i had the great pleasure of working with our next guest speaker, chef roll-on messier, the first five years of the clinton administration. i was the white house -- secretary, and he was the executive pastry chef, and i still hold him responsible, for the weight that i have put on, while working there. and i mean it, it was about 10 pounds. sneak over there every day. he is a world-renowned pastry chef and author, who has held important positions in the most prestigious hotels. the sheboygan london, the george frank in paris, and the greenbrier in west virginia. he has served five, count them five extraordinary presidents: jimmy carter, ronald reagan, george hw bush, bill clinton, and george dubya bush, and i think that deserves a round of applause. but, too many of us, he was also a very good friend, and trusted colleague, and here is where i got in trouble. he was always ready with a cookie, a truffle, a piece of cake, a sliver of pie, no matter what else was going on in the white house that week. and, when it comes to creativity, well, i may be a little bit biased, but if you match

but i've heard it, i truly heard it for the first time. >> reporter: messier's moment would come at thers home opener during a pregame ceremony, he was asked to wear the helmet of fdny chief ray downy who was killed on september 11. >> to be honored with that was incredible, but also felt a huge responsibility to do the right things and say the right things in honor of all the people that lost their lives that day. >> reporter: you met his family also right after, right? >> met his family after and stayed in touch. in fact we were just here at the museum for another function not long ago. everybody is growing up and kids are growing up. they all have kids now. it was a great reunion. >> reporter: to know you had an impact on a family that was going through so much tragedy, what does that mean to you in >> i was the one that wore the hat, but i think it was everybody. all the sports men and sports women in the city who did so much. >> we had a shared responsibility. it will exist forever. as mark has said repeatedly, you cannot forget what happened see a little blood when you brush or fl

( applause ) i don't want no virgin on the supreme court! ( laughter ) a virgin deciding our reproductive rights, are you serious? how are you going to tell a college girl what to do with her vagina when you never met college vagina? ( cheers and applause ) i mean! trevor, would you want someone deciding on healthcare who's never seen a doctor? no, you want someone who's had sex with a doctor. only doctors! you know, getting that full coverage. ( laughter ) >> trevor: i don't even know what that means. >> yes, you do. >> trevor: but judge kavanaugh said he was a virgin then. he's not a virgin now. >> how do you

they get messier. to use on on technical phrase. it has been the united states, not unilaterally, but has often led its galvanized responses by others to deal with these challenges to order within and between countries. but what we have now, for the first time, is the united states that is unwilling to do that. not unable, but unwilling. this is something unprecedented in history. because i would argue we have benefited dramatically from this world order we have helped build and maintain for 70 years. it has not bankrupted us, but we spend a large percent of our gdp on defense. it is less than half what we averaged during the cold war. we can afford to do what we are doing. it is not like we are exhausted like great britain was after world war i or world war ii. it is not like we are coming apart like the soviet union at the end of the cold war. we have essentially chosen not to do this anymore. the word i like to use, i'm sorry to say, is abdication. what we have is the united states seeming to essentially have chosen to abdicate i

it is a messier world. the fabric of international relations is fraying.t the trade order, the wto , what were not doing on climate and migration issues. there is no one willing and able to step in. francine: what does that mean for fractured country policies? more wild wild west? rules, no no enforcement, no sheriff, and a lot of people with guns. that is the messiest part of the world. you will have efforts to stabilize north korea. the president is overstating what has been accomplished. the biggest area of uncertainty people will and how deal with a presence throughout the region, and in syria. there is not one big thing. we will probably look back on the rise of china as the big geopolitical challenge, but there are any number of things that can go wrong. tom: a focus on the united nations, the bloomberg global what have you learned this week and what we learn in the coming days on international relations? >> leaders are beginning to assume the u.s. will be what you and i have been talking about and they have to fill the cap, even though they can't. t
