appropriations process we don t get to the place where we have these kinds of emergency declarations and so forth. it s not the sexiest thing in the world. it s congress doing its job and stepping back from separation of powers time and time again. one last note because donald trump used to feel this way, very strongly, he, as a deal maker, would never have to rely on the executive overreach that president obama did. here was his tweet. republicans must not allow president obama to subvert the constitution of the u.s. for his own benefit and because is he unable to negotiate with congress. i just leave you on that note. is that the same guy that s president now? it actually is, we fact checked that. all right. thank you all. breaking news, a top u.s. general leading the war against isis in syria is publicly breaking with president trump. this is a major deal. you almost never hear an active duty commander splitting with the president in public.
it contradicted at nearly every turn. dan coats said the terror group isis remains a potent threat. remain it will continue we agree. we assess to stoke violence. isis is intent on resurging and still commands thousand of fighters in iraq and syria. zblfrm he also seemed to difr on north korea after they agreed there is no longer a nuclear threat coats said that s not quite the case. that reality coming weeks before the president is set to meet with kim jong un.
we have beaten them and beaten them badly. isis is intent on resurging and commands thousands of fighters in iraq and syria. we have a great chemistry. we are well on our way. it said we will begin the immediate denuclearization. north korea will seek to retain the wmd capabilities and is unlikely to come plopletely up nuclear production tape blts. they are continuing to adant their model. fwla what do you think of that? it reaffirms their strategy is not working with the rest of his team is a good way to
contradicted his own intelligence chiefs as they testified today to the senate about the threats, the major threats facing the united states. let s get more. phil mudd, you used to work at the cia. listen to what the president has said on some of the major threats and compare that to what we heard today from the intelligence chiefs. you have one agawon against . we have beaten them and beaten them badly. isis is intent on resurging. kim, we have a great chemistry. we re well on our way. we signed an agreement. it said we will begin the immediate denuclearization. north korea will seek to retain its wmd capabilities and it s unlikely to completely give up its nuclear weapons and production capabilities. i have president putin. he just said it s not russia. i will say this, i don t see any reason why it would be.
not only have the russians continued to do it in 2018, but we have seen indications that they are continuing to adapt their model. what s your reaction? this is pretty simple. when the president sees a story he doesn t like, he makes up a story. if he were an informant, we would call him a serial fabricator. you go through the election process and after the election, he says, russia interference could be a 400 pound guy in the basement. the intel guys say repeatedly, including after during the elections, it s the russians. you get off a plane from north korea and you say, we re safer. you don t have to be an intel guy to say, have they destroyed a single missile or a single ounce of nuclear material? the president goes on his first visit to iraq and takes the generals. he could get a brief every day. he has to go out to iraq to have somebody say, actually, we re not destroying every single isis member in syria.
