in times world that's the narrative. and i think no discussion of the predominance of narrative over objective fact would be complete without at least a passing reference to our politics. right after the election, the party that lost the election adopted a slogan, resist, that slogan was meant to invoke the resistance to knot nazi germany during world war ii in the occupied portions of western europe. that's what it was intended to invoke. this wasn't just resist this program or that program. it was resist. and somehow there is a no ability in the resistance that goes beyond normal politics. we see it occasionally in the white house. and we are told that this is the nation at large is angry and would like to be heard from and lead by other people that are angry. so we have politics as primal screen therapy, personal catharsis than problem solving. that's an example of domain of whim pressing in on us. several months ago i testified at a senate hearing that dealt with proposed legislation to change slightly very slightly

in time world, tnor world, that's the narrative. right after the election the party that lost the election adopted the slogan, resist. that slogan was meant to invoke the resistance to nazi germany during world war ii in the occupied portions of western europe. that's what it was intended to invoke. this wasn't just resistance program for that program, it was resist and that some other is a nobility in the resistance that goes beyond normal politics. we see it occasionally in the white house. and we are told that this is a nation at large is anger and would like to heard from an inlet of the people are angry and politics as primal scream therapy. personal catharsis rather than problem-solving. that's just an example of domain of whim pressing in on us. several months ago i testified at a senate hearing that dealt with proposed legislation that changed slightly very slightly the rules that govern sensing. i was one of the panel of witnesses, several of them suggested it was racism rather than crime that accounted for by the prison po

it is opposed to narrative and it's not that we will continue to obey in the ways that make it possibleto maintain his allies society. with the unenforceable and the feeling is like the people in this room lawyers and others with personal interest and in particular republican and therefore and to make further antidotes and now i'm happy to take questions you may have or anything else you have come to hear about. [laughter] [applause] to make general first things are being here that was an incredible explanation so with the domain of whim with the governor of new york with enforcing and cooperating the what approaches would you take on behalf of doj not only to the governor but other places in our country. >> that the problem of responding with something like that and with the cooperation between federal law enforcement agencies and state and local can only harm the people of new york. but the problem is i want to be the subject of that experiment. [laughter] public shaming is the way it can be done in for those to articulate for him and just have it out in public. and those that are not

what i see is essentially a narrative work.on't think we've ever felt the kind of shame we should feel about what we did to native americans, about what we did during slavery, that what we did during lynching, what we did during segregation. i don't think of shame as a bad thing for us to experience. when you do something shameful, there has to be some moment of regret and were contents and truth telling. that is what leads to redemption andrecovery and repair restoration. i represent people who do bad things. none of them expects to be paroled if they're not willing to admit the wrongfulness of their crime. a lot of times when you go here me talking about this, i think they get a little edgy because we have become such a punitive society, amy. we have highest rate of incarceration in the world. we're so punitive in america that we are unwilling sometimes to admit our mistakes, to acknowledge our wrongdoings because we fear punishment. for me, what is been important about this project is to make people understand i don't want t

so he wrote the narrative to refute those claims, so he had to travel all through europe. great britain. susan: ireland as well? kamal maclarin: ireland and scotland, yes. susan: so what set him on the path of his accomplishments was education. kamal maclarin: yes. susan: and how did he get education as a slave child? kamal maclarin: he would obtain education through his slave mistress, and she took a liking to young fred. what we find was when she was teaching him the letters of the alphabet, her husband got hold of the teachings of young fred and pretty much stopped the early forms of teaching. but he realized that it was a transformative moment in his life, realizing that knowledge is power. that set him on his quest of becoming his own master as well as becoming a budding intellectual. susan: so he not only was self educated, but he took it up on himself very dangerously, i would imagine, to educate other enslaved people. i am sure that was a great threat to slave owners. how did that all play out? kamal maclarin: absolutely. under the institution of slavery, he pretty

