Security analyst. peter, isis has been losing a lot of ground in iraq and syria. the caliphate seems to be crumbling right now although they are still there. there has always been fear that as they lose ground in iraq and syria they will step up terror activities elsewhere. is this what we saw in spain today a reaction to that? >> we dont know because we dont know who carried out the attack. isis has claimed it and used the formulation of soldiers. that is a formulation they use when they havent...

Hes a good person, and i think the press treats him, frankly, very unfairly. >> eboni: guy, im going to let you run with that. >> guy: the formulation, we will see what happens with mr. bannon, is not one that augers particular well for the future of mr. bannon. i could be wrong. we all thought sessions was on his way out, and hes ensconced in that position right now. if you are anthony scaramucci, you just went through many of the most epic flameout in recent political memory. you go on stephen...

Trump. so he doesnt want to turn that off, at the same time, he doesnt want to alienate anybody else. so he tried this ridiculous formulation about many, many groups were responsible. many, many things were done poorly. spreading out the blame and this ridiculous moral equivalency. it doesnt work with the large majority who didnt vote for him, but these are subliminal messages hes constantly sending to that disreputable part of this base. >> and in his original statement, jay, he said he condemn...

Expectations, when mitch mcconnell set out to prevent antonin scalias seat from being filled by democrats, he didnt start from the position of excessive expectations. he latched himself to the rutter and headed for the fight and protected people like john mccain for a year and a half from having to make any tough votes on that. and he won. it was a huge victory >> thats a really good point, charlie. >> then john mccain returns that favor by going and kind of stabbing him -- not stabbing him in t...

Speaking of excessive expectations, when mitch mcconnell set out to prevent antonin scalias seat from being filled by democrats, he didnt start from the position of excessive expectations. he latched himself to the rutter and headed for the fight and protected people like john mccain for a year and a half from having to make any tough votes on that. and he won. it was a huge victory >> thats a really good point, charlie. >> then john mccain returns that favor by going and kind of stabbing him --...

Threat. >> anderson, when youre dealing with nuclear weapons and an erratic regime like north korea, it seems to me you want to measure every word, because if you are drawing a red line, a red line not only about action but about rhetoric, you want to be extremely precise. not only for the other side, but to protect yourself so you dont have to climb down. and i just find it unnerving that the formulation changes every day, a threat, you know, a different kind of threat, not action but words. it...

Underlining some of the reporting we had yesterday that perhaps theyd heard the statement before theyd heard him in the west wing use the term fire and fury but did not expect him to use it in a public forum as he did two days ago. >> right. he was using this language, apparently, around the -- in conversations with aides and some of the korean huddles theyve been having. its funny. it doesnt really sound trump yan. does it? it sounds like it was kind of written -- my guess is it was written by ...

Need to reconsider the current pathway theyre on. >> reporter: even as administration officials are saying today that the presidents words yesterday were not planned, fire and fury, that it was not surprising, but not an expected formulation or an intentional new american threat with some meaning behind it. just to be clear, when you look at the military options here, and we have said this many times on the air before. they are not only horrific, in that you have the chance of enormous collatera...

And common sense tells you the three of them were there because they believed they were getting something good. and so there is a lot of smoke. and a lot of strangeness around the story. and he can say what he wants but its not going away. >> eugene were old enough to know who huey long is i invoked his name already once. a real kmoigs for populist language. the president saying were trying to cheat you of the leadership. >> thats exactly. thats the most alarming and certainly the most dangerous...
