>> well, on the thursday, i guess, after the election i was fired. he didnt have the very best people in front of him to be able to make a full and fair decision about. so in the end this is a monumental staff failure that failed the president and as a result failed the country. >> now, thats not a trump critic youre listening to. that is an early endorser who, of course, was in charge of transition saying, full stop, not the best people, and failure. now, as always, we report out what were hear...

I think the president believes that an agreement with north korea is his ticket into the history books, dealing with iran is politically fraught. clearly, thats proven the case for mr. obama and some of mr. obamas predecessors and kim, i think, believes that there may well be a way to turn the president. i just dont see that one either, frankly, right now, producing concrete results. both of these relationships will produce outcomes but not necessarily comprehensive, of course. >> aaron david mi...

He backed up and i dont see where that solved any of the iran questions, in fact, he was the one that took the country out of the agreement with iran. and in terms of the separation, i dont recall under any previous administration people separating and taking children out of the arms of their parents. out of their mothers arm. and he defended that all the way until now when hes starting re-election mode. he defended that and said that it was the right thing to do and now hes saying, well, my pre...

Conspiracy. there was a reference to the fact that the trump people talked about collusion once or twice. that was it. there was nothing about no collusion. there was no exoneration specifically that said no exoneration of obstruction. the committee said there was obstruction. its their moniker to lie, and it all comes from their leader who said he never met this woman. i dont know the woman who accused him of rape, but i would take pinocchios word over trump because pinocchio has a better recor...

Time and is now trying to make a case for war based on the reports of an intelligence community that hes derided for the past two years. hes being advised by one acting defense secretary who is about to be replaced by a second one and according to federal law may soon be replaced by a third acting secretary. theres no discernible policy process an hes being advised by his friends on fox news. finally this is a president glibly talking about serious and grave matters of war on twitter, trying to ...

Commander in chief of contradictions, he talks like a war monger, but acts like a peace nick. he will reign down fire and fury on them, while striving to avoid more of the foreign wars he blames his predecessors for waging. i cant help but think -- what will espers challenges be reporting to a boss who is so unpredictable on so many issues. >> from a strategic perspective, the united states has been involved in four wars over the last 18 years in the middle east. i understand some of your viewer...

Existential issues involved. if you separate the argument from irans desire to have nuclear weapons, its a different story. if this is mere retaliation for attacks on the tankers and the drone, thats one thing. if its a bigger picture, at some time the president is going to have to face a choice, and its a dilemma that weve been talking about in the united states for 40 years, since the hostages were taken, and thats a big problem. >> so my next question would be, if you comment him for his rest...

Wrote about the fund-raising totals and daniel weaner who is a senior council with democracy program at the brendan center for justice and campaign finance expert. michelle, what is different about the fund-raising apparatus donald trump has compared to predecessors? >> unlike presidents before him, he started raising money for reelection as soon as he became president, which means he had a long time already to just stockpile a lot of money away for reelection campaign. in the first 24 hours of ...

Who was on that panel. the oakland aird and comey hughes you will find what he says very interesting. he is a democrat and writer. he is saying reparations would make him a i have. listen to the montage of all these sound bites. >> the stain of slavery was not just inked in blood shed but in the overt slavery policies that fueled racism disadvantaged african-americans for decades. >> it is important that we know our history and not punish people today for the sins of their predecessors in the de...

Proposals on reparations to african-americans. the big question is whether or not the house will go ahead with that. steny hoyer said yesterday we will have a vote in the house if it gets out of the committee. yesterday in the committee it got heated. >> the stable of slavery was not just inked in blood shed but in the overt state sponsored policies that fueled white supremacy and racism and have disadvantaged african-americans economically for generations. >> it is important that we know our hi...
