that is why we have to negotiate a neutral zone and eastern europe. host: let's go to richard in florida on the republican line. good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. mr. o'hanlon, i have followed your thoughts on foreign policy for some time, and oddly enough, i find myself mostly in agreement with you. i have got a two-part question on different areas of the world. unless i missed something because i tuned in late, i believe i heard you say that not much got accomplished between president trump and putin at the summit. you don't believe the cease-fire that begins today amounts to anything? are you anticipating that to fail? the second question -- host: we will get the first question answered and come back to you. guest: that is an excellent point. i did not expect to see a cease-fire come out of this. as you know, it is very localized. i did not expect this kind of detail to be possible in the meeting that was supposed to be 45 minutes and got to two hours. i am impressed they got to that level of substance and had that much preparatio

countries in eastern europe have been trying to diversify supply outside of russia.it's an opportunity for the u.s. to increase exports the other day qatar announced they want to increase their lng exports by 30% we have a parallel market between lng and crude oil. both of them are oversupplied. it gives this picture of lower for longer if everyone wants to bring supply forward for now >> lower for longer, but how low? there's a general sense that the crude oil price is capped because of the persistent supply issues then we get kind of oversold in the bottom end of the price range. everyone gets bearish and we bounce a bit is this what we're in for? >> i think the range-bound market is what persists. i think we'll end the year sub $50. there's no geopolitical risk premium priced into the market if anything it's a deficit the increased tension in the middle east which would otherwise boost prices high ser pressing prices lower because of increased competition in these countries. that's true of crude oil and natural gas. >> all the supply concerns weighing on the price

nato is pushed into eastern europe and volumes more than tanks planes and bombs now the alliance is now pushing a controversial brand of history. on july eleventh nagel's twitter page published a trailer in support of a new film about latvia so called forest brothers the film glorifies the baltic nations guerrilla fighters for resisting the soviet army despite overwhelming odds but the film puts nato in a historical pickle the forest brothers were conscripted and armed by the nazis during their invasion of the soviet union nato and alliance formed in the wake of the defeat of nazi germany is now glorifying those who fought side by side it was barry. or is a spokesperson for russia's ministry of foreign affairs responded on facebook and how many of these soviets were latvians citing the participation of latvian citizens in the fight against the nazis this is not unusual for nato the alliance has kept bad faith with russia and the soviet union's legacy of sacrifice in eastern europe following its collapse since two thousand and fourteen nato has conducted joint military operations in ukra

what he meant to say is i will not accept any soviet domination of eastern europ >> governor rterhaveesponse? >> charitably that was a momentary blip. uncharitably it was a loss of touch with reality. >> clearly a huge moment where the country makes the judgment, you know, that maybe we do need to go in a different dirtion and replace the president.

it was manifestly the work of hibbler, the nazi party, and their allies in eastern europe. i deal with this one in my book as well. forgive me. eisenhowershall and invasionross channel was militarily possible? it was primarily general marshall whose plan it was. eisenhower was director of plans, he did what marshall told him to do. it is true that eisenhower had a very positive attitude towards the plan. this was his very own plan that he delivered to general marshall. confidence in the american military. you won't forget that in world war i, the arrival of one million american troops in the spring and fall of 1917 in europe turned the balance of the war. the americans, although suffering major casualties, acquitted themselves brilliantly. the american army was very confident that they could bring together the same kind of intervention or force and cross the channel. it was churchill who believe that it was possible, but that it was premature. was collectntervention strategy all the american soldiers in great britain, primarily in england, to train them for two years and th

we were looking at money going from eastern europe to the united states, back to eastern europe and individuals' names did not appear that that report. i refamiliarized myself with the report. corporations did. bank institutions did. but the fact is, is what gao found was the know your customer rule clearly was being violated by the u.s. financial institutions. >> can you explain that further. just for people who may not fully understand what it was. >> sure, i understand that. obviously, the united states is concerned about the potential use of u.s. bank accounts for money laundering, whether it be for corruption, whether it be for drugs, whether it be for other illegal activities, and there are various banking laws that, among other things, the know your customer rule, where banks are supposed to do reasonable due diligence to understand whose account it is, where they get their money, what type of business activities that they're engaged in, in order to try to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that fake accounts aren't being set up for the purpose of money laundering. and in this

