[inaudible conversations] welcome. We have a very special guest today. The minister of Foreign Affairs and vice Prime Minister over the state of qatar, his excellen excellency. Hes a very young man, and already has a very impressive career and already was in a key position more than a year. And becoming somewhat familiar with washington. And i have to say, however, its a little difficult to understand his region, things are constantly happening, in addition to qatar theres a small state called saudi arabia. Another small state called iran and they react in a variety of places and also russia and of course, the United States. Its very important and very complex region and we come to you, mr. Minister to explain to us what is going on. Ive just read your statement about a recent saudi move as far as lebanon was concerned. And it was my understanding that you found some reason for concern. Welcome. Thank you, sir. You can speak from here or from here, whichever you prefer. Good morning, e
Lets talk about Michael Wolff fire in fury i look at it is basically political gossip something that somethings in there weve already suspected but one of the things i thought was interesting that i pulled from the exit i havent read the book i havent seen the whole thing but you know when we have these conversations with steve bannon the former strategist. And being thrown to the curb later by mr trump the collusion with israel again this story pops it doesnt get a whole lot of coverage because people want to hyperventilate about how crude or rude or simple minded or stupid the president is but there are little nuggets coming out here that the mainstream just isnt interested in the well first i was puzzled by the admission. That im going to quote him. Certain segments of this. Presidency in this book were false and that was reduced to make up their own minds well thats not a term thats not journalism markedly riyadh. I dont want to waste a lot of time and gossip yeah well he specifica
To believe now this is a review of one of his earlier books in the new republic hardly you know a center left magazine much to the annoyance of wolfs critics the scenes of his columns arent recreated so much as created springing from wall so magination rather throw from actual knowledge of events even wolf acknowledges that conventional reporting isnt his bag but rather his absorbs the atmosphere and gossip surrounding him a cocktail parties on the street and especially during those long lunches at michaels hes around town enough to have those insights to spark people to come across pieces of information he also has a talent for making the most of even the briefest encounters his great gift is the appearance of intimate access i think we got this we got the flavor of the reactions to the book and the excerpt that people are talking about i think is were also really in.

Last year where everyone is an expert on all things related to russia which virtually none of them are experts they hardly learned anything about russia through the course of two thousand and seventeen but two thousand and eighteen is now the Mainstream Media theyre all psychologists ok that they can judge the the Mental Health of the president of the United States again the russia scandal story is fizzling out well talk about that later in the program and now know its the president s Mental Health thats the new story i think there are of course questions about drums behavior even though i think that the fact that he had p. P. And. This will be on the good side of his presidency as well as the fact that he wouldnt skeptics admit that he did more than a factor and drops back to the United States and the last five president s would have to admit it but.

A lot of what he says in the book quotations and so on contradicts each other and that some of the people were flat out lying to him. And that in some areas hes going to let the readers decide what is true in other areas hes going to decide on the narrative that he believes in this guy is a charlatan hes a flim flam man hes hes hes selling scandal to an audience a resistance liberal Media Audience wants to believe its like fox mole i want to believe now this is a review of one of his earlier books in the new republic hardly you know a center left magazine much to the annoyance of wolfs critics the scenes of his columns arent recreated so much as created springing from magination rather its from actual knowledge of events even. Wolff acknowledges that conventional reporting isnt his bag but rather to absorb the atmosphere and gossip surrounding it cocktail parties on the street and especially during those long lunches at michaels hes around town enough to have those insights to spot peo
