Of course, today has some important differences. The advance of technology. The impact of the internet, our fragmented media landscape make it easier than ever to splinter ourselves into echo chambers. Leaders willing to exploit fear and skepticism have tools at their disposal that were unimaginable when i graduated. Andrea mitchel covered Hillary Clintons campaign. Jonathan allen, and mark murray with us as well. Michael steele and of course former chair of the rnc, a big thanks to all of you. Andrea, you spent a lot of time with Hillary Clinton. How surprising was that speech . It was a strongest rebuke of President Trump so far. Some people were messaging where was the speech writer during 2016 . This was a strong speech, but it wasnt just a take down of donald trump. But it was mores a separational speaking to a very positive and reaffirming audience, of course, her wellesley graduating class on her turf where it started in 19 69 for her when she was chosen as the student speaker. She was talking about being hopeful but comparing it to 1969 with some unflattering references to the times, the turmoil, the protests, the fact that Richard Nixon was elected and left in disgrace and impeachment. She had some humor, but i think this was her first specific attack on his budget, talking about the cruelty of his budget on the most vulnerable of our society. Speaking of women and lgbt rights, and others who are being left behind. Sohe really went after donal trump in a way that she has not since election day. Jonathan, heres a little bit more from the speech. This is Hillary Clinton talking about life after election night. You may have heard that things didnt exactly go the way i planned. But you know what . Im doing okay. One of the things that gave me the most hope and joy after the election when i really needed it was meeting so many young people who told me that my defeat had not defeated them. Jonathan, you chronicled the campaign. What was your take away after that speech . Number one, as andrea was saying, she came out of the wood, so to speak. They asked the question earlier whats she going to say when she comes out of the woods . She came out with the boxing gloves on. This was an aggressive speech toward donald trump and the 1969 speech that andrea referred to. She criticized the art of the possible saying that people should be going after turning the impossible into the possible. I think she sounded a little bit more like that 1969 student today than she had on the campaign trail in 2016 or 2008. And this was a really impressive launch back into the political fray for her. Michael steel, this is a part of this speech that i found especially interesting. This is Hillary Clinton talking about donald trump in his relationship with the truth. And his supporters. Take a listen. You are graduating at a time when there is a fullfledged assault on truth and reason. People denying science. Concocting elaborate, hurtful conspiracy theories about child abuse rings, operating out of pizza parlors. Some are even denying things we see with our own eyes. Like the size of crowds. Who is the audience there, Michael Steel . The folks in front of her, largely. I think that beyond that no one is really paying attention to what she has to say. I mean, clearly they rejected all of that during the campaign. So to jonathans point, if this is a rollout of whats to come, then it will be interesting to see whether she carries this debate, if you will, to the president once he returns, and were six months down talking about how Hillary Clinton is repositioning the Democratic Party to actually be competitive and fight the incumbent president. I havent seen that yet. This is her first real foray. I know she wanted to do this speech probably as president of the United States. But her audience right now was basically those folks in front of her. Well see how much resonance it has beyond that. Its been noted, if folks are saying where was the speech when she was a candidate . Thats Hillary Clintons problem. And so consistency in that regard is going to be the tale tell sign if shes really ready to go after President Trump. It was a friendly crowd. To michaels point, and jonathans point, the audience outside that room, did she reach that audience, or was this just a speech for the folks at wellesley . I think, craig, it was both. It was certainly a commencement address honoring the people who just graduated from wellesley, but also i think the voice she was carrying was more of the democratic resistance. I think its pretty clear that Hillary Clinton and isnt the future of the Democratic Party. And the party completely moved on after the results of november th. But what youre seeing is someone who is, i think, still very angry and upset about what ended up occurring, and also just kind of channelling, craig, i think some of how historically significant it is, that the Campaign Still is going on. When you go to a donald trump event, theres still a chant of lock her up. Hillary clinton goes to wellesley and gives a tough speech to donald trump. Politics always exists. What is striking about this era is that after the very contentious and close 2000 president ial election, george w. Bush still invited al gore, broke bread, and even if they were disagreeing on issues, just having that kind of conversation goes a long way. Hillary clinton and donald trump still havent met after november 8th. And i think that that has allowed these really the tough partisan