Trump news on Youtube Aug 24 2018

"I understood Michael Cohen very well.

Turned out he wasn't a very good lawyer, frankly."

'Fox & Friends' is typically known as being a safe space for

President Donald Trump — who is a regular viewer of the Fox News

morning show — but in an interview conducted at the

White House on Wednesday, Trump got a little pushback. Kind of.

During the interview which aired Thursday morning,

co-host Ainsley Earhardt pressed Trump, albeit rather lightly,

about his former attorney and "fixer" Michael Cohen who pled

guilty to eight financial crimes on Tuesday. Cohen's offences

included tax evasion and bank fraud as well committing

campaign violations by coordinating pay-offs to silence women

who claimed to have had sexual relationships with his former boss.

Earhardt asked Trump, "Did you direct him to make

these payments? Did you know about the payments?"

She asked Trump to explain Cohen's actions, which he did

by saying that he "made a good deal" for himself

and took the opportunity to "flip" and reduce a lesser sentence.

"Because he makes a better deal when he uses me, like everybody else."

He continued, "People make up stories...In all fairness to him,

most people are going to do that. It's called 'flipping',

and it almost ought to be illegal...They make up things,

and now they go from 10 years to they're a national hero."

Earhardt also set the stage for Trump to attack Jeff Sessions

when she told him that "a lot of people are frustrated"

with the Attorney General's Justice Department.

"I put an Arttorney General that never took control

of the Justice Department, Jeff Sessions.

Never took control of the Justice Department."

The interview then moved to the topic of Paul Manafort

who was also found guilty on Tuesday of eight financial crimes.

"I have great respect for what he's done in terms of what he's gone through."

Earhardt asked the president whether he's considering

pardoning Manafort and also asked him about

a potential Democratic effort in Congress to impeach him.

Back in the 'Fox & Friends' studio after the sit down was aired,

Earhardt framed the rationale for the interview in a positive light for the president.

Speaking to her co-hosts, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade,

who have both interviewed the president in the last few months,

Earhardt enthused,"I was so grateful that he sat down with us

after such a crazy news day, so we could hear his side of the story."

Asked about his war on the press, Trump said the media is not the

"enemy of the people." But, he said that 80 percent of the media is "fake news."

Trump Is 'In Deep' On Time Magazine's Latest Scathing Cover - Duration: 3:49.

 Time magazine depicted President Donald Trump as struggling to stay afloat on its latest cover ― and the image has a familiar feel

 For the publication's Sept. 3 issue, artist Tim O'Brien imagined Trump as treading water in the flooded Oval Office with the caption "In Deep," reported CNN

TIME  It was O'Brien's third in a series of pieces to chronicle the chaos enveloping the Trump White House

In February 2017, O'Brien marked Trump's first month in office with this "Nothing To See Here" cover: A post shared by TIME (@time) on Feb 16, 2017 at 6:15am PST  O'Brien later updated the concept for the April 2018 issue, titled "Stormy

" A post shared by TIME (@time) on Apr 12, 2018 at 5:00am PDT  "As the never-ending flood of breaking news washed over the White House, and the firings, the scandals and the general mayhem filled each news cycle, I felt the storm metaphor was as relevant as ever," O'Brien said four months ago

 Time's latest dig at the president followed Monday's conviction of Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort on eight charges and his former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen's guilty plea to bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance violations

 O'Brien's latest image was well received by many on Twitter: These three @TIME covers by Tim O'Brien over the past 18 months are pretty amazing

LOU DOBBS: CHINESE STATE MEDIA MOCKS TRUMP IN NEW VIDEO - Duration: 12:10.

