okay. by the way levy, i apologize for that, but are democrats pamela making too much of this win? if economy does well under trump, as here s what he s writing, 1998 demonstrated the truth of the unofficial slogan against clinton first ran, it s economy, stupid. beats the yuck factor. talk about that. yeah. look, right now i think democrats have a lot of reasons to celebrate. i think what you saw in alabama was enormous energy on the part of the democrat base. and if that s something they can continue to mobilize and build on, then they are going to look really good in 2018 and 2020. but absolutely the economy is a huge deal. i think it s just one of those mega factors that will help determine election after election. will is not much you can do about it. but if the economy is in ha particular good place, i definitely think that boosts republicans and trump s chances.
now inherited and build on. see in a year s time when his legislative agenda is through if he can still take credit. will you say blackberry again? blackberry. i still have one. richard quest and laura thank you so much. coming up u.s. fighter jets creating drills on the peninsula as president trump is heading to that part of the world. north korea calling them test runs for surprise nuclear attack. you will hear my interview, i was in korea with 19 year old soldier at the border at the dmz, why he signed up in the first place. what s your message to americans back home who are worried about americans like you so close to north korea? i would say to just pray for us, really.
watered down and the hard liners in iran will be calling the shots going forward here. they re basically saying this deal was not negotiated well by moderates. it never should have been done. and now we re going to take charge of this. which sets the stage for a lot more confrontation between iran and america in this region. a lot of their interests are overlapg here, as isis fade as way in places like syria. there s a vacuum left with both iran and america trying to fill and they re not getting on with each other which makes the situation much, much more dangerous. tlchsz of tl there was a small glimmer of hope during the obama administration that this was a base, not a ceiling. four years of animosity of iran wasn t just going to go away in a night or two but something you could possibly build on and build on, the diplomacy. you ll remember, andrea, when the u.s. sailors were taken, terrible situation. it was something that was very upsetting towards america.
any determinations yet about culpability or treason as people said. i think we re far from that. espionage is another word. right. two things. one is going to the russian facility and using their communication devices that shows clear intent to shield the communications from u.s. intelligence. that s very curious and potentially trouble some. the other aspect, if it s about syria that s a place we have troops on the ground and one of the things that you have one present at a time is because if you re going to be coordinating military operations with the russians in syria, for example, that can affect the lives, security and safety of our troops. that is a very dangerous thing. that s why we have discipline in our command and control system. ned, build on what jeremy said here. john kelly also saying today that any line of communication with russia is a good thing. well, look, they attempted to
take out hate on innocent civilians? a lot of different ways. one the representation of the police department, that there s almost 1,000 muslim officers in the nypd, several thousand muslim employees. a department that celebrates diversity such as the city itself. outreach, extensive constant outreach protection of immigration rights, for example, protection of religious rights, a very, very strong hate crimes investigative unit to deal with hate crimes directed against any religious group. so much of it is really trying to build trust so in a community where there is a focus on young men in particular being attracted to this ideology, that how do you detect it early, how to you get people to let you know that this young person is moving in that direction. very complex, not easy to deal with, but there are success stories you can model on and build on.
