Confrontational bellicose rhetoric towards the north for the second half of his speech. And the president now preceding his way out of the chamber. That does it for us tonight. We will see you again tomorrow. This has been a remarkable night of news. And i have to tell you, msnbcs live coverage continues late into this evening as we continue to follow the response to the president s remarks.

Advertisement for one of his golf courses, selfenriching against all of the previous principles of the presidency, right there in that speech along with several other things. Yeah, so this is the speech in the south Korea National assembly, certainly aimed at north korea for the second half of his speech. But in the first half of his speech, he kind of read a complimentary encyclopedia page about the accomplishments of south korea, which im sure was designed to have him warmly received by his hosts. The president was very stiff for the first half of his speech. The turning point came when he did start to talk about golf. I will give the president credit for appearing to be slightly selfconscious about the fact that he was about to start bragging about his golf course. He at least said, you know what im about to say, and he bragged about his new jersey golf club. He bragged about korean golfers doing well at a Golf Tournament he hosted recently. He did appear to be somewhat selfconsciou

Cnn about Administration Officials believe that the way the special counsels regulations are written yes. That it may protect the president if hes not charged if hes not charged for a crime for any negative information about him being released to the public. So we may never know. I disagree. Youre right about what youre positing, that we may never know the details in the form of the special counsels report released that way. I agree. I do not agree that the regs demand that. I think there is a measure of discretion. I think the bigger hurdle or actually the doj customary guidelines of if theres no indictment you dont release derogatory information about someone who is unindicted, but this is not a normal prosecution. There is provision in this special counsel provisions in the regs for there to be a special dispensation and for it to be released. Let me read it before you go on. Administration officials including at the white house who studied the regulations or regs as you say, told c
The Virginia Governor, Democrat Ralph Northam is ignoring calls for his resignation by fellow democrats from the top to the bottom of his party. Demands that only intensified after the governor bizarrely changed his explanation about that racist photo from his 1984 medical School Yearbook page. Now northam insists hes not in the photo which depicts someone in blackface next to a person dressed in ku klux klan robes. I finally had a chance to sit down and look at the photograph in detail. It is definitely not me. I can tell by looking at it. That was a total contradiction of what northam admitted hours before when he said he was deeply sorry for the decision i made to appear as i did in this photo, unquote. Northam did reveal yesterday his vivid memory of wearing blackface on a different occasion that year at a dance contest where he dressed as Michael Jackson and colored his face with shoe polish. Marking the first time in american political history that a politician attempted to expla
