there was soviet money behind the mass protests you saw in the united states and western europe at the time. i know of no reason to believe that russia is not doing the exact same thing right now to stop the modernization of our nuclear triad or stop theflood of advanced weapons dozens . that's simply what russia does. russia is a country that now have a dvd barely less-than-perfect 10 percent of america's. the ddd falls on the site california, and in new york. smaller than italy. >> smaller than the combined gdp of the five nordic countries, they have to find ways to achieve an advantage that is not based on marshaling bath resources and what they call active measure campaigns, what we would call propaganda or covert influences one of the way russia is weathering the soviet era to achieve that advantage by holding western opinion and dividing nato countries. >> what we open up to the floor and thank you since this is not our injuries yet she started. >>. >> for the folks, just wait for the microphone and identify yourself and ask it in the form of a question. >> thank you for those re

seen in this g20 trip and this polish trip is an incredible contrast between the old europe, western europe and the new europe, eastern europe. you look at the response that president trump got because you see people that understand what it means to live under the yolk of tyranny, communism and socialism. you've seen the collapse of the social welfare system in western europe and protests out there. i find it funny, david, that we have young people that are complaining about capitalism and the free market, but yet, they're holding up smartphones. david: that's right, that's right. how do they get that extra? i never understood how they get all that time off to go to the protests. let me say one thing about the president, despite the fact that he stood firm. he doesn't give any quarter on our values and our principles and our leadership role in the world, at the same time, he has gotten concessions from the europeans, as much as they would hate to admit it. here he is, i believe we've got a sound bite of him talking about this earlier. take a listen. >> my administration has demanded that al

robert: is that how western europe saw it? >> that is a theme that was overriding but if you watched the speech, if you are in western europe, you would get comfort of president trump's statement about the western world united in the same way that doyle mentioned. about these issues of religion or god rather than the democratic values. i wanted to add to peter's point about russia and the west that that being sort of alliance echoing when it comes to syria. that is the sort of alliance that secretary tillerson is pointing out when he says we have very common interests when it comes to syria. robert: after all the cold war tensions between the u.s. and soviet union, you think trump sees russia as part of the west? >> when it comes to, some of his advisers talked about this, when it comes to fighting jihadism or what they call radical islamic terrorism, in syria, fighting the threat of isis, they see them as a partner and they say it's more important to fight this together as opposed to being opposed to russia. >> the bigger pic

the kgb had efforts to manipulate western opinion in europe and the united states about the deployment of the intermediate range cruise missiles in 1983. there was much soviet money behind the mass protest in the united states and western europe at the time. i know of no reason to believe that russia is not doing the exact same thing right now to try to stop the modernization of our nuclear triad or to stop the deployment of advanced west him -- weapon systems. remember, russia is a country that now has a gdp of barely less than 10% of american gdp. it's smaller than the size of california or texas or new york, smaller than italy. it's smaller than the combined gdp of the five largest country so the have to find ways to achieve strategic advantage that is not going to depend on marshaling vast resources. call activeey measure campaigns are what we call covert influence is one of the ways russia long attempted to achieve the advantage by holding western opinion and dividing nato countries between themselves. >> let's open it up to the floor. we will start with andrew to get us started.

the only way they can win is by having everybody else lose in democratic countries in western europe. >> they are playing a losing hand. and he is playing it by trying monkey around with the mechanics of western democracies. donald trump's number one mission is to protect the legitimacy of the united states, its rule of law, its constitution. he is in a way boxed this politically but he can't allow himself as president to behave that way. he has to be tough with putin. he has to say, look, i know what you're doing. you can't do it anymore. putin will come back and say you guys, you monkeyed around and trump has to have a comeback. he has to have a long game with putin. >> he has to punch putin in the face with this. putin must know it's coming. what comes next? if that doesn't come, i think trump will be laughed at. >> there's a bipartisan consensus you'd have to do. first you want to go after the hackers that messed with the election. >> personally. you want to go after organized crime that's putting money in putin's coffers and you want to stand with nato and make clear, we stand wi

