-I'm Seth.

These are our favorite jokes of the week.

Fox News host, Lou Dobbs, interviewed President Trump

last night and told Trump he is "one of the most loved

and respected Presidents in history."

I don't know about that,

but he's definitely in the top 45.

President Trump today claimed he has a better recollection

of his condolence call to the widow of the soldier

than she does, pointing to his head and saying,

"One of the great memories of all time."

Trump then added, "If you don't believe me,

ask my wife, Melatonin."

A new poll has found that 51% of Democrats

now have a favorable view

of former President George W. Bush.

And that makes sense. I'd also have a favorable view

of the flu if I suddenly found myself with the plague.

A protestor posing as a journalist threw Russian flags

at President Trump as he arrived at the Capitol today.

And this is weird -- Trump signed them and threw them back.

Red Lobster announced today that it will start delivering

its food in New York City through a partnership

with Grubhub, because if there's one thing

that will make discount seafood even better,

it's 20 minutes on the back of a bike.

Ivanka Trump Says American Workers Are The "Best", Still Has Her Products Made Overseas - Duration: 3:38.

Ivanka Trump absolutely loves, and respects, and admires American workers here in the United

States.

I know her actions don't necessarily show it, but her words, man, they absolutely come

through like she is in love with every worker here in the United States.

On Fox News recently, Ivanka Trump came out and said that American workers are the best.

They're the most innovative.

They're great.

They're creative, just a real great crop of workers we have here in the United States.

Here's some of the quotes she had from that interview.

"There's no group of people more innovated, more motivated, and more capable than American

workers, but there's got to be a level playing field here, and there's not a level playing

field.

The reality is, simplification of our tax code democratizes it."

Okay, so she suddenly went from talking about how great American workers were to the tax

code, pushing for tax reform that in no way is going to fix the plight of American workers

here in the United States.

She also threw out the fact that her dad, Donald Trump, the president, also believes

these things about American workers.

They're the best.

They're innovative.

They're capable.

They're creative.

They're motivated.

They're great.

Here's the problem.

Ivanka Trump does not have her goods for her clothing lines made here in the United States

by those great, capable, motivative, innovative workers that she loves to praise.

Donald Trump does not have his clothing line made here in the United States by those best

workers in the world.

No, all of those goods are made overseas.

Ivanka's goods are made in China where the factory actually pays workers half of what

workers in all of the other factories in the area make, so she is using about as close

to sweatshop labor as you can get while still operating within technically the realm of

the law, even though there's plenty of investigations going on into some of the shady practices

at that particular factory.

Ivanka Trump knows her audience on Fox News, and she knows that Fox News' audience is not

bright.

In fact, they're rather dull, and so she goes out there and says, "We believe in American

workers.

We believe you're the best," and those morons watching that program believe it.

They don't care or maybe they don't know that she has her goods made overseas because she

doesn't frigging care about you.

She doesn't care about the American worker.

She doesn't care how much they pay in taxes.

All she knows is that she wants to pay less in taxes.

She wants to pay people literally four dollars a day to make her goods.

That's what they're making at that factory, four dollars a day.

Until we start paying American workers four dollars a day she's still going to use overseas

labor because it's going to be cheaper and it's going to put more money in her slimy,

disgusting, filthy little pockets.

Ivanka Trump doesn't give a damn, but man, she sure is good at convincing those morons

who watch Fox News that she actually cares.

Trump Still Hasn't Released His Tax Returns, What's He Hiding? - Duration: 3:45.

It's been nearly a year since the disappointing election of November, 2016, where Donald Trump

secured enough electoral votes to be elected President of the United States.

In the 12 months that have essentially passed since Donald Trump won that electoral vote,

he still hasn't released his tax returns to the United States public.

At every opportunity, Republicans in Washington, D.C. in the House and Senate have voted to

shield his tax returns from being released to the public.

Trump has said the reason he didn't release them is because he was under audit and he's

not allowed to.

That's not true.

You can absolutely release your tax returns if you're being investigated by the IRS, if

there's an auditor, if there's anything going on.

You can always release them.

The IRS has made it perfectly clear that they're not the ones holding up Donald Trump from

releasing his tax returns.

Why, after 12 months past the election, are we still talking about this?

Because it's still an issue.

Transparency is very important in the federal government and if we don't have that, it just

leads to wild speculation.

For example, we do know somebody who has gotten his hands on at least part of Donald Trump's

tax returns that the rest of the United States public hasn't had access to, and that person

is Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.

Mueller recently met with officials within the IRS to go ahead and get his hands on some

of those Donald Trump financial records that the rest of us are just dying to see, because

he believes that there is some evidence of criminal wrongdoing within those financial

statements.

To be perfectly honest with you, there is not a single part of me that doesn't believe

that the reason we haven't seen those tax returns is because they hold the key to bringing

down the Trump Administration.

I firmly believe if we saw those financial statements, if we saw those tax returns, there

would be ample evidence within there to bring down the Trump Administration and put Donald

Trump in prison.

Why do I believe that?

First of all, because he's adamant about hiding them.

Talk to any police officer and they're probably going to tell you the same time.

It's a mantra that most of them go by, only the guilty hide.

That is exactly what Donald Trump is doing right now.

He is hiding those tax returns because there is obviously something in there he does not

want us to see.

Maybe it's criminal activity, maybe it's something as simple as the fact that he's not worth

as much money as he told us he is and he's trying to protect his fragile male ego at

that point.

Whatever it is, he doesn't want us to know.

While it would be refreshing for him to release these tax returns, or for Republicans in D.C.

to stop shielding him from the Democrats who are trying to force the release of these tax

returns, what is comforting, at least to an extent, is knowing that the people investigating

the Trump Administration do have access to these tax returns.

I hope that they find whatever it is they're looking for in there so that we can finally

put an end to the Donald Trump nightmare here in the United States.

Trump Supporter Says In Lawsuit His MAGA Hat Is "Religious Symbol" - Duration: 5:16.

When most people think of religious symbols, we think of the Star of David, a cross, or

something like that, but according to some Republicans one of the most prominent spiritual

religious symbols here in the United States is that Make America Great Again red hat that

many of them have been sporting since the campaign of Donald Trump.

In fact, a lawsuit filed by a Philadelphia accountant, claims that his Make America Great

Again hat is in fact a religious symbol.

The suit arose over the fact that the man was wearing his MAGA hat in a bar in New York

City, and no, this is not a Ron White joke.

He was wearing the hat inside a bar in New York City where he was promptly kicked out

for wearing the hat.

I don't know necessarily the specifics, perhaps the owners of the bar did not like Donald

Trump, perhaps they viewed the hat more as a symbol of hate and oppression and so they

kicked the man out because he would not remove the hat, and now we have a lawsuit.

The lawyer for this accountant is claiming that his client's religious freedom was violated

because he was removed for wearing the MAGA hat.

Here is specifically, part of the argument that they're trying to make here.

It was pointed to previous instances where court has acknowledged the rights of parents

who refused to vaccinate their children because of their faith, that's one of the arguments

the lawyers made.

Wearing a MAGA hat and getting kicked out of a bar is apparently on par with parents

who do not vaccinate their children.

That doesn't make it a good fucking idea!

It's still pretty stupid at that point, and to compare a MAGA hat to unvaccinated kids,

I would say that's actually kind of spot on.

You're both dangerous to society here.

They also argued that the MAGA hat is an expression of closely held spiritual beliefs.

So, I guess, as far as spiritual beliefs go, if you believe in a higher power who may or

may not exist, we have no physical evidence that they exist, I can kind of see the similarities

there, between the people who support Donald Trump.

He may or may not have a brain, he may or may not have any intelligence to speak of,

and he may or may not do these things that they think he is capable of doing, much like

any unnamed deity that people worship.

See where I'm going with this?

This is one of the more ridiculous legal arguments that we have seen in quite a long time, because

there is nothing spiritual, there is nothing religious about a Make America Great Again

hat.

All it does is signal to the entire world around you, that you make very poor choices

when you go into a voting booth, and that you're probably too stupid to tie your own

shoes.

That, is what I think when I see somebody wearing a MAGA hat.

Am I going to discriminate against them?

No.

Am I going to try to help them cross the street because they'll probably end up getting hit

by traffic 'cause they're not very bright?

Absolutely.

We need to take care of people who obviously aren't bright enough to get along through

life on their own.

But to claim that it's some kind of religious belief or that it's akin to not vaccinating

your children, these arguments don't hold any water.

There's nothing spiritual about a hat that is actually shared ... become a symbol of

the Alt-Right, that was highly present at those Alt-Right white supremacist rallies.

That's not religious, that's not spiritual, and again, aren't Republicans the party that

are telling us that business owners have the right to discriminate?

They've literally been arguing that in court this year, so that Republican business owners

don't have to serve or make cakes for gay people.

So why would a bartender or bar owner in New York City not have the right to throw out

a guy wearing a MAGA hat?

'Cause if you ask me, based on all of the available evidence, the last thing you want

to do is have somebody in a MAGA hat getting all liquored up and possibly becoming violent,

because as we've seen, they do have a history of violence.

The MAGA hat is not a spiritual symbol.

If you want spirituality, go to church.

Go to a synagogue, go to a mosque.

Not a bar in New York City.

Not exactly the kind of house of worship that most people would think of, so I think this

religious argument they're trying to make about this MAGA hat, is going to fall flat

on its face.

