any stretch of the imagination. but we re living in an atmosphere right now in the united states where journalists very much fear for their safety. their physical safety, certainly for their online safety, the amount of time i spent protecting my reporters from trolls, from harassment, i ve been doxed, i ve gotten threatening phone calls and voice messages. we re living in a terrifying atmosphere. so seeing this kind of cozying up is truly shocking. and not just cozying up, but actually saying out loud what we all suspect he thinks about journalists. that he wants to be more like putin, who kills journalists. well, trump always says the quiet part loud. that s his m.o. wow. but i think that we should not miss the moment. you have him jokingly talking about how they don t have that problem in russia, and the way russians have, on the record, handled journalism, to even make light of that, what are you
there s part of donald trump that would like to put journalists in jail on a regular basis. let s not forget today is the anniversaries of the killing of five journalists in the capital city of annapolis, city i went to college. and violence that is not perpetrated by the president by any stretch of the imagination but we re living in an atmosphere in the united states where journalists very much fear for their safety. their physical safety and certainly online safety. the amount of time i spend protecting my reporters from trolls, from harassment. i have been doxed, i ve gotten threatening phone calls and voice messages. we re living in a terrifying atmosphere. so seeing this kind of cozying up is truly shocking. and not just cozying up but actually saying out loud what we all suspect he thinks about journalists, that he wants to be more like puten who kills journalists. trump also says the quiet part loud.
shaking hands, cozying up, making deals. each claiming as the other s best friend. general jerry boykins is with me. weird timing. what did you think of it? i m not sure it s weird timing. the russians have pursued a closer relationship with china for a long time. right now china is at the point where they hope to actually have a better relationship so they can leverage that in the trade negotiations with the united states. so i don t think that it was anything more than what it appeared to be, which was two adversaries lining up against a common enemy. neil: for china, the message was, we can merrilly go on without you. russia will use huawei, that is much maligned, the telecom concern accused of spying on
about the russia investigation, it seemed like partisan politics at least to many people in the beginning, that i think a lot of people are drowning it out and they re getting sort of deaf to it. that means we re losing the gravity of this and i think we really need to bring that back up to the public s i would agree with you and i think open hearings are a part of rectifying that. i m curious. you re a freshman member. yeah. you ran a race and i looked at your race. it was a race that had a lot to do about health care, sort of kitchen table issues. i guess what do you think about communicating to your constituents about how important this is, how much they should care about it, whether or not they re knocking down your door about it. this has been on my mind. i just came from the munich security conference and heard all about how russia is the number one threat to us and our allies. and it s known. it is broadly known within the defense community. it is known within every on
in britain with the brexit questions, in france with the yellow vest movement. you have what s happening in italy, austria, hungary. to an extent the u.s. is a bystander in all of this change. what do you think the president s posture to what s happening in europe will and should be? okay. so this is really interesting because it gets to the heart of the nationalistic and populist trend. first and foremost the united states is creating let s not say enemies, but adversaries of its allies. this has been the big foreign policy that all people outside the united states, all the u.s. allies, the crucial nato allies, european allies, et cetera, are saying, hang on a second, why is this president making enemies of us? and cozying up that s my word to the likes of mohammed bin salman or vladimir putin or
