officials contradicted some of his claims on key national security issues well they included syria north korea and presidents the president's assertion that the horizon is actively seeking to develop nuclear weapons will trump has often ridiculed his political rivals as well calling them radical and crooked it's a technique he used to great effect before he moved into the oval office but critics fear his language is changing the political debate and provoking violence especially in the age of social media out of fisher explains from washington. and the radical democrats president donald trump thinks nothing of attacking opponents using claims and nicknames to win political advantage is angry as presidents get to congress and the bureaucracy and reporters and their news organizations other presidents have not tried to deal agenda minus them and so i think that's an important difference because he wants to degrade them as institutions in october last year a number of pipe bombs were sent to a points of president trump a florida man a trump supporter has been charged with sending thirteen devices

there are the specific disagreements about syria and t iran and north korea. the bigger problem is also that this completely undercuts the president's narrative going all the wait back to 2016 that he was going to fix everything quickly and all his predecessors were stupid and these things were easy to solve. >> the real thing is not just the president, what he said today that they were misquoted. what we saw is what these intelligence chiefs late o s la. clearly, even though they brief the president regularly, this is our intelligence, this is what it shows, the president's mind has not changed. >> these are his people. they didn't fall from somewhere and just get those jobs. he replaced them with the people he -- >> earlier in the day, the president said i disagree with certain things they said. >> you would like to know -- >> hold your thought. there's more news we have to get to. millions of americans are forced indoors as a deadly deep freeze keeps much of the country in its icy grip. is there any relief in sight?

syria. it may be north korea. when he met with vladimir putin, they discussed the middle east. discussed syria and north korea. when -- if -- just this week -- it didn't get a lot of coverage, because kim jong-un, i guess, is not anonymous, but it's a major thing that secretary pompeo is continuing these talks to follow up on the singapore meeting and that kim jong-un has said he wants to denuclearize and that they're taking steps that way. we're already ahead of the game that way, christiane, because the vice president went to hawaii and received the remains of our brave men and women in battle from north korea. the three detainees are back here on american soil with their families. so, this is a president who has said he is open, if the conditions are right and they continue to not put america last or even second, to meet with different leaders. but let's be fair about all the trips he's had, all the bilateral meetings he's hosted here at the white house, all of the multilateral meetings that he has attended. his first trip in may of 2017 was -- the very first stop was to the

president trump today firing back, as you pointed out, on iran, on afghanistan, on isis, on syria, also on north korea. i think his tweets on north korea were among the most notable, andrea, because of course president trump had declared over the summer that the nuclear threat was over from north korea. now just weeks away from what we expect to be his second summit with kim jong-un, the president is lowering expectations in his series of tweets responding to his intelligence chiefs, saying, "time will tell what will happen with north korea." essentially saying, look, we believe ultimately this is the best track, but again, really trying to lower expectations. so it is a striking moment certainly, the fact that you have this significant divide on display yet again, andrea. >> and on north korea, let's play a little bit of dan coats, because what you've been pointing out, kristen, as well, on that one issue the president's tweets seem to be moderating his previous claims that they are denuclearizing. >> north korea will seek to retain its wmd capabilities and is unlikely to completely give up its nucle

so i actually think that the question of syria, afghanistan, north korea, all of these i issues, and these are the big issues for the secretary of defense, and i think that what it means is that in a case of shanahan, you know, by all accounts, he is an able manager, and the dep t, the deputy secretary does not have foreign experience or national security experience, and so i think that secretary pompeo is going to be taking on a lot more influence in this new arrangement, because the issues that you deal with at the cabnet level are not ones of procurement necessarily. they are issue about life and death, and using the military as an instrument of u.s. power. >> i want to go through some of the places in the world where we have, you know, pressing matters, and evelyn, i want to start with russia as somebody who ass a s assistans a -- who secretary to the secretary of defense, where do you think that president trump is going to have to do something about paul we whelan being taken? >> chris, i am disturbed by this because it has the scent of the tit-for-tat of the kremlin trying to g
