or female, we must stand together. this country belongs to all of us. from a trump perspective, they would say sour grapes. it is interesting listening to and mike pen hce has been out speaking on the president s behalf. but it is interesting how the president s critics are looking for big high profile platforms to make this case. hillary attacked him at the speech last week. college students are young. people voted for hillary. i think it s ail also natural tu have these liberals and attacking trump and getting loud cheers. mike pence goes and gets booed and they walk out. i mean, i want to applaud the students of brooklyn college and the people who brought him in to speak for thinking outside the box, pushing the envelope with
as well from the united states, but that s why for so many years all sorts of presidents or different administrations strategic thinkers elsewhere have always taken a carefully calibrated diplomatic track with the north koreans because so much is at stake and with this current administration, we re seeing a slight changing of the script with its very overt declarations of unilateral threats. ali, quickly, what is the administration expect vice president mike pence to accomplish in his visit? reporter: well i think that the balancing act for the vice president will be maintaining that the united states can be aggressive if need be, but also trying to take a more conciliatory tone as well trying to be there as a little bit of a bridge between the tensions in the region, but i think from a trump perspective, remember he ran on this america first message that did put forth this idea you wouldn t be putting americans in harm s way unless it was in american national interest, and so if w

lousy hat. romney choked like a dog. he choked. he went his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. i have a lot of friends no, i have a lot of friends. but the way, mitt romney is not one of them. joining me more to talk about all of this, ari fleischer, the former press secretary for george w. bush. we love having you through, nice to see you. first of all from the trump perspective, do you think this is a head fake or a genuine interest? its may be a genuine interest to talk to him and do that olive branch reachout president for all people, but i d be shocked if it s real interest. why? when someone excoriates you, it s not appropriate. they re not a good fit. why pretend? why try? i understand bygones will be bygones but this went too far. on the flip side, why would
