a good thing. it was good. i think what we is get everybody else behind him like nato and way.the message that i also think and i think it's a reat thing that he was meeting with china's leadership because now they're sitting right next they kind of say, hey, this guy is for real. he's not messing around. and even if people say he's acky or whatever, unstable, psychotic which i don't think people have medical degrees that media all the time. i think that kind of says, okay, do something and i think that's pretty good about

that. i really think that's a big problem. on the h your statement tweets before that, well, this

is what donald trump said several years ago. well, you know what? we never got that from the oer dministration and it's the he didn't go in people in the media would say we in.uldn't go they have to have that 24/7, you know, just bash trump and no matter what he does, he did the wrong thing. taking my call and i want to wish everybody out happy holidays. happy passover. happy whatever holiday you want to celebrate. i also want to say happy easter because that's what i celebrate we can say that more now that trump is in. host: thank you. to promote something here coming up. senator chris murphy, democrat connecticut presents his knew

approach -- economic development humanitarian assistance. he's a member of both the senate relations and senate appropriations committee. ur live coverage starts monday at 12:30 p.m. eastern right here on c-span. go now to joe calling in from the bronx. he's a democrat. joe. caller: good morning. i'm joe. usually when i call, i describe counselor fromhe the bronx new york. what i want people o know because i'm speaking -- what i'm doing is to relate what the people from main street, not thepeople from wall street, people from main street. first of all, the question answered first, what is national interest? international interest. -- in the national interest. what is national.

don't s a lot of people know what national and international is. is . national interest america. international is other countries in the world. therefore, what the people from main street are telling me, there is not national interest. this is nonsense. kay. number two, i already knew when i heard or saw what showedpening on tv, they the kids exposing, i know it's their ng they had under sleeves which is their people to go and do something. they do e same thing every time they want to go to a third world country where they people. brown and black that's all the countries they go o, to kill these people that lie on them, take their little resources, and call them all names, terrorists and names.

hey're not going to england or scandinavia. they don't go to all these countries, european countries with white people that look like them. understand that. so therefore in conclusion today let me say this to the american people, what trump did there is divert from what russia and trump did to rig that took place there in 2016. host: next we have john calling illinois. he's a republican. john, what did you think about he strikes on syria this past week? caller: i think it was a little too quick action by the president. i think what's going on over there, we're fighting isis. this could have been a device had over there because they're not above chemical weapons. i think what happened was isis

did this. going to they were divert it. trump is getting off base here syria.g a war against it's not his business what's going on in syria. they elected that guy president. feelings about the syrians. but i think we made a mistake trump is wrong, if evidence shows that we were it's just going to be another laughable matter and trump is going to look like a monkey. of course if he's right he's going to look great. .22.guy is in a catch and the last call comes from value from minneapolis, minnesota. she's an independent. caller: hi. during the campaign, trump often talked about how and obama created isis. or isil. you want to give them. in to syria e went as a cover.

you know. and also i don't think that any proof of anything that is nk that, nfortunate that there are americans who support what these in syria.s we support so many things that officials do and we as american citizens, we require ke, we don't any proof or any evidence of like are on we just sorry for just feel the syrian people but also for people in and the afghanistan. we seem to be so quick to murder really sad.hat is thank you for taking my call. in.t: thank you for calling let's take a quick look at tomorrow's show.

o'clock, a conversation about nuclear and chemical weapons. t 8:30, craig shirley will be here to talk about the rise of ronald reagan. 9:15, a conversation about the u.s.-mexico border arrests. will do it for today's program. thanks for making "washington a part of your morning. we'll be back here tomorrow at 7:00 o'clock. until then, enjoy the rest of your saturday.