President Trump calls the country's opioid crisis a public health emergency - Duration: 16:22.

ROBERT COSTA: Hello. I'm Robert Costa. And this is the Washington Week Extra.

The opioid crisis in the United States has killed more than 59,000 people in the last

year, and this week President Trump declared the rise of drug addiction a public health

emergency. He stopped short, however, of his August pledge to declare it a national

emergency, and he has yet to allocate any funding to combat the crisis.

What does this declaration of a public health emergency mean in the effort to stop the

opioid epidemic? Julie, that's the question.

JULIE PACE: It is the question. And we sent AP reporters out across the country to

a lot of these communities that have been really hard-hit by the opioid crisis.

The stories that they come back with are really just heart-wrenching.

And what they say is that they're quite pleased that the president and the first lady

have made this an issue that is at the forefront of this national debate.

I think President Trump really does feel this one personally.

He and the first lady have met with people who have been affected by this.

But over and over again, our reporters in the field heard that while they are happy that

there is attention focused on this, they were quite disappointed that there wasn't new

funding because money is not the answer completely here, but it is part of the problem.

Especially in these rural communities you have people who are separated physically from a

lot of treatment options, a lot of programs, and they have told our reporters that

putting more money into this effort, getting more treatment options on the ground where

people are living, is really crucial to addressing this.

It's a massive problem that's going to go on for quite some time.

ROBERT COSTA: The president talked a little bit about his own family and how he's seen

addiction up close.

JULIE PACE: Yeah, he talked about his brother. It's a story he's told a couple of

times, but it's not something he brings up that often. It is quite powerful.

He talks about the impact that seeing his brother's addiction had on him.

It made him decide not to drink, not to smoke, to pass that on to his children.

And again, I do think that this is an issue that you see him connecting with.

He's someone who has difficulty with empathy, really connecting with people who are in

difficult circumstances, but on this one you've seen him and Mrs. Trump really take this on.

I think it's an issue you are going to see him at least discussing quite a bit during his presidency.

ROBERT COSTA: Do we expect the funding, Ed?

ED O'KEEFE: I'll tell you, as Nancy Pelosi said yesterday when asked about it, show me

the money. There's nothing in the current budget proposal that would significantly raise it.

And while the White House may claim that they're working on plans to fund the money - or

to, you know, ask for the money, they have not produced that yet, and it doesn't appear

that many lawmakers up there are aware of it. But certainly that was one of the

criticisms I noticed, was great that you're doing this, but show us the money.

NANCY CORDES: And Democrats have pointed out that all of the Republican health care

plans that were put forward this summer would have dramatically cut Medicaid by almost a

trillion dollars, and Medicaid is often the first line of defense for a lot of these

opioid addicts. And you know, it's great to pour money into a 12-step program, but

you know, a lot of them have ongoing health needs that really can only be addressed

by their Medicaid coverage. And so, you know, to your point, what a lot of

Democrats have argued is, you know, if you're cutting Medicaid, you are, you

know, directly hurting the people that you're claiming you want to help.

ROBERT COSTA: We'll keep an eye on how that all unfolds.

And sticking with Capitol Hill, in the wake of a national discussion - and it is truly

national; more and more people are talking - about sexual harassment and assault, female

members of Congress are joining forces. Nancy, you've been tracking this on Capitol Hill.

NANCY CORDES: Yeah. So Jackie Speier, who's a five-term congresswoman from California,

put out a very moving video this week talking about facing harassment herself at a

young age on Capitol Hill back in the 1970s when she was a staffer to a member of Congress.

And she talked about the chief of staff coming up to her and sticking his tongue in her

mouth in his office, and the shame that she felt and the confusion and not knowing what

to do. And the reason that she told the story was because she, and other female members of

Congress who have talked about their own experiences this week, want to make it clear to

female staffers on the Hill that you should not feel ashamed, you should come forward if

something like this is happening to you and maybe happening to other women as well, and

also, secondarily, to draw attention to the fact that there is a very unusual system on

Capitol Hill that governs claims of sexual harassment. It's different from the rest of

the federal government. Essentially, if you want to file a complaint, you first need to

get 30 days of counseling. You then need to go through 30 days of mediation with the

person who you are accusing before you could move along in the system, file a formal

complaint, file a lawsuit, that kind of thing.

And so it really discourages a lot of victims from speaking out, and these women

lawmakers say that's something that has to change.

ED O'KEEFE: I covered this years ago when I was covering sort of government workers here

in Washington. It is a ridiculous system. And it makes you wonder how many people left

public service because something happened to them, and they figured getting out and

getting out of the way made more sense than trying to work their way through this labyrinth?

It's ridiculous, and one would hope that this will compel Congress to take it up.

ROBERT COSTA: And it seems like, Julie, in Washington - we saw Hollywood and journalism

this week are all dealing with different fallouts from this new national discussion.

And this national discussion was prompted by reporting - reporting which is so healthy to

now have people speaking out. Do you think the political orbit of D.C.

and perhaps even beyond D.C are going to see more talk of reform, more talk of people

just speaking about their experiences?

JULIE PACE: I certainly hope so. I think it's been a really amazing couple of weeks

to experience. The women who have come forward are so brave, the people who have come

forward who are named and unnamed, because - we were talking about this, actually,

earlier - some of these stories are from years ago, but you wonder if these

incidents were happening right now, would people have felt like they could come

forward? Would they have felt like they would have support?

You hope now that so much is out in the open, that there's been so much support given to

women who have come forward, that people will feel like they are able to go to their

employers, to go to their coworkers and put this out there.

I think the role of journalism has been just incredibly vital to give a platform, to put

this out there and to show that there is positive feedback, that there is support.

But it's that next step, what happens. Is there - what happens in these workplaces,

the Congress for example? I mean, Ed is right, that is ridiculous that that is the

policy on Capitol Hill and in the government right now.

PETER BAKER: It helps that the - for the first time in a lot of these incidents that

women recognize some of the women who have spoken out, right?

With the Harvey Weinstein case, they were recognizing Angelina Jolie, they recognize, you

know, Ashley Judd, they recognize Gwyneth Paltrow. These are people who are part of

our cultural conversation. And if people like that can go through what I go through,

I think a lot of people must be thinking, maybe I can say something too.

And it's a different culture. This is not a new issue. We saw, going back to Clarence

Thomas, obviously, Washington has been consumed with these issues at times over the years.

The difference is, rather than attacking the women, we're now seeing the women, you know,

having a much more sympathetic audience and a more empowering, I think, moment, where

people do feel the - you know, the ability to speak out, including on Capitol Hill.

ROBERT COSTA: Moving to on a different topic, it's been more than 50 years since

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. But for the first time,

some 2,800 previously-classified records have been released by the National Archives.

And while there isn't a smoking gun about a second shooter that conspiracy theorists have

long debated, there were some interesting revelations, including news about an anonymous

call made to a reporter in London about 30 minutes before the shooting. Some of the

super-secret details included some FBI and CIA files that are still classified because

of national security concerns, and WikiLeaks is offering a $100,000 reward for those

documents. Peter, what did we learn this week about one of America's darkest days?

PETER BAKER: Well, one of the things I think we learned again is sort of the context in

which it happens. If you go through these documents, they do sort of amplify and

underscore some of the themes and ideas that we've had about this case for a long time.

But they also remind us of the context in which it happened - in the Cold War intrigue,

spy versus spy, assassination plots and schemes and the mafia, some of which is real and

some of which is fanciful. And you know, Cuba loomed large in our imagination back then.

Cuba must have something to do with this because it's the main battleground of the Cold

War at this point. So why did Lee Harvey Oswald go to Mexico City and go talk to the

Cuban consulate there? What must be happening? So some of it may not be a smoking gun.

It may not necessarily solve the case for those who think the case is still unsolved, but

it adds to our broader understanding. But the real documents we're going to see that

might change our understanding are still kept secret.

Under law, they were all supposed to be released as of Thursday of this week.

President Trump, under the law, was allowed to basically withhold some, and he gave the

intelligence community another six months to review. He got a last-minute lobbying

campaign by the CIA and FBI. Oddly enough, 25 years didn't turn out to be enough time

for them to go through these documents. (Laughter.) They needed some more time.

And he said, fine, you're going to have six more months, but - you know, he said very

clearly - the predicate the presumption is for disclosure.

You have to make a pretty good case to get me to not put these out in six months.

JULIE PACE: And we're told he was pretty irritated about that last-minute lobbying push.

Trump actually wants these documents out. He's fascinated by this as much as we are.

I thought he sent a great tweet this week where he was almost talking about this as

though he was an observer, you know, waiting for the archives to put out the documents.

It's a fascinating piece of American history. And even though the documents that

came out yesterday don't have any bombshells, don't change exactly, you know, what

the history books have told us about this. I think the excitement around it, the

transparency that it's bringing to what transpired there, is great for our country.

It's fascinating.

NANCY CORDES: And can someone translate that Grassley tweet for me, about -

ROBERT COSTA: Explain. What are you talking about?

NANCY CORDES: (Laughs.) Well, I was having trouble understanding it myself today.

Grassley, you know, he was also irritated about the six-month delay and he said, you

know, you guys didn't have enough time, and you know, there was lots of all-caps.

