in donald trump's own words. collusion with a foreign government to help donald trump's reelection campaign by hurting a candidate running against donald trump. there's a lot of talk about biden's son, that biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. whatever you can do. that's what the president of the united states wanted in that conversation from the president of ukraine. whatever you can do to help the reelection campaign of donald trump. that is the donald trump, jr., meeting at trump tower with russians during the presidential campaign on steroids. >>> leading off our discussion tonight is former director of the white house situation room where he managed president obama's phone calls with other heads of state. he is also a former chief of staff to the director of the c.i.a. larry, thank you for coming back tonight. we have the transcript. you've seen the transcript. and i just want to get a basic verificati

but there is a sense of trump does this. he has call for an investigation into virtually everyone and everything with which -- with whom he finds objectionable. so you heard the same thing when he was tweeting about jeffrey epstein and the clintons. this is kind of more par for the course. but i can't see an argument how this is a winning argument for him to be asking eight times in one phone call -- which is a lot of times to be asking anyone for anything in one phone call. >> that is a lot of times. >> but we already know from early on when the president was asked by george testify an on list in an interview, if you were going to get information from a foreign entity on an opponent, would that be okay and he said, yeah, i would take that, that would be fine. so we know this man has no skupl skuples -- scruples and i was thinking about the days on the dang map and about alabama and the hurricane and -- you have to believe that a man who is willing to not only do that, but to then talk about it for eight days and actually fo

what did president trump say in private? the wall street joatnal reported late fridayhat trump, quote, repeatedly pressured zelensky aboutes eight t to work with giuliani. but the source did not believe theresident offered any quid pro quo. here's what he said friday at aa news conference. >> it doesn't matter what i discussed. i ll say this. somebody ought to look into joe biden's statement becauset was disgraceful where he talked about billions of dollars tt he's not giving to a certain country unlessta c prosecutor is taken off the case. so somebody ought to look into that. and y wouldn't, becausee's a democrat. >> joining me tonight, kayla tausche, wasngton correspondentor cnbc. michael crowley, white house correspondent for the new york times.sa desjardins, congressional correspondent for the p newshour and vivian salama, white house reporter for the wall street journal. michael, you're a national security reporter, white house reporter athe new york times. what else have we learned about this complaint? >> well,e knowh

plus a trump slump. a new cnn poll revealing what could be a great concern to the president and his re-election hopes, and polls about to close in a crucial special election that has national implications. results expected to come in this hour. let's go "out front". >>> good evening. i'm erin burnett. out front tonight. it was personal. we are learning more this hour about the bitter breakup between trump and bolton. a source tells cnn that president turned on his now former national security adviser john bolton because he thought bolton made him look bad this week. bolton wanted to humiliate bolton in an exchange. there's bolton at the white house 8:44 a.m. this morning, work as usual taking a phone call outside and he then went in and led a meeting with top administration officials and then, boom, a tweet. the operative part of that tweet, quote, i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house. well, that's not bolton's version. sources tell cnn bolton was li

donald trump. you thought he is showing himself to be a sort of perfect proxy for trump. he's transmitting communicating values. i was watching this, the national geographic videos the bird does a mating dance for another bird. that was corey lewandowski for trump. minus the eroticism. >> i can hear everybody's headphones in the control room. >> was it not? >> quite a picture. >> it's true. listen, katherine, at several points he was straight up trolling democrats. questioning him. >> you should be here to be telling the truth. the truth will set you free. in the american people. i yield back. >> the time expired. witness may answer. >> i don't believe there was a question. >> very well. >> yes, there was. >> can you repeat the question. it was a rant. >> are you ashamed of the word you wrote down? >> i'm very happy of what i have written. you're welcome to read it. >> are you ashamed to read it out loud? >> i'm not ashamed of anything in life. are you? >> that's mr. president to you. there are responses about ruining the tooth fairy. it's so simple. you're ruining tooth