this program is brought to you by progressive comparing more mixed

messaging from the radical dims Nancy Pelosi telling The Associated Press

today that impeaching President Trump is not a priority of her party that hasn't

stopped billionaire Tom Steyer from launching a media blitz about impeaching

the president Texas congressman Al Green also tweeting this morning about the

Constitution providing impeachment as a tool and in a statement today not to be

outdone good old Jerry Nadler says that Michael Cohen's guilty plea for campaign

finance violations directly implicates the president of a criminal conspiracy

really Jerry what crime in that conspiracy point to me a statute in the

criminal codes joining me now is Chris Farrell director of investigations and

research for Judicial Watch and I mean Chris it's not just Jerry Nadler but

today every time Lenny Davis opened his mouth he proved how

little he knows about the law he declared and pronounced the president

guilty of a crime without ever identifying a crime what do you make of

this well viewer warning ignore Lanny Davis period yeah I yet to see truth

come out of his mouth not for 20 years but you back up 20 years ago he was

lying and spinning about his former employer the Clintons

and frankly if you applied the Lanny Davis formula to the Clintons they would

be serving out their life sentences together in prison right now

so Lanny Davis is to be ignored gleefully and look the rest of the

hysteria they've been calling for impeachment since election night all

right this is there's no there's no nothing new here what's I think more

interesting with respect to the difference between the legal standard

and the political standard is that impeachment is a political process not a

legal process and so should the leadership change hands in the house

come November you will see 24/7 365 impeachment

hysteria and nothing but that but you know if you look at article 2 section 4

of the Constitution it's fairly broad gives a lot of latitude and discretion

but it does state it has to be for treason bribes high crimes and

misdemeanors well I I'm not even seeing a little piddly misdemeanor that would

be the equivalent of a jaywalking infraction right and while being tell

mr. Cohen that right so here's the problem when the full weight and force

of the Department of Justice and the FBI is targeted on you and you're under

there under the crosshairs they are right look they will do anything I'm not

overstating this the Department of Justice and the FBI will do anything to

get a conviction and so Cohen is Exhibit A all you have to do is the sort of

lanny davis magical transference of guilt by association and they have the

excuse they need to gin up the hysteria machine this is very grave stuff this is

a very serious you know in facts don't matter no it doesn't because because

overzealous prosecutors have no qualms about getting an accused to lie on their

behalf it's extortion it's bribery and sad to say as a lawyer myself I I hate

to see it happen but it happens all too often microstereo is they say we got 55

charges against you mr. Cohen you're gonna spend the rest of your life behind

bars you'll never see your wife and kids again but if you sign this paper

implicating the president in a non crime and will pretend it's a crime I will

give you three to five years and so you know Cohen didn't have the integrity or

the courage to actually do what was right and you know of course he's a con

man and a prodigious liar yeah and and it goes downhill from there because

they're gonna continue to apply pressure and they're going to try to embroider

and expand upon what he's already pled out to to the point where

it's unrecognizable what would normally be a fine I'll give you an example

Bill Clinton very famously wrote in the margin of a campaign memo from the

Democrats the text said hey we got to put aside a million dollars to pay FEC

fines and Clinton wrote in his own handwriting ugh ugh it was there was

foreknowledge that they were going to break campaign finance laws and they had

to put aside a million dollars cash and an account just to pay the fines right

all this transpired what were the consequences zero zero and of course

Barack Obama received two million in illegal donations just before the 2008

election had to pay a record I think three hundred seventy five thousand

dollars in fines for that but it's like a parking ticket yeah and the media

never accused him of crimes but Donald Trump's so much as sneezes or coughs and

and he is a violent criminal of some sort different president different

standards Chris Farrell always great to see it thanks very much thanks Greg be

sure to vote in tonight's poll do you believe the mana for convictions in a

Cohen guilty pleas would have ever occurred if the special counsel weren't

engaged in a full-fledged witch hunt against President Trump you can cast

your vote on twitter at lou dobbs and be sure to follow

Lou on Twitter at Lou Dobbs like him on Facebook follow him on Instagram at Lou

Dobbs tonight coming up next President Trump putting America first on trade we

are a country with unbelievable potential

we're like the big fat piggy bank that everybody wants to rob and we're not

gonna let him rob us anymore is that okay

we're not gonna let it rob a city China responding to the president's call

for fair trade by threatening the United States will talk about it with Gordon

Chang coming up next welcome back everyone I'm Greg Gard filling in for

lou dobbs chinese state media mocking president Trump over the u.s. trade

dispute with China in an english-language video an anchor thanks

president Trump for pointing out the need to wean off American goods like

bourbon and bacon and the video has since been removed from the network's

official YouTube and Twitter accounts well joining me now to talk about this

and a whole lot more Gordon Chang who is author of the coming collapse of China

Gordon great see it well thank you so much and you know the only reason why I

