he has been making a case for weeks now that his client, stormy daniels, has a strong legal case that t test test test test test test test test welcome back. as we mentioned, stormy daniels is cooperating with federal investigators in connection with the broader probe into attorney michael cohen. her lawyer, michael avenatti, joins us now. so it strikes me that you ve been out there slugging away largely as a one-man p.r. operation against the leader of the free world, his lawyer whose offices and homes have now been raided by the fbi, making points that some people have been skeptical of. but it seems that you ve been proven to be on to something when it comes to michael cohen s conduct and his lawyering. well, you know, we don t just file a case like this and go out on a speaking tour without any substance behind this. we re not just making it up as we go along. so, you know, i will tell you that it s been nice to see some of these things come to fruition over the last seven to t
i certainly didn t, that s for certain. i actually thought there was a better chance that we would be at nuclear war with north koreae than there would be peace talks. but there is something we are missing,re tucker. there se a little bit of contex. south korean press, about two weeks ago, came out with some reports that were fascinating. they actually speculated that north korea was actually on the edge of financial bankruptcy. by october, their foreign exchange reserves are probably going to be exhausted, and their dollar reserves are going to be exhausted. so that means north korea is essentially bankrupt. you can t build a loft of nuclear weapons and a lot of missiles when you have no moneyt to do it, to pay all the different spies and people to bring those materials back. you can t also feed your people that way. so i do think the north koreans might be trying to buy some time here, but i also think that kim jong un s newfound pragmatism, there might be a bigger reason for it.
donald j. trump, red lines mean red lines. what would you do, harry, in his position, if the most powerful nation in the world common streeted to you that we can see what you are doing? wouldn t you think again about actually executing on that decision? i know i would. i wouldn t test donald j. trump. joining us now to discuss this is former brigadier general tony tatum, best-selling authority of the siege wrrk and retired lieutenant general mark hertling. do we have any sense that this is working? i think we do. it s bounced off the intended targets of russia and iran. the message is a good one, backing up a u.n. mandate from 2013 that said syria should not have chemical weapons and they should eliminate them. in and of itself it s a good
pulling back and is he pulling back and not moving ahead with another chemical weapons attack. one of the president s top advisors on this network said syria should not test the trump administration. the president was sending a very clear message under this administration of donald j. trump, red lines mean red lines. what would you do in his position if the most powerful nation in the world demonstrated to you we can see what you are doing, wouldn t you think again about actually executing on that decision? i know i would. i wouldn t test donald j. trump. what has been the international reaction of all this in the last 24 hours? the biggest international reaction we ve seen is the fact that the russian chief general has actually been to syria, met with assad at one of russia s
message. under this administration, red lines mean red lines. so what makes you think that threat, though, this time around will deter syria if that strike is happening again. what would you do in his position if the most powerful nation in the world demonstrated to you that we can see what you are doing. wouldn t you think again about actually executing on that decision? i know i would. i wouldn t test donald j. trump. so you think they will pull back because of this threat of a heavy price? i think if we re talking about rational actors, if we re talking about an intact command, then yes, the reasonable decision would be to not test the resolve of the president. so let me ask you a little
