Strength. >> mr. putin is a known hawk, i cant even think of any other person who is more hawkish than mr. bolton on north korea. hes talking about regime change or potential strike on north korea for many years. so i think it is both north korea and united states are trying to increase leverage and trying to come into the negotiation from position of strength. >> thank you so much. i appreciate that. coming up, a late night court filing by the special counsel drawing what appears to be a direct...

Effort to reform the united nations and his criticism of the united nations which was dead on. and look, this is a president who i dont think is going to be tamed or guided by people like tillerson. i think if you want someone to steer the president for instance in an anti-russia direction which started, bolton is going to be a much better pick for you than some of his -- some of the other alternatives. bolton is treated as this kind of scary guy but anyone who has ever met him actually knows he...

This? >> part of the reasons why the white house stories are so important because of stories like this. john bolton has long presented himself as a north korea hawk. he wrote a journal saying -- bolton is not a jimmy carter type. the idea that jimmy carter and bolton would working great on a project is challenging to fathom. generally speaking you want a white house that can take normal clear singular responses to international incidents like were potentially seeing jrn folding. with the white h...

Presidential nominee turned utah senate candidate described himself as more of a hawk on immigration that even the president. president trump ended the daca program that protected certainly young illegal immigrant, but proposed a path to citizen for nearly 2 million people, many who benefited from the program, in exchange for limits on legal immigration and his wall. romney, on the other hand, took a more conservative president. he said, hell accept the presidents view, but for me i draw the lin...
