languishes in a thai prison, cnn has managed to reach out to her and she s told us she s got 18 hours of audiotapes or files that she said may be of interest to the mueller investigation. also a photograph on her telephone which she hasn t given us yet of an unnamed american businessman according to her. so nothing substantial but this case is raising a lot of interest here in russia and, you know, it s certainly worth keeping an eye on what else this woman is going to reveal, fredricka. it s all very fascinating. just adds to the many layers of curiosities. thank you, matthew chance, appreciate it, in moscow. all right, still to come, let s talk about movies and the oscars kicking off tomorrow night. the real drama could take place before the show. we ll explain next. i need my blood sugar to stay in control. i need to cut my a1c.
general kelly, at one point, when he was sort of trotted out to the white house podium, he, i think he was attacking a congresswoman for a statement she made and one of the things he said is, back in my day, women were respected and obviously, be interesting to know if at that point, he already knew about the allegations. well, that s a good point. that s a good question. i do think, kirsten, you re exactly right, that it s a cultural thing, but it s something else. it is that you have to remember what this white house is like and what it has been like. and john kelly found, he thought, in rob porter, somebody he could rely on, somebody who could do all the very, you know, important tasks of a staff secretary, which was his actual title, but also take on a really elevated role, which rob porter has done in the last couple of months. acting almost as a deputy chief of staff, representing kelly, when kelly isn t there. he did so in davos, in a really unusual high profile way for a staf
general kelly is running the staff and, it sounds like he s doing working along side with general mcmaster as sort of a de facto national security adviser? he is. and i think what was revealed by that news conference as well is that as much as he does not have an ideology, people say general kelly isn t really political, he does have certain values and an old school perspective, to say the least on american culture. that has bonded him with the president and also made him far less likely to leave this white house. he has he is not someone dieing to step outside of the gates and get out of there. but he actually believes the president in many respects is under siege and on foreign policy, he can be a steady hand. on the domestic front, he s there to be an ally. harold, again, this general
that is absolutely remarkable. i have to tell my kids i am a rock star now. heather: and x candidate sent a tweet targeting her military background, kelly isn t just an enabler of trump but a believer in him making him what is that? as odious as the rest. don t get distracted by the uniform. rob: general kelly defending donald trump for making that phone call despite his recommendation not to. oliver north getting emotional as he shed light on the heart-wrenching phone call families receive and shaming the congresswoman for ruining the personal and private calls the president made. i was asked to testify. so one of the questions that was
was super personal for him because is he a gold star father, lost his son robert in afghanistan. and has another son in the service as well. brian: his fifth tour. fifth tour, of course. when general kelly spoke, you know, he spoke in such a way that he took most of us who had never heard about that sad journey that the young men and women that we lose take on their way home. they are thrown on ice and what happens to them. that was so powerful what he said should be the last word that anyone says about this issue. that woman, that congresswoman, whenever her name is wears a hat is a bozo. stop it end it. this is about men and women who die and not about politics, period. brian: here is what brian fallon tweeted out who failed miserably when it came to getting hillary clinton elected. kelly isn t just an nationalleenablerof trump, is hn him. that makes him as odious as
