About the nation. America has a long history of systemic racism. Black americans and black men in particular have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human. We cant stop here. We can and we must do more to reduce the likelihood of tragedies like this will ever occur again and this takes acknowledging and confronting head on systemic racism and the Racial Disparities that have existed in policing and our criminal Justice System more broadly. Thats the big lie, systemic racism. Did joe biden always believed the nation was racist to its core . Did he believe this when barack obama and he were elected not once but twice in a historic election . Did that do nothing to remove this stain on our nation . What about the 1965 Civil Rights Act . Does joe biden really believe he presides over a country where Law Enforcement is essentially a racist killing machine . Who knows . Even if hes not the one making the calls on this he is mouthing the words . But do not think fo
This went way beyond that. As oreilly drills down on the president s ability and his willingness to do this job and listen as secretary panetta tells the nation the real questions he thinks we ought to be asking. Have you ever heard barack obama in your conversations with him as cia chief and defense secretary say, i was wrong, i made a mistake . I heard him admit to mistakes. The real question is whether or not you learn from those lessons and then do the right thing. Obviously, in your book you dont think hes learned from the lesson. Im seeing a president , all right, from your eyes, former cia chief, former defense secretary, who is either incapable or doesnt understand the dangers that the United States faces. Thats the message im getting from you. I think this president is smart enough to understand the dangers. The real question is can he translate that into the kind of action that will help protect this country. Would i be wrong and a mean guy to say i dont believe barack obama

Of the United States, a president who has spent most of the 169 days of his presidency so far under the specter of the russian role in the 2016 election sitting down with russian president Vladimir Putin. The meeting was scheduled 30 minutes and lasted more than two hours. In front of the cameras President Trump sounded upbeat. We look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for russia, for the United States, and for everybody concerned. And its an honor to be with you. Thank you. Thank you. For days, the headlines were all about the fact that the meeting was going to happen. Now that its over, the headlines are all about the conflicting accounts of what was said in the meeting. Rex tillerson, the only u. S. Cabinet official in the meeting, said that President Trump pushed putin on russias election hacks. While sergei lavrov, putins foreign minister, told reporters a very different story. The president opened the meeting with president putin by raising the concerns of the Am
A matter of whether president came in and said i dont believe you and we have to stop it from Going Forward. How surprising is it to you given your experience with russia, your experience in the Intelligence Community that the american president and the american secretary of state seemingly have not pushed this issue as hard as i as an american citizen think that should be pushed. Well, lets talk from an intelligence perspective. President trump viewed any questioning of the elections, the hacking, all of this information as a referendum on his election and he will not hear from anyone that will say anything to the contrary. The entire u. S. Intelligence community discounts it to the point where he insults it to our allies overseas. So to a certain extent as a citizen you have to make a determination of who is more trustworthy here. Is it going to be your intelligence agencies that keep you safe in your beds day and night or someone who is known to go up and this just put the secretary
