Transcripts For FBC The Intelligence Report With Trish Regan 20170615

Is the Mainstream Media and hollywood partly to blame for the spread of hateful rhetoric . Were asking republican congressman Jack Bergmann who was at the scene of yesterdays shooting. We want to go to blake burman for the latest on the russia probe, possible obstruction of justice which is what the Washington Post is reporting. Hi, blake. Reporter that is indeed the report from the Washington Post and others. President trump did not weigh in on this yesterday obviously due to the circumstances. This morning though, that changed with a couple tweets he sent out. He tweeted out following this morning, quoting from the president , they made up phony collusion with the russians story. Found zero proof. Now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice. He then followed that up saying youre witnessing the single greatest witchhunt in american political history, led by some very bad and conflicted people. Trish, here is what i can tell you. There is a briefing ongoing here at the white house with Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Sanders just stepped out here to get to the camera. There were 10, dozen, different iterations reporters were trying to drill down on this topic. As we heard moments ago from sanders, what the white house is saying for better part of two weeks, theyre referring all questions to the president s outside counsel and legal team. Among the questions just asked to Sarah Sanders, who was the president referring to bad an conflicted people . Was he talking about bob mueller, who is leading the special investigation, the special counselor . Sanders would not answer. She would not comment whether the president believes it is within his power to shut down the investigation. No comment. She was also asked if the president has confidence in bob mueller and her answer was, i believe so. By the way, trish, here today at the white house the president signed an executive ordealing with trying to buildout apprenticeship programs and sanders made some official news, something weve known for a little while but they just put on the record, the president will be traveling to miami tomorrow to unveil his u. S. Cuba policy. Trish . Trish well watch for that. Thank you very much, blake burman. As blake just reported, President Trump is calling this the biggest witchhunt in american political history. So is he right . Joining me historian, former advisor to two u. S. President s, doug wead. Good to have you here. What do you think . Turned out didnt seem like there was a whole lot there there with james comey but now bob null letter may be potentially looking into obstruction of justice. Is there Something Else going on . Yeah, i think this is, this is an attempt to reverse democraticallyelected president of the United States. Weve done it in other countries. In philippines and chile and iran, egypt, in the a you crain. Here we go, looks like some people want to change the last election. I dont know how else you can look at this. This is not watergate. You can trot out john dean and have him sit on television sets, you can bring sam irwin back from the dead but this is not watergate. Nixon had been in power for almost five years. He used the cia and the fbi against his enemies. He raised money for the burglars and for their families, watergate burglars. He fired the special prosecutor which caused the resignation of the attorney general and Deputy Attorney general. There is no comparison. The scandal now is there was no scandal, not even an investigation. And how do you, how do you recoup six months incessant propaganda and hysteria . That is a witchhunt. Trish where do you think it is all coming from . Are these parts of deep in the government who do not want him there and this is tear ticket to get him out . How does this all start to erupt to begin with . He is disruptive. People talk about the swamp. There is the swamp, companies in the Obama Stimulus Program were excepted from regulations, environmental regulations that other companies, if you started a new company you would have to keep them. There are companies that get huge amounts of money from the federal government. Corporate welfare now is greater than welfare for the poor. There are the a lot of people that make a lot of money, call it legalized corruption. Unbarack obama, the poor got poor, richer got richer. People dont like donald trump because he is a disruptive force. Ironically, there are people, i call it yellen envy, hey were tired of the corruption and tired of paying money to lobbyists. We can compete in the marketplace. That is what is driving the stock market up. Maybe trump will be successful. Trish this is concerning, doug, youre basically saying people in government that want to reverse what the American Public did, voters put donald trump in the white house. They put him there for a reason. They want things to get done. They want security, Economic Security as well. None of that is getting done because sidetracked by the big circus. Seems like that circus is going to keep selling tickets for the foreseeable future. It is, it is. The idea its a witchhunt doesnt mean that donald trump is is safe. If you study the salem witch trials for example, it was not burning at the stake, it was hanging. Two innocents died in prison came out of that witch trial. That was an ugly period. I think that is a good comparison. There are people who dont want him in power. So they lost on the russian thing. They will just move to Something Else. By the way, trish, i saw you trish you do you think bob mueller sorry you finish that thought. I saw you on the fox news channel. You were great. They ought to have a show that interviews trish regan. Trish thank you, doug. How he oaf fenn