Google photo QA: Trump news on Youtube Jul 16 2018

hi everyone I am Tootie of Tootie's corner and welcome to my channel in today's

video I have a special guest with me and my special guest is my husband mr. Bennie

I wanted Bennie to come and talk to you today about the trucking industry he is

in the trucking industry and the reason I want him to come and talk about this

is because he's seeing some things that is going on that we want to share with

you he wants to share it as well so let's get right into what we're gonna

talk about today first of all I want to ask Bennie how long have you been in the

trucking industry I want the people to know how long you've been driving a big

rig truck 20 years so Benny's been driving for 20 is it just 20 or just 20

plus years just 20 just 20 years he's been in the trucking industry and how do

you like it I really like it it's good he always tells me to get into something that I really like

well love because if I love it I won't have to work a day in my life and that's how

he is about his job he loves it and that's what gets him

going and motivated to go if he didn't like it he wouldn't be driving it would

be like oh I dread getting in this truck and going picking this load up but he like

loves to go do it because he just loves it and I'm glad that he loves his job

too but he's been noticing something since President Trump has been in office

versus when President Obama was in office so how was Freight for the

trucking industry or how was trucking industry overall when President Obama

was in office well the the rates were wasn't as good as they are now the rates

they ranged from a dollar fifty dollar seventy some sometimes two

dollars at highest two fifty a mile every once in a while on the land star board you

get a $3 a mile load but it's very it was very rare and it

and it wouldn't stay long and it just there always has been hiring in the trucking industry

but the rates and the amount of freight hasn't been as much as it is now as

good as it is now so how is the freight and the rate and all that now since

President Trump has taken office the rates and the freight now if you get on

the Landstar load board the company and I'm leased to the rates or if you get on

the dack board or any of the other boards load boards some of the loads are three

plus three to four dollars plus a mile some of the some of the loads pay ten

dollars a mile I just did a load from Stockbridge to Bremen that paid eight

dollars a mile and 60-something cent a mile so that's Georgia you guys from Stockbridge

Georgia to Bremen Bremen Georgia it was eight dollars a mile $10 okay eight

dollars a mile and that's some of this is due to the LED mandate so what isn't

it so what is an LED for those who don't know electronic logging device that they

made mandatory for every truck so every truck driver has to have a an electronic

logging device the and since that there's a lot of drivers exited exited the industry

when they happened but also it's because of the tax cuts the tax cuts that were put

in in that were implemented this year was it last year they helped a lot and I

think a lot of the trucking companies are benefiting from that too it's a lot

of things but the rates since I've been in trucking twenty years I've never seen

rates this good okay so what Bennie says is that the trucking rates are good it's

the best there's ever been since you can remember you've been in trucking for

twenty years he's an owner operator so he has his own tractor-trailer tractor

I'm leased to a company I had my own truck he has his own truck and he's been

having his own truck for a long time and he's he hasn't really seen the rates in

the industry this high before and they were not there well under Obama so we

just kind of thought that was pretty interesting and that lets us know that

what's going on that the economy is booming is doing pretty good and as they

say you have to strike while the iron is hot and get their Freight and make that

money yeah so you have anything else you want to say

I listen to the trucking channels Road dog trucking 146 and talking to drivers

- I talked to a lot of them at the shops and stuff and they said at this time

they're making more money than they've ever made they're making good money this

is a great time to be on an operator if anybody out there is looking to drive or

want out on your own truck this is a great time to do it you know because the

rates are good we don't know how long this is gonna last because you know what

goes up must come down so you know if your own operator or you know if you in

the trucking is even company drivers are making better money so you know I just

encourage you to try to you know - if you want a truck now is the time you

know it's no excuses I mean you have Walmart wants to hire UPS a majority of

the companies are looking for drivers I mean it is really good now I mean you

got guys that are really making a lot of money and they're doing very well so you

know I mean we just need to thank God for what he's done and blessing us you

know and so that's all I have to say ok so I wanted him to come and share that because

it's amazing to me that what in 2016 the freight wasn't that good but when as

soon as President Trump took office and did his

the the tax bill and all that the tax tax plan and the cuts and all that it

made a difference and Freight they cannot get Freight covered you know so

like Wow so that shows us that things are going pretty good and you know Bennie

travels around and he pays attention to what's going on and he says that there

are a lot of what jobs out here not just with trucking but yeah there's a lot of

job openings a lot of places that are hiring them there's a lot of companies

that are that are opening up now because of the tax plan and because you know the

reduction of regulations you know my mother told me she said that even in

Atlanta she said she's seeing a lot of hiring now a lot of places are starting

to hire so you I mean it's not only in trucking it's it's it's an other

businesses too you know I mean we here in America we don't have nothing to

complain about right if you want a job and you want to work you can work yeah I

know yeah what I see yeah this ain't

something we're just talking about this ain't something we're just saying and

making it's true we have no reason to lie okay you have something else to say

yeah just just there's loads that are on the board get to go that only go sixty

sixty six sixty four miles paying $10 a mile whereas before they went paying but

maybe a dollar dollar ten mm-hmm some of the loads paid only dollar thirty a mile

