mcfarland, china is the threat. we can't take our eye off the ball., we lose time, money, intellectual property and with wars we lose lives. we can't afford to do that anymore. lou: correct on all counts. and let's look at that headline today because this fascinates me. soros, if we can put this up, will trump sell out the u.s. on huawei? and it's an interesting headline since the effect of the article itself in the journal is to really compliment the president on his strength and his vision and understanding of the global challenges this nation faces and particularly in balanced trade, in free enterprise markets and certainly against espionage that's pillaging this country as we document here it seems almost every night, every week at least, to the tunes of hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and the trade deficits. >> look, soros was right about another thing too. he said look if you don't keep china boxed in and check them, they will expand their social credit system. can you imagine what societies would be like when you're under this constant

mcfarland. welcome back to "america's newsroom." great to see you. your take on what what's happening over the weekend with afghanistan and the taliban? >> i think they were hoping they would have a deal. they probably thought they had a deal. great place to announce it and a great symbol to announce it. but now that they don't have a deal i think it's important that they canceled it. you don't want to taliban to think they have the upper hand. two, it's time for the taliban to look at what life is going to be like when america leaves. no american aid or assistance and they can go ahead and kill each other until the end of time. and then i think number three, the fact that it wasn't a deal. it would have been such a travesty to have had it at camp david on the anniversary of september 11. >> bill: the theory probably serves maybe they thought they had something to announce. >> i actually think that would have made a lot of sense and i think you're right and nobody is saying that right now but i think the taliban just double considersed them. >> bill:

when ronald reagan stashes could advisor but mcfarland survived a failed suicide attempt, when he wokeup in hospital, the first person he saw sitting by his bedside was richard nixon. you will need an anchor, nixon told the recovery mcfarland, pointing at the bible on the nightstand next to the bed. your strong faith will get you through this. finally, after the dedication of his presidential library in 1990 where we are today. nixon told friends who gathered around afterwards about the time that his grandkids asked him what name he wanted to be called. you can call me anything you want to call me, he said. because i've been called everything. this period of his life shows nixon as a human. chosen as somebody who struggled through the failures of life, struggled to the setbacks of a medical career, and yet came out on the other side of it. nixon in exile as a different man. a man in full, , a man who could look back on success as well as failure, on tragedy as well as triumph, on defeat as well as his defiant response. he never gave up. and there's a lesson in that for all of us. it's

finlay mcfarland spent a semester studying in the czech republic and recently travelled across europe by train he feels the british government has let him down. whole new demographic of people are starting to question actually maybe independence is the way forwards and especially voting for young people like me like getting your vote for the future of scotland are we stuck with another conservative prime minister and didn't vote for and that's been going on for years and years and years now and how is that fair out of the u.k. into the e.u. that would be a big mistake at least according to this scottish labor party m.p. independents at this moment in time is possibly the worst moment you could be contemplating it and it would it would actually magnify the consequences that we're facing a because it breaks it the other fundamental point is what what precedent is that that established in terms of allowing a seceding states and i think that will be a question in a lot of government and governments minds across europe. not to mention that the british parliament would have to consent to sc

mcfarland, great to have both of you and a big good morning to you.pect from the address today? >> i think for me i was going to see what does he want to do? will he back down on iran, north korea, china, europe? and it's pretty clear from what he just said a few seconds ago he isn't backing down on anything. for iran, which does seem to be the primary focus of his remarks, he has it in a perfect position. the iranian economy is in bad shape. europeans are following trump's lead, not the other way around. we're independent of middle east oil. we have natural gas and oil. we're the world's largest producers and soon the world's largest exporters and at the same time he is now running the -- he is not taking the iranian bait. he won't attack them which they would love. they could rally their people. we have the strong economy. we don't need their oil. he has managed to get the raise lease and sunnis on the same page against iran and the europeans are following us. i think he is the king of the u.n. today. >> sandra: we'll see. he will begin speaking any
