LOU: TWO POLLS SHOW RECORD APPROVAL FOR THE TRUMP ECONOMY.
A FOX NEWS POLL FINDS 55% OF
AMERICANS SAY THE ECONOMY IS IN
GREAT SHAPE.
GREAT SHAPE. THAT’S THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN
ALMOST TWO DECADES.
GALLUP FINDS ECONOMIC CONFIDENCE
IS THE HIGHIST HAS BEEN SINCE
2000.
2000. 50% OF AMERICANS ARE SATISFIED
WITH THE ECONOMY MORE THAN THE
DAY THE PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE.
BASED ON THOSE TWO POLLS,
STEPHANIE, YOU ARE DOING A HECK
OF A JOB.
OF A JOB. >> OBVIOUSLY THE PRESIDENT IS
DOING A GREAT JOB.
LOU: LET’S START WITH THE
NONSENSE ON IMPEACHMENT.
HOW PLEASED IS THE PRESIDENT
WITH HIS DEFENSE ATTORNEYS AS WE
HAVE SEEN THEM SATURDAY AND
TODAY?
TODAY? >> THE PRESIDENT SAID HE’S VERY,
VERY HAPPY WITH THE TEAM.
HE HAS A STRONG TEAM WITH
DECADES OF LEGAL EXPERIENCE.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE FACT THE
PRESIDENT DID NOTHING WRONG.
YOU PUT THOSE TWO THINGS
KINDERGARTEN AND WE WON’T HAVE A
PROBLEM’.
PROBLEM’. YOU -- YOU PUT THOSE TWO THINGS
TOGETHER -- AND WE WON’T HAVE A
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM. TODAY WE HAD A SUPREME COURT
VICTORY WITH REGARD TO
IMMIGRATION.
IMMIGRATION. THE PRESIDENT IS BROKERING A
MIDDLE EAST PEACE PLAN WHICH IS
THE CLOSEST ANY PRESIDENT HAS
COME THIS HISTORIC MILESTONE.
WE HAVE TWO RALLIES THIS WEEK.
THE MAN DOES NOT STOP WORK.
I DON’T KNOW OF ANY PRESIDENT
WHO WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE
THIS.
THIS. LOU: THERE IS NO PRESIDENT WHO
HAS DONE WHAT HE HAS DONE IN
THREE YEARS.
THREE YEARS. HE SET A STANDARD FOR THE
PRESIDENTS WHO WILL FOLLOW HIM
SOME SIX YEARS DISTANT.
THEY WILL HAVE A HARD TIME
GETTING CLOSE TO THE RECORDE
SET.
SET. JOHN BOLTON, THE PRESIDENT’S
FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR
WRITING A BOOK.
A TELL-ALL.
A TELL-ALL. NO ONE I KNOW HAS EVER HEARD OF
IT.
IT. WHAT AND CORRUPT, DISGUSTING
MOVE FOR HIM TO HAVE MADE.
>> IT’S UNFORTUNATE.
HERE IS A MAN WHO PURPORTS TO
CARE ABOUT THE NATIONAL SECURITY
OF THIS COUNTRY.
TO LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE AND
IMMEDIATELY WRITE A BOOK.
THE INFORMATION CAME OUT WITH
THE "NEW YORK TIMES" LAST NIGHT,
AND A COUPLE HOURS LATER THE THE
BORDER.
BORDER. WE DON’T KNOW IF WHAT IS IN THE
BOOK IS TRUE.
THE PRESIDENT IS SAYING NONE OF
THE THINGS BEING LEAKED ARE
TRUE.
TRUE. LOU: FRED FLEITZ, FORMER CIA
ANALYST, AND GREAT AMERICAN, HE
SUGGESTED TO JOHN THAT HE JUST
GET RID OF THE TRANSCRIPT.
TEAR UP THE CHECK AND MOVE ON.
HE IS OBVIOUSLY SO PROFOUNDLY
DISAPPOINTED IN JOHN BOLTON AS
FRANKLY ARE MOST OF US WHO AT
ONE TIME THOUGHT HE WAS A MAN OF
PRINCIPLE.
PRINCIPLE. >> I AGREE WITH HIM.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO SELL
OUT POTENTIAL NATIONAL SECURITY
TO YOUR COUNTRY.
I HAVE BEEN IN SO MANY MEETINGS
WITH THIS PRESIDENT.
SMALL MEETINGS, STAFF MEETING,
NATIONAL SECURITY MEETINGS.
AND IT STRUCK ME FROM DAY ONE OF
TAKING THIS JOB THAT WHAT THE
PRESIDENT CARES BUSINESS
TAXPAYER MONEY.
TAXPAYER MONEY. AND HE’S ALWAYS SAYING EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES NEED TO PAY THEIR FAIR
SHARE.
SHARE. HE’S SALES LOOK PAT FOREIGN AID
BEING SENT OVERSEAS AND MAKING
SURE IT’S USED WISELY AND THERE
IS NO CORRUPTION TIDE TO IT.
JOHN BOLTON KNOWS IT AND
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.
LOU: JOHN BOLTON OF ALL PEOPLE
SHOULD KNOW ALL OF THE SUCCESSES
OF THIS PRESIDENT, AND MANY OF
THOSE SUCCESSES COMING OVER THE
OBJECTION OF NONE OTHER THAN
