david: so how has it been working with reporters and listening to this ministration?y still using america first? is that still a mantra here, or in light of what we saw a earlier this week, are they shying away from that as they try to embrace some kind of facet of international presentation? >> it depends on what proposals we are talking about -- participation? >> it depends on what proposals we are talking about. steve mnuchin and those guys are scorn on the hard right as the globalist wing of the trumpet ministration -- trump administration. think they are true believers to the extent that a guy like over ross is. alex, thank you so much. coming up, jared's return to israel this week may bolster white house efforts to row great peace deal between israel and palestine. we will stick with the congressman -- our california congressman brad sherman. that is coming up. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ this is bloomberg markets: the trump economy. jared kushner, the president's son-in-law and chief of the middle east diplomacy is in israel today. prime minister benjamin netanyahu

. >> rick perry is here to talk about what the president and others in the ministration are doing all this week to emphasize our commitment to american energy dominance and he will take some of your questions after that. of course, i will be happy to set back up after that and answer questions on other non- energy related topics. be nice to him. he's from texas, and i quite arkansas but a good neighbor. >> thank you. my privilege to be here today to share with you a little bit of observation that i have relative to energy week. this week the trump administration will bring together state, tribal, business, labor, all together, one room, happily sitting down and discussing how we will go forward. what the password is for us energy dominance. president trump wants america to achieve energy dominance by utilizing our abundant resources for good, both here and abroad. energy dominant america means self-reliance, a secure nation, free from the geopolitical turmoil of other nations who seek to use energy as an economic weapon and energy dominant america will export to markets around the wor

does the president share the epa administrators thoughts on this topic and why does the ministration sort of back away from using the word climate change back as i mentioned, i'm not had an opportunity to specifically talk about the president about that. >> yesterday the president painted a dire economic picture if we were to stay in the training and yet dozens of the top ceos lobbied the president to stay in the paris climate agreement. why would the president argue that if all of the ceos are saying we need to do this is the president right about the. [inaudible] >> the president advice from lots of individuals and there were other sectors that were concerned about the implementation of it. frankly, there were some countries and some organizations that are among those that you mentioned that while they maybe wanted to say and also expressed concern about the target levels. >> >>. >> i think the reason the president is because the countries including china cannot making substantial progress to reduce their car bin footprint so by negotiating a better deal toughly we can get a better

it structure altogether social security ministration has been able to remove the nine digit from about one third of the mailings it to sense out moving forward then committed to removing them from the remaining notices wherever they revive-- revising notice which requires computer upgrades. the severe constraints on social security administration budget are preventing the agency from removing numbers from all notices right away as they estimated it would cost 40 million to do so immediately rather than piecemeal. more alarmingly, since 2010 the number of beneficiaries has grown by 30% as a baby boon or-- boomers enter retirement, but social security's operating budget has fallen by more than 10% in that same time. social security administration civic cannot serve more and more people with less and less money each year. social security administration is struggling to serve its beneficiaries at the level they deserve. my constituents are experiencing multi- year wait times on disability appeals and hearings. of their phone calls are going unanswered. of a face delays in correcting errors

room to make progress we should work together to make progress now the reason that the trumpet ministration doesn't have any legislative achievements to point to is they have no legislative strategy and no what gender they said oh yes that is you know the truth they ran into the living room for a walk around the house so during he legislative so the point from joining house the republicans control the white house they control both houses of congress this should be a time when you point to your greatest legislative achievements this is their two year run and they show republicans don't much have only fifty two seats in the united states senate so they will need eight democrats to you know peel off and get on board and this is governor i think we'll see what's going to stay on mom waiting for the wings just like that but it seems i should be so tired of winning right now all right all right right but it seems that you know i mean there has had a strategy of resistance and you know being an obstructionist if you want to use that term again politically is that helpful and useful if democrats ha

and the trumpet ministration off track when it comes to their legislate no not at all critics are saying look the g.o.p. has not passed one major piece of legislation since january twentieth well that's not true let me point out that in fact the the trumpet ministration has achieved a deregulation revolution in the first half of the first year in office it's amazing whether it's the e.p.a. whether it's the f.c.c. those are executive orders out of the white house we're talking about passing legislation on capitol hill and a lot of critics say that well you know there are you have not succeeded there you have to look more of paul ryan then mitch mcconnell but i would say this ryan seems very teed up to get these tax cuts passed and mick mulvaney the head of all when be office of management and budget is working very closely with both houses to get this tax agenda through and that's one of the reasons that mitch mcconnell is so determined to get the health bill on the floor next week because the first work in . will be about health let me ask you about that here the common sense caucus yes

