russia investigation and we learned from two sources that he may ultimately replace don mcgahn. the president goes through lawyers faster than he goes through wives. >> what am i supposed to do with that? >> it shows the chaos -- >> no one wants to stay on the job representing him legally. >> no one wants to stay on the job, and he doesn't want them to stay on the job. he loves them the moment he likes the idea, the moment they walk through the door. and then within about a week or two is when we start hearing the leaks about how the president doesn't like this person any more and the president said something -- >> bad job on tv. >> you don't look good, you're not sounding good. there is chaos in the buildin

that changes his whole strategy.'t indict the president, that will change decisions about how they relate to mueller. >> can i say one thing, and i'm not a lawyer, although i play one, right, but neither clinton nor nixon were forced to participate in a criminal proceeding. clinton was forced in a civil deposition and nixon was forced to produce the tapes as we all know. so this has not yet been challenged, as you point out. >> that's true. but the supreme court, glad you point it out, supreme court was clear, you did great, gloria. it is very clear if the court would find it is necessary for you to still stand and be part of a civil suit, courts looking at a civil case has a higher gravitas. the real thing guiliani is getting wrong is conflating whether you can stand for criminal trial, whether you can indict a sitting president, whether he is indictable and whether you can subpoena. they're different legal concepts. it is probably true he made that statement. existing policy is not binding and written in stone, but
