the most amazing things about that night is seeing my mother chatting away on one side with madeleine albright and thinking to myself, three trailblazers. i hope that comes across in the book. >> ambassador right, they like to talk about you on fox news of the flick if you look at their names and video, and the fox news comes up. .. the primary motivation for me to write this was the fact that i feel like ever since 2012, there has been characterization and mischaracterization of who i am. it bears no resemblance to who i know i am. as long as i was in government, i was proud but constrained to speak for the president or obama. i couldn't speak for my self talk my own story in my own words. that's why i wrote this book and i've tried to be as candid and raw as i can. i could go back to the hard scrabble stories of my parents and grandparents, my own challenges in childhood, my parents went through a painful divorce, and extraordinary shaping experience for me. to talk through what i've learned from being the kind of feeling that fox news likes to create and being characterized and mischaracter

george h w bush, jeanne kirkpatrick, madeleine albright, susan rice, samantha pollock. these americans brought to the table years of experience as former ambassadors, senior state department officials, national security council and more. ambassador craft simply cannot mask the foreign policy expertise -- match the foreign policy expertise of the others. before serving in canada, she had no previous foreign-policy experience or executive experience at all. it would seem that are most along with that she her husband contributed more than $1 million to the president's campaign. during the confirmation process, investor class performance suggested a deep lack of knowledge and applicable experience. i want to be clear -- this is not a judgment on her character. this is merely an assessment of her ability to represent the united states of america on the world stage, where she will grapple with one of the most hot spots and challenging issues of our time. when asked to identify the most pressing issues facing the one and comment on how the united states could leverage the huma

it was the insider who seemed most comfortable with humanitarian intervention with madeleine albrightwas the other one. after 911 it was a different playing field entirely but he saw iraq in some ways as an extension of the same -- we have a terrible dictator here and the ability to get read of him and we should work with the un but if you can't we don't need to because the rent was not there and it was the problem in bosnia and not the solution in bosnia and kosovo the rent was not involved and we did not go through the un in the war in kosovo so i think it created ideas that were destructively misleading. in some ways we are always learning the lesson of the last war. albrecht grew up with a great generation that created the postwar institutions. for him, world war ii and nato and the one were what american foreign policy was about in vietnam comes along and it's an application of that and the wrong place. bosnia comes along in a whole new generation tries to apply vietnam and it's the wrong place. iraq comes along and the architects of bosnia apply it to iraq and it's the wrong pla

i would say madeleine albright was the other one. after 9/11 it was a different playing field entirely. but he saw iraq in some ways as an extension of the same - - we have a terrible dictator. the ability to get rid of him. we should work with the un but if we can't, we don't need to request the un was the problem in bosnia, not the solution. in kosovo, the un wasn't involved. so i think it created ideas that were destructively misleading. in some ways, we are always learning the lesson of the last war. holbrooke grew up with the great generation that created the postwar institutions. for him, world war ii and nato and the un are what american form policy was about the vietnam comes about and it's an application of that and it's the wrong place. bosnia comes along and a whole new generation tries to apply vietnam and it's the wrong place. iraq comes along and the architects of bosnia apply it to iraq and it seems like it's a cycle. and in syria, you could say we applied some of the wrong lessons but that's another story. >> when you

this is the statement from madeleine albright.an ego trip, even those who think they are chosen. >> trump questioning the value of going to the g-7 really speaks to how productively he used his time last time. he was there before, if he doesn't find value in it, it speaks to how he used his time on the ground. trump is eager to meet kim jong-un and vladimir putin. he likes to surround himself with sycophants. others are afraid to voice their difference with the president. >> that's why he doesn't like to be there? >> he likes to stay home and watch television and tweet. we know that macron and the chinese who will be there have strong disagreements with the president. he can't take it. >> last year's summit, we all know that the french president has decided to abandon signing that final communique at the summit calling it pointless. what does that say about leaders expectations? around trump? >> it shows the g-7 has already been watered down because of the president's presence. the g-7 can be the best group date you ever had. you

i was there with secretary of state madelein albright.lieved the rights of the people of hong kong in that agreement should be respected for at least the 50 years of the term of the agreement. and the president, if you look at his tweets today and in past days and his other public statements, he is opening the door to the chinese government to use military force against those protesters. you cannot read it any other way, and that's exactly how the chinese government is reading it. so the greatest authority the president has -- the presidency has always had is the moral authority of our democracy, of our founding principles. and dan is exactly right. ambassador shapiro, the president has let our allies down, he's dismantled the global trade regime, he's made a thousand mistakes, the greatest one is this. he's not exercising the democratic power, the belief in human rights americans have always believed in. and in that regard, he's completely deficient as a president and weak as a president in expressing our values. >> ambassadors burns and

