character assassination. we ve seen it time and time again. and i think that we really need to look at the way the process is handled. they did this with director pompeo. somebody who is incredibly qualified, should have been moved forward much quicker and frankly with a lot more bipartisan support. you have one of the most uniquely qualified individuals that s coming in to take on the role of secretary of state. somebody who they unanimously supported in previous positions and they play political games. one of the big reasons americans are so frustrated with washington bill: you re right about pompeo from 15 months ago. are democrats guilty of being effective blockers or is the white house guilty of not being effective veters? i think you have to look back at how history has operated in the past. you had votes for people like john kerry. when you have people that are voting for john kerry both republicans and democrats yet
when president trump says it s an honor to call you my friend. no greater honor the president can bestow upon our nation and our country can than a state visit. every state visit has deliverables. before they are accepted there is negotiation as to what they can expect to leave the country with. some will be announced today and some nft future. macron will return to france with a successful visit. something he can applaud back home. the president is going to also be able to tell the american people that not only our alliance with france is strong, it is stronger because of this visit. english friend of mine called me kind of jealous and said you know but for the french you americans would be speaking english. and that s true. bill: marc and tom, when you think about foreign leaders watching this trip. macron jumped on the opportunity. smart move. yeah, very smart move. not just foreign leaders

it is all non-arab powers. iranians, turks, russians, israelis and americans. iran is trying to ratify the status quo largely because it has won. its presence in iraq and syria is now entrenched. bashar al assad has survived and it is consolidating power over syria, and yemen, and qatar have failed. the rifts within the arab world continue to deepen. for this time, russia aligning itself with israel, but having the outside balancer that america once was. this is the power broker in the middle east that everyone talks to. this is not because russia is powerful, but because it has been shrewd. since 1973 when henry kissinger
world s richest man. his second act is giving his tens of billions away. i asked him how he feels about the trump presidency, the america first agenda, and why he spends most of his money on none americans. an eye-opening interview. also, it may be frigid at the olympics, but relations between the two koreas continue to warm. what is behind kim jong-un s offensive? is it real or a ploy? we ll explore. but first, here s my take. there s a lot to be optimistic about today. in almost every part of the world, economies are growing and more poverty and disease are receding, but then there s the middle east. syria remains a collapsed country. more than 5 million of its people have already fled. yemen is now the site of the world s worst famine and the war seems unlikely to end there
