Recognizes that sound. Well, thats correct, brian. If you remember Defense Secretary mattis was the first led the first marines on the ground shortly after 9 11. Lets get with the breaking news, moments ago fox news has learned the taliban claimed responsibility for a massive Rocket Attack at kabuls International Airport. 40 to 45 rockets and rocket propelled grenades landed near the Passenger Terminal just less than two hours after Defense Secretary jim mattis arrived with his entourage which included the press. Now, im told that mattis was in no danger. He had already left the area aboard helicopter and Rocket Attack was not near the location where he landed. But, still, brian, its the same airport and certainly raises a lot of questions about security in afghanistan 16 years after the 9 11 attacks. Now, mattis a day ago was traveling in india, which might have put the taliban on some kind of alert. It was not public that Defense Secretary mattis would be arriving in kabul today. He
As he goes into it. However when you contrast it to what the president has said up to tonight. Here is how the administration has been describing its goal for the singapore talks. North korea has the opportunity to end decades of poverty and oppression by following the path of denuclearization. The conversation is going to be focused on denuclearization in the peninsula. The goal and the purpose of the conversations is to have denuclearization of the peninsula. The denuclearization of the korean peninsula. The president has laid out to what he wants to see as a commitment to denuclearization. I will be meeting with kim jongun in the coming weeks as we seek to denuclearize the area
and the entire korean peninsula. The stated goal and now, not so much. I think it is a gettingtoknowyou meeting plus. There is another one. Whatever else you might think of the summit, that sounds like a different agenda. Human rights might not be on the agenda either. Here is the president talking about toda
Right now. Its not an order, the president s opinion. Are President Trumps tweets considered official white house statements . The president is the president of the United States, theyre considered official statements by the president of the United States. Wow. Good morning. And welcome to morning joe. Im confused. So confused. What is that line from the office . Universe, you win. Its thursday, august 2nd. And what a way to start the day. What a way. So, is it the official policy of the president or not . I think the most telling thing of the whole story is how much his lawyers freaked out immediately and started calling around immediately. He was just venting. Just like a baseball game. When hes actually doing what talking about what would start a constitutional crisis. Or Obstruction Of Justice. As brian clause pointed out yesterday is exactly what he did in turkey back 2013, 2014. Talk about fake news. You talk about deep state conspiracies. You fire prosecutors and you have a were
treating these women up until this point. that s created a lot of conversation and frankly what i don t like about how many of the men with these platforms are shaping the conversation is they re reducing it to pettiness, to jealousy, they re playing on terreo types and tropes that are said about women in general, but especially black women. and this is a black women led league, and to me, that has really devalued the conversation we need to be having. somebody very smart said to me recently the challenge with women s basketball is most of the stars are black, but most of the great players are black, but most of the stars are white. whether it s who s getting rewarded by espn, who is getting noticed by magazines. if there were charter flights, brittney griner would not have ended up in a gulag. these ladies are flying commercial and they re not treated like the men are. how much of this do you think is the marketing potential of a caitlin clark?