feelings to still exist months after that election. Jonathan, do democrats want to see Hillary Clinton in this light . Do they want to see her continue to give speeches like this . Or do they just wish shed go away and be quiet . Yes. There are some democrats that want to see her come out and think she has a role as a leader of the party, not necessarily as a candidate, but as somebody who can give speeches like that, and others wish that she would go away and seed the stage to other people. I was just talking to a pretty senior democrat from the Obama Administration who was very clear that he didnt want to see her run again. Mr. Steel, while i have you, i want to talk to you about news that broke. We found out about an hour ago that your friend john boehner, former speaker of the house, he told an Energy Publication called rig zone quote, Everything Else hes done in office with the exception of foreign affairs, Everything Else, has been a complete disaster. The Associated Press confirming the comments with Speaker Boehners office. Does that surprise you that Speaker Boehner would come out so forcefully against the Current Administration so early . No, it doesnt. I think in many respects Speaker Boehner is taking to heart the moniker former. It frees you up. And he has been freed in many respects to speak his mind as he has done in the past. I think that theres really no secret about how he was concerned about Donald Trumps presidency from the beginning. And i think a lot of republicans and hes reflecting this, are concerned about its current state and what happens next. The trip started off in the middle east. A very positive. A lot of very strong response globally. And it has ended with nato and the g7 with a lot of trepidation and recrimination among our own allies about the bruskness of the president. Thats an ongoing concern for a lot of republicans. But to be quite frank about it, they havent helped themselves in this regard. Because they havent spoken truth to power when donald trump has gone down that road. Either the party is going to be four square behind nato and what it stands for and our allies or its not, because thats who donald trump is. Hes our party. Hes the head of the party. Hes either going to reflect our values in that regard or he isnt. Michael steel, thank you. Jonathan allen, good to see you on a friday. Mark murray, good to have you as well. Enjoy the weekend. Family ties. The fbi wants to talk to Jared Kushner now in the russia probe. What do they think kushner might know . And President Trump on the last leg of his first overseas visit as commander in chief. How did his America First message play overseas . Ready or not, here i come. Anyone can dream. Making it a reality is the hard part. Northrop grumman command and control systems always let you see the complete picture. And were looking for a few dreamers to join us. All umm. Ed. You wouldnt want your painter to quit part way, i think you missed a spot. So when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day . Aleve, live whole not part. You want this color over the whole house . As the history majors among you, here today know, all too well, when people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society. We have been talking about hillary intons broadside against prede trump. Her speech at wellesley coming as President Trump faces problems this memorial day weekend. Problems with germany and nato and now problems with the russia investigation. Its now at his familys front door. Kelly odonnell is in italy. Shes traveling with the president. Kelly, i understand we have some breaking news, if you will, on sanctions in russia. What can you the tell us . Reporter a couple of developments here. The top advisers to the president s top economic adviser spoke with reporters giving an update. With respect to russia, the president s economic adviser saying he wants there to be in confusion that the u. S. Wants to keep the russia sanctions or make them tougher. Thats an Important Message they want understood with other leaders, and theres more information where theyll telling us that the president s views are evolving on Climate Change as hes having a working meal with the other g7 leaders. Listening, they say, learning from some of the experiences and information of other leaders. One of the Big Questions here in sicily is the fate of the paris agreement. The Climate Change agreement that president obama signed the u. S. Onto, and President Trump has been cig nalging that he would like to withdraw from it, but theres no decision. The fact that theyre saying his views are evolving is really notable, and could mean that the u. S. Might have more time to be a participant in that pact if the president is actually changing some of his views. He did stress, they said, that anything related to environment had to be also a focus on protecting jobs. That second nugget, thats big news here. If the president because you covered politics long enough to know when a politician says his or her views are evolving, that typically means im changing my mind. Any sense that is code. Any sense on aimetable when this elution might be complete . Reporter well, they are still in the process of having the meetings here. And so this was really sort of a snapshot of where things stand with top advisers giving us this report. But youre right to key in on that. Evolving means changing. It means hes not standing in the same place where he was. As hes learning