Thing. Were going to start tonight in july of last year, this past july, summer, 2016. On a day when we as a nation were very distracted. We had our own mess to think about, we had our own politics to focus on, we were really not noticing anything else going on in the world. July 21 last year, that was the day that the man who is now our new president gave his big speech at the Republican Convention. Thats the night he accepted the nomination of the Republican Party to be their president ial candidate. That day, leading up to the speech the big news, the big distractg news all day long is what had happened the night before at the Republican Convention. We were very distracted. This was a very distracting thing because senator ted cruz of texas just the night before had given his speech at the Republican Convention and he had been all but run out of the r m room, screamed at, booed at for refusing to explicitly endorse donald trump in his speech at that convention. So thats what was goi
But he came to the u. S. At age 17. He he became an adult the following year so from 1959 the more or less worldly teenage king of iraq. He assumed his position as the ruler of his country. It didnt last. He was only 23 years old when a coup was launched against him in july 1958. In that coup he was murdered along with much of his family. In 1958 the monarchy was taken over. You know what, that didnt last either. About five years after they killed the king and the military took over, the military was overthrown as well. Or at least the faction of them that had been in charge. By then it was 1963, february 1963 and the group that took over iraq then and ruled it for 40 years thereafter, that was the baath party. We think of Saddam Hussein as the personification of the baath party. He, in fact, took over iraq in 1979. He ruled iraq in the name of the baath party for more than two decades but the baath party itself, they took over iraq all the way back in 1963. Which was basically the exa
That as michael flynn, the investigation, heats up. The pentagon warn eed general flynn in 2014 about accepting payments. Now the department of defense is investigating. A top democrat on the House Oversight committee charges the white house is covering up for flynn. Lets get right to jason miller, david rhodes, julia kaianne, and colonel laden. Listen first. Well, theres a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with north korea. Absolutely. So colonel, how do you interpret what the president is saying there . Is he talking about u. S. Military engagement . Well, i think he is, don, but the issue here is, you know, what kind of a message is he trying to send. And i am somewhat puzzled that he would phrase it in that way because the minute that he talks about this possibility, the likelihood of it happening could potential increase. Thats something that he wants to avoid. I dont think that was his intent, but the fact that he talked about it as if he is a dispassiona
Bolderly teenage king of iraq, he assumed his position as the rural of his country. It didnt last. He was only 23 years old when a coup was launched against him in july 1958. In that coup, he was murdered along with much of his family. July 1958. The monarchy was deposed. Nationalists took over, they overthrew the iraqi monarchy. That didnt last either. Act favors after they killed the king and the military took over, the military was overthrown as well or at least the faction of them that had been in charge. By then it was 1963, february 1963. Disproportionate group that took over iraq then and ruled it for 40 years thereafter, that was the bath party. We think of Saddam Hussein is the patternification of the bath paurt. He took over iraq in 1979. The bath party itself, they took over iraq all the way back in 1963, which was basically the exact same time that the bath party also took over next door in syria. The batharty mounted their coup in baghdad by the 8th of march 1963, one mont

Rallying the base with red meat. This morning fresh perspective on the freewheeling cpac speech of President Trump and what solutions are really possible after the parkland massacre. This morning students speak out. Plus whats the holdup . New reporting that says substantial issues are delaying the security clearance for white house adviser Jared Kushner. But we begin with the two big stories were following out of the white house this morning. A new report from the Washington Post suggesting the white houses problems with security clearances, particularly for one of the president s chief advisers, is far from over.