nobody knows this more profoundly than madeleine albright, given her history and chuckles back yet. and her parents -- in czechoslovakia. and her parents history. the problem we face now is with these russian trolled and others, with china and around. russia most notably. how do we get facts to people? one of the problems in america's that everybody is in their tribal nations heard nobody is entitled to their own facts. >> the problem has become one that we in america do not share the same facts. and certainly people around the world are getting misinformation. ms. wright: let me do from some thing bob said. me the waying to that 12 years ago or 25 years ago, cnn really defined in a national news. they were the one that set the priorities and that people around the world watched. today you have already which is russia today. you have the chinese cctv which are prevalent on cable networks around the world and have studios in washington. and are probably available on local cable networks. aen it comes to having megaphone to broadcast your when followers, converts, whatever, other natu

serious position that's held been held by some true heavyweights, daniel patrick moynihan, madeleine albright even, george w. bush to name a few. and then trump got elected and appointed nikki haley, who gave the job some real shine. >> i think she's helped make it a much better position, if you want to know the truth. i mean, she has made it a very glamorous position. she has made it a more -- more importantly, a more important position. >> after haley quit, trump wanted former fox news anchor and state department spokesperson heather nauert, who on an official trip to saudi arabia with secretary of state mike pompeo to talk about the murder of "washington post" journalist jamal khashoggi tweeted this. now the search is over. the senate just confirmed potus' impressive nominee for the critical role of u.s. u.n. ambassador. >> a native kentuckian, kelly craft. how are you? >> hey, i am great. i'm so happy you are here. >> you probably as part of your job work a lot with justin trudeau, the very handsome canadian prime minister who everybody swoons over in america. what is he like? is he as ch

. >> nick confessore, i read to you my tweet from madeleine albright -- g7 shouldn't be an ego trip, even those who think they are chosen need friends. does donald trump think he needs friend, other than bojo? >> no, he doesn't. the whole idea what the g7 is supposed to be is an accuman to him. think how they unfold, months and months, behind-the-scenes formation, it's structured and staged. the actual event is not always where everything happens. he hates reading briefing papers. he hates getting along with people. he hates sitting through meetings. what will happen, he will walk in, have some pollcides, probably put a bid on iceland and get into a fight and go home. that's how he does all of these every time. >> rev, what do you think? >> i think you must deal to the fact when you go to these kind of meetings, the goal of most global leaders is how do we interact and have some sort of consensus. when you have someone at the table purely nationalist, purely i'm about my country and only and it's us against the world, he doesn't even fit in the context of what the meeting is about. h

robert gates understand working with people like your father and knowing -- madeleine albright, knowingple who escaped their homelands after adolf hitler and fascism swept through their countries and so people should not roll their eyes when they get warnings from people who survived that time when somebody like madeleine albright draws a parallel or you have robert gates talking about the real concern he has about donald trump's affinity for strong men. trump is a strong man. he is playing the role of a strong man. that is incompatible constitutionally with the madisonian form of government this country has had for 240 years. 240 years, we have been a system of checks and balances. in fact, our constitution was put together specifically -- and it was a genius of madison and hamilton's constitution that it was put together specifically to thwart the evil designs of strong men. and right now, mika, of course, the constitution is being challenged because as we have said for some time on this show our founding fathers foresaw the rising of an autocrat or a wanna-be strong man. they never f

i can easily imagine saying -- say, a history of madeleine albright and the state department that isn't about gender. temple university. to internationalize the idea of suffrage, we know that after world war i it was not just the u.s. women seeking the vote, but many european countries. the discussion moved into why it didn't make much of a difference that women voted, and that got me thinking, why do we assume that voting should have changed? because in some ways the impetus for granting the women the vote was that my chrissy was at stake, world war i, will sony and ideas were about democracy, onian ideas were about democracy and women having a seat at the table. so women voting differently from men presupposes that women are , andmentally different that voting is male or female. so my question is, does internationalizing this and looking at the interwar period at the moment of democratize a show in in many countries, and interestingly france did not grant the road grant the vote and aen until 1944, french politician argued it was made possible because women in germany got the right to
