Questions and raise some eyebrows with these very cryptic remarks that the president has been making lately. he was asked just there on the south lawn what is the one thing that he believes will work in north korea. and instead of specifying, he just told the reporter that theyre going to figure it out pretty soon. now, that question was asked because of a tweet that the president had made just shortly before then where he lamented what he believes are decades of failed policy in north korea, sa...

Are we going to bury iran in paper? is that how we stop their program? kelly: how do you stop their program? everybody has tried to do it. united states, europe. how do you stop a country set on satisfying its nuclear appetite? >> look, that is the key question and im sad to say a question that for 25 years three american administrations refuse to acknowledge. i think the ayatollahs are determined to have deliverable nuclear weapons. and i think we can chitchat with them for year 26 just unfortu...

Because in this white house, you have as many factions it seems like as you do on capitol hill and theyre all going at each other. they all have their own agendas. this is totally different than anything weve seen in any of the administrations since i came here in 1969. people say its a great story. yeah, but so was 9/11, and i dont think any of us want another 9/11. but its fascinating in its own way as a journalist to watch this. and frankly, i dont know how this comes out. >> how do you -- ca...

Pursue it. but its very troubling that we have this level of dishonest dealing by people who are now associated with the president of the united states. and one of them, ivanka is now in the white house. i have to say this type of dealing would have been a disqualifier for anybody serving in the bush administration, the obama administration or any previous administrations. >> lets talk a little bit about the ethics. you mentioned cy vance. theres a timeline. in 2010 the office opens an investiga...

So unless both sides are willing to find something close to the middle, its not clear exactly how far this can go. >> thank you for the latest from the white house. lets bring in elise jordan, former senior advisor to senator rand paul, also peter emerson, a veteran of three democratic administrations and a "huffington post" contributor. big welcome to the both of you. ladies first here, elise. so how do you think republicans on the hill are reacting to all of this? is it likely to have any so...

Other administrations. >> you know, david, there was this idea that if anyone could bring discipline and order to the trump white house, it was general kelly and on procedural matters, memos, the presidents reading material, he seems to have been effective. but if you can fix that but you cant fix things like open fights between the president and the secretary of state, you know, what does that say about his capability to do his job as chief of staff? >> it says that maybe no one can be an effec...

Not be shattered by evil. our bonds can not be broken by violence. reporter: this just in for the network pool traveling with the vice president, the vice president and his wife are visiting the memorial of crosses that have been set up near where that shooting happened about six days ago. meanwhile back here in washington, democrats are continuing to push for more gun control. republicans, especially house speaker paul ryan said he is open to at least considering the issue of bump stocks. that ...

Various ways and rhetorically attacked. so what we can see, united states under president trump is being far more, if you like, hypernationalist than previous administrations have been able to do. >> one can argue, he steps away from the things that president obama, his predecessor, put in place, and then kind of circles back around to it in a certain way. but i want to get to rex tillerson. because it almost appears the u.s. president and his secretary of state arent on the same team. i want to...

Earlier today and that well see what he means. the president did tweet this morning that, quote: presidents and their administrations have been talking to north korea for 25 years. agreement made on massive amounts of money paid hasnt worked. agreements violated before the ink was dry, making fools of u.s. negotiators. sorry, but only one thing will work. there is another deadline upcoming. that of the iran nuclear agreement certification the white house in the next 8 days has to tell congress w...

Something i think people forget. you tell me if im wrong. something i noticed talking to people that work in washington and across administrations on stub stance theres a desire to be supportive of other people who are serving in the government. right? so you might not serve to -- choose to serve donald trump but theres a sort of a comradery around the service to the nation and i say that in teeing up what ill read to you. john kelly named white house chief of staff in july. rahm emanuel called ...
