we got this response from the justice department a short time ago this evening and i ll read it in full. the department of justice appointed a special counsel to assume responsibility for this matter. we will allow him to do his job. it is unfortunate that anonymous sources whose credibility will never face public scrutiny are continuously trying to hinder that process by pedalling false stories to the mainstream media. facts haven t changed. then-senator did not have any private or side conversations with anyone russian officials at the mayflower hotel. that s the end of the statement, but of course, as we were reporting, don, not entire sli satisfying to the hill and fbi who are still looking into this. if true, jim, this would not be the first time sessions failed to disclose a meeting with the russian ambassador, right? that s exactly right. during his confirmation hearing on january 10th, sessions testified he, did not have any communications with the russians, during the
very important services that planned parent hood provides across our country. how significant is this that hillary clinton has come out and said this? i think it is extremely significant that a democratic presidential candidate was willing to come forward and defend planned parent hood. especially considering the inflammatory nature of the videos. i think democrats have been a little bit hesitant to say anything about the videos, mainly because there s been a congressional investigation launched and all the facts haven t completely come out and supposedly there s more videos coming out. and i think they re afraid of saying something and having it turn out that planned parent hood was doing something illegal. but hillary clinton is sticking her neck out for planned parent hood saying this is an organization that provides std treatment and testing and all kinds of thing that have nothing to do with abortion and let s not lose the forest for the trees here. we are attacking a massive
will be reversed. given the environment that i think we re going to face in the middle east we don t have a strategy at all. we re basically playing this day to day. so doug, that second part was former secretary of defense robert gates on morning joe and i played that after because it s pretty much the exact opposite of what we re hearing from the administration that we have no strategy at all when it comes to the middle east. very different tunes here. where do you fall in that spectrum? we could have no strategy for the middle east and still have a plan to get isil out of iraq. that s effectively where we are. i know secretary kerry, this sounds kind of like saying our team is still great after the quarterback threw the interception that they ran back for a touchdown. i tried to do a tennis metaphor but couldn t make it happen. you re trying to keep the brave face up but the fundamental facts haven t changed. i assured you last time on the show we re going to win in
campus as they have again this week. same old stuff, media trucks trying to get a story. no depth, ten stitch, a little blood. and a little blood goes a long way. so the pictures may be exaggerated, but the guy probably got hurt for sure. uva student nick christian sees the media rushing to judgment. facts haven t come out yet. so i think this is a bit premature. i understand the offense but i think the facts should drive the media coverage rather than speculations that have come out based on other national reasons about sgrp thereasons. the man that could answer those questions made a brief appearance with his attorney. i m shocked that my face was slammed in to the brick payment just across the street from where i attend school. three officers then pinned me to the ground, pressing their knees in my back while blood flowed freely from the gash to my head.
there in afghanistan. two major problems remain, corruption within the karzai government and the sanctuary provided by the, by the pakistanis and the isi, actually working with haqqani network who is killing americans. bill: a lot of those facts haven t changed frankly over the years and you heard the what the president said earlier in the week, the drawdown schedule, they will stick with the tile line over the next two years and that is not going to change either. there is another hot topic out there and you ve been one of the most vocal members of congress talking about syria. you released a long statement just yesterday. in part you said this, the situation in syria has become an unfair and uneven conflict with iran and russia fueling assad s slaughter. how many more must die before we act? apparent the decision has been made to stay away in military sense and at the moment in a humanitarian sense as well. how much of a mistake is that, do you believe?
