>> NEIL: AS SOON AS YOU SET UP
HERE APPARENTLY THE PRESIDENT
TWEET.
>> NEIL, PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST
DEPARTED THE WHITE HOUSE LAST
YEAR.
WHEN YOU GIVE A CRAZED CRYING
LOW LIFE A BREAK AND GIVE HER A
JOB AT THE WHITE HOUSE, I GUESS
IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
GOOD WORK BY GENERAL KELLY FOR
QUICKLY FIRING THAT DOSMG
QUICKLY FIRING THAT DOGMG
QUICKLY FIRING THAT DOG.G
>> ONE OF THE TWEETS SAID HE WAS
SAD TO SEE HER GO.
SEEMS A LITTLE DIFFERENT NOW.
>> NEIL: YEAH, IT DOES SORRY, I
KNEW YOU WANTED TO SQUEEZE THAT
TWEET IN THERE.
>> YOU WONDER, DOG, WHAT IS HE
THINKING?
DOESN'T HE KNOW HE'S PRESIDENT.
>> NEIL: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
THESE TWEETS?
THEY GO WITH NO ABANDON, ON AND
ON.
>> I THINK THE BEST LIGHT I
THAT'S DONALD TRUMP.
THAT'S WHAT HE'S THINKING.
I JUST WISH THAT THE IMPULSE
EVEN THOUGH SHE IS NOT SOMEONE
WHO YOU WOULD CONSIDER A TRUMP
SUPPORTER AT THE MOMENT, SHE'S
TURNED ON HIM, YOU COULD CALL IT
BETRAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WOULD STOOP
TO THE LEVEL OF CALLING SOMEBODY
A DOG, ESPECIALLY IN A SITUATION
WHERE HIS LANGUAGE OFTEN -- HE
KNOWS HOW PEOPLE WILL REACT.
IS IT INTENTIONAL?
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST THINK IT'S NOT GOOD.
>> NEIL: SHE TAPED HIM.
MICHAEL COHEN TAPED HIM.
WHY DO THEY DO THAT?
>> GOD IF I KNOW.
>> NEIL: I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU
ON THE SPOT.
THE WAY PEOPLE OPERATE.
>> DOING IT IN THE SITUATION
ROOM, THAT'S A MAJOR ISSUE,
ESPECIALLY FOR OUR FOREIGN
INTELLIGENCE PARTNERS.
>> NEIL: I THOUGHT ALARMS WENT
OFF IF YOU DID THAT.
>> I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T BRING
A PHONE INTO THE SITUATION ROOM.
THE QUESTION IS WAS GENERAL
KELLY JUST USING THAT AS A
PRIVATE SPACE TO FIRE SOMEBODY.
>> NEIL: DO YOU THINK THE
EXCHANGE, WAS IT THREATENING?
IT SEEMED PRETTY --
>> SHE SAID SHE FELT AS IF SHE
WAS BEING HELD PRISONER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS.
I GUESS YOU COULD SECURE THE
DOOR AND NOT LET PEOPLE OUT.
AGAIN, THAT'S IN HER OPINION.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S THE
NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCE.
AS A REPORTER, I WALK THROUGH
THE SITUATION ROOM AND NOBODY
SAID YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF HERE
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO ME.
I BET THEY HAVE ALL SORTS OF
JAMES BOND TYPE DEVICES IN
REMEMBER PRESIDENTS TAPING THOSE
WHO CAME TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> AND THEY'RE TAPING EACH
OTHER.
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A TEAM.
>> THE PRESIDENT SUGGESTED THAT
>> HE SUGGESTED HE WAS TAPING
COMEY.
IT'S KIND OF THE WORLD THEY
OPERATE IN.
WHEN YOU BRING SOMEONE LIKE
OMAROSA INTO THE WHITE HOUSE,
THAT'S THE KIND OF BEHAVIOR THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO GET.
>> NEIL: WHAT WAS OMAROSA DOING
IN THE SITUATION ROOM TO BEGIN
WITH?
>> WHAT HAPPENS TO OMAROSA AFTER
THIS?
IS THERE ANY REPERCUSSIONS FOR
DOING THAT?
>> REMEMBER A MOMENT AGO NEIL
SAID WE'RE OLD ENOUGH TO
REMEMBER.
I'M OLD ENOUGH TO THINK WHY IS
THIS WOMAN FAMOUS IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
>> SHE'S FAMOUS FOR BEING
FAMOUS.
>> SHE'S A REALITY TV VILLAIN,
RIGHT?
