>>> DONALD TRUMP INHERITING A
>>> DONALD TRUMP INHERITING A
GROWING ECONOMY AND A MORE
PEACEFUL WORK.
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE HE
INHERITED, HE BANKRUPTED IT.
WHEN THIS PRESIDENT GOES
OVERSEAS, IT ISN’T A GOOD WILL
MYTH.
IT’S A BLOOPER REEL.
HE BREAKS UP WITH OUR ALLIES AND
WRITES LOVE LETTERS TO
DICTATORS.
AMERICA DESERVES A PRESIDENT WHO
IS LOOKED UP TO, NOT LAUGHED AT.
DOWNTOWN DID PRETENDS RUSSIA
DIDN’T ATTACK OUR ELECTIONS AND
NOW HE DOES NOTHING ABOUT RUSSIA
PUTTING ATROOPS.
SO HE WON’T DEFEND OUR COUNTRY,
HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO DEFEND
OUR TROOPS.
THE ONLY PERSON HE’S INTERESTED
IN DEFENDING IS HIMSELF.
THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
OUR INTERESTS, OUR IDEALS AND
OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN IN
UNIFORM CAN’T AFFORD FOUR MORE
YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP.
>> JOHN KERRY ON TUESDAY NIGHT
AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION WITH HIS REVIEW OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CONDUCT ON THE
WORLD STAGE.
AND THE FORMER SECRETARY OF
STATE JOINS US NOW.
SECRETARY KERRY, GREAT TO HAVE
YOU ON.
AND I WANT TO ASK YOU MORE ABOUT
THOSE COMMENTS WE JUST HEARD.
BUT FIRST, CAN YOU COMMENT ON
THE NEWS THAT WE GOT OVER THE
PAST DAY THAT RUSSIAN OPPOSITION FIGURE NOVALNY IS IN A COMA
FIGURE NOVALNY IS IN A COMA
AFTER AN APPARENT POISONING?
>> WELL, THIS IS A PATTERN.
WE’VE SEEN RUSSIAN OPERATIVES
ATTEMPTING TO MURDER PEOPLE IN
OTHER COUNTRIES, IN ENGLAND, AND
IT’S FRIGHTENING BY ANY STANDARD
THAT OPPOSITIONISTS IN RUSSIA
APPARENTLY ARE SUBJECT TO BEING
ASSASSINATED OR ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE
WORLD.
I THINK IT UNDERSCORES THE
DEGREE TO WHICH PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S UNWILLINGNESS TO SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT RUSSIAN
ACTIVITIES FROM THE INTERFERENCE
IN OUR ELECTION TO THEIR
ACTIVITIES IN OTHER PARTS OF THE
WORLD IS HAVING A NEGATIVE
IMPACT ON STANDARDS AND
EXPECTATIONS.
DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN BREAKING
NORMS OF EVERY KIND BUT NOT
WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE.
AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS IS
TO CREATE THE WILD, WILD WEST
OUT THERE EVERYWHERE.
EAST, WEST, NORTH AND SOUTH.
>> SO NOW TO THE REMARKS THAT
YOU MADE LAST NIGHT IT’S
ACTUALLY RELATED ON MANY LEVELS
BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE IT
VERY CLEAR HE REALLY LIKES
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
HE ADMIRES HIM, WHICH MANY OF US
FIND VERY STRANGE.
WE REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND, YOU
KNOW, WHY THERE WASN’T A
TRANSLATOR OR NOTE-TAKER AT SOME
OF THESE MEETINGS.
THE WHOLE THING IS VERY
UNNERVING ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF
THE BIPARTISAN SENATE INTEL
REPORT THAT CAME OUT LAST WEEK.
BUT YOU TALK ABOUT HIS
APPEARANCES ON THE WORLD STAGE
REALLY BEING MORE LIKE A BLOOPER
REAL.
I REMEMBER THE VIDEO OF SEVERAL
WORLD LEADERS SORT OF IN A
CLUSTER LAUGHING AT HIM.
IS HE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE
WORLD, AND I SAY THAT IN ALL
SERIOUSNESS, AND WHY DOES THAT
MATTER?
>> WELL, IT MATTERS BECAUSE THE
CREDIBILITY OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA AND THE QUALITY OF
OUR LEADERSHIP HAS ALWAYS MADE A
DIFFERENT.
