the ravenite social club you can google that and the president s victory, which was absolutely a remarkable achievement, no doubt of about it, it was not of historic proportions, compared to oether. in that said, the president calls attention to who s responsible for all of these guys being round. the president appointed jeff sessions. the president appointed rod rosenstein who in turn named robert mueller as special counsel. these aren t random individuals. as for mueller, a lifelong republican, the president said this. i know that he s conflicted and i know that his best friend is comey, who s a bad cop. and i know that there are other things, obviously, you know, i had a business transaction with him that i ve reported many times, that you people don t talk about. but i had a nasty business transaction with him and other things. i know that he put 13 highly conflicted and, you know, very
mccain. and i m not condoning that. right, but it s not just a bunch of tv reporters. there are many people who are decent people and it s not about politics. it s just about, like, basic human decency. what i m trying to say is that there are a group of americans that were so upset with the establishment and the elites and i understand. and the people they see as in control and they wanted a candidate that would make them angry and offend them, because that makes them feel better that someone s actually listening to them. so think about this when john mccain ran for president, people like me wanted him to run on his war hero record and we defended him. and there were people in the media that said, you know what, he s a little unhinged, because he was running against barack obama. now reporters are coming to his side and saying he s the greatest war hero ever. and so a lot of conservatives watch that and go, what a load of bunk. this is just because he s attacking presi
been disparaging competitors of boeing and so it s raised some ethical issues whether or not shanahan somehow was pushing the pentagon to purchase boeing products and now the inspector general feels there s enough information here, they received enough complaints where they have decided they re going to launch an investigation. shanahan has said that he s cooperating and he welcomes the investigation. there are certain measures in place at the pentagon to make sure there is no conflict, but nonetheless, the inspector general says there s enough here, so swoowe re going to investigate now. shimon, thanks very much. lot to look for. still also a great deal to get to tonight. president trump weighing in again on the mueller investigation. plus going after his way to go after john mccain with a truly surprising way today. talking about his funeral and why the president should be thanked for it. we ll be right back. engineers put a man on the moon with technology less powerful than any
donald trump presidency because, oh, by the way, there s also a crisis in venezuela that he has to deal with? often you don t know if something is a turning point until it s happened but the president s challenge is that he wants whatever happens in hanoi to distract from what mr. cohen will say. one of the things that happened in the watergate period was that the american people heard testimony for months about the misconduct of the nixon administration well before the impeachment process began. i m not suggesting that an impeachment process will begin in this case but what the public has heard is learned either from the media or mueller s indictments. we re about to get the mueller report. it s a good time for the american people to learn more about the nature of the trump organization and the president s campaign and then sort it out themselves, but this will increase, i think, the amount of public information. at the same time, the president
has to be careful not to rush some kind of symbolic agreement with the north koreans in order just to distract from his political problems at home. in 1998, bill clinton was attacked, i believe wrongly, for wagging the dog. for trying to distract from the monica lewinsky case by going after bin laden. he was absolutely right to, people just didn t understand what a threat he was. they felt he was using it fo distract. they were wrong in 98 but they could be right in 2019. maybe not this week, but the week after, the mueller report is supposed to be out. we will subpoena the report. we will bring bob mueller in to testify before congress. we ll take it to court if necessary. in the end, i think the department understands they ll have to make this public. i think barr will ultimately