they paying triple and quadruple that now you can have loads that are paying

that go go 188 miles paying $1,200 I mean that's good it's all the time on

the board on our board and when you're looking at the rates four

dollars a mile plus three dollars plus that's unheard of you didn't see these

before dollar yeah at least the last time 2011

and 2012 2013 and 14 I get on the board I'd be on there all day trying to find a

load couldn't find anything that paid enough for where I could make a profit

from my truck and so now you're seeing that it got a little better but not much

in this time of the year it starts the the best months are March April May and

June and July and then them start to tail off but the way the rates are now I

don't think they're going away no time soon unless something drastic happens

mm-hm so I think that people need to take advantage of this while there's an

opportunity not only this but even with the good jobs that are hiring I mean

there's a lot of big companies that are coming that's gonna be opening you can

even go around Newnan and Atlanta and you see all the building and the

construction going on even in Birmingham they're building everywhere so we

need to take advantage of this and stop complaining that's right stop complaining

and get out there and make it happen yeah make it happen I have this quote

from I think it's JF Kennedy it says things don't just happen we go and make

them happen we got to make it happen we can't just sit by and expect somebody to

take care of us we have to stop complaining and we have to get out there

and make something happen especially for ourselves because nobody's gonna do it

for you have to do it for yourself take responsibility for yourself and that's

all we have today that's all we're going to talk about but I wanted you guys to hear

it from an experienced truck driver who is seeing what's going on and he's like

whoa I can't believe it this is amazing I'm glad president Trump is in because

this wasn't happening when Obama was in office that's all we have for you today

thank you so much for watching if you'd like to leave your comments please feel

free to do so in the comment section below so that we

can chop it up okay all right we'll see you in the next video bye-bye

Gutfeld: TYRUS I FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR PRES. TRUMP MEETS WITH LEADERS AT NATO SUMMIT - Duration: 13:35.

Trump wandered into NATO's quiet campsite in Brussels like a big orange

bear on a silent night everybody was sleeping soundly having the Obama dream

where he tells you everything's alright and then Trump speaks and instantly the

media and every you bureaucrat goes from a sound snore to hair on fire with

predictions of total destruction of Western civilization by breakfast NATO

was a wreck and we were abandoning the Germans to the Russians reminds me of a

movie in a world where many countries aren't paying what they should many

countries are not paying what they should where many countries oh us a

tremendous amount of money for many years back one man had a plan to blow

the world away he is going to fly into Brussels like a seagull he is going to

defecate all over everything Scotland fly away

when the world tried to pass the buck on the good old US of A a man with a plan

brought a storm of logic I think that these countries have to step it up not

over a ten-year period F to step it up immediately

dude man on unicorn snowboarding flooring of firewall flexing presents

John the trouble and Merkel and I and ziering as Steve the truck Nadeau

defecating on everything in Brussels like a seagull

Padgett hasn't anyone noticed a pattern in these phony panics yet definitely not

the media who are like infants Trump holds his fingers in front of his eyes

it says peekaboo and they all scream mix every time Tilly feeds them some

strained Peas and then everything's okay actually tremendous progress has been

made tremendous progress has been made everyone's agreed to substantially up

their commitment they're going to up it at levels that they've never thought of

before right in other words they never thought of keeping their promises to pay

their fair share and that's the media's real complaint here that we risked being

rude asking for what's owed to us in public oh we're such oh please it's it's

like when the dinner bill comes Germany is that dude who heads to the John

leaving you to pay and he expects you will cuz you're an American

but he never dined with Trump who won't let you go to the bathroom

people demand cash to your face Germany's tab isn't paid on NATO which

was designed of course to curb Soviet expansion yet the country is making

massive oil deals with the Russians sorry I think Trump has a right to call

Germany out for skipping out to do lines with puke Putin pipelines now Trump

watch everyone to up their defense spending why would he do that maybe to

get them to meet the target they already failed to me

could he be perhaps a stabled genius I'm a very stable genius yes now as Trump

tutors us on NATO what is England's response here's a rather amusing way for

protesters to show they're not so keen on his visit here to the UK here you

have it the Donald Trump inflatable baby they have come a long way since

Churchill a child's response to adult actions kids playing with a balloon now

Trump is supposed to meet with Putin which means that Monday brian Stelter

and Christiane Amanpour well once again put on their chicken

suits and tell us it's the end of the world and already they've forgotten the

Peter strike hearing remember that I don't recall writing that text if I

could give you a Purple Heart I would my tree inquiry is controlled by the

gentleman from our lumetri inquiry a parliamentary inquiry is not in order

because you don't want it to be you at least we have been we have indulged this

harassment you enjoy badgering of the witness can you share with us gentlemen

it's not your king up as you go along if it'll none will suspend if it's so

frustrating answer the question the gentleman has already answered that

question so now the gentleman from Maryland

Aston is recognized for five minutes I

can't stop it is he an FBI agent or a bobble head

but that hearing it created a comparison with Trump it's a group of useless hacks