first, how much of that 1.4% is attributable to the actions of the ministration or inaction? -- will, when we will we start seeing the 3% or 4% growth rate? >> i believe i have been clear on what our projections are for growth, and that we can get to 3% or higher gdp. we have been clear that is not this year, next year, and will take some time to scale in. our projection over the 10 year is 3.9%, which is quite conservative. the president and i who believe we can do better than 3%. our projections in the budget are quite conservative, i think to the extent we can get health care pass, tax reform passed, rollback regulatory issues, which we are working on very carefully both in financial and in energy, and in other areas. we are very comfortable that we will hit these growth projections. i will take two more questions and then i will have to turn it over to the superstar over here. >> thank you. the president said before if china is not going to help solve the north korea problem, then the u.s. will. he made clear he does not think that china is currently doing enough, so wher

no input from the trumpet ministration so far, and before i continue along those lines, let me finish, i believe it was a rather bleak outlook so let me apologize but i hope i will provide some positive note in that regard. >> thank you. thank you to the arms control association for bringing us together for these important discussions. it's an honor to be here. i fondly recall my time as a student when i was first getting into this field. sometimes a long time listener, first-time caller. my husband said that would work. as a student of policy study, you learn about the garbage can model. we all know this. it's this idea that policymaking is as organized anarchy and consists of various streams, problems, solutions, participants in choice opportunity. choice opportunity is essentially garbage can into which various problems and solutions are dumped by the participants as they're generated. it's very important that the garbage is processed and remove removed. it's cynical for policymaking but it's very descriptive of the current state of relations. many old garbage cans and new garbage

few weeks ago that talked about the level of hysteria in the mainstream media about the trumpet ministration found out that it was the most negative coverage ever in covering a new administration journalistic ethics have collapsed in the year of trump because they're so desperate to harm him so that explain for a long time why the president why the public was concerned and why the polling numbers were so low and now the polling numbers are recovering it's not because the press has been less hysterical it's because the people have finally had it with the mainstream media don't believe them anymore and would like us all to move on and talk about something substantive and the operation of the nation. well the big news in this morning the white house claims the syrian government is preparing to launch a chemical weapons attack president trump's press secretary says the u.s. will take action if that happens. the united states has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the assad regime the united states is in syria to eliminate the slum extent of iraq and syria if

trying to fold the trumpet ministrations every move can literally leave your head spinning take for example the crisis the state department stands as of tuesday is a demand that the saudis back their claims qatar supporting terrorists now that it's been more than two weeks since the embargo started we are mystified that the gulf states have not released to the public nor to the qataris the details about the claims that they are making toward qatar but the point two weeks ago trump didn't seem to be mystified when he said qatar does sponsor terrorism the time had come to. get to our two ended spawning. after. that it's extremist ideology and the tweet term even credited his trip to the middle east for spring on the decision to split with qatar struggling to follow the logic so my but maybe that's just how the trump team works everyone gets to do what they want for one the defense secretary can make decisions about sending more troops to afghanistan without asking the president to understand it's my responsibility we're not winning in afghanistan right now the biggest non-nuclear bomb ever us

we break down some more hearses latest exposé regarding the official narrative behind the trump ministrationmajor escalation in syria. it's wednesday june twenty eighth or pm in washington d.c. and you talk to sweets and you're watching r.t. america well just hours ago a new secretly recorded video surfaced this time appearing to show a non-air c.n.n. host dismissing the substance behind the network's heavy coverage of russia's alleged connection to the u.s. election well it's this second undercover video featuring c.n.n. employees on russia in just two days project barrett test founder james o'keefe is behind the videos. there was ario tells us which c.n.n. host is the target of the latest release. it's been one public relations crisis after another this week for c.n.n. first the network retracted a story that tried to draw a connection between a donald trump ally and an investigation into russian funds the story had one anonymous source and in the aftermath three reporters resigned and now this on air host and political commentator van jones caught project veritas undercover camera saying

