Big day today for president and it's RD kicking out at the G-7 seven of the world leadership that most powerful countries in the world. And behind the scenes they're lays the pressure and pretty heavily it sounds like woody woody what's on the agenda what do you think scene and some of these leaders want to talk about why I think the tone was set. In NATO and of course you've got some of our NATO allies here as as as part of the G-7. And the told you saw from the president there was of course a very east are almost lecturing. Gotta pay your fair share. No surprise he would do about it that's where he talked about. Forever never good at that he might come in try and make nice at least soften a total but he really good school some of these leaders and they didn't see my name. Took it very well and and and as you know that that the problem was not some of what he said about the need to pay their fair share of the problem was what he didn't say. I mean actually no statement direct. Flaunt statement of America's commitment to. To the NATO's tipped to the common defense of the attack on wars attack on all the United States will come to the defense of any of our NATO allies. That's the kind of message that they want to hear. He didn't say that now straw Spicer was asked about this. You know two. Off off off camera he's urged the president's if you really are trying to live. Evers article five. Ceremony how could you say that but they wanna hear those words in Russian insurance from this President Bush would article NATO obsolete exactly how it isn't that NATO's obsolete anymore. But don't you come here throwing out the assurances that you can see in the body. Leaders mean just entered Canada stone phase. People we're chit chatting some of them were being during this. I'm so far this has been a gas street shrapnel oddities and being asked that there were two moments yesterday that. Our recent headlines that. Pushing aside of the president on Monday. Era where it looked like president was kind moving into the front of that issue army's orders issued. Lot of people looking apparently not pressing charges not him Montenegro's is is you know. There's apparently had Haggis. And that he ends. And like. And. We actually see the white Lily white knuckles and it went. In Atlantic who has. On eggs yeah adjournment was like turn. The other hand shake it's a but it wasn't as good as the the being entry in the in the Oval Office. Our effort this Nancy awkward alliance we also that video crone walking towards trump in. Swerving away and Noriega. It to see Uggla Merkel first and chickens that everybody else and then come back. Fruit for for the biggest. Room and he can he used to the heat to mean what is he hearing geez. Will there is really one issue I think above all others for the other nations that are here and its climate change what's he gonna do with the Paris accord. These nations are part of the first corner states is to put his present trump and I cannot drop out. I he's basically getting the same message that he got from the Pope. Are right here which is don't drop out of this is an important agreement. You know most of the world's democracies are part of it most of the big that the big the world's big economies even China is a part of this. Don't join. You know Sudan Syria. You know. Just don't join the country's addicted addicted to that are on the fringes went that are not a part of this join this. I'm just stay apart of it and and I think it's that's a big questions are big declines in the winner came on this. Right I mean please don't send mom and daughter seeing a man and he you know. But it doesn't tell a lot often these big summits you get a major policy proclamation leading into coming out of it doesn't sound like we're gonna get that from this white house on climate change sounds like we're have to wait for him to get back to Washington. Where there are a lot of other fire's growing so take away all and we got. I think it's been it's been very strong trip there are some images that will. Be lasting and are not quite as positive. Admission you mentioned a handshake the pushing aside of the Montenegrin president. You know no question that there are that there there were a couple of moments that didn't go exactly right just in troops at the imagery. But I think overall this is very very positive trip for the president and he well comb. Change of pace from the disaster back callable in terms of the Russian investigation under one holding. And an all that's going on with new twist in that one. Mr. Kushner. Yes of this is this is actually I mean. On one in the news is entirely on surprising. Jared Kushner is a quote person of interest not even as that term. All it really means a collaborative. Bob Bennett outlines. I. It has that would be good we have we have a chance the end it is or do you like to interpret. What's you know he is a person interest and all that really means is the FBI want to talk to. And he hasn't as far as I've been told is that the approach. His lawyers say if he is approach you'll cooperate he has had seen kongers. Veto Senate Intelligence Committee also talked. But.

What was that meeting about that but they want to talk to you again no indication to target no indication these any legal jeopardy himself. But you know how these things go this will be a huge time suck for. Arguably the most important person on the White House staff. He's going to be having to deal of this he's gonna have to. I'll go on for years pretty well I I I would be surprised if if if you went on for. Anything less than a year before we never really a clear vision of what dollars. I mean it's going to be a long long time could it could go on. Throughout the rest of the store. President Carl this today he treated. This is gonna agree trip.
