President trump tweeting saturday that his days spent at camp david with generals and military leaders resulted in many decisions made including afghanistan. We know if we pull out and the government collapses, youre going to have some combination of isis, alqaeda, the taliban running the country again. Thats a longterm very real threat. Reporter secretary of defense mattis says it will extend beyond afghanistan. Asia, strategy is not just in afghanistan strategy. Reporter tomorrow, President Trump<\/a> travels to phoenix where a hold a rally, despite the mayor asking he hold the visit given the events that transpired over the past week. Joe waultman, fox news. For some perspective, in mar of 2014, President Trump<\/a>, well then candidate trump, wasnt a candidate. He tweeted this. We should leave afghanistan immediately. No more wasted lives if we have to go back in, we go in hard and quick. Rebuild the u. S. First. And earlier, that same year again 2013 he tweeted quote i agree with president obama on afghanistan, we should have a speedy withdrawal. Why should we keep wasting our money, rebuild the u. S. Joining us live by the Woodrow Wilson<\/a> princeston of new jersey, politics, lauren wright. Professor, what do you expect to hear from the president tonight about afghanistan . Well, in addition to some policy content that youve mentioned we expect a true announcement, we expect to hear from more accountability for nato troop, for example President Trump<\/a> putting more pressure on them. But i will be paying really close attention to tone. And the reason for that is because this is a solemn speech in a solemn setting and theres no place for a personal fault. There really isnt any in president ial spep, no room for i or me or personal adulation or attacks. And so i expect to see a difference in tone tonight and im paying really close attention to that. Because the most basic responsibility of the president is to communicate with the public and to make them feel safe and stable. Is there a flipflop here given his earlier tweets supporting president obamas troop withdrawal, is he being hypocritical . This is a really stark change, but it is common for president ial policy to evolve from their platform on the campaign trail. And the reason for that is because president s come in to office with a certain set of expectations. Their teams change and they have more information at hand. So this could for example be an indication that the president s listening to mattis and his other Foreign Policy<\/a> advisors. And at least among elites, there seems to be a perceived competence on his Foreign Policy<\/a> team, different from his domestic policy team. I think, you know, not necessarily good or bad or different from the past but a stark change and so he needs to explain that to people and in a really credible way. If the president wants to put more troops in afghanistan, does he need any support from congress on this . Yes. And he needs Public Opinion<\/a> on his side. I think a really common misconception is that what the public thinks about policy isnt an important part of the president s agenda getting accomplished. That could not be less true. Public opinion, very important. Its important to congressmen who are facing elections in the upcoming years and to senators and so, in order to get congressional support which is a good thing to have for the president , you need Public Opinion<\/a> on your side. Absolutely. Last question before we go. How much Political Capital<\/a> does he have left given the failure on the healthcare bill and the personal attacks hes had on fellow members of his own party . Really little. And, you know, thats, that, thats why these opportunities cant be wasted. And frankly, pivoting is good political practice, its Good Communications<\/a> practice. But, you know, this pivot would not be necessary if the president hasnt botched his response in the wake of the charlottesville incident last week. And so, you hope that these types of change in strategy arent necessary. But they are common. Dr. Wright from princeton, new jersey. We appreciate your time and your perspective. A stand down for all of the u. S. Navy in the pacific after another major collision. Details coming up after the break. The u. S.