up said that the narrative's been changed.rative got changed when colin kaepernick started wearing socks that depict police officers as pigs and shirts that had dictators on it. you lost the narrative completely when your biggest day of protest was not because of police brutality, it was because of donald trump's comments about honoring the flag and standing and that's the day that you lost this country. when the nfl players stayed in the locker room and there was the biggest day joined together of players that protested, it was because of comments by donald trump. and it hurt the nfl and it hurt viewership and it hurt sponsorship and everything else. that's why the owners have said we're not going to continue to go done this road. now, i will say this to the players. >> last thought. >> if you firmly believe so much in what you're saying about police brutality, continue to protest and pay the fines. put your money where your mouth is. but your rights have not been taken away from you there. >> ephraim, we have to leave it and

and it's been a narrative. and you have people that are enabling the white house to peddle these conspiracy theories. and one thing really interesting, anderson, is i listened to the intro, where you played the different clips of people, with their sound bites and they have their talking points as far as the conspiracy, it made me think about carl bernstein's book on nixon and watergate, and there's a fascinating part at the very end where he talks about ron zigler, who was the press secretary at the time, who was leading the effort to, you know, campaign against the press and destroy enemies. but at the end, when he was asked if he would apologize to "the washington post," he said he would. and there's a very telling line that said, we all have our jobs to do. and those people who are helping and enabling the president to peddle conspiracy theories and maybe doing their job, but history is not going to look kindly upon anyone who worked to destroy our national institutions. >> i want to get more on that from c

they buy into this narrative. you're absolutely right, you know that when they hand him a briefing, they have to give him bullet points so he can understand it. so he comes up with spy gate. he latches on to that. he says you guys are calling it that. no, you're calling it that. >> no, no, sir, we're not. i want to ask you about the winning day for jared kushner. yesterday, i said this is the best day in the trump presidency that they moved forward with prison reform. it's something jared claimed he was going to do. they actually made progress yesterday. jared getting full security clearance, how big of a deal is that? >> you know, that may well be significant, because it's hard to imagine that if jared kushner was still in mueller's sights and they still had stuff on him, the fbi would have ahowllowed t security clearance. it's based on an fbi report. full information. if there was stuff in there that was a barrier to him getting a security clearance, it would have been really tough for the white house to get it.

people then observe the different ways the narrative changes. so, how did you find the film?eally interesting. did it make you think about your relationship with technology? for me, yeah, and also, like, a little bit about, you know, like, society, about, like, people not thinking about what they are doing. i always prefer having an artist picking a message for me and then it does whatever it does to me, rather than me making my own message. it feels like i would be living in my own bubble. i would like the artist to pick the film for me. i don't want to live inside my bubble any more than i already do. it's a bit scary, isn't it? it is a bit scary, yeah. it's a bit scary. what my endgame really is, just to ask people to consider critically the technology that we use and why it is being used in that way. the moment has its world premiere at sheffield doc/fest onjune 7. and after that, the caravan will hit the road across the uk. ah, the royal wedding — a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity to see history unfold, drink pimms, and spot the stars. so many faces to see. so many storie

he's decided that's the the narrative he wants to pursue, you know?weeted with spies or informants as the democrats like to call them because it sounds less sinister, but it's not. all over my pam cane, even from the very early date, why didn't the crooked highest levels of the fbi or justice contact me to tell me of the phony russian problem? should he received a phone call on the phony russia problem? >> he should have. a supply, a mole, strictly for political purposes against a political rivalry figure. and then, no, no, no. it is kind of funny. it's a moot court in law school, seriously. one side gets up to make an argument and the other side gets up to make their argument. if an informant as many experts said was speaking to people in the trump campaign, that should be examined and looked at to figure out what aboutly what the committees are doing and what is going on. >> a lot of back and forth. i want to play for you what was said about robert mueller. >> you hear the criminal defense lawyers say, and i understand the perspective fully. he shou

the president trump is pushing a counter narrative and conspiracy theory attacking the fbi. just how far is he willing to go to defend himself? >>> one of the president's targets, former intelligence director james clapper. he will join me for his response and how exactly the fbi was involved in the 2016 campaign. >>> and a new danger for residents in hawaii. molten lava creating highly explosive methane gas. latest on the eruption and new dangers ahead. >>> welcome to "the lead," i'm jake tapper. we begin with the politics lead and president trump pushing a new conspiracy theory, one grounded more in suspicion and his desire for a counter narrative than based on established facts. tweeting, in one of his five tweets today on the subject of this confidential fbi source who spoke with three trump campaign members in 2016, quote, spygate could be one of the biggest political scandals in history and he went on to say this -- >> [ inaudible question ]. >> just look at the basics and you'll see, it looks like a very serious event. >> well, we have looked at the basics. what we kn

