12:16 pm
low clouds building up. our satellite-radar showing plenty of cloud coverage and it is a bit damp out there. just feels overall wet. this camera shot from our sutro camera showing a little bit of raindrops there on your screen. i want to show you some of the precipitation just along the coast has measured in but barely anything. trace amounts along the coast and north bay. chance of drizzle throughout the day. cloudy and cool. here's futurecast. you see the chance of drizzle. you see the green showing up but not measurable. just a trace. just a few raindrops expected throughout the afternoon hours. and by 6:00 or so, the cloud coverage will linger to the north bay may clear up a little bit making for a cool night tonight and a cool morning tomorrow. and then by tomorrow afternoon, look at that, the sunshine is expected. that's when high pressure will really start to build in our area. our wind speeds right now out of the southwest at half moon

12:21 pm
>> yesterday you said you would be open as to signing just about any immigration deal that a bipartisan group of lawmakers would send to you. >> right. >> would you be sign an immigration that doesn't include funding for the border wall? >> no. >> would that be a red flag for you? >> no. got to include the wall. we need the wall for security and safety and for stopping the drugs from pouring in. i would imagine that the people in the room both democrat and republican, i really believe they are going to come up with a solution to the daca problem which has been going on for a long time. and maybe beyond that immigration as a whole. but any solution has to include the wall because without the wall, it all doesn't work. you could look at other instances, look at what happened in israel. they put up the wall. they solved a very major problem. we need the wall. we have to have the wall for security purposes. security is number one. so the answer is have to have
12:22 pm
the wall. thank you. and please? >> yes. . [ indiscernible ] >> mr. president, prime minister, recently an american general robert nailer told his marines based in norway there's a war coming, a big fight. mr. president, how imminent is that big war? and where will it take place? >> when you say the big war, you're saying what? >> it was an american general, robert nailer, he visited norway, the american marines base in norway and said there's a war coming. a big [ indiscernible ] >> maybe he knows something that i don't know. okay? [ laughter ] >> i would say this -- i would say this, we have a very, very powerful military. we are getting more powerful by the month, by the day. we're ordering a lot of the equipment that you're ordering,
12:23 pm
we're ordering it in larger amounts to put it mildly. we are building up our military to a point that we have never been before. we're also -- we were very much weakened over the last long period of time but not with me. no, i don't expect that. i think we're going to have, because of strength, peace through strength. i think we're going to have a long period of peace. i hope we do. we have certainly problems with north korea. but a lot of good talks are going on right now. a lot of good energy. i see a lot of good energy. i like it very much what i'm seeing. i just spoke this morning with the -- as you know, with the president, president moon, of south korea. he had some really great meetings, his representatives had a great, great meeting. and i had some very good feedback from that. so hopefully, a lot of good things are going to work out. no, i think that we will have peace through strength. our military will be stronger than it ever was in a very short period of time.
12:24 pm
and that's my opinion. that's not the general's opinion. but i think my opinion counts more right now. [ laughter ] >> thank you. >> maybe i could just add that the reason why we're so happy we have your marines training in norway is [ indiscernible ] the strategy to make sure we don't have a war in the future. >> did you have a question? you were supposed to ask a question. did you have a question for the prime minister? >> i did, yes, thank you. >> madam prime minister, president trump has said that the investigation into russian collusion makes our country, quote, look very bad. and he said this morning that, quote, the world is laughing at our stupidity. so my question to you is, are you laughing at the russian investigation? >> i think -- i think that it's up to every political system and country to scrutinize and discuss their own political agenda in their countries and i respect that very much. and that this is an issue for american politics. just like to say that it has impacted also in europe. i think all european countries
12:25 pm
have to have had elections this year, have been looking into will there be anytime of tampering? we couldn't find any proof of any attempts to affect us from countries outside norway in our elections. very norwegian election with norwegian participants. >> there is collusion, but it's really with the democrats and the russians, far more than it is with the republicans and the russians. so the witch hunt continues. john, go ahead. [ pause ] >> thank you, mr. president. i also have a question for the prime minister. but if i could address the president first. sarah brought up the russia investigation. um, your legal team, sources have told us, believe that in the next few weeks the special counsel robert mueller will ask for some sort of an interview with you your legal team believes as part of wrapping up his investigation.
12:26 pm
are you open to meeting with him? would you be willing to meet with him without condition or would you demand that a strict set of parameters be placed around any encounter between you and the special counsel? >> again, john, there has been no collusion between the trump campaign and russians or trump and russians. no collusion. when i watch you interviewing all the people leaving their committees and the democrats are all running for office and they are trying to say this, that, but bottom line they all say there's no collusion. and there is no collusion. and when you talk about interviews, hillary clinton had an interview where she wasn't sworn in, she wasn't given the oath, they didn't take notes, they didn't record. and it was done on the 4th of july weekend. that's perhaps ridiculous and a lot of people looked upon that as being, um, a very serious breach and it really was. but again, i'll speak to attorneys. i can only say this, there was
12:27 pm
absolutely no collusion. everybody knows it. every committee -- i have been in office now for 11 months. for 11 months, they have had this phony cloud over this administration, over our government. and it has hurt our government. it does hurt our government. it's a democrat hoax that was brought up as an excuse for losing an election that frankly the democrats should have won because they have such a tremendous advantage in the electoral college so it was brought up for that reason. but it has been determined that there is no collusion and by virtually everybody, so we'll see what happens. >> would you be open -- >> we'll see what happens. certainly i'll see what happens. but when they have no collusion and nobody has found any collusion at any level, it seems unlikely that you would even have an interview. >> madam prime minister, norway shares a small but strategic border with russia. president trump's position has been it's better to try to work with vladimir putin if possible than to work against him. >> mm-hm. >> where do you come down on
12:28 pm
that idea? better to work with him than not to? > well, i think russia is an important player in the international world and i don't think you can not work with and talk to. but on the other hand, it's important to say that we have a line with all the fences as the [ indiscernible ] as the european union has done and a member of nato and interconnected to that and we have also suffered some economic difficulties in some areas and based on those sanctions. but on the other hand, we have a very good relationship with russia over that border area where we do have very much free movement of people, especially people moving to and from. we have very large corporation on sustainable fisheries in the area. it's the biggest cod area in the world with sustainable resource. we patrol it and work together. so we think it's important to do two things at the same time,
12:29 pm
yet the international law is firm and clear, there was a break of that through the annexation of crimea and ukraine and we stand by all our allies with that but at the same time, as a neighboring country, we do day to day work on things that we have to solve for the people and the economic activity that is in that area. and it's a fragile area for the whole world. >> to add to the answer, i think it is much better to work with russia. it's very much better having to do with north korea where we currently have a problem that should have never been my problem. this should have been a problem solved many years ago when it was much less dangerous but it was given to me along with a big mess of other things. but i will say this. i am for massive oil and gas and everything else, and a lot of energy. putin can't love that. i am growing the strongest military that the united states ever had. putin can't love that. but hillary was not for a
12:30 pm
strong military and hillary, my opponent, was for windmills and she was for other types of energy that don't have the same capacities at this moment certainly. so i just want to say that it's a lot better to work with other countries. we're working with china, north korea, we're working with various other countries and i think we're doing very well. we had a great talk as you know and reported, we had a great talk this morning with president moon. i think a lot of good things are happening. i think a good things are happening. we'll see what happensen but working with other countries, whether it's russia or china or india or any of the countries that surround this world and encompass this world. that's a good thing, john. that's not a bad thing. that's a very good thing. okay. go ahead. >> mr. president, prime minister , you have decided to