(Laughter.) And you know, Grassley tweets are kind of always a work of art, but this one,

you know, was special today.

ED O'KEEFE: Yesterday the House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, had her weekly press

conference. And at the end I said, look, you've been receiving intelligence briefings

longer than any sitting lawmaker, because she was a member of the Intelligence

Committee, and now as a senior leader she still gets the classified briefings.

Has any CIA director or other intelligence official ever raised concerns with lawmakers

about the release of these documents? And she said no, never; we always focus on

operational stuff and current threats, but nobody has ever come to me and said that

they shouldn't be released or that there are issues with certain documents, so.

PETER BAKER: Well, and there are some of the documents they released yesterday, you're

wondering why on Earth did that take 50 years, right?

ED O'KEEFE: Exactly.

PETER BAKER: There's a memo about making the Secret Service and the FBI work better on

presidential protection, and the memo things - says things like we ought to have more

active verbs in this declaration and things like that.

So that makes you wonder why they kept these under wraps.

ROBERT COSTA: Let's end tonight where we began the show this week: Senator Jeff Flake's surprise

decision not to run for a second term. Ed, do Democrats have a chance of flipping this seat?

ED O'KEEFE: So I think they absolutely do.

Kyrsten Sinema is a moderate Democratic congresswoman from the Phoenix area.

She's served three terms, pretty moderate, pro-business voting record.

In talking to Republicans this week about the bad polling that Jeff Flake was seeing that

helped him decide that it was time to go, I asked three strategist types and Flake

directly today, did that polling show you a general election matchup against Sinema?

Yes, it did. Would you have won? Nobody said yes, which suggests that she's in

very good shape - would have been against him, and probably will be against whoever

else runs because their name ID across the state will be just as low as hers.

ROBERT COSTA: So you're saying Flake's decision in part may have been driven as much by

the threat of a primary challenge as it was by a general election threat.

ED O'KEEFE: Everyone said there was a bigger problem for him in the primary, but they

believed that he would be competitive and would have -

ROBERT COSTA: Who's going to run on the Republican side?

ED O'KEEFE: So that's still unclear. The one woman who is running is Kelli Ward.

She's a former state senator, ran against John McCain in the 2016 cycle, making a

generational and ideological argument. In the past year she had been making an

ideological argument against Flake, saying he's not loyal to the president, he's voted

with Democrats in the past. She's still in the race, but the state party is not uniting behind her.

You're going to see other members of Congress, sitting members of Congress - a woman

named Martha McSally, former Congressman Matt Salmon, and possibly a handful of others.

ROBERT COSTA: And State Senator Kelli Ward has Steve Bannon's support.

NANCY CORDES: Right, although, interestingly, a couple of Steve Bannon acolytes who were

working on her campaign actually left in recent weeks because -

ROBERT COSTA: What was that about?

NANCY CORDES: You know, it's a little bit unclear. Apparently, you know, they didn't

think that she was walking the walk, just talking the talk when it came to backing up

President Trump and his policies. And this is, again, something that really worries

Republicans, is that there is no amount of fidelity that is ever quite enough with this

Bannon crowd. And they're - you know, they do worry that even if you don't speak out

against the president, if you show the tiniest bit of daylight between yourself and

President Trump or yourself and Steve Bannon, you could very quickly find yourself

on the outs. So it's a little bit of a losing proposition. But I think it's

important to point out that part of the reason that Flake's approval ratings were so

low was because he started speaking out against President Trump a year ago and decided -

ROBERT COSTA: He even wrote a book about it.

NANCY CORDES: Wrote a book about it, decided not to endorse him.

And he knew what he was doing that entire time.

He knew that his popularity would take a hit if he did this, and he did it anyway.

ROBERT COSTA: Peter?

PETER BAKER: No, I think it's exactly right. And we'll be watching as a bellwether;

you know, will the Bannon wing, first of all, manage to capture the nomination with

either Kelli Ward or maybe somebody else who's like her?

And then, what is the cost in the fall?

As you mentioned earlier, you know, Mitch McConnell - or you mentioned earlier, sorry,

Mitch McConnell had already said candidates like these will lose us seats.

This is a seat they obviously cannot afford to lose if they want to keep a 52-vote - a

52-seat majority. A lot of money will be poured in there. And then waiting in the

wings is what happens with John McCain, obviously. He's ill and his seat at some

point, obviously, may be in play, and people will be watching for that one too.

JULIE PACE: Kelli Ward is basically the poster child for what Mitch McConnell was

talking about, the candidate who gets through the primary and ends up in the general

election and is simply not acceptable to most voters.

And the Sinema advisors would love for Kelli Ward to be that challenger.

You're going to see a lot of focus from more traditional Republicans trying to get

somebody else into that race and push Ward aside, because even people who have been

working around Ward right now and in that Bannon crowd are pretty realistic she's going

to have a rough road against Sinema if she makes it through to the general election.

ROBERT COSTA: And a lot of these primaries are not like Arizona.

You look at Tennessee, Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn.

She gets the support of some Bannon forces and the establishment GOP.

So how this all plays out in different states is going to be different in a lot of ways.

JULIE PACE: Absolutely. I mean, look, Republicans still have to put together a

coalition like anybody does. You can't win completely by being the sort of moderate,

business-minded Republican or completely being the Bannon-Trump candidate.

You have to be able to put together a coalition.

And I think that's why these races, while we are looking at them for patterns, while

we're looking for a trend in them, it's a little cliche to say in politics but it is true

these are local races. They're local and state races, and there are so many factors

that will go into play beyond what we're seeing play out at the national level.

ROBERT COSTA: We'll leave it there. That's it for this edition of the Washington

Week Extra. While you're online, take our Washington Week-ly News Quiz.

I'm Robert Costa. We'll see you next time.

It's Official! Trump Just Made History In BIG Announcement Made 10 Months Into His Presidency

– Congrats In Order.

Once again President Donald Trump makes history!

"Make America Great Again!" was not just a slogan!

Although our economy was supposed to grow at best at a 2.5% rate, and even though we

have had two devastating hurricanes, the economy went on to grow a whole 3% during the third

quarter of the fiscal year.

The Trump Administration also went on to add 1,405,000 jobs in their first eight months

of Trump presidency.

By contrast, Former President Barack Hussein Obama had lost 4,367,000 jobs in his first

eight months in office.

Not even CNBC could lie about this news:

First reading on third-quarter GDP up 3.0%, vs 2.5% rise expected.

The U.S. economy unexpectedly maintained a brisk pace of growth in the third quarter

as an increase in inventory investment, and a smaller trade deficit offset a hurricane-related

slowdown in consumer spending and a decline in construction.

Gross domestic product increased at a 3.0 percent annual rate in the July-September

period after expanding at a 3.1 percent pace in the second quarter, the Commerce Department

said on Friday.

The department said while it was impossible to estimate the overall impact of hurricanes

Harvey and Irma on third-quarter GDP, preliminary estimates showed that the back-to-back storms

had caused losses of $121.0 billion in privately owned fixed assets, and $10.4 billion in government-owned

fixed assets.

Harvey and Irma struck parts of Texas and Florida in late August and early September.

Hurricane Maria, which destroyed infrastructure in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, had

no impact on third-quarter GDP growth as the islands are not included in the United State's

national accounts.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the economy growing at a 2.5 percent pace

in the third quarter.

Excluding inventory investment, the economy grew at a 2.3 percent rate, slowing from the

second quarter's 2.9 percent pace.

With post-hurricane labor market, retail sales and industrial production data already showing

an acceleration in underlying economic activity, Friday's report will probably have no impact

on monetary policy in the near term.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen cautioned last month that economic growth in the third

quarter "will be held down" by the severe disruptions caused by the hurricanes.

The U.S. central bank is expected to increase interest rates for a third time this year

in December.

The economic recovery since the 2007-2009 recession is now in its eighth year and showing

little signs of fatigue.

The economy is being powered by a tightening labor market, which has largely maintained

a strong performance that started during former President Barack Obama's first term.

Though U.S. stocks have risen in anticipation of President Donald Trump's tax reform,

the administration has yet to enact any significant new economic policies.

Trump wants big tax cuts and fewer regulations to boost annual GDP growth to 3 percent.

Inventory boost.

Businesses accumulated inventories at a $35.8 billion pace in the third quarter in anticipation

of strong demand.

As a result, inventory investment contributed 0.73 percentage point to third-quarter GDP

growth, after adding just over a tenth of a percentage point to growth in the prior

period.

Exports increased at a 2.3 percent rate in the third quarter, while imports fell at a

0.8 percent pace.

That left a smaller trade deficit, leading to trade adding 0.41 percentage point to GDP

growth.

Trade has contributed to output for three quarters in a row.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, which hurt incomes and undercut retail sales in August, crimped

consumer spending in the third quarter.

Growth in consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the U.S. economy,

slowed to a 2.4 percent rate following a robust 3.3 percent pace in the second quarter.

The storms also weighed on investment in nonresidential structures like oil and gas wells.

Spending on mining exploration, wells and shafts grew at a 21.7 percent rate, decelerating

from the second-quarter's 116.3 percent pace.

As result, spending on residential structures fell at a 5.2 percent pace in the third quarter

after rising at a 7.0 percent rate in the second quarter.

Investment in home building, which was already undermined by land and labor shortages, also

took a hit from Harvey and Irma.

