Kim jongun is trying to challenge him. North korea is the problem. The problem will be taken care of. Were an administration wanting to show a message that theres a new sheriff in town. We dont know, you know, whether were making maximum effort to settle this peacefully or not. We will not relent in our mission to destroy isis in 2017. We have given them total authorization and thats what they are doing. That does send a message around the world that americas back. The Trump Administration says they will not release the names of people who visit the white house. Why . What is the big secret . We dont want to go and scare people from being able to come into the white house. Its total bs. Well, youve made it to saturday. Im christi paul. And im victor blackwell. North korea is putting the world on notice. For the first time showing off what could be the powerful longrange missiles and as the regime prepares for another nuclear test, tensions are flaring on the peninsula. Kim jongun was o
Tone for the content of this new issue of Foreign Affairs. Theres a detailed look at the initial behavior of this new president on Foreign Affairs. And how, if that behavior continues, that could lead directly to three brandnew separate wars with three different countries. Theres also long piece about why the experts believe you probably dont have to worry about an immediate descent into fullon fascism any time soon but, yeah, we are maybe sliding into what the experts may call a competitive authoritarianism. The editor of Foreign Affairs is gideon rose. He opens this hairraising collection today with this question. Its more of a game than a question. The game is, stupid or nefarious . Every administration spins, fights with the press and the bureaucracy, pushes its own agenda and tries to evade intrusive oversight. But ordinary white houses do not repeatedly lie, or declare war on Mainstream Media institutions or pursue radical goals while disdaining professional input, nor do they re
Seat in congress. One of thest real competitive elections in 2017. Polls close in less than two hours. Georgia is on our mind, but also on President Trumps mind. In the past 48 hour, the president tweeted about the race five times including in the last 30 minutes. He also recorded a robo call slamming the leading democratic candidate. Only you can stop the super liberal democrats and Nancy Pelosis group and in particular, jon ossoff. If you dont vote tomorrow, he will raise your taxes, destroy your health care, and flood our country with illegal immigrants. The president s late interest may be a doubleedged sword for the tweets and the robo call is aimed at driving up republican turn out, but it may turn the race into a revereferendum on t white house. Democratic ads for the frontrunner in the district tried to frame the race just this way. I approved this message because i will work with anyone to do what is right for the country. We cant let donald trump put us at risk. He will be jo
Lets start with you, why now . Well, clearly the public pressure on fox news had reached a certain point and key point of this also is not only an outside investigation by the same law firm brought in to investigate roger ales, they are going to disclose the investigation tomoow at the bod meeting but also you have to consider the advertiser pressure, they might get high ratings but without advertisers, its empty calories and cant make money for the network. The viewer ship was certainly up, did fox news not have a hope they would be able to ride this out . They didnt have any hope. What they were afraid of and seeing was there would be more complaints. Yesterday lisa bloom filed another complaint anonymously and people at fox and 21st century fox felt this was this was going to be a success and never get past publicity given how poisoned the well has been about oreilly. They saw no way out. These are not new allegations. Theyve been ongoing. There was a very public lawsuit in which th
Election for congress in georgia. 18 names on the ballot you be its the democrat jon ossoff who is hoping to get more than 50 of the vote, pulling off an upset in this race. Its been tight all night. Right now hes leading with 50. 3 of the vote. 32 points out in front of his nearest competitor. The seat is open because its previous occupant, what was once Newt Gingrichs seat, tom price is now the Trump Administration. The president p jumped into the fray first by recording robocalls to local voters. Then at 6 38 this morning on twitter democrat jon ossoff would be a disaster in congress, very weak on crime and illegal agree bad for jobs. Say no. 18 minutes later he was back at it. Republicans must get out today and vote in georgia 6, force run off, an easy win. Democrat ossoff will raise your taxes.
