nothing more than pushing the soviet union back into its internal borders, to strip it of its eastern european countries. >> bulgaria, romania, yugoslavia, czechoslovakia and poland. along with the eastern baltic states were all in the soviets feared. soviet sphere. the cia and mi-6 were a special secret intelligence service that began to run programs to turn those countries against the soviet union. as we all know, most of them did not work out so well. primarily because of a gentleman like kim philby. about that time, u.s. army was rethinking its conventional mindset. the office of strategic service had been eliminated after world war ii. -- had been eliminated after world war ii. the peace dividend. the army was concentrating on conventional warfare. about the 1950's, people start ed to think that we needed more of an unconventional approach to things. a number of military officers got together and created what eventually came to be known as special forces. in 1952, the first group was created. its mission was to conduct unconventional warfare. that is supporting direct action, sabotage mis

diverse, very memberships, we had eastern europeans. first and second generation americans as well, very diverse. to really get to the heart of the matter, we have to go back to just after world war ii. know, we fought world war ii with our allies france, britain, of course, the commonwealth countries, a number of others and the soviet union. in 1946, we started to realize the soviet union was not the partner that we wanted to continue going to the ball with so to speak. rhetoric, the actions of the soviet union in poland and the czech republic -- czechoslovakia in late 40's, the berlin airlift and 94 91950 were all signs that our relationships with the russians were going away. adjustment by the name of george wrote a very long telegram out of moscow which outlined his that reallyfears outlined american policy for about the next 30 years. it tilted the united states toward containment of the soviet union. it became even more offensive in the 1950's when korea was -- south korea was invented by north korea, of course, the domino theory

right now the president is in poland for a summit of eastern european countries, about a dozen eastern european countries before he gets here for the world's largest economy. the country that has taken a front and center stage here is one that will be a part of none of these talks. that being north korea after the launch of its latest intercontinental ballistic missiles. the president was asked at the press conference what he might do about it. does he think north korea will take a u-turn? is the president at this point willing to take military action? the president called it a threat that needs to be confronted. other nations need to publicly demonstrate to north korea that there are consequences for their actions, but the president would not say exactly what the next step might be. only as you said the two words to get a lot of play on this. the president saying that there could be severe things. listen. >> as far as north korea is concerned, we will see what happens. i don't like to talk about what i have planned. i have some pretty severe things we are thinking about. i don't draw

. >> well, you know, i think it's important for eastern europeans especially those that live just in e shadow of russia to hear america's commitment to places like poland and eastern europe so i think his speech was well received by eastern europe. i 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 ou

president trump is going to be in a day of meetings today with eastern european officials. they're bringing sort of a different context of russia than the president is getting when he hears from western europeans, leaders, or when he hears from concerns from the united states. he's hearing concerns from eastern european leaders about russian threats to the balkans and ukraine. that's what he was referring to when he talked about destable says behavior. this was -- destabilizing behavior. this was another reminder that president trump is not the kind of president we are used to seeing. we are used to seeing american presidents travel on the world stage to out to american values, to try to sort of send that image abroad. what president trump did was question the assessment of the -- his own u.s. intelligence community. he tried to undermine the free press at a time when poland is also cracking down on it and cracking down on the free press. and he suggested that maybe other countries were behind the meddling in the 2016 election. remember, whether president trump is likely to

protesters favor, when you look at all the examples in europe, side-by-side with western europe, eastern european neighbors had to deal with socialism and i don't think it is coincidental that trump received a reception there. >> when you look at what it has done to their economy and what venezuela is right now to protest, violent protests, tragic protests, there is no better case study or cautionary tale of the dangers of socialism and government control over the markets, they would do themselves a favor to look there and learn from that example and stop trying to bring it to their own countries and cause suffering among their own people. >> we have seen these protesters every time there is a big international meeting whether it is in europe or over here and i'm always wondering don't these people have jobs? they have a lot of time on their hands. >> good question but for some people they don't have jobs and -- david: how can you do that? these people are able-bodied people that could presumably get a job if they wanted to. >> that is where the frustration is, they are able-bodied people but the

now, a lot of these eastern european countries who are going to be meeting here all week this week, they'reg on russia for their gas supplies and that gives this huge juggernaut to the east of here a lot of political leverage as well as economic leverage over these eastern european countries. they're hoping that donald trump and this visit is going to break that. and for that, they're pulling out all the stops. some of the political leaders here have even said that other european countries are jealous that they're going to be hosting trump before he heads off to hamburg for the g20. some of the major political parties here are bussing in supporters from outside of the capital to be present when donald trump makes his famous -- his address here in warsaw in the polish capital. he's going to be making an address at the site of a 1944 uprising against the nazis. so that's going to be a very, very good look for the president before he moves on to hamburg in germany. and that's where he's going to be confronted with some very, very difficult questions and probably some very awkward run-ins with

most of the eastern europeans that he met with were very supportive, not only of his specific plan to increase energy exports to eastern europe, but just in general they seem to like his style more than the western europeans did. a lot of protests that turned violent in hamburg, but the summit itself seemed to be apart from the protests and in fact, we had some successful interchanges with people that a lot of folks thought were not going to get along with him. charlie gasperino. i was surprise today see the parisian president getting along with him. we never thought that the president trump would get along with the french. >> the parisian president, is that macron? [laughter]. david: macron. >> i just want today make sure there wasn't a separate president of paris. here is the thing. 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--

he saw me when i introduced myself, he put his arm around me and said to the eastern european leaders was me. this is a good guy. i think what president bush understood and what i understand was that there was something more than just winning or losing a presidential election. it was making sure that the race itself was fair and free and open for the american people to decide. the irony is that the young woman who sent me those debate tapes and those materials wound up spending a year in jail, and the federal judge who sentenced her said at the time that the reason the sentence was so harsh for a first offense was that she had interfered in an american election and had lied to the members of the judiciary about her role. that's why the sentence was going to be so tough. >> former congressman thomas downey, we are out of time, but it is such a pleasure to talk to you and to hear from someone who clearly did the right thing. thank you. >> thank you. >> what a fascinating story. this issue about whether donald trump jr. should have gone to the fbi was indeed a key question on capitol hil

you can hear it in that clip and what's fascinating about that is that when you go to those eastern europeanre no longer there — the holocaust or whatever, they left the country or they're dead, or they were killed — the ideas were not killed. you still hear those sound in those villages. it is impossible to kill that energy, it's impossible to kill an idea even though you can kill people. there was that and then there was this very rigorous classical stodgy thing of the string quartet, so there were so many elements coming together and what was magical about this is that it worked. it worked. it is like we could have not spoken the same language and yet the fluidity of the human body, the universality of what she was doing, she understood the rhythm. there were things that were...there were things that were just beyond the need to translate and it worked — we did it in five days and i think that is sort of a controlled experiment, it's proof. it is really interesting. let's switch focus a little bit because you talk with such passion about how you can find common ground with an artist like

eastern european security and western european security so you've seen all of that defense budgets are going up and finally domestically we're talking about the right kinds of issues at this point. we're talking about a reform of healthcare tax reform which will give us an opportunity for more investment. he succeeded in the courts now on the border issue so i think that he's made a great deal of progress concerning the fact is been. a decisive and strong opposition to the peace of the progress that i think is making you mentioned. lots of areas of progress but healthcare is still very much a work in progress. where do you see that going now because the president had that lunch yesterday with republican senators they still can't get them to agree? well i think that's true but i think that we need to remember that if he had not been elected we would need be having this conversation. leaves the opposition party and people on the far left i just happy with this program there is that exist today which is not working very very well. but i think that week conservatives need to actually artic