Spending on residential construction declined at a 6.0 percent rate, contracting for a second

straight quarter.

Business investment on equipment rose at an 8.6 percent rate, increasing for a fourth

straight quarter.

Government investment fell for a third straight quarter.

President Trump has delivered on every promise he has made.

The economy is back.

Illegals crossing our border is down by 74%.

The wall is being built.

Regulations are being destroyed.

All this without the help of the GOP or the Democrats, who are there to just stand in

his way every step of the way and put out lies about him and his administration.

Never did I dream that after 8 long dark years under the charlatan President Barack Hussein

Obama that we could be on track in less than a year.

We are now headed back to the America we were during the Reagan years.

The days when if you worked hard you could get ahead in life without help from the government

nor without the government impeding your progress.

It's Morning Again in America!

President Trump might very well go down as the best president in history.

And all it took was shunning interests on both sides of the aisle and doing what's

right for the American people.

Imagine after so many years of so many presidents doing what's right for every third world

two-bit cesspool, we have a president who actually cares Americans FIRST!

Shields and Brooks on Flake's Trump diatribe, confronting powerful men on sexual harassment - Duration: 14:01.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The rift in the Republican Party widened this week, as outgoing Senator

Jeff Flake of Arizona called on his party to stand up to President Trump, and House

Republicans aired their disagreements over a plan to overhaul the tax code.

That brings us to the analysis of Shields and Brooks.

That's syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks.

And, gentlemen, welcome to both of you.

So, we have spent much of this week examining, talking about that stunning speech, David,

that Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona gave on the Senate floor this week, where he essentially

took on the president and challenged his colleagues.

Let's first just listen to a short excerpt of that.

SEN.

JEFF FLAKE (R), Arizona: We must never regard as normal the regular and casual undermining

of our democratic norms and ideals.

We must never meekly accept the daily sundering of our country, the personal attacks, the

threats against principles, freedoms and institution, the flagrant disregard for truth and decency,

the reckless provocations most often for the pettiest and most personal reasons, reasons

having nothing whatsoever to do with the fortunes of the people that we have been elected to

serve.

JUDY WOODRUFF: That was Jeff Flake on the Senate floor.

David, what change -- what effect has that speech had?

DAVID BROOKS: Well, it sounded like a call to arms at the moment, but it's pretty clear

it was Appomattox in reality.

What Flake made clear is that you can't survive a Republican primary if you don't sound like

Donald Trump.

And whether with Flake leaving, Corker leaving, McCain sort of in the end -- toward the end

of his career, the Republicans who want have a political viability have to be Trumpian.

And so what you have is most of the Republicans saying, I may not like this guy privately,

I may worry about this guy, but this is my guy, I am going to support him.

And so this was really the week, I thought, something atmospheric shifted and Donald Trump,

and Steve Bannon really took control of the Republican Party.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Mark?

MARK SHIELDS: Yes, I think David is absolutely right, Judy, that the Republican Party is

the wholly owned subsidiary of Donald Trump at this point.

And the polls show it that Republican voters rate Donald Trump off the boards in high marks

and actually give negative marks to Republicans in Congress.

So, the choice has been made, it would seem.

And I thought that when Jeff Flake said the fragrant disregard for truth and decency,

and then Bob Corker, senator from Tennessee's indictment as well, they aren't philosophical

difference.

I mean, Bob Corker obviously talked about the danger of World War �MDNM�III and

Donald Trump's not coherent leadership, but they're an indictment of character.

And that's -- but for the other Republicans to remain silent on that, if that's the question,

if character is the question, then they just say, oh, we just want to worry about our own

reelection.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, let me ask you about that, David, because Jeff Flake went on to

say to his fellow Republicans, our children are watching, and he asked -- he said, what

are we going to do about that?

What are we going to do when the next generation asks us, how did we respond at this time,

in other words, saying they are complicit.

DAVID BROOKS: You know, I had some conversations with some Republican senators who support

Donald Trump, by and large, and I guess their argument is, well, you know, I really believe

in this tax cut, he's for that, we can get some economic policy passed.

When his administration calls my office to say who they want to be deputy secretary and

this and that, and I give them a name, they hire the person, so I have been able to have

some influence on the administration in that way.

And I grant, for some conservatives, Trump offers something, and maybe the administration

is hiring a lot of their former staffers in a way they think is good and influential.

But I guess I would say, your priorities are messed up, that if you are supporting Donald

Trump because he will get you a tax bill you like, you're putting money above morals.

And the character and the morals of the country and the social fabric of the country are more

important than whether the tax rate is 39.6 or 35.4.

And so -- and I would ask them to think about that.

I guess when I do make that point, a lot of the things I find outrageous about Donald

Trump's behavior, they seem kind of distant and they treat those things as unimportant.

They put sort of a vast distance between them and some of the daily fights and dishonesties

that I think characterize a lot of this president's behavior.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, Mark, are we talking about values here?

What does it come down to?

MARK SHIELDS: Well, I certainly think that's the way that Jeff Flake framed it.

It is a question of character.

It's destiny.

And I think the fact is, Judy, David mentioned tax cuts, and that's it.

That's the last stage out of Dodge for the Republicans.

They have failed at every turn in this Congress and in the Trump administration.

They have nothing to show.

They talk about Justice Gorsuch.

Fine.

But they really have nothing to show, no accomplishments with total Republican dominance of both the

Congress and the presidency.

So, this is it.

And this is the one thing that ties them together.

You know, it's shameless.

A party that talks so movingly about balancing the budget and not putting the burden on our

children and grandchildren, and adding $1.5 trillion, they voted to this week -- the president

pushed to do it -- and to the new debt over the next 10 years.

And, you know -- but this is it.

This is their last chance to say, we did something in this election.

And the key, the problem that Republicans are facing and a real confrontation is, the

FOX News poll showed that Republicans, if you could vote for -- had to vote for Congress

today, would you vote for a Democrat or Republican?

And by 50 to 35, people say they would vote for a Democrat.

And even in 19 -- yes, go ahead.

JUDY WOODRUFF: No, I was just going to say, so you're saying the Republicans have that

to worry about?

MARK SHIELDS: They have a general election in November of 2018 that they have to be scared

silly about, given those numbers in the FOX News poll.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, given that, David, and the fact so many Republicans are saying, we

need to work together to get something done, what are the prospects for tax reform, tax

cuts?

DAVID BROOKS: Well, I think they're pretty grim.

You know, they might be able to fall back to some sort of tax cut of something, maybe

the corporate tax rate or something like that, but getting some sort of big bill, where they

take on some of the deduction for local taxes, for the 401(k)s, there are pretty entrenched

interests.

And it takes a lot of political skill to get that kind of more comprehensive reform passed.

So I'm not particularly optimistic about that.

If I could just take one point that Mark made, and maybe go a little deeper, what's been

interesting to me -- and my colleague Tom Edsall has written about this -- is that the

nature of the party affiliation has changed in the last few years.

It's no longer really about ideology.

It's no longer about belief system.

It's about identity.

It's as if being, say, Pennsylvanian or an Italian American or a Jewish American, all

the things that people who used to form their identity about, those have all fallen away.

And now it's just, are you a Republican or a Democrat?

And that's become the primary identity marker for a lot of people.

And when you're like that, you will follow your president or your party leader absolutely

anywhere they're willing to go.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And where does that lead us, Mark?

MARK SHIELDS: Well, it leads us to, Judy, to -- there are 192 safe Republican House

seats right now.

They're considered safe by Nathan Gonzales, who is a great analyst and appeared on our

broadcast.

And in there, your election is not -- your concern is not nearly so much about November

2018, although it should be, because, right now, the outcome or the signs are dire, but

you're worried about the primary, and that's what you don't want.

Bob Corker in Tennessee was at 61 percent/21 percent favorable, 3-1 favorable in February

this year among Republican voters.

Criticized Donald Trump, and he's now at 37 percent/48 percent favorable among Republicans.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, a drop.

MARK SHIELDS: A drop of, what, 60 -- or 50 votes -- 50 percent.

So, that is what you're scared of if you're a Republican.

But you're terrified if you're going into the general election, because Donald Trump

is toxic, and he excites -- the excitement and intensity right now is on the part of

Democrats, rather than Republicans, heading into the next election.

JUDY WOODRUFF: But, David, to pick up on the point that -- where you stopped and I asked

Mark, where does it lead Republicans, if they are simply defining themselves by their party?

DAVID BROOKS: Well, it probably leads them in a 38 percent position, which is pretty

bad.

The only thing I would say is, I wouldn't underestimate the Democrats' ability to mess

this up.

One of the things we have seen across Western Europe is the complete collapse of center-left

parties.

People who were in the center-left are now going to green parties.

They're going to socialist parties.

They're going left.

And I think that's happening here, too.

And one of the things -- I assume that's going to happen.

And what you see is, it looks like the Republican Party is in crisis, but they're reasonably

strong on the state and local level.

But it could be that both parties are in crisis, which is what you do see in Britain and a

lot of countries around the world, just a decay of the party system as we know it.

MARK SHIELDS: Yes.

I think...

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, what are we going to end up with?

MARK SHIELDS: Well, in our country, where I guess I disagree with David is, a national

party is defined by its leader, the face of the leader.

You don't have a coherent national philosophy for a party until you nominate a presidential

nominee and probably elect a president.

