System overall has failed us helps to explain why, you know, around here in this part of california, certainly around where i live in the industrial midwest, a lot of people who are under no illusions about the president being a good guy, okay, theyre under no illusions about his character, but they decided to vote effectively to burn the house down, to send a message. and thats exactly what we got. >> why is a moderate like biden leading and not a progressive like you? >> i think the ball game ...

Another violent crackdown. well the professionals association released a statement recently on social media saying that we have to anticipate every possible scenario. hopefully international pressure will prevent a violent crackdown by international pressure has failed us in the past but no matter what happens this revolution is not just an event its a process and today is a testament to the fact that people are not going to give up until they see a civilian government we should point out that t...

Unusual, unorthodoxed men leading countries. what we do know is the two previous efforts to denuclearize with two great nuclear agreements completely fell apart. the north koreans cheated. no one has any illusions about who we are dealing with. how authoritarian the regime is. how brutal it is. but the goal is to denuclearize north korea. if president trump can make headway on that he wont do any worse than any other president has done. its a evening as all of your commentators have said. im wil...

Trump had to say on the possibility of sanctions relief. >> theyre staying on. im looking forward to taking them off. i dont like sanctions being on his country. im looking forward, but the sanctions remain, yes. but at some point during the negotiation, things can happen. and thats what well be talking about sanctions. >> reporter: so the question is where does it go from here? president trump says that both sides are getting together their teams of negotiators. as far as time line goes, it sho...

Three successful presidents are to a certain extent come plis on why this is the case. its farcical to say this 2001 authorization would cover military action. thats what the administration has been arguing with congress. recently. giving vague illusions to the idea iran is with al qaeda or some other reason. the lack of transparency is something to highlight. and trump is as you said earlier, just the master of kind of disingenious arguments and throwing up one scandal or controversy to distrac...

Wake of the 9/11 attacks, thats in 2001, is still being used as a blanket justification for military action all over the world in 2019. you know, thats the bottom line. both congress, i would say, and three successive presidents are to a certain extent complicit in why this is the case. but, you know, its farcical in the extreme to say that this 2001 authorization would cover any military action. that is apparently exactly what the administration has been arguing in closed-door briefings with me...

They have the right to stay silent so they would not have to speak to an i.c.e. officer, and under the fourth amendment they did not have to allow anyone into their home, this would be an i.c.e. agent, who basically did not have a search warrant signed with their name on it. they were prepared. they say this means they will be prepared here in the future if there are any more threatened i.c.e. sweeps. now back to you. >> good morning to you, julian. >> good morning. >> i want to start with a sen...

I think the message was bipartisan in terms of de-escalating based on a couple of things. first of all, we have no illusions about iran. its a very dangerous country and there are divisions within the country about hard-liners versus others. there was bipartisan consensus that we didnt want to do anything that would strengthen the hand of hard-liners in iran because that just makes matters worse. consensus that we should be working with our allies in whatever we do and calibrating a response tha...

Escalation. are you advocating any particular actions? >> no. i dont know what the array of options are from the department of defense. the president knows. he did not share that with us. >> thank you. >> [question inaudible] >> i hope thats right. we tried to -- look, three things to remember. we must -- this is a dangerous situation. were dealing with a country that is a bad actor in the region. we have no illusions about iran in terms of their ballistic missile transfers, about who they suppo...

Agreement. now the question is where do we go from here. we heard from democrats saying if theres any retaliatory action, whatever it looks like, they hope the president is going to come to them first to discuss it. republicans have by and large said they think the president has the authority to act if it is necessary. the big agreement is on who they blame for these recent actions. why know iran denied having anything to do with the attacks on the commercial vessels in the strait. but democrats...
