Officials here, Cabinet Secretaries and this is trumpian self had been talking about the rationale behind it, a set was aimed as a response to the Chemical Weapons attack, that it was a limited strike, a tactical one, it was proportional, they say, because it targeted the airbase that was connected to the strike, it was from where the aircraft launched the Weapons Attack, the Chemical Weapons attack, it did do a lot of damage at that race but they tried very hard not to kill anybody there, they want the russians who work with the Syrian Military before they struck, said it was very much aimed at warning the Syrian Regime not to carry out such attacks again and it wasnt opening a wider front, the Secretary Of State has said in the civil war, it wasnt opening up front in the war against bashar al asaad, it was connected to the attack itself. It was done quickly, so attack itself. It was done quickly, so the message that this would not be tolerated but it was also carefully planned to be
Business philosophies wholeheartedly personally because i dont know enough about them, but i will say this, a person with his background tends to favor stability, as do global markets. He understands how the global marketplace works. That necessarily make him a globalist . No. Seems like as Secretary Of State would be someone who leans much more toward peace and ultimate stability. Sandra interesting you say that where were seeing u. S. Stock market hit another record high as it is widely speculated another businessman one of his top picks for the administration. This is an odd choice. I would have preferred someone with more diplomatic and more Foreign Policy experience. It is difficult to unite two sides the Republican Party and marco rubio, rand paul, your favorite coming out having questions about this choice. If his ties so russia are commercial, thats fine. I have a problem with it. Ceo of Biggest Oil Company in the world. Russia was rich with natural resources. That is all well
Intelligence he suggestions. Thats the big argument. This has been such a contentious issue we saw the whole drama play out with the House Intelligence Committee and their Top Republican leader devin nunes came, saw the material. Out of the protocol of that committee and them adam schiff, came and looked at the same material. Theres answers about this coming from the white house first from the Deputy Press Secretary who says there was no attempt to keep adam schiff responsible. Not that im aware of at all. I think the bigger point is theres something there. Wed love to come see it which is exactly what we said. It turns out if theres something of substance for him to know about, we want him to
see it. Frarjly i think if there wasnt something of sub stns, he would have walked out that moment from the white house and come out and declared that this was a big waste of time and a big dog and pony show. He didnt do that. He doesnt do that. Its very telling in what he probably saw on friday.

The Treasury Department note d last month that there were north korea ben shipping companies that were attempting these ship to ship transfers likely of oil to evade u. N. Sanctions, but the president is on vacation here in maralago. He was on the golf course when the tweet was sent. Weve reached out to a number of of his aides at National Security counsel. Was there something new that set off the president . Some new piece of information he had confirmed . Did he know there was a new Transfer Attempt and we got no response ch its Worth Remembering that the president travel wg a very thin staff when he goes on vacations like this. So its possible that even his own staffers dont knowd the pr to send this tweet today. All right, thank you very much. With me now, the author of nuclear showdown, north korea takes on the world, gordon

Campaign. All as part of an effort to undermine that investigation. Hes pardononing people, perhaps sending a message to witnesses who might testify against him that they, too, could be pardoned. So stay strong. If an effort to prop up the dying Coal Industry his administration is reportedly weighing an unprecedented intervention in the u. S. Energy grid which would basically order some folks to get their lick trits from coal plants. He tipped off wall street this morning about confidential employment numbers more than an hour before they were officially released. Possibly to give himself some cover from last nights decision to slap steep tariffs on our closest allies in europe, canada, and mexico, renewing fears that he is leading us into a trade war. When given a chance to denounce a racist comment he instead attacks the press. He suggested one of his criminalityics should be fired for using offensive language
rod will not go any further and something is going to happen. I dont know