not eastern europe, but central europe in the triangle of the three c's, led by the baltic.ass my geography lesson? francine: we will see. if you modernize eastern europe and if eastern europe catches up economically with the west, when you are in line to gain advantage to that, to put it into context, the three seas initiative is to improve infrastructure and energy links between the three seas. tom: the president of poland is speaking. simon smiles is with us. simon, we have an understanding of the expansion of nato buttressed up against russia and the tension that created within ukraine and with crimea. is prudent going to have the same complaints about the three initiative? will he look at a polish-centric europe as a threat, like nato? ofon: in the relative terms russia in europe, it does weaken their position. i am sure we say it in the same way as --. francine: what does that mean for investments? what we understand through infrastructure products, as we focus on the initiative, a lot of these are on the western side area i know we are trying to work on getting a map.

terrific energy guide that would help our energy producers, help polled and other countries in eastern europe escape the sort of blackmail that they've had from russia. he has proved, i mean, people were worried that he would bring the tweet donald trump over to europe, instead. he has really brought the statesman back over there. >> you know, and he's doing-- he's fulfilling his campaign promises, which is to pursue again, an america first foreign policy. this is a president who does not want war, but he understands the best way to avoid war and conflict is to be clear and straight and strong and firm. and to, again, not try to capitulate and do what these other adversaries want an american president to do. and so, i think you're right. it's very statesmanship like-- statesman-like. and again on the speech. i commend the speech to americans to go back and read it and look at it, it's great. david: the polish speech. >> it's a magnificent speech of western values and should be everything that the americans should agree with. despite the media saying it's bigoted. david: they're not admitting

energy question so important for eastern europe?> eastern europe deals cotton between a big supplier, -- deals caught in between a big supplier, which is russia. they are dependent on russian there isthat is why more u.s. lng coming into the region. they feel that the u.s. can be an alternative supplier of energy to the region, and they will no longer be in the position where someone can have a monopoly over their supplies. vonnie: you see there the president and first lady taking out in a helicopter for the flight of the g-20 at the international airport. john, let me ask you one more question. typical things that have been strong points at g-20's in the past have been things like trade. toan and north korea came agreement on a massive trade deal. how much this trade feature in these talks this time around, given there is so much else going on? john: trade, if you like the glue that bind the g-20 together, it was trade and was thel linkages, that making of the g-20 at the heart of the financial crisis. trade will always be importan

it's a question, both in moscow and throughout eastern europe, what's gorbachev's attitude going to beho want to change the communist system? >>> while china's communist rulers were brutally cracking down on democracy, poland's communist leaders today were accepting a form of democracy, the results of parolmentry elections and admitting that solidarity was a big winner. >> for supporters, the taste of victory is sweet. the numbers are overwhelming. the government conceded and promised reforms. >> stupendous first time it ever happened in eastern european communist history and this was contagious. >> one of our producers from primetime live went into east germany posing as a tourist. our producer took a home video camera, went to line cig and found an incredible scene there. >> in east germany, you see a series of demonstrations for change and the question becomes, are these demonstrations going to be repressed and wiped out? what is gorbachev going to do? >> this was the show of mikhail gorbachev's show and tell day. guests of eric con denver in a military parade through the heart of e

you know, eastern europe is a different animal than western europe and particularly poland. poland embraced a lot of free market policies in recent years and it does have a growing economy. and i think his speech, listen, i criticize donald trump all the time and he says that-- he does some incredibly-- things that i don't agree with. but that speech he gave in poland about western values and civilization. david: quite a speech. it was one of the best speeches i've ever heard from a president. it remind me of tear down this wall. in that vein of tear down this wall. the normandy speech. it was a call to arms about western civilization. david: and you don't have a clock in front of you and i do. we see the president and his entourage. and i'll hand it to the crew down in washington. >> this is a fox news alert. you're looking at live pictures, we just saw the president and first lady board air force one in hamburg, germany. shortly afterwards, ivanka, trump and her husband jared kushner. they're headed back to the united states after a very, very busy g20 summit. a lot of hig

