i was one of eight national security whistleblowers prosecuted under brooke obama but under donald trump we've already seen the arrest and incarceration of reality winter not just has she been arrested but she's been dead by bail and she's been held in a jail a county jail in georgia since june of last year even barack obama did ask that any of us be held without bail so i think that this is really a continuation of a very dangerous and wrongheaded policy to target whistleblowers julian is one of the biggest of the international whistleblowers and i think that they really want his head on a platter and funny joe one question if you could be very brief i mean what do you see as a way out of this deadlock. you know i think that julian just has to try to be as patient as possible the ecuadorian government has to be even more patient than julian and hope that there is a change in government either in the u.k. or in the u.s. that allow him to just leave the embassy go to an airport and fly to ecuador and we'll leave it that john kerry our former cia analyst and whistleblower thank you v

>> well, okay, by way of broad context, brooke, barack obama was more aggressive in the cracking downgainst leaking from within his administration than any previous president. >> okay. >> so that is not terribly new. we are so new in the trump administration i don't know we can draw those conclusions yet. that said, this is a significant step aimed at what has been a very real frustration for the president not to mention senior staff for a long time. remember, donald trump commanding jeff sessions to get to the bottom of the leaks, to prosecute them when they are happening, saying they pose a national security threat. what i would say is that all leaks, true of trump administration, and other ones, all leaks are not created equal. leaks that endanger national security, fair point. but to cast a broad net on the leaking of let's say steve bannon being fired, you know, back a few months ago last year, i'm not sure that endangers anyone other than steve bannon's professional career development. so i think we have to be careful when we throw these and use a broad brush to paint as the whi

obama. we also know, brooke, that justice sotomayor has been very open about her diabetes condition.s something that she wrote about in her 2013 memoir that was called "my beloved world." and she did, in 2013, when she released that memoir, gave an interview to diabetes magazine where she talked about the necessity of treating this and how closely she keeps an eye on this, especially when she's actually going into court. of course, brooke, today the supreme court did not hold oral arguments but did have their weekly closed door conference. that happened this morning. and we do know that justice sotomayor was inside that conference after she was treated by the paramedics early in the morning. all okay with the justice and she is back at work. and working hard on this friday. brooke? >> glad she's okay. since we are talking about the supreme court, what's the news on the president's travel ban? >> right. that was one of the things that justice sotomayor and the other eight justices were working on. in their weekly closed door conference they issue orders about the cases they'll be taki

to my far right we have nonresident senior fellow at the brookings institution, former white house appointee and senior diplomat in the obama administration and most recently the u.s. deputy special envoy for israeli-palestinian negotiations. so we would like to start the panel off with a few opening remarks from all of ouri panelists. we want this to be as engaged in conversation as possible, so we will have time for a question-and-answer later. >> thank you. in the name of god was gracious most merciful. i just want to jump into two points we should all be looking at in terms of looking at the trump administration's national security agenda. the first point is the departure from a long-standing u.s. policy. and that long-stand g u.s. policy was articulated actually on page nine of the 2015 national security strategy under the obama administration and its states and i quote, "we reject the lie that america is at war with islam." and the question to the trump administration is does it continue with that policy because the vatican the policy are saying exactly the opposite. that the united states is not just at war with viol

obama's 2012 re-election. brad, welcome. nice to meet you. >> brooke, good to be with you. >> okay. wanted to talk to you because you put it out there on the twitters that you wanted oprah to give you a call. so let's play out a hypothetical, brad. let's say oprah winfrey takes you up on that, calls you up, says, mr. anderson, what's your advice for me, what's your answer? >> my answer would be to think long and hard before making the leap because it would require a pretty dramatic lifestyle change on her part. but secondly, i would say, you know, the thing she's going to have to work hardest at is shedding that bubble. oprah's always had an amazing ability to connect with everyday people, but she would really have to shed that bubble and i would recommend coming, flying to iowa, flying to des moines but then taking a car and driving around the state and hitting some of the rural parts of the state, ft. dodge, marshalltown, other areas and, you know, the thing about winning in iowa, and i only know iowa, but the thing about winning in iowa is it's not a guarantee, even if your name

brookings institution thank you very much indeed. thank you kind sir now in his first year in power president donald trump has stripped away many obama era environmental policies his announcement last june that the u.s. would pull out of the paris agreement in twenty twenty minutes with world wide disapproval and left the u.s. isolated and as nick clark reports from paris it was followed by a series of climate related disasters in the united states from devastating hurricanes to wildfires. december two thousand and fifty the paris agreement is forged a historic moment twenty years in the making. that final accord agreed here in paris was a momentous achievement and a unanimous a hold of the. then things changed the united states will cease all implementation of the non-binding paris accord we don't all trumps efforts to strip away the environmental policies that his predecessor did not end there he's pushed to bring back mining jobs with as he put it beautiful clean coal he's opened the way for offshore oil exploration that is being dismantled to us. but then climate disasters have careered across the united states residents of calif

brooke baldwin stunned. >> if you go back and you don't elect anyone who's ever done anything wrong, yeah, we would have had barack obamahe did cocaine. bill clinton supposedly smoked marijuana. >> okay, what? [ laughter ] >> and if, you know, roy moore had stole a lawnmower when he was 21, that's bad, but that's not a reason 50 years later to all of a sudden, you know, throw him off the ballot or let mitch mcconnell pick the next senator of alabama. >> sexual abuse, stealing a lawnmower, let's not even go there. [ laughter ] >> seth: although maybe you should steal a lawnmower to cut those bangs. [ laughter and applause ] and by the way, if you think that was a sweaty performance, you should have seen his hair before the interview. [ laughter ] now today senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said he believes the women and that moore should step aside. but now the question, what specific actions will the gop take to stop moore? gop leaders met to discuss their tax plan and when reporters shouted questions about moore, they just sat there and didn't react at all. >> leader mcconnell, do you believe the women who have ma