So until the Democrats do that, they will not have an overarching message.

But, in 2018, all you have to be is the other guy, if there's great dissatisfaction.

Just to put the numbers in perspective, Judy, in 2010, when the Republicans picked up 63

House seats from the Democrats, won away 63 House seats, did the Republicans, the difference

in that generic of who would you rather have, a Democrat or Republican, was nine points.

It was nine points more Republican.

Today, it's 15 percent more Democrat.

So, that really is unsettling.

(CROSSTALK)

JUDY WOODRUFF: For Democrats.

MARK SHIELDS: That's right.

Yes.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Complete change -- go ahead.

DAVID BROOKS: It means they can't move because of the partisan alignment, so they're stuck

losing, but they can't be anything other than they are.

JUDY WOODRUFF: We're going to keep on talking about this into 2018.

I do want to change the subject, though, David, with what we -- the interview that I did a

few segments ago with Sheila Nevins, who's probably the most powerful woman in television

filmmaking, about her own experience with sexual harassment.

She said in that interview that she thinks the country has now -- is now going to change,

that men are not going to be able to get away anymore with what they have gotten away with

before now.

What do you think?

DAVID BROOKS: Well, I do think the norms have been steadily shifting over the decades.

But I thought the key point that she made is there's -- you can now, if you're a woman

and you have been harassed and oppressed, you can now join as a group.

The technology makes this a lot easier, and that you can come out -- because guys who

are harassing, it's not just one case.

It tends to be a lot of cases.

And so people can come out as a group.

They can find each other online.

And they can say, yes, this happened to all of us, and it's a lot more effective.

So, I don't think the norms have shifted.

The stuff that people are being accused, everybody knew that was awful.

But what is happening this week is, the punishments are coming down in a way that we have never

seen before.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Are things changing, Mark?

MARK SHIELDS: Oh, I think have changing dramatically and are changing dramatically.

Just imagine, 1991, Judy, when the Clarence Thomas hearings and Anita Hill case appeared.

That male Judiciary Committee was just -- shamed her, and were adversarial.

Just think if that testimony were given today by somebody of Anita Hill's credentials and

believability.

You would have to take it seriously.

I think women in position of power -- this is about abuse in these actions we hear.

It's cruelty, but, most of all, it's about power.

It's somehow that I can exercise power and that you're not another human being.

And until every man acknowledges that every woman is either his sister, his mother, his

daughter, his niece, his favorite child, then I'm afraid that this is considered a perk

by a number of powerful men.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, David, that's my question.

As long as men hold the vast majority of the powerful jobs in this country, powerful roles,

is anything really going to change?

I understand you're saying women can now speak up as a group, but they are still going to

be facing this.

DAVID BROOKS: Yes, the power dynamics will be what they are.

But this is not going to go away.

Abuse of women in -- around society is as old as time, because some men have some power

addiction.

They have a masochism.

Some men have an addiction to seduction, where they're always crudely coming on and sort

of driven by some sort of pathetic hole.

And so the idea that it's going to stop happening is not going to -- it's not going to stop.

It's just woven into some people's distorted natures.

But at least they can stop getting away with it.

And I do think that is becoming much and much more likely, that they will get caught.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we certainly hope that some things are changing for the better.

David Brooks, Mark Shields, thank you both.

MARK SHIELDS: Thank you, Judy.

This Week's Russia Round-Up - Duration: 5:04.

WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."

I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CITIZEN.

WELL, AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE ENERGY IN THE ROOM, IT'S FRIDAY.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE SAY ON FRIDAY: "LIGHT FUSE AND GET AWAY

QUICKLY."

ONE THING WE LEARNED THIS WEEK IS THAT THERE IS NO MORE

REPUBLICAN PARTY.

IT BELONGS TO DONALD TRUMP.

THE G.O.P. IS NOW THE GROSS ORANGE PILE.

( APPLAUSE ) BECAUSE HE'S GOT THEM, RIGHT?

HE'S GOT THE BALLS IN A LITTLE FELT SACK IN HIS POCKET.

TRUMP HAS FORCED OUT ANY MEANINGFUL OPPOSITION, AND

EVERYBODY ELSE IS FALLING IN LINE LIKE FRIGHTENED DUCKLINGS.

AS TRUMP TWEETED YESTERDAY, "DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE UNITY

WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!" AND I BELIEVE WE ACTUALLY HAVING

HIM SAYING IT ON FOOTAGE.

>> YOU UNDERESTIMATE THE.

>> UNITY.

>> OF THE DARK SIDE.

>> Stephen: BUT AMONG HIS ALLIES ARE OUR ENEMIES.

IT'S TIME FOR THIS WEEK'S RUSSIA ROUNDUP.

( APPLAUSE ) ♪ ♪ ♪

REMEMBER THE DOSSIER?

YOU GUYS REMEMBER THAT?

YEAH?

THE COLLECTION OF DIRT ON TRUMP'S RUSSIA CONNECTIONS?

WELL, IT'S IN THE NEWS AGAIN.

AND BEFORE YOU ASK-- NO, WE DON'T HAVE THE PEE-PEE TAPE.

YOU'LL KNOW WHEN WE DO.

( LAUGHTER ) IT WILL BE ON A LOOP.

BUT WE DID LEARN THIS WEEK THAT "THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN AND THE

D.N.C. PAID FOR THE RESEARCH THAT LED TO THE DOSSIER."

THAT IS A HUGE SCANDAL FOR OUR SITTING "NOT PRESIDENT."

SHE MIGHT BE UNPEACHED.

( LAUGHTER ) OF COURSE, DONALD TRUMP MADE A

BIG DEAL OF IT, RETWEETING A "FOX & FRIENDS" BULLETIN,

"CLINTON CAMPAIGN AND D.N.C.

PAID FOR RESEARCH THAT LED TO THE ANTI-TRUMP FAKE NEWS

DOSSIER.

THE VICTIM HERE IS THE PRESIDENT."

NO, NO, NO, SIR.

SIR, THE VICTIM, AS ALWAYS, IS THAT RUSSIAN MATTRESS.

YOU'RE FINE.

OKAY, SO THE DEMOCRATS PAID TO FIND DIRT ON THEIR OPPONENT,

AND THEY FOUND SOME.

AND HERE'S THE SCANDAL: THEY DIDN'T USE IT.

SHE LOST.

WHY DIDN'T YOU USE IT?

FORGET "STRONGER TOGETHER."

WHY WASN'T IT "STRONGER WITHOUT A RUSSIAN STOOGE WHO LOVES THE

PEE-PEE?" ( LAUGHTER )

( APPLAUSE ) AND-- IT'S GOT A RING TO IT.

IT'S GOT A "I LIKE IKE."

AND BEFORE THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN PAID A DIME, THIS OPPO RESEARCH

WAS ACTUALLY FUNDED BY AN UNKNOWN REPUBLICAN CLIENT DURING

THE G.O.P. PRIMARY.

NOW, WITH 17 REPUBLICANS RUNNING IN LAST YEAR'S PRIMARIES, IT

COULD HAVE BEEN ANYBODY-- JEB BUSH.

IT'S JEB BUSH.

( LAUGHTER ) NOW, TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE NOW

TRYING TO CLAIM THAT CLINTON FUNDING THE DOSSIER PROVES

TRUMP'S INNOCENCE SOMEHOW.

FOX NEWS EVEN WROTE THIS HEADLINE: "TRUMP RIPS CLINTON,

D.N.C.-RUSSIA COLLUSION REPORTS."

NO!

NO, THEY DID NOT COLLUDE WITH RUSSIA.

IF THEY PAID TO FIND OUT THAT TRUMP CLIEWLDED WITH RUSSIA,

THAT'S NOT COLLUSION.

THAT'S LIKE RUNNING A HEADLINE THAT SAYS, "TRUMP RIPS AL ROKER

FOR COLLUDING WITH HUMIDITY."

( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

NOW-- HE SEEMED ANGRY.

HE SEEMED REALLY ANGRY RIGHT THERE.

NOW, ONE OF THE WAYS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS ACCUSED OF COLLUDING

WITH THE RUSSIANS IS THAT THEY WANTED TO RELEASE DAMAGING

EMAILS WHICH WERE HACKED BY THE RUSSIANS AND GIVEN TO WIKILEAKS.

BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY OF THAT DURING THE CAMPAIGN,

RIGHT?

>> RUSSIA, IF YOU'RE LISTENING, I HOPE YOU'RE ABLE TO FIND THE

30,000 EMAILS THAT ARE MISSING.

>> Stephen: OKAY, THAT'S RUSSIA, BUT TRUMP NEVER SAID ANYTHING

ABOUT WIKILEAKS.

>> WIKILEAKS!

I LOVE WIKILEAKS.

OH, WE LOVE WIKILEAKS.

BOY, THEY HAVE REALLY WIKILEAKS!

BOY, I LOVE READING THOSE WIKILEAKS.

>> Stephen: OKAY, BUT THAT'S JUST LOCKER ROOM TALK.

THERE'S NO PROOF-- THERE'S ZERO PROOF THAT THEY TRIED TO TEAM UP

WITH JULIAN ASSANGE, OTHER THAN THIS:

"TRUMP DATA GURU: I TRIED TO TEAM UP WITH JULIAN ASSANGE."

