Forgiven him. As a christian, i have to forgive him also. Announcer this is new day weekend with victor black well and christi paul. We start with a violent protest. It is happening in manila as President Trump arrives in the philippines and antitrump slogans and setting American Flags on fire. Air force one landed a few moments ago here and soon President Trump starts the last leg of his summit tour at a summit with asian leaders. He attacked kim jongun and form youre u. S. Intelligence officials and refuses to say definitively whether he believes russia interfered in the 2016 election. A lot has happened in the last few hours so lets get straight to jeff who is live in vietnam. The president has been on script
ive worked with them very stronger. There werent 17 as previously was reported. There were actually four but they were saying there were 17, there were actually four. But as currently led by fine people, i believe very much in our Intelligence Agencies. Reporter so the presiden
i ve worked with them very stronger. there weren t 17 as previously was reported. there were actually four but they were saying there were 17, there were actually four. but as currently led by fine people, i believe very much in our intelligence agencies. reporter: so the president talking about intelligence agencies. well, one of the reasons he was doing that yesterday when he was flying across vietnam, he talked to reporters aboard air force one and he was talking about political hacks. talking about the people who led those agencies in the last administration. that prompted the cia to raeleae a statement saying the current director believes in that assess many that russia, in fact, meddled in the election. all of this has prompted a lot of views from the outside. john mccain first and foremost, he weighed in on the comments that the president was talking about a russia. he said this. let s take a look. he said, vladimir putin does not have america s interest at
heart. to believe otherwise is not only naive, but also places our national security at risk. of course, this was in response to the president saying that vladimir putin is sincere when he believes that russia did not meddle. this is interesting this continued back and forth between senator mccain and the president that it s happening in hanoi, vietnam, where john mccain was shot down and a prisoner of war for more than five years in the late 60s and early 70s. of course, president trump left hanoi without visiting the site of the prison where john mccain was at. as many american presidents have done over the years. it is, of course, veterans day so significant that the president did not visit that. he and john mccain, no love lost. you ll recall during the presidential campaign, mr. trump even, at one point, said john mccain was, in fact, not an american hero because heroes aren t captured. before you go, jeff, there was also the tweet that came out from the president about north
very different from the scripted remarks during his time in vietnam. let s talk about that tweet. reporter: the president has been urged by his advisers and largely followed sued suit by not going after kim jong-un mostly for his time in asia but that changed overnight again. let s take a look at this tweet, of course, on twitter. he says this. of course, strange words there, but the president asked at the press conference if he thinks that could happen to be friends and he said, look, stranger things have happened. he believes a good thing for the world for them to be friends, but a long way from rocket man that the president referred to him as just a couple of months ago. but i can tell you before we sign off from here on this hour, i visited that prison today where john mccain was and seeing those images of him and pictures
i m supporter of donald trump and want to see him succeed and could make this go away if he just said this happened. didn t influence the election, sanctions should stand. move on. there are a couple of things wrong with that. first is that kayleigh and lak jack have vy tried to diminish this to partisan fight and it s not. john mccain first, and it s disrespectful for anyone else so say that the people who are part of the intelligence community are playing politics. you re putting words in my mouth, i said democrats are not intelligence officials. different things. third thing that s incorrect, you can t dismiss this saying i agree they hacked with dnc, yes may not have hacked specific machines in the country but they engaged in propaganda like they