by state department accounts, russia has been testing a new cruise missile that can strike western europe since at least 2008. at least nine years. in fact, the obama administration repeatedly warned the kremlin to cease and desist. the state department formally declared russia in violation of the treaty in 2014. and every year thereafter, and yet they never followed up in any meaningful way. so it's no surprise that according to media reports, russia has deployed two battalions of intermediate range cruise missiles. vladimir putin is therefore eating his cake and getting to have it, too. russia remains secure in the european theater by the absceen of u.s. cruise missiles while putin has developed a new missile that counteracts china, threatens the small countries on his periphery and divides nato politically. the truth is, though, this is nothing new for russia. whether in the soviet era or the putin era. the russians take a hard-eye view of the treaties they sign. does the treaty serve their interests? it if it does, they abide by it. if it doesn't, then they don't. the soviets signed t

they are viewed from folks in western europe perhaps as being too anti-immigrant, anti-european union as well. poland obviously -- this is a conservative government here, one that has been opposed to the -- as they describe it, the sort of invasion of refugees. they have similar interests in things like coal mining. they have concerns or perhaps less interest in topics like climate change and global warming, all of which are similarities to president trump. as it relates to russia though, that's another opportunity by perhaps that simple moment, the handshake you saw there, the two of them side by side, the presidents of the united states and poland to send a strong and powerful message to russia, one of the u.s.'s adversaries even though president trump has largely praised vladimir putin and said he would like to have a good relationship with him. it sends a message to russia. one of the concerns that exists right here in the european union among the nato countries is by allying himself with poland he is sending a message to western europe. you remember they were not sats fi satisfie

well i was i would number one to say why is it that russia's reputation in western europe in the united states is what it is right it's not just grew on a tree it's a response to russian aggression it's a very low numbers terry no question we have no ok because the evidence is there that russia has interfered in the election if they have it it is russia our intelligence agencies. complete confidence high confidence put out the findings that this happened in our intelligence agencies say that that didn't happen why do you think russians should take the chessman if american intelligence agencies so over there so you're telling me that you don't think that russia interfered in the u.s. elections to look another going to accept the argument from authority that's what i'm saying i think you guys are all overcome by the argument if i thought i said i we're just asking for evidence and indeed if there is because i mean the american intelligence agencies produced this report they bought our t. is being in a major source of influence and i encourage you to go and watch the interview that we will

had that tide of individualism, populism, has it died down in western europe? we saw it on full display in poland. what about the cultural elites of france and germany? >> i think charles that brexit is an immensely powerful force. it will take many years for the full impact of brexit to be felt across europe. i'm sure many countries the next two decades will follow britain's lead and exit the european tuneon. brexit is about the principle of self-determination and national sovereignty. incredibly powerful forces here. i think you are seeing the polish government challenging the power of brussels and polish leaders calling for fund amountal change within the european union. the germans and the french trying to bully the polls. that kind of bullying is no longer flying in europe. charles: president trump declaring today that this government is toxic and what we need is the return to individualism and to preserve culture. particularly western culture. we'll talk about that next. nd n. nobody's hurt, but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance compa

40, and they passed the immigration act and that brought people from other than northern and western europe. but there was a backdoor. is we have the naturalists and natives in congress who were saying we don't want anyone who is not white entering this country. there was a real tussle happening between the two poles of american politics. what happened during the 1920s throughout the debate that is happening in congress about mexican immigration and how many are allowed to enter the country and under what terms and he said let's stop the war. let's start talking about in what way they entered the country and make sure they enter in a way that is monitored and k can be controlled. we can turn off the switch and don't need them as workers. this criminalized entry into the united states and the entire purpose of the law to enter through parts of the area. >> rather than just crossing the border. >> rather than cross the border for generations. >> who was that senator? >> his name was coleman livingston from south carolina. >> the fact thastock market -- the fact the stock market was doing well

however, there is no question that america's reputation abroad , particularly in western europe , bute -- america's reputation has been degraded by your president.

high taxation, high regulation, and that's what western europe is the model of.t's not a terrible place to live. it's not a hellhole. but it's not america. it's rather different. we have much higher attachment to the idea of liberty than we do will be quality. there is no statue of a quality in new york harbor. statue of liberty. we are different that way. that's why he's failing, it's not going to work in this country. historically speaking this is a modest attempt to get back to the ideal or the objectives of liberalism, but it's such a paltry step that unless you go to the far left, i don't see how it works. >> tucker: a party comprised of the rich and the poor cannot become a middle-class party. i wish them well. >> that's why, as you say, they turned to identity politics. it was a substitute for thinking in national terms. >> tucker: charles krauthammer, thank you. jared kushner's book behind closed doors to a senate committee today and had some words for the press. we will show you what he said coming up. plus maxine waters has her critics, including the sh