versus the sole rebel dysfunction versus dirty Harry

ballet slippers versus cleats a Prius versus a monster-truck at the NATO

summit we got a guy Trump revealing a hard truth with the hearing we got an

FBI love bird shielded by his white night democrats so after all the

mainstream media freak outs maybe they should stop screaming and listen to the

grown-up who might be on to something I mean I never knew about that pipeline

and now I do again Trump has dragged something out of Europe's back room and

put it on stage and he didn't give to that he might have violated some decorum

that's his job he's our jerk

the fact that he pissed off so many people should endear him to us he's not

interested in being x man of the year just a leader of Americans so he left

the summit with pockets full about forty billion dollars if it had been Hillary

all she'd leave with is the silverware

and meanwhile and while Obama Obama might have been a lullaby Trump is a

wake-up call a sex pistol in the land of ABBA it's true it's true what the punk

movement did to music in the 70s Trump is now doing to politics and if you miss

that now it's like you're still listening to Emerson Lake and Palmer

which I

let's welcome tonight's guests shall we he's so sharp he can't hold a balloon

Washington Times opinion editor wearing seersucker Fox News contributor charlie

it hurts

like falling from a tall building onto hard cement he'll crack you up comedian

Joe Mackey she's mopey but never dopey National Review reporter cat tube he

once tripped over the Great Wall of China former WWE Superstar in my massive

sidekick iris

Charlie that's Trump ruined the entire world order yes thank God but no but you

hit all of it so well in that monologue I mean it's it's amazing they got you

know people say that oh he doesn't like NATO he's trying to undermine NATO he

wants to attack our allies but all the evidence that people put forth for why

he hates NATO and why he wants and why wants to undermine our allies is

actually evidence of the exact opposite he's trying to get more money for NATO

right he's trying to get support for there and and the thing about the

pipeline is a perfect example where this is a guy who is he's not afraid to talk

about anything and he really does educate people about yeah and it is

important IIIi think it's vitally important to understand that Germany is

is is spending money to basically finance this great huge enemy that we're

all worried about exactly exactly and while the whole point of NATO was to

protect ourselves against the people he's act they're actually funding and

then their heads explode when Donald Trump calls them out on I know it's

crazy Cyrus there are people who see Trump is

a jerk and it we get that I mean there's people will see you as a jerk I mean

I don't know any of them yes Ben I never get hold of my Texas make me get in

front of Congress that would I think I kind of feel for Germany a little bit

because it's kind of the world's bad guy yeah they're always gonna be the guy in

the room like who's the worst person in the room it's always Germany kind of

gotta wear that hat yeah so when he was like well they're buying oil from Russia

Georgia damn it like they never say like Germany

saved more puppies than any other nation that yes

Germany's doing backdoor dealings with Russia again weird yeah exactly

once again Germany's the bad guy and I think it hurt a lot of people's like

they were all like squirming and I think like France and England wanting what

dirty had on them yeah what's he gonna say next you know I like Donald

literally went in with a dirt like he brought up everyone's sleeping who they

slept with six years apparently German has been sleeping with Rush on the

down-low in their put it out there and all he wants to do was talk yeah

Germany's laying pipe with Russia so Joe what are your thoughts on this are you

comforted by our stable genius president I am and I when I read John Kerry's

criticism I thought it was almost like Trump criticism mad libs where he filled

it out without knowing anything that happened because he said that it was

humiliating to ask our NATO partners to pay their fair share and he was

glorifying our enemy Russia when he was doing the exact opposite if if he wants

to look at what embarrassed NATO was probably something more along the lines

of allowing Russia to overtake Crimea yeah and doing nothing yes

which was what John Kerry did exactly I should I should said that

yeah I was just helping you out okay what do you think about these British

protests you think they're having any effect yeah I definitely think that

making someone into a giant baby is like the best argument ever and you're

definitely going to win no absolutely not

it's absolutely ridiculous and I don't understand why anyone in America is mad

about this at all any of the NATO stuff because Trump got

us paid he's getting us paid here yes and I don't understand because you know

they might not like him but if I had to choose between someone liking me and

someone paying me

I mean I would probably choose them liking me cuz I'm like desperate for

self approval I understand that the right choice would be to choose the

money so I'm glad that that's what president Trump's done on our behalf I

believe I have paid people to like me in some countries where it's legal have

such a hard time with American sovereignty we settled this once before

exactly it's such a stereotype though it's the ugly American coming to the the

the snooty elite Europeans and turning the table over and then and then problem

is we're always kind of right my guess we always Americans always do the right

thing after exhausting every other possible option mm-hmm that's a good

that's a good way of putting it who said that Winston Churchill who's he he's the

he was the model for the baby I don't care who you have playing them they all

have to wear a pillow am i right Joe whatsit I want a last word from you III

kind of think that it's important to have a jerk for a president because it's

like having a a whole lawyer in court like but if America is a defendant in

court you don't want a nice guy you want somebody who's like you know gonna go

out there like you don't want your lawyer to be liked by anybody you don't

even want to like your lawyer maybe that's why so many people keep saying

it's so bad cuz they actually like what he's doing but they don't want the blame

I do that that's it yeah you want you you want somebody else to take the blame

we want to be good cop and he's bad cop exactly

President Trump Awkwardly Blocked Queen Elizabeth — and Twitter Has Some Thoughts - Duration: 3:32.