optimism from ukraine's leaders tonight yeah it's amazing the two you know completely opposite narratives that we've got in this story tonight our nick connelly on the story for us in kiev and really sure we're on the story in moscow the both of you you thank. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a senior north korean official is in new york for talks on salvaging a possible summit between kim jong il and us president. last week trump canceled a meeting set for june twelfth in singapore but now the white house says it expects that summit to go ahead. staying with the u.s. president donald trump has signed legislation that makes it possible for gravely ill patients to try experimental treatments supporters of the right to try it all say it offers hope for people facing terminal illnesses critics warn that patients may be exploited by sellers offering expensive and ineffective they are. european union officials have been holding last minute talks with u.s. trade officials in paris in an attempt to stop washington from imposing new tariffs the e.u.

optimism from ukraine's leaders tonight yeah it's amazing the two you know completely opposite narratives that we've got in this story tonight our nick connelly on the story for us in kiev and really sure when on the story in moscow the both of you thank you. but here's some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world european union officials have been holding last minute talks with u.s. trade officials in paris in an attempt to stop washington from imposing new terrorists the e.u. has threatened to retaliate if the u.s. imposes the tariffs on european steel and i would many the trump administration is expected to announce its decision on friday. so-called islamic state has claimed responsibility for an attack on the afghan interior ministry that left one policeman dead a ministry spokesman said the raid had been thwarted and seven attackers killed a series of deadly attacks in kabul this year has killed and wounded hundreds of people greek labor unions called a twenty four hour general strike until demonstrations in many cities to protest planned new all sterile measu

the narrative is called white backlash. and white backlash becomes the master narrative for what is happening with the civil rights movement, and part of that narrative is to ask a rhetorical question. although we have sympathy for the grievances of black people, are they going about it the right way? so, we sympathize with your grievances, but we're not sure you are going about it the right way. and along with that, the question is, well, maybe you are asking for too much, too soon, push too far,to too fast, so there is this skepticism and ambivalence in the media. and i would add that by the time we get to 1967, martin luther king publicly denounces the war in vietnam. at that moment, the reaction is that he is a traitor to his country, maybe he is a communist dupe or sympathizer, and he is a troublemaker. and so the last year of his life, martin luther king is reviled as a traitor to his country. and yes, now he has the poor people's campaign, he's talking about poverty, but he is in the doghouse. and then he gets assass

we are sign of the times, donald trump and conservatives drive the negative narrative.ublican party is in civil war with itself. there are some moderate republicans and some hard-core right republicans. i can't tell you why they are not being asked to speak at commencement but this narrative, this country is changing them all three houses are controlled by republicans and it is troublesome. your clips that you ran, was there any observation made by any of those speakers that was inaccurate? i would think not. this link in front of us. the other thing is graduations are very positive, about family, high achievement and what the future should look like. think of conservatives and republicans of donald trump do you think about anything positive he could say from a leadership standpoint? he drives a negative narrative that plays into this. >> us ambassador to the un the key haley was the featured speaker at clemson and susan collins spoke at colby college, women of our, does that work for you? >> that is a good start but this isn't about donald trump or any of those things.

