happenstance? yes, absolutely. the irony of roger stone rejecting a conspiracy theory. and so today, april 13th, 2017, was the day that america woke up to the sudden knowledge that bombs have mothers. that all of the conventional nonnuclear bombs in the american military arsenal have one big beautiful mother. and there she is. the bomb s official name for bookkeeping purposes in the military is the gbu-43. the letters on the side of the bomb describe its function, what you can expect from it. massive ordnance air blast. but the military doesn t want us to call it the gbu-43, or the moab. names are important to the military. they name their bases after war heroes, after general, including generals who have committed treason by fighting in the confederate army against the united states of america. the biggest u.s. military base in the world, the one with the biggest military population is in fort hood in texas, named after treasonous confederate general john bell hood. but ....
going on. but tonight i actually showed up with something planned to say. oh, okay. and you ruined it. because i just listened again. rachel. bless our hearts and other parts. all right. but [ laughter ] i didn t know i could get you to say that again. i m regretting it immediately. okay. i m going to try to say the thing i planned to say. okay. and what i planned to say is wouldn t it be nice if it was just completely totally absolutely impossible to suspect that vladimir putin orchestrated what happened in syria this week so that his friend in the white house could have a big night with missiles and all of the praise he has picked up over the last 24 hours? wouldn t it be so nice if you couldn t even in your wildest dreams imagine a scenario like that? wouldn t it be great if we could go back to wag the dog being a sitcom plot, you know. exactly. and i don t know what it is. is it a 2% chance? is it a 50% chance? i don t know. but i don t think it s a ....
that s a closed session but it s significant for several reasons. first, you mentioned he s the president s personal lawyer. he s known him for years, they go back in terms of business dealings. this is a person who s been in a lot of private, personal and confidential conversations with the president so it will be very, very interesting to see what kind of information he s going to be able to reveal. and then of course it s a sign of a potential escalation or widening in the russia probe given there have been other significant interviews. of course, jared kushner met with the senate intel committee as well. but this will be a very interesting interview to watch and again as the headlines play out with that on the hill, on tuesday, while the president is in new york, trying to focus on things like the threat from north korea, the current iran nuclear deal and other pressing issues. he will be trying to make this a global debut on the world stage where others may be talking about s ....
main event is now over. so that does it for us from hamburg tonight. rachel will be back on monday, and i will see you again next friday live from iraq where we will take you to the front lines for the final push to drive isis out of the city of mosul. now it s time for the last good evening, richard. thank you for all that reporting. but you go, i do want to ask you given everything, do you think putin got what he wanted out of president trump today? i think he absolutely got what he wanted. i think he came in with this intention to have a long meeting. i think he wanted to overwhelm the president, presenting him lots of options, lots of things they could discuss, put some meat on the table for them to start digging right into it and hoping this will lead to more discussions, more follow-on, and a tighter relationship. interesting. richard engel, thank you very much. absolutely. i am ari melber live in new york for lawrence o donnell. now for months, people have be ....