came here today was to get your autograph on my copy of your book well

I'll get yours on your book let's put it up on the screen number one New York

Times bestseller for three straight weeks the Russia hoax the illicit scheme

to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump you can get it in

bookstores nationwide and I'm gonna have to get a copy of yours assuming it's

sign I want to ask you about this report from the Department of Defense that

China is training its military for strikes against the US well the Chinese

have been configuring their military to hit us and this is for decades but

they're not only just trying to configure their military or practice

these strikes from the US they're actually attacking American planes in

the beginning of May we learned that the Chinese lasered an American cargo plane

near Djibouti Horn of Africa they blinded two pilots now if you try to

blind the pilots of a plane we have to assume you're trying to bring it down

now for what purpose would they do that they want to drive us from the region

they want to drive us from the region later a lot of these laser attacks in

the South China Sea and East China Sea close to their Shores and they think

that this and other things that they've been doing like harassing Navy ships is

well sort of break our will and eventually force us to leave I think it

actually does the opposite it makes us more resolved to make sure that we

defend the international system and defend the global Commons there is an

obsession in America currently that you know Russia Russia Russia Russia

meddling in the election but there are other players as well yeah john bolton

the national security adviser talked about China Iran and North Korea the

Chinese I spend an enormous amount of money trying to change the perceptions

of Americans about China they may be interfering in direct elections but

mostly what this is is just trying to change perceptions so we have Confucius

Institutes on college campuses Confucius classrooms and secondary schools the

billboards in Times Square enormous expenditures where we see with

regard to think tanks so this is a much more broad-based effort than the

Russians and it really actually makes the Russian effort look puny and Iran in

North Korea also doing similar things to a lesser extent you know obviously

they've got a very different agenda than the two big powers China and Russia and

they don't have the resources but you know we saw this with the North Koreans

the hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2004 cheering what they were trying

to do when they were very explicit was to make sure Americans did not go to see

that movie the interview and you know we can say the efforts misguided but the

point is you know the North Koreans with Chinese help with launch those

cyberattacks against the United States exfiltrated hundreds of terabytes of

data out of Sony and crippled the company for a little while

it's amazing what you said a moment ago that the Chinese and the amount they

invest in Medellin in the u.s. dwarfs with the Russians and yet we're so

obsessed with the Russians at the very beginning as I was introducing you I

mentioned this unit the Chinese state broadcaster is sort of mocking the

president yeah this is really unprecedented you know the Chinese have

sort of tried to not do that and the reason is that you

when if you go back a year two years ago Chinese leaders were very confident that

they could control chump it didn't work out we saw this with the tariffs and

other means that the president's been using to undermine the Chinese and what

they're doing in terms of predatory attacks on us and so right now I think

the Chinese political system is in a little bit of disarray so they've been

backing away from Trump this was unusual and this actually very well may be a

sign that they have changed their minds look we're trying to stop their theft of

US intellectual property we're trying to do all sorts of things that the Chinese

stop them from doing all sorts of things that they shouldn't be doing and now the

Chinese are actually starting to think no they're actually gonna go forward

with this stuff all right Gordon Chang and the name of your

upcoming book is no upcoming book I just wanted your autograph okay Gordon Shan

thanks very much coming up next President Trump weighs in tonight on the

deaths of Molly Tibbets a person came in from Mexico illegally and killed her we

need the wall we need our immigration laws change we need our border laws

change we need Republicans to do it because the Democrats aren't going to do

it we'll have the latest in the case with Michelle Malkin when we come back

[鞚疙劙敕癩項堦步鞓侅潣 鞓堨柛鞝侅(Did H.K.Y's predictions correct?→Trump, Park's impeachment, Samsung's confusement) - Duration: 5:26.

That's why it's less than five years old.

I have foretold that the regime will have problems after five years.

.

Thank you very much for your time, I'm sure you're busy.

I have many questions for you, but the first thing I want to know is...

You have made six prophecies about President Park Geun hye, right? I want to hear an explanation about that.

I'd like a detailed explanation.

Park Geun-hye, I prophesied about her in the live broadcast of the station before the president was elected.

I prophesied that President Park Geun - hye will have a huge a ceremony for exorcism at the Blue House(Korean president house).

.

But that is already scheduled.

I predicted already at that time that ceremony for exorcism happens in Blue House(Korean president house) with Park Geun-hye.

I told President Park that she was stuck in the law she had made.

.

That is the National Assembly Advancement Act law. ..

Park changed the law so that half of the members of parliament agree to pass the law.

.

Park Geun-hye, created the advancement of the National Assembly law.

She made it when she was an opposition party, but she became the ruling party, which is what's holding her back.

.