Queen Elizabeth and President Donald Trump's meeting wasn't without some awkward moments

The leaders met for the first time on Friday, and the internet couldn't help but notice how Trump walked in front of the Queen during their walk while inspecting her Guard of Honor

In a viral clip, the monarch appears to make a hand gesture as they turn the corner

She then attempts to pass behind the president, who stops walking and completely eclipses Queen Elizabeth from view for a moment

She returns to his right side and continues their walk. Grant Harrold, a former butler for the royal family, told ITV News that letting the Queen lead in every scenario is a top rule in royal protocol

Twitter users, including Alyssa Milano, called out the break in etiquette. "This is disgraceful, @," wrote the actress

"SHE'S THE QUEEN and she's 92 years old! You're incapable of acting like a human being

You're incapable of being a leader." After more than a year of back-and-forth about whether he would be heading to the U

K. for an official visit, the president — along with First Lady Melania Trump — met the Queen at Windsor Castle

The Trumps were welcomed at the Quadrangle of the castle, where a Guard of Honor gave a royal salute and the U

S. national anthem was played. The Queen and President Trump inspected the Guard of Honor before watching the military march past

The president and first lady then joined the Queen inside the castle for afternoon tea

Protesters marched through the streets of London — about 20 miles from Windsor Castle — against Trump's U

K. visit on Friday. Carrying signs that read "Trump Not Welcome" and "Dump Trump," tens of thousands of British people took to the streets of central London to protest Trump in what was dubbed a "The Stop Trump March

" Trump didn't seem bothered when a crowd of protestors showed up to interrupt his golf game over the weekend by calling him racist

While squeezing in a round of golf at the Trump Turnberry resort in Scotland on Saturday, the president was seen waving to a group of nearby protestors who were chanting, "No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA

" In a video shared on social media by Frankie McCamley, a reporter for the BBC, Trump can be seen walking towards the protestors to acknowledge them, before turning back to resume his game

Oregon Ranchers Pardoned By Trump Get Free Ride Home In Private Jet – You'll Love Who Made It All - Duration: 5:32.

Oregon Ranchers Pardoned By Trump Get Free Ride Home In Private Jet – You'll Love

Who Made It All Happen

Now, this is a really cool gesture.

The day after President Trump pardoned the two Oregon ranchers who were at the center

of a 40-day armed standoff against BLM during the Barack Hussein Obama administration, the

pair got a chance to fly back home to Oregon on the private jet of an oil company founder

who once donated $50,000 to Vice President Pence.

Dwight and Steven Hammond were convicted back in 2012 and sentenced to five long years in

prison on what most consider bogus arson charges after the two allegedly set a series of fires

on their ranch that by accident spread to federal land.

The case sparked a 40-day armed standoff of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016.

A standoff to protest against the fact that the Federal Government is the largest landowner

in the U.S.

Here is more on this via The Hill:

"One day after President Trump pardoned two Oregon ranchers who were at the center

of a 40-day armed standoff, the pair flew home on the private jet of an oil company

founder who once donated $50,000 to Vice President Pence.

The ranchers, Dwight and Steven Hammond, made the trip on Wednesday with Lucas Oil founder

Forrest Lucas, according to a post on Protect the Harvest's Facebook page, a nonprofit

founded by Lucas.

The Hammonds were convicted in 2012 and sentenced to five years in prison on arson charges.

The two had set a series of fires on their ranch that spread to federal land.

Their case prompted the 40-day armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in

2016, in which protesters demonstrated against federal land ownership.

In its pardon, the White House said there were uncertainties in the Hammonds' case.

"The evidence at trial regarding the Hammonds' responsibility for the fire was conflicting,

and the jury acquitted them on most of the charges," the White House said.

The Times attributes the Hammonds' private ride home with Lucas to an abundance of lobbying

that took place to secure the ranchers' pardon.

Lucas reportedly donated $50,000 to Pence and his wife while Pence was running for governor

of Indiana.

According to the Times, Lucas also gave Pence two tickets worth $774 to attend an Indianapolis

Colts game in 2017.

Lucas, whose company also owns the naming rights to the Colts' Lucas Oil Stadium,

has lobbied extensively against animal-rights activists.

The Times reported that Lucas used Protect the Harvest to lobby for the Hammonds' release.

The paper also noted that Lucas had contacted Oregon's congressional delegation in his

effort to release the Hammonds, getting help from the state's only Republican lawmaker,

Greg Walden.

Just two weeks ago, Walden had gave a speech on the House floor calling for the Hammonds'

release.

Walden also wrote on Facebook on July 1 that Trump had called him to tell him he was "seriously

considering" pardoning the Oregon ranchers."

In the pardon, President Trump outlined the fact that there were uncertainties in the

Hammond case which led to questions as to the Hammond's responsibility in the case.

A case which the jury actually acquitted them on most charges brought up by the federal

government.

But on Wednesday they traveled free back to Oregon on the private jet of the Lucas Oil

Company.

