It Wouldnt Stand News Today

Decision is likely to face obstacles. look, the courts made it clear that the existing moratorium was not constitutional. it wouldnt stand. howie: but the president abruptly he reversed himself under fierce pressure for liberal lawmakers such as cori bush and the cdc extend the ban with a minor change. look how they framed the move, with a woman who had fallen behind on her rent and congratulating cori bush. >> how does it feel to hear the news about the moratorium tonight, thanks to you? >> i a...

U.s. strikes north koreas nuclear system, but it wouldnt stand for any attempt at regime change or any sending of south korean or u.s. troops over the north korean border. so, this is a kind of thing that tillerson will be reinforcing today, that theyre not trying to threaten chinas influence in the region. theyre just trying to take a dangerous nuclear actor off the table by taking that weapons program off the table. so, its a two-pronged message. >> you know, alex burns, if i can jump in with ...

Speech on north korea from secretary of state rex tillerson, basically saying the world needs to get on board, and if we dont take action, the united states, it could have catastrophic consequences. the president also talked extensively about north korea in an interview he did with reuters, and he spoke about kim jong-un, the dictator, in terms that were surprising to some people. "the new york times" called it "grudging praise." listen to what the president said. >> hes 27 years old. his father...

Stop testing, make some commitments. thats also an invitation, an over picture to china to see where they can wing in for some kind of effort. and again, as elise said, weve been through this sort of thing before, although not anywhere near the kind of military threat at the same time, in the dance with iran, the very complicated negotiations with iran. but the simultaneous message -- were not looking for regime change, were willing to resume u.s. aid to north korea. people may forget, but there...

White house has also had some issues with mixed messaging on many other fronts, so how can we tell which it is? >> well, in the context of the north korea issue, i would listen to what secretary tillerson says and what secretary mattis says. these are the folks in the administration that really have to measure their words most carefully in these kind of official context -- >> are you suggesting dont listen to what the president of the united states says? >> im not saying dont listen to him, but ...

>> thanks for the opportunity. >> let me ask you first your reaction to the delay of this vote on the effort to repeal and replace obamacare. >> to tell you the truth, i really dont see it as a delay. im not sure where that came from. i think were working towards it, but there are really discussions about when we should have the vote, even so, because we want to make sure that not only members of congress have had enough time to consider the policy, but the american people have as well. and whil...

Sees itself as the father of all turks, and the defender of ethnic turks around the world, has been protesting very loudly, telling moscow its a red line for moscow to be bombing these ethnically turkish people inside syria. and not surprisingly, as the russian plane was bombing in that area, violated the airspace, it seemed like turkey used that as a pretense to send a message to moscow that it wouldnt stand. but its a dramatic escalation. its a very risky move. moscow is threatening consequenc...

The way, were going to undercut our trade deal and defense relationship with south korea, right? that doesnt strike me as extremely strategic. >> frank sesno, comment on what alex burns just said, because its fairly remarkable. alex is suggesting that if you want to know where the u.s. is really headed on north korea policy, really on any issue, hes saying listen to the secretary of state and defense before you listen to the president of the united states. first of all, do you agree? and if yes,...

Reporting there, hey, hes talking about direct talks with north korea. there was something else interesting in that interview as well that was president trumps assessment of kim jong-un. and when you listen very closely to it, it sounds like theres just a bit of empathy there about the position the north korean leader is in. listen. >> hes 27 years old. his father dies. took over a regime. so, say what you want, but thats not easy, especially at that age. im not giving him credit or not giving h...
