north korean actions just re-enforced 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 trump s call with xi jinping and secretary mattis s trip to the region, i think the trump administration said look, we re here and we re 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. se ....
because australia is the one, they don t want those. that s why they made the deal with obama. obviously they are being hypocrites, okay. but when i heard tough phone call, let me tell you about some tough phone calls i ve made. if you had to call a girl and say it s burning down there. look, at the end of the day, i think that trump is hilarious, watching him every time he speaks, it s a very entertaining endeavor. but to be honest with you, i feel like he is the only guy who has a prank answering machine on his cell phone. you call and you get his answering machine and he does that hello, hello, hello. just kidding, you got the president. that s all it got say about tha that. tom: kristin, what do you think, do you think we should have to honor every deal, this thing was assigned just before trump took office. most politicians say we have to honor all of our agreements. these people are not our problem. australia doesn t want them, the days are over of us being pushove ....
tonight, instead of looking backward, i will offer them free market capital solutions that even a u.s. senator should be able to understand. the republican party, are they supposed to be part of the freedom party? don t they believe in capitalism and free markets? isn t it time to embrace the things on the campaign trail they say they stand for? for example, i have interviewed a doctor in kansas who runs atlas md. one of the most cost-effective medical practices in the country. he explains how this great system is working for people. take a look. the idea is direct primary care. the new model going forward. we don t take insurance. we don t need it for common things. $10 for kids. $50 for most unlimited for unlimited visits. one of the biggest lies ever told in american politics. instead of trying to fix the disaster that is obamacare, republicans it s time to offer up conservative, free market, capitalists solutions for the american people. more free market competition. tha ....
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 ....
we will not talk about numbers of troops. that is new for the american presidency. at no point tonight did the president clarify anything about what would actually change militarily for the united states in afghanistan. if this speech is meant to be interpreted as an increase in troop strength in afghanistan, it s the first time a president has announced an increase in troop strength without actually announcing an increase in troop strength. as commander in chief, i have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 u.s. troops to afghanistan. after 18 months, our troops will begin to come home. these are the resources that we need to seize the initiative while building the afghan capacity that can allow for a responsible transition of our forces out of afghanistan. and here is how president george w. bush described the military surge that he ordered in iraq. so uch committed more than 20,000 additional american troops to iraq. the v ....
