and politico's chief national affairs columnist susan glasser. welcome, guys. s today. i'm going to try to be specific. susan page, i'm going to start with you. we've got a lot of questions about whether or not this was illegal. there's debate if this was treason, coordination, solicitation. politically what does this mean? >> politically this is a very serious development that we've seen today with these e-mails because the e-mails are so blunt about what is being offered and donald trump jr.'s response to it. i don't know. i'm not a lawyer. i don't know if this will violate the law. what the criminal penalties might be. but i think it does cross a political line that says that donald trump jr. despite his protestations for months afterwards, for a year afterwards, did indeed have a meeting that was presented to him as one at the behest of the russian government offering hi dirt on hillary clinton and his response was i'd love that. susan glasser, if it crosses political lines, what does that mean for republicans? >> as you saw earlier today with senator cruz,

susan glasser, over to you, do you think his critics are getting carried away on this one?luding, most seriously, the fbi and special counsel investigation headed by bob mueller. jamie makes an important point, to throw around words like that is probably not constructive for opponents of president trump. the impeachment word has been used almost since noon on january the 20th, when donald trump became president, and the bottom line is, even if that were to be the outcome, we're talking about years of investigations and a very difficult political process on capitol hill before anything of that kind would happen. you get the sense from talking to lots of people who are understandably confused, they think, when will impeachment happen? next month or something? democrats are confused as to why republicans are not more outraged by any sense of collusion or dealings with russia, let's say, watched you make of that? —— what do you. as someone who has been very critical of the republicans and the stance they have taken over the past year and a half, really, on russia, i have to say

susan glasser joins me now. susan, a remarkable piece. tillerson teamed up with mattis to block mcmaster's initial version of a proposal which they believe trump and political advisers, notably chief strategist steve bannon would not support without clearer markers of success. talk to me about the role, steve bannon very publicly was kicked off the national security counsel ill, but from your piece it sounds like he still plays an null role in decisions about national security, which might disturb some people, but might be what the president wants. what do you understand to be the case? >> well, i think you're right. it's what the president wants. and by all accounts steve bannon has been involved very much in the discussions that -- months of discussions over what to do about afghanistan. it hasn't gotten as much attention as the debates over russia or the iran deal. but when i started talking with people about this, what i found is that the fight over what to do about america's longest war has been consuming the trump white house. remem

i'm joined now by pulitzer prize winning historian, eric foner, and susan glasser, former foreign policyhief and the first editor of politico magazine. susan, was it significant, do you think, or how significant was it that the word democracy did not appear at all in that speech? significant but not a surprise. trump doesn't use the word democracy often. some people here were likening his speech to a european version of his american carnage and inauguration speech. that didn't also mentioned democracy. he has gone back to a clash of civilisations route rather than unification. a clash of civilisations, harking back to samuel huntington's 1993 work where islam replaces russia as the enemy of western domination in the world. does that tally with what you heard today? what was interesting was trump was laying out this apocalyptic vision of the world divided into the forces of light, darkness, and it gives you an insight into what you might call the intellectual origins of trump's outlook. it may seem absurd to put intellectual and trump in the same sentence, because he doesn't read books, h
