true. >> o'dwyer passing of paul manafort, we are not sure when it began, during this campaign worker went further back because the focus from what we can tell on his work with the ukrainian government. was actually to fisa courts being served for mr. manafort. one during the obama administration and one at the beginning of the trump administration. it could be said that of course president obama wiretapped president -- candidate trumps campaign manager, but it can also be said the trump administration, trump justice department have been wiretapped afterwards. >> i'm glad they're bringing this up to you because the order was discontinued 2015 by the court. another fisa warrant started in early 2017. this is not during the heat of the campaign. still under the obama administration. the timing is this makes it look

like the obama administration was wiretapping paul manafort. that trump tower by the way. >> absolutely. first of all, none of us should have anything to talk about because these are leaks. people should not be talking about who was wiretapped in what they were looking for. as usual we have to talk about it because it's out there. it does give a lot of credibility to the president's claim that he was been wiretapped and we all know what he meant was that his campaign, his world was being looked into. it wasn't the most precise statement, but it does mean that's exactly what was happening here. first it was finished because there wasn't any evidence until they looked into it again. paul manafort involving your campaign, you might expect a given his ties to ukrainians and russians and others. cheryl: i have to say to this point, it's interesting just this summer paul manafort had to register as an agent still doing work with ukrainian.

all of this looking back for the president in terms of pr perspective. over to the u.n. with this big speech from president trump. i thought they kind of took a shot at the u.n. that needed to happen. we are covering the fifth of their operating budget and he came in and that in a nutshell, we are tired of paying for the inaction of the united nations. do you think the united nations bogus unwell to today's speech? >> i'm hoping the same sort of presidential quality, today is obviously a lot more strategic, high-minded, philosophical about what to expect from the trump talk trinity will the foreign policy resister was my tactical for financing the vast majority of the united nations. cheryl: it is interesting because while we know from the white house come he's going to

basically save america first is not about alone, but the united nations should be about inclusive of all nations and they shouldn't be certain nations covering financially and also militarily covering the breadth of the united nations. >> yeah, at this beach is why we think it's going to become of the most important part is it's likely out, like a speech in warsaw, thursday out of doctrinal point of view and space. the united nations is not in effect of organization. it is a gathering of the world's powers from a subtext most powerful powers are the ones who matter the most in everyone's interested in national sovereignty. the united nations was formed with justice talent involved. they were advancing the soviet state. every country is therefore it don't interest. the only one who pretends that the time during the obama hears that we are there to do the world. no we are not.