so i think his speech was well received by eastern europe. think western europe is still trying to understand donald trump a little bit better but i think irrespective of the polls being allowed to purchase patriot missile think is a very important step. it was something that president bush very much was for and was promoting the obama administration didn't necessarily see it that way. they took it off the table so i think for president trump to go there and offer that up it was important. >> we saw some protests in the streets and let's be honest you see protests any time g20 rolls around so it's not necessarily spurred by the u.s. or anything like that. the world leaders in one place and people want to get their voices heard but there's always been a lot of talk about the world standing and where the u.s. stands in the eyes of other nations and, you know, some people say well who cares, it's our destiny, not theirs. how much face does president trump have to t-, what's the game face that he has to come in here because obviously with the move

the quota breaks down northern, western and eastern europe. 60% of the quota sought were people born in great britain or ireland and there are far fewer immigration opportunities for people who are in southern and eastern europe, people who are considered racially, religiously, economically undesirable. about 100 people per year and many are barred by racial grounds. you can be at this point too brown to enter the united states and become an immigrant. the quotas are maximum and not goals. crucial in understanding the american responses to the holocaust, the state department decides in your country whether you can qualify for an immigration visa to the united states. you are not coming to ellis island and presenting your papers, you're doing all that in europe. crucially also, the united states has no refugee policy. we only have an immigration policy so people fleeing racial and religious persecution have to go through the same deliberate immigrations steps as anyone else. in 1929, the stock market crashes. the u.s. and a lot of the world defends into an economic depression and as a

. >> america is committed to maintaining piece in eastern europe. we will work in response to russia's actions in destabilizing behavior. >> molly: rebecca heinrich helped launch -- thanks for being here. undoubtedly, this is the big, anticipated meeting of the g20, the face-off between our president and his russian counterpart. very strong language in this speech talking about russia destabilizing particularly in the ukraine. he called on russia to drop their support for hostile regimes like syria and iran. why the strong tone just before this very important meeting? >> i think he is laying out the parameters of the context for this meeting and that is that russia has been pushing back on the united states, undermining the united states for the past decade and really gone unanswered. president obama was very soft on russia. this was the reset that he tried to do, so he gave them to rush every time russia tried to push back. what present trump is trying to do, he doesn't want to antagonize russia necessarily, but he is letting the president of russi

even mike pence, on a trip to eastern europe focused on russia, weighed in.he u-s does not plan to call for a united nations security council meeting as it has after previous launches. u-s ambassador nikki haley said, such a meeting, would produce quote "nothing of consequence." a busy vacation destination... now a ghost town... at the height of summer. north carolina's governor ordered mandatory evacuations for all non-residents of hatteras and ocracoke islands. this comes after construction crews accidentally cut three electric cables that provide power from the mainland. as crews work to fix the problem, business owners... are already feeling pinched. there is still no word when power could take days or weeks. the humane rescue alliance is sending a very big thank you to all of it's supporters! this is why.. they received this heeping pile of blankets, towels, and bedding. we helped them put out a call for help after heavy rain-- backed up the sewage at the adoption center in northeast-- and flooded several kennels with contaminated water. staff spent satu

and russian aggression in eastern europe. second, the importance of strengthening atlantic security. these growing dangers pile pressure on our international system, so we need to do more to strengthen nato, the bedrock of our defense. not just in spending, but making the alliance more agile and capable of tackling dangers from all directions. third and finally, the necessity of deepening our own defense ties. i am very conscious that it was a hundred years ago that the united states entered the great war alongside britain. today, we remain your strongest ally, collaborating on everything from corporations, to intelligence, from the nuclear deterrent, to the f-35 aircraft. but an uncertain world must bind is even closer. and with our orders now for maritime patrol aircraft, helicopters, and our aircraft carrier undergoing c trials, there are opportunities for further cooperation between our militaries. mr. secretary, let me assure you that this election, britain has a strong government and a steadfast commitment to defense. h

