macron. when he has to sell them on a deal to denuclearize north korea. do you pick a fight with those you need on your side? that s the criticism i and others have done about what the president has done here. it s bead will dering and disappointing at a time wet alliance occupies this crucial role and donald trump should be able to turn to angela merkel and to justin trudeau and the leaders of the west and say this is what i m going do, are you with me? he may not have the personal relationship with him to do so. i think you are shooting yourself in the foot. i think this is part of what infewer yates and bewilders people about the president, his unpredictability. one day he can be your best friend, the next day he s your enemy and the next day he s playing golf with you again.
one-on-one meetings with the president, mr. tillerson makes it quite clear he does not approve of what trump is saying. he slouchs. he listens to trump. he s told associates that he s astonished by how little trump knows about foreign policy and then when trump will say something tillerson will say to the president well, that s your deal which further infewer yates the president. so this is not sustainable. and elizabeth, i get that a smaller state department is fitting with the destruction of the administrative state. but after a while to run this government and be a leader in the world aren t they going to need to fill in some of those slots. yes, of course. there are major negotiations where they re not sending people. this big issues with major countries. we do not have ambassadors in place. i could give you many examples. again, this is unheard of to have the top floor of the state department so unoccupied. you know, tillerson has

we need to recognize and debate, was it a good idea to give people weapons are radical jihadists. these people are allies of those we were giving weapons to. that was a huge mistake led by hillary clinton and some hawks in my party. bill: what does it prove and where does it lead? moving forward hillary clinton is being investigated with benghazi was she telling the truth or lying to congress. we have to do something about isis but it infewer yates me they have a billion dollars worth of u.s. weapons and they were arming our allies for years. we didn t give enough arms to the allies of isis and that s a