brooke. >> yeah. elise, thank you. jonathan cats, thank you. nice to have you on here as well. >> moving the conversation, let's talk about london. president trump calming off his planned visit there next month blaming the obamadministration over a bad embassy deal. is that even true? we'll talk to the former u.s. ambassador to britain who was involved in that very embassy deal, next. ♪ we know life can be hectic. that's why, at xfinity, we've been working hard to simplify your experiences with us. now, with instant text and email updates, you'll always be up to date. you can easily add premium channels, so you don't miss your favorite show. and with just a single word, find all the answers you're looking for - because getting what you need should be simple, fast, and easy. download the xfinity my account app or go online today. >>> there are a lot of ways to cancel a complicated presidential trip to visit a u.s. ally. so the fact that the president canceled his trip to open this brand new u.s. embassy in london. he did that in a tweet. let me read. the reason i canceled is i'm not a big fan of obama administration located finest in embassy in london for peanuts only to build a new one for $1.2 billion. bad d

obama era. 50 states where president trump's administration and his policies. we'll see now the removal, for example, of temporary protection status for haitian, even more latin americans in 2018. brooke? >> instead of know in caracas, thank you. let's bring in our international correspondent. when you look at number this is is not a good look for america. these are big losses among key u.s. allies. what does that mean as we go forward? >> reporter: it's hard to imagine a scenario in which the u.s. finds itself below china and only just above russia. below the ratings of george w. bush, who was one of the most unpopular presidents internationally. but i think what it tells us, broadly speaking, brooke, is that america first comes at a price. and when you pull out of the transpacific partnership, when you pull out of the paris climate agreement, when you call into question the future of nafta, you call into question the future of nato, that scares a lot of countries. and there are many different people and global leaders across the world who are thinking to themselves, hold on a second. can we count on the u.s.? it doesn't necessarily mean that they have some personal issue with presid

brooke, my parents immigrated to this country in 197 os. came with $300 in our pocket. always instilled america you can make it. if you study hard you can be anything in this country. barack obamaroved you can be president of the united states if you work hard. this is sentiment that my parents believed in. you have no idea how invested immigrants are in the american dream. you would have to be invested in that to leave your country, leave all that you know and love to come and try and make ha better life for yourself and future family here. that's what my parents did in the '70s. and, brooke, it worked out. between my siblings and my husband, we have degrees from wharton business school, mit, american virginia, yale and the university of virginia. that's not bad at all. >> that's impressive. >> that's the norm for people in my set. because there is an understanding that you are expected to achieve. you are given opportunity in america and you are expected to make it. and, again, i have numbers to back it up. nigerians make up less than 1% of the black population in the u.s. and yet in 2013 alone, 25% of the black students at harvard business school were nigerian decent. here's

brooks is 100 percent right. we don't want to pretend like this is only a phenomenon of the anti-trump left. this was by the way fair to point out about the staple point in barack obama's birtherrism cropped up and got real hot. because part of it is this isn't happening. this just isn't happening. this can't be real. this guy isn't really president. we started out with trump not my president. #not my president. this isn't happening. unprecedented by the russians. comey is going to make him unpresident. then maybe mueller is going to make minimum unpresident. as they go through. now very much they bought into this wolff book which is i don't want to call it trash, but it's a gossip book. it's a kitty kelley book. it's a hushed whispers in hallway at the white house loosely sourced. this is supposed to be popcorn not steak. and they are clinging to this and they are clinging to these notions because they just don't want what's happening to be real. that's bad for them but also bad for the country because it keeps them out of the kinds of discussions that you saw yesterday where you get them around the people and people can actually talk. >> katie: marie, what about that

obama guy. >> yeah. and to kimberly's point, those were a lot of white women in mountain brook coming up and saying that same thing, i can't stand for roy moore. i want to turn to something that would have been a screaming headline any other day. president trump's visit to london is off. he announced the news on twitter. although it's common during his presidency, he blames president obama. trump wrote, the reason i cancelled my trip to london is that i am lot a big fan of the obama administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in london for peanuts only to build a new one in an off location for $1.2 billion. bad deal. wanted me to cut ribbon. no. end quote. well, the decision and first steps to relocate the embassy came in october of 2008 when george w. bush was president. it came primarily because of security concerns. the uk's daily mail reports president trump was disappointed in lack of pop and royal involvement. massive protests were expected to greet trump who is deeply unpopular in london. this was on the cover of "daily mirror". this morning london's mayor who trump att

obama in 2008. african americans energized to go out and vote. suburban women and suburban republicans who voted in mountain brook where we were that day. voted for a democrat. the question is was that because roy moore was so distasteful, or was it about donald trump, or was it a combination of two. if luther strange was on the ballot, would they have voted for him? >> i think other question is what are democrats going to do to have their own proactive message in office. i think president trump and they're going to be more roy moores in 2018. there are going to be crazy people who are running on the republican side who do likely win primaries, and that is going to fuel some democratic turnout and some democratic enthusiasm and emergency. but democrats will need to center on their own message that succeeds in getting people motivated and energized so they're not just voting against something but for something as well. >> we're also going to see something that's challenging for democrats and republicans. that is the -- i have a strong feeling of members of the house and senate that are probably going to have to resign or not seek reelect
