>> hi, brooke. according to this new report by "the washington post," the president had a conversation back in the spring with his attorney general jeff sessions. we should note that sheriff arpaio's case got under way in late june. this conversation according to the report took place before that. i should mention that just in the last week or so through cnn's own reporting we learned that this is something the president had been planning, something that he had been preparing to do. now we're getting a sense of just how far back that thinking on the president's part may have gone. here is what an official -- a white house official told "the washington post." they put it in way. we knew the president wanted to do this for some time now and had worked to prepare for whenever the moment may come. so that is what the white house official was telling "the washington post." and, of course, this is a pardon that has gotten a lot of attention. we don't want to get the reason for that to be lost in the contr

>> this is the thing, brooke.sponses, these fired responses we've seen from north korea so far haven't been direct quotes from kim jong-un. they're his generals or lower level government officials. he's putting out statements through officials in his government and then the president of the united states is directly responding, mentioning him by name. either north korea is being elevated up to the level of the united states or the united states is being dragged down to the level of north korea, but either way, all of the sunday, we have two leaders vastly different with military capability, wealth, political influence, respect, and yet, basically at the same level in this tit for tat and the north korean propaganda i've seen today and we could see another wave of north korean releases soon, but the rhetoric was relatively tame by north korea standards. back to their normal threatening to turn the mainland united states into a stage for nuclear war. we've heard that before, saying president trump and the united sta

is he the star with mo brooks?earing a lot of about mitch mcconnell and they're hearing a lot about him on conservative radio. he's basically saying the blame for the failure of the affordable care act repeal bill. and when you see attacks on mcconnell from roy moore, from mo brooks, it's all based on that failure, that goal for conservatives that went on for years and years and years. so they're knowing -- they're learning about mcconnell as the one who sg go to get the blame for the failure of that repeal, which moor and brooks are both counting on or hoping, i guess, would probably be the best way to say it. they're hoping that that's going to excite republican voters more than any endorsement from donald trump. >> now, we were talking to you before this interview, you said one of the surprising things is the lack of alabama issues, that this is totally been a national iced race. >> that's true. >> but there may be one state specific issue that might be having some impact, and i'm curious your take on this. you
