Is the president has demonstrated a tendency to be risk add verse, not risk ready. i think i say hes not the obama reduction when it comes to force. he struck proportionately in april against the assad regime. he limited syria. surge in afghanistan was modest by any proportion. and despite all of the bluster, and tough words and rhetoric against iran and north korea, he has done a lot of restraint. i think secretary mattis have a lot to do with that. >> at the same time though, he has been effec...

Singing from the same sheet of music next week when they have the scheduled leadership meeting at the white house to talk about this. theres pressure on both sides of this, right? for democrats, this is something the base wants, to protect the dreamers. for republicans, though, they dont want to further shrink their base or shrink their party by having something drastic happen to the dreamers, including the president has hinted at that, and he knows he can only afford to lose one vote in the sen...

Point about that he has control over the justice department. he was referring to the hillary clinton e-mail investigation here saying that, well, if this investigation into me goes well, then maybe ill have to go and look into this. personalizing it in a way, i think, that if theres any legal danger in that interview, its that moment. he doesnt have that power, it turns out. so its an empty bluster. but hes saying that im being discretionary about my meddling into my own justice department based...

Today as chumleys patron f. scott fitzgerald wistfully wrote, "the parties were bigger, the pace was faster, and the morals were looser." >> he is said to have regretted the end of prohibition because a place like this lost its luster. >> that party scene and regret, sometimes i think it fed his writing. it was his characters, his whole background. "the great gatsby" that he wrote, the jazz age frenzy that those raucous years created were actually part and parcel to what he wrote. probably movin...

Retired colonel ralph peters. good morning, colonel. weve heard this type of bluster before. you agree there is no way north korea ever gives up its nukes. when they say its a pipe dream theyre being honest. north korea is suffering from this horrific degenerative disease of state. the people are malnourished and starving and literally diseased. economy is almost non-existent. the north korean ground forces are rotting away. we see increased defections by unhealthy so-called elite troops. north ...

This white house leaks and talks to reporters more than any white house ive seen. would you say thats true? >> in ways they arent, but others they are. the president seems to always be willing to tell you what he is thinking in ways the previous presidents wouldnt. he will walk out before getting on the helicopter and he will stop and talk to the press. seems like we get more of that than we did in previous administrations and seems like the president will tell you what hes thinking. it may be s...