what trump has been saying, president trump has been saying, which is not just the nukes, but also missiles and regional stability. >> sure, but you're still seeing some fissures between the western coalition that weren't there before and i think that's the most dangerous part of the u.s. strategy since president trump took over. if you wanted to scuttle the deal and put forward something new, he didn't do the work he needed to do to bring the rest of the western coalition together. that was the strength of the obama deal, that it brought the western coalition together behind this common goal and put real pressure on iran. since then, iran has felt emboldened to be more aggressive and the west has been fractured. >> chris: and in less than 30 seconds, jillian, where do you see this headed between washington and tehran? war, peace, or continue stalemate? >> well, you're such an experienced reporter -- [laughter] >> chris: i didn't even interrupt you! >> i don't unfortunately think it's going where president trump wants it to go, a trumpet nuclear deal 2.0 even though the european allies are

and donald trump knows that. this is a hit job on the son, the last surviving son, his brother passed away. this is the last son. part of the reason why joe biden didn't run for president in 2016, because he wanted to take care after his family after he lost beau. this is an achilles hill of joe biden psychically. and donald trump is like where can i go to get the oppo to get at this guy's heart. >> because i have no conscience, i have no morals and i don't care about using the united states government and possibly foreign aid to carry out my campaign. >> correct. and if that's ukraine or if that's utah, donald trump is going to go wherever he needs to go and do whatever he needs to do, no matter how unethical, immoral, or illegal it is. that's what this story is about more than anything. >> what did you want to say about quid pro quo? >> is that i never liked to try to second guess or get under the skin of the reporting of excellent journalists like those at the "wall street journal" and those in other places. t

donald trump. but if people think you're coming for their cheeseburgers, you'll lose this election. but then there's this. a majority of democrats do seem to agree on one thing. a new npr/pbs/marist poll finds nearly 2/3 of democrats surveyed, 58%, say it's more important to have a nominee who can beat donald trump. 39% want a nominee who shares their views. we're so happy to have back with us tonight john heilemann, our national affairs analyst, co-author of "game change," co-author of "double down," co-host and co-creator of "the circus" on showtime. where do you come down on the rick wilson theory espoused by many others, if you legislate cheeseburgers, drinking straws, light bulbs, you're going to lose. >> yeah. i think those are all issues that create a target-rich environment for the trump campaign. and you can see it after this climate event the other night. you watched the way the trump campaign -- i was on the show with you. >> every night on fox news they're doing it. >> you saw what they

trump 2024. your reaction. >> well, maybe he expects to eryone assumes if trump loses in 2020, we're done with him. why do we think that? you know? >> bill kristol, thank you. steve kornacki, that's why they pay bill kristol the big bucks. steve, this broader question, and i know you never do opinion. but if you're looking for danger signs for the republican party in the american suburbs writ large, i know a guy like you could find them. >> it's right there. it's mecklenburg county. i say it's geographically tiny. it's right here. dan mccready, it's a 12 point win for dan mccready. all the votes are counted there. this is actually better than mccready did last year. he won it by 10 then. he wins it by 12 tonight. in this same slice of the district, trump won by three in 2016. so this is a densely populated area that trump was able to carry as a candidate. but as president twice now in a congressional election, it's gone double digits for the democrat. if you have that happening in mecklenburg cou

trump's former lawyer and fixer michael cohen who did trump's bidding for a decade and is now spending three years in prison for helping to cover up trump's misdeeds tried to warn us. trump associates and the republicans of the dangers of doing said dirty work. >> he doesn't give you questions. he doesn't give you orders. he speaks in a code. >> donald trump said i would like you to do us a favor though. >> my ambition and the intoxication of trump power had much to do with the bad decisions in part that i made. >> the quote meeting or phone call between the president and president zelensky would depend on whether he showed willingness to play ball. >> this is his country. >> i want to know who is the person that gave the whistleblower the information. because that is close to a spy. you know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart, right, with spies and treason. used to handle them a little differently. >> i can only warn people the more people it that follow mr. trump as i did blindly are going to suffer the same consequences that i'm suffering. >> joining me now, jonat

president trump says that he is not seeking war with iran. >> president trump: i don't want war with anybody, but with all of that being said, we'd certainly like to avoid it. >> president trump has not promised to saudi arabia that he will come to their defense. he says that the u.s. and saudis will have to sit down and work that out. he will meet with the iranian president, hassan rouhani next week. >> president trump: we'll see what happens. i think they would like to make a deal. i know they'd like to make a deal. they'd like to do it on certain terms and conditions, and we won't do that. >> the president, today though, disputed the parameters of any meeting. saying "the fake news is saying that i am willing to meet with iran. that is a fake statement as usual." the white house has said that president trump would meet without preconditions. >> president trump: no preconditions. no. if they want to meet, i'll meet you. >> he is happy to take a meeting with no preconditions. >> president trump: not as far as i'm concerned. no preconditions. >> some democrats suggest that iran may h

