and ku klux klan, many sides. it looked like an ad lib moment. he read the script. we haven t forgotten about north korea or the threat of military force in venezuela. we ll get to that coming up. he s ripping the white house response to the violence in charlottesvile. that city s mayor, michael signer joins us next on morning joe . this is not a cloud. this is a car protected from storms by an insurance company that knows the weather down to the square block. this is a diamond tracked on a blockchain - protected against fraud, theft and trafficking. this is a financial transaction secure from hacks and threats others can t see. this is a patient s medical history made secure - while still available to their doctor at their fingertips.
the only ironic thing on north korea is it s pushed it a little bit back. and you see the markets taking a breath. you have comments about pompeo saying war is not imminent. it s almost like north korea was last week, now it s charlottesville. there s a sense of whiplash where w this presidency. the prospect of nuclear war was pushed to the side. only this president could accomplish that. it s not the kind of thing we studied with international relations in college. international relations, the threat in venezuela because of their proximity, canada better keep their act together. trudeau better keep it, because we re close. guam s tourism is looking good according to president. still ahead, peter alexander has an exclusive interview with mike pence. we ll bring you that in a moment. plus, we ll speak with tom perez and reverend al sharpton and
