Hearts we werent going to kill them. That was training. That kind of training helped prepare them for the treatment that they got. John mccain was tortured. What they did to him in the hanoi hilton and other Prisoner Of War Sites in North Vietnam was torture. Weve never done that kind of thing. Never condoned it. Some of our allies may have done it but we department. The bottom line is, when congress made these things illegal, theyre going to stay illegal until Congress Changes it. Neil when i hear the president said as he did today in this Press Conference and that he would defer i hope i have the right wording there to his Defense Secretary, what did you make of that . Well, i make of it donald trump became famous for saying year youre fired. If he doesnt like that the
secretary of defense wont do it i know these mean well. I know jim mattis very well. He was not going to issue that kind of order and he has the authority to issue though orders. Hes not going to do it. Into if the pre
Kellyanne conway had to say about it today. That cannot be verified. Thats a classified briefing. We should all be increasingly confirmed that we have, quote, Intelligence Officials, divulging information unsourced, unnamed to the rest of us. Just to smear the President Elect of the United States we now have Intelligence Officials divulging information theyre sworn not to divulge. We should be very concerned about that. I dont even think this is fake news. I think its just fake. I would take the news word right out of it. Reporter so what were seeing from donald trump and his advisers is pushback against the Intelligence Community but taking issue with the underlying allegations that cnn has not cooperated and have not been reporting. And reince priebus, trumps chief of staff, said he asked donald trump directly about some of these underlying allegations. Donald trump apparently told him they were complete garbage but
in more colorful language. You can bet this will come up at the Pres
Refuse to share information about the Islamic State with the United States. And official telling the post that trump revealed more information to the Russian Ambassador than we have shared with our own allies. Nbc news has not confirmed the reports about the meeting. Roughly an hour ago National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster emerged from the white house to offer this denial. Theres nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American People. This story that came out tonight as reported is false. The president and the Foreign Minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation. At no time at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed and the president did not disclose any Military Operations that were not already publicly known. Two other senior officials who are present, including the Secretary Of State remember the
meeting the same way and have said that. Their on the record accounts should ou
Talked to his Attorney General yet. Thats right. Reporter i had a chance to catch up with kellyannec conway. I asked her whether or not the president views this decision as some sort of set back or defeat. She didnt exactly answer that question, but heres what she had to say. This is a defeat . Do you see this as a setback . He sees it as the statute provides a president with great latitude and authority to protect the citizens and protect the Nations National security. This was not argued on the merits. Now that well have an opportunity to argue on the merits, we look forward to doing that. I think his tweet was perfect when he said, well see you in court. There you go. Some confidence being expressed by Kellyanne Conway at the white
house. Not a lot new in terms of arguments being laid out by the white house in response to this, just the very tough talk that were going to see you in court. That is not exactly going to win the day at the Supreme Court. I asked Kellyanne Conway, is thi
He is a heck no on trump care. Im a heck no on this. I think theyve got problems with the vote. Ive personally spoken to 29 of my conservative colleagues who are no on this as of today and were not even counting the moderate republicans who are a no. I think theyve got a lot of arm twisting to do between now and thursday if theyre going to pass this bill in the house. Does he sound scared to you . Because congressman massey was in the room today when donald trump came to the House Of Representatives to urge republicans to vote for the bill. Here is how congressman massey describes tough guy donald trump. Threatening and pushing around all those republicans who oppose the bill. He was very charming. There was some lighthearted jabs at his opponents in the room but it was all in good fun. Lighthearted jabs. That ought to do it. Thats what tough guy trump is delivering to republican opponents of his bill. Thomas massey doesnt claim to
be a tough guy the way donald trump does, but he certa
