My guest isjoe lieberman, former senator, al gores Vice President ial running mate in 2000. And recently touted as contender for fbi director under the current president. Is donald trump fundamentally changing americas global role . Joe lieberman. Welcome. Stephen, good to be with you. Lets begin maybe have to begin, with an assessment of donald trump. Six months in the white house. Are you alarmed or reassured by what you have seen . Iam uncertain. 0bviously President Trump ran a campaign unlike any we have ever seen in america. As a former officeholder, during the year i would run into other officeholders or current elected officials, and we would go through the latest thing that candidate trump had said, which he would have agreed would have ended our campaign. He kept going. Part of it was that the publi
Delivering the unexpected. Nonetheless, the political career of my guest today is still breathtakingly bizarre. Mikheil saakashvili served two terms as president of georgia. He then abandoned his home country to take citizenship in ukraine, serving as a Regional Governor until he fell out spectacularly with the ukrainian president. Now he has been stripped of ukrainian citizenship, and is stateless. So is this the end of mikhail saakashvilis political career . Mikheil saakashvili, in warsaw, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for inviting me, stephen. I have to ask you, why on earth are you in the polish capital . Is it because, as a stateless person, you have no home, and you really dont know where to go . Well, i have a home. I have a home, certainly, in ukraine. That is my permanent place of residence. And i still have a home in georgia. I am here because i was invited by my polish friends, after this decision of poroshenko. And i am here because it is close to ukraine, and because from

Was the year of a certain donaldj trump. There are hundreds of thousands of blockheads in this country who are idiots, who will follow anyone, who will vote for a reality tv star. If the choice is between donald trump versus hillary clinton, ill vote for donald trump. The statements about banning all muslims, just on the basis of religious faith, is very much contrary to american values.
