North korean actions just reenforced for both leaders why this is the number one threat to both Prime Minister abe and to President Trump. I think the north korean actions were deliberately timed after what was a pretty good week in terms of u. S. Policy in asia, with regard to President Trumps call with xi jinping and secretary mattiss trip to the region, i think the Trump Administration said look, were here and were not going to be an easy issue to deal with. Right now the National Security advisor is said to have broke on the law and critics call for him to be fired, for him to step down. How much does that impact the advice that this group can give the president at this time . I think the precedent is going to get advise from a wide range of people, including the folks in the State Department,
particularly those commitments to china that would affect the finances that north korea has for building these missiles, there may be a statement that comes out of the u. N. Security council
Did not discuss sources, methods or Military Operations. The president only discussed the common threats that both countries face. But anderson, nowhere in these statements that were released by tillerson, powell or the National Security advisor. Is there any kind of denial that the president released Classified Information to the russians, and of course thats a deeply sensitive topic because President Trump went after Hillary Clinton for having emails on her private server. H. R. Mcmaster will be briefing reporters tomorrow on the president s upcoming foreign trip. Obviously if mcmaster does not show up at that briefing, thats a telling sign that we should
circle the wagons on this. Its not clear that any of those statements almost sound word for word the same, the fact that they dont specifically say hi didnt reveal Classified Information, thats not just an oversight that the white house put out a statement that didnt directly address that. This is the sort of denial speak that you g
Today. Today you can sense the chant coming from the trump people. Listen closely and you can pick up a slightly different rhythm right now of dont lock me up, dont lock me up yesterday it was reported first by the Wall Street Journal that trumps former National Security adviser Michael Flynn, the guy saw there going after hillary, his lauer is looking to get flynn immunity in order to testify about what he knows. According to his lawyer trumps former National Security adviser certainly has a story to tell. This morning President Trump tweeted that mike flynn should ask for immunity in is that this is a witch hunt an excuse for a big election lost by the democrats and the media of historic proportion. At the meeting today Sean Spicer Conexplained the president was trying to convey his desire to see flynn testify. If you actually stop for a second and realize what the president is doing he is saying do whatever to do to go up and make it clear what happened,
take whatever precaution you
Want and i will vote yet. Dean heller is the only republican standing for reelection in a state that went for hillary clinton. And he has a fellow republican who is the governor who doesnt like this bill. Hes in a tougher place. Im not exactly sure what Mitch Mcconnell could come up with that would move mr. Heller into the yes column. His rhetoric has been pretty emphatic. If you have got rand paul who is the least likely of the 10 at the conservative end and dean heller at the more moderate end, if heller thinks its too frugal, the more you push it one way and make it more generous, you will lose the frugal folks. Arthel lets take a listen. This is still a work in progress. Though the leader of the United States senate is very good at establishing coalitions to see that legislation passes. But its still a lot of work to be done to determine whether it gets to 51 votes. Maria what is your gut . Do you think it happens this week . My gut tells me this is very difficult. I hate to say th

Good evening. After a weekend long standoff republicans and democrats have approved a deal end the partial Government Shutdown. It is over. President trump should be signing it any moment now. This should get the Government Back open for business but only for two weeks up to february
8th. Keeping them honest, all theyre really doing is kicking the Government Funding can down the road for another likely heated showdown next month. Mitch mcconnell and Chuck Schumer struck a deal to reopen the government without resolving any issues that sparked the shutdown, mainly immigration reform, namely for daca, and democrats w
