>> first vladimir putin, now donald trump meeting 1-on-1 with chinese president xi jinping. the present expect china to do more to rollback its nuclear program following launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. the us responding with its own show of force, b-1 bombers near the border with north korea. welcome everybody, i am david as his man, this is a special edition of cause of freedom, we will be monitoring that meeting overseas and if the white house makes any comments we will bring them to you immediately. in hamburg, germany all this is

going on. >> reporter: good morning. a couple minutes ago donald trump met with xi jinping for the last bilateral of the g 20, we are told we will have live video, they didn't have any questions. angela merkel is host of the g 20, we hoped we would get a press conference with donald trump, because of scheduling that has not happened, the last we will hear from the president, when that pool tape is involved, sitting down with xi jinping. donald trump to a greater degree trying to level the playing field, the president not happy about the fact $47 billion trade deficit but the more pressing, important issue is what china can do to help the united states

get north korea to rein in its nuclear program, the president's rhetoric toward china at that front is getting more aggressive lately. you saw a tweet where he pointed out the trade between north korea and china increased, that so much for china helping us with north korea. he will point out to xi jinping they have got together and do something about north korea's nuclear program, all the more urgent by the missile test earlier in the week, the intercontinental ballistic missile starting to raise the concerns north korea is capable of putting a nuclear weapon on a missile that can reach the united states, something the president will not let happen. rex tillerson, secretary of state, called it the positive pressure campaign, putting pressure on north korea, hopefully to get it to react saying if this doesn't work there are very few options left.

yesterday with about the bilateral meeting with vladimir putin of russia, the first time that we do leaders sat down together, there is a diplomatic spat coming out about who said what to whom and whose account of what transpired is accurate. the foreign minister saying when vladimir putin assured donald trump that he had nothing to do with meddling in the election donald trump, quote, accepted those assurances. the president did not accept this. he went back with vladimir putin a couple times and eventually came to the deck of the determined we could have an argument for the rest of the bilateral meeting or just say that is your position, this is my position, let's move on to other issues but to hear the secretary of state tell it yesterday the president was forceful in his admonition as to what was going on. >> the president opened the meeting with vladimir putin by raising the concern of the american people regarding

russian interference in the 2016 election. they had a very robust exchange on the subject. the president impressed vladimir putin on more than one occasion about russia involvement and vladimir putin denied such involvement as he had in the past. he pressed him, let's talk about how to go forward. that is the right place to spend our time, rather than spending time for disagreement. >> we didn't want to deliver that point. a cease-fire in syria will take effect tomorrow. and hope there will eventually be a political solution in

syria. the bilateral meeting with the president and president xi jinping, that is the last we will hear of donald trump at the g 20. it would be great to hear more from him but that is what they decide. david: terrific reporting this whole week. to kirk liphold, former commander in the u.s. navy and former commander of the uss cole. let's talk about what the president has done. it is extraordinary that his two trips abroad, all the media, mainstream media was worried whether he would be the trump from his tweets or a man of state. he has done this country well, whether he comported himself but what he is bringing home, jobs, various trade deals etc.. >> when you look at what the

president achieved he set out the mark, we as americans have to have fair trade and fair agreement in the g 20 conference, he laid out what the agenda and criteria will be. and we would make sure american interests are taken into a broader consideration, the multilateral organization meetings. >> north korea is foremost on the agenda, he did cut back in cold trade with north korea but increase their overall trade as the president pointed out in a tweet by 40%. how do we twist their arms to stop that? >> we are past the point were incremental measures are going to work. we set aside north korea, the

state department, the lead organization is this, this is not a military issue, state department at this point must develop a comprehensive breadth and depth of sanctions, here is the impact if you will support and allow north korea to build nuclear weapons, miniaturized, build and icbm capable of hitting the west coast of the united states and the entire us so that they understand we mean business. the chinese are the only ones that have leverage when 80% of the north korean economy depends on them that can apply the pressure necessary. it does need to be done, with a bunch of media and everybody else but very quietly that pressure needs to be applied and now. and committal measures no longer work. >> very quickly russia, we may be hearing from vladimir putin any moment as we won't hear from donald trump soon but we may be hearing from him, he and the

