Good evening. we begin tonight with the president yet again saying something that turns out not to be true and the white house scrambling to cover for him. a white house official has confirmed that the west wing tried to expedite condo lessons letters after the president said this at the rose garden last week. >> ive written them personal letters. theyve been september or theyre going out tonight, but they were during the weekend. >> well, that was monday. on tuesday the president said this in a...

Mistake that the white house was making. they were not making these contacts with families of fallen soldiers when maybe they needed to. and so maybe the positive thing that comes of this in the future is that they are sending those letters and they are making those phone calls. certainly not the way you want to see this come to light if youre the white house. >> remember, amidst all the uproar on october 17th last week, the president cede this at a radio interview. "i have called, i believe, ev...

This is an exchange between the white house and the pentagon on tuesday, october 17th. in other words, hours after he had made that, the president had made that comment and the radio interview about contacting virtually all the families. and what the e-mails show is that the white house realized -- his top aides realized that was not -- at least an overstatement, shall we say? and that they needed to find out who had died. what their names were. they got the notices of death in each case all 65 ...

Forth between them to say the least. the president still frustrated over mccains no vote on that health care bill over the summer. and just this week, when the president was here right next door to the white house, in the executive office building, doing a slew of radio interview, he was asked about john mccains criticism of him and he was saying that he fights on those things, so weve seen him be incredibly critical him so far. not likely that will end anytime soon. he regularly brings up his f...

Zeleny. you were there in the room. jeff, this was extraordinary. >> reporter: it was extraordinary and you could see the emotion, you could hear the emotion on the face and indeed in the voice of john kelly. of course, the retired four star marine general who knows sadly all sides of what he was talking about today. he is a marine who has not and does not often if ever talk about his son robert who was killed seven years ago next month in afghanistan. he was a marine and of course the reason th...

You know, i respond to all these families, call all these family, whereas not all my predecessors have done that, drawing a compare and contrast it seemed with president obama specifically because the next day he said in a radio interview, you know, i dont know if obama called john kelly when his son was killed in 2010, maybe you should ask him about that. sure enough, reporters asked the white house about that. the white house was happy to feed an answer back and confirmed that obama had not ca...

International leadership and our duty to remain the last best hope of earth for the sake solve some half baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems. >> and here is how the president of the united states responded to that today in a radio interview. >> you heard what he said yesterday, senator mccain. >> yeah, well, i hear it. people have to be careful because at some point i fight back, you know. im being very nice. im being very, very ni...

Senator john mccain last night after he was awarded the national constitution centers liberty medal calling out many of the current administrations policies and some of their supporters. the ones who march with tiki torches. >> we live in a land made of ideals. not blood and soil. we are the custodians of those ideals at home. and their champion abroad. >> blood andabroad. >> blood and soil there. not once did the arizona republican mention the republican by name, the president was quick to take...

Torches. >> we live in a land made of ideals. not blood and soil. we are the custodians of those ideals at home. and their champion abroad. >> blood andabroad. >> blood and soil there. not once did the arizona republican mention the republican by name, the president was quick to take exception during a radio interview. . >> the president of the united states talking about fighting back against an 81-year-old diagnosed with possibly terminal brain cancer, senator mccains response to mr. trump nex...

Nasty conversation. and a fight with a senator who spent five plus years as a prisoner of war, was tortured and injured for life. first off, it was during a radio interview earlier today, president trump was asked again about his false claim that president obama did not call the families of u.s. service members killed in action. >> do you want to clarify anything there? >> theres nothing to clarify, if you look at my -- this was fake news, cnn, theyre a bunch of fakers, they asked me that questi...