the reluctant trump voters. is there a concern around the president that the reluctant trump voters are turned off by behavior like this? >> there is concern among the president's advisers in general about the path to 2020. i think they see a path. it involves winning all the states they won in 2016 or maybe they're very interested in minnesota right now as a place they can play offense. they see some ways around this. but there's real concern that this is not in the bag, that, yes, some of these reluctant trump voters who -- and you see this in the primary challengers he has. people like joe walsh who is a long shot candidate who is not going to be the republican nominee, but he was a trump supporter in 2016 because he hated clinton. and he says now i have seen him in office, and i've had a change of heart. this can't go on. and the idea for people like walsh is that this creates a permission structure for other people who voted for trump in 2016 to say, you know, it's not embarrassing to say he didn't -- i got

trump. >> exactly right. the president of the united states in that clip you just showed admitted he doesn't know right from wrong. these foreign powers aren't coming to give him information because they're great people who want to do a good thing. they're coming because they want something. they want to affect the process. they want him to owe them on the ba back end. bipartisanly, if any normal sane, administration, would walk away and call the fbi. in the closest election of our lifetime, gore v. bush, someone sent the gore campaign a bunch of bush debate tapes. they immediately picked up the package and took it to the fbi. you don't accept these kind of things. it is ridiculous. as you know, i do a bunch of international campaigns now. foreign actors are in all of these elections and after what russia got for what they did in 2016, why wouldn't they? i mean, they're playing everywhere and the world's police cop, the united states, is out there saying it's okay. president of the united states, george steph

foreign policy may have more surprises in store during trump's. than hawkins that we discussed bolton's dismissal with the former u.s. naval intelligence officer steve rogers and also the former u.s. congressman ron paul. john bolton was rather more hawkish than any national security advisor that i've seen at least in my lifetime he was opposed to the president taking steps to sit with foreign leaders across the table look when president trump suggested that lattimer putin be invited to the g. 7 summit was opposed to that the president recently want the taliban to come to camp david and talk and so it seemed to be a situation where the national security advisor john bolton was not respecting the wishes of the president united states the president is the duly elected representative of this country and mr bolton had an obligation to support the president's policies. also i had a lot of disagreement with secretary of state might pompei oh and as a result we now see what this culminated in today every time i think trump is making progress bold you kno

favorite -- president trump's favorite dictator abdel fattah el-sisi. >> trump and cc have permitted a close relationship. devoid of any kind of criticism of each other. dangerous, could be that it further embmboldens sisi to crackdown even further without even the kind of muted criticism that we heard from previous administrations. amy: we will speak to democracy now! correspondent sharif abdel kouddous. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. president trump faces the biggest political crisis of his career after the publication of bombshell complaints accusing the president of abusing his power for personal gain. in the nine page document, and i named whistleblower was been identified as a cia official, writes -- "the president of the united states is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 u.s. election." the complaint corroborates a rough transcript of a july 25th phone call -- released by the white house on wednesday -- showing that trump repeatedly pres

trump saying the u.s. does a lot for ukraine, so now it's time to do us a favor, and it's, quote, very important you do it and then get into the point on the talk, he said, about biden's son. adam schiff said it was more like a mob boss than a president. >> what those notes reflect is a classic mafia-like shakedown of a foreign leader. like any mafia boss, the president didn't need to say, that's a nice country you have, it would be a shame if something happened to it, because that was clear from the conversation. >> he is quoting, of course, "the untouchables." >> nice to have a family. >> yes, it is. >> a man should take care to see that nothing happens to them. >> it's not just democratic critics. you are looking at the cover of the great journalistic institution the new yorker where you see trump and giuliani literally pushing uncle sam off a bridge with his feet in cement. i'm with author of "all alone on the 68th floor" and robert dietz, former counselor to the cia and former general counsel at the n

