we will not talk about numbers of troops. that is new for the american presidency. at no point tonight did the president clarify anything about what would actually change militarily for the united states in afghanistan. if this speech is meant to be interpreted as an increase in troop strength in afghanistan, it s the first time a president has announced an increase in troop strength without actually announcing an increase in troop strength. as commander in chief, i have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 u.s. troops to afghanistan. after 18 months, our troops will begin to come home. these are the resources that we need to seize the initiative while building the afghan capacity that can allow for a responsible transition of our forces out of afghanistan. and here is how president george w. bush described the military surge that he ordered in iraq. so uch committed more than 20,000 additional american troops to iraq. the v ....
take a stand against 76% of what americans think is right. several republicans and democrats including my first guest tonight, california senator harris spent the weekend making statements and tweeting strong opposition to president trump ending daca. but in trump s mind, there was the looming headline that appears in breitbart today if the president did nothing about daca, and then, of course, there was the president himself. the candidate who campaigned on ending daca had only this to say when last asked about it on friday. should d.r.e.a.m.ers be worried? we love the dreamers. the president would delay a final big decision on daca for six months, an immigration hard liner told the new york times he s being pulled in a bunch of different directions and because he doesn t have any strong anchor or deep knowledge of the issue, he ends up sort of not knowing what to do. i think the fact that they did nothing to it suggests that they had no idea what to do. that was an a ....

this was somebody there are people who were skeptical about donald trump from the very beginning. this was somebody playing ball with donald trump and was a supporter and maybe even going to be his vice presidential candidate. so the fact that he s saying these kinds of things shows that he gave him a fair hearing, was willing to give him a try, and it s become pretty clear that this is a highly problematic president. part of the thing that is worrying to me is we re starting to see everything through the prism of here s another twitter scandal, here s another bit of the crazy. how crazy. you re talking about somebody who has more access to information about threats to america than almost any human being on earth, senator corker, saying he s afraid of world war iii, to the paper of record for the country. that should be a full stop, all traffic comes to a halt moment. because this is a cry for help for the country. and yet but it doesn t come until after donald trump p ....
special prosecutor is going to talk to steve bannon, who you spent a lot of time talking to. the special prosecutor has been talking to many of your sources in this book. has the special prosecutor reached out to you to talk to you about either the firing of the special prosecutor or any other elements of this story? he has not. and if the special prosecutor does want to interview you, would you cooperate with that? good question, and i don t know the answer. but i think that the answer is, yes, because i have nothing to hide. everything i know is in the book. what about the sources that are many sources are revealed in the book and many quotes attributed to people. but there are a lot of unattributed quotes. if the special prosecutor would point to the book and say who is the source here, and it s a source i can t reveal, i clearly would not. you know there s no privilege. the special prosecutor could hold you in contempt and you could end up in jail by refusing< ....
