and then said he was going to stop nuclear weapons and backslid, didn't keep the commitments. >> right, and he talks about that he said that there are reasons he didn't because he was let down by the united states. but that's irrelevant. what he's doing -- and he very much said that. he said, you know, over the years -- first of all, they've never gone this far, you know, never been at a level like this and his father never dealt with a president and a lot of other things but he said -- it's very much in his mind. he said, we are going to get this done. in the past we've tried but it never worked out and it never did work out and it was embarrassing actually to the united states. and to our leadership. this is different. i believe you'll find in the years to come, george, i think you'll find this different. >> how are you going to know he's keeping his word? he's committed to this? >> we're going to be following things. we're going to be monitoring things. we're dealing with him very -- on a constant basis. secretary of state mike pompeo did a very, very good job, great energy, and the

. >> stephen: we're backsliding a little bit.re the concern becomes more relevant again because there are authoritarian regimes that are gain. onli do -- >> stephen: do millennials know what that means. when you say "liberal democracy" some people only hear the word "liberal" and they don't mean the base of that idea is a free democracy. >> right, and the terms are important. and when you drill down, i think you're right. you characterize tthey don't think it's critical to live in a free society or know necessarily the tenets of free society. what i think we need to do, both on the show and generally, i think this is probably the largest contest of my life is, make the case for the ideas behind the bill of rights, for free speech, you know, for freedom for individual freedom. i mean, this is where i fall on the side. and i think that's the major contest of our moment. >> stephen: do you think that the modern conservative movement that buckley birthed from his head like athena-- >> there are many other figures in the conservative

you have a lot of countries around the world that are democracies that are starting to backslide, or in significant ways, and i'm not going to call russia a democracy, but the president has announced that he is on his way to staying president for life. we see the same thing in china with the changes xi has made to the communist party structures. we see places where the democratic principles are being worn away, and i think it is really important for countries to stand against that, to actually demonstrate by reassuring their citizens that no, we do think about success for everyone and not just success for the business owner as being the only sustainable model. yes, there will always be people who are much more successful than others. even when i spoke about the fact i have raised taxes on the wealthiest 1% and lowering them on the middle class, when the middle class and people working hard to join them, have more money in their pockets, when people who actually spend their money are more confident about having that money to spend, more confident about their future and their kids' fut

you have a lot of countries around the world that are democracies that are starting to backslide, orally in significant ways, and i'm not going to call russia a democracy, but the president has announced that he is on his way to staying president for life. we see the same thing in china with the changes xi has made to the communist party structures. we see places where the democratic principles are being worn away, and i think it is really important for countries to stand against that, to actually demonstrate by reassuring their citizens that no, we do think about success for everyone and not just success for the business owner as being the only sustainable model. yes, there will always be people who are much more successful than others. even as i spoke with the business audience about the fact that i have raised taxes on the wealthiest 1% and lowering them on the middle class, when the middle class and people working hard to join them have more money in their pockets, when people who actually spend their money are more confident about having hat money to spend, more confidntbtheir f

unfortunately there has been backlash in backsliding. didn't take away from the courage that these people show. when i talk about peace i talk about different components. there's this i worked in the state department for a few times everything from peace in the with china. peace really has five different dimensions. one is the relations between major powers, the rivalries that major powers have which throughout history have been the major wars, and also the crucial element for global peace. secondly, the effort to build international relations. third is the politics of identity, getting out of who i am and who you are and why the differences between us of the reasons why i kill you before you kill me. they suffered many of those conflicts. fourth is to advance freedom and human rights and then global sustainability. then we realize today that much rests upon the ability to do that. we speak a lot, the acronym is wnd. then i also tried to warn against emd, and then diseases of mass distraction. i'll go back to who fills in the category an

