leaders said that and they expressed support for president trump, who is leading the way to try to get china to make changes. okay. structural changes, ip theft, forced transfer of technology, high tariffs, et cetera. every single one of them. i was in that room, so that s why i m saying what you may have said, and i don t know where these guys said that, is out of context. now, let me also add no, not about where you no, i have look, i have to take issue with that because he said they may look, there are a lot of people who think china needs to be dealt with, but they do not like how the president is doing it, and that was boris johnson saying we don t like tariffs on the whole. and he said we re in favor of trade peace on the whole. he wanted to register a note of our view on the trade war. at tusk, this would lead to a recession, macron, this is bad for everyone. this is what they have said, even if they have expressed some solidarity or empathy with what the president is
because trade policies that we have had in the past have lost us millions of good paying jobs. and were written primarily by large corporations at the expense of workers and farmers. we need a rational trade policy today, not what trump is doing by tweet. i want to talk about medicare for all now. you revealed annition to your plan this week, saying if companies save money by switching from union health care from a union negotiated health care plan to medicare for all, those savings would have to be passed along to those workers who belong to that union. right. how would you explain to non-union americans why they should not also receive a benefit for giving up their private insurance if, for instance, theirs saves money as well going to medicare for all? well, they are going to receive an enormous benefit, the whoever whelming majority of american people are going to pay significantly less for better health care under medicare for
isn t that would be optically very significant. there s a bad call politically on the president s part. russia does not deserve to be in the g8. i like a lot, as you heard, i like a lot of what the president is doing. i don t like the way he deals with some of these dictators whether it s north korea or russia. i m disappointed he s making the call and i hope it s resisted and he s not included. this is the rick santorum from rick should challenge trump. there you go. he almost won in 2012. a much better version of president trump, don t you think? bill is trying to destroy my credibility right here. so keeping that in mind, though, do you think this is really going to happen? no. you don t? no. so full agreement, you do not think russia will be brought back in or will be a part of the summit? the europeans have not been very tough on russia, as rick
wants to go to bat for, whether it s ag or steel. u.s. steel declared a 70% drop in their market value as a result of these tariffs. you know what struck me about the clip you showed of trump. he looks depressed and demoralized. yeah, i always have second thoughts. why not? look, his economists have told him privately, we re slowing down. we re at some risk of really topping into a recession. his political people have told him his numbers have gone down, not up. this base play he made with the nativist rhetoric and on elijah cummings and the four congresswomen, he sees bad economic news coming and bad political news coming, and he s a demoralized guy. i don t see that at all. he hates being there. he does not like these kinds of things. you give him too much credit. he hates being at these
things are not getting better for the people who are struggling in this economy. and i think the democrats need to be making that message forcefully. i wish he was making a forceful message like you just did, he should be pushing the people who are swirling in cash, use it to build plants and equipment, to be at optimistic on the economy as trump talks, as he talks. thank you, ambassador mike froman, for your service to the country. ben, thank you as well. you and jill are sticking with us. next, trump versus the world. i ll fight anybody in the house for a dollar. remember this photo from the last g7, this is like one of those pictures you see in bar windows, like one of the republican presidents sitting there with his arms crossed defiantly in front of other world leaders. i would put my money on merkel. here we go again, america s allies are bracing for another contention summit, a stormy one other there in france and trying to figure out how to keep trump from blowing it up.