president conducted a cease-fire for part of the country of syria but differences still far outweigh those things in which we share an interest. >> the process is working, the fact we are working with the russians in their region of the world, we recognize they are going to have a role in the future of syria, we need to look at priority, how to defeat isis. will there be a political solution in syria taking into account players in the region, whether that is saudi arabia or turkey, nevertheless the fact that we and the russians are speaking is clearly progress in that arena. >> good to see you, thank you for being here, appreciate it. donald trump promising to sell us oil and gas to europeans loosening the energy supply. here's what he said in poland. >> we are committed to securing

your access to alternate sources of energy, so poland and its neighbors are never again held hostage to a single supplier of energy. >> john, great to see you. this is a win-win for the united states, it is great for energy producers when oil is coming down in price and some thought they might close up shop, if this gives them a market to deal with and it is a win for europeans, which because russians had for years, decades held what the russians didn't like. >> it all comes down to price. what will the price of natural gas and sources of energy, what will the price be, there is a lot of price back and forth that could take place and if we are

using lng as one of the fuels, a lot of infrastructure will have to be built and that infrastructure will take quite some time to build and it will need investors to fund it in the hundreds of billions of dollars if you are talking about syria's competition to russia so it is not like flipping a switch and suddenly using american supplies instead of russian supplies. david: i think of ronald reagan's plans in the early stages of his administration when he mapped out a plan for the end of the soviet union, if he didn't achieve that end for 12 years it is the next administration of the first george bush's residency but you have to start somewhere and this looks like a good beginning, no? >> absolutely. among all suppliers around the

world, we could grow the fastest, we could be the most thorough, we could be a daunting force meeting with russia but we would have to commit ourselves to it and stick with it and that is where investors come in the got to hang in, we have to begin somewhere. >> you are fluent in that language but this is a big chip for the united states in negotiations with russia, particularly a man like vladimir putin. he understands this is a real threat to market share in europe. it gives us language in negotiations over a whole range of things. >> the russian economy is entirely dependent on selling natural resources, particularly

energy resources and if they lose market share they are in deeper trouble than they would ever admit. keeping that economy going, during this period of low oil prices they have been hit hard even though they are not admitting it to the world outside. david: we have created in the six months donald trump has been in office and extra 5000 energy jobs. he is bringing the jobs. >> we are on a bit of a come back but prices are not where they need to be to bring the stability back to where investors could count on sustained growth. david: it is good for those who fill up their tank every week. you are an oil guy. great to see you, my friend, thank you for being here. anti-capitalist protesters in hamburg, germany, pushing leaders very far to the left but

what is going on in venezuela? how is that working out? >> i found the perfect stone for your ring, coming this afternoon.

david: anticapitalist protesters in hamburg pushing world leaders far to the left but look at venezuela. is that what we want for the western world? emily and wendy join us now. emily, maybe angela merkel, a lot of people wondering why she would have this in hamburg? hamburg is where a lot of radical organizations in europe are based. we knew there were going to be protests. maybe she's the world a favor by showing us the face of the radical left in europe. >> that is a good point. to the far left protest culture europe has different than what

we have. slow economic growth, the solutions the protesters would have which is expanded government with their protesting against. david: interesting that donald trump is not so well received in western europe but in eastern europe they were chanting go trump, countries that really had real life experience with social system, they seem to understand the trump message better than western europe. >> they have statues to ronald reagan. david: that was going to -- >> protesting is what makes up the fabric of any democracy but where it gets unhinged we start the question. there has been violent and uprising from the right-wing as well whether that was may 2019 this year where right-wing agitators stormed the ministry

or march 2016, decided to throw firebombs at police officers. >> no real comparison. to my question, the country's the literally deal with socialism, they are friendly to trump, the western europeans haven't actually had to live under real socialism, defining hatred of trump. >> it is not necessary hatred or love for trump. each region whether it is the western side of europe, has their own grievances and at the end of the day no one is necessarily saying what trump is doing is something is a love. is this fanfare for trump -- david: the fanfare for socialism which seems to be what protesters favor, when you look at all the examples in europe, side-by-side with western

europe, eastern european neighbors had to deal with socialism and i don't think it is coincidental that trump received a reception there. >> when you look at what it has done to their economy and what venezuela is right now to protest, violent protests, tragic protests, there is no better case study or cautionary tale of the dangers of socialism and government control over the markets, they would do themselves a favor to look there and learn from that example and stop trying to bring it to their own countries and cause suffering among their own people. >> we have seen these protesters every time there is a big international meeting whether it is in europe or over here and i'm always wondering don't these people have jobs? they have a lot of time on their hands. >> good question but for some people they don't have jobs and -- david: how can you do that?

