senior lecture live in london at this hour. leslie, always a pleasure to have you on the show. let s start with the president s comments regarding the london attack. you heard him in the piece quick words radical islamic terror. keep in mind. we still don t know all of the facts yesterday. that s what investigators are saying they don t know all of the facts to release publicly yet. but we know when the facts were clear back in august after the charlottesville protest, a woman killed and after white supremacist, he was not so quick to use the term. and also had this to say about facts. it was very important for me to get the facts out and correctly. i couldn t have made it sooner because i didn t know all of the facts. it takes a little while to get the facts. i want to know the facts. i wanted to see the facts. before i make a statement, i