really sure whether it is a backstop or a black -- backslide. [laughter] , i asked the prime minister -- i am sorry to bring this up, it is probably quite painful for her, but when is the brexit white paper going to be published? she did say it would be published before the june eu council summit. is that still the case? that.idn't actually say i said the white paper would be published and we will be publishing it. [inaudible] we will be bringing ministers together and it will be published thereafter. [laughter] it gets evermore confusing because the cabin office secretary told the bbc that it would not be until july. and i offer a solution? instead of worrying about this white paper on which the cabinet would have to agree, how about making it a green paper in which all disagreements are in the open and we can make a comment on it? not havevernment does it's detailed proposals ready for the june summit, surely the prime minister cannot be going to brussels without anything to negotiate on. is she going to seek or delay to that summit while the

hired people who don't support his agenda and are not loyal to him or that agenda and therefore the backsliding and leaking is very disappointing working in the white house is the highest political honor you can have in our business. donald trump was elected and you serve at his pleasure as his appointment you own him your discretion and your loyalty. >>host: stones rules is the name of the book author and republican strategist roger stone joining us from fort lauderdale thank you for being with us we hope you will come backth again. >> thank you for the opportunity be back i just cringe every time the secret service gets bad publicity sometimes they deserve it but 99% of the time they get up every day to go about their business and i watch them. i'm not as a high-value target as i used to be. [laughter] but i watch these men and women day in and day out as i followed my routine try to stay busy, i work and force themselves to concentrate and imagine what they have to be on the lookout for. so when i was president i remember when bin laden put out the fatwa and it was awful and i said we went i

and when i got it, i'd want to make sure there's no backsliding to the bad old days. >> patrick: whenome out of a vacuum. it came out from a couple of decades of awakening and struggle. >> anthony: 50 years from now, will people be still speaking -- >> patrick: french. >> anthony: -- predominantly french in montreal? >> patrick: yes. >> anthony: no doubt about it? >> patrick: no doubt about it. >> anthony: "french first" is something most would agree with. how far and how rigorously you want to go with that, well -- do you think there was ever any possibility or real majority or a plurality of québécois who would have voted in separate nation status? >> patrick: you know, in english you guys say timing is everything. >> anthony: right. >> patrick: and timing was never better than in the period of 1990, 1991, '92. because in '95, this country came inches from being broken up. >> anthony: close. >> patrick: yeah. >> anthony: do you think it'll ever happen in the history of the world? >> patrick: i don't know. but i know one thing. anybody who says separatism is dead in this country, in

the backsliding on focusing limiting payments to those most in need that occurred in the house farm bill shows the real purpose of maintaining most title i commodities in an age of crop insurance. so certain folks who want to can, in fact, farm the programs. special interest the clinton represent farmers and ranchers account successfully is whether more cash is directed to their paular cmodity year after year. attorneys and accountants to make a living creating exploiting loopholes to subvert the will of congress and maximize payments. which brings us to today. again, there is a diversity of opinion on how proactive the federal government needs to be in relieving farming and ranching businesses of the business risk. but i've never seen any disagreement that what programs do exist need to be focused on the men and women actually facing the day-to-day risks of four. folks who choose to make a lighted as an integral, active, an essential part of an agricultural business. at the very least we should be able to agree that the farm safety net should be focused on folks whose livelihood is face

the other thing he says he has is an end to the backsliding on the publication of a white paper on brexitore the end ofjuly and it will have the government's preferred option of how to deal with the relationship, not the backstop. why are the brexit ministers worried? they feel their vision of brexit is slipping away and the reason for that if they think theresa may wants two things in march, out of the eu but also a transition. if you want a transition, you have to have a withdrawal treaty. if you want to withdraw treaty, you have to have the backstop. and the danger of the backstop for brexiteers is that hands the eu and absolutely decisive role in the end state. just briefly because there was other news tonight that borisjohnson, a leaked tape of him talking to a group last night. a pretty extraordinary intervention, linked to lucy at the times, buzzfeed and guido fawkes. it says donald trump would do a much betterjob in negotiating brexit but importantly saying theresa may will start to go hardball. this is a flavour of what he said. it is a bit muffled, but we are grateful to you, lu

