we didn t get that, we just got a cold transcript. this will be one of the most important charles the nation has ever faced in a federal courtroom. that courtroom is paid for by american dollars, it is the peoples courtroom, and they should be able to see what is happening inside. given what you know about her neil, what is the likelihood that she would do that? well, i don t know. she is a confirmed federal judge, so it is my hope that she listens to arguing and reason, and just how important this is. i think the chief justice, people will ultimately make that call. i could see him doing that. he is the chief justice who authorized to the live audio arguments to the supreme court, and audio, and i think the nations have a very powerful example of the importance of televised trials, they can do it well with the george floyd case the, and folks were so
leadership. and absent from leadership, as you point out, on the environment in our very own hemisphere with brazil. brazil ought to be first concern of the united states. i think nick put it exactly right, that this summit, sadly, is a measure of our isolation, of our having stepped back from leadership. this is a world that needs american leadership, especially as economies begin to head south. and as nick says, it s just a violation of what i think most of us think america should do in the world. be a leader. enunciate policies, be clear and look at this weekend in which we were very much in the backseat. you have to compliment emanuel macron from avoiding an all-out blowout. he finessed the edges, if you will, to get around the problems that donald trump brought to france. thank you so much, nick burns, david ignatius.
he said he only ran one race and won. that s not true. he ran for the reform party nomination. that was short lived. he did run before. i think it was good. he can bring out some arguments that i would make, would like to make, which are conservative economic arguments and why this horrific trade deal is so bad for american business, american company and what he calls america first. it is hurting everyone. it s hurting retirement accounts. it hurts the poor. very disproportionately. 25% tariff on tomatoes, let s say, is no big deal to donald trump, bill gates or people who have means. it s the difference between eating and not eating today for someone who is poor. and those are the we get into it s too long to explain. supply chains that get broken up. and him saying i m ordering businesses. and he s trying to have the opposite side of the argument, that china can rescind all forget about china. this hurts america.
