Political Pundits

I think presidents by the nature of their office frequently have relationships with media outlets and the upper reaches of those media outlets to try to promote or kill certain thing. I don't think that's new.

You've got a lot of people just going in loops and cycles. I'm not talking about news people. We got to cover this news. I'm talking about Progressive activists who talk about Russia all day and don't talk about jobs any day.

From a political point of view, if you're looking honestly, you do not have the ability to both impeach and remove this guy.

What I'm not for is giving massive tax breaks, massive giveaways to rich people and then throwing poor people under the bus.

We said we wanted to cut premiums. This CBO score says it does. We said we want to cut the deficit. The CBO score says it does.

Well, the bill says we're going to spend $500 billion on Medicaid by 2027. Today, I think we spent $389 billion. So, there's actually more spending on Medicaid.

But Donald Trump is betraying his base and his promises with this bill.

I think in the short term, yes. I don't think this is a long-term problem, necessarily, for credibility, but in the short term, absolutely.

If the Democrats go on and lose this race, it is extraordinarily demoralizing.

I think if we were preparing to combat the Russians and what they plan to do in the future based on what they've already done, we wouldn't be doing it out in the open.

Well, as a political matter, you have to admire someone that has full confidence in what he is saying out loud.

If it were to become known publicly that there is a taping system, how much candid advice would the president be getting from whoever happened to walk through the door if you know you're being tape recorded?

If the best thing we can say about the president is that he was only called a liar and we weren't able to prove he was a criminal today, that's not a good day for the president.

This is the most -- the biggest opportunity for jobs, innovation, and entrepreneurship in America. And the president of the United States is about to throw it under the bus, possibly. And it's wrong.

You have an agreement that American captains of industry say this is great for us and Donald Trump to make -- do on some crazy campaign promise apparently is going to go against American industry, innovation, and workers.

This American president pulling the rug out from under an American industry, this guy says he wants to be -- have America first.

But what it does is, and why American CEOs are begging, please don't move the goalposts here, is it sets a clear standard for everybody and we can outcompete folks.

Until the Democrats come up with a message that actually appeals to rural America, they're going to keep losing elections here.

Hillary Clinton was openly disdainful of Appalachia. She said she was going to put coal miners and coal companies out of business.

I think there's some arrogance and condescension in that viewpoint. Look, Kentuckians are proud Americans.

Well, I think you can always anecdotally find people who don't like a politician that they recently voted for. But on the whole here, Wolf, in Kentucky, where I live, Donald Trump is still overwhelmingly popular.

His lawyer says he wants to cooperate with anyone that wants to talk.

The election was a major rejection of that. That still exists. And now we're bogged down in the middle of investigations and all this stuff.

If it was true, that Seth Rich gave Wikileaks the e-mails, wouldn't that blow the whole Russia collusion narrative that the media has been pushing out of the water?