trump. caucusmembers of your are fighting here they are having an explosive fight now. one is a member of your -- pretty explosive fight on twitter right now. he is calling her a warmonger, she is insulting his approval ratings. do you think this speaks to a split in the party that is rupturing over it? >> it is simply that. people can have a discussion about policy that is healthy. the difference is when it comes to the democratic party, you have got new freshmen members who are now primary the number two, the chairman of ways and means, the number four, the chairman of appropriations, the social justice who believes they have to purify their party because they want to become social democrats. that is a battle and that is a war and a problem the democrats have. the republicans have never been more united. don't take my word, take members on the stage. look at the polling itself with this president. no president, not even ronald reagan had as much support in the party as president trump. i d

sanford is a trump critic who lost his congressional seat in 2018 after being defeated by a pro-trump challenger in the primaries. democrat joe cunningham eventually won the seat. he is the third republican to challenge trump for the 2020 nomination, joining former massachusetts governor bill weld and former illinois congressmember joe walsh. sanford however will be able to run in a primary in his own state since the south carolinana republican party voted to skip the presidential primary next year to save money and throw the state's support behind the trump campaign. president trump is set to appoint another judge to the 11th circuit court of appeals. one of the court's judges said last week he will take senior status, meaning trump can appoint a new judge to succeed him. last month, another judge also announced he will also become a senior judge. in total, trump will have appointed five of the 12 judges on the court, which covers alabama, georgia, and florida, and hears many civil rights cases, as well as death penalty and voting rights cases. since trtrump came into office,e has ap

president trump himself. that would be like the president of the ireland deciding to sleep in princeton, new jersey while on an official visit to washington, d.c. princeton, new jersey is exactly the same distance from washington as the trump hotel is from dublin, about 180 miles. and it's not just ridiculous. at least one constitutional scholar believes that this is illegal. harvard constitutional law professors lawrence tribe tweeted, quote, getting pence and team to stay at the trump property on ireland's west coast and commute daily to and from the meetings on ireland's east coast, all to line trump's pockets, isn't just a waste of tax dollars, it violates the article ii domestic emoluments clause, the constitution says the president shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased forediminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and she shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the united states or any of them. pr

elizabeth warren ahead of trump 44-42. cory booker ahead of trump 43-41. kamala harris ahead of trump 45-44. the poll did not include any other democratic candidates in one-on-one match-ups against donald trump in texas. joining our discussion now is jason johnson. he's the politics editor at theroot.com and professor of politics and media at morgan state university. and jennifer rubin is with us. she's an opinion writer at the "washington post." both are msnbc political analysts. and jennifer, these are bad numbers for donald trump. and that's before john bolton's memoirs are published. >> yes, it is. two things jumped out at me. one is what he was surviving on was his handling of the economy. and in both those polls he's down on that measure. the other thing that's interesting is i've been watching white women and white college-educated women, for the first time you see white non-college-educated women abandoning trump in droves. so i think if you're a republican looking at this mess you're thinking, oh boy, are we in trouble. and if you're a democratic

trump's support is not going up. his base has stayed the same so part of what the party has to do, the democratic party is energize its voters. pelosi keeps using a sort of old political model. it's wonderful when she can do it in terms of keeping him from giving a state of the union address, but i actually think she is not in line with where the party is moving. >> so brittney is talking about energizing the voter, energizing the democratic base. but what about the argument about wanting to protect certain people that could help win this election come 2020, making certain they don't alienate certain voters come 2020. >> it's a good argument. first of all, the base is motivated. you can not find a democratic primary voter who is not super excited to go out and vote against donald trump. so i think her calculation is will impeachment help or hinder the effort to get him out of office? i suspect she would rather have him beaten at the ballot box than have an impeachment vote that succeeds in the house but fails in the

the democrats hate donald trump because donald trump stands up and fight back. for years the democrat is used to doing anything and say anything and have branded the republicanss as races all down through the years and they rather retire, lay down, rolled over and take it. because they know that most people that most democrats will not vote and go through history and find out the truth about the democrats. okay, and another thing. they tell tales about his children that working in the white house getting paid. they are not getting paid. donald trump to not take his pay, and the pay fsa he has to take him he donates that to charity. >> host: congressman, what do you think? >> guest: i like her attitude, but you know, the thing i will say with respect to this investigation and i think she alludedlu to that is they have called for so many investigations on the president. how many times can you cry wolf packs it just seems they built up so much hope among their base that the mueller report would be the silver bullet that would lead to impeachment, and when they came