Lucas reportedly donated $50,000 to Pence and his wife while Pence was running for governor

of Indiana, and according to the Times, Lucas also gave Pence two tickets worth $774 to

attend an Indianapolis Colts game in 2017.

Lucas also owns the naming rights to the naming rights to the Colt's Stadium and the company

lobbied extensively for the Hammond Pardon.

Here is more on this case via Reuters:

"The 41-day standoff, which began after the ranchers were imprisoned for a second

time for setting a fire that spread to public land, stirred the long-simmering dispute over

federal land policies in the U.S. West.

It turned deadly when police shot one of the occupiers.

A crowd of supporters cheered as Dwight Hammond, 76, and his son, Steven, 49, arrived at Burns

Municipal Airport in southeastern Oregon.

Local officials including a Republican congressman had urged Trump to pardon them.

U.S. Representative Greg Walden, who had sought the pardon, called their release "an acknowledgement

of our unique way of life in the high desert, rural West" in a statement on Tuesday.

He declined further comment Wednesday.

Harney County Sheriff David Ward, who also petitioned the government to pardon the Hammonds

soon after Trump's election, also welcomed the decision.

"There's no way we can thank everybody enough," Dwight Hammond told reporters at

the airport as he stood alongside his wife, Susan.

The Hammonds were convicted in 2012.

They said they were using standard land-management techniques, but federal prosecutors said that

in at least one instance they were trying to hide evidence of their killing a herd of

deer.

They were initially sentenced to less than the legal minimum five years in prison by

a judge who called that minimum harsh.

After prosecutors appealed, a different judge in 2015 ordered the men back to prison for

the full five years, sparking protests and the occupation of the nearby Malheur National

Wildlife Refuge.

Dwight Hammond served about three years in prison and Steven served four, according to

the White House.

They were released from a federal prison in California on Tuesday after Trump's pardon."

So great to see these people finally free after the justice-less days of the Barack

Hussein Obama Administration where patriots were attacked on a daily basis while statists

were let to break any law they wanted without any repercussion whatsoever.

Why Trump won't cancel the Putin summit - Duration: 13:41.

President Donald Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin has all the makings of a political disaster

Millions of Americans believe Putin has some sinister influence over Trump. The Justice Department just indicted a dozen Russian military hackers for meddling in the 2016 election

Commentators and congressmen are demanding that Trump cancel Monday's sit-down. And yet the howls of outrage seem to have made Trump only dig in deeper

To some of the president's allies, the politics of seeing Putin could actually be a positive, at least within Trump's hard-core base, which polls show has been warming up to the Russian leader and which largely writes off questions about Trump's Russia ties as fake news

That attitude was on clear display Saturday on Fox News, when Trump's top media ally, Sean Hannity — who flew to Helsinki on his private jet last week — made the on-air case for why Trump's critics are mistaken to believe the canny former KGB man will play Trump for a mark

"Everyone in the media, they're getting it all wrong," Hannity explained. "He is going to be blunt, brutally honest, just like he was at NATO this week

" Hannity cited Trump's June meeting with Kim Jong Un, which he said "critic after critic" had denounced in advance, but which Hannity cast as a success that prompted a halt in North Korea's missile tests

And as for that damning Friday indictment from special counsel Robert Mueller? "The timing to me was dubious," Hannity said, suggesting that the truly outrageous meddling was that of the Justice Department in Trump's diplomacy

Trump also cast the media as the enemy in Sunday tweets as he departed for Helsinki, complaining that no matter how many concessions he might get from Putin — including being "given the great city of Moscow" — he would never win due credit

"Much of the news media is indeed the enemy of the people," he wrote. (It is unclear whether Trump understood that he was echoing a favorite expression of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin

) There's good reason to think Trump's base is buying it. Mueller's poll numbers have plunged among Republicans in recent months

Meanwhile, in an extraordinary development, Putin's GOP popularity has risen over the past two years since Trump began recasting the Russian leader as a potential U

S. ally who somehow keeps getting wrongly accused of nefarious acts. Republican voters, after all, revile North Korean leader Kim Jong Un

But Trump managed to spin his taboo Singapore summit with the dictator into an epic spectacle, one that nuclear experts called a farce but left GOP partisans talking Nobel Prize

That Trump seemed to defy a near-unanimous media consensus only added to the satisfaction

"What his base looks at is a guy who is putting America's interest first," said Trump's former chief White House strategist, Steve Bannon

Bannon said that hard-core Republicans are receptive to Trump's message that Russia can be a U

S. partner, citing the pragmatic alliance between Washington and Moscow against Nazi Germany

"The base has so many veterans in it," Bannon said. "They do realize we would have never won World War II without the Russians as allies

This is basic. The Russians are the ones that really broke the back of the German army

" Trump-Putin summit mystery: What about Snowden? Bannon, who himself has been a sharp critic of Putin in the past, added: "We don't need more enemies

We have enough issues in the world with things like Iran and China and Korea." Some Trump allies also believe that the cost of several more days of wall-to-wall speculation about whether Trump is somehow under Putin's malign influence will be at least partly balanced by images of the president on the global stage, talking nuclear arms and the Middle East with a top world leader

