Great again. i think that they should make the trump family great again by actually bringing this manufacturing into the u.s. or at least not in a country that considers us to be an adversary and sometimes even an enemy. that even makes this worse. i can understand, you know, manufacturers going to china, but not for this family, because this has really been the core of their message. and i think ivanka trump needs to talk about this. she needs to at least say something to the american people be...

The whole world to do the right thing in getting us on the path of sustainability. >> you lay out there a lot of things, and you and your predecessors have passed laws and programs as you mentioned that have made california the leader here. on that sort of international collaboration front, as you know, democrats have a new letter out in your state. theyre asking you to consider convening a special climate summit to, quote, partner with mexico and canada and invite other states to ensure that yo...

Lot of activities that had not been as easily negotiated in the past you dont have to get the same kind of approvals to go. its not a lifting of the travel ban under obama or under -- certainly under president trump because that is congressionally mandated. what president obama did in his team at treasury was everything that they could negotiate without going to congress. >> andrea, before i let you go the fuse coming out just in the last 20 minutes or so from the white house that the president,...

President trump clearly has followed suit from his predecessors. joining us now is michael, the former israeli ambassador to the united states. deputy minister of diplomacy. heads also the author of "ally, my journey across the american/isreal divide." are you zpoidisappointed in president trump? >> i am. were disappointed in the decision not to move the embassy. we think all embassies that have relations with isreal should be in our capital. we have one capital and have never had another for 3,...

The context of our commitment to nato. >> are you among those who thought it was catastrophic and a huge error for donald trump not to explicitly endorse article 5 when he was at the memorial? >> i do, both because of the situation where he found himself next to the 9/11 memorial which, after all, was the 9/11 attacks was the first and only time that nato invoked article five, the collective defense provision of the treaty. also during the campaign, he had says things about nato, he called it ob...

Collective defense provision of the treaty. so during th campaign, he had says things about nato, he called it obvious letsolete and necessary. there was an expectation on the part of his aides and everybody else that hed come to nato headquarters, embrace the alliance, recommit america to article five as every one of his predecessors since harry truman has done and move on from there. thats not what he did, and it was deeply disappointing. >> all these headlines that talk about donald trump as ...

The first president to state publicly three what his predecessors had tried to do privately. namely that most of his nato colleagues were dead beats. 23 of 28 of them woefully behind on paying their fair share to keep of defenses. and they laugh and snickered and made the guy whose country is picking up the slack seem like the fool only he wasnt, they were. they just werent aware that they were being caught on camera looking like the blatant phony hypocrites they were. president trump very aware...

Mistake to try to distance the american public and the american government from europe and to pick a fight with angela merkel when youre not willing to stand up to putin, that contrast is jarring to me and separates president trump from all of his predecessors going back to president truman. >> put it in perspective. he said absolutely nothing when the president of turkey was here and his goons and thugs attacked peaceful protesters while president erdogan sat in his car and did nothing and our ...

Prime minister theresa may of the united kingdom who joined with mountain * on many key issues involving immigration and refugees. the president hasnt made a decision on the paris agreement yet. i thought it was extraordinarily unusual for the g-7 to have a communique that isolated one of it members. it never happened before on any significant issue. what chancellor merkel referring to as part of the theology. you can believe that there is global warming and you can believe that its in some subs...

With most of his predecessor, probably all of his predecessors. frank, you and i have been at this for a long time. and presidents of both parties agreed on two things. one is that a free and independent press is a royal pain. and the other is that its an absolute necessity for a free and independent country. the best statement ever made about this was actually made by a republican president on an international trip. and that was by ronald reagan, when he spoke at moscow state university about t...