it was very difficult for a western europe lien leader, french president, german chancellor to say no proposed. >> i don't know if this is the right answer, but if you look at the public opinion polls of president trump, you can see decrease of respect with the rest of the world. you have in france, the last indication is 70% less good feeling about -- >> does that matter? because those are feelings that doesn't drive policies? >> this is important. internationalization of the leaders and the country. and of course, president trump with domestic comblpolitical coo this is good for him to show after a good trip to is paris, because it was the fourth of july. and the one center, troops coming into europe, the french allies, the best one, according to president trump. so i think it's a win-win situation for both presidents. >> thank you very much for coming on the show. it was a pleasure seeing you today and talking to us. thank you. >> thank you. >>> we have a quick programming note on monday, the duchess of cornwall will show you the different sides of camillcamill. in a rare interview

i think most of western europe, japan, and much of the united states have the problem of complacency just getting by, in life is good enough that on any given day you can do not very much, and in the short run fine, and in the long run it is worrying. you increase aggregate risk. stephen: you called mr. abe brave, you called fine, and in n it is mr. kuroda grave, or at least with break policies. do they need to take more risks? >> abenomics, the administration, the government products needs to take action o against differentiation, and they are cheaper. so badtaying afloat, not situation. theirnt is, to step up braveness to reform, to advance and reform, to prepare the future of japanese productivity. to change the structure of the society, it's an imminent issue. the current situation is too - stephen: 2030, anyone want to look into the crystal ball? that's a long time for china. >> obviously, i believe and i'm -- first that by 2030 when the policy was put into place, that product will come back. policymakers and products sectors, with strong entrepreneurship, that will all support

. >> david, it was interesting while he gave western europe something badly wanted, article 5, strong statement about russia, he was also critical about immigration in europe and also big government there. >> yeah, this was sort of the full donald trump if you will. i agree with ambassador pickering this thing about russia was smart and important. it helps him politically. he's pushing back against russia. a lot of people wanted to see that. but then there was also lots of donald trump, talked about the dangers of bureaucracy and this threat against the west. but his answer to that was sort of having the will to fight it. he didn't talk much -- the word democracy was in the speech, but he didn't talk about it that much. and most importantly he's standing in poland which has been criticized for having authoritarian regime, undermining press there and opposition and independent courts. he didn't talk about the importance of sort of the rule of law and these rules. it was more about the will to fight back and the dangers of immigration and government bureaucracy. >> and notable he attack

there is a gap of the people of eastern and western europe. eastern europe, which was under soviet oppression understands what it's like to struggle for freedom. and to hear a populist nationalist message resonates. that's a well perceived message and uplifting. if democrats want to make nationalism something evil, it promotes peace and economic advancement. they understand a means of against russia. >> we appreciate all three of you, thanks for being here tonight. coming up next on "hannity." >> as far as north korea, we will see what happens. i don't like to talk about what i have planned. >> no great options there on north korea, but military options clearly on the table. that on "hannity" when we continue. per roll bounty is more absorbent, so the roll can last 50% longer than the leading ordinary brand. so you get more "life" per roll. bounty, the quicker picker upper >> as far as north korea is concerned, we will see what happens. i don't like to talk about what i have planned. but we are thinking about some pretty severe things, but that

frustrating thing is then it's usually tied to, gee, if we just didn't have amtrak, we could be like western europe. no, right? if we spent $100 billion on new rail infrastructure, then we could be like europe. because one of the key kind of simple-minded lessons of railroading is that when you look for high speed operations which the europeans and the asians have committed to and some others, what it's all about is two things. one is the geometry of the railroad, because the japanese and it's the 50th anniversary of the shin con sen. they figured out that if with motor technology, you could pump enough horsepower into a train so that hills didn't matter. you could go up just as fast up a hill as downhill and that was a change. curves slow trains down, so everyone over there that runs high speed trains has built brand new alignments that are, for the most part, dead straight, and then they keep -- there are no commuters on them, right? there are no freight trains, there's no nothing else. if the u.s. had made a decision to go in that direction rather than invest what it has in the interstate highwa

