in singapore. so you re right. i think the casualness with which he suggests things is not the casualness with which it should be or is received. at the same time, sometimes the unorthodoxy things i admit i never thought would ever be the result of it. phil, how do u.s. allies react to this kind of thing because it is not isolated. you had the president in the last week threaten to withdraw troops from europe in a budget spat with nato saying let s take the u.s. troops out of germany there since world war ii. right? unsettling to say the least for allies. yeah. two ways to look at this. first way is humorously. july fourth. are you kidding me? i mean, this is not going to happen. but there is a different perspective more serious. in the wake of the president s sort of getting sideways with the canadians, what he said about nato, his flip on initially saying tillerson we ain t talking to north koreans
court will become a huge issue you for both democrats and republicans. gloria, stand by with me. i want to bring in another voice who has been covering the supreme court for years. and just if you can, do we know she s nodding yes, i have the significance of this retirement and the further tilt to the right of this court? i cannot overstate the significance, brooke. back in 2005 when sandra day o connor announced her retirement on july 1, it was a big deal because she was the center of that court. this is even bigger frankly given the political situation. i was in that courtroom this morning. i actually wonder if his colleagues knew when they took the bench because there was a certain casualness to them. but justice kennedy s wife mary was in the room. some family members seemed to be there. and he must have told them at lunch. but this was one heck of a well kept secret despite all the