people, he is outsider who is coming in, he doesnt quite know how to do things their way. Lets face it, americans elected him so things would change, and things would be different, doug. Are you telling me though there are people deep in government that want to he reverse everything that america tried to push through . Yes, i think it started reversing a long time ago. Maybe after 9 11. Maybe before that. Many corporations, no longer democrat or republican. It is no longer left and right. It is inside and outside. There are insiders. I think the American People instinctively felt that when they voted for trump trump. They you thought like the class clown. They didnt like everything he said about people in the classroom but they liked the fact he was disrupting and poking the nose, of infuriating suffocating teacher, which would be in this case the corporate media. There are people in government, outside of government, in business that dont want the cart upset right now. Trish i hear you. It could get very problematic though. Doug, good to have you here. Thank you very much. Thank you, trish. Trish markets are trading a little bit lower just down 25 points amid reports that President Trump is being investigated pour possible obstruction of justice. I got to say investors are shrugging this off. They dont necessarily at this point anyway seem it is all that concerning, ill tell you would be in a much bigger selloff. There are delays were seeing in terms of progress for the Economic Policy agenda the president would like to get through and that is a problem i have got to say for the market. The markets want tax reform. The markets want some infrastructure plan. As the president tries to move forward with the Workforce Development week. An hour ago, an executive order was signed to fund apprenticeships and onthejob training for American Workers but as trump gets back to business here, democrats are trying to block his agenda, even filing a lawsuit against the president over his foreign business dealings. We go were that one again. Republican strategist, Ford Oconnell and democratic strategist, don calloway. Ford, i have to ask you, they dont like this guy made a lot of money, has a lot of businesses in a lot of different places. Members of the left were calling for him to completely divest himself of all his properties. I hate to break it to them, but this is not a stock that you can buy or sell. When youre talking about selling a building, selling a property, one, you have to find a buyer. That could take a long time. Two, if Everybody Knows you have to sell everything immediately because you have become president , it is a firesale. In other words, ford, they are asking for the absolute impossible. Are they not, when they say we want to you divest everything, and if you dont, somehow there is a conflict . There is not a law on the books for the way donald trump or the government an visioned donald trump coming in here. Youre absolutely right. You can not sell property off like you can stocks. And frankly, the democrats trying to throw out emoluments clause against donald trump is almost laughable. Number one, nobody has been prosecuted under it. The basic legal theory was to make sure the american president wouldnt be in the pocket of british. Im sure we cant argue that donald trump is not in the pocket of british this is political game to stop his agenda. Understand what the democrats and media in particular feel. He can come up with a cure of cancer an they would shun the idea. They see him as illegitimate president. They recognize his success, hinges on the economy. So as long as he cant get his again today through, they feel like theyre winning. You think that is what it is about, don . I look at the whole idea of selling off everything, i think it is misguided and frankly naive because ill tell you one thing, if he sold a building to the russians, or to the chinese, i guarranty you that would be a whole other set of issues. In other words, his buyers that would buy the property, they would find issues with them. Youre damned if you do, youre damned if you dont. Cant they just recognize the fact you have a billionaire who will back off his business but, it is who he is . It is part of what hes built, and lord, we certainly dont want to dissuade other future billionaires or successful for running for office . Welsh trish, ford and i agree on basic premise there has never been a precedent for someone of Donald Trumps financial status to take this office, however much of this is under the president s own creation when he failed to disclose not only his tax returns but he failed to really disclose the extensiveness of his Global Holdings which are intricate and tied up. Frankly i dont think anybody in dem crick leadership called for full divestiture. What they called for more transparency. What they have called for the president an his sons running his business to make a concerted and very plain effort to continue to not get foreign governments tied up into the properties that they do have such as the Saudi Arabian Government Spending millions of dollars a year at trump properties. Kushner and trumpowned trish i dont know how you fix that, don. That is reality. This guy is very successful businessman. He said im not going to be involved in the business. My sons are taking it over. It is what it is. Lets not kid ourselves. I guarranty you, once you United States and you leave, you are going to command a premium, whatever you do, right . Barack obama has certain opportunities afforded to him now because he was the president of the United States. Trish, he was president. He is not sitting president. There is difference. Trish nobody cast can be successful work your whole life to be a president and cant have the business because youre