[applause] >> catherine delphi is a professor of music here grandview. it s been great to be here these classed couple of days, at your school. a republican who says that she supports you, catherine go ahead. >> i kathryn. >> thank you for being here. >> of course. >> could you please explain to us your rationale for pardoning mr. trump when he has been associated with so much division and chaos in our country. >> when you talk about a pardon, the person has already been found guilty. when it comes to president, trump he still has to face, and we will find out whether he s guilty or not. but if you re talking about a pardon, you are assuming he s guilty. nobody gets pardoned if you re not guilty. for me it s not about guilt or innocence. it s about what is in the best interest for the country, i don t think our country will move forward with an
obviously bill clinton hasn t been accused of any wrongdoing or donald trump or a lot of people. jeffrey epstein web of scandals by being named in these documents. >> ainsley: you are right. moms said birds of a feather. do you support unsealing the documents. list the name of people, epstein and ghislaine were at chelsea clinton s wedding. you don t want a pedophile at your daughter s wedding. but you are automatically associated with him even if you didn t do anything wrong. do you support the judge documents. >> her rationale it was kind of most of it was already public anyway and some reason that the public should be able to know about this. court documents are not private. usually they are public unless they need some type of
also saying it was perpetrated by two suicide bombers. that is often the way i.s.i.s. perpetrates attacks, but just yesterday the iranian authorities were saying that the first of the two bombs was in a suitcase, and that it was remotely detonated. so far, ices has not put forward concrete evidence to support their claim, but the m.o. of the rationale, the style of attack, it all fits i.s.i.s.. it also fits their propaganda style to overstate their claims. >> nic robertson, thank you for that report. i want to bring in cnn s jeremy diamond live in tel aviv for us. jeremy, what more can you tell us about this morning from the israeli defense minister? that time is running out on diplomacy with hezbollah on its border with lebanon. >> reporter: an intense round of american diplomacy is currently underway. a special envoy for president biden meeting today with israel s defense minister, as well as israeli prime minister just yesterday. the lebanese foreign minister
i.s.i.s. has a record of targeting iranians. why would they target the memorial for soleimani, because they saw soleimani as one of the architects of iran s efforts to go after, to be part of a coalition going after i.s.i.s.. so there is a rationale behind i.s.i.s. s claims. they have also -- this also fits their m.o. of targeting large gatherings of civilians and killing and maiming lots of innocent civilians. so this fits there and oh. it does not fit the m.o. of israel s operations, where they have very specific and clear identify targets killed with a minimum of collateral thymic. -- collateral damage. where i.s.i.s. s claim differentiate from what iran is saying, obviously the number is different, iran is saying the death toll is now at 84. it s not unusual prices to overestimate and overstate the debt claim at 300, but they are
commander inside syria days before. no one claimed responsibility for that, but the indications is it was likely israel. i asked the former head of the idf military intelligence what he thought about the rise in all these strikes. he said he believed at the moment they were underneath a threshold that could lead too an escalation. part of the rationale is whatever is done at the moment, even the fact that iran has send a destroying to the red sea, that even if that destroyer ship was sunk, that israel -- that iran wouldn t predict back. this is how he told me. >> i think the iranians will be very, very careful, even if after provocation, as they would suffer a loss, but starting a war with the u.s., or even with
he has the latest information. what is isis saying, nic, about the attack. >> reporter: isis is saying they used two suicide bombers, two brothers in fact, to attack and kill those civilians in iran. indeed, they are claiming to have killed over 300 people at that attack. part of the rationale they laid out as well was that iran is using its sunni neighbors as proxies for its own fight for its own end. this is a critique isis is leveling at iran here. also, they re targeti ing soleimani, it appears, the mem memorial, as they saw him as part of the coalition to bring down isis. iran had said one of the bombs at least was in a suitcase, that it was remote did i detonated.
civilians in large numbers. they use suicide bombers, that doesn t gel with what iran said yesterday, they settle at least one of the explosions was in a suitcase and detonated remotely. they said there would be a harsh response for this attack but at this stage, even though isis hasn t put forward credible evidence, most of the circumstantial evidence around this, what they ve said, their rationale for it, their style of attacks, it does seem to indicate and support that this most likely seems like it was an isis attack. >> former deputy director of national intelligence is joining us to discuss these developments. >> to these attacks signal to you a resurgence in isis? >> i think it might be in fact, the idea that isis is worried
insinuations and photographs together with bill clinton and donald trump. again, it was the business ties these guys had of them especially back then when you go back to 1990s with bill clinton, i think people are missing that. >> yeah, yes, and business ties and philanthropic -- listen, bill clinton had a philan philanthropic, the clinton foundation that was controversial. peter schweizer did a great recording on this spirit about i can see him wanting money from jeffrey epstein who had a lot o. donald trump, you know, was big into the palm beach scene. they went to parties together. does that mean donald trump did something wrong? of course not. it means they were once friends. >> neil: the timing of this and the rationale behind this. something there you want to unequivocally prove with prince andrew and the family but outside of that, you know, people are making connections and certainly it is not proven.
exclusion and indoctrination. we eliminated it. we re focusing on universities on the core mission of what act deed yeah used to be pursuing truth not to be indoctrination centers. i have taken on the left and beat them in ways that donald trump and other candidates just simply have not. this is the do or die time for this country. we re in a period of decline. we need to reverse it. i ll get it done. >> bill: here is a quote from the haley campaign. if desantis doesn t win iowa no rationale for them to move on. biden was fourth in 2020. it didn t stop him. you will do a debate. i want to get to the question. >> they are trying to -- exactly, we ll do a debate. >> on cnn. >> we ll do a debate and be able to have a sharp contrast in our visions. i think she has had very difficult time recently because
issue for them. unfortunately, that is just a cyclical problem. and we ve got to come together as a nation and get this right. not only because every nation has the right to secure its borders, but also because we have a global refugee crisis that is driven from everything from climate change to again the rise of authoritarianism, and we in the united states have a lot of jobs that need to be filled. there are many places, many communities in the united states that actually need workers. so let s look for those opportunities, let s create a system that s humane, that s rationale, that makes for a stronger country. but it s really hard to do that when you don t actually have good faith negotiating partners. and unfortunately, i don t believe that the biden administration has that right now. and so, in the interim, you know, you ve also got a situation in which cities like new york are dealing with what the southern border has dealt with for years, which is a kind of patch work system and everybody else is -- everybody is kind of suffering because of