the bulls are losing control of the narrative. look at the s&p 500 for the year here ever since we hit the high in early january, put that up here. we've been in what's called a descending t ining try angle. this is lower highs here technicians go nuts because easily you can just break through that on the bottom there's not a lot of support there. that's a major issue for the markets. so the question now is can the bulls regain control of the narrative. and see what's going on. so they're very happy, the fact we held the 200-day moving average. the fed today say inflation should stabilize around 2% now they're hoping that the jobs report, stable numbers around 195,000. not too hot, not too cold will stabilize the market right now here's the problem losing control of this narrative is what i was talking about. take a look at this quickly here remember when we were talking about earnings going to be great. now instead of higher earnings, they're talking about peak earnings that's a change in the narrative. now instead of global sync

i would just say isn't it important to provide a counter point to that narrative.he's the lawyer representing stormy daniels. the president's representative should speak out more as well. >> it east michael cohen under investigation on these points. let me get a brooke. there is a rumor that the first lady is not living in the white house. also a white house official with failing health is mr. elliot, what's your wifi password? wifi? wifi's ordinary. basic. do i look basic? nope! which is why i have xfinity xfi. it's super fast and you can control every device in the house. [ child offscreen ] hey! let's basement. and thanks to these xfi pods, the signal reaches down here, too. so sophie, i have an xfi password, and it's "daditude". simple. easy. awesome. xfinity. the future of awesome. >>> john mccain is battling brain cancer. saddler made a crack about him not backing the cia director. she said it doesn't matter, he's dying any way. fox banned this guy for saying this for saying he suffered torture as a pow. >> the fact is it worked on john. that's why they call

but i can tell you for a fact that telling those stories, today the narrative is starting to shift. can't give up hope. robert: and it's a tough thing because, you know, in a way, you're bringing up situations that people can relate to because they're affecting almost everybody in every community, and, yet you have to make sure that people understand that there's that cultural edge to everything that you're talking about that influences the situations you're talking about, and, in a way, it makes it a more interesting story, right? protima: right, and, you know, thank you for saying "cultural edge," because that's another piece of the way the work that i did played an important role in informing the outcome of my work when i'm in front of a policy maker, when i'm in front of a judge, making sure that they understand that this is also part of the narrative, and bringing the culture in a way that you connect it to the work, not just saying "culture," but actually bringing the story that tells how culture has influenced this barrier. robert: well, congratulations. i know you don't do i

> i wonder, as you listen to his speech and juxtapose with what you're hearing today, what's the narrative he's trying to push forward here? in other words, if he's trying to draw attention away from talking about stormy daniels and this payment and michael cohen and his newest lawyer rudy giuliani, what does he want to be talking about at this point? >> reporter: well, the president i think it can be said when he gives these kind of speeches, he sort of frames them in this them versus us narrative. up heard h you heard him say people who wrote up the nation's immigration laws, name lily democrats, didn't care much about the country. he was joined on stage by a candidate who is trying to unseat shared brown. the president views the control of both houses of congress as an existential threat to his presidency. that's one of the reasons why week in and week out you see him in dallas and now in ohio. he's going to continue doing that heading into the november election. he's going to get out and try to move the vote. >> the candidate you just mentioned there sitting to the president's right, s

the president also knows any narrative is living breathing entity.e has to feed that narrative if people are going to continue to buy into it and believe it. so i think he's aware of that with regard to those on his base and also with the investigation, he's changing his strategy. there was a time he was subtle on attacking the process the fbi and the intelligence community is going through. but that's become very direct now. this particular individual, unfortunately, is a victim of president. and if he's got mueller, if he's got other individuals who are part of this investigation, he has no problem adding another one. >> he was chairman of the house intelligence communities. we learned that jared kushner's security clearance has now been fully restored. yesterday the president sign adsecurity clearance reform bill that expressed some concerns about instead of vetoing this message within the state, the president says it's within his authority to ultimately control who has access to classified information. as someone who has studied this over many ye

jesse: you have had two competing narratives. on the one side, donald trump is a cleared and on strucker of justice and he was in cahoots with the russians. the presidency you have had a lot of people reporting and it turns out to be true now that the department of justice and the fbi under president obama rigged the investigation for hillary and turned the screws to trump. now it looks like in a corrupt and illegal way. and the facts are out now. the facts belong on this side. >> 100%. this has been a much more recent narrative than the other. they have been looking at the other one for over two years. i took a 2. >> -minute -- i took a 20-minute meeting. but they needed it to be true because they staked their entire credibility. their whole narrative is now we can keep going. jesse: what does this do to the media's credibility which wasn't high to begin with. what does it do? >> it gets rid of the notion there is any objectivity. i can say that for both sides. jesse: except "watters world." fair and balanced. >> it's news enter