BUT WHEN HE WAS ASKED ABOUT IT, WIKILEAKS FOUNDER AND MIKE PENCE

IN WITNESS PROTECTION, JULIAN ASSANGE, TWEETED, "I CAN CONFIRM

AN APPROACH-- PRIOR TO NOVEMBER LAST YEAR-- I CAN CONFIRM THAT

IT WAS REJECTED BY WIKILEAKS."

THAT'S RIGHT-- A FUGITIVE, WANTED BY THE C.I.A., TRAPPED IN

THE ECUADORIAN EMBASSY FOR FIVE YEARS, REJECTED AN OVERTURE FROM

WHAT COULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

"WHO'S THAT ON THE PHONE, DONALD TRUMP?

I'D RATHER GO TO GITMO."

Melania Stopped Her Speech To Turn The Crowd Saw The Chilling Thing Behind Her

thank you all for being here today it touches my heart to see the many

familiar faces of the people I have been lucky to get to know over the last few

months thank you for the time and strength it takes for each of you to

tell your stories we are here today because of your courage the opioid

epidemic is affected more than 2 million Americans nationwide and sadly the

number continues to rise we lost more than 175 Americans to overdoses every

day and millions more are struggling with addiction as many of you know

addiction affects children in many different ways and I have recently taken

a larger interest in what I can do to help file is epidemic

I have been participating in meetings and listening sessions and I have been

visiting with people who have been affected by this disease I want to take

a moment now to tell you what I have learned from the men and women on the

front lines of this epidemic donn hallman

talked to me about his son Garrett who took medication for ADHD and suffered

from depression and anxiety he explained that social media played a

part in his son's erratic moods and behaviors Garrett started to buy

synthetics opioids online and self medicated for his depression passing

away from an overdose just eight days before his 21st birthday Donn Hallman

taught me that the stigma of drug addiction must be normalized and talking

about it is the only way to do that coach David McGee talked about his

friend who become addicted after his pain medication were prescribed for

sports injury his friend died from an overdose and through his tragic loss

coach McKee taught me how important it is to educate kids athletes and parents

because his friend was not weak-minded in fact like so many of our kids today

he was competitive and strong-willed sabra gene color who is now in her 10th

year of recovery helped me learn that drug addiction is an effective disease

but with the proper support and medical attention a person can move on to live a

healthy and happy life we are so proud of you for all that you have overcome

Sabra and pray for you as you continue on this journey

had the honor of visiting Lily's place in West Virginia a Recovery Center for

infants born addicted to drugs I learned to help babies succeed we must

help their parents succeed by placing a priority of the whole family Lily's

place is giving infants the best opportunity to thrive because their

parents are being given the support and tools they need to succeed

I want to thank Rebecca Crowder and the staff at Lily's place for the heroic

efforts

I have learned so much from those brave enough to talk about this epidemic and I

know there are many more stories to tell but what I found to be the common theme

with all of these stories is that this can happen to any of us

drug addiction can take your friends neighbors or your family no state has

been spared and no demographic has been untouched which is why my husband and

his Demitri ministration has dedicated itself to combatting this health crisis

by using every resource available I'm so proud to support him today as he sees

this commitment true I look forward to continue my work on behalf of children

across the country and hope that citizens everywhere will join forces

with this administration to help and this health crisis thank you very much

of America thank you god bless you and God bless america

Perhaps President Donald Trump Is Actually A Dumb Liar With A Terrible Memory - Some News - Duration: 13:51.

(exiting instrumental music)

- Here's some news,

while enriching himself and associates

at the expense of people and the planet,

the president took some time to talk about himself,

and complain about the news and how everyone is lying

about him and then he lied about that

and other stuff in the process,

and you know some of it's small,

some of it's calculated and malicious

and some of it's because he just doesn't know

and it'll be like a mixture of a couple things he heard

then exaggerated and filtered

through his need to make it about himself,

and in addition to all of the things I just said

illustrating poor qualities of leadership,

they also acted as a distraction for a lot of the things

he doesn't want people to notice that are enriching himself

and associates at the expense of people and the planet.

And.

That's, the news.

We did it.

(exiting instrumental music)

Still here?

Alright, so here's some, more specific news,

the president voluntarily lied about calling almost

every fallen soldier's family,

causing the White House to scramble for the information

that would be required for when the president

starts making all those phone calls.

Then it was reported that he had an insensitive phone call

with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson

in which the president seemed to not know the soldier's name

and also allegedly told the wife,

"He knew what he signed up for...

"but when it happens, it hurts anyway,"

showing, this says empathy

but it should say, showing that he's bad at this,

and also showing he has a deeply disturbing view

of what soldiers sign up for.

As the Commander-In-Chief,

thinks his soldiers sign up to die.

Not great, especially considering he keeps teasing war

like it's a fun game for us all to play,

and thinks we should invade countries and take their oil.

- We should have said we'll help you,

but we want 50% of your oil.

- Anyway, the president was accused

of not knowing the soldier's name,

and thus took to Twitter to tell the people directly

that he knows the soldier's name by tweeting

"Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said

"to the wife of a soldier who died in action,

"and I have proof, sad!"

And I have been convinced

that he knows the name,

of the soldier,

and the wife,

and the Congresswoman.

Because of proof.

Sad.

This story continued until he finally snapped

and told everyone.

- No hesitation, one of the great memories of all time.

One of the great memories of all time.

- Or a GMOAT.

He's the proud owner of a GMOAT,

despite saying "I don't remember" 35 times

during his deposition for the case against Trump University,

a fraud university,

and despite declaring October 24th United Nations Day

even though it's been United Nations Day since 1948,

and despite saying under oath

he wouldn't recognize Felix Sater

if he were in the room with him right now,

despite Felix Sater being a Russian-linked mafia figure

who worked with the president

on several real estate projects,

has been photographed near him several times,

literally lived in Trump tower,

and was the one who wrote an email

to Trump's lawyer that read,

"Our boy can become president of the USA

"and we can engineer it.

"I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this,

"I will manage this process."

Or maybe, not despite of all that.

Probably because of it?

(exiting instrumental music)

But anyway, in the interest

of one of the great memories of all time, here's some news,

when this week Sarah Huckabee Sanders

said it's inappropriate to question a General,

even when that General is retired

and now the Chief of Staff for the White House

that you speak for, a GMOAT-haver

might remember when Donald Trump did exactly that,

and when John Kelly attacks Congresswoman Wilson

for making a speech honoring Americans

who died for the country about herself and money,

even though it turned out that's not what happened,

one can't help but agree with 4-Star General

and current White House Chief of Staff

for the Trump Administration, John Kelly,

that empty barrels make the most noise.

Or as daughter of local DC comic Mike Huckabee

and current Press Secretary for the Trump Administration

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said

"If you're able to make a sacred act like honoring

"American heroes about yourself, you're an empty barrel."

And then a GMOAT-haver might point to President Trump

on literally his first full day of office when he gave

a speech to the CIA in front of a wall representing

117 CIA employees who died in the line of duty.

- We had, it looked, honestly,

it looked like a million and a half people,

whatever it was, it was,

but it went all the way back to the Washington Monument.

I think we have the all-time record

in the history of Time Magazine.

Like if Tom Brady's on the cover,

it's one time because he won the Superbowl or something,

right? (laughing)

I've been on for 15 times this year.

I don't think that's a record, Mike,

that can ever be broken.

Do you agree with that?

Trust me, I'm like a smart person.

- He said, to the intelligence community,

in front of the wall, commemorating their fallen colleagues

10 days after comparing them to Nazis, in Nazi Germany,

and I'm not even gonna touch the Nazi thing.

Could.

But I won't.

What sparked this tweet, the CIA-is-Nazis tweet,

was the release of the now infamous Steele Dossier,

which alleges Trump's campaign colluded

with the Russian government during the 2016 election

via various channels and financial dealings.

It also alleges activities which make the president's

use of quotes around leak very interesting.

But it's back in the news, so.

(exiting instrumental music)

Here's some news, the Steele Dossier was funded

in part by bum bum bum,

the Democratic National Committee

and the Clinton campaign as opposition research,

which is a thing that all candidates do,

through private firms,

like the ones hired to produce the dossier.

They don't traditionally email people

connected to the Russian government and get emails back

saying, "I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this,"

but they do hire private firms to research opponents,

and even though the president wants to make a big art

of the deal out of this,

the news that the DNC funded some of it isn't news

because it was already widely known that the firm was hired

by a Republican donor in the Republican primary,

stopped paying when Trump got the nomination,

Democrats started picking up the bill, Steele came on,

Trump won, the Democrats stopped paying,

and Steele kept investigating

because he thought it was credible and important.

So it's weird the president keeps bringing up

the discredited dossier, which, first of all,

more like pisscredited, and also of all,

it's not been discredited, in fact,

many aspects of the dossier have been confirmed,

by other outlets, and by the intelligence community.

- I'm a very intelligent person.

- Uh-huh!

Speaking of that, another big story Trump and Sean Hannity

are yelling about now is the Uranium One deal

because Hillary Clinton was given millions by the Russian

government for 20% of our uranium, to use, for bombs.