WE ASSUMED A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY
IN THE AFTERMATH OF WORLD WAR II
WHEN WE EXECUTED THE MARSHALL
PLAN.
WE DID SOMETHING UNPRECEDENTED.
WE STOOD UP AND HELPED GERMANY
AND JAPAN, BOTH OF WHOM
INITIATED THIS CONFLICT, AND WE
BROUGHT THEM BACK.
TODAY GERMANY AND JAPAN ARE
STRONGEST ALLIES.
THEY ARE STRONG DEMOCRACIES AND
WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE COURAGE OF
THAT LEADERSHIP MADE.
WE DON’T SEE THAT LEADERSHIP
TODAY.
WE DON’T SEE THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF A STRATEGY THAT THE WORLD
DESPERATELY NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT
TOGETHER TO DEAL WITH COUNTLESS
MAJOR CHALLENGES, MIKA.
YOU’RE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF
THEM.
CYBERWARFARE.
THERE’S NOR CYBERATTACKS AND
CYBERINTERFERENCE IN THIS WORLD
THAN EVER BEFORE.
WE BEGAN IN THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION TO ESTABLISH SOME
BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR THE RULES
OF THE ROAD FOR CYBER.
AND OUR INTENTION CLEARLY IS TO
HAVE THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION
CONTINUE THAT.
BUT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE
NOTHING ABOUT IT.
AND THEY’VE GIVEN FREE LICENSE
TO BAD ACTORS IN THE WORLD TO BE
ABLE TO BE DISRUPTIVE.
DONALD TRUMP WELCOMES
DISRUPTION.
THAT’S PART OF THE APPROACH.
AND IT’S A HALLMARK OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
CHAOS.
EVERY DAY THERE’S ANOTHER
ELEMENT OF THAT.
BUT THE WORLD DOESN’T WORK WELL
THAT WAY.
NOT WHEN YOU HAVE A PANDEMIC.
NOT WHEN YOU HAVE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS THAT ARE NOW BEING
ENLARGED IN THE ARSENALS OF
VARIOUS COUNTRIES.
NOT WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHALLENGE
OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS.
YOU CAN ONLY SOLVE THESE
PROBLEMS, AS I SAID AT THE
CONVENTION BY COMING TOGETHER AS
NATIONS AND WORKING IN THE WAYS
THAT ALL THE INSTITUTIONS WE
HELPED SET UP IN THE AFTERMATH
OF WORLD WAR II, THE WAY THEY
WERE INTENDED TO WORK.
THEY’RE NOT WORKING THAT WAY
TODAY.
AND ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL REASONS
FOR THAT IS THE WITHDRAWAL OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS
A FORCE FOR CONVENING, A FORCE
FOR PUTTING BIG IDEAS ON THE
TABLE AND FOR HELPING TO CAJOLE
AND JAWBONE AND BRING ABOUT THE
COOPERATION NECESSARY FOR A
WORLD TO WORK.
DONALD TRUMP JUST IS THE
ANTITHESIS OF THAT.
AND YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE
NORTH KOREA.
HIS LOVE LETTERS TO KIM JONG-UN
BELIE THE FACT THAT ONLY MONTHS
BEFORE THAT, HE WAS PROMISING
FIRE AND FURY FOR THE SITUATION
THAT EXISTED WITH THEIR NUCLEAR
WEAPONS.
THAT HASN’T CHANGED, MIKA.
HE’S BUILT MORE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
HIS ARSENAL IS BIGGER TODAY THAN
IT WAS.
IT’S A GREATER THREAT TO THE
UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD
TODAY THAN IT WAS.
AND THERE’S NO FUNDAMENTAL
ARRANGEMENT.
SORT OF AN UNEASY STANDOFF.
BUT THAT’S NOT THE REAL STUFF OF
DIPLOMACY.
AND SO I THINK THE WORLD NEEDS
TO RECOGNIZE WHAT PRESIDENT
OBAMA SAID LAST NIGHT.
NOT ONLY ARE WE WITNESSING THE
DIMINISHMENT OF THE AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP ROLE BUT WE’RE
WITNESSING A CHALLENGE TO OUR
