highest peak on the north american continent. i think a lot of the criticism is just the fact that obama would spend the time and the effort and political capital on such a thing when the middle east is a tinder box and our economy sucks and so many things are going wrong and he would make it a big deal to come up here and rename a mountain. that s a lot of the criticism. obama, the emphasis of his trip was the highlight of climate change is affecting alaska and alaskans like most other states. winter temperatures have warmed an average of 6% over 50 years, twice the national average. new talk may vanish entirely as the river rises. listen to what the president had to say. any so-called leader who does not take this issue seriously or
believe in protecting america s national security interests. there is no way we would be able to ensure that better than approving this deal and ensuring iran is not able to get access to weapons and we can shift our focus ongoing after their terrorist ambitions and most importantly i had the privilege of talking with president obama last night who assured me that as we move forward and discussed with israel and hit the enhanced package that will be essential for us to provide to israel as well as ensure that we tighten our ability to enforce this deal and they will be working with him on that. that s critical for me. a very, very difficult decision for you. it has been. there is a lot of politics i want to talk to you about as well. the debates and hillary clinton and planned parenthood. you agreed to come back and you will talk on tuesday to address that. thank you so much for talking about this tough decision.
author of the upcoming boat sweet freedom: a devotional. thanks for joining us. thank you so much. i wish you were here to conduct the interview. we would be speaking in this beautiful vista together. thanks for letting me be on. let s talk about alaska. one of the reasons we wanted to talk you to. president obama visited your home state of alaska for a rather significant presidential visit. he talked about a lot of things but started with officially changing the name of the tallest peak in north america, changing it back from mt. mckinley to denali. the move was praised by alaska s governor. criticized by donald trump. who promise to change the name back. you referred to the mountain as denali an your secret service code name aus pointed out. where do you come on the change? i have one niece named mckinley, another named denali. i think that s indicative of the
headlines for the kurds and the middle eastern people he made in an interview with hugh hewett. he said if you don t know the answers to these questions, you are not fit to be commander in chief, he suggested. trump said it amounted to a game of gotcha. what did you think? i think i would rather have a president who is tough and puts america first than can win a game of trivial pursuit. i don t know if other candidates were posed the same question and i don t know if they had the answers, but i don t think the public gives a flying flip if they know who is a specific leader of a specific region or religion. that leader will change of course when the next president comes into power just based on the volatility of politics in the other areas.
treats it like a joke is not fit to lead. do you take climate change seriously? i take changes in the weather, the cyclical changes that the globe has undergone since the beginning of time, i take it seriously, but i m not going to blame the changes on man s footprint. obama was up here looking at the glaciers and pointing out a glacier that was receding the others are growing up here. he didn t highlight that. he used glaciers as an example. one of the markers that they used to measure the glacier that he was talking about, they started measuring supposedly as per this marker back in the early 1800s. then they started showing from there how it shrunk. it receded. man s footprint, the first muck luck was not even near that