That's a look for which every past president has been eager. Another former White House official, Andrew Surabian, compared Monday's tete-a-tete to President Ronald Reagan's historic meetings with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev

Those two men also sat down together without notetakers or other senior officials in the room, just as Trump and Putin will, to the particular dismay of many Democrats and foreign policy experts who insist Trump will get played

Conservatives, Surabian said, "are much more open to the idea of dialogue with bad actors than they might have been a decade ago

Unlike with [former President Barack] Obama, no conservative looks at Trump and sees weakness or worries that he's going to be apologizing for America

When they see Trump, just as they did with Reagan before him, they see strength, which in the long run gives the president more latitude with the base to negotiate with adversaries

" Meanwhile Putin himself is growing more popular among conservatives. About 25 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they held a favorable view of the Russian leader, compared to just 9 percent of Democrats, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center

That's not exactly a GOP love affair with the Russian, but it's more than double Putin's standing from 2015

Other recent polling has shown Putin's favorability even higher among Republicans

But even if Trump's base applauds his defiant diplomacy, it still brings major risks

With his approval rating anchored around 42 percent, according to recent polls, Trump has failed to capitalize on his support in a way that could ensure his reelection

A large chunk of the electorate interprets his flattery of Putin as evidence that he is beholden to the Russian and willing to put U

S. interests at risk. That's particularly true in the wake of a Mueller indictment that described in clinical detail how a group of Russian military intelligence officers spent months infiltrating and stealing data from the Democratic Party and even state election computer servers in 2016

"The indictments put tremendous pressure on the meeting," said Tom Donilon, a national security adviser to Obama

"The White House should be preparing the actions that the U.S. is going to take against the Russian government for the actions set forth in the indictments and not having the president sit down with Putin only to hear the same old false denials

" U.S. ambassador: Trump-Putin meeting 'isn't a summit' Donilon added: "If the president has the meeting and continues to give Putin a pass, he will have pitted himself against the entirety of the U

S. intelligence and law enforcement services." It's not clear whether Trump's base takes seriously anything Mueller produces

On Saturday, Hannity scoffed that the timing of the indictment was "just to get the name Russia in the [media] mix" before the Putin summit, and noted for good measure that the hacking had occurred on Obama's watch

Trump himself has shown little concern about the latest revelations, maintaining his bullish tone about dealing with Putin

"I think we could probably get along very well," he told British television host Piers Morgan aboard Air Force One on Friday

"Somebody said, 'Are you friends or enemies?' I said, 'Well, it's too early to say but right now,'" Trump said, adding: "[T]o get along with Russia and China and all of these other places

that's a good thing, not a bad thing. That's a really good thing." Experts remained confused about what Trump's goal is when he says he wants to start a dialogue and "get along" with Putin

"It's never been too clear what that means," said Stephen Sestanovich, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations

"Does he mean just ignoring differences? Does he mean resolving or overcoming them in a way that's advantageous for the U

S., or that's advantageous to Russia?" Hannity, for his part, is untroubled by such questions

The occasion of the summit itself, he said, is "a real win," and a chance for "adult conversation and open dialogue

" "There's no downside here," he declared, before abruptly changing the subject to Hillary Clinton's emails

✅ Nunes: Mueller indictment 'would look ridiculous' if Trump had taken this one step - Duration: 3:45.

Chuck Ross, DCNF House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said Sunday that the special counsel's indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers "would look ridiculous" had President Donald Trump declassified portions of a congressional report that laid out Russian efforts to steal and disseminate Democrats' emails

That's because, according to Nunes, an Intelligence Committee report released to the public on April 27 contained "almost everything" laid out in Mueller's indictment, which was handed down Friday

The indictment accuses military intelligence officers with Russia's GRU of hacking into the DNC and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton campaign's computer networks and releasing stolen documents through the fake online personas, Guccifer 2

0 and DCLeaks. Nunes said in an interview on "Fox Sunday Futures" that much of the information was included in Chapter 2 of the House Intelligence Committee's report, but it was heavily redacted in response to requests from the Department of Justice and intelligence community

Nunes, an ally of Trump's, suggested that Trump missed an opportunity by failing to declassify the Intelligence Committee report, which was written by Republicans without support from committee Democrats

"If the President of the United States had declassified this … the Mueller indictment would look ridiculous today if this was unredacted and declassified," Nunes said Sunday

Nunes' call for declassification mark a subtle shift in the Republican's public stance on the Russia investigation. He only recently started calling on Trump to declassify documents related to the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government

The comments suggest that Nunes believes that the only way that the public will see some of the information about the Justice Department and FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign is if Trump orders the documents be declassified

Nunes said that the committee's investigators have had information on the Russian spies for over a year. The committee began investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign back in January 2017

Committee Republicans ended their investigation on March 12, saying that they found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government

Nunes said that if the information in the Intelligence Committee's report had been declassified, "the American people would have known we basically wrote the indictment for Mueller

