A recap of the days news. Would do. Right . Instead this white house put on a display today in the briefing room. A display intended to send a message to the American People. That message is to convince you that this administration actually takes russias attacks on our democracy seriously. So they trot it out one top official after another. Every one of them pointing the finger at russia, which is all well and good, but obviously there is one person missing. Want to guess who it is . President donald j. Trump who no matter what the members of his own administration say just cant seem to bring himself to blame russia for anything without walking it back in the same breath. Lets compare the director of national intelligence, what he said today to what President Trump said after that disastrous helsinki summit. Here it is. The Intelligence Community continues to be concerned about the threats of upcoming u. S. Elections. Both the midterms and the president ial elections of 2020. Dont. Wha
Quick answer of being prolife. Thank you for watching. Cnn tonight with don lemon starts right now. There he is again. Great words right there. I think thats what i said before the break, right . You said it plays right into that. I have to tell you i was atten event this weekend with a friend who happens to be white. She turned to me and said do you ever does it do you notice or are you aware, does it make you uncomfortable that youre, like, one maybe the only person of color in the room . And i just people have asked me that before, and i said im not uncomfortable about it. I am aware of it, but it happens all the time. And she said well, i wasnt aware of it until i was invited to a Birthday Party where everyone was a person of color. Everyone was black and i was the only white person, and i said is this what its like. She said is this what its like for my friends of color all the time who even in most places yu go, restaurants, everywhere you
country as we were growing up. And thats
President , correct . Its appropriate for the Justice Department and the Prosecutor General to cooperate and to exchange information, yes. But to the extent that the president has concerns and to the extent that the Attorney General is having u. S. Attorney durham look into it, isnt it entirely appropriate for the president to flag this for president zelensky and say that you should be in touch with our official channels . Mr. Castor, i dont know the precise appropriateness of these kind of relations. Now, were you involved, either of you involved with the preparation for the 7 25 call . I was not. I was not. And how do you account for that . I mean, you were the two of the key officials with responsibility for ukrainian policy. If the president of the United States is going to have a call with the leader of the ukraine, why wouldnt
you ordinarily be involved with preparation . Sir, we work for the Department Of State in an embassy overseas and in preparation for a president ial phone
Organization and we have to do Everything Possible to destroy them. You cannot negotiate with them. You cannot take any kind of conciliation. These are animals. They have to be killed and destroyed. And quite frankly, i dont think the president has shown yet that he really has the heart to go forward. Its always like one step forward and one step sideways. Im pretty old fashioned. I want to support the president as commander and chief. So far he has not shown me that he is fully committed to this. All right. What we are hearing the strategy is to arm the Syrian Rebels in syria but the problem with that is, is that as they arm them against isis, but if they are successful, arent we helping president assad of syria and he is a guy who gases his people. So what are we going to do . Well, of the two i think the more serious threat right now is isis. Having said that i saw questions about arming the presyrian army now. This would have been more successful two or three years ago. If were ser
Appropriate way forward. I believe that will prove true. But if it fails to be true and if there are threats to the United States, then i of course would go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of u. S. Military ground forces. If the objective were to destroy isis, not to degrade them but to destroy them within 90 days, what would be required militarily to carry that out . Its not possible, senator. Truly, there is no military solution to isil. Is it fair to say that most syrians have two things in common, they dont like isil and they dont like assad. Most syrians . I agree. Is it fair to say that most muslims reject what isil does in the name of their religion . Yes. Is it fair to say that if we dont contain this threat and eventually destroy it, that it gets worse over time and a year from now, if theyre still flourishing in syria and this coalition hadnt come about, america is in danger more in danger of a major attack than we are today . Yes. And
