My colleague reporting from a shelter being run by catholic charities. i want to ask you about the role of religious groups in all of this. there is the frame work, the prism through which you look at this. but with the powerlessness i was talking about, religious groups are stepping up. whats the role theyre playing here under very trying, difficult circumstances and also just changing or shaping this conversation to make us more aware of whats happened. >> i think if public conversation in the...

Where you go next on this? >> heres where i think we as americans go, to clarify one thing, peter struck was in charge july of 2016 until may of 2017 when bob mueller was appointed special counsel. he remained on the case three more months until he was removed when these text messages came to light. during the formative nine months of the trump-russia investigation, he and others who hated donald trump were in charge of making decisions, gathering evidence, and its through that prism of -- that ...

Prism by which you respond to it. democrats are already saying this is a nothing burger. its process and procedure. republicans are pointing to these texts. the new ones that are out and that is you referenced before with catherine, "no, we will stop him" from becoming president. that text of peter strzok was just released in this before despite being asked for by congress for many, many months. trey gowdy, who was the chairman of the house oversight committee, he has been somebody that has play...

Same texts that i am reading. peter strzok said the vote should be 100 million to zero. he cant think of a single solitary american that would want donald trump to be president. he said he will stop it. actually, director comey unwittingly just prove the point of the question you asked him on follow-up. would you have kept him on investigation how do you know what you know now? and he said no. because bias is not insidious, its that pervasive and it colors your ability to do what we need the fbi...

Worries me about putting u.s. military exercises with south korea into the equation. no one is talking about reducing the north korean military threat. the president approaches all this, again, at our alliance it n that our alliance with south korea costs more than it benefits us even though weve had more than a half century of stability on the peninsula and south korea has become the 11th wealthiest country in the world so it makes me uneasy that he still looks at this through a prism that woul...

Course, when we predicted that -- when you predicted that barack obama was going toet elected in 2007 i was surprised. when we predicted that donald ump would win the republican primary, despite our reservations about him, a lot of people wereurprised. when we predicted that donald trump still had a shot three weeks out, a lot of people became very angry because there werent too many people saying that. looking through the prism, what impact will this have on american voters, whats theyre going ...

It might be, american viewers and viewers around the world will also be able to know about the people there, not just about the dictators, not just about the politics. but they will be able to get to know the people. and i really think thats important. because i think too often americans have a one dimensional view of a foreign country. and its only told to them through the prism of breaking news. >> i thought he was a better journalist than many of us ever could be. because it came to him natur...

Administration is missing the opportunity to move from tactical to strategic leverage on these trade issues. >> and richard haass tweeted this alis. the veling of the g7 summit works in north koreas favor as donald trump will not want to bust up two smits in a row lest people conclude he is the problem. increases incentive for kim to up his asks and limited his compromises and for trump to do the opposite. hardly the ideal context. >> and jeffrey. this is actually exactly what donald trump would...

They gave obama a nobel and they wont give me one. even though hes done nothing to earn nobel. this meeting alone wont get it done. its a photo op. as the reporters explained, kim jong-un wants this photo op as much as trump does. it legitimizes him as this mystical god-like figure to his own people, which is wrong. and then trump can do the same thing to pretend hes worthy of a nobel. remember, theres one other prism. respectfully, amba that is his obsession with obama. obama said to him in the...
