we need in 2020 are more interested in the price of insulin than they are a lot of the things that are being covered incessantly in the news. talk a little bit more about this budget cut that was proposed yesterday. we re talking about almost a trillion dollars. this is a guy who ran for president saying i will not cut medicaid, medicare or social security, and he just delivered a budget that cuts medicare and medicaid by almost a trillion dollars. talk about that, particularly the impact on hospitaling and. so it s critically important. we know what we re look at a and the american people need health care. that are and they went in an
that s good news for america. i would say so. i would point out to you, greg, that when we have things like the pittsburgh synagogue shooting or parkland or the attack on the southern black church, i think you have to understand there are people inside the country who do bad things. greg: absolutely. i would call that terrorism. juan: i would say yeah, for people who are subject to it, jews, blacks, it s real terrorism. we just have a guy who ran over the woman down in charlottesville put in jail for life this week. those are real things. but in terms of trying to advance the border argument, i would wish that the president would just be more direct. it s hard to say that terrorists come across the southern borders because the state department says that s not the case, but it is the case that he wants to make the argument that we are more secure. i think he has a case to make. go ahead and make the case but don t use this as some kind of convenient argument. to me, it cheapens it.
ideologically not faithful enough and this guy who ran, you know, president bush s north korea policy from the white house who, as i say, is a stalwart republican and most importantly, just a policy expert who knows the region intimately has suddenly been dropped. there is no ambassador obviously to south korea now. there is no ambassador to south korea. there are acting assistant secretary of states for many regions of the world. at least 20 countries i can think of where you don t have ambassadors. it s a very strange situation where the united states is being asked to do more around the world because of the rising china, things going on in the middle east. and yet we re almost pulling back for no particular reason. fareed zakaria. thanks very much. coming up, another perspective on the state of the union. an op-ed that opens with the line one line coming to mind more than any other. that word was pretend. so, that goal you ve been saving for,
people in this country who are reporting to college campuses this week and have no idea whether they ll finish the semester, much less the year. they may be deported. they may be sent out. he gave them nothing that they could count on. it s entirely unreliable, it s wavering, and this is a guy who ran as decisive, i know what to do, i ll show them, this will be all win, win, win. i don t think there are a lot of excuses for wavering at the expense of people s lives. you keep saying wavering, but is it cowardly that he s not being more decisive in saying, this is how i feel. if he wants this to be law, david, why can t he just say, i want this to be law. i don t care what congress says. isn t that cowardly? well, certainly a lot of people think so. i don t quite want to go that far yet but i will say this. look, he came out with a policy to rescind today, then he leaves
the phoenix area? where were their constitutional rights? i think that s what is troubling about this. the message that this ends. the guy who ran, he was going to be a law and order president. is essentially endorsing lawlessness and endorsing a law and order practices that are completely abusive and undermine people s civil rights. you can disagree with the pardon itself. you can understand there s a bigger message sent by tens of millions of viewers saying we can talk about immigration without throwing the word racist around. you can disagree and say immigrants are driving down the wages of low skilled americans, you can understand what s happening in terms of civic fabric of our culture by throwing these terms around so carelessly. we ve not been having these discussions and thankfully president trump is starting those conversations. i ll to have call that a wrap for this hour.