this is trump addressing the general assembly. pres. trump: all nations have a duty to act. no responsible government should .ubsbsidize e iran's bloodlust as long as arends menacing behavior continues, sanctions will not be lifted. they will be tightened. amy:y: p president trurump alsld out at china and venezuela. for more, we go to santa fe, new mexico, where we're joined by vijay prashad, whose article on salon is headlined "world leaders gather at the u.n. in the face of war, climate catastrophe & global worker exploitation." he is the director of tricontinental institute for social research and chief editor of leftword books. also chief correspondent of globetrotter and author of "the poorer nations: a possible history of the global south", we thank you for being with us. can you respond to what now seems like ancient history, which was actually just yesterday morning president trump addressing the u.n. general assembly right before, a few hours before it was announced the house would begin formal impeachment proceedings against him? talk about his message. >> you're q

trump is catering to mr. putin who is dedicated to undermining ukrainian democracy and exception, but says "the washington post," but we are reliably told that the president has a second and more venal agenda. he is attempting to force the new leader of ukraine to intervene in the 2020 u.s. presidential election by launching an investigation of the leading democratic presidential candidate joe biden. what? mr. trump is not just soliciting ukraine's help with his presidential campaign, he is using u.s. military aid that country desperately needs in an attempt to extort it. the news tonight is bananas. we have known president trump is holding up the aid to ukraine. we have known that is dodgy, given how much of a favor that is to vladimir putin and russia and given that the president is contradicting the pentagon in insisting holding back the money, given that the trump administration hasn't said anything about the fact they are doing this, they hope no one will notice. it's been obvious that something dodgy an

trump's -- sought by president trump's allies. rudy giuliani was on several cable news programs last night. this is what he wrote on twitter, the democratic owned media is going crazy over the ukraine, but first let them report how vice president biden bribed the president of ukraine to fire the investigator investigating hillary. tweet aliani goes on to president telling a president elect of a well-known corrupt country, he better investigate corruption that affects the united states is doing his job. maybe if obama did that, the biden family would not have built millions from ukraine and billions from china. rudy giuliani on twitter last night. crystal in fargo, north dakota, you are next. good morning. so much fork you allowing all sides to speak and thank you for that. regarding this foreign policy, i don't think the president has violated the laws like herbert said. most of us do trust president trump and i am continuously dismayed at all the attacks that are against president trump, his supreme court justice nominee, but bas

the reluctant trump voters. there a concern around the president that the reluctant trump voters are turned off by behavior like this? >> there is concern among the president's advisers in general about the path to 2020. i think they see a path. it involves winning all the states they won in 2016 or maybe they're very interested in minnesota right now as a place they can play offense. they see some ways around this. but there's real concern that this is not in the bag, that, yes, some of these reluctant trump voters who -- and you see this in the primary challengers he has. people like joe walsh who is a long shot candidate who is not going to be the republican nominee, but he was a trump supporter in 2016 because he hated clinton. and he says now i have seen him in office, and i've had a change of heart. this can't go on. and the idea for people like walsh is that this creates a permission structure for other people who voted for trump in 2016 to say, you know, it's not embarrassing to say he didn't -- i got it

trump was present. he lies almost every time he opens his mouth and is the danger to this country. he cannot put anybody else's interests ahead of his own. not debating bill. i got all the respect in the world for bill. bill like me knows and understands what the problem is. and the is an unfit president in the white house to take those divided country and is dividing. >> that your time. my thanks to business insider and analysts and moderators pressure. and lopez and is the great thing you are doing. my name is bill wells and i am running for president of the united states as a republican. what i need to know about me since i am wrestling running for president. i think all you really need to know about me is that i am a very relaxed calm person. like the congressman, i am comfortable in my own skin. unlike certain other people and i'm not scared of anybody. i was head of the criminal division of the justice department. i think that no one else should be scared of anybody. i'm a great believer in releas

