Fury, and, frankly power, the likes of which the world has never seen. christie, that is what the president just said. right. jon: from his working vacation in bedminster, new jersey. tough talk. but these are tough times. yeah. tough talk the danger for him is that president trump is full of a lot of tough talk. he is someone who, as some have joked about as somebody who likes to talk loudly and carry a small stick. that s not the approach that we should be going after here. i just don t think that as i said sort of verbal bullying and potential empty threats are the way to go. you want to deescalate. he doesn t seem to have a lot of ability to know how to do that exactly. i m sure there are cooler heads that can prevail in his administration. i hope that they will do so. jon: brad, have you been a presidential advisor.
His cabinet. the president talking about what he called the tremendous problem of the opioid crisis saying nobody is safe from this epidemic that threatens young, old, rich, poor, rural and urban. the first lady, the president sson and his new chief of staff general kelly on hand for today s briefing. you know, jon, we can only assume that we will see more tweets coming out after today s meeting. the president has been very active over the last 24 hours on his working vacation on twitter. he had 13 yesterday. 8 so far today. when the news of north korea broke he did tweet about some other things. but we are expecting to see more from him today. back to you. laura ingle. laura, thank you. we will be right back with a look how the u.s. led the way to try to make the world a better place and it happened on this day in history. that s ahead.
