By itself. i think the question is, is the president getting a signal from a republican congressional leadership that has been willing to defer to him each time he broken a norm from not releasing returns to firing james comey. is he getting a signal this is treated differently? im not sure the answer is yes. >> i think that is the danger and until and unless a cratering of support among republicans for the president, you will not see congressional leadership step up. that said, we can leaven th...

Is it that supposedly in march, the leadership moved away from raqqah? is it this doesnt comport with what we understand about al bagdadis typical practices or the intel side that not only do you not have reaction from isis, but supposedly u.s. intel is not picking up chatter? >> i put it onni both, chris. if something like this happened, there would be a lot of talk about it. what the russians are reporting through their state run news agency is this strike occurred between 2115 and 2145 hours ...

In to address the resources. >> take us behind the scenes when the third terror attack happened in three months this weekend. how do you imagine that reaction unfolded? >> i imagine it is going to be a reaction of dismay, grim determination and putting into place the contingency plans that do exist. the multi-agency plans that exist, not just with the police but with all of londons emergency services and partner to respond swiftly. what we saw the other evening was the working of that with a swi...

Democrats are attacking the people or britain on their streets here, but because there is an imperative to follow through with what the prime minister has called for, an election she hopes will strengthen her hand in those talks but to have a hand and a strong voice at that table in europe. because theres a finite amount of time. the prime minister triggered the brexit negotiations on the 30th of march, the end of march. the clock runs for two years she needs all that time in this process. so th...

Back now with my panel, shemichael, you were making a point. what did you want to say? >> i was going to say if you look at our history as a country and society, and previous times in the past where we dealt with similar situations, the president of the united states did step up to lead. a leader is supposed to guide people as a collective, as a group, and i think regardless of republicans or democrats, that is the expectation that we must maintain for any individual that maintains the office of...

The appropriate care and still its twisting around and through the legal system. people should stand up and do the right thing, take care of these 7,000 people. irrespective, these people were human test dummies, guinea pigs. its laughable when you look at the clips that they could think injecting these substances, making them inhale substances wouldnt have prolonged effects. this is outrageous. and i have very good confidence given what president trump has done so far that this will be rectifie...

Mainstream media is that angela merkel is attacking president trump when she says europe should decide its own destiny. hello, wake up? shouldnt they have been do that for a long time on their own? why is america controlling their destiny? >> exactly. the reason people think it was a bit of a dig she used the little aside there ive discovered this over the last few days. but really, the thrust of her comments is positive. we should all be welcoming the fact that europe is saying hey, lets step u...

This person, this is not someone i would like to serve with, thats when i think we need to step up and call a spade a spade. >> the president did a robo call for gianforte for fulfilling the seat in montana. you know, do you think that he should say something? >> i think it proves to be true. everyone deserves their day in court. if hes convicted of a misdemeanor, it sets a really nice precedent. whether youre a teacher, an attorney, you would be fired if you harassed someone in this manner and ...