The mayor of richmond is calling to housing development, known as hud does not give the city enough money to keep operating. For more on tho proposal, were joined by richmond mayor tom bud. I want to get whats behind the plans to get rid of richmonds Housing Authority<\/a>. Is this only about money . Its mostly about money. Its on aheads website, the public Housing Authority<\/a> are unfounded by 20 billion and is proposing another 6 billion dollar drop. Can you hear us, tom . If you can, i want to know if current Public Housing<\/a> in richmond will be affected . It should not be no. Okay. Can you talk to us about the reasoning behind this though because reported a pair of audits by ahead reprimanded your city for improperly spending funds. Whats your response to that . Well, you know, thats pretty much all hud does is they reprimand cities for improperly spending funds. And im trying to change the narrative. The narrative is that no city is getting enough money to operate their housing authorities. And the lack of funds means lack of staff to operate them properly and, you know, its just, its an endless circle, you know. They dont give you enough money to run the operation right and then when you make a mistake, they come down on you and reprimand you for it. And they take money back. And its unsustainable. You know . And we just need to try something different. Okay. And if this does become successful, you dismantle the Housing Authority<\/a> in richmond, who would then take over and how soon would that happen . Well, there are a lot of opportunities, hud is already recommended that the Contra Costa County<\/a> Housing Authority<\/a> definite another possibility are profit or nonprofit, low Income Housing<\/a> developers, Affordable Housing<\/a> developers. They do this and they actually get more money because they can use tax credits and they can can tap in to sources [ indiscernible ] we thank you for your time. Controversial commentator Milo Yiannopoulos<\/a> is staging a comeback at cal. I sat down with the man who told me he enjoys whipping people in to a frenzy. I go out on purpose and provoke. Ive never denied it. I enjoy winding people up. I do it on purpose. Reporter Milo Yiannopoulos<\/a> is no doubt one of the most detested and praised people on the internet. Liberals and even some conservatives abhor him. But for others, hes an internet trailblazer, breaking down new barriers to free speech. And hes found a kinship in President Trump<\/a>. I do like trump. Ive always liked him. And one of the main things i wanted him to accomplish, he already has. Which is just this, he just receipts a living represents a living breathing, the scolds and the nannies insane. And i love him for that. What are plenty of things you do as a president , i think he does things just to mess with people. Reporter really, is that a good way to be president , just to mess with people . Yes whuchlt come in specifically to break up the system, he was elected to mess with people. He was elected to be a thorn in the side of the establishment both left and right. Reporter on your facebook painl you have bannon 2020. Yeah, i want him to run, just to annoy the liberals. Reporter he blames liberals for many things but mostly for a double standard when it comes to free speech. He says he wants more free speech, especially for the big right wing rallies laned next planned next weekend here in the bay area. I want as many protests as possible. I want people demonstrating in the streets. Reporter do it peacefully . On all sides, on all sides. I dont think there are just two sides on any of these two questions. I want everybody on the streets. I want it peaceable, i want it respectful. It would be nice if the problem is the way, the police operate. And this kind of town because they dont police properly. They let them smash the place up and they dont do anything about it. They did that when i came to uc berkeley. Reporter he says he plans to return to berkeley at the end of september to hold seminars on topics including feminism and islam. We will be explaining on uc berkeleys own campus just how devastating uc berkeley is through the course of free speech. A supposed home of it. Which is why i started my own mario savio free speech award, ill be giving it to anne cowl ter coulter. Reporter you need attention. I can get plenty of attention. Reporter are you just a flame thrower . I dont know. Reporter well, i didnt intend it to be. Im sorry. No, please dont apologize, im messing with you, good grief. There seems to be this idea that you cant be a conservative and be funny. Or you cant be a conservative and be provocative. John oliver, jon stewart, bill m maher and i could list another 20. Why can they do it and we cant. Reporter this is an act . No, i didnt say it was an act jon stewart doesnt describe himself as an act, he says hes comedian but not an act. Bill maher. Reporter hes a comedian. Maybe im a comedian. Reporter okay, now were getting somewhere. Maybe im both. So there you go. Interesting character. Interesting person. And you can tell that some of it seems to be tongue in cheek. And i just thought it was important to see a little bit more about what this guys all about. Because people get so worked up about this guy. When you sit down and talk to him, he can be pretty charming, hes obviously very smart. You dont have to agree with anything that he says but to take him so literally, i think could be a little dangerous because i dont know that what he says he believes everything that he says. Well, what were you expecting when he first sat down with you, were you expecting something completely different or did he just hit i thought he was going to be very confrontational and someone difficult to talk to and very kind of demanding and obnoxious. But he wasnt quite like that. I mean, i thought he was somewhat condescending and obviously very smart and i dont agree with a lot of what he says. But i think he raises some interesting points that there are worth talking about. The biggest one is free speech. He says hes not advocating for violence, he just wants people to be able to talk and exchange ideas. I think thats important. Beyond that i dont know. Well, he no doubt has a lot of people riled up. Yes, he does. Yes he does. As concern grows over this sundays right wing rally at Berkeley Civic Center<\/a> park, the city council held a special meeting on whether the city manager should have the power to make temporary rules to manage the large protests.

So, i mean, its like, you know, its not every year you get to see it. Even though its foggy, just to see it for a moment was the big thing.
