might respond to one another it's hard to say because one of the disturbing things in the seymour hersh article regarding the april episode was that at the time the intelligence the military commanders were telling him there was real doubt that the syrians have done this and apparently he could be convinced otherwise or maybe he he believed them and still felt he needed to act to make some kind of a show here i don't know how he will fold that kind of attitude if you will into his upcoming meeting with mr putin i think i think because of the political pressure he feels here at home he's got to show he's not a patsy he's not putin's puppet so i think that all goes into his calculations you think it'll go well next month. i really don't know there were there have been reports or fights within the administration about should it be a subject of beauty or just a side bar handshake or something like that and that mr trump wanted to have a substantive bt i think they will get one and i hope they will especially with the developments in mosul in iraq we are looking at some kind of end game here

on the air base and there's been more and more bit material particularly the article from seymour hersh earlier this week in fact just before mr spicer statement that the socially debunked that attack i think it's pretty clear to most observers this was not a chemical attack by by the syrian forces so you really wonder how they can be prepping for another attack when it does look like there was a previous attack and then you have a few days later general bad as service now secretary about is saying well the warning worked they called it off well how would they know that or you know i suppose they could do it some time after the the whole thing looks very very fishy to me you almost get a sense that this was contrived for some political purpose or maybe involved some kind of fighting between various elements of the administration now what do you make of the white house and u.n. ambassador nikki haley threatening syria with that why pay a heavy price to tell the truth by to make something of it i can't i can't figure out what ambassador haley's talking about as far as the white house goes

the fact that a major exposé by one of this nation's most eminent investigative journalist seymour hershan exposé demonstrating conclusively that this a so-called chemical attack in april and it lit province was not a chemical attack this article couldn't find a single outlet to publish it that is hersh could not find a single american outlet to publish it he couldn't find a british outlet to publish it it has finally appeared in developed the german newspaper that tells us something that there is a certain propaganda narrative about assad's brutality his use of chemical weapons against innocent people etc and there's a tremendous effort underway a successful effort to protect that propaganda narrative from any contradiction and that's what we're seeing now i think all too many people in the united states are ready to believe that assad has in fact attacked his people chemically and may well be preparing to do it once again and you're right not everybody believes that it's an excellent point there and philip what can you say to u.n. ambassador nikki haley's comments that any further atta

that we break down seymour hersh's latest exposé were guarding the official narrative behind the trumpetministrations major escalation in syria. it's wednesday june.

the warning comes less than forty eight hours after seymour hersh publishes what i consider a definitive demolition of the claim that the syrian army launched an attack in april i cannot believe these people actually believe the syrians were responsible for that attack and i don't think this warning really has any to do with and i think what has to do with is the fact that the syrian army together with the russian and iranian backers are winning this war and i think this is part of what we've seen with the reactions with the the strikes against syrian forces near all time for the shoot down of the the sukhoi plane i think there are some pressures coming on the administration from our friends like the saudis and also the israelis who are very candid down there's a big article in jerusalem post the other day they'd much rather have al qaeda on the golan than the iranians or hezbollah i think that's what this is really about you're expectations of assad's response and i also want to point out that it's almost somewhat of an ultimatum made him to russia isn't it the way this has been worded

about differences, when i was a kid, reporting, and the press they didn't go to college, the seymour hersh method, a job being a plumber or an electrician than it was being a doctor or a lawyer. any affinity for politicians or the rich, they attended to have this stick it to the man attitude. it was a far less diverse group of people, in terms of class, they were more working-class group of people back in the day. when you are on the campaign you see a lot of people like me who come from privileged backgrounds, to really good schools, had to be white and well off and get into this business very often because they are attracted to the idea of being near power and powerful people. they want to hang out after the speech, where the candidate -- you had never seen that 30 or 40 years ago to be behind the rope line, the politician was the enemy. what i have seen lately is socially the media and people covering the same thing, after campaigns are over they hang out with each other, the political strategists, they go to the same bars, on the upper west side, don't know if that is a healthy thing,

they were like this -- they got in sort of via the hersh method. be copy boys at age 16 and just work their way through and it was a job more like being a plumber or a electrician hand being a doctor or lawyer. and the -- become then i think those -- back then those people didn't have any affinity for politicians. they had this stick it to the man attitude. of course it was a far less diverse group of people on the one hand but in terms of class, they were very much more working class group of people back in the day. now when you're on the campaign plane you see a lot of people who are like me. they come from privileged background, went to really could school, tend to be white and well off, and they get into this business often because they're trached to the idea of being near power and powerful people. they want to hang out after the speech with the candidates aides or the candidate, his or herself, and you would never have seen that 30 or 40 years ago, this desire to be behind he rope line with he politician. bank then the politician was the enem
