yes that's right that's right i mean we also heard i should say from the french foreign minister and his message was very similar to the one that we've heard from the french president over the last few days in the message is really that france felt that it simply had no choice that this use of chemical weapons that france says it has proof about was a red line that had been crossed and the france had said in the past it would retaliate the french president has made it clear that it would retaliate if chemical weapons were used in syria he says he has proof that chemical weapons were used and therefore france just simply felt that it had no choice or had to retaliate because this was the words used by the french foreign minister several times where it's simply not acceptable that there's been an escalation of the use of chemical weapons by the syrian regime he said over the past seven years and this is not acceptable and it is an international law and rights i should say had been violated and flouted and the regime should not be allowed to get away with it given that there was this se

trump and the french president. go ahead and continue that thought. >> yes, well, both of them were elected on their first attempts. macron had no previous electoral experience. trump, of course, did not. so they're both outsiders. in a very interesting way, they are both products of the same phenomenon, which is a kind of a populist rejection of the status quo and of traditional parties and their respective countries. now, in the u.s., that rejection gave us president trump, who's politically very different from president macron. in france, you had this rejection of the traditional parties, which gave the leadership to a young man who had never run for office before. then briefly finance minister. he was trained. he has a degree in philosophy. he's got a degree in public administration, his first job as an investment banker. so they're both outsiders from the private sector. macron stressed this in our interview. they both try very hard to carry out the campaign promises that they were elected on. of course, the pr
