shinzo abe and the prime minister of japan, then a bilateral meeting. from there he went into a bilateral meeting with angela merkel. but between them, the president had a little bit of time and in his old room there was a television set and what was on the television set but the democratic debate. so when the president was meeting with angela merkel at the beginning of their bilateral, they had what s called a cool spray, the media comes in and hear some comments from the leaders. if the couldn t help but remark on the democratic debate saying he noticed that when they were asked a question, 100% of the democratic candidates put up their hands and said they would provide government-run health care for all illegal migrants. the president saying what would they provide for the american people? so the president has got one eye on what s going on there in the event states. multitasking. obviously a lot of attention placed on this as well. the big meeting this afternoon is going to be wi
he tried as long as he could and couldn t help but come up with a nickname. i think he is going to regret it. he regrets what he said. david, what do you make of the latest bottom feeding by the president? donald is a man of raging insecurities. here he is in the most powerful office in the world and wants to portray himself as the poor victim and how he is being mistreated. by the way, that job he took an oath of office to fulfill, that s a privilege. he doll it as long as the democrats are nice and otherwise not at all. what a suspect. he has a complete inability to laugh about himself. one of the signs of being a mature person is laugh about it. donald is trapped in the year he turned 13. 12, 13, or 14, we went through a horrible year.
i was getting ready for this segment, reading in on these issues and couldn t help but take note of the fact that there was discussion and a lot of print treatment about the president s weight. he had a physical this week. he may or may not weighing 243 pounds. critics were quick to say, aha, he s obese. i said to myself, oh my fwod, we would never inappropriately so. we d never have that conversation about a female. well, that s an example of not having a template for a woman in a presidency to compare it. it s ditch cam for the doctor to release those results for the president of the united states. certainly, it s appropriate to talk about them and it s appropriate for candidates of all genders to be put under scrutiny. i think the differences that we all need to pay attention to, the way that we re talking about women and to make sure that we are being fair in the way that we are critiqueing them. amanda, well done, thank you.
the president with no options. democrats today warned him against shutting down the government again. the american people do not like it when you throw a wrench into the lives of government workers over ununrelated political dispute. hopefully now the president has learned his lesson. negotiations will fall to a bipartisan conference committee whose mandate is defined basics republicans will operate in good faith. this is an opportunity for all parties to work together for the benefit of our beautiful, wonderful nation. the democratic leadership couldn t help but tweak president trump at saying he tried but failed to get democrats to crack and in nancy pelosi has more than met his match. no one should ever underestimate the speaker as donald trump has learned.
find out it s going to make them really angry. so with tom here and charlie here and michael here, we all couldn t help but seeing tom s twitter die tribe on being a conservative in the age of trump. it was far preferable to the nonsense that he has tweeted previously about led zeppelin. it s so interesting, tom, we re going to read through it, but when i have people come up to me now in airports and say, oh, i used to agree with you and, oh, i watch you, but i don t you know, agree with you now. i say, oh, you re liberal. that s okay. i love liberals, too. you know, i m a conservative. i said, well, listen, you define conservative far different than i have for a quarter century or ronald reagan did for 50 years because i believe in balanced budgets, i believe in less debt, i believe in entitlement reform, i believe in fiscal