standards from the trumpet administration and i think it also reveals the fact that they trumpet ministration him practice actually isn't doing anything. in syria at least when it comes to fighting these terrorist groups be a big it isis allow others to go it is significant in that i think it's the first time there's been combat where u.s. will play in a shot another one down is first time i think i'm a correct me if i'm wrong i think that was done since kosovo so it's significant on that level but given that we now see every time there's an incident of some significance the cooperation gets suspended where we roade we going down here are we going to see more suspension than cooperation a. as you said yes it's the first time since the nineteen nineties that this has happened but regarding are we going towards you know more suspension of cooperation i think that's what some people in the u.s. administration actually want so they don't meaning they don't want to have the cooperation between the u.s. and russia maybe not necessarily trump himself but i think you do have think is who was very ant

ask it is a huge departure from the previous ministration. no doubt, president obama made it very clear that he wanted climate change action to be a significant part of his presidential legacy. now we see president trump dismantling it. it was less of a dedication to this under the bush ministration, when there was more evidence coming out. consensuscientific was really crystallizing, the bush administration did not quite excepted to the same -- accept it to the same degree as the rest of the civilized world. president trump has said in the past that global warming is a hoax, that it was created by u.s.hinese to hurt economic growth, and other things that sound outlandish when you stack it up here. he spoke his campaign promise, it struck a cord in the heart of appalachia, kentucky, pennsylvania, which he won by significant margins, and they have been hit by the changed world, the shift to a cleaner energy. >> what we know about the timing for all of this? this decision happened yesterday and he is making good on a campaign promise. what do w

conflict but it's hard to tell just how much things might be ramping up in syria since the trumpet ministration ended the practice of making the number of troops on the ground public former pentagon official michael maloof says this sort of action is most certainly an indication of just that with the shoot down of the issue twenty two and now the latest drone and even prior to that u.s. . a text of. on syrian troops as well as hezbollah and iranian. proxies if you will in the ultimate off area that really reflects something much more. an escalation for the united states and something much more serious for the united states in terms of what it intends to do there and right now we still don't have a strategic plan. for syria on top of that the united states is in syria without permission without the congressional approval and. the russians are tolerating this because they don't want to direct conflict with the united states and as ed mentioned and iranian made arm drone was shot down the second drone the second such incident with a drone in less than two weeks and the pentagon has issued a statem

be called conservative as richard wolf in just a moment and why do the trumpet ministration really stop funding a program to fight neo nazis who look into the disturbing possibilities and tonight's political analysts with brian pruitt and sam sachs. mitch mcconnell has now delayed a vote on the senate republican health care bill until after the july fourth recess what exactly this means for the future of the so-called better care reconciliation act is at this point unclear but one thing is certain in its current form a senate republican health care bill is a death sentence for tens of thousands of americans every year in fact a new study published in the annals of internal medicine suggests that about twenty eight thousand six hundred more people could die every year in the united states if the senate health care bill becomes law for more of the republican party's murderess health care bill i'm joined now by richard wolffe visiting professor at the new school cofounder of democracy at work and the author of numerous books including capitalism as crisis deepens as sais on the global econ

what the administration sort of the trouble is ministration currently seems to be taken a much firmer had in syria than a bomb it did why and did you expect that. well yes we did i think this is the same policy and nothing has changed because of the isolation of iraq even though the administration itself with the obama administration they had a softer talk and they were less pollution narrative but the actions are we think it is them the obama administration who decided to isolate russia meaning again to prevent the syrian army from reaching that and liberating the state you know let's just create a position whereby the syrian army cannot penetrate and so in a sense this is the same polity is the policy they are protecting their proxies now they shifted and this is the change but i think this has also has been decided a long time ago they've shifted their focus from. groups and rebels the top rating in the western part of syria to those who are operating in the eastern part and southern part of syria they've basically ditched the glib rebels you know to put its money and now they're f

they all know he needs to get us all so people that have been hanging on from the left over it ministration here ok that is also we actually know who he was they if they notify him but you may have really wanted to fire them all you make it would probably don't last that they should be a special prosecutor to find out who's leaking and it's a it's a felony and people should go to jail because they're all protecting each other and he has authority presidents don't want to run on crime and various already you know these people who didn't try to do anything to do that tomorrow and then you have sessions ok already to appoint a special prosecutor tomorrow good you know point especially right here with law and here he should do that ok because it doesn't look like a i don't mind it was just it should be done i agree we had somehow it's decided that that's his issue you know it's his i made a strange and i'm sure it is i'm sure it ministration and his if you're going to say i'm sure it will grieve with you that just should be done here ok i have a new but it kind of stuck in the middle anywhere w

