mr. bolton from oregon. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i am not quite sure what the people of borneo did to disturb the wrath of my colleagues from ohio, or perhaps she can explain later to them. here is the deal. the energy and commerce committee did work across the aisle, or attempted to, to fully fund the children's health insurance program. to fully fund health centers. every step of the way my colleague and friend asked me to work with them. we tried. cannot reach a full agreement, what we tried. we worked in good faith with each other. 15 democrats on the house floor voted to extend children's health insurance program for a full five years. that equals the longest extension. senate,it over to the but unfortunately they could not find agreement. so we came back and we kept extending it. way, mrs. pelosi said will we are doing today by putting full funding into the children's health insurance , is, and i quote, a bowl doggie do with a cherry on top and calling it is sunday. today ton opportunity help of the leadership of the appropria

mr bolton has been under pressure since it emerged his girlfriend had made racist comments.nequality is one we all know by now. and yet, the figures are still striking. oxfam has the latest report on the growing gulf between the super rich and the rest of the world. the charity says some 82% of money generated last year went to the richest 1% of the global population. it blamed tax evasion, companies' influence on public policy, the erosion of workers' rights for the gap. but some have queried the charity's figures. a year ago oxfam said eight individuals have as much wealth as the poorest half of the world's population. now it has revised that figure to 61 people. the report coincides with the start of the world economic forum in switzerland where christine lagarde, the managing director of the imf, raised the issue of income inequality. global growth has been accelerating since 2016, and all signs point to a continuous strengthening of that growth. this year, in 2018, and next year, in 2019. so this is very welcome news. growth, in our view, needs to be more inclusive. not

mr bolton says his romance withjo marney is over after she sent texts saying prince harry's fiancee meghancorrespondent ian watson has more details. another year, another leadership crisis for ukip. you will recognise him, he was in charge at the time of the referendum. diane james took over briefly, the nigel farage became ca reta ker briefly, the nigel farage became caretaker leader before giving way to paul nuttall. after a poor election results, henry bolton took over but he was soon morph known for his personal life than his policies. his girlfriend made racist remarks including the meghan markle would taint the royal family. jo marney said her remarks had been taken out of context but some said he had to choose between his girlfriend and hisjob and choose between his girlfriend and his job and it seems he's chosen choose between his girlfriend and hisjob and it seems he's chosen his job. she's absolutely devastated by the impact of the messages that have now come out, without in any way defending them because they are appalling and the words used are offensive and quite rightly she h

mr. bolton, mr. dick. two comments and three questions. real quick.on't think america has any place for neo-nazis. it is an embarrassment to our country. secondly, black or white, republican or democrat, we all should realize we are americans first. , when it comeson to infrastructure and you talk about rebuilding roads and iuff, i thought that was, thought there was a federal gas tax and stuff to fix all of our roads? if they douestion is fix the daca for the 800,000 people that came over young, they said it would cost $19 billion -- now i could be wrong just process them and also say the wall is about $20 billion -- so don't you think that maybe they could come together -- i mean, they won't, but if they did, trump gets his way, plus they get daca because they are both going to cost about the same? my last question is, what do you think about the alabama election where roy moore was accused by all the women and girls, so it was a big deal, he lost because of that, i believe, and now, you don't hear a word about the accusations and stuff, you don't h

which is — that message has been lost because all the focus the last couple of weeks has been on mr bolton'sive. you can let us know what you think by tweeting us. all the ways of contacting us are on the screen. time for a look at the weather. that's davos. they've had so much snow there. it's a ski resort. also the avalanche risk is really high. it's been a phenomenal season across the european alps. are we going to get a break? that's lying snow in scotland. these were the temperatures yesterday, the atom into the south—west. by tomorrow we will all be in the milder air, some places could see 14 or 15 celsius. we have lost that cold feeling, the winds change direction, pushing that milderair change direction, pushing that milder air across the country and in fa ct we milder air across the country and in fact we have had some good spells of sunshine this afternoon. temperatures only nine or ten but in the sunshine it almost looks springlike! most of the showers in scotla nd springlike! most of the showers in scotland and northern england have just about gone, a couple lingering, a few icy

mr. bolton could be in the cabinet in 2018. he had interesting things to say on our program. is yet another reason why the president should get out of the nuclear deal with iran, resume all the previous sanctions, economic pressure on the regime. provide financial support to the opposition that they desire, work with intelligence services from other countries, saudi, israel, to provide more pressure. there's a lot we can do and we should do it. our goal is to have it regime change in iran. >> peter: of the overnight, the ayatollah came out against president trump. they said, you have no right to be siding with the protesters in our country. what will be interesting to see, who does the world side with. iran leaders, who are cracking down on evil protesters, where the president. >> todd: doesn't look like the united nations, like they sent last week on the air, americans could come up with the simple plan to give food to a puppy, and the united nations would vote against it. it will be interesting to see how the world responds to iran right there. >> lisa: for those at home wh

mr. trump occasionally -- doesn't have the patience to go through details. laughed about how donald trump thought john bolton's mustache was unattractive. those things were absolutely said. >> want to read that directly from the book because again, it includes the author's context. quote, actually it asks -- sorry. i want to read the bolton one. regarding former u.n. ambassador john bolton. well he got in trouble because got in fight in hotel one night and chased some woman according to ailes. bannon responded, if i told trump that, he might have the job. did you hear that? >> yes. yes. there was a lot of -- sort of a lot of i guess you would call it unpolitically correct stuff going back and forth. i think that was one of the things mind blowing to me was the level of trust they had in michael wolff, saying all of this in front of two people with the ability to put this out in the world. >> and no talk of this being off the record? >> ground rules at this meal, when it started, nothing could be used at that moment. until later, michael wolff upon roger ailes' death was granted permission by his wife, his wido

i want to bring in john bolton, former un ambassador. here is my opinion, mr.assador, president trump dominates the world scene in a way that president obama never did, i think that's a good thing, what say you? >> absolutely. there's a narrative out there that even german chancellor angela merkel was saying yesterday that isolationism withdraw from the world is a bad thing criticizing donald trump. that's not trump's view of the world. and i think he's demonstrating it, he's come to the resort center of globalism and he is going to tell them exactly what he's doing in the united states. this is the kind of test and confrontation, i think, the president -- i have to say myself i was dubious about this, who would wanting to to davos? i think he will take them on. a lot of the participants are business people, they might talk during cocktail, come to america. stuart: seems to me that emmanuel macron has become the leading of the europeans as angela merkel fades with her own political problems. listen to what he said about globalization, i'm quoting now, let's not