barr -- trump needs william barr more than william barr needs trump? >> right. >> he's spending $30,000 out of his own pocket. of all of the expen at thditure the one i find questionable. >> mr. barr is a very bright person. he didn't take a long time hanging out there in this new role. he's one of the more recent cabinet members to figure out how it works and how to ingratiate. that's a chilling statement when we're talking about matters of literally life and death. i mean, who lives and who dies and who protects the prisons and how do executions work and his focus was not only in getting a holiday party planned and getting it leaked that he's spending the money that way. on a lighter note do you know how you can tell whether a continental breakfast is solid on the road? >> i do not, please tell me. >> my test. i love a free included continental is whether there's multiple types of juice. if i come in and it's only o.j., it's okay. if i see the grapefruit juice, this holiday inn, on the campaign trail. >> ari, breakfast was included at the dunebeg for

attorney general bill barr and trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani trump without offering evidence accuses biden of ending a conflict of interest probe into his son hunter biden took a lucrative position on the board of ukraine's biggest gas company in 2014 while his father was directing u.s. policy there in the summary of the phone calls alinsky promised his top prosecutor in his words will look into this situation but with trump it is side ukraine's leader says he did not pursue it i'm sorry but i don't want to be involved to do all. elections. anyone you know that question that is the answer a whistleblower in the u.s. intelligence community alarmed by trump's apparent use of state power for political gain reported the president's call to an inspector general however the complaint was not passed on to congress under instruction from the white house and the justice department amid the fear it has now been passed to lawmakers i found the deeply disturbing. i also found them very credible i can understand why the inspector general found them credible the house intelligence committe

funds for trump's border wall. trump's wall will require over $18 billion in funding through 2020, far more than the administration has publicly disclosed. so how do they plan to make up for this new funding shortfall? if lawmakers refuse to allocate more funding, they plan to dip into the pentagon's construction budget for the second consecutive year to get another $3.6 billion. the post reports this was discussed last week by trump's son-in-law jared kushner. if the administration carries out the plan, the white house will have defied congress to divert a total of $7.2 billion in aid. the white house is proposing to double the funding cutting to u.s. military bases overseas and here in the u.s. but, hey, no one supports the military like donald trump. watch this space. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, every day can begin with flakes. it's a reminder of your struggles with psoriasis. but what if your psoriasis symptoms didn't follow you around? that's why there's ilumya. with just 2 doses, a majori

it is trump and fox, fox and trump. the president gets his briefings from fox, he gets led by fox, often misled by fox. and he firms up his base through the network. but he has also been complaining about the network. in fact more than 20 times this year by my count. this week he claims fox changed so much that the network, quote, isn't working for us anymore. what an even credincredible $5 . fox really thinks that trump longs to him and his supporters. fox really thinks that trump longs to him and his supporters. i think the anti-media messages lastly against fox and "post" and cnn reflect insecurity. with the re-election campaign 00 his mind, he doesn't want voters to know about the messy reality of life in the trump white house. he hates the leaks and he really hates when people especially on fox cover his democratic rivals. so he lashes out. he sees segments like this with the dnc 130s woman being interviewed on fox. his own spokesman was on the air a few minutes later, but he hated seeing the democratic spokeswoman

trump did not discuss the aide in the july 25 call. so yes, as the times says, questions have emerged. we know the white house held up military aid that is intended to help the ukraine stand up with russia. we have reports that the president pressured ukraine to have a political rival. the question now, the question that reporters were furiously fitting into, whether or not that is an explanation or not, the effect may be the same. that is what they told andrea mitchell today. >> giuliani said he is trying to get the ukrainians to meddle. he says he had no intent to do that but he was very concerned about why the security aide was being cut off and even if there was not this explicit promise, that was certainly the impression. they could not help but connect these demands they were getting, and the sudden surprising cut off of security haid. >> that scenario is scary and repugnant on it's own terms no matter who the president is and what country he is putting the screws on. the ukraine is not just any country. they are at the center of

you know how trump is. if you don't come from central casting he doesn't particularly like you, and i think right now -- i think it will be fascinating to see who he's going to bring on board. you know, he's probably going to go out and try to find the most disgraced general he could find at this point, probably general boykin or somebody who was fired from their job and say okay, i've got a general who's more like me in this position. but the real problem here is bolton resigned, and he made it very clear to fox news he res n resigned. >> yeah. >> and everyone who's worked this job who has been fired will not come to the american people and tell us this president is unfit and maybe this is part of that national security and classified information problem we keep having with president trump. maybe he doesn't want a national security adviser because tearing down u.s. national security seems to be his full-time job. >> well, let me take that to rick stangle as a diplomat. when you look at what is now a clip o
