but i think it s an interesting question. i heard what you just described that the russians are paying very close attention to our domestic politics and they view this president as embattled and in some ways the things that come out of their mouth sound so sim lar to the white house messaging. i wonder if you can sort of lay over the things he said to you today in terms of being so similar to the kind of things the president has said about this relationship. they re like star crossed lofrs. yeah. i mean, you know, just for example, sticking to the line that they re not going to talk about what happened in that two hour meeting. the suggestion that when president trump came around to talk to president putin at the official dinner, that it was simply the fact that he was coming around to see the fist lady and just happened to have a conversation with the russia president. i mean, all of that kind of fits very closely. and, you know, they don t have to be communicating with each other
difference between christianity and islam. christianity has a narrative, and that s their holy bible. the quran is not a narrative, so it s very easy to pick and choose what you believe. and extremists believe that they have the true islam. and the moderates say, no, we are the true islam. this is a peaceful religion. and so you see the battle s really within the religion itself, so the solution because it s an ideology has to come from fellow muslims. eric: tragically it s continued and will be a threat. you ve got your book. yes. eric: we didn t show your book. [laughter] it is available amazon.com, barnes & noble, yes. ten years in the making. it s basically based on the idea that there s a structure to the ten commandments and that structure is the image of god, it is his logo, his brand, his bar code on everything in the world. eric: congratulations on the book and thanks for your insight. thank you. eric: of course. julie: well, the fist lady will be making her way to t
relationship that i think will continue forever because there are lots of issues they re interested in, particularly bettering the lives of women and girls around the world. and i think they will stay very involved in that. but mrs. obama was very clear about how much help mrs. bush gave her and said the door is open for me to help because nobody noes what it s like until you re there particularly if you have not been fist lady of the state and that was the case for mrs. obama and certainly the case for mrs. trump so i think it s a wonderful, wonderful thing the way these women really do help each other. a special role. it is a special role. and it means a lot the way the family presented and i think it gives stability to the president. in terms of ivanka, it looks like she s going to play an unusual role and perhaps step in to the social aspects of some of this and policy issues, as well. kind of like a first lady in her role, as well.

lash out irrationally. we need a grown-up in the white house. talking about authenticity, and you can t beat that. for more on what kind of legacy plany trump could bring and what kind of legacy michelle obama will bring, i m joined by some experts. we get the experts here. ruth marcus, whoan write about anything brilliantly. she s deputy editorial page editor of washington post, and clarence paige, my old pal, columnist with the chicago tribune. i ll let the two ladies here go first. ladies first. is there a role for the fist lady, besides, she s going to be beautiful and she s well turned out and she ll not embarrass anybody. she ll do everything right. but is there a job that goes with it? i think there s an incredible job that goes with it. you re the figurehead of american democracy. and you are, you know, a wife
