>> harris: i want to ask you just real quickly, i dont mean to ignore you. oprah and others are coming out on twitter and saying all this about the kids in the cages and everything else. those things were pre-existing to this president. and not that thats in any way a defense for whats "happening now" but those 2014 pictures where they are. where were all of these people when those children were in cages then? >> theres clearly a lot of blame to go around here. but there is a shift that has happ...

Separating them in the first place. that is the opposite of what is happening. what jacob described is the incarceration of children and theyre diapers arent getting changed because theyre being treated lielk criminals they cant touch. >> they talk about this in clinical terms, a matter of law and order, were enforcing the law, the laws have been on the books a long time. they dont want to he cfocus on children. there is something to notice. this is not a president obviously who has been moved o...

Supporting some of the actions of vladimir putin in recent years, what do you say about president trumps view on authoritarian leaders in contrast to his predecessors? >> hes kinder to them than i would like to see him be. this particular comment bhs people, my people standing up and giving attention probably was a joke but its not very funny. and i would like to see the president taking this slightly more seriously. that being said, i think we have to think about the presidents recent actions r...

It will promising that it will impose its own set of tariffs now in some ways this is not surprising at all its long been part of donald trumps a philosophy that the united states is getting a bad end of the deal on all sorts of international agreements particularly related to trade and he sees himself as a master dealmaker that could be able to unpick these and negotiate something better than his predecessors have done so not a surprising move based on the way things have been going over the pa...

Inherited from three predecessors, republican and democrat, a terrible situation. three administrations kicked the can down the road on north korea and now weve run out of road and nothing that weve tried has worked so hes trying something different. i think he deserves to have some latitude and a chance to -- this is going to be very hard to do. i think the odds of success are very small, but he deserves the chance to try to do something new and not be attacked from home. >> judy doesnt always ...

Absolutely, no question. look, we have learned in a year-and-a-half, this president is not like his predecessors in many ways. one way hes not like them is his very free-wheeling variance of the facts, as ashley said. they are misleading, at least. sometimes outright distortions, incorrect, inaccurate, false. some people use the word lie. whatever word you want to use, he says a lot of things that are simply not true. "the washington post," ashleys paper, has documented up to more than 3,000 pub...

Thats according to the brookings institution. thats also more than ten points higher than any of president trumps four predecessors through their first two years in office. susan page, some of that 51% turnover rate. what toll does that take on the administration employees who remain at the white house? >> well, it makes it a tough place to work. we know that the trump white house in particular is a place where youre going to take a lot of knocks and you know one of the things i think were seein...

Denuclearization of the korean peninsula, something he first agreed to or his predecessors agreed to in 1992. so, you know, the idea that it seems like from all whats been public, the most preparation at this summit, more work went into a video to show him than anything else. >> okay. >> and if thats our whole strategy, were in some trouble. >> all right. look, it could have been smart. kim jong-uns father, a movie buff. as we know, he loves pop culture. i mean this movie-style video actually co...

Predecessors, republican and democrat. and that includes ronald reagan as much as barack obama. president trump has a different view of american leadership in the world. it is america as a unilateral power. it is america much more as a great power operating like russia and china without values. hes not talking about rights.its a very awkward and, think, astonishing thing for many of us who have paid close attention to listen to the president of the united states lavish praise on not just a dicta...

Rigorous than the agreement which was really a series of four bullet points that president trump announced today after the meeting with kim jong-un. as you said, you know, democrats and many republicans, of course, are supportive of peace. theyre supportive of talking with north korea rather than threatening nuclear annihilation. t to me, the last week has been a striking week for president trumps foreign policy in that we really begin to see he has a radically different vision of the world than...