president . We have firm owned by kushner family, lead contractor in a 1. Billion dollar Federal Building bid, that is a problem. We never had precedent for that but that doesnt make it right. It is what it is, trish. Trish ford, you answer that. My point is very simple. Where was all the concern about transparency when Hillary Clinton was running for president. Yeah she released her tax returns. Were not talking about hillary. Were talking about sitting president but you only care about the issue because it is donald trump. Lets be perfectly honest. Never a precedent for this youre absolutely. We care about it because donald trump we demand transparency. Trish as much as you can get right now, don, ford, thank you so much. Markets selling off a little bit today, down 30 points. It is day after the fed said we are going to raise rates. They still want to raise them one more time this year. Investors think maybe december. Are there reports that special Counsel Robert Mueller investigating president whether he obstructed justice weighing on markets . You how much do investors care . We have the intel. I will see you back here in two. Will you be ready when the moment turns romantic . Cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. Tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. Do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Do not drink alcohol in excess. To avoid longterm injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. If you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. Ask your doctor about cialis. Trish i want to turn to the markets because we are turning lower, just a bit lower, down 32 points just a day after the fed said they would raise shortterm rates for the second time this year. So maybe that is a little bit of concerning but you also have some concerns right now the status of President Trumps progrowth agenda is at risk and it is at risk because i said the Second Quarter is discuss continues here circus continues here because the Washington Post puts out a story about investigation into the possible obstruction of justice. Amy, i havent seen you in a while. Good to have you on the show. What you do you think . Are investors worried that things like tax reform, repeal and replace obamacare and infrastructure spend that he wants to get done will not happen as a result of Mueller Investigation . Chief Market Intelligence officer i spend a lot of time developing the market narrative and what goes into that mosaic and part of it is obviously is political events but to really look at this situation, you have to go back to last week. Did the market he react sending prices down going riskoff when we had the comey testimony . The answer is no. I would say the market is much more focused on the bigger narrative which is Central Banks trying to figure out what they will do with their Balance Sheets. That is what sent the market down yesterday along with weak Economic Data on cpi and retail sales. When we look at the Risk Transfer markets from the cftc, trying to figure out what is driving values, why things are doing what theyre doing, were much more focused on bigger things that drive market values and that is Central Banks right now. Trish youre worried Central Banks will be pulling back . We know the fed wants to pull back. That in turn will mean less of a sugar you high. So people should be thinking more conservatively about investing . Yeah. I think it is part of only not the fed but the European Central bank and bank of japan and bank of england. These Central Banks ballooned their Balance Sheets. Theyre now at a point they have to decide how they are going to do it. Lookin at price action yesterday trish i dont know how you do that. I would add the fed surprised market being very detailed what they will do with their Balance Sheet. Trish nicole, they have got to. They have printed so much money they have to figure this one out, right . This is what everybody is concerned about, sort of in the overall scheme of things. How do you bring back normally, given what the fed had to taken on . That is exactly the word, normalization. The idea just raising rates a little bit, winding down that Balance Sheet a little bit. It is 4. 5 trillion. You had a great chart overtime from Lehman Brothers to operation twist to what were seeing now. Were at levels we have been drinking the koolaid. If you want to be optimistic you can say ultimately the idea here the fed and traders believe ultimately policies theyre betting on will go through. That the economic recovery is still underway. While its a little more tepid of late, the idea of things are still okay. That holds everything afloat. Trish together. But if we take into consideration andys point, does it even matter . In other words, andy, if you get all the things you want to get out of washington, tax reform, repeal and replace, infrastructure, spending, et cetera, you still are left with a problem that the fed has a 4. 