i think most of western europe, japan, and much of the united states have the problem of complacencygetting by, and life is good enough that on any given day you can do not very much, and in the short run it is fine, and in the long run it is worrying. you actually increase your aggregate risk. that is my worry about japan, too. stephen: you called mr. abe brave, you called mr. kuroda with, or at least brave policies. do they need to take more risks? >> abenomics, the administration, the government products needs to take action to overcome differentiation and they achieved partial success. afloat in a not so good situation. my point is, to step up their braveness to reform, to advance reform, to prepare the future of japanese society to increase productivity. to change the structure of the society, it's an imminent issue. the current situation is too - cozy for everyone. stephen: 2030, anyone want to look into the crystal ball? that's a long time for china. >> obviously, i believe and i'm confident that by 2030, life will be better. there is good reason for that. first of all, we are

the most brilliant minds in western europe has spent hundreds of years trying to prove that black peopleare inferior, that there is something wrong with black people. they have yet to basically achieve that. at some point, we have to realize that the racial groups are equal. >> when books are written by these brilliant thinkers like charles murray, what is it that these books if those ideas are so preposterous, end up on the bestseller list? >> date present their statistics. typically, there statistics are misleading. they measure black people from subjective standards. because, a lot of those suggestions we commonly believe in, it appears that they are presenting truth. it appeared that what they were saying was truthful, because they had the backing of science, god, nature, or logic.>> before i go inside the text stamped from the beginning, how do you respond to those persons who think that all these centuries later, we should not even be wasting time ? it is a subject that we should have long ago stopped talking about.>> well, i think the idea that we are living in a post-racial socie

frustrating thing is that it is usually tiled to, ed, if we didn't have amtrak we could be like western europe. no. if we spent $100 billion on new rail infrastructure, then we could be like europe. one of the key kind of simple minded lessons of the railroad is that when you look for high speed operations, which the europeans and the asians and some others have split in two, what it is all about is two things. one is if geometry of the railroad because the japanese hchl-and it is the 50th anniversary of amtrak in four years. they figured out that with the motor technology you could pump enough horsepower into a train so that hills didn't matter. you could go just as fast up a hill as downhill and that water a change. everyone that runs high-speed trains has bit brand-new alignment that are for the most part dead straight and they keep -- there are no commuters on them. there's no freight trains, there's nothing else. if if u.s. had made a decision to go in that direction rather than invest what it has in the interstate highway system we would have a lot of high-speed trains. it is that decisi

, some would say it is a very -- it is quickly shifting over to really opposed to the rest of western europeple, when it comes to climate change and take some more trumpian view of the world. is that true, and could that explain the unusually receptive audience the president will be having? >> reporter: no, it is absolutely true, neil. and again, president trump and president duda share a lot of common ground and this idea of conservatism against politically correct liberalism, the new europe against the old europe. when it comes to new europe and for the middle east for that matter, president trump is on very, very friendly ground. but when goes to germany, on friday, when he goes to france, which he'll go next thursday, the atmosphere is quite different. there is a lot more sketciptici by this president. i was told before the trip that they're over the moon the fact that he is president. they like him. they like the idea that he sees iran as an extensional threat and that's in the arab world as well as in israel. he is on very friendly territory in terms of the majority of his foreign trip

as the russian hacking of our election, i think it considerably weakens the united states and western europeth our nato allies, and i think it weakens the president back home in washington. jeff: as always, thank you so much. nicholas: thank you. ♪ stephanie: good evening. i'm stephanie's a character -- stephanie zacharek filling in for charlie rose. i'm here with sofia coppola. her new film, "the beguiled," is based on a 1966 novel, previously made into a film in 1971. as anfarrell stars injured union soldier who is taken into heel at an all-girls boarding school in the south, at an -- in to heal all-girls boarding school in the south, run by nicole kidman. here's a look at the trailer. ♪ >> we ask your protection over our school. we pray that will be -- we will be kept from harm throughout the night. >> amen. ♪ >> sh. marta! >> is he dead? >> no. get him inside. quick. visitor,most unwelcome and we have not proposed to entertain you. >> do you find them easily amused? >> you won't be here long enough for that. >> how did you end up in this place? >> why are you so interested in me? >> i ad

the 1924 immigration act which was to strict immigration from most places except northern and western europe but the businessmen in the southwest had forced a backdoor for mexican immigrants in the back door to the main open and so mexican immigrants were entering the states without limitation throughout the 1920s. you have this tussle between employers and the southwest wanted large number of mexican immigrants into the united states but not as citizens but to work and go home and you had the racial nationalists in congress, the nativists in congress who said we don't want anyone who is not white entering this country. there was a real tussle that was happening between these two poles of american politics. what happened during the 1920s is fascinating because throughout this debate that was happening in congress about mexican immigration and be allowed to enter the country every year and under what terms, in 1929 it was a senator from the american south from south line in particular said let's stop worrying about how many mexicans are entering the country every year and let's start talking

