but all of this shoul be in service of diplomacy.ou always need a credible threat of force in service of diplomacy. a pressure campaign is important, but none of that matters if you end up as the only option being war because you haven't really given diplomacy a chance. i hope that the president can put together the team that's necessary. i hope he puts in the persistent effort that will be needed here. he's going to have to have patience which isn't his strong suit because this is going to take a lot of time. as i said, it's highly technical. the iran agreement was 154 pages long, the most extensive verification and monitoring system ever put in place in such a situation. and that's where we knew where the enrichment was going on the plutonium production was going on. we don't know where everything is in north korea. the iaea has not been inside of north korea for some time. so this is a very daunting undertaking. >> and there's another crucial aspect to this. and that is that in certain quarters in the united states including with

i just, i think we really shoul should, sure, people are going to give to democrats, you give to republicans, you give to this congressional candidate or that, i understand all that. when we start measuring people by one issue, i think that's a problem and it fragments the congress which in turn fragments the country. >> other questions? i had my microphone. all right. >> for the past 15 years it occurred to me that one political party believes in government as a force for positive administration, doing good for the public and the country. the other appears not to believe in that, to have a different view of what government is for and is more interested in holding power. i'd be interested in whether you agree with that and if you do agree with that, how can we as a people, how can we put into effect the remedies you propose. >> i think it's not simply the political parties, i think if you looked at somebody like george w bush and what he did domestically in a variety of areas, you realize that he saw a lot of government who saw force of good. we may have very sharp division right now where y

(laughter) but, judy, anytime you go through a wholesale firing, it's an indication of weakness in a president. it's political uncertainty. the twc most reent presidents who did it, gerald ford in 1975 gorough getting rid of jim schlesinger, secretary of defense dropping nelson rockefeller from the ticket, was a sign of political weakness, and jimmy carter in 1979 got rid of five cabinet members including schlesinger again and joe calafanto. and that's what you see withum donald tr but i think at a personal level, there are two things that have to be comupmentedon. first of all is that there isou this administration just fatiguing, draining aspect. r peoplly -- americans a

trump shoul go to north korea because the north koreans will spin this into legitimacy, the u.s.dent coming to north korea to cowtow to their leader. do the dmz or a neutral country like switzerland or singapore. >> stanley, a quick thought on china. is china happy with the situation in they after all wanted a defusion of tension. this is sort of what the chinese want. >> i think they're happy but conflicted. of course anything that defuses the situation makes military action less likely, is very positive for them, if it can lead to a negotiating process, even better. at the same time, they've got to be very concerned about the possibilities of a trade war, not just the steps taken but the steps that might be taken and that could influence their willingness to be helpful and third, that's probably a bit of resentment that north korea met with the u.s. president before meeting with the chinese president. that's absolutely extraordinary. >> and the trade war part, what's extraordinary is the south koreans are under the gun with trump's tariffs even at the time we're trying to build

sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever believes you shoul should. >> chris: marie, or is that just me that it's a weird analysis from a feminist, that women married were beaten by the men around them? >> i hate to say that. i really do. the first female nominee of the major party has historical roles and the right to speak out. she is not helping the democratic party. i think she should take a very long vacation and leave the future of the party to other people. the future of the party is not with her. the clearest indication of that is in the 20 special elections that have taken so far in 2018, democrats have averaged 24 more points than she did. the party of the future is not hillary clinton's party, and i get what she wants to be disappointed in. >> chris: you say she gets -- what's going on here? do you think it's a bitterness? is she a sore loser? >> i think this is a hard-fought competition, and i think most people, including republicans, didn't think she was going to lose. i'm not going to psychoanalyze why she keeps giving excuses fo

how significant is that new headline in, something we shoule focused on right now?, i think what you're talking about, peter, there have been two kind of responses. what we heard most recently is that the white house was offering some written statements in order to try to stave off the need for an interview. it's an absolute nonstarter. so the statements, one had nothing to do with trump, they purported to be a written account of the overall, quote/unquote, white house view of certain issues. mueller will be happy enough to receive it and use it as a basis for some questions. but as a gambut to try to keep from actually answering questions under oath about the matters that mueller's investigating, it is nonnews. it does nothing to advance the ball. >> phil, you have these conversations privately. i'm at the white house for most of the day. i have some of these conversations privately, too. i want your take right now on what you hear from the people in and around the president, not just in the west wing but in his orbit about the depth of their concern about what he'

yourself >> even the ones who went to college, that experience is probably not so academic i wonder shoule to kind of force the players to do something or is it -- is there a role? we hear a lot from the guys that say this is important to me. i want to go and talk to these teams and try to help educate people so they don't end up with ba bad managers who do you think bears the responsibility >> it is easy to point a lotover different ways i know major league baseball does a good job educating their player we have a $10 billion industry in baseball. it'sbaseball it's healthy but athletes have to understand no one is going to do as you do for yourself so it's important to know the numbers, know your spending, know how much you are making, and understand that your careers are going to last probably to 30 the question that you have to ask yourself is what happens from age 31 to 80? >> i think, too, look, the numbers are staggering we talked about drew brees special situation, i get it. bullet in the nba you can make amazing money not necessarily as one of the top tier guys necessarily. is it

if we had to cope see that ultimately affects the ability to be bad and shoul that enginee economic growth in the country we should be considering that as well. >> your first appearance as the chairman, first of many. i would talk about the labor market in particular wage growth for america's workers. the business review last october discussed and found the wage gains have mostly accrued to the top earners or have been saddened at thsaggingin the bote distribution. the bottom half of the distribution is comprised of many americans who don't have a four year degree, many don't even have a high school diploma. research on the economic policy institute shows that american workers without a high school education have seen their wages declined by 17% since 1979 adjusted for inflation and workers a with a high school education with no college. the chart to my left displays this and shows what i'm talking about. you can see the wage growth for those of the college degree or advanced degree and the wage decline for those with a high school degree or less. it's to ensure that they share the economi

and let's listen to representative gowdy and whether or not president shutrump shoul interfere with himwe've interviewed there's no evidence of collusion. that's the best i can do. executive branch investigations have more credibility. they have more tools and that's what i think my fellow citizens ought to be waiting for and have confidence in. not congressional investigations that are run by guys running for the senate in california who have never met a camera that they didn't fall in love with. >> more tools, interviewed more people as well. there's been a very limited pool of people that the house intelligence committee even bothered to talk to. what do you make of trey gowdy who is retiring saying what he's say? >> that's equivalent to a shot of vodka. what i mean about that that's when they get their liquid courage and start talk big to the president. while in office, everybody checks in with him. and i think they have to let mueller work. i don't want anyone to feign surprise when this president starts to go after rod rosenstein or robert mueller. we just saw what happened with m
