Was a reference to the military, since he said it initially while doing a photo op with members of the military, but i dont want to go too far inside the presidents head at speculating exactly what he was trying to say, but it seems to be of a peace of this idea he wants to keep people off balance, he wants to suggest hes got some plans that hes ready to unleash at any moment that hes unwilling to share in advance. but the similarity between that statement and what we were talking about before w...

Agenda that is voteable or that anyones going to reach consensus on. the republicans are fractured when it comes to health care. the democrats are resolved in what they want to do. they want to enhance what is already there or make it better, and at the same time, the republicans really dont know what they want to do after eight years. so the presidents tweet is nothing more than another attempt by him to play to the base while at the same time having no legitimate move to go forward with. and i...

This week president trump attempted to comfort american victims of two very different disasters with mixed results. the president made a trip to hurricane-ravaged puerto rico on tuesday where he told some residents to, quote, have fun and tossed rolls of paper towel into a crowd in san juan. a day later the president struck a more somber tone while meeting with victims and first responders in las vegas. that was apparently due to his staff. its reported tonight that, quote, as the death toll fro...

Did you get a sense of how they are treating a war of words from melania trump? >> they aused to bluster. theres more militarization around the country. you see posters and big baoards. you have high school students on the streets in military uniforms. everyone is talking about a war with the u.s. is being imminent. most scary of all, people talk about how that war is survivable and how they will defeat the u.s. in that war. i think that president trumps comments like these, empower the hard lin...

Believe me. >> so, nick, you were just back from a trip to north korea at an incredibly tense time. did you get a sense of how they view the war of words with president trump? >> well, theyre used to bluster, but compared to my past trips to north korea, there is way more military mobilization around the country. so everywhere you go you see posters and billboards showing missiles, attacking the u.s. or destroying the u.s. capitol. you have high school students who are parading on the streets in...