the backsliding on focusing and limiting payments to those most in need that occurred in the house farm bill shows the real purpose of maintaining most title i commodities in an age of crop insurance is so certain folks who want to can farm the programs. special interests that claim to represent farmers and ranchers but count success only as whether more cash is directed to their particular commodity year after year. attorneys and accountants who make their living exploiting loopholes to exploit the will of congress and maximize payments. this brings us to today. there is a diversity of opinion on how proactive the federal government needs to be in relieving farming and governments of their risks. i've never seen a disagreement that one -- that what programs do exist need to be focused on the men and women who make their livelihood as an integral part of an agricultural business. at the very least, we should all agree that the farm safety net should be focused on folks whose livelihood puts them face-to-face with the risks of farming, not a series of active managers who never set foot o

the man entered a home on -- -- through the backsliding door and a young woman woke up and found the man standing in her door way without clothes on. she screamed and he left. >>> much more for you right here at 11:00, including a huge scare for a plane full of passengers. >> it was really frightening. i was sitting at the window and i counted 20 emergency vehicles, red lights, blue lights. it was really scary. >> the flight detays when s.w.a.t. teams show up. the problem that caused the high drama. >>> and check out our social media pages. we'll help you out if you are dealing with high utility bills. >> did you get an usually high utility bill? don't panic. first, check to see if there are any new appliances or products that might be using more electricity or water than usual in your home. ask your neighbors if their bills have been high. contact your utility company to report the high bill. they'll sometimes send an inspector to make sure there are no errors or technical glitches with the meter. if your water bill is high, consider hiring a plumber to check for leaks or a running

well, wages aren't keeping up with the cost of living as workers backslide on hourly wages while health care and prescription drug care costs rise and retirement benefits are being cut. this week harley-davidson just announced it will outsource of the of jobs because trump trade war. meanwhile, the nafta trade deficit remains far too high under the trump administration. that means more lost u.s. jobs and a diminished middle class. now, why has president trump delayed nafta renegotiations so critical to creating a level playing field, both in our country and across our continent? instead of renegotiating nafta to heal these gaping deficits and to prevent pitting one group of workers against another on this continent, he's targeting the lowest wage workers in the americas and tearing them apart from their children, their families, and their communities. most are agricultural workers. grueling jobs for which u.s. citizens rarely apply. let me bring you to ohio. just in the past grueling jobs which u.s. three weeks, ohio communities have faced six massive worker raids at two corso lawn and

the backsliding of focusing and limiting payments to those most in need that occurred in the house farmville shows the real purpose of maintaining most title i commodities in a age of crop insurance. certain folks who want to can in fact farm the program. interest that claim to represent farmers and ranchers count success only whether cash is directed to their particular commodity year after year again, there is a diversity of opinion on how proactive the federal government needs to be and relieving farming and businesses of their business risk. i've never seen any disagreement of what programs do exist need to be focused on the men and women actually facing the risk of forming. folks who choose to make their livelihood active and a central part of an agriculture business. at the very least we should all be able to agree that the farm safety net shouldbe focused off of the livelihood. not a series of active managers who never stepped foot on the farm but our farming by facetime. the family farmers that are truly actively engaged in running the businesses >> we will get questions from the aud

. >> do you see any backsliding on china's part? >> a modest amount, yes. >> do you believe that nato is obsolete? >> i do not. >> when you meet counterparts mother countries, how do you explain that the president has said so question mark -- counterparts from other countries, how do you explain that the president has said so? >> the president is unambiguous about his view. when he spoke in warsaw, he made it clear for how he believes we would achieve atlantic unity, but having said that, it is time for them to care about pushing back against russia as much as we do and we have increased willingness and progress has been made. to date, they have not even lived up to their own promises. >> it is my disdain of the european union will have a meeting to continue the russian sanctions and that the new italian government has made it part of their platform that they oppose russian sanctions and one nation can veto the regime. it seems that the european union will lift sanctions on russia in a short amount of time. is that your understandin

you seem democratic backsliding that has been led by the russians. use in the united states outsource diplomacy and syria, g, major new investments in places like the balkans and levels we did not see during the obama administration. in the partnership between the russian government and the trump administration with respect to pushing trumps agenda. the shutdo was trending because of russia government propaganda who is pushing the storyline in the u.s. media. they haven't given up on their attempts to try to influence the american political dialogue. i don't think it's evidence there bad behaviors lessening. i think it's getting worse and worse. let me turn to the iran nuclear agreement. i would love to talk to you about what our strategy is. the announcement that we were going to pull out of the agreement was not unexpected. the message has been sent that we are going to reimpose u.s. sanctions but also secondary sanctions. chance; others are attempting to try to keep the iranians to their end of the agreement. the bear my ball keeping iran's access

