White house that shaw was asked did general kelly know about these allegations months ago. thats a yes or no question. he kept saying im not going to get into the timeline. using the reasoning theres some sort of ongoing background check of rob porter which doesnt make any sense. >> yes. he did not go through a tick tock because it could be too damming. you do the comparison, the president did not know about the allegations until yesterday. when it came to chief of staff john kelly, he only woul...

Giving a full tick-tock or explaining of the timetable in terms of what john kelly and other top white house staffers knew and when they knew it is because it is, quote, too damning and that is an indication, anderson, that i think they knew full well going into this briefing today that they simply could not give, you know, a detailed explanation as to what john kelly knew and when he knew it because it would just simply be too damaging to this white house. now obviously you were just playing th...

When a country is moving from being closed to being open. if the regime is lightened and strategic, it may be able to weather this rocky transition. the chaos produces a return to oppression or a collapse of the state. iran has the ingredients for a revolution. over half the population is under 30. large numbers of its youth are educated yet unemployed. almost 50 million iranians have smartphones with which they can learn about the world and reformers have consistently raised expectations but ne...
