does not believe russia attacked the united states in the 2016 election despite the intelligence community s conclusions, despite all the briefings that he s had about it and all of the notes and the briefing books that have been written about it. that is a huge problem. it is a huge problem, and of course the reason is that if he were to accept it or agree with it, embrace it, well, that casts doubt on the legitimacy of his election because, you know, it was acknowledging he got help from russia, which he did. can we talk about this mike pompeo angle here and michael mckinley testified that he raised the idea of sending a statement of support for yovanovitch three separate times with pompeo. pompeo denied that to abc, but mckinley ended up resigning. which one of them do you think is telling the truth? well, i know ambassador mckinley, who is a distinguished foreign service officer. he s served as an ambassador in several different posts, notably and when i interacted with him
tension with iran and the potential for any kind of talks going forward, between the united states and iran the ongoing issues between the united states and north korea. again another issue of potential talks between the president and kim jong-un and then another major national security issue that will be coming again in the coming weeks is potential talks with the taliban when you look at it from that perspective, he is actually poised based on his background to deal with those three issues. kelly o donnell, what itself the word from the white house when it comes to their decision making on iran i know more sanctions that the president would like, is there talk behind the scenes of any sort of strike reporter: there certainly have been meetings and options made available to the president and he used a word you don t often hear in these circles, dastardly, certainly, i m sure courty could run that down at the pentagon it s probably not in many briefing books but the president sayin
conspiracy exists without any proof and with the intention of hiding any potential blow back on his own possible actions. today the president defended his new conspiracy mongering by falling back on one of the lamest excuses he used time and time again. i want to quickly give you the back story you probably know shortly after pedophile jeffrey epstein was found dead a comedian that doesn t have upcoming dates but does sell t-shirts and ring tones sent a tweet suggesting the clintons were somehow involved in the death of jeffrey epstein. no evidence. no facts. just this guy tweeting it out. now, if you were the most powerful person in the world and had briefing books to read and decisions to think about and grieving families of victims of gun violence to call and console or even i don t know, a wife and young child to maybe spend a little time with, what would you do when you read that tweet? i mean, you might read it and if you were, even on twitter, that s to say and then you would

and so i want you to listen here a little bit. when candidates in the days before a debate, you hear their briefing books. they start talking to reporters and start saying things, you get a sense of what they are preparing for. cory booker saw that. he is struggling in the polls. he wants to get into into the same ground. listen to him saying mr. mayor in come at me, be ready. cory knows it s not true. if you look at the mayor s record in nuclear, his police department was docking mostly african-american men. if he wants to go back and talk about records, i m happy to do that. a warning shot back. if you want to go there, i have my talking points, too. number one, the distance. number two, the energy. his heart did not seem in that. heart is very important. you made the point, joe biden