reagan did not negotiate eastern europe. we had this vision. if you look at the memoranda of the conversations of the summits between reagan and gorbachev, reagan did not put eastern europe on the table. we had a vision and that was not negotiable. arms control and how to avoid armageddon. somethingrope was that reagan felt strongly that was not something we were going to find some sort of compromise. it >> it wasn't. >> this happen in the first year or so of the bush administration. it was one thing to be shocked and happily surprised by the crumbling of the berlin wall. was another thing to be shocked and surprised by the collapse of the soviet union. early 90's the during the bush administration. that allowed the geopolitical opportunity to create a europe, whole and free. with the breakup of the soviet union, the collapse of the warsaw pact, the reunification of germany, then it became not just arms control, a new geopolitical reality in europe. >> time for one more question. yes or. >> [indiscernible] >> you mention the summit, i was wonde

our allies in eastern europe can become didn't get the united states of america stands with them. we are committed to nato. we are committed to our common to and in the president wanted estonia andere to georgia and montenegro to make sure our allies know that we'll stand with them as the united states has six days throughout their history. the prime minister just shared with new helming what is the will of estonia that all during the time of soviet repression the united states of america never recognized the soviet union's claim and we stand with them today as free and independent nations since 1991 and the president wanted me to make it clear to these baltic states and to the wider world looking on america's hands with our allies. originally in nato headquarters not her believe article five. what changed between when he went through the standing there worksnding you a broad? we have made it clear the policy of our administration is to stand firmly with our nato allies and to then firmly behind our article five commitment that an attack on one is an attack on all. it was very mov

to our allies in eastern europe, we stand with you on behalf of freedom. it's great honor for me to be here. reporter: do you anticipate president trump to sign the russia sanctions bill while you're over here, and if so, how will that bolster your message that the trump administration is committed to defend these countries against russian aggression. >> the president has made it very clear that russia's destabilizing activities, their support for rogue regimes, the activities in ukraine are on acceptable. he made it very clear that very soon he will sign the sanctions from the congress to the united states to reinforce the, but at same time, as we make our intentions clear that we expect russian behavior to change, we remain very hopeful that we will see different behavior by the russian government with regard to ukraine and supporting rogue regimes in iran and north korea. we continue to believe that if russia will change its behavior our relationship can change for the good. he wanted to improve the interest of both of our countries in the interest of p

how important the nato alliance is for eastern europe.u know, you can make jokes about things that are going on here in the american media, but i don't think he's going to make jokes about the seriousness of which donald trump brings to the equation of supporting eastern europe and poland in particular. >> sure. the level of office being the president of the united states, i mean, at least we know, ron, it's not, you know, an informal pull-aside. this is a full-fledged bilateral meeting. again, hearing from administration sources that the priorities of the meeting are syria, ukraine, the kremlin says there's not enough time on other issues. i mean, how optimistic are you that the u.s. will win, you know, any concessions from russia? >> you know, there are a lot of things that are unique about president trump, and i think one thing has actually quite common to other presidents is that i think each president arrives with an outsized expectation about how their personal relationships with other leaders can change the equation on the underlyi

america is committed to maintaining peace and security in central and eastern europe. we are working with poland in response to russia's actions and destabilizing behavior. we are grateful for the example poland has set for every member of the nato alliance by being one of the few nations that actually meets its financial obligations. as you know, i have been pretty hard on some of the members of nato for not and the money is pouring in. -- we haveticized been criticized but i can also say that people of nato are not criticizing, they are very happy. the money has been pouring in and the last year, far greater than it would have been. it is past time for all countries in the nato alliance to get going and get up to their obligations. i can say that poland has been right there and you'll even exceed that number and i appreciate that very much and so do a lot of other countries. during our meeting, i congratulated president duda on the recent polish election to the united nations security council and we discussed our mutual commitment to safeguard the heart of our allian

[inaudible] think we in the baltic region in eastern europe, we have something to share with you because almost everything you are expressing here in the united states were in western europe, we have experienced a ready. information war, economic influence, you name it. everything we have experienced already. i will try to speak today about this particular experience because i believe you will find some parallels to the processes in the west. first of all i would like to say i was asked to talk about autocracy. i should say it's not a tool, it's a weapon. it's not only vladimir putin, it's also about the system. his regime weapon i sent cryptography and it's not only about certain goals. the second thing is, we are dealing with not a normal steestate, we are dealing with mafia state and that makes a difference. they are rejecting all kinds of influence which is not usual to state influence. talking about our experience, he said he started to be interested in these topics in 2013. i started to be interested and work on this in 2003. it was because i don't know how many of you know, we hav