5 trillion Balance Sheet. Thats right. One of the things we look at just how soft the cpi numbers are. Trish yeah, thats scary to me. What i want to point out trish can i back up . We have the cpi number, Consumer Price index. Basically showed prices in the last month, they went down. Were not seeing any inflation. You at home saying thats good, prices of things are not going up but that is alarming for an economy . Theoretically you want things to cost more, partly incentivizes people to buy something now if they think it will be on sale six months from now, they will not spend today. That is a very hard trend to fight, andy. I think people are excited about the cost of cell phones going down and gasoline clearly being cheap. That is really helpful for consumers, no doubt about it. My concern overall were in soft commodity market situation. It is softening, i should say. What really worries me some, tent this occurs in backdrop of relatively weak dollar scenario. If we see for instance, dollar strengthens due to actions by Central Banks, we could possibly be in an environment where we would see a lot more pressure come into the commodity markets, enhance that, the trend that we already see. So that is worrying. Also unscores that there is not enough demand to take out those commodities for economic growth. Trish nicole, andy, thank you very much. Good explainer on all of it, appreciate it. Representative Steve Scalise, he is in Critical Condition right now everyone after being shot as you know at baseball practice yesterday. His colleagues refusing to allow the shooting to delay the annual bipartisan Charity Baseball game. The game is going on just a couple hours from now. Were going to talk about this, and what this means for the rhetoric we have seen out of washington. Will this help change things . Can we see more unity . Were back with an update next. Times up, insufficient were on prenatal care. Es. And administrative paperwork. Your days of drowning people are numbered. Same goes for you, budget overruns. And rising costs, wipe that smile off your face. Were coming for you, too. For those who wont rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. Optum. How well gets done. My dad called them up and asked for the Jennifer Garner card which is such a dad thing to do. After he gave his name the woman from capital one said mr. Garner, are you related to jennifer . Kind of joking with him. And my dad was so proud to tell her, as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter. So now dad has the venture card, hes earning his double miles, and he made a friend at the company. Can i say it . Go ahead whats in your wallet . Nice job dad. Trish congress is getting back to work today, the day after a man with a rifle opened fire on republican lawmakers out there just practicing for a Charity Baseball game. The a sail lant, he assailant was pretty antitrump. He railed against him on line. He died in a gunbattle with police. The president and his wife visited congressman Steve Scalise from louisiana who was creditally wounded in shooting. The doctors say he will require more operations. President Steve Scalise is a in really tough shape. He is a fighter. Pray for steve. Indeed were all praying for congressman Steve Scalise on both sides of the aisle today. Well, the game is happening tonight between republicans and democrats. Theyre moving forward. They will still have the game in spite of all this or maybe because of all of this. Isnt it that much more important to show some unity . I want to go to adam shapiro. He will be at the game tonight with more. Hi, adam. Reporter hey, trish. It is interesting, you talk about unity, that is the message were hearing from both sides of the aisle. Democrats and republicans, nancy pelosi and speaker of the house paul ryan will address the nation at 7 15 tonight in show of unity. You will see it here at the ballpark. In fact to give you numbers real quick, they have raised roughly one Million Dollars for charitable causes. That is what the game is all about. Last year it only raised 500,000. They released more tickets. 20,000 tickets have been sold for tonights baseball game. The congressional Charity Baseball gam goes back to 1909. Thiswill be a big success. I will update you in a minute on representative scalise and other people that were shot. First i want you to hear about what Vice President mike pence had to say about people come being together. There will always be people who choose to divide. Choose insult over insight. On the baseball field of nations capitol they will see america is better than that as President Trump said yesterday, we are strongest, when we are unified. When we Work Together for the common good. Reporter now, to update you on the people who were shot, you did mention that representative scalise will need more surgery. He remains in Critical Condition. There was the man who is described as a lobbyist, matt mica. He is described by his family needing more surgery. That is the latest on conditions. First pitch at the ballpark, 7 05. In show of unity, in honor of representative scalise will wear baseball caps and gear from lsu. He is the congressman from louisiana, a big lsu fan. Trish we hope he is okay. Thank you very much, adam shapiro. Republican lawmakers they were taking batting practice when the gunshots rang out. My next guest was there when it all happened. Congressman Jack Bergmann of michigan. He joins me. Hard to see this video. Im sure, congressman hard for you to see it. You have to relive it. Walk us through what happened, and what you saw . We were about 3 4 of way through the practice. I was standing next to batting cage on first base side. I was next to bat. The first shot rang out but at first i didnt think of it as a shot. Within a second or two later, the second shot clearly identified it as gunshots. So for all of us trish what did you think . Did you think you were being targeted at the time . The bottom line, when you heart gunshots at a baseball park in a public area it can not be for good. We were not at a shooting range. The point is, everybody i believe, especially those of us in the military kicked into the survival mode, my case marine mode. Assessed where they were coming from. Assumed it to be hostile fire. Began doing evasive action to be out of the line of fire. One thing i didnt have with me was a epweapon. I could not engage. I had to get out of the way to figure out a plan going forward. Trish you mentioned that you didnt have a weapon and that is something that has come up. Would you have felt safer had you had one . You think you were mentioned you