Recently, actually. so it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. president trumps rhetoric on north korea has been sort of similar, you know. remember in 2017, he began with the whole "fire and fury" comments, and then obviously, that de-escalated a little bit, and then that led to a summit with north korea. i dont know if that strategy will necessarily work with iran, because it just seems like theres too much bad blood between the trump administration and the iranian regime right n...

Presidential. >> leon, somewhere in libya right now a janitors working a night shift at libyan intelligence headquarters. others going about doing his job. because he has no idea in about an hour hes going to die in a massive explosion. hes just going about his job. he has no idea that about an hour ago i gave an order to have him killed. youve just seen me do the least presidential thing i do. >> ben, first question before i kind of get into my theory of that. the scariest possibility is that h...

So far it doesnt seem iran has any interest in talking to president trump at the moment. >> the strategy hasnt worked with north korea. do we know exactly why the president changed his mind at the last minute? he tweeted that this was about the number of iranian casualties estimated, but thats typically information you would get long before a strike was planned. >> well, the president never wanted to do this strike really in the first place. he has been kind of dragged along to this conclusion a...

Economy for the next three years. >> any preconditions? >> not as far as im concerned. >> the president is using a similar strategy with iran he has tried to use in other parts of the world, notably north korea. so far it doesnt seem iran has any interest in talking to president trump at the moment. >> the strategy hasnt worked with north korea. do we know exactly why the president changed his mind at the last minute? he tweeted that this was about the number of iranian casualties estimated, but...

The trump supporters and the trump voters seemed to have pressed the ignore button and it doesnt serve as a top priority in the decision making process and whether they support it president, regardless of the evidence. >> do you that i at least some voters here want to hear a condemnation or at least a response on this issue? >> i think this in this environment you have to and considering the force that women serve in the democratic primary process. i think absolutely some women are going to wan...

Attention in the way in which the president twists his opponents into knots. remember how democrats and their media cast trump in the early days of his presidency. they said well, hes no knot well and he just has this blood thirst, this lust for war. >> the president of the united states is completely unhinged and getting worse by the day. >> he is not fit temperamentally. >> donald trump is destabilizing the hell he has no idea what do do in the aftermath. >> in order to get elected, donald tru...

The preds sai the president said, though, he did receive estimates of casualties throughout the day and acknowledged some reports that the ultimate 150 number may have come from an attorney, not necessarily from generals, though he said the number was delivered verbally via a general, muddying the waters about when in the decision making process he learned the number of casualties the strikes would have caused. hes still citing that as he didnt view that planned strike as a proportionate respons...

Iran. what is he saying about this? >> he sas saying the military option is still on the table. he also said they would be putting sanctions on iran but he didnt say what those sanctions are. hes getting a lot of praise for calling off the raid, but some say it shows his decision making is impulsive and he doesnt have a long-term strategy. some folks on the hill are suggesting that the administration should have consulted them first before launching this operation. a lot of back and forth, a lot...

Defense industrial sector but also has a history in policy and in the military. and so ill be very willing to take a look at his nomination. im glad the congress put it in quickly before the congress. but his twitter feed today has exposed to the entire world how absolutely out of control the decision-making process is inside the white house. frankly, a new secretary of defense is not going to change that reality. the president does not consider facts. he makes it up as he goes along. this campa...