changes that we do for others to build upon and forth with some cases there's been backlash and backsliding but nevertheless, it didn't take away from the courage and the vision that these folks showed. when i talk about peace i really talk about it in terms of five components and instead my introduction i spent quite a bit of time in washington policy process and worked in the state department a couple of times on everything from peace in the middle east to u.s. relations with russia and china and prevention of ethnic conflict and genocide. when you think about tickling the times we live in, peacefully as five different dimensions. one is the relations between major powers, the rivalries of the major powers have which throughout history have been the major cause of major wars and also a crucial element for global peace. sacco is effort to build international institutions, and here i particularly focus on the united nations. third is what i call reconciling the politics of identity, getting at what yemen who you are and why the differences between us our reason for me to kill you before you

come back to the house of commons and now we'll go back to the house of lords and if there is any backslidingof making them think again and reinsert this idea of a motion once we get to the no deal scenario. there are bits of the government is not so happy about, they do not like the idea of parliament taking control of negotiations come next march if this has not all been sorted out. that would be a step too far for them so they're willing to do that. but it sounds like they're willing to bring forward a motion to the house of commons, pretty swiftly, if there is no deal scenario. of course that would can be changed by mps and can be voted upon, that is the crucial point. so those conservative rebels think that they have got a pretty significant concession from the government. yet again another can being kicked down the road a lot of people would suggest. you wonder why the government is willing to put down an amendment in the lords but not today. i think probably there will not thinking that they would have two, is a government you do not give way and concede unless you know you have two so

you have seen significant democratic backsliding in turkey and other countries. you have seen outsourced diplomacy in syria to russians and the turks. big investments in places like the balkans that we did not see during the obama administration. and the continued partnership between the russian government and the trump adminstration with respect to pushing trump's agenda, because of russian government propaganda is, they were pushing a storyline in the u.s. media. they have not given up on their attempts to influence the american political dialogue. i don't think that there's any evidence that they are bad behavior is lessening. i think, frankly, it's getting worse and worse. let me turn to the iran nuclear agreement. i would love you to talk to us for a few minutes about what our strategy is. the announcement that we were going to pull out of the agreement was not unexpected. the message has been sent, from what i understand, that we are going to reimpose u.s. sanctions , but also secondary sanctions. as you know, chancellor merkel and others in the european un

. >> very briefly, do you see any backsliding on china's part when it comes to sanctions on north korea? >> a modest amount. >> thanked mr. secretary. do you believe nato is obsolete? >> no sir i do not. >> when you go to the nato summit in brussels in a few weeks and you meet counterparts from other countries, how do you explain that our president has that repeatedly that nato is obsolete? >> i don't have to wait till i get to brussels i found that the conversations about nato. present has been completely unambiguous about his view. when he spoke in warsaw, he made very clear his expectations for how we would achieve a strong united, atlantic unity. having said that, we have been very clear to them as well, it is time for them to care about pushing back against russia as we do. so we have push them, increase their willingness to support nato voice -- forces as well. progress has been made. but today they have not even lived up to their own promises. >> is my understanding that in the next few months, european union will have a meeting and vote again on whether to continue russian sanct

you have seen a significant democratic backsliding in hungary and turkey that has been led by the russians. you have seen the united states effectively outsourced diplomacy to the russians and the turks. we have seen continued partnership between the russian government and the trump administration with respect to pushing trump's agenda. because of russian government propaganda's, they were pushing the storyline in the u.s. media. i don't think that there is evidence of bad behavior lessening. i think it is getting worse and worse. >> let me turn to the iran nuclear agreement. i want to have you talk about the strategy. the announcement that we are going to pull out of the agreement was not unexpected. the message has been sent from what i understand that we are going to reimpose u.s. sanctions but also secondary sanctions. as you know, the european union is attempting to try to keep the iranians to their end of the agreement which in their mind involves keeping iran's access to banking systems such as the swift system. i guess my question is a bigger one but it has two parts. what are our

