jamil, begin with you.d story unfortunately, close to ten or more depending on who perpetrated what of these weaponized vehicle attacks are now almost der rigor. what do you think is a better way? it's clearly very difficult to fight to take on this kind of attack. >> you are right, liz, in a free society it's hard to defend against attacks where attackers use normal vehicles and means of conveyance to attack people. when you are talking about sort of small casualty attacks it's hard to prevent, there's not a lot of planning going on. driving things into crowds. so in a lot of ways, the best example we can look to is the israelis who try hard to prevent attacks like these but have a hard time doing it, and live in a much more restricted society than europe and the united states. liz: you know, that is true, israel gets a lot of grief for forcing non-israeli citizens, palestinians in particular to have special license plates because you learn from mistakes, you learn that, yes you want defense of democracy,

. >> let's bring in jamil, from the senate foreign relations committee, george mason school of law, jamilhow are you? >> good, jim, how are you. >> two nights, we had you on the 11:30, but things keep rapidly changing when north korea your take away from what the president said today? >> look, i think the president is getting tough. he is saying what should have been said for years, north korea is a real problem, their threats cannot go un addressed and he's too long address them and he's being serious about it. >> the president is saying one things, his advisors are using language much calmer and trying to kind of tamp down the situation. is it having much an effect, though, you know, across the world, what the advisors say versus what president trump is saying? is that creating a i shall knew. >> look, always a little bit of good cop bad cop. at the end of the day we want a solution where north korea backs off, stops being so aggressive. frankly work to give un its nuclear president, so the president is rightly being strong, aggress enough saying more the north koreans believe it, more

i agree with jamil.ould be surprised that spontaneously his -- you know, his idea was, well, violence on all sides. on all sides. but then when he's given these -- oh, i can't finish my thought. it's just so frustrating, and i feel so badly for this girl's family and the loss of someone that was really trying to do something good and right. and, yeah. >> jamil, what the president said today, we've heard enough of it, and i don't want to give it more prominence than what heather's mother has to say. but what he said sounded like the standard script that republican speechwriters would have written for a republican president. but to the white house supremacists who watched the president hang in there all weekend not saying those words, clearly fighting against saying those words, he gets the credit with them today, doesn't he? that he hung in there all that time before he read in that kind of robot-like style the stuff that you're supposed to say in these situations? >> undoubtedly. i think that -- look, i

jamil jaffer, who worked with former president george w. bush.u think this is in part directed to china? many people say china holds the key. china is not incentivized, buck, to do anything right now. >> a lot of what we do to north korea obviously sends messages to china at the same time. a lot of our public posture and sending back four decades. our policies have failed. we have not been able to contain north korea's program effectively. the missile testing has gotten to a much accelerated pace even where it was under kim jong-un or kim jong-il before. now we see a moment in time, people say hold on, if we continue on the current trajectory this will end up in a terrible place. trish: we can't allow it. >> china is beginning to see we have a change in posture. we'll see if the chinese are willing to do much more than they have already done. they have signed on for these new sanctions. they are key here but they do not want regime change in north korea. that is the key difference between u.s. aims in north korea and china aims in north korea. tr

is it safe to assume, jamil, that subpoenas are coming? some have already come out of edva, eastern division of virginia. and ddc. neil: what is ddc? >> john is exactly right. this is just an investigation, you need subpoenas to conduct an investigation. neil: apparently there is a standard, and again, media reports could be very wrong, gentlemen, but what i've heard, john, is it is centered on the june 26, meeting and the russian entities, what would you take from that? >> yeah, that is one of many things bob mueller and team are looking into. i have heard the subpoenas are specifically focused on that meeting. i think they're going want to to know exactly who was at that meeting, why the meeting was set up, what the various people's understanding was going into the meeting and what happened at the meeting. stories about possibly a document left behind. they're going to want to know for sure what information was provided, whether it was provided orally or in the form of a document and want to know as much detail as they can. i expect they

joining me from washington, d.c., to discuss the director of george mason's school of law jamil jafferk you first of all, what is your reaction to this news and how serious is it? >> i think this is a big move by the north koreans. problematic that it flew over japanese airspace which is troubling news. they have sought missiles before into the sea of japan which japan has been concerned about. this is a change of pace and troubling. emily: what makes this one different? >> having violated japanese making japanests report to its people a missile may be inbound. that is disconcerting from a defensive perspective for japan. they have always known north korea has the capability of reaching japan with blistered missiles, much further today. but this is a provocative move i think. emily: there has been concern about the remarks president trump has made about north korea, concerns about trump's approach. what do you think about that as having potentially precipitated this? >> i think to the contrary, president trump's approach has pushed them back. they have not launched toward guam. they've

with me now is a former obama and bernie sanders supporter who voted for and backs donald trump and jamilwelcome to you both. >> hi. >> thanks for having me on. >> absolutely. taylor, i want to start with you because you came to our attention as one of those people out there that a lot of folks are curious about. you like bernie sanders but you're with trump. starting with this sort of sur if you have fi cur if you have fall, i think it comes down do matter of perm taste. i'm concerned we're making national headline of off handed headlines in a golfing magazine. >> there's a certain standard that comes up with other presidents, barack obama is one but more than barack ama have been held to a standard about a comment like this and a lot of folks seem to want to look the other way with president trump. what do you think? >> when you look at the conservative media, that he would have had a field day if obama said this. i think it's relevant in that respect but also it tells you a lot about the man himself. what kind of person takes a job with that kind of importance, with that kind of power

joining me now, jamil. i'm sure you guys get asked a lot, what can we do?ald trump out of here? the reality is, he won an election, it's difficult to do anything other than elect a congress that will restrain or impeach him. >> what donald trump says is not as important as what he's doing. he's trying to suppress the vote. this fraudulent election integrity commission is something that all democrats and hopefully all republicans will start to stand up against. it's not enough to just send a tweet thinking that's enough to suppress white supremacy and white nationalism, you have to actually do the work. >> you saw hillary clinton won 487 counties. if you look at economic agoty, clintons counties account for two thirds of the country. isn't what democrats need to be focused on now is voter registration and the 2018 midterms? >> i think so. we have to show up and vote. donald trump are going to be thinking and hoping that we're too depressed, too down, that we don't have the energy to come out in 2018 and we have to show them wrong. also, one thing i want to s