Or, this is an old news story in which a Russian company

bought a 51% stake in a company merged

from South Africa-based Uranium One

and Canada-based UrAsia Energy,

and the transfer of ownership needed to be approved

by then-president Barack Hussein Obama as advised

by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States

which was made up of Hillary Clinton

and eight other cabinet members and of which the

Secretary of Treasury is the chairperson,

and the uranium is still in the United States, still here,

and is not allowed to be exported

because Uranium One doesn't have an NRC export license,

and the majority of the alleged quid pro quo donations

were made a year and a half

before Clinton was Secretary of State, and three years

after the donor sold his stake in the company.

Who knows, though, there might be something there.

But this story stemmed from opposition research

by Steve Bannon, some of it's been discredited,

not like Trump's lawyer discredited the dossier by proving

he'd never been to Prague by tweeting a picture

of the front of a passport, but you know, there were errors.

And the article that restarted this Uranium One talk

was written by pro-Trump,

weirdly pro-Michael Flynn, John Solomon,

who was the COO of Circa,

a media company loved by Sean Hannity that pushed

anonymous allegations against Trump's enemies

and was bought in 2015 by the pro-Trump Sinclair Group

which currently covers about 40% of American households

in drippy Trumpy propaganda

without you even knowing it or telling you.

Just how he likes it.

And this story was pushed by none other than Devin Nunes,

who you might remember recused himself

from Russia-related investigations

because he helped the president lie

about evidence of wire tapping of the president.

Devin Nunes, also happens to be the guy who helped break

the story about the dossier being funded by the DNC.

Busy guy, Devin.

Almost like you and the president and his buddy in state

media are doing a little, like, coordinated propaganda.

To, distract people.

- I'm a very intelligent person.

- Wow.

Maybe.

A little bit.

Although, he recently said that

after being asked if he should be more civil.

His answer to should you be more civil was that

he went to an Ivy League school and is very intelligent

but it's not a great answer to that question,

especially if you have a GMOAT,

because he transferred to that Ivy League school

in his junior year as a favor

from the admissions officer who is his brother's friend.

If you're an intelligent person you don't say you're

an intelligent person after being asked why you're uncivil.

The question was about why you're a bully.

You know, cause you're a bully.

Your wife is on an anti-bullying campaign along with

Betsy DeVos who thanks to my GMOAT I know has so far

rolled back protections for transgender students

and sexual assault survivors and students with disabilities,

and I wonder if a GMOAT could think of a good single moment

to represent bullying and the disabled and memory.

- Ah, I don't remember!

- Cool.

I knew we could do it.

- I'm a very intelligent person.

- I know.

As a fellow GMOAT-haver I remember you donated

your second quarter salary of $100,000

to the department of education, something you value,

but as a GMOAT-haver,

you also cut the education budget by millions.

But, GMOAT-wise I remember you said you'd donate your salary

which is nice but damn my GMOAT that's literally

what Hitler did and GMOAT gettin' me hard you also

slept next to Hitler's speeches and when asked about it

you asked, "Who told you about that?"

And then said, "Yeah but not Hitler's speeches,"

"my friend Marty gave me Mein Kampf,

"but it's okay because he's Jewish."

But your friend says, "No it wasn't Mein Kampf.

"It was My New Order, Hitler's speeches,"

and also he's not Jewish and then you brought it up again

later to say that if you had Hitler's speeches,

you wouldn't read them.

But, as an GMOAT,

I remember saying I wouldn't bring up Nazis.

Dang.

(exciting instrumental music)

Here's some news,

Republican Senator Jeff Flake gave a speech

about how Trump sucks, so,

welcome to the #Resist#ance and the #21st century.

Even though Flake basically said,

"Because I am no longer seeking reelection,

"I may now speak my mind.

"The things that I said are good, are, bad.

"You're welcome for my bravery."

And even though now that he's leaving, his seat is open,

and Bannon can get a far right

nationalist candidate in there instead.

And GMOATs might notice he has more than

a 90% voting alignment with Trump

and less than 12 hours after his brave speech,

his GMOAT (bleep) itself and he voted

to strip away consumers' rights to sue banks.

Good thing banks don't do crimes that cause problems

and then don't answer for it already.

Good thing, lies.

(exciting instrumental music)

He's so obviously a liar, and not a very intelligent person,

and doesn't know what he's doing, and is unhinged,

and doesn't have the people's best interest at heart,

and is just, he's just a liar.

Long history of it, lies all the time.

Little stuff like lying about his approval rating

which has been lower than 40% for 21 straight weeks

or big stuff like, "I will uphold the Constitution."

His lying is so obvious, and if you still support him,

sorry, you're just a, you're fascist,

or you're in a cult, maybe both.

It's, um, alarming.

But the one thing cults and fascist regimes

need to succeed above all else is a charismatic leader.

So even though (bleep) you Jeff Flake, fist shake,

the more and more people who acknowledge what a danger

he specifically is, the sooner we can get rid of him

and he can stop distracting us with his (bleep)

and, with Trump gone,

there will be an opening for a new charismatic leader.

And I'm not worried about that.

(exciting instrumental music)

Sorry, that was pretty bleak.

Fascism, cults.

So, to close, speaking of the Interior and parks,

to which the president donated his first quarter salary

and also from which cut millions of its budget,

here's some fun news.

You know how when you think of rich people in New York

who've been staples of the city for decades and allegedly

donate millions to charity all the time and are good people?

And how over all those years,

there'd be something named after them.

A park.

A park bench.

A street.

Something that's not a hotel built by them,

or steaks made by them, or a fake university made by them.

But there's not.

Except wait, thank you GMOAT, there literally is

a Donald J. Trump State Park in New York.

He bought the land for two million dollars

and tried to build a golf resort on it

and couldn't get the permits so he donated it

and wrote it off for $100 million and they tried to turn it

into a dog park but the buildings have asbestos in them.

Now, it just sits around looking like this.

Look at it.

Look at it.

Look at the metaphor for his brain and soul.

Greatest memory of all time.

Only I can fix it.

Look at me, the greatest park in the world.

That's his park.

He's the president.

His (bleep) park looks like that.

We're done.

(exciting instrumental music)

That's his park.

>> BILLIONAIRE PHILANTHROPIST AND ACTIVIST TOM STEYER IS BACK WITH AN

AD CALLING FOR DONALD TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT AND HE WANTED TO PUT ON

A PLACE WHERE HE KNEW THAT TRUMP WOULD SEE IT, AND SO OF COURSE HE

CHOSE FOX AND FRIENDS.

LET'S SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

>> HE HAS BROUGHT US TO THE BRINK OF NUCLEUS WERE, OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE TO

THE FBI, AND IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION HAS TAKEN MONEY

FROM FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND THREATENED TO SHUT DOWN NEWS

ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPORT THE TRUTH.

IF THAT ISN'T A CASE FOR IMPEACHMENT

AND REMOVING A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT,

THEN WHAT HAS OUR GOVERNMENT BECOME?

I AM TOM STEYER AND LIKE YOU I AM A

CITIZEN THAT WANTS TO DO SOMETHING.

IT IS WHY AM FINDING THIS EFFORT TO

RAISE OUR VOICES TOGETHER AND DEMAND

THAT ELECTED OFFICIALS TAKE A STAND ON IMPEACHMENT.

A REPUBLICAN

CONGRESS ONCE IMPEACHED A PRESIDENT

FOR FAR LESS AND TODAY PEOPLE IN CONGRESS AND HIS OWN ADMINISTRATION

KNOW THAT THIS PRESIDENT IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER WHO WAS MENTALLY

UNSTABLE AND ARMED WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

AND THEY DO NOTHING.

JOIN

US AND TELL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS THAT THEY HAVE A MORAL RESPONSE

ABILITY TO STOP DOING WHAT IS POLITICAL AND START DOING WHAT IS

RIGHT.

OUR COUNTRY DEPENDS ON IT.

>> IF YOU THOUGHT THE PRESIDENT MIGHT NOT HAVE SEEN THAT BECAUSE HE

WAS DOING SOME IMPORTANT GOVERNMENT STUFF, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING

ATTENTION THIS YEAR.

HE IMMEDIATELY TWEETED ABOUT IT.

IT IS A DIRECT

RESPONSE TO THE CHARGES ñ HE IS PUSHING FOR THAT AND IS I GUESS ABLE

TO.

I AM SURPRISED THAT FOX RAN THE AD IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I HAVE

RECENTLY READ THAT THERE AD REVENUE IS DOWN 17% SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT

THEY CAN BE LESS CHOOSY ABOUT THE

ADS, BUT FOX AND FRIENDS IS A POPULAR SHOW I THINK.

SO THEY

DECIDED TO RUN THAT NOW FOX AND

FRIENDS, THEIR AUDIENCE WAS NOT HAPPY.

THERE WERE TWEETS AND

COMMENTS ON THE ARTICLE SAYING THAT THEY HAD BEEN TAKEN OVER BY COMMIES

AND JEWS.

AND THAT THEY WERE JUST IN IT FOR

THE MONEY.

IF THERE IS ANYONE

WHO HAS EARNED FOR BETTER OR WORSE PROTECTION FROM THE CHARGE THAT THEY

ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY PRO-TRUMP, ISN'T IT FOX AND FRIENDS AT THIS

POINT?

THEY HAVEN'T DONE NOTHING BUT HELP AND PRAISE HIM FOR A YEAR BUT

THEY RUN THIS ONE AD AND PEOPLE ñ

>> I DON'T BELIEVE THEM ANYWAY.

