War. It drew mixed reaction from leaders in washington. This morning, we want to hear what our viewers thought of the address.

You can catch up with us on social media. Twitter, facebook. A good thursday morning to you. A few of the headlines following that foreignpolicy speech yesterday. Trump to world America First. That is the New York Times this morning. For the front page of usa today, trump doctrine, dont speak softly. Times sets the scene yesterday at the address speaking blocks away from the white house. Ng ased a teleprompter telli reserved audience largely drawn from washington think tank establishments that his approach replaces randomness with purpose , ideology with strategy and chaos with peace. Heres a little bit more from the address on his approach to the use of military force.
Back i could only respond through that email. But what i meant to say is we couldnt find out who was sending it. It was obvious that they were english speaking, however, because, you know, of the commander language. Was there specifics about a ransom number or conditions . When they initially reached out to us, yes. It was ridiculous. Like they wanted 100 million euro or all muslim prisoners kind of thing. And you know, fbi, you know, of course we right away sent tight the fbi and they just said keep them talking, keep them talking. But within a few emails when they realized they were just talking to the family, they had absolutely no interest. And so they cut off discussions until the only other time, sir, was when the french came out in march of 2014, they came out with another very specific offer to negotiate for all americans and all of the british. And your primary source of contact in the United States was the fbi . We had no primary source. I did have one we had one fbi agent wh
To put forward, so, i commend the u. S. Senate proappropriatio committee providing some assistance in that regard. I want to just invite david to ask, to address whether the, whether we can wait another 30 or 40 or 50 years to take action and expect not to have consequences. Thank you for the question. Not acting increases the cost of action. The longer we delay in action will increase the cost of action. Because we will have infrastructure lock in and other dynamics that will make it increasingly difficult to in fact shift to low carbon xwhis. We have the opportunity and i think we in fact are on the trajectory as lisa and others have said, we are on the trajectory of moving very rapidly toward that low carbon economy. The price of solar panels for example has fallen 75 in the last five years. And we can create hundreds of thousands of jobs in doing so . And we are in fact creating, there are 100,000 jobs in texas alone. Thank you. I want to welcome sam adams, who works with the World
The Justice Department statistics show that nationally only 16 of state prisoners are in for drug crimes and less than 4 are there for drug possession. And yet, our very president is going around stating an untruth. That is because this is an administration i think that is ruled by an ideology that claims that Law Enforcement is somehow racist. And that, as you say, is a disservice to officers of all colors who are there to help the good people in the community. Mr. Mccarthy, you rightly observed that the title this hearing, the war on police, is directed more broadly than just the department of justice. But it is rather what i see as a pervasive, to use a term of art, pattern and practice across the federal government and this administration, and indeed, i think no one bears more direct responsibility than the president. As ms. Macdonald just noted, president obama has directly tried to attack his own fbi director for observing that Violent Crime and homicides are increasing. We saw a
And just kind of strung up there and the dutch ship, the flagship of this, you know, task force is built to commercial damage control standards, even socalled low threat environment, somebody may get the hands control standards. How do we deal with these problems with the allies not just technically but in terms of what they are able to survive in terms of threats . If i had that answer as clearly as i would like to we would probably say we have the answers. We are in the bit of discovery. I think you are discovering that. You have outlines a few of the things that come about. What kind of equipment and capabilities do our allies have . We need to understand that and you dont really find those issues until you bring them together. We are still coming back the marines come back to sea we welcome them back and they have a capability as they move ahead on ground operations over the years in iraq and afghanistan. We didnt move at the same pace and stay as synchronized as we should have. Th