are a marine and clearly trained in firearms, do you think you should be able to carry one, look were living in really obviously challenging times where this kind of bad stuff happens . Well, if im in a situation where i know it is totally safe and there is no potential threat, i dont need a firearm with me. But if im potentially in harms way, yes, i assess the situation in advance, i take a with with me. Trish wow. You know, walk me through how this would work. Do you think that every lawmaker there on capitol hill let me back up for a second. What if we said, okay, were going to do better job as a country in terms of providing you security . The fact that there was so little security detail there also may have contributed to this, congressman . I think that it is probably not the right question to start with or the right premise. You start with whats the threat . How is it evolving, and how does it affect each and everyone of us whether it be in our work place or our family life. I was an Airline Pilot for northwest. 9 11, 2001, our lives as crewmembers, changed in a heartbeat based on the hijackers success. Im constantly assessing the threat, and taking appropriate action. Trish and wanting to protect yourself. And protect others. Trish did you see congressman scalise get shot and go down . I didnt see him get shot. He was out in in the second base area. I was focused literally turning to the dugout to move that way. Everybody was going in every different direction. No, i didnt see him go down, no. Trish congressman, are you you playing tonight . You bet. Trish good for you, thats the spirit. Congressman, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you. Trish President Trump, everyone calling for unity in the wake of the horrific shootings wednesday and hes right, right . We need to come together and all the rhetoric from both sides has to stop. But has the left created an environment where its okay to do this, right . I mean people are even celebrated for hating the president of the United States. Were talking about that right here next. Trish i want to check out oil right now, oil trading looks like could be sevenmonth low . Yes. Sevenmonth low after data shows stockpiles were reduced less than expected. In other words you got more supply out there. So that is concerning obviously to some investors. Gas demand has fallen three straight weeks i. A woman is filing a lawsuit against uber that executives obtained her medical records after she was raped by a driver in india. The lawsuit comes after the companys ceo, Travis Kalanick announced his leave of absence earlier in the week. United Airlines Plane heading to italy almost took off with fuel gushing out of its wing. A newly wed couple filmed the leak, tried to alert the crew and being told to look normal. The crewmembers locked out of the window before rushing to the cob kilt. United. Grounded the plain. According to newlyweds were stranded at airport. The united said go easy with them on social media. United issued a general apology. He belonged to a Facebook Group called terminate the republican party. That is the name of it. Volunteer for the sanders campaign, volunteered for bernie sanders, he posted a number of antitrump rants and cartoons leading up to the shooting. One of the cartoons slammed congressman Steve Scalise saying he should lose his job. Now look, this guys crazy, right . He is clearly a crazy person. I dont think everyone who is critical of the president or critical what is going on in washington is having issues like he has but the question we want to get at today, is whether or not all the negativity out there, all the language that we have seen, whether it be kathy griffin, you know, holding up the severed head, whether it be that professor at that Art Institute of washington who was saying that all republicans should be put in a line and shot, are they effectively oh, i didnt mention the julius zoos sar play in central park that depricked President Trump being depicted President Trump being stabbed to death in is this contributing to an environment, that is so hostile, so negative, its inciting violence . That is the question we want to get to. Joining me right now with more on that we have Ford Oconnell and don calloway. Ford, again everybody is entitled to free speech and they can hate what is going on as much as they want. Everybody should feel passionate about things but my question to you is, has it crossed a line in that, has things become so visceral, so negative, so outrage just outrageous, it is inciting violence to some that are crazy enough to be prone to that anyway . We have to be mindful of the role we play perpetuating political violence. Yes, i think it has gone too far. Had the shooter be a trump backer would we talk unity today. Absolutely not don and democrats would be spitting venom. I say this to democrats republicans have a lot to work on. Democrats throwing rhetorical grenades on 24 7 loop. That Trump Doubles as russian agent and that if you voted for him your racist, brainless or a toothless redneck. Both sides have to a lot to work on. The democrats are getting away with murder and media is perpetuating it for them. Trish i agree the media is with them all the steps aof the way. Hitler comparison insulting and really uncalled for, don, is this going to be a wakeup call for those on the left . Are they going to be able to scale back some of what they have said . Trish, the only person who is responsible for what happened yesterday is the idiot who did the shooting and he is no longer with us. It is insane things ford said. Preamble you laid out conveniently names all the instances of the left attacking President Trump but doesnt mention at all President Trump incited violence at more than one of his rallies last year. Doesnt