THAT IS WHY THEY WERE ANGRY.

THEY WERE

PROBABLY LIKE THIS IS A BUBBLE, YOU

ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ALLOW DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS INTO THIS BUBBLE.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW RIGHT WING

CHANNELS.

NEWSMAX IS A 24 HOUR

CHANNEL, ALSO ONE AMERICA.

I WAS WATCHING IT YESTERDAY.

MAYBE THEY

ARE THE FRIENDS OF FOX AND FRIENDS?

IT MIGHT BE COOL IF THERE WAS A

CROSSOVER WITH THE ACTUAL SHOW

FRIENDS.

SOMEONE CAN WEB THAT TOGETHER.

LET'S HAVE STEVE DO SEE

DATING SOMEONE.

IF THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP PAYING OUT HOSTS OF SEXUAL

ASSAULTS AND HAVE TO SILENCE THEM.

YOU NEED THE MONEY, I GET IT.

BUT I

ACTUALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A PRETTY

EFFECTIVE AD.

HE IS CALM, THOSE BLUE EYES, THOSE STEEL BLUE EYES STARING

AT YOU AS THE CAMERA JUST SLOWLY PANS IN.

I JUST THOUGHT THE

MESSAGING COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.

I THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST LIKE DONALD, SEEK THERAPY.

WE KNOW YOU

NEED HELP, WE WANT TO HELP YOU.

STEP DOWN BUDDY.

YOU CAN GOLF EVERY DAY.

>> I WANT TO GET TO TOM STEYER'S MESSAGE AS WELL.

I ASSUME HE MEANS

THE MONEY THAT HE PUTS INTO

ELECTIONS WHICH IS NOT TRUE EITHER.

ANYWAYS SO I THINK THE STEYER AD IS

SMART IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

IT WAS SMART TO RUN IT ON FOX AND

FRIENDS TO GET IT UNDER TRUMP'S SKIN

WHO THEY KNOW CANNOT HELP HIMSELF.

>>WHICH IS A TACTIC JOHN OLIVER HAS USED A COUPLE OF TIMES.

REALLY WELL

PLAYED, I THINK IT WAS SUPERSMART.

AND STEYER IS VERY WEALTHY, HE IS A

PROGRESSIVE AND IS NOT LOOKING TO

TAKE THE MONEY HE USES AND CREATE BENEFITS FOR HIMSELF LIKE TAX CUTS.

HE IS NOT ARGUING FOR THAT.

SO IT IS NOT OUT OF SELF INTEREST.

EXCEPT FOR

THE FACT THAT THE MAIN MONEY HE

SPENDS IS TO HELP THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE.

I GUESS HE HAS A

CONFLICT OF INTEREST BECAUSE HE WANTS TO STAY ALIVE AND WANTS TO

HAVE GRANDKIDS ON HIS PLANET.

>> AND I PLAY DEVILS ADVOCATE?

I AGREE AND CERTAINLY HE IS FREE IF HE

WANTS TO PAY FOR AN AD.

CORPORATIONS DO IT ALL THE TIME.

BUT IT DOES MAKE

ME A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE THAT WE HAVE THIS CLASS OF PEOPLE, SOME OF

THEM ARE PROGRESSIVES WHO ARE SO WEALTHY THAT THEY CAN UNILATERALLY

JUST PRODUCE THESE POLITICAL ADS.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS EVEN ACCURATE,

BUT IT IS JUST MORE ADVERTISING COMING FROM THE DIRECT POINT OF VIEW

OF A BILLIONAIRE.

I AGREE WITH THIS

ONE, BUT THEY COULD BUY OUT ALL THE ADS.

>> YEAH, BILLIONAIRE VERSUS BILLIONAIRE.

BECAUSE OF THAT

SUBTITLE IN THE COMMERCIAL WE KNOW

HE IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN SO ñ THAT WAS MY FAVORITE PART.

I JUST LOVE

THAT.

>> LETS BE BALANCED HERE AND JOIN THE FRAY OF SLIGHT CRITICISMS HERE.

ONE IS AMERICAN CITIZEN LOOKED REALLY GOOFY.

TOTALLY AGREE.

HE

COULD'VE WRITTEN HOMO SAPIENS, HUMAN

BEING ñ WE KNOW.

IT'S A WAY OF SAYING NOT BILLIONAIRE, NOT RUNNING

FOR

OFFICE.

BUT LET'S KEEP IT REAL ONE DAY STEYER MIGHT RUN FOR OFFICE

BECAUSE HE IS A BILLIONAIRE.

IF HE'S GOING TO SIGN IT

RUN FOR OFFICE AND

A LOT OF PEOPLE SIGN THE PETITION

THEN GOOD.

OVERALL THERE IS NOT MANY PEOPLE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

IT IS

OKAY TO PUT HIS MESSAGE OUT.

IF HE WANTS TO SPEND ALL OF WHAT HE HAS ON

DOING GREAT THINGS INCLUDING THE MEDIA AND THE RIGHT ADS, I JUST WANT

TO PREVENT BILLIONAIRES FROM BEING ABLE TO BUY ELECTIONS.

BUT HERE

THERE IS NO ELECTION, HE IS NOT

TRYING TO INFLUENCE.

>>IT IS ISSUE ADVOCACY.

>> YES, AS OPPOSED TO VOTE FOR X NOT Y.

MY ONLY LAST TINY CRITICISM IS

SPEAK UP A LITTLE BIT.

>>I'M GLAD HE BROUGHT UP THE CRITICISM OF TRUMP'S

IRRESPONSIBILITY IN DEALING WITH

NORTH KOREA AND THE THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR.

IT IS LIKE ñ TO ME IT

SEEMS LIKE THERE IS ALMOST NO ANTIWAR MOVEMENT GOING ON.

WHEN IT

COMES TO WAR IT IS LIKE THERE IS

ALMOST NOTHING GOING ON.

JUST SAYING NORTH KOREA IS EVIL ñ NOW THEY ARE

ALREADY TALKING ABOUT TACTICAL MOVES.

IT IS TERRIFYING.

I'M GLAD HE

THREW THAT IN THERE.

IT SEEMS LIKE THAT IS NOT EVEN A CONVERSATION

THESE DAYS.

>>HOPEFULLY HE SCARED PEOPLE ABOUT THE THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR.

>> EVEN IF DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THERE AND IT IS BARACK OBAMA OR SOMEONE

WHO IS SEEN AS SAYING, MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE THE CAPACITY TO KILL

EVERY HUMAN THAT EXISTS.

>> WHAT I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO TRUMP IS HIS MENTAL

STABILITY IN REGARDS TO NORTH KOREA PARTICULARLY.

IMPEACHMENT, THAT IS

FINE AND A GOOD STRATEGY.

I THINK THE 25TH AMENDMENT SHOULD BE

INCREDIBLY RARE BUT THIS MIGHT BE AN INSTANCE WHERE WE SHOULD CONSIDER

USING IT.

WE EVEN HAVE A PETITION ON THAT.

BECAUSE HE MIGHT NOT BE STABLE

ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

AND I THINK HE IS A LITTLE

DANGER TO THE WORLD.

AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE SAYING THAT NOW.

NOW WE

HAVE REPUBLICAN SENATORS LIKE BOB

CORKER, JEFF FLAKE ñ ALSO GEORGE W. BUSH MAKING SPEECHES ABOUT HOW HE IS

NOT STABLE.

>> AND THAT IS COMING FROM GEORGE W. BUSH.

Putin the KINGMAKER: Donald Trump turning to RUSSIA to help US take down North Korea - Duration: 3:24.

Putin the KINGMAKER: Donald Trump turning to RUSSIA to help US take down North Korea

Vladimir Putin's regime is becoming the kingmaker as the knife-edge crisis worsens between Washington and Pyongyang. Russia is said to be increasingly becoming Kim Jong-un's preferred ally as China cracks down on North Korea.

US diplomats are reportedly being forced to seek out Putin – believing he can be more valuable than anyone in tackling Kim.

War fears have reached fever pitch in region as US General James Mattis warned of a massive military response as he visited the border of North Korea.

Kim has responded by promising to detonate a H-bomb over the Pacific, a move that could spark nuclear war.

"Russias going through the other way and hurting what were getting" Trump Russia has been calling for peace in the region, but has been accused of providing backdoor support for the regime.

Frosty relations also rage between the Kremlin and the White House as Putin is accused of fiddling with the US election. Washington's top envoy to North Korea Joseph Yun reportedly said he wants to increase ties with Moscow to tackle Kim.

Trump accused Putin of hurting US efforts to tackle North Korea – while at the same time praising China. The US president said: China is helping us and maybe Russias going through the other way and hurting what were getting.

I think we could have a good relationship. I think that the North Korean situation would be easier settled..

Russia shares a border with North Korea on its eastern frontier, and the two sides are traditionally strong allies. Putin himself met with Kim's father Kim Jong-il, and Russia supported the state during the Korean War.

Previously, Russia demanded the US stand down from North Korea as the Kremlin warned US escalation could spark war.

Moscow is reported to have hosted "back channel" talks between the US and North Korea at a disarmament conference.

Russia remains at odds with the US over hacking accusations as well as the war in Syria, the annexation of Crimea, and military build-ups in Baltic. Daily Star Online previously revealed which side Putin would take if the US attacked North Korea.
