It is if as it is all some kind of game that their highest obligation to defend him or whatever political position, whatever looney tunes legal argument he is making, and they are completely devoid of any view, of any belief that their highest obligation is to the country. we talk about donald trump betrying the united states by being an agent or an accessory for vladimir putin. what about these people? theyre doing the same thing. they have betrayed the country. they have betrayed their oaths o...

Continues getting coverage, if we continue seeing the faces and the stories and hearing the voices and hearing the pleas. we have got to stay on this story because the trump administration is counting on us being like he is and having no attention span to focus on one story. we must continue focussing on this until these children are reunited with their families. >> a reminder that the legislative branch of the government, congress, is supposed to be providing oversight over the executive branch...

Hundreds of power utilities in the united states. so, if folks out there watching think somehow that muellers investigation is a rigged witch hunt, as our president strikingly continues to insist, there is more and more building information that russia continues to be our most aggressive foreign adversary rather than following president trumps tweets and the red herrings hes been putting out, we should be focussing on our responsibility to strengthen our infrastructure, to protect our upcoming e...

Administrations should have their security clearances revoked is a pure distraction. its also just frankly being petty. most of these officials either dont use their security clearances or have no relevant access to classified information anymore. and ill note that the list of who is being singled out exactly coincides with those who have been publicly critical of the president. this is the sort of attack on free speech, the press and the rights of individuals to speak out in our country that re...

Voter. we focus on all kinds of voters that make that difference in elections. now all we talk about is the trump base, the trump voters. instead of focussing on the fact that the abc news poll today said 75% of the american people are against him attacking the nato. the vast majority is against trump on these major issues. we have to focus on his supporters because it is so important to what hes doing in the white house. we also have to focus on the bigger picture, which is that the country is ...

Today i talk about this. we spend a lot of time on the trump supporter. it is the way to try to understand what trump is doing. it explains a lot of his tactical maneuvers and his long-term plan to try to survive the onslaught he is facing right now on a variety of legal fronts. but in the end the country is not with donald trump. >> right. >> and we normally, in every election i have ever covered, we focus on moderate voters, swing voter. we focus on all kinds of voters that make that differenc...

Tower meeting, re-tweeted it and said, i know this is true because i was there. goldstone was there for the peskov/trump phone call. so, i mean, you know, it is pretty head-scratching that the russian president would say this. we have all been focussing on the credibility of some of trumps comments, but i think this goes directly to the credibility of vladimir putins comments. >> michael, one more to you. it is very clear that regardless of what the president knew when he was a candidate, and ag...

You may not wonder why they have lost confidence in the congress. rather than focussing on urgent issues like family separation, reasonable efforts to reduce gun violence in our communities, considering legislation to reform our broken immigration system, passing legislation to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, addressing inability of americans who fall behind in student loans to discharge the debt in bankruptcy or oversight of conflicts of interest and corruption of this administration we ...

Vote you out! vote you out! >> abolish i.c.e.! >> abolish i.c.e. >> among the protesters were members of a local chapter of the democrat socialists of america. do you think their behavior was acceptable? >> look, getting back to this very issue of immigration, there are people all over this country that are outraged that little kids have been separated from their parents, which no doubt will cause, i guess, permanent psychological damage when you separate a kid from his or her parents. so people...

Diving here is so much more difficult, but they just have to get it done. what is the mood like right now now that weve learned this one diver has died. >> definitely you can feel it, that it has an effect. but were moving on. everybody is a professional, so we try to put it away and have it not happen again. >> reporter: and everyone is focussing on getting them out? >> everyone is focusing on keeping them alive or getting them out. >> reporter: you can see a large group of thai military coming...