mention at all President Trump said people, Second Amendment people should look to solutions if Hillary Clinton were elected and appointed too many liberal judges. Doesnt mention at all a rand paul trish that is his fault, what youre telling me . Rand paul tweets almost exactly a year ago today the Second Amendment is not for shooting deer, it is for shooting at tyrannical governments. Absolutely not. The left is not solely responsible for this. I didnt say that. When you plant seeds of violence, when you plant seeds of violence you dont get to choose who picks the fruit. Both sides are responsible. Both sides need to cut it out. Silly to act like liberals are solely responsible for the political violence. It absurd. Trish let me get in here for a moment of the right won. So the president is now donald trump. So now it is your opportunity, right now, here and now to bring it back, to dial it back, right . Because he is there. He is in office. The republicans nobody disputes that, trish. Nobody disputes that trish. The left you know what it is easy to say some amorphous liberal media created a violent a the moss fear instead of calling out individuals who sit on thrown of leadership on the right who have done the same. I disagree with you. Except for the guy who did it yesterday. It is not liberals media fault or rand paul or Donald Trumps fault. I love rand paul. Individuals are responsible. Individuals need to take responsible. Trish, you preach individualism. If a severed head, if she was fired immediately. She was fired immediately and should have been fired immediately. Trish don, quite for one minute so we can hear ford. I have to go to commercial break. We wouldnt have severed heads. People trying the Julius Caesar play. Wouldnt have media saying things over and over on a loop because i know when you actually do it, people act that way. Ted nugent said obama should be dead. Stop it. Trish but ford is absolutely right. There is a bias. Weve seen it over and over and over again. In this media environment. It is what it is. Make sure you watch after the bell today. You will see former representative tom delay talking about his personal story of confronting an armed gunman in the capitol, Capitol Police officer who saved his life. Why that drove him to start carrying a gun. A blimp flying over the u. S. Open in wisconsin caught fire and it crashed just a short time ago. Our own liz claman is there.

Watch him here. When ottawas first taken with were advised by the past administration to take a low profile while they worked to be taken his release. The question is, do i think the past administration could have done more . I think the results speak for themselves. Trish weve just learned President Trump and his team demanded the north korea release this kid. Are we going to see more tough talk . What does this tell us about this administration and how it differs from president Barack Obamas administration . Joining me on set, fox news military analyst general jack keane. Good to have you back here. What is your reaction to this . Do you think this is demonstrating two different approaches to problems . Well i think so. This president has a more aggressive Foreign Policy for sure. He believes in asserting American Leadership in the world as we had done most of the time since world war ii, with the exception of president obama who pulled back. He had this ridiculous policy dealing with north korea and the father mentioned in his talk called strategic patience. Which translated means do nothing. This president has put the military option back on the table. He has got a Carrier Strike group sitting off the coast of north korea. He has flown bombers into south korea. He has put a missile system, Ballistic Missile system in south korea. He sent some loud messages to them that he is very different in his approach. So i think, i dont know if that is the ran why he is released. We can just speculate, but certainly i think the secretary of state was probably very aggressive here by comparison to the previous secretary of state and Previous Department which usually was hands off. Trish so you know, going in there and demanding the release very different than saying were going to be strategically patient and hope that the north koreans do the right thing of the we know that they really didnt seem to do the right thing at all by this kid. They were talking about 15 years in prison. He is in a coma. They are saying he suffered neurological damage. Do you think he was tortured there in north korea . Absolutely. Anybody they put in their jailhouse this is the most morally reprehensible regime in the planet. They kill their own leaders. They starve their own people. They take hostages routinely for political reasons. They torture them. They are brutal people. Trish let me turn to another news item, and that is general mattis and he is given this new authority what he needs to do in afghanistan by the president. Whats your reaction to that . I think we moved from obama the micromanager to trump the delegate tore. He has given mattis some authorities usually that military commanders certainly make recommendations on force levels. He is letting him actually make the decision. Listen from a practical matter, he will bring this to the president , the commanderinchief. He will show him what he wants to do and why he wants to do it. The president will give him a head nod. Well go forward with that. The reality i also think that inside of the trump team there is some disagreement on afghanistan. Maybe the president also has a little bit of reluctance about escalating the war. Trish maybe he does. Interesting stuff. Good to see you. Always good to see you, trish. Trish thanks, general. Well be right back. Test. Test. the internet loves what youre doing.
