how this affects our sovereignty in the sense that it took place in waters which we understand are under spain s sovereignty last question but any and been able to create. the ship is registered under penalty flag and belongs to a singapore based company gibraltar says the vessel and its cargo have been confiscated. over nor now i m joined by michael friedman he is the co-founder and executive director of the media why news agency he has reported extensively from the middle east he joins me tonight from jerusalem michael it s good to have you back on the show i want to ask you what do we know about spain saying that the united states requested this seizure. that would actually expect exactly that to happen this is part i believe of the series of events that began with the sanctions with which began with the united
let me throw a penalty flag out here in what i ve seen in the past six hours or eight hours since the shooting. we have a phrase in the intelligence community, called rational active model. let me think about how i would think in this environment. what would motivate me to go into a newspaper and shoot somebody up? a lot of these cases you re talking about people who are emotionally disturbed. a fair number of cases in new york city, chicago, los angeles, in washington at the federal and state level and saying how do i understand the motive of somebody who is so emotionally disturbed that they themselves can t even articulate why they conduct an attack. my point is let s not assume that somebody in this state has a rational reason for doing this. it took us forever to even figure out the beginnings of why the las vegas shooter did this. let s not assume the reason for this shooting was rational in the way that we would think about it. of course, what s rational about what he did? but
united states. and quite interesting the majority of those active shooters took at least a week or longer to prepare before they actually engaged in their mass killings. the interesting thing with respect to this study was when they went out and reinterviewed or interviewed people that had associated themselves with the shooter most of the people if not all identified certain odd behaviorals. notwithstanding that none of them, or a majority of them did not bring it to the attention of law enforcement. i think it s going to be interesting in the coming days to see what interaction this individual had and why it is there was nothing done to intercept him before he actually did what he did today. between the time he had a lawsuit with the paper, he filed a defamation lawsuit in 2012 against the paper but that case was dismissed. but what happened in that time that caused him to go to these extremes? time out. let me throw a penalty flag out here in what i ve seen in the
around now. and that he s going to do whatever it takes to make june 12th in singapore some kind of success that can be marketed as a step forward. quick question to you. this issue of protections. can i play again what the president offered to kim jong-un today? we re willing to do a lot. and he s willing to, i think, do a lot also. i think we ll actually have a good relationship, assuming we have the meeting, assuming something comes of it. and he ll get protections that will be very strong. what s he talking about, phil, protections? regime security. will the family continue? one quick penalty flag. if they don t comply and the president says on the front end, we respect your government and we will allow you to continue in power, what happens when they don t comply? that s the problem here. big problem. all right, thank you both very much. next, what s a white house to do when it can t stop leaking? the trump white house cancels its daily communications meetings altogeth
one is continued accomplishment. they want him to get things done. not just to disrupt. the second is just to be normal. to have a normal presidency like the state of the union where it focuses on policies, ideas. the problem has gotten into is he is moving the ball down the field and then he commits an unnecessary roughness penalty with one of his tweets or he attacks somebody. all of a sudden , penalty flag comes in. more discipline. you were angry bursts. more policy and more accomplishments. he will probably be at a 50 percent job approval by midyear. paul: we will hold you to that prediction. when we come back, the president offering an open hand to democrats in his state of the union speech and calling for a compromise on immigration. can the two sides make a deal ahead of next month s deadline?
