we thank you for speaking to us from tehran giving us reaction from there let's bring in steve clemons the editor at large for the hill he's joining us here on set hi steve nice to have you know with us with you as my guest from tehran who was just saying this is a logical decision making by trump himself what do you make of this looking at how do you know that you know it's clearly an escalation of circumstances it takes a tense situation it it does make it more fragile and so we'll have to see where this goes i think so far we've been dealing with the i.r.g.c. as a military arm what's not. just as it's also a sprawling business empire it has enormous assets inside iran and there are now risks for for any company that does business with those injuries and what we were doing and yes exactly there are lots of auto firms in europe and in japan that do quite a business a lot of business with these firms so they will now be at risk in ways they weren't before and the other kind of secret in our relationship with iran are non relationship with iran is that there's been implicit cooperation

all right steve clemons joining us from washington thank you so much for your time today to other news and huge crowds gathering in.

very much at all thank you that's alan fischer at the white house in a washington new center now steve clemons who was with smith a bit early editor at large for the hill. what i'm going to do steve that she's read you a few. of the lines which i'm seeing and they will discuss the common thread things like the report says there is some evidence that donald trump knew about mike flynn's call with the russian ambassador but the evidence was inconclusive that donald trump's written answers were considered to be inadequate and they considered a subpoena but decided not to pursue it and i could go on and on it seems to me that there is a lot of not enough evidence and we heard william barr so it's early it's perhaps not as conclusive as he might like to paint it it's more that there was not enough evidence to prove it why it was the. that is exactly right and that is what jerry navl or the chairman of the house judiciary committee is going to become the lead next investigator he's going to go into each one of those episodes and litigate that he's going to subpoena people he's going to bring them in

thank the hill and bob cusack for organizing today's event, congratulate the hill on britney on steve clemons as editor at large but also to thank the men and women that are here, our pilots and flight attendants for joining us this morning. we appreciate secretary pompeo for taking the time in his busy schedule to join us for what i know will be an informative, faceting conversation. i would also like to congratulate secretary pompeo on his recent one-year anniversary when he was sworn in at the state department. over the last year he's been a strong advocate for america's interest abroad and an important advisor to president trump. as bob said on the managing partner of the partnership for open and fair skies, a coalition that represents the three major u.s. airlines, delta, american, and united as one owe seven labor unions representing airline employees. you might wonder what could possibly bring these three airlines together, considering they are such fears competitors. and while yes, these airlines compete for our business every day of the year, there also united in their common belief

missed what he had to say but i'm short on the trunk will have plenty more to say on the situation steve clemons with us in washington state as i was saying the more we learn the less we know or at least we maybe don't actually know a lot more at this stage until someone from various people have a chance to go through it with the proverbial fine tooth comb. well look we're getting a gift that many of the comedy sketches that will be on saturday night live and throughout nighttime t.v. are soon going to get these ten episodes that muller looked at that attempted obstruction and begin to re-enact all of these this is going to provide filler for our political debate up until the next election and i find it fascinating because there is nothing we do as you just said we don't know a lot but both sides have a lot to rage about and because the attorney general and the deputy attorney general seemingly admitted to having a different view of legality than muller did in certain cases that's going to open up a debate that is deliberated in congress and deliberated in civil society but the other dimension o