it didn't fit their narrative about this president and the border. that means to me they didn't care about the story about the migrant children it didn't fit the political narrative. you see that with schiff and swalwell. it's the same thing, attack, attack, divert and deflect. all those anchors should be asking a simple yes why do you come on tv almost every single day russia investigation. dossier let's enjoy a fancy french word for junk and bunk. come on here and bark and is that correct al --snark about t. he won't be diverted or discouraged doing things on behalf of the american people. people. we are more secure and prosperous because of him. pete: he is certainly not deterred. one quick reaction from you. michelle wolf, we saw her at the white house correspondents dinner she is back at it has a new show where she doubles down on that. saying i'm not attacking her. i'm attacking her personality. brian: she says she has a ugly personality meaning sarah huckabee sanders. >> not even -- i hardly saw that all you can talk about is sarah. i love wor

the corrupt mainstream media loves to push that narrative,

donald trump and conservatives drive this negative narrative.war with itself. there are some moderate republicans. there are some hard-core right republicans. i can't tell you why they are not being asked to speak at commitments, but this narrative, this country is changing, all three houses are controlled by republicans. and i will be honest with you, it's troublesome. your clips that you ran, was there anything, any observation made by any of those speakers that was inaccurate? i would think not because it's playing out in front of us. and the other thing is this, i think graduations are very positive, they are about family, high achievement and what their future should look like. you think about the conservatives in the republicans and donald trump and his administration, do you really think about anything that's positive, something positive he could say from a leader at leadership standpoint? he drives a very negative narrative and i think that plays into this. >> mike: our crack research team from the u.s. ambassador to the when nikki haley

jeff: we can create a narrative around anything. to connect any sequence of facts we can create any narrative. host: how do you focus that throughout the organization when you have that many layers? jeff: it is a little bit different than the way "the black swan" talks about anecdotes. i am a big fan of anecdotes in business. not necessarily building and anecdotal structure around them. i still have it emailer dress that customers can write to, i see most of those emails, i don't answer very many of them anymore but i see them, and i forward them, some of them, the ones that catch my curiosity, i forward them to the executives in charge of that area with a question mark. and that question mark is shorthand for, can you look into this, why is this happening, what is going on? and we have tons of metrics. we have weekly business reviews with these metrics, and we know so many things about customers and whether we are delivering on time, whether the packages have too much air in them and wasteful packaging, so we have so many metrics t

there is not bit of evidence under the year of the if counsel to support that narrative and yet we are talking about collusion between the fbi and the russian. we are looking at collusion between the deep state and the u.s. intelligence committee and specifically the fbi and department of justify and the democrat national committee and funding the fraudulent dossier in the center of it all. >> i feel like i am in the movie groundhog day. 15 months or so sarah carter said no evidence of collusion. if you read the paragraphs, 15 months to date, there is no colupgz. and there is a recurring theme. yes, russia meddled in the election and there will be a debate on whether they cared for donald trump or not. and there are facts to support that. and i cannot've can understand them coming to the conclusion. there is one conclusion in the picture. to this date donald trump has not colluded with russia. there are other important issues in this case. >> there is a nation to govern and a government under assault daily from the deep state and the left and the dems. it is time for somebody as we con

it's shattered that, like, false narrative.orthy of celebration, worthy of being disseminated. it's proving that black narratives are profitable. >> it's just a film that's broken boundaries and broken so many walls that's been up for years, that people may have thought could never be, you know, taken down. >> "black panther" has already changed the game in hollywood. and for countless fans around the globe, it also signals a major cultural shift. >> i had a conversation with a woman in london and she was thanking me for the movie. she was talking to me about how she has to heal some wounds about her connection to her heritage. that to me is at the core of what great storytelling can do, is when it can actually help people face things that bring them to a greater place in themselves. >> after watching "black panther," it made me think back to like what would my 10-year-old self, what impact would it have made on me if i watched something like this. it would have inspired me to dream bigger. >> this movie has gone on to break a

