the other way around to say let s go to war with north korea? certainly if the summit fails, if something goes wrong and if they show up at the summit and it s clear the north korea koreans are not willing to give up anything with their nuclear weapons, bolton would have a big part in playing whatever plan b would be. that s really scary. china seems to have taken prominence, that region. world. we walked away from the tpp. they are levying draconian sanctions against us. how much has president trump cre cededed ground to china? the tpp, these things don t help the united states. the united states has stood on security, value and free trade in asia and we re taking away at least one of those pillars right now. it s like a three-legged stool, you take away one leg
they go to war with you. bringing in the combination of pompeo and bolton could mark a significant shift in the foreign policy, that s for sure. is this the complete axis of the w. and all the zanyness. we have two left, north korea and iran. let s go to war with all of them. this sounds like the bolton plan to me. well, i think there s a little bit of going back a little bit, reaching back and trying to reset or correct the record from the past. in a sense that a lot of folks still feel that, at a certain point, bush pivoted off and away from the kind of advice that he was given. exactly, from dick cheney and those who supported that interventionalist policy. now with this president, gives them an opportunity to not only go back to those arguing, to those arguing points, but in terms of north korea in the future engagements, now they have someone to stay steady with
does business with, trade wars are good and easy to win. example when we re done 100 billion with a certain company and they get cute, don t trade anymore, we win big, it s easy. is that true? think donald trump is channeling general george cust, he let s go to war with no preparation and no idea of what we re facing, and we all know how well that turned out for custer s troops. first of all, let s address the fact that there s a real plight here of american steel workers and aluminum workers and others whose jos have been disappearing. and those people are deeply pained and will benefit pr this. but for every one of those workers there are probably 30 to 35 other workers who are in the business of metal bending, drawing, stamp, otherwise working who are going to be hurt. and this is a thoughtless step. and, you know, trump alludes to china. we get more shoes from china
president trump s men come to the podium and say to us we ve don everything we can do when you say it s 100% obvious that that is not true? i don t know. i m not in bossert s head. i m concerned that right now it s much easier to say let s go to war than it is to impose sanctions on china. we have yet to go after the chinese banks and companies that have been supplying all of these resources to north korea. that is a concern. there s a lot that we can do. i believe we have a moral obligation to use all of the elements of our national power before we think of striking north korea. shepard: it s been said that the chinese prefer north korean nuke to u.s. troops. whether that is true or not, i don t really know. china has clearly not done all they can to help solve this problem. no, it hasn t. the chinese banks have been laundering money for the north koreans, and not just the small ones. the large banks like bank of china that was named in a u.n.
fema to be there forever. what you do in a situation like this is that you give people hope, and the hope is we ll be there for as long as it s necessary. that s what people in a disaster wants to hear. they don t want to hear as if somehow they are a burden. and that s what is coming across. the people of puerto rico are not a burden. and i ll again if this were a hot war and i m sorry to keep going by this we would move heaven and earth. so let s go to war against mother nature and what she did and then worry about the infrastructure after we feed people and save people. but quit bringing up what it was like before the hurricane. that s the most ridiculous argument that we can present. all right. stay with me, both of you. when we come back, the president taking aim at nfl players for what he calls disrespecting the national anthem, but if he s so adamant about respect for the
