journalist ed lawrence is sadly a reflection of howjournalists are treated in china. you were in close contest with bbc journalists and presumably other journalists there as well, would you agree that this is not unusual these days? absolutely and i used to describe to people, just imagine that you are seeing a dial with north korea at one and being zero tolerance on any reporting and the west with open media, you can do whatever you want, almost. china used to be, in the late 70s starting to the 80s moving towards the middle, and giving slightly more leeway towards freedom of speech and freedom of thought and all of a sudden just this dialling back happens. and where president xi jinping from 14, 15 onwards starting to get closer to back to the north korea end.
one of the things that has been difficult for the white house recently is that the president seems to come out of these meetings with a mixed bag of, you know, ability to say here s what we delivered. what we heard so far on this trip is the kind of dialling back of the anticipation of anything to be delivered. probably won t hear about an increase in oil. probably won t hear about changes of the iran policy. so begs a question, you know, what is the point is. what is the point of the trip? martha: symbolism. in the end, people want results. more americans now when you look at poll after poll don t trust the rhetoric coming out of this white house or this president. martha: let s watch together. we ll talk to you on the other side. let s listen to what the president has to say here. the ministers from the energy
there s very little of the dialling back. i don t think any voter will have this in their mind in november 2020 when they choose which candidate to support, this open as lot of these democratic candidates up to charges of political calculation. jussie smollett is black, he s gay, he s a member of homily wood, which skews to the left. so it s obvious why they would have immediately jobbed on this and issued the strongest condemnation of his alleged assailan assailants. these people have hundreds of thousands of supporters and millions of twitter follows and spreading misinformation about them. they have to be careful how they move forward. one of them that we have seen learn a lesson is kirsten gillibrand. she said she s wants to wait going forward until she knows the facts neil: now she s waiting. that s what happens. you can pick and choose you want
it s interesting while the president is advancing his opinion on being skeptical of saudi arabia, he is dialling back what was once something he and others would brag about that there was an incredible relationship between the advisers to the president and the crown prince. that was an extraordinary remark. as we have all seen, his son-in-law developed a very close relationship with the crown prince. they had many discussions. many of these discussions happening just between the two men themselves. this very individual, very cultivated relationship where they worked on israel-palestine policy planning, they also worked on how to counter iran together. it s very interesting that the president is suggesting that this is not as strong of a relationship. they don t know each other and they are just two young guys. it doesn t make the son-in-law
