historic, and just the way it was designated really makes it worth the effort, long years of waiting, unadministrati waiting, one administration after another. this was truly a native-american effort. so thank you. we reported last night that this lobbying began under president roosevelt, 80 years ago, and as the tribes have long known, dealing with this government takes patience, as we ve seen once again. president russell begay thank you for joining us, appreciate it. thank you, it is really good. just to say thank you to this administration, president obama, for designating bears ears as a national monument. you know, a lot of things has been stolen, but now it s going to be protected for future generations, and we just thank the administration for making this happen. thank you. president begay.
nato. the basis for the cold war, post cold war order in europe. and so i don t know how trump is going to react to the sanctions, whether he s going to try to undo them, but it s certainly alarming that whatever the price the obama administration is able to place on russia for these, in a larger sense, russia has been rewarded by having its allies help preside over american foreign policy. we know that new york times columnists choose their wording carefully, and to see tom freedman today, including in his column the notion that donald trump is bibi netanyahu s chump. very interesting. he s been studying this area of the world for much of his career. in a very harsh judgment, what do you expect to see in the coming year between donald trump now and bibi netanyahu?
things. a lot of new and different ways for the president to circumvent the news media and speak directly to the people he s trying to reach, which is not all of the american people. it is that group of trump supporters. it is obviously time for the news media to lock ok at a lot things it has done in the past that will not work when covering the trump presidency, and why jay rosen says that the model of political journalism is broken and outdated. today he wrote, a man in power untroubled by contradictions and comfortable in the confusion he creates cannot be held accountable by normal means. among the habits the news media will have to change is the very high value that it places on access journalism. professor rosen writes, don t make it all about access to the president and his aides who are preserving the routines of white house reporting as the press
the most aggressive, unfriendly foreign power in the world, russia, the one with which interests conflict most other than china, they ve helped to install a candidate who s very friendly to russian geopolitical interests. i don t know what worse things they can do. we re here. we face the problem now. so this is not something we have to have proe fill actively in te future. now they re going to recoop the benefit of this interference. and all of it, donald trump takes exactly the same positions that vladimir putin would wish an american president to take. when you listen to what david just had to say about it, you can imagine the russian calculation being whatever the price is, we might have to pay
the sanctions? i can t imagine the russians are too concerned about it. they ve scored the goal and now they ll spend time in the penalty box. but the goal has been scored. the ben feeficiary of this hack the next president. it seems unlikely that he will be curious as to what happened or why. he will not want to delve deeper, and it is going to lead not to an international problem but a domestic problem. because while the president doesn t want to delve deeper, president to be, the americans should. chuck schumer issued this statement, basically a direct challenge to donald trump. saying i hope the incoming trump administration, wif has been far too close to russia throughout the campaign and transition won t think twice about weakening these new sanctions.
