needed for other things other than new marble behind the podium there. jim sciutto in all seriousness, the world leaders and delegations he was shaking hands with, are people when they saw the trump budget outlined six months ago, were terrified about what america first means for global diplomacy that saves lives. absolutely. they were very concerned and so they want to hear what this president will say. they do. and listen, you ll have the words and then the actions, right. right. and you saw in the comments there the measured trump, the scripted trump and tomorrow i think you can expect that as well. although the message will be strong tomorrow about america first. there s going to be no backing off that by this administration or by this president. but then you have the actions. and to be clear, while in the budget, for instance, you have a deep lessening of america s prioritization of u.n. priorities, in other places, the u.n. security council is back front and center in t
perspective. how much of u.s. standing is on the line this week with the g20? i think there are a number of countries that have begun to say things similar to what angela merkel said just yesterday, which was that the united states sees the world very differently than we do. we have to, in a sense, chart our own course. there are other leaders who have made similar observations. the foreign minister of canada gave a speech saying it is now up to canada to defend the liberal international order since the united states is not going to. do you think we ll have a better sense of what america first means by the end of this week? yeah. i think the truth about trump is, he s pretty transparent. i don t think he s going to go and it s going to be complicated, diplomatic language and the minnuttes.

the courage of their convictions and say, yes, i agree with donald trump on x, y, and z. i ll vote with him on the issues, repeal obamacare, cut taxes, take regulatory burden off small business. and paris, it wasn t that big of a deal. when it comes to duty, honor and country, i will always stand with you. i will always stand with my country first. if you want to know what america first means to me, that s what america first means to me, country over party. if they say that, steve, not one of them will be hurt when they go home for asking tough questions about how trump and russia may have colluded together. i think that s exactly right. one of the defining aspects of this era we live in is the collapse of trust in our institutions. certainly collapse of trust in the political leadership of the country. collapse of trust in the