from other leaders, and also getting a sense of how they might be able to Work Together on issues that do affect climate. Were also told, and this wont surprise you, that the president shared with the other World Leaders of the environmental awards he received in his business life. You can kind of picture him doing that at a family style meal as they described it to us. Before i let you go, Jared Kushner, soninlaw, Senior Adviser to President Trump. Now under fbi scrutiny. What more do we know about that . Reporter well, Jared Kushner and ivanka trump were part of the trip. They have returned home. We have been told multiple u. S. Officials say Jared Kushner may have Important Information in the russia investigation given some of his business contacts and some of his work as an intermediary in the transition between the campaign, the trump organization, and world figures. He is not someone who is suspected of any wrong doing at this time, not that at all. What they want is an opportunity to speak to kushner and his attorney gave us a statement where she said that he had already offered to Tell Congress what he knows about any contacts between russia and the trump organization, the Trump Campaign and transition, and he would be willing to do so again if called upon to do that. The fact that this comes right to the family of the president certainly raises all of the intrigue and interest in this, and it is not a surprise in some ways given the role that kushner has played so central to so many of the conversations and the contacts that deal with international partners, including russia. And so kushner may have to explain more. We dont have any date for an interview or the next steps, but multiple u. S. Officials say that they think he has information that could be pertinent to the russia investigation. Kelly, thank you. Safe travels. Lets bring in former chief of staff to john kerry. Ned price, a National Security analyst. Also former senior director at the National Security council at the white house. I want to get to kushner and russia and all that stuff in a moment. John, let me ask you about kelly reported with regards to the paris agreement. This news that the president of the United States may be changing his mind. Kelly o. Describing it as an evolution of his position on Climate Change. What do you make of that . I think kelly gave two relatively positive reports in terms of the potential policy agenda for the Trump Administration. One the president may be evolving on the paris climate agreement. We heard before the president went to the g7e postponed a decision until aft consulting with other World Leaders. That seemedike a relatively positive thing. She also said that the head of the nec said that the administration was going to remain committed to russia sanctions. Now, the problem with both of those reports is neither of them came out of the mouth of the president himself. If we learned one thing about this administration, its that Senior Advisers, even cabinet officials can say what they say, but until the president says, its as likely as not to be contradi contradicted. But these are positive signs. Ned, let me play what sean spicer said about Jared Kushners contact with russians. This was back in march. Take a listen. Throughout the campaign and the transition, jarod served as the official primary point of impact with foreign governments and officials until we had state department officials. Youre acting as though theres something nefarious about doing what he was tasked to do. The white house was saying someone had to be the point of contact with foreign governments and that job became Jared Kushners. Does that make sense . It is. Sean spicer is not always one who is prone to tell if 100 facts, but i think that explanation holds up very well with what we know of the fbis inquiry into mr. Kushner. We know he is under scrutiny as Kelly Odonnell said. He does not appear to be a target at this point. He does not appear to be a suspect. I suspect hes under scrutiny for that very reason, that he held the same role in the campaign and the transition that he holds in the Trump Administration today. And that is director of everything. And under that title, certainly the transitions contacts with foreign leaders fell within that. He was the point person, and so it makes a lot of sense that the fbi would want to talk to him to ask the key question at the center. Why was there so much interaction both meetings and communications with russians, and probably also to the point why were they withheld or later lied about . Jarod, there excuse me. John. There have been a number of visual met or thes, visual metaphors for this portion of the president s trip to europe. There was a moment that President Trump appears to push aside the leader of the newest member of nato. Theres also that bizarre handshake between President Trump and the new french president , macron, which went on for a while. Allies have been quick to assure the world none of the visual t metaphors affect the relationship. Do you buy that . Well have to wait and see. As is always the case with this president and white house, there ends up being an excessive focus on the theatrics of the meetings. Who is Holding Hands or not or having a thumb war with whom or putting their hands on a glowing orb. The most important stop is the substance. Its rare out of a nato meeting where you would say that russia which is not present and which is if anything, the adversary
