Page 39 - War Record News Today

Program, president trump was tweet in real time, what he had said was his war record, which of course is confusing again, because donald trump doesnt have the most illustrious military service record. >> well, twitter does go to an international audience as long as the enter net is open and free. its both the leaders and the people of those cunning forming their own impressions. weve never done diplomacy in 140 characters or less at a time. this is a new environment were in as twitter is a immed...

Former prosecutor, i can tell you that there were defense counsel who attacked me in the courtroom and before we reached the courtroom. but bob mueller is a prosecutors prosecutor. apart from his war record and all of his personal credentials, he has been around this track quite a few times. and he has the grit and backbone to stand up to those kinds of tactics. >> you know, im old enough to remember, obviously, the impeachment proceedings, and you were also with president bill clinton. and it f...

Its what then triggered the rest of this set of investigations. had he kept comey in place, there would certainly be an fbi investigation underway, but there wouldnt be any of this structure that were seeing now, that clearly the president finds so disturbing. i think the last point, and this goes back to something that jeff got at before, which is that at the moment that mueller was appointed, you heard a lot of republicans saying that, you know, he was a perfect choice, hes very nonpartisan, h...

Entity like sinclair? >> its an interesting comparison to fox news. when people turn to fox or are watching the network as a whole, they know what they are getting, they are there deliberately for that ideological leaning, sinclair is different. they are presenting these segments which they say are must-runs and are neutral. this is not the fox version. this is not the fair and balanced version. this is your supposedly unbiased news and yet they are distributing news about a documentary like joh...

Competitive wanter -- he played into what the biggest strength of, not just what the media does, but what this show does. >> i think its important that we dont always take the bait. weve got to do what we do and do it reliably and with credibility like we do on a daily basis and let those, whether its the president or other people work with him engage in propaganda which is what it is and try to delegitimize the news media. >> when he intentionally and deceptively misrepresents what happens on t...

The president made some comments about mccains war record. on the campaign trail, those didnt appear to hurt him. a lot of his base were supportive of that. as we saw, it worked out for him. the issue now is this an effective strategy that i can use to work with the senate to advance his agenda. is it helpful. i think well see how that plays out. >> shepard: the president, while he was a candidate, some of his biggest promises off the bat were a border wall, tax cuts, those two specifically. is ...

Question about the campaign the day before in iowa. we were at a scott walker event. i remember luntz saying to me, im going to ask him about john mccain. i want to see what hes going to say. i have a feeling he might say something about his war record because you never know with donald trump. he got it. he knew that was going to happen. >> jeremy, i think it was the iowa state fair that you cited as the moment that you realized or saw the rock star reception that donald trump was getting. >> we...

>> michelle obama is campaigning right now in arizona for hillary clinton. do you think that clinton can win a state like arizona, maybe even utah? these are traditionally republican states in presidential contests. the polls show its very close between her and trump in those states. >> i do. if you listen to my republican colleagues from those states, a number of them have early on said that they distanced themselves, they disavowed donald trumps positions. the muslim ban, his sharp disrespect ...

Attacking a favorite pop star. fans would hate that. is that a fair assessment of how they are trying to undermine donald trumps credibility with this soft attack? >> yeah. thomas, i think its, you know, its fair and also very savvy. we have seen ted cruz going back from the beginning of donald trumps campaign, remember when donald trump criticized john mccain his war record and essentially ted cruz either embracing donald trump or not rejecting him out of hand and what we saw last night when te...

From the very first moment that donald trump said things controversial including about john mccains war record is that ted cruz hasnt been willing to criticize donald trump at all. and one of the reasons i think ted cruz realizes that if trump ever does falter, he would end up being a recipient and a beneficiary from that. but i think to your point, tamron, i mean, even among republicans wlo decided to criticize donald trump after his comment about muslims entering the united states, we saw some...
