smollett paid $3500 to stage this and drag chicago s reputation. he was dissatisfied about his salary. jussie smollett is fighting back. good morning to you. i hope the truth gets the same amount of attention as the hoax, end quote. let s see if that s the case. if smollett is going to mount a defense, which all signs indicate he will, what would his defense be, sir? you are already seeing some signs of it, bill, this morning. when defense attorneys don t have any facts, they go to process. they are trying to throw enough smoke up there to establish reasonable doubt in the minds of the perspective jurors. that s what this is all about. ed described this very well.
i support people doing more and we are doing less. it is in our national security interest to hold them together. the kurds, we owe it to them to make sure they are not slaughtered. iran is check mated with this move by president trump. bill: two more topics. what is your expectation for chairman kim in hanoi, vietnam? this is sort of a relationship being built. my expectations are to give up the weapons over time. he is better off without a nuclear arsenal. his weapons could fall in the hands of people that would use him if he would not. the president is right to want this transition from a nuclear to nonnuclear korea. japanese and south korea don t have nukes. they don t have nuclear weapons. my hope is that we will set a plan out where you can denuclearize and get the benefit of security and peace and stability in north korea. we won t have a nuclear threat. my question is, though, what
elijah cummings said they want to talk about the payments. it will be a little more limited in scope. that will be focused on the campaign. once you hand it over to the lawmakers, who knows. he is cleared to talk about certain things. you don t know what the questions are. he can t control them. heather: amongst some of those that said they are not going to stick to those parameters, because they think they should be expanded. it is open. you can ask anything you like. the issue is in this seven-day period as you were talking about, i think we are in for stormy waters. i don t see how the president responds. he is going to be in vietnam, a different time zone. it will be difficult. he will be watching to see what s said. you can t say as jim jordan did that it is somehow extra legal or beyond the bounds of the congress to have michael cohen