and his equivocal importance in preventing the nuclear contact these could suffer the ministration i have tried so hard to put the president is willing to counter. the president tends to express himself differently and more directly in such matters and most policymakers but i would argue that you can see this but i'm discussing quite clearly in his remarks which unmistakably suggest that foreign perception of us weakness and decline in the national security has helped to produce a world in which aggression and conflict are more likely to remain stronger and more firm. >> he told anderson cooper last year that the obama administration that we don't want to get bigger. but he noted at that point in 2015 that nobody is afraid of our president, nobody respects our president. my context, the peace through strength approach to determinants could help forestall some of nuclear challenges that considered true american decline. the gq magazine he made clear that he intended to ensure our military is strong and respected and it was this strength and respect he felt would help us prevent nuclea

that he that that's his issue you know it's his it made a strange and i'm sure it is i'm sure it ministration and his europe are going to say i'm sure it will grieve with you that justice should be done here ok i've been there but it kind of stuck in the middle anywhere where is this discourse going because you know i went through all the cable stations for i sat down here and you know everyone wants this thing for maybe about a half an hour maybe less and then we're going to go back to the battlefront here ok i mean where is you know where does this go because what bothers me is the deal little we give legitimacy is our institutions in america the democratic process and it's giving power to people that were not elected people in the media and people in the deep state and the deep state in the media have such a cozy relationship with a good part of the media and they like this here they make everyone else fight because they're making the decisions go ahead i've been. well i don't see the i don't see the problem i mean if you go back in american history this is not the nastiest political perio

collusion with the trumpet ministration to win the election. which may or may not have affected the election in the long run anyway much more concerned i'm much more concerned with the running of government issues with corruption of justice issues of incompetence issues of lawing issues of inaction are much greater concern to me than anything else in your book is titled the greatest story ever told so far and it's about the history of physics and what a research but you know the word great or great this is such a low that weren't in the american political context there were at the ranch it was working to you. what does this word mean to you what do you mean by that great well what you may not know because this. is actually i was a take off of a movie in the united states called the greatest story ever told which is the story of jesus so what i was really doing was taking off on the bible story and claiming that the story of the real universe is so much more interesting than the story of the bottle i absolutely know about this movie and moreover

has gone on the air and gone after the trumpet ministration connecting them to russia with unnamed sources unsubstantiated reporting we're hearing in the news room news coming in to us this is what our reporters are telling us it's all garbage and everybody in this town knows that james clapper is the guy that is feeding see him in all of this garbage and they have nothing these investigations started back in july there's nothing on the table tonight they've interviewed everybody under the moon either that or the f.b.i. is horrible at what they do what's happening here how do you read this but what i'm saying is why this right now let's point to be made rushing story is officially dead what i'm hearing what other people are saying is within the hallowed halls of the d.n.c. that number was also being said enough we have not only trumpeted but a rush of fatigue this is the official death certificate of that issue it's gone nobody bring it up anymore and this is also. a message to other news outlets we're taking the heat from you the signal is the dog whistle no more russia no more drama it's

does the ministration believe that president's trip to saudi arabia has any effect on their decision to cut ties? >> ask me that again. >> does the ministration believe that the president's trip has any effect on their decision to cut ties with qatar? >> i think the meaning in their aware starting to lose sight of this. the meeting there was about cooperation. cooperation to fight against extremism, to fight against terrorism and isis. one of the things that was agreed upon by all of the entities there is that that is a priority and one thing we can work together on. >> that was the message then, who ended up cutting ties anyway? >> there are always going to be issues that individual countries have with one another. what they agree to is the topline issue of working together to fight extremism. i do not think that is going to change. >> the president said that his trip was quote, paying off. what did he mean by that? >> i would have to refer you to the white house on the question. >> in the aftermath of the attack in london, the u.s. embassy in london -- support of the president of t

which vocal it announced that the trumpet ministrations failure to respond to the attack.the actual police report, which nobody bothered to read, the victim of the attack repeatedly denied it was a hate crime. instead she believe the attack was related to behavior of her daughter who recently left her husband to enter a relationship with another woman. she disapproves of her same relationship, and believed in this disapproval may have somehow provoked the attack. it's complex, but it's not what it was represented as. there've been a lot of bogus hate crimes since the election, which covered several. but this is a new low. activist groups with an agenda making up a hate crime even as the supposed victim actively denies it is a hate crime. she supports president trump's travel ban, and she joins us now. things let for joining us. to the hate crime question, it does seem like there was this spat of hate crimes reported against american muslims, and to the extent that we have looked into any of them, some perhaps a real, some are real. but it does seem like there's a political