So I foretold that candlelight protest would happen and that she would be impeached.

The court will dismiss the complainant, Park Geun-hye.

The date when you predicted the impeachment.

A few days ago for Park Geun-hye to become president.

You know what? The date of the broadcast is the 17th.

Then, 19th is Park Geun-hye was elected president.

..

I predicted 2 days before that Park Geun-hye is elected for president.

I said she was elected 51 percent.

Indeed, she was elected 51 percent.

That's all seven.

A a ceremony for exorcism has taken place in Blue house and officials are involved.

Then she won by 51 percent.

Then the candlelight protests took place and Park Geun-hye is impeached.

And she's been kicked out in four years. Park Geun-hye is driven out of her political situation by trying to cover constitutional amendment.

I prophesied like this.

I said,

I am correct.

Oh, that's great.

So I prophesied it, and I said that 25 years ago, the number of elderly people in our country surged.

○ Rapid increase in elderly people Korea will become an aged society by 2015.

.

Okay? Then by 2016, Korea will become an aged society.

I prophesied like this. .

Therefore, if you marry soon, I will have to give 100 million won to your wife and 30 million won to have a baby.

If we don't increase the number of births, we will only increase the number of nursing homes.

I told him 25 years ago that if people got married, we would give me 30 million won to them.

So people told me I was crazy.

So it's important to look ahead and talk.

And I prophesied that Lee Kun-hee would surely collapse within a week.

in the course of my lecture

So, five days later, Lee Kun-hee collapsed. He has a stroke of paralysis.

He haven't gotten up yet.

And Samsung will have a new era for Lee Jae-yong.

However, if Samsung does not change its mark to red, it will cause a big stir.

I prophesied like this. Then, after three years, Samsung's cell phone exploded and Lee Jae-yong went to jail.

He got involved with Park Geun-hye too.

The hit rate is very high.

100 percent.

Therefore, these people still do not change Samsung's logo to red.

Blue means trust.

But in the future, we cannot live by trust alone.

We have to challenge myself in the future. Red is a challenge.

So you have to turn on the red light.

Samsung should change its logo to red one and prepare for a different era than that of Lee Kun-hee.

.

I prophesied that after one week Lee Kun hee's era will pass by.

The phone explosion cost more than 100 trillion won(90 billion dollar).

It's amazing.

Samsung should have listened to me. I prophesied that Trump would become president of the United States.

I spoke on the mbn broadcast. I predicted the election of Trump as president.

.

At that time, Trump was last among 16 Republican candidates.

Trump and I met, right? He and I met at the White House. You have to write a name.

.

Bring me a magic.

I'm God now.

god

That's why the man who makes and runs the universe is here for the first time.

I don't do religious activities.

Lifting sanctions will only come after North Korea denuclearizes: Trump - Duration: 2:14.

The United States continues to urge North Korea to take steps towards denuclearization...

*if it wants relief from crippling sanctions.

This comes as the Trump administration slapped three sets of unilateral sanctions on firms

linked to the regime in August alone.

Lee Ji-won has more.

U.S. President Donald Trump is once again reiterating that the denuclearization of North

Korea must come before sanctions relief.

President Trump made the remarks at a rally in West Virginia this week, just hours after

the U.S. Treasury Department announced new sanctions on Russian shipping companies for

violating North Korea-related UN Security Council resolutions.

He also recalled his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in June,...

once again highlighting the "good chemistry" he has with Kim.

Trump reminded his supporters about how much the situation has changed, from the 'extremely

hostile' start he had with Kim, and the grave concerns that there might be a war,... to

the North's current cessation of missile or rocket launches.

But President Trump stressed that they will have to see what happens.

He said he hasn't yet lifted massive U.S. sanctions on North Korea, but he wants to

take them off quickly.

However, he said for that to happen,... the North Koreans must first abandon their nuclear

arsenal.

Just this month, Washington slapped three sets of sanctions on foreign companies and

individuals linked to North Korea to further squeeze Pyongyang, demonstrating the Trump

administration's strong determination to increase pressure on the regime until it fully denuclearizes.

And on this, Japan has reaffirmed its support as well.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during a briefing on Wednesday

that President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had a phone call earlier that day,

where the two leaders expressed their commitment to maintaining strong sanctions on North Korea.

Sanders also said the two leaders look forward to seeing each other at the UN General Assembly

in September, and Trump will continue holding important conversations with Washington's

allies.
