which then raises a whole lot of new questions including what happens to the 28,000 u.s. troops stationed in south korea that president trump has often complained about the expense, but of course south korea has relied upon for decades to provide defense in case things turn south when it comes to their deal wgz tings turn south. president trump may lose out on some executive time this week. he ll be busy with the north korea summit while house democrats will have voted to block his declaration on the southern border. a similar resolution may not be able to pass the senate. and mr. cohen will be testifying to lawmakers about what he knows about the 2016 campaign. so talk to me about the national emergency first. democrats are going to vote against it, but after that, they
the time of our choosing. bluster or accurate? accurate. this is what happens when the united states and this president doesn t engage. we ve learned to say retreat in five languages. the vacuums we ve created are filled by our competitors, aggressors or enemies. we re witnessing a new alliance, alliance of power in the middle east which has ramifications and consequences here. there s a new poll out. the majority of the american people, over 60% support additional action in syria. the president says america is tired of everyone is. guys like you fight these wars. if we understand that fighting, america gets behind it. the president plans to 50 or suppression operation s troops in. is that going to make a difference? absolutely not. unless we have a medivac and quick force, it the people around them, they don t have control. they don t know whether they re enemy or not.
the point of most of what we re seeing from israelis, i think probably 99% of what we re seeing from israelis is an attempt to subdue attackers. this is not a cycle of violence as i think the administration is trying to portray it, but rather a campaign of violence that the israelis are trying to do. jon: this campaign, how is it being coordinated? is it all handled by social media? is it given a wink and a nod by the palestinian leadership? who is running this thing, do you know? it is complicated but i think what we have is indication that hamas is driving this in the gaza strip. they don t want a war in gaza but they re more than happy to have one in the west bank where they don t have control. meantime you re seeing mahmoud abbas, president of the palestinian authority with one foot in and one foot down. he knows chaos could bring him down and trying to drive popular wave of discontent in the west bank.
they don t have control. it s just a delusion. he s quite an individual. here a few weeks ago, he called me up to his cell. he was having a real problem with his next-door neighbor. in fact, he just told me, he said, if you don t move me or my next-door neighbor, i m going to kill him. if steven was having if he was having these kind of thoughts or these kind of problems, the guy next door somebody needed to be moved. that s why we did it. again, steven s a big man and but i have to say in much a way, he s a big man in a little boy s with a little boy s mind in a lot of different ways. open l-38, please. once in prison, steven parker, whose friends call him the worm, became more violent.
villainize me for that, but like i said, i grew up with parents that didn t give a [ bleep ] about me, and i m not trying to excuse my behavior. i wasn t racist until i started landing in jails and in prisons and kept getting jumped on over and over again. then i became racist. and i wear it proudly. i got the swastikas, and i got the schutzstaffel bolts. steven parker is crazy. he s a nut. i mean, no more, no less. he s not a person that s very intelligent. we stand for racial supremacy. we want to control the penitentiary system. it won t take much to incite a riot or whatever, you know. you could take four officers hostage at the same time, and it s gonna domino. it s gonna domino. they don t have control. it s just a delusion. forbidden to write letters in seg to general population, parker says he s able to communicate with fellow aryan brotherhood inmates by writing
