What Macron’s clash with Islam reveals about France
Macron also asked (in the sternest sense of the term) Muslim leaders to agree to a “charter of republican values”
“Liberté, égalité, fraternité” – Liberty, equality, fraternity. These were the values which inspired the French Revolution of 1789. It’s a compelling idea: regardless of background, anyone who chooses to be part of France is French and has access to these values. Although it has been a long climb towards equality, until recently these ideals remained the goal, a bulwark which provided inspiration to peoples across the globe and were the basis of French pride.

that you re better off confronting trump face-to-face rather than trying to be nice with him in person, then waiting for him to send a nasty tweet to you as he s flying back home. it is weird, though, that the u.s. is now pursuing relations in a friendlier way with russia, with north korea, you know, erdogan is welcomed with open arms at, you know, at the white house. you know, duterte in the philippines, trump seems to admire him as well. and yet our actual allies, you know, get bruskness. this is the world turned upside down. i think this is part of what macron was referring to with his infamous interview where he said nato was suffering brain death, and what he was really talking about are the actions of turkey and the united states, which are so at odds with what the other members of nato think, and of course you have this bizarre spectacle today where trump said that was a very nasty comment whereas trump himself had said
russia, with north korea, you know, erdogan is welcomed with open arms at, you know, at the white house, you know, duterte in the philippines, trump seems to admire him as well, and yet our actual allies, you know, get brusqueness. this is the world turned upside down. i think this is part of what macron was referring to with his infamous interview where he said nato was suffering brain death, and what he was really talking about are the actions of turkey and the united states, which are so at odds with what the other members of nato think, and of course you have this bizarre spectacle today where trump said that was a very nasty comment where trump himself had said nato is obsolete. in the way he behaves with our nato allies, trump is proving macron s point about nato being on life support. nasty he said, max, thanks very much. we ll be right back, more news ahead.
these countries need to understand when these advantages dry up such as intelligence gathering or trade opportunities, we lose reason to want to be there. brian: joey, i m outraged what macron did over the weekend. sitting there making a speech telling us that nationalism is the opposite of patriotism? don t worry about us and nationalism. we re bailing them out that s what i learn over 100 years world war i followed up by world war ii. number two he is sitting there were thing to put a european force together. go ahead and do it. why would that be a threat to us? the problem is they can t do that they don t want to spend any money on their defense. let me tell macron something, it s not just rhetoric it s true. not because of the power of the military or riches or system of government. because we are the only place in the world would we all look different and we all love each other anyway. when someone falls down we pick them back up. the things we believe in