[laughter] there has been backsliding and the federal government is about percent of gdp state and localwards a reasonable level of taxation. the divisions then are the same as those now. there were two teams during the american revolution. there were the sons of liberty, the patriots the wanted independence and lower taxes and the other team was known as the friends of government. somehow that has not changed. always their answer to the question is what is best for the government? if we cut taxes the government loses money. the market people gain resources and time and freedom but the government loses money. they are always concerned about the government rather than the people. the tax cut that the republicans passed in december is a significant step in the right direction. the left will yell it only benefits 1%. i have a couple of numbers. 90% of taxpayers are paying lower taxes today than they were days before that tax bill passed. 90%. [applause] and a tax cut is a pay increase. when the government takes less of your pay you have more take-home pay and that is a pay increase. the lef

i think that america is backsliding. i think that they lost their moral compass. michael goodenough go and fight in foreign lands to come back to uncle did notmy go and fight in foreign lands to come back to this place and see children from foreign lands being caged. i think it is disgusting. i am flying my flag at half staff. to -- wehat we need are spending all this money on weapons of war, but we are not taking care of our veterans. the number one rate of suicide right now. our farmers, we are not taking care of those who feed us. host: my condolences for your loss. alex is in consulting you on the line for republicans. caller: yes, i'm one of those angry white r.g. mugger republicans wanted your colors referred to us as. of course, that's what archie bunker republicans -- archie ne ofr republicans o your callers referred to us as. of course, i saw maxine waters calling on republicans to be surrounded. the hypocrisy of the left. i say president trump is doing a great job. he will pick a great supreme court justice. we are moving ahead, and we are prosperous now

i'm not really sure if it is a backstop or a backslide she is talking about.shed before thejune eu council summit. is that still the case?|j didn't actually say that. i said the white paper would be published and we would be publishing it and bringing ministers together... just calm down. we will be bring the ministers together after the june council and the white paper will be published thereafter. mr speaker, it gets ever more confusing, because at the weekend the cabinet office secretary told the bbc that it would not now be untiljuly. can i offer a solution? instead of worrying about this white paper on which the cabinet would have to agree, how about making it a green paper in which all the green —— disagreements are in the open and we can all make are in the open and we can all make a comment on it? but if the government does not, as looks likely, have its detail proposals ready for the june summit, surely the prime minister can't be going to brussels without anything to negotiate on? so is she going to seek a delay to that summit while the government de

there's been a little backsliding.ng way to go to get back towards a reasonable level of taxation. but the divisions then are the same as those now. there were two teams during the american revolution. there were the sons of liberty, the patriots that wanted independence and lower taxes, and the other team was known as the friends of government. and somehow that hasn't changed. always there and scrub the question is what's best for the government? if we cut taxes, this government lose it its money? the american people gain resources and time of freedom but the government loses money. they are always very concerned about the government rather than the people. the tax cuts republicans passed in december is a significant step in the right direction. the left will yell it only benefits 1%. so i've got a couple numbers. 90% of taxpayers are paying lower taxes today than they were days before that tax bill passed. 90%. and a tax cut is a pay increase. when the government takes less of your pay, you have more take-home pay. t

thin books sadly but those make major changes for others to build upon in some cases backlash or backsliding but did not take away from the courage in the vision these full showed. when i talk about peace it is five components so i have spent quite a bit of time in washington poly process and the state department from peace in the middle east to u.s. relations with prevention of genocide and they have five different dimensions. and also a crucial element for that third what i call the politics of identity and the differences between us or why i kill you before you killed me which are many areas of the world have suffered those conflicts the effort to advanced freedom and human rights and sustainability which much less of the ability to do that but we speak a lot of weapons of mass distraction but i also try to warn against environmental mass distraction and diseases of mass distraction with pandemics. i will get back to falls in each category but that is the piece makers and statesmanship yes or are presidents and prime ministers and secretaries of state and foreign ministers in the book but