" "The House Republicans without the support of Democrats, wrote the indictment for the Mueller special counsel, essentially," added Nunes

The Intelligence Committee obtained information about the Russian hacking effort, though not the names of the 12 GRU officials who directed the campaign

The Intelligence Committee report devotes 16 pages to Russia's cyber efforts. Several pages are completely blacked out due to redactions

Parts of the analysis that are viewable refer to Guccifer 2.0, DCLeaks and Wikileaks. The Intelligence Committee report asserts that "Wikileaks played a key role in Russia's malign influence campaign and served as a third party intermediary for Russian intelligence during the period leading up to the 2016 U

S. presidential election." Mueller's indictment does not refer to Wikileaks by name, referring to the group only as "Organization 1

Donald & Melania Trump Snubbed By Prince William & Kate Middleton: Royal Insider Explains Why - Dail - Duration: 4:08.

Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly didn't have the desire to meet with President Donald Trump and Melania during their four day visit to London and they expressed their lack of interest to other royal family members in discussions regarding the visit in the days prior

It looks like Prince William, 36, his wife Kate Middleton, 36, and his dad Prince Charles, 69, aren't huge fans of President Donald Trump, 72

The three royal family members reportedly made the decision to not meet with America's Commander-in-Chief or First Lady Melania Trump, 48, during their four day visit to London this past week leaving Queen Elizabeth, 92, to meet with him at Windsor Castle alone

Since the visit was not a state visit, the Queen was allowed to meet them without other members of her family, including Prince Philip, 97

However, it's still unusual that an American president would only meet the queen and not any other member of the royal family

"This business of Prince Charles and Prince William not being there for the Trump visit was a snub," a source told Daily Mail

"It's a very, very unusual thing for the Queen to be there on her own. Usually she is accompanied by somebody

" Although no reason was officially given for Prince William and Prince Charles' snub, the two royals don't seem to have high opinions of Donald, according to a royal insider

"Neither Charles or William wanted to spend any time with Donald Trump, both of them loathe the man," the insider EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife

"Charles thinks he is an absolute buffoon, and believes his views on the environment and climate change to be both dangerous and immoral

William is disgusted by comments Trump has made in the past about his late mother, and made it clear that he had no desire to even be in the same room as him, let alone shake his hand or speak to him

So basically, the Queen was left to meet Trump on her own, as Prince Phillip has retired from public duty now

" With such strong disapproval, we can see why the two royal gentlemen didn't want to be present for Donald and Melania's visit and whether intentional or not, the two royals also had other engagements during Donald's visit

Prince William was taking part in a charity polo match while Prince Charles was attending a meeting for his company AG Carrick

Prince Harry, 33, was said to have had private engagements. Donald's pleasantries with the Queen seemed to go well but he did make headlines for not following protocol on many things

He kept Queen Elizabeth waiting around 15 minutes to meet with him and he didn't bow in her presence

He also turned his back to her and walked ahead of her, which you are absolutely not supposed to do

In addition to that, there are also reports that Queen Elizabeth didn't spend nearly as much time with the Trumps as she did with then President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama back in 2016

She had tea with Donald and Melania but had lunch with Barack and Michelle. Barack and Michelle also had a private dinner with Prince William and Kate at Kensington Palace

When talking about Donald and Melania's visit to London, a Buckingham Palace source told the outlet that it was planned unlike other kinds of visits with other leaders of different countries

"There was never any approach by the government or others, formally or informally, to Clarence House, Kensington Palace or the Duke of York's office," the source explained

Another source said it "was always going to be just the Queen."

Russian agents' indictment raises stakes ahead of Trump-Putin summit - Duration: 7:02.

Russian agents indictment raises stakes ahead of Trump Putin summit the federal

indictment on Friday of 12 Russian intelligence agents accused of hacking

democratic and state election computers in 2016 moves the topic of Russian

meddling in the presidential election higher on the agenda for the two nations

ahead of President Donald Trump summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir

Putin in Helsinki president Trump said he would address the issue though it's

unclear how much he will prioritize it compared with other matters such as

seeking mr. Putin's help in Syria and other hotspots last week before special

counsel Robert Mueller's indictment was released the president dismissed the

Russia probe ezza ringed witch-hunt he later said he anticipated the encounter

with Russian President Vladimir Putin would be the easiest of a series of

overseas meetings this past week with European allies and NATO officials at a

news conference Thursday he told reporters that when he meets with mr.

