So most of america is living under a legal structure with respect to the environment and emissions which will keep america marching toward compliance with paris. and mayors, thousands of mayors across america are committed to living up to the paris agreement. so ive been able to say to people in europe and elsewhere. donald trump may have pulled out but the american people are staying in it. it is a remarkable repudiation of his ignorant decision. not based on science. not based on any facts. hi...

On the field and off the field. dont also forget, a lot of these young players now are not just doing the protest on the field, theyre getting involved in their community. theyre speak out. theyre registering voters. there is a lot of stuff going on. i think its sad the president hasnt acknowledged that. this is really unfortunate because you just saw the president say i want to engage. im willing to take on the issue. in fact, he is making some positive steps substantively on criminal justice a...

Security workforce. you know, as i was digesting all of this yesterday and reflecting upon what has to be one of the most shameful days of the trump presidency, i heard from a former colleague whos still currently at cia, and this person started his message with "what in the hell are we doing?" what in the hell are we doing? and he wasnt talking at a policy level. he wasnt talking about bilateral relations between moscow and washington. it was an existential question. an existential question tha...

The things that could happen, as he leaves the uk, and now hes going to sit down with president putin, and of course u.s. allies were worried that of course these meetings with the u.s.s closest friends were going to be tough, and this could be all smiles with putin. what do you think hes going to get out of that, if anything? i know theres really no agenda. >> first of all, the optics of warring with your allies and then meeting with americas -- one of americas great adversaries, that will tell...

Reporter for "the washington post." good to see you. expecting something definition insanity. we know he went abroad to pick a fight with nato and also theresa may. what is the impact of the statements trashing her brexit strategy and elevating her rival boris johnson? >> two things. we have to look at what president trump is actually proposing. he is proposing to work with the eu on trade against great britain. does that make sense? is this the same president that just started the trade war wit...

President said he wouldnt sign the compromise bill. then white house officials came out anonymously and said he will sign it. later in the day they had to definitively put it on the record that the president will sign that compromise bill. it is very basic things like that that in past administrations have been pretty routine and notcontroversial, that have been problematic with this white house. republican senators and republican house members have pretty much been fed up with it. >> sabrina, a...

Presented her officially, doing everything just right, broke no law, and her 4-year-old son and 6-year-old blind daughter were taken away from her. and theyve done nothing wrong. they followed procedures perfectly. and so to be talking about how they are law-breakers and this is what you get when you break the law is just utterly wrong and offensive. and i must say john kelly talks -- general kelly, the white house chief of staff, talks about how, well, this is an effective deterrent. you know, ...

Is what you get when you break the law is just utterly wrong and offensive. and i must say john kelly talks -- general kelly, the white house chief of staff, talks about how, well, this is an effective deterrent. you know, at a policy level, perhaps hes right. if you brutalize children, that may well indeed deter parents from being their kids. but, you know, my god, i mean we could gouge out their eyes. we could put out east german-style -- >> killing them would be a deterrent too. one of the th...

Succumbing to that temptation, and then suddenly being faced with the opposite perspective or the opposite possibility of being humiliated and unmanned, if you will, by kim jong-un. so, were not really dealing with an analysis of the situation. were dealing with a question -- >> at a policy level. >> what is the outcome likelyest to flatter trumps vanity at any particular moment in time. >> i guess what were seeing now, heather, is this conflation of self with state. i mean, where is the united ...

Their product to iran and north korea in violation of american law. okay, hes focusing still today on but there a lot of u.s. jobs, there are a lot of u.s. jobs connected to zte, which also kind of speaks to this globalization that he and those around him kind of reject and yet he seems to be admitting it right there. >> right. i dont think there has ever been an accusation that this white house or this president is highly consistent. i mean, theres just no other way to say it. consistently inco...