so this is his shot to have a point of contact in western europe where he can go, right? he can't even go to london after starting a tweet storm with london mayor during a terrorist attack for no reason. so this is a good opportunity for the president to sort of reset his european image, his european relationship. for macron, likewise, if he can elevate himself as a new president with very little experience but a lot of ambition as the point of contact in western europe for the american president, if he can show the rest of europe that he can be the trump whisperer, that he can be the guy to talk to trump, negotiate with trump and sort of help trump mollify and sort of, you know, take the rough edges off of his image in europe, that elevates macron internally, around europe and would represent a huge victory for france diplomatically. so in essence in one way in the ideological way they're totally opposed, but in a pragmatic realistic way they have some interests that overlap. >> you wonder if macron is getting a little impatient right now waiting for president trump to a

"the beguiled" premiered last month at the cannes film festival, wher

and what's particularly striking though obviously is what the message is to western europe. is is taking place here what's called the three cs initiative summit with a lot of about 12 central and eastern european nations which are viewed by western european countries, a lot of those strong eu countries like germany, to send an anti-immigrant, anti-eu message. there's a real concern about that. obviously president trump was strongly in favor of the uk and brexit. they fear some of the western european countries that this is an effort in a way to reshift -- or shift the balance of power in the region as well. >> peter, let me read you something from "the new york times" and talk about it on the other side. "new york times" this morning reporting there's a quote, there's a fair amount of nervouses on in the white house and that the -- and at the state department about this meeting with putin and how they manage it because they see potential risks. stephen piper, who's worked for the national security council. there's a gray cloud for the president of the investigations about col

feel isolated and then he becomes friends with conservatives in hungary and poland and shutout western europehe wants to avoid that. macron wants to be the go to person for donald trump in the eu. james was hinting at the personal relationship -- that is important if you want to work effectively with another political leader on areas you agree on and things you don't agree on. we heard climate change issues, trump saying something might happen with paris, who knows what that means or who -- or how long it will last but it seemed like a softening temporarily. also i think emmanuel macron was trying to change the image that donald trump supporters have of trump -- of trump. -- a paris, of france. we remember that famous tweet. paris is not paris any longer. look what he says now. emmanuelning with macron and mrs. macron. relationship stronger than ever. that is aimed at his supporters. for the establishment, it is to keep his base fired up. france, emmanuel macron, we are witnessing a different type of presidency and no more did you see that than in today's ceremony. >> absolutely. it is clear

talk about -- syria, russian aggression in ukraine, and other intrusions into the security of western europehost: the new york times today in its editorial page questions whether trump is taking the election hacking seriously enough. "there are important questions about the rest of the exchange about whether no mr. trump understands the gravity of russia's interference in america's democratic processes. rex tillerson said mr. putin denied involvement in the election, as he has in the past, and asked americans for proof. a familiar diversionary tactic by russians caught red-handed. there is no indication mr. trump demanded responsibility or promise to will not happen again." do you think the president took it seriously enough? guest: it is hard to know what is in the president's mind. going back to secretary tillerson's point, if you have a putin denying what everyone knows to be true, when you beat a dead horse or get something done or progress is possible. host: we are talking with herman americanof the foreign-policy counsel about president trump's first g-20 summit. death from brunswick,

it took him over a year to reach western europe.is brother was granted refugee status, but he was denied entry for lack of a visa. so he turned to a smuggler. the route took him from syria through turkey to greece and then to athens airport. >> the smuggler looked at me and picked out some photos on his laptop that resembled me. he had lots of refugee passports as well as regular passports of all nationalities. this man looked quite normal -- not like a criminal, but more like a salesman. he wasn't the violent type or a slave trader. it was just his business to smuggle people. reporter: the syrian passed 3500 euros to a middle man, and two days later, he was on a plane out of athens. he says there were two more refugees on that flight -- one headed to belgium, the other to germany -- put there by the same smuggler. in answer to our enquiry, the german government conceded that prevented from boarding in greek airports. this is an increase of more than 6% over the previous year's figure. in addition, about 6000 unauthorized entries we