these people are able-bodied people that could presumably get a job if they wanted to. >> that is where the frustration is, they are able-bodied people but their government is not creating opportunities for them to get jobs with you hit on the deck of what their frustration lies upon. david: i think the government in europe gives them plenty of opportunities to take various forms of welfare which gives them time to go to demonstrations like this. >> that is the one thing. the notion the government is giving their opportunities, the government should get out of the way and opportunities will come. we know jobs are not created by government, there created by free market so that is the key point. david: thank you for being here. russian president vladimir putin holding a news conference. he thinks donald trump thinks his denial of russian meddling in us, better to ask trump himself. rex tillerson, our secretary of

state has said they went back and forth a couple times and figured out there were other things on which they could agree that they should spend time talking. meanwhile congress is returning to work, tax cuts, healthcare the major issues, one republican congressman saying cancel the august recess and get these things done now. >> after more [dubbadash]

david: clock is ticking in congress, they are planning their august recess, what needs to get done. >> congress will report back to work after a ten day fourth of july holiday. they will get washington for 15 days until july 28th and members of the house and senate will leave for their august recess taking the whole month often to

labor day. repealing and replacing obamacare, tax reform reading in several spending and passing a budget before the end of this fiscal year when the government runs out of money. congress adjourned for the fourth of july holiday, several members helped paul ryan to cancel the august recess to tackle this list. a right letter said during the 2016 election donald trump and republican candidates running for the house and senate promised the american people that with 5 republican government we could achieve policy priorities that have been mere wishes for the last several years. a group of republican senators sent a similar letter to mitch mcconnell urging him to cancel as well. meanwhile kellyanne conway has made it clear donald trump want to results. >> the president will be working throughout august, put him down for wanting people to work hard.

he out works all of us as hard as we try. >> democrats:republican colleagues to cancel their august recess to address a series of public health issues, the opioid epidemic and gun violence. it may be unlikely the recess will be canceled or shortened this year there has been no one on either side of the aisle speaking out in favor of summer vacation. david: that would be a little too much. my next guest is one of those congressman pushing for congress to work through the august recess, republican andy biggs from arizona joined me now. is it getting any traction? >> its undercurrent where little pebbles rolling down the hill to create an avalanche but -- david: you need a majority in order to have a quorum. you can have all the democrats not show up and all the

republicans show up and get stuff done. >> absolutely you could blues not sure it would work out just like that, but the reality is we want to get something done. a lot of us coming, a lot of old-timers continue it vital, i am very hopeful. david: tracy was saying it is one of those things where nobody will say we have to have a recess. no one wants to it missed they have to have a vacation but they are having and tying about going along with canceling the august recess. it is a long shot. >> it is a long shot but the optics are so bad to take four or five weeks off when we have budget deadline looming, debt ceiling debate that has to take place, plus big timber, the health care repeal and tax reform, what we have to get

done. david: there is one thing congress people would like to avoid, going to town hall meetings, some of which have become riotous. i remember tea parties back in the day after the 2010 elections got traction, now the left wing is putting its people in the audiences, it is hard to get business done at these town halls. >> the realities, every weekend with constituents, business groups, voters of all kinds talk to people and it comes back to the same. they want something done and it is hard to get something done when we are not in session. david: it is hard to get stuff done when you are in session. the left side and right side, the left wants to keep medicaid spending, the right side wants to cut a lot of it off.

i'm wondering, what concerns me the most is tax cuts could get crowded out by this focus on health care. >> one thing everybody is unified on his the tax reform package. that is a sound board, you need to -- we are working on that. why would you unplug for a month and not stay plugged in and get stuff done. david: let's leave it on that hopeful note. good to see you. have a wonderful vacation. take one if you don't and get some work done. donald trump meeting with china's president xi jinping at the g 20 summit. do more to stop north korea's nuclear growth. and twhe reserves. our 18 year old was in an accident.
