will president trump be prepared, you know president putin is kgb and this and that. you know what, putin is fine. he s fine. we re all fine. we re people. will i be prepared? totally prepared. i ve been preparing for this stuff my whole life. so the president praises putin. he reluctantly calls out russia meddling in america s election. now he s going to have a one-on-one meeting with the president without anybody around. appropriate? well, many of us are concerned. i certainly am. about the president s ongoing rhetoric that really demeans or ridicules our allies and praises our adversaries. and so this is part of kind of a continuum. and yes, it does concern me. i m glad that the president is talking to vladimir putin. i m glad that he s talking to north korea, as well. but i am concerned and i know there is concern across europe
enough so that portions of the cave became walkable. on top of that, there were still areas that were still under water, and that s where these divers have been doing exactly what experts have been counseling for days. put the boys in full face masks, and then as they entered the submerged portions of the cave, as we understand it, what happened was one diver would go in front, carrying the air supply for that boy, pulling the boy along behind him, and the other diver would come behind. that s how they went from that many people in the cave to this many people being out, which is a big improvement, dana. no question. and you have that graphic up there. do you have any sense i know it s hard to get a sense of what the conditions are inside. but in terms of the length and how far these rescuers had to travel and these four boys had to travel back to get out. yeah, the maps are all over the place. they re kind of a mess. but by some accounts, as much as
total incompetence of the administration being unable to reunite them. this turns them off. and then the whole question of the personal behavior of donald trump, the way he talks, his demeaning characterization of women, the way he insults everyone. this turns a lot of well-educated white women, whom he needs, if he s going to be re-elected, off. true. but a lot of them also voted for him, and all of those characteristics were out in full force in 2016. do you think it s different now that he s president? i do think it s different for a couple reasons. one, the separation of families, i think, was a bridge too far. even for donald trump. i think there was a backlash in the quote, unquote, heartland of america. i think people seeing families literally ripped apart by government agents was too much. and which caused them to reverse, at least on paper, their policy. now there have been some of the macro economic numbers are good. the truth of the matter is, american working class and
have you ever seen anything even remotely close to this challenge? i have not personally, no. nothing that i ve been involved in. i have done a few rescues where conditions have been silted out. a cave is an unforgiving environment. when you cannot see, you lose that sense. and that means braille. the goal line becomes that much more critical. so hats off to these divers, and they re probably best in the world. they do dive a lot of sumps and that s exactly what this cave is. and you know some of them. have you heard from them? i have not heard from them. i do know rick stanton, one of the key individuals, and rick is very equipped for doing this kind of thing. richard harris. i do know of a few of them, in the community, very small community, maybe 5% of the diving community in the world are cave divers. and at this level of diving, you can narrow that down to perhaps another 3%. it s really remarkable. what is your sense in watching what they re doing now, which is trying t
in the congress, and we talk about how, you know, statements are made. sometimes they re walked back. but for the president to say that nato is as bad as nafta, in many ways is it s okay, because we think nafta is good as well. but when our nato allies hear something like that, you can imagine how they feel. particularly those who are right on the front lines. you have countries, as well we visited finland as well as sweden. they re not members of nato, but they are enhanced partners, and so we work and coordinate with them and do exercises with them. it s important for them, as well. and finland, for example, is spending 2% of their gdp on defense, although they re not even a nato member. but they know exactly what the threat is, being right next to russia. speaking of russia, i want to talk about what the president has said about vladimir putin, in light of the fact that he has an upcoming meeting with vladimir putin. listen to the president this past week.
