As a country. countries fight well when theyre together. we have a professional army. but its almost too independent from the rest of american society. and to lead this country into a real confrontation, lets not say war, lets say a real confrontation with north korea, somehow president trump has to find the language where he speaks to more of the people and brings them into his vision of what hes doing. taking a country to the war thats as divided as this one is and pulling at the scabs, you kn...

You know the press is relevant in the way that it isnt before and he wants the press to know that. he wants the press to essentially sort of thank him and you know i think he thinks that the press is probably has worse intention you know than it really does and you know thats his way of really sort of sticking it to the press and saying you know look at who you guys are. look at how unfair you guys can be. >> michael schmidt, weve only scratched the surface with this extraordinary interview. we ...

Students. they are fighters, but they also have a great deal of balance in their background, and they are not intimated by civilian leaders. when you see general mattis and even the man i cover full-time, rex tillerson, who doesnt come with any experience diplomatically, and i have been very tough on him most recently the last 24 hours on "nightly news" he, as well as general mattis, in the tank over at the pentagon, trying to persuade donald trump that there is a larger vision than what he was ...

President several times sent some pretty negative signals to nato and, yet, has seen over a time to move more towards a traditional american position. we have to say, again, with a cavat, that could all change in the next 15 minutes. a lot of world leaders, and david ignatious said this the other day, theyre starting to say, okay, okay, this tweet is fine. fine. thats for domestic consumption. only were looking at his policy, and were talking to mattis and tillerson and others who apparently are...

Really getting out of control of being devastating for the population there? >> yeah, i think, david, i think its probably about a 10% chance that it all falls apart and we end up with nuclear detonation on the peninsula from king john eun. i disagree with the idea that we would have to go all the way the minute the first missile goes. i think you can do a lot going after the north american fleet, can you go after specific sites. the worry is kim jong-un would respond with artillery on seoul, it...

La -- manipulate us. the fact that the president has been opposing sanctions and other measures to get tough on russia, this isnt merely his insecure about the election. its gone beyond the election and predated his election victory. its gone back as you and joe and mika have talked about since the beginning since december of 2015 since the president has been beholden to russia. its almost like the borrower and the indebtedness. the president of the united states has put american foreign policy ...

Him at that press conference. >> yeah, willie, again the behavior towards russia, weve said it since december of 2015 is so bizarre. we said it sense he came on our show in december of 2015 and continued to say that slavladim putin was a better leader tan barack obama because he was a stronger leader. he basically brushed off the assassinations of journalists the killing of political rivals the invasions of countries. the shooting down of jets. its one apology for russia after another and it jus...

But built a front to prevent them. >> david, im wondering what insights you can give us from the nikki haley presentation yesterday and also with what the trump administration is trying to do here. >> well, i think the trump administration has decided its time to step up the pressure on iran. nikki haley was arguing iran is in violation of a u.n. security council resolution passed in 2015 at the same time of the iran nuclear deal and trying to rally members of the security council to address thi...
