This is the movie of comic books, like hes playing a president. Hes doing this thing, which hes talking away action heroes talk, not the way president s talk with the power of life and death in their hands. Weve turned to the north koreans and kim jongun, if he takes a provocative measure, if he fires on guam, i think were going to take Military Action. Im almost sure the president cant retreat from this position. Once military blows are exchanged, i think the chance of going to allout conventional war are significant. He still doesnt have a usable nuclear capability. I dont think were going to go there. But i do think the president is saying hes prepared to go to nuclear conflict. One of the more chilling moments on this network today. And with that, lets bring in our leadoff friday night panel. Welcome to all. Matthew, can you walk us through the evolution of Donald Trumps language of this week . First of all, we note that we can only hope the expression Locked And Loaded translates
Rule out military action in venezue venezuela. But we digress. There was a lot more verbiage today on north korea, the main topic, including an apparently new threshold for what would be the u. S. Into the fight. Though its not clear the president is speaking for anyone but the president on this. As members of his team continue to talk about other options. What have you been able to do to reassure south korea given the recent tensions rising . I think as far as reassurance, they probably feel as reassured as they can feel. Certainly they feel more reassured with me than other president s from the past. It is a very bad situation. Sit a very dangerous situation. And it will not continue, that i can tell you. Hopefully it will all work out, okay . Nobody loves a peaceful solution better than President Trump. Lots of good things could happen, and we could also have a bad solution. But we think lots of good things could happen. What would be a bad solution, sir . I think you know the answe

Lots of good things could happen, and we could also have a bad solution. But we think lots of good things could happen. What would be a bad solution, sir . I think you know the answer to that. When you say bad solution, are you talking about war . Is the u. S. Going to war . I think you know the answer to that. Have you spoken to the governor of guam . I have not. But they will be very safe. Believe me, they will be very safe. If anything happens to guam, theres going to be big, big trouble in north korea. Have you ordered any change in our military readiness . I dont want to say. I dont talk about that. You know that. One
Jersey and drove to Lower Manhattan. Thats where he entered a bike path just as high school was letting out for the day. On a sunny halloween afternoon. He drove at least ten blocks south, mowing down pedestrians before finally slamming into a school bus on chamber street, not far from the world trade center. The man got out of the truck.

I feel very badly, john. I will say this. Hillary clinton lied many times to the fbi. Nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and they destroyed his life. I think its a shame. Hillary clinton on the 4th of july weekend went to the fbi, not under oath, it was the most incredible thing anyones ever seen. She lied many times. Nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and its like they ruined his life. Its very unfair. That came after a weekend of controversy for the president because he was so boisterous and verbose over twitter, including what read to a lot of people like an accidental confirmation of obstruction of justice. Quote, i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the vicepresident and the fbi. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide. Thats a problem for the president on a number of levels, but the very next day the white house told the press that tweet was dictated by the president s lawyer, j
