picked up and to the point where a guy believes that there s human trafficking going on in a pizza place in washington, d.c. and he goes in and fires shots. really? fair to say you despise putin and you ve made that very clear. what did you think when you saw the president with bill o reilly when o reilly called putin a thug and a murderer and the president said, well, you think we re so innocent? killer. what o reilly said, it stands out in my memory he said he is a killer and the president said, well aren t we killers too. that was so appalling to me to have a moral equivalency between this fellow who is i don t know how many death dollas he s responsible for where he put down any opposition with great killing. there s several assassinations just last week. one guy was thrown out of a fourth-story window. so to state that there s some
and even during the anti-war rallies and and outbreaks during the early 70s nixon won by a massive landslide in 72, but that base disappeared on him over time and you have to be aware that have in the white house. you can t sit there complacently. david axelrod, the big question gets to donald trump s relationship and the president s relationship and russia and was there collusion during the campaign. you ll get a special that s airing on cnn. you sit down with senator john mccain and you asked him about the president s relationship with russia and comments he s made about vladimir putin. let s listen. what did you think when you saw the president with bill o reilly when o reilly called putin a thug and a murderer and the president said, well, you think we re so innocent? what o reilly sailed, it stands out in my memory. he said he is a killer, and the president said, well aren t we killers, too? that was so appalling to me to
something that s sucking up a lot of time in the media. yeah. but the bigger problem is incoherent strategy on other issues for the presidency. that may not have anything to do with russia. right, exactly. i think that there are a lot of strains as a result of that. you have a podcast. i do. a little-known podcast. i hope you can sense my sarcasm on that. it s hugely popular and it s going big time. it s going to be a special tomorrow night airing on cnn. and in this, you sit down with john mccain. and as you sit down with john mccain, one of the issues that comes up with russia. yes. just a preview for our viewers. here s a little clip. fair to say you despise putin, and you ve made that very clear. what did you think when you saw the president with bill o reilly, when o reilly called putin a thug and a murderer, and the president said, well, you think we re so innocent? killer. what o reilly said it stands out in my memory he said he is a killer, and the p

a change of schedule on the part of this president and other world leaders, perhaps an emergency meeting between world leaders or a phone call, conference call, a national address, sanctions, and international condemnation of vladimir putin? what would be holding at this point world leaders back from taking strong action? basically the lack of political unity in europe. some countries are more prepared to act than others. carl bilt, the foreign minister of sweden, has made an outstanding statement. prime minister cameron is now on the record in favor of meaningful sanctions. i think chancellor merkel is moving that way. i suspect president hollande will soon line up. the italians are a problem. but i think the european countries of some states, the big ones, the dedicated ones, should be willing to move on their own because we can create a movement that develops unity. if everybody waits for the last