AND THEN HE GIVES HER THE JOB.
SHE HAD SENIOR STAFF STATUS,
$175,000 SALARY.
YOU CAN'T GET MUCH HIGHER IF THE
WHITE HOUSE, OTHER THAN THE
PRESIDENT, 400.
AND THEN SHE SAYS -- THE
PRESIDENT SAID NO ONE LIKED HER,
EVERYONE THOUGHT SHE WAS VILE
AND THIS AND THAT BUT SHE SAID
ASKING IS SHE PROSECUTED AS A
RESULT OF THIS.
CLEARLY SHE BREACHED CITE
PROTOCOL.
>> IF THERE WAS A NATIONAL
SECURITY ISSUE.
>> TAPEING IN THE SITUATION ROOM
--
>> NEIL: IS THERE A LAW THAT
SAYS YOU CAN'T TAPE IN THE
SITUATION ROOM?
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
I THINK THERE'S A PROTOCOL.
THEY TAKE AWAY
PHONES.
>> NEIL: WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THE PRESIDENT.
HE'S ALL IN POLITICAL MODE HERE,
RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION.
HE PASTED THE PRESENT GOVERNOR
OF NEW YORK STATE.
I WANT YOU TO RESPOND TO THIS
ONE.
>> HE CALLED ME AND HE SAID I'LL
NEVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAINST
YOU.
OH, PLEASE DO IT.
PLEASE.
ANYBODY THAT RUNS AGAINST TRUMP
SUFFERS.
CONSIDERING RUNNING, RIGHT?
WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT?
IT'S GOING TO BE A CROWDED FIELD
WHOEVER RUNS AGAINST HIM.
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK.
THIS IS A PRETTY BLUE STATE,
YORK.
>> NEIL: I THOUGHT HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT IF HE WAS THE
NOMINEE.
NO?
>> YEAH, IF HE RAN FOR GOVERNOR,
>> EARLIER HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE
RUN FOR GOVERNOR AND HE COULD
HAVE BEATEN CUOMO.
THEN HE DECIDED HE WOULD RUN FOR
PRESIDENT AND HE BEAT EVERYBODY
ON THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
SIDE.
>> YOU COULD CALL IT THAT.
>> ALSO, SOME GOOD INTUITION.
I WAS THINKING COULD HE WIN IN
NEW YORK STATE.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> NEIL: IT IS A DIVIDED FIELD.
IF THEY CAN'T CLEAR A PATH AND
SETTLE ON ONE PERSON, YOU COULD
HAVE A COUPLE DOZEN PEOPLE
RUNNING.
WE'VE GOT A GRAPHICS PACKAGE
DO YOU THINK HE WILL JUMP IN?
>> I THINK HE HAS THAT HE
DESIRE.
OINK HE HAS THE AMBITION.
I THINK HE HAS IN HIS OPINION
THE TRACK RECORD.
WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES.
THE QUESTION IS, IS HE
SUFFICIENTLY COMBATIVE AND
ATTRACTIVE TO THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY.
>> YOU NEED A COMBATIVE
PERSONALITY WHO WILL PUNCH BACK
FULL HEAVY WEIGHT MODE WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
>> TO ME, I THINK OMAROSA, EVEN
THOUGH I THINK SHE HAS NO
CREDIBILITY, SHE IS IN FULL
COMBAT MODE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
IN A WAY YOU WOULDN'T
ANTICIPATE.
YOU NEED THAT ELEMENT IF YOU'RE
GOING TO GO INTO THE SCHOOL
YARD.
>> THERE WILL BE NO HIGHER
>> I THINK SO.
IT'S ALWAYS TRUE THAT ADS,
ESPECIALLY NEGATIVE ADS, HAVE
TREMENDOUS POWER, OPPOSITION
RESEARCH AND THE LIKE.
2020 IS GOING TO GO NUCLEAR.
>> NEIL: THE QUESTION IS WHERE
IS THE PASSION GOING TO BE IN
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
IS IT THE HARD LEFT SIDE?
SOCIALIST SIDE?
OR IS IT THE BIDENS AND ALL WHO
WORRY THAT THAT IS GOING TOO FAR
AFIELD.
>> TO ME WHAT YOU LOOK AT THE
RECORD GOING INTO THE MIDTERMS,
EVEN AS WE TALK ABOUT THE FAR
LEFT, ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ,
YOU KNOW WHERE THE POWER IS IN
MAINSTREAM, DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND
ESPECIALLY WOMEN WHO ARE DOING
WELL IN THESE CONGRESSIONAL
