of washington.get when he says hamilton gained in comparable power under washington because the president approved of the agenda he promoted with such tireless brilliance. jefferson was wrong when he charged that hamilton manipulated the president. washington is nobody's puppet. he can be soft-spoken, gentle and kind, and if it is his province, he will not let anyone do it. as he influenced by hamilton? unbelievably so. why? because hamilton and he basically see things the same way. whether you like it or not, and some of you would like it and some of you would not, washington is more of a hamiltonion than he is of a jeffersonian. in his view of the world, he sees it more that way. it is something jefferson could never accept. it is an absolutely crucial factor. there is no doubt that men grow closer together doing the term as president. hamilton would resign in 1794, washington remains president until 1797. dealing with crises is like the national debt, whiskey rebellion, all of the ramifications o

states jordan egypt you had secretary of defense mattis here in washington in fact . calling for or in fact putting him in process. to withdraw or to draw down the patriot anti-missile patriot batteries in bahrain and kuwait so there's a real question about whether the us military is involved i think it's much more of a political dynamic and one that president trump is pushing both to show that he is in control in the middle east before the november midterm elections here and as he goes into his two thousand and twenty reelection campaign that he has a firm anti iran pro israel strategy with these arab countries generically defying because he doesn't really care about any of them individually to give him a political a political push here in the united states in his domestic politics mustapha is there a risk as far as the leadership where you are is concerned and could it possibly be this if you try to codify the relationship between disparate countries diff disparate religions where they are with those countries led by reckless leaders quotes i'm using the word advise

and from washington hillary mann leverett former u.s. state department official and now c.e.o. of the political risk consultancy strategy welcome to you all much of coming to you first what's the point of this i think it's important to put this in a context this is not the first time that the united states tries to have sort of alliances of coalition against iran this was the case treat the deal with iran and always there was a kind that you know the regional players should play a role on isolation and isolating iran. as the norm of the not to state this was the case and again as iraq since one nine hundred ninety one what is it you know and this. is that this comes out from the profession of the commands within the department of the state who believes that it is enough to be away. from the reality that the united states does need its own alliances in the region and they need to see more involvement from within the region with it effort to isolate iran for this is and i see that the administration this is an attempt from the bottom to th

the problem we have in washington is spending. the jobs act is estimating that we will generate about $3.4 trillion worth of revenue. we are hoping they will be accurate. the problem is that we are going to spend record amounts of revenue, that is $4.2 trillion. while john talks about being fiscally conservative and being concerned about the debt, since he has been in washington, he increased the debt ceiling 11 times. he stood here before you 12 years ago and talked about it was one of the most important issues that we faced. yet he still continues to increase the debt. >> we'll move on into the open discussion portion of our current topic on the economy and again to alternate back we will have senator tester start. sen. tester: that still continues to be one of the most important issues. if we don't deal with in a commonsense way, we will be in big trouble. that is why support a balanced budget. that is why i voted against three of the five budgets i thought they spent too much. this last budget i supported, it helped rebuild th

agree with but do you also do you go by what washington says on the face of it here washington claims that the sanctions are retargeting russia or in the end. do you think there is more to it than this bearing in mind the you know the trade war except for this going on as well at the moment and this tit for tat spot that's come from the trump side to feel there's more to it. well to me that meant a. new action campaign the next and in november as well penned on the power of the don't know on the part of president on the song to the. agent. that his campaign team had russian contact during the chant and sixteen election obviously. an element of the mess that politics. and symbolic with a little bit of element to a new cold war mentality so do you think we'll see you know the media response from beijing or are they going to wait to the midterms over eccentric central improbable to what might happen. i think the war is a big issue much will depend on what. kind of will continue to send deputy premier or a little rang him up issue to the united states who have to. move which has been corr

the history of the denial in washington tells us that washington denials have no meaning. at the top of the mountain of meaningless denials in washington, is the multidecade denial by mark felt that he was deep throat, the source of the extraordinary reporting on the watergate scandal in the nixon administration. mark felt finally publically admitted he was deep throat because nothing is distrusted in washington more than the denial washington reporters actually invented a description for the kind of denial that they must transcribe and report in their newspapers, but they do not believe. they call it the nondenial denial. now that term could only be invented in a town where denials mean absolutely nothing. think of all of the washington players who had repeatedly denied that they were planning to run for president while they were planning to run for president. and there is a constant stream of policy denials that everyone quickly forgets, like democrats denying they were going to drop the public option from the affordable care act right up until the day before they droppe

after washington slap sanctions on the people's liberation army over its purchase of a russian weaponry. to analyze what beijing has said we have to see we have to look at what washington's doing and essentially it's playing a double game it is targeting russia mostly with its new round of sanctions but also launching a blow that is well which intention is to damage beijing everything revolves around the russia's weapons brushes heavy weapons like the su thirty five fighter jet and the s four hundred surface to air missile defense system and so china bought some of those units and now it is also coming under fire for that and while beijing let me tell you was not impressed when it found out that it is being dictated some new rules on this arena of arms trade other than fair competition we strongly call on the u.s. to remedy the mystique and cancel the sanctions otherwise the u.s. has to bear the consequences russia has also reacted to this new round of sanctions russia still diplomat sergei lavrov has said that what these acts are doing they essentially are pushing more school towards r

you've been in washington for a long while.import of what happened in washington? >> i think this a game changer. i mean, this is bad news for donald trump, and it's a big deal. i mean think about it, now you have michael cohen, george papadopoulos, michael flynn, rick gates and paul manafort who have reached plea deals with robert mueller, and manafort himself has of course been convicted on eight counts. i think it shows what an immovable force mueller is, how he's close 'ing. and think about who's left, donald trump, jr., roger stone, and donald trump himself. so i think we're seeing maybe the beginning of the mueller deal and he's closing in on the oval office. >> you're no stranger to the treacherous terrain that is washington, and when we look at what we saw on friday, it says an awful lot about how crooked some of those relationships can be when it comes to lobbying, when it comes to information and disinformation. what happens as a result of this to the lobbying industry in washington, d.c.? >> well, i would hope there