it just ended up being like self-help end it didn't feel narrative. so i just kept at it and i would write it for whoever would take it not until i went to a prison program in california i met people who were in a domestic violence program in this prison and i realized nobody was talking to the victims but we don't treat the seed of the problem so that really stuck with me that people talk about the victims being stock but we don't ever talk about the perpetrators being stuck. so i guess i saw that as a way in and went back to the prison again and again that would never happen in the midwest but i began to talk to these guys and they gained a sense of their own emotional complexity because i would have these gang bangers say things like i was hanging with my always want --dash with my man and i called her a bench and then i realize that took away her sense of self. [laughter] and so then i realized that was the way to encompass this as a narrative as a way to turn off domestic violence. >> stephen kotkin was a hard to make this transition? [laughter]

of course, there's some utility in a collectivist narrative. the collectivist narrative , that i regard as politically correct is a strange pastiche of marxism. it's claim is no, you essentially are a member of the group. that group may be your ethnicity, sex, race or any of the endless numbers of other potential groups that you belong to because you belong to many of them. you should be categorized along with those who are like you and -- you on that dimension in that group. that is prepositioned number one. proposition number two is the proper way to view the world is as a battleground between two groups of power. you define the groups first and then you assume that you viewed the individual from the group context. you few the battle from the group context and you view history of health as a consequence of nothing but the power maneuvers between different groups. also, any idea -- for example , free speech. if you're collectivist at heart, there is no such thing as free speech. it is not that it is debated i by those on that radical left, it

they see that, say, oh, our narrative is essentially correct. what can the bulls do to regain control? the bears are resting control of this narrative away from them. here's three suggestions number one, s&p has to hold at 200 moving day average, about 30 points below where it is right now. number two, the feds going to report tomorrow, they have to sound dovish so everybody says, okay, well, at least not four, maybe three or three and a half, and then jobs report on friday, we expect 195, it's got to be right there. right in the middle, go too strong, say, oh, see, the feds raises too weak, they say growth is slowing. it's a tough situation this s&p move in the last hour or so, a lot of people attributing to to the fed drift move up, tendency for the market to lift 24 ohours before the fed reports. >> thank you very much for that, bob. investors consider the factors behind the pullback, outlook on stocks might be taking a hit as well let's bring in our senior economics reporter steve leisman with more. >> the bearishness showing up in the cnbc

what do those stories tell us and i think it helps us to better understand this narrative of what it means to be black in america. >> you can watch this other programs online at book tv.org. [inaudible conversations] >> good evening and welcome to the strand second-floor art department. i'm nancy. i'm the owner of the strand bookstore and for some history the strand was founded by my grandfather, benjamin-- benjamin bass and 9027 a block over in an area that was known as book row. it ran along fourth avenue and spain and from asked her place to union square. at its height it had 48 bookstores. in the 90 years since then all but one of those stores has shuttered leaving it be passed down to my father who recently died and now to me always to be kept in the bass family. tonight we are super excited to be hosting stacey abrams who's one of the most dynamic leaders in the country. having-- [applause]. having played a key role in the georgia state legislature, she is making history as the first african-american woman to run for governor in the state of georgia. my husband, us senator ron

and we have a department of justice that's trying to write a narrative that suggests the american people don't need to sight. i'm not seeing a lot of

, the political narrative are so far apart. >> host: the dod is involved in it. >> guest: one thing i like to do is find things you wouldn't know that make you smile. it would think the largest funder of breast cancer research in america is the u.s. army? there you are. our government dollars a work. >> host: what about medical records, electronic medical records? >> guest: electronic medical records are a difficult topic. the reason they are so difficult is the promise of electronic medical records is enormous. the reality is they are kind of useful. not captured is phony information that is for the benefit of insurance billing. not for the benefit of the actual healthy consumer or healthcare system. we really have electronic healthcare insurance records, not electronic medical records. >> let's hear from anthony in floral park with tim o'reilly. please go ahead. we are listening. >> caller: in the book you talk about how technology is kind of a bad thing and how -- did you touch yourself when you wrote the book? >> host: ignore him. a craig collar unfortunately. are we making leaps

