i believe putin believes what he says or was he saying i believe what kuhn is saying -- kuhn is putin is saying? -- >> the present believes the aboutn investigation nullifying the election of last year so whatever he makes these not just the is conversation, it is the context of the broader conversation in a battle he feels he is raging -- waging on russia. best of my reporting, there's not a bigger confidant and the director of the cia mike pompeo. relationshipthis as someone who channels the base with president trump. because pompeo, the president has walked back, but that does not mean the president is somehow happy now. he still believes that steve this athat there is state line against him. -- what isx reform going to happen? >> the senate and house has to figure out how to pass it. it has been ruptured by the roy moore controversy and you have this major factor of tax reform. should the corporate tax rate begin immediately or should it be extended? is suggesting maybe wait until 2019. >> in that is because they want to have it appeal to the working-class people. this is a mainst

delaware democratic senator chris kuhn serves on the foreign relations committee and joins me now. not the best signal to the u.s. military on a holiday. >> i would hope that our president, as we look forward to thanksgiving, would be expressing his concerns, his concern for the three missing sailors and their families, his gratitude that eight have been returned safely and expressing ongoing concern about those in puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands where you still have u.s. citizens struggling months after the hurricanes where they don't have power and water restored. we've also got breaking or developing international issues in north korea and in syria with russia and elsewhere. why the president continues to choose to pick fights like this twitter fight with lavar is beyond me. it shows a lack of discipline and focus by our commander in chief. >> he certainly does not seem to be picking any twitter fights with vladimir putin. he had an hour plus call with the russian leader which we learned again, at least from the kremlin, rather than from our white house. and the readouts

joining us now is senator chris kuhns of delaware. >> thanks for drawing attention to this importantll i have been -- i've been really interested in this because i felt like this potential seriousness of this firing, the surprise nature of his resignation is very much out of proportion to the a explanation we've had for why he went. one of the reasons i wanted to talk to you about this, senator, is that sometimes senators push like this public will you because secretly you know what happened to the guy you're trying to get people to admit it. is this one of those cases? do you have a sense of what happened to dana boente? >> well i have real questions but not a firm answer to why dana boente was pushed. as i laid out in the letter i sent to the attorney general which has gone without a response so far and as i laid out in my letter it the chairman of the senate judiciary committee asking for hearing. this fits within a broader troubling pattern of interference with u.s. attorney's offices. while the president does have the right to act for u.s. attorney's resignations he can't do it

earlier robert kuhn, the author of how china's leaders think, told me beijing said the timing of theoincidence. in this context china—africa relations are exceedingly important. china has substantial investments in countries throughout africa, although zimbabwe is not its most strategic partner, it does not get significant strategic resources from zimbabwe, yet it symbolises this transition that china is making from the old sort of revolutionary approach of countries that defied the west, that had a relationship with china, to a much more sophisticated and nuanced approach to international relations. i would be very surprised if china violated its historic non—interference in the internal affairs of other nations as it has said it's absolute certainty in terms of its foreign policy objectives but, with this new nuanced approach, china wants a stable government, it does not want its hundreds and billions of dollars and tens of thousands of workers put at risk. china has responsibility to these people. china is not sorry to see zimbabwe heading towards a new kind of stability, even tho

but the boo the book explains t, thomas kuhn has a framework that seems to explain reality and over time the facts begin to contradict the framework and then somebody smashes the paradigm and that was donald trump, he came in and went poof, and the republican paradigm just collapsed. then you get a period of competing paradigms as we compete to see what's next. so i compared trump like an abby hoffman who was great at political theater and used theater to expose the weaknesses of the old order, that's donald trump. >> rose: is the damage you believe donald trump has done, how would you characterize its ? >> well, he's degraded public life. he's aroused bigotry. he's degraded intellectual virtue, just the idea you should try to be honest and if somebody exposes you're against the evidence you should at least try to feel uncomfortable about that fact. he's destroyed the republican party as i know and a lot of my friends know it. >> rose: destroyed it? i don't think it's coming back to what it was. and i should say he's not the only destroyer. it aged. it stayed stuck with ronald reagan and

i think this is going to lead you sharply of the amount of kuhn bans coming to the united states and this has implications what is between the u.s. and cuban governments dating back to the '90s, and there was an issue of 20,000 travel documents for people to travel and i have a hard time figuring out how viable with that they're going to meet that mark. they've also still not made clear whether there's going to be any process for issuing visitor's visas and slows down this kind of transnational flow. so, this does have serious impacts, this is an area i would say of kind of political vulnerability for representatives from miami who are defending this policy change, but these constituents are really suffering these practical effects. in miami, it's completely possible to be a member of any political party, to have voted for the current president or not. and still believe that you want to bring your sister over to come live with you. and so, i think to the extent that this drags on, this is going to be a real problem and i hope that constituents will tell their representatives about ..