Putin he would ask your favorite question about meddling going on to say

that he may deny it what to know about a highly anticipated

meeting between u.s President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir

Putin in Helsinki Finland it's one of those things

he continued all I can say is did you and dude do it again all I can do is say

it but the indictment could give mr. Trump fodder to challenge mr. Putin's

denials of rushing attempts to influence the election a dozen Russian

intelligence officials are named and the legal document and charged with hacking

into the Democratic National Committee and Democratic presidential nominee

Hillary Clinton's campaign beginning in March 2016 the Russian agents obtained

of Democratic campaign and party officials the indictment said scheduled

for Monday and what would you do if you were the president I states now armed

with this information should you get right in the Russian leaders face about

this how does it progress what happens Michel waltz is a former a green beret

commander former senior counterterrorism adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney

commander very good to have you thanks for coming in on it

hey thanks so much Neil um what would you do

I mean I'm now armed with this new information on a number of Russian

operatives we've even pinned it down to the names there are 12 of them I'm not

gonna bother pronouncing their names because they're all consonants but

having said that we now have more proof that they were very much involved in our

2016 election not changing the outcome that's what authorities and says but

that we should raise this so that's what a lot of folks are saying with Vladimir

Putin directly what do you think well the president has said he's going to

raise it and now he has a lot of detail with which to raise it and I think he

should and I think he will but you know Neil I was just reading Brett bears book

three days in Moscow about the relationship between Reagan and

Gorbachev and I think President Trump like Reagan knows that these

relationships between heads of state matter and that they should continue

particularly with the two world's two largest nuclear arsenals they should

continue what even when relationships are at a real low and when we have

difficult moments I was also thinking back you know in 1986 the United States

was providing Afghan freedom fighters with Stinger missiles that were

literally blowing Russian planes and helicopters out of the sky yet Reagan

and Gorbachev sat down in Reykjavik and then a year later in Washington and

signed the INF treaty and moved the overall strategic relationship forward I

think that's what President Trump sees and knows that that's what he has to do

so commander when you hear all these critics who say the president shouldn't

even bother meeting with the Russians now your point is he'd miss a golden

opportunity to address much broader issues I take it right well I think well

it's it's not only an opportunity to address the broader relationship whether

it's non-proliferation whether it's our nuclear arsenals whether it's the the

intractable situation in Syria that has to come to some type of resolution with

with the Russians involved to North Korea and ensuring that they have a good

dialogue there and then ensuring that we keep our foot on the North Korean

economy's neck with sanctions that also involve the Russians so there's many

things that the United States has to go over with Russia the the relationship

between the heads of state Matt we've seen that throughout our history

and I think President Trump knows that he needs to move this all forward but

that he's also now armed with details and facts to say listen you are not

going to mess in our with our democracy you we know what you did we know what

your operatives are doing and present that with them and and put them on

notice you know in the past he has accepted Latimer Putin at his word I

think in two other prior meetings when this issue has come up

Blatter and Putin said no it had nothing to do with I don't know what they're

talking about and the president has accepted that at face value I'm now

armed with a little bit more intelligence and data and now this

latest report out of Muller's office he can't do that now I don't think he can

do that now but your thoughts well that's right but I mean you know at the

end of the day there's there's only so much that we can do I think later on we

can start talking about any type of retribution to do that again commander I

mean what if he were to say I don't know what they're talking about yeah well you

know I think again you know we have to keep the broader relationship in

perspective but then at a future date we can also look at what is our policy for

any type of retribution what is our policy for deterrence and what is our

policy for defense and communicate that in no uncertain terms I mean this just

dropped Friday and they have a lot to go over on Monday if I could take just a

second Neil also you know the president's been criticized heavily for

his approach to NATO I was on the ground in Afghanistan you know as NATO soldiers

were coming over under-equipped under man I was with secretary Gates and Vice

President Cheney when our NATO allies made promise after promise for the

contributions that they were going to make and then they didn't live up to

them and I think it's perfectly fine and acceptable and I think every veteran out

there who fought overseas realizes he needs to put a finger in our allies

chest and they need to step up to the plate and to address these threats

shoulder to shoulder with us all right they are putting up a little bit more

cash than they had in the past so we'll see how that goes I think it's being

effective yeah I've been in meeting after meeting with promise after promise

made and this president is making her allies step up to the plate and I think

that's perfectly appropriate all right commander thank you very much but more

for your service to this incredible country

I know you very modest about it I would not be if I were you but you are so god

bless and Michael Wallace inform agree rotator chef thanks to Mike come on

thank you my friend you

Trump describes EU as foe on trade alongside China and Russia - Duration: 1:36.

U.S. President Donald Trump has renewed his criticism of America's European allies, describing

the EU as a foe alongside China and Russia.

For more on this and other news around the world we turn to our Ro Aram…

Aram….

what exactly did President Trump have to say?

Well Mark…

In an interview with CBS, which aired on Sunday, Trump likened the European Union to China

and Russia as America's economic adversaries.

But he stressed that he didn't mean the EU was bad, just that they were competitive.

"……..I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade.

Now, you wouldn't think of the European Union but they're a foe.

Russia is a foe in certain respects.

China is a foe economically, certainly, they're a foe, but that doesn't mean they're bad.

It doesn't mean anything, it means that they're competitors.

They want to do well and we want to do well……."

He pointed out the EU had been "taking advantage" of the U.S. in terms of trade and again accused

NATO allies of not paying their fair share for defense.

EU Council President Donald Tusk tweeted a response using one of President Trump's famous

phrases.

He wrote, "America and the EU are best friends, whoever says we are foes is spreading fake

news."

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Theresa May said President Trump told her to sue the

EU as part of her Brexit strategy.

However, she said that was not going to happen and that negotiations will continue with the

British public's best interests in mind.