this whole thing really plays into the russian narrative.oing forward, and in this case as well, they can always say, look, you have accused us before and this turned out to be this very strange, twisted plot. even going forward if there are some links that the ukrainian side presents in this case, russia will certainly use this whole foiled plot today, this whole twist of events to kind of show that the ukrainian side is not very legitimate. brent: emily, you cover this story on a daily basis. russia is constantly saying that there are plots around the world, particularly in the west, to discredit it. do you think that regardless of the arrests that are made by ukrainian officials that the kremlin is going to stay on this message and say that we had nothing to do with it? everything that has been reported is not true? emily: i mean, obviously brent i cannot say what they will say, but if i were to guess, i think they would likely stick to this plot. and i can only assure you that i have heard the words cited in all types of cases, from dopi

these people haven't even passed year one in journalism school and they have to maintain a narrative. it is like those 49 questions. those 49 questions are a mark of desperation. there is no case, there is no

mark: what is their narrative?ive these days is look, we don't control the north koreans, there's a lot of friction between beijing and pyongyang, and yes, there is, and kim jong-un generally does not like the chinese, he's a korean and for two millennia the koreans have been fighting the chinese. the border between china and north korea has moved hundreds of miles in both direction as koreans have fought chinese over two millennia. so yeah, but the point is kim is a vassel and we know that. we have proof positive this year because kim jong-un went to china two times in a row. at the end of march and went last week, and that is a real indication. because first of all, once kim went to china, xi jinping said, look, i'll go to pyongyang, and that's reciprocal. that's the way diplomacy works. uh-huh. we had two trips of kim to china in a row. mark: what does that indicate? >> the chinese control the north koreans, they understand the north koreans and don't expect obedience all the time. they allow the north koreans t

which shows that they don't want to know what julian assize knows they don't want to interrupt their narrative with with what could be fact almost no one in washington in the press corps will stand up and defend julian assange as a fellow journalist who is facing some of the harshest conditions any journalist in the west is facing because he embarrassed the u.s. government and he embarrassed the cia and we should also remember that there is no grand jury for julian aside for the d.n.c. hack or leak or whatever it was it only relates to the revelation of internal cia documents so this is a case that sets a precedent for the rest of the media and how other journalists will be treated if they reveal classified information and it seems like there's very little concern

to me it immediately struck me as being almost-- it changes the narrative very much, so i wrote a few columns of hush about it. i'd written about it critically before. i was never a huge fan of the soccer. i think it pioneered a lot of the more toxic trends in today's media, so they reach out to me in the late summer, early fall of 2016. he just said i read your stuff and i would like to get a drink sometime. so, we ended up connecting and independently i heard from him who had read a number of my other books, so we sort of had this other connection and then the fact that i was talking to both of them was number one, this very unusual set of circumstances and it than it allowed me to play one of them off the other and so nick was willing to talk to me about these things because peter was talking to me and peter kept talking to me because net was talking to me so both of them not only wanted their side to be heard, but i think both endlessly fascinated with the other which probably explain their conflict in a lot of ways. they are so similar and yet so different so part of i think what

he called these findings today old news he said that this was a media narrative that had actually already been around since the beginning and since two thousand and fourteen what is true is that an investigative team of journalists belling cat already had pointed towards this fifty third. brigade and so in that sense he's right but also this kind of plays into the russian narrative that we've seen all along russia has always denied being involved they've said that actually the airplane was shot down from a different town then the investigators found a town that's thirty kilometers away from that town and that was actually in territory controlled by ukraine so they've kind of pointed the finger at ukraine and the ukrainian army they also have throughout this investigation presented their own evidence including by the company. who actually kind of created those those book missiles made those books and they've also always question the investigation itself and have have said that it's not objective. reporting for us from moscow thank you emily. let's take a look now at some other stories maki

the trump team has to speak with a single narrative. it has to be put in writing. this is not the way to handle a complicated case. mr. giuliani may have a point, that is, motives are complicated. the money may have been paid for a variety of motives, to save embarrassment in the family, to help the campaign. it's a close case on whether or not there's any violation. of any election laws. if there are violations, they don't seem to be very substantial. if the president, for example, did pay and didn't report it, it's probably more likely the
