Searing meeting i had back when i was counselor to madeleine albright in the clinton administration was that a refugee camp in pakistan where women had been driven out of afghanistan by the taliban and i had to listen to young girls who were my daughters age at the time talk about watching their sisters being raped, being thrown out the window, teachers who could not teach, doctors who could not do medical services. and so women were not included in these negotiations at this point either. there...

But not including the afghan government. they will understand the most searing meeting i had back when i was counselor to madeleine albright in the clinton administration was that a refugee camp in pakistan where women had been driven out of afghanistan by the taliban and i had to listen to young girls who were my daughters age at the time talk about watching their sisters being raped, being thrown out the window, teachers who could not teach, doctors who could not do medical services. and so wo...

And domestic terrorism would be an issue potentially for the president. quote, you know it will trigger the boss. minutes ago a senior official told me, quote, this administration national strategy for counter-terrorism was the first to ever include domestic terrorism. this issue continues to be a priority for the administration and the national security council has launched an interagency process focused on combatting domestic terrorism in support of the presidents counter-terrorism strategy. t...

Sq and trying to be pals. neither has been effective. for two reasons, one, were not building a coalition of countries that have a shared interest in preventing north korea from continuing to pose a nuclear threat. were not bringing in china to put pressure. >> relying too much on personal diplomacy between trump and kim. >> nor are we hugging south korea as close as we should be, and japan and others who face this threat as well. we could be leveraging our allies and our relationship with china...

Over and over. >> wilbur ross has those slippers, though, etched with the commerce seal. >> i dont think -- >> thats not going to do it? >> i dont think it will reverse the presidents feelings about this. >> jeff, i mean, from a legal standpoint, is this done? >> i mean, first of all from a legal standpoint, its important to point out how surreal all of this is, because you know, the united states government often takes positions in court, and theres something called the interagency process, whe...

Unconstitutional. paul: we heard from nadler and others at the present forfeited executive privilege because he allowed don mcgahn to his 530 hours to robert mueller in a special counsel probe. >> frankly it is a silly argument. you do not forfeit executive privilege, paul, i committee with members of executive branch. he was in the department of justice. nadler was correct in that every time he goes from interagency process, one department talks to another, one official talks to another, you fo...

Sort of america first isolationism that the president did clearly run on and win on. so kelly went into this job with his eyes wide open, but people will point to, for example, the president expressing his interest or his consideration of withdrawing troops from afghanistan and syria. he even potentially talked about bringing u.s. troops back from south korea, pulling out of nato. and in many of these examples, kelly and others would suggest that he didnt pursue those things, at least under kell...

I doubt she would have gotten there this quickly. certainly a lot of americans are scarred by u.s. wars in the middle east. im sure the presidents decision is popular in some quarters, but you dont just do this thing on a whim and a tweet without consulting allies and working through the options in the pentagon and the interagency process. this is something the president seems to have done because he could. we are seeing the consequences play out, a lot of doubt among u.s. allies about americas ...
