war? i think at the end of the day we are headed inescape aably without a people out of congress to using a military option to solve a genuine threat to the american people, which i think is going to be a sad outcome. wow, that s breath taking. sue, last word, how much western media does kim jong-un consume, do we think? a lot. i m sure he s pouring over he s watching this right now. he s at least watching. they re pouring over every word that comes out of trump administration and coming out of the united states. very chilling stuff. two of the very best in the business whose opinions we ll continue to count on. sue mi terry, general mccaffery, thank you both. when we come back, senator krystal weighs in on mike pence and more when we come back. is s ah. the irresistible scent of gain flings laundry detergent.
tweet because he has finally discovered that bob corker has more power over him than he has over bob corker. and what the country and the world has a right to be worried about tonight is does senator corker s humiliation of president trump move us forward or backward on the path toward world war iii? joining us now, nicklas chris of the for the new york times. returned from a trip to north korea. this was his third trip to north korea and ezra klein, editor at vox and host of podcast the ezra klein show. nick, one of the things that bob corker says is donald trump does not understand how the world takes his comments. he made a point that i think a lot of people don t often consider. he said, and you have to think about these comments in translation because they have to then be translated into
li line. what you saw with corker said today is what they talk about on capitol hill. that s when i left the white house. i said i m going after the republican establishment and will go after them. challenge as a coalition. the states? a coalition coming together to challenge every republican incumbent except for ted cruz. that s why i left the white house. he was fired from the white house. bloomberg is reporting today that steve bannon demanded all of the candidate it is a he supports for the senate agree to two conditions, that they will vote against mitch mcconnell as majority leader and vote to end senators ability to block legislation by filibustering. if bannon marngs to carry out the threat, they will have to raise and spend more money than they planned to on campaigns and donald trump s ally steve bannon will spend the year attacking the same republican senators who donald trump needs to vote for anything that donald trump hopes to get through the senate.

doesn t disqualify him anymore. take on the two things, one is trump silence on twitter at least and elsewhere and on bob corker and this bannon assault on republicans in the senate. the only thing i can think of is that john kelly literally stolen the phone away from donald trump. someone else is perhaps twitting the innocuous things because essentially what bob corker did was he outed himself and every member of the republican party for allowing someone who they believe is mentally unable to perform the office of the president of the united states, unable to form the duties, a risk to the country to remain. and in doing so, he raises not only a question about trump, but about the rest of them. what are they doing there if they truly believe that this man is about to cause world war iii or eventually will cause world war iii? what if tomorrow john kelly, mattis and tillerson all quit? would they feel that the country
