the other half from nato. is president trump behind that idea, and is he going to go to bat for it at this meeting? >> the talk will be, i think, very heavily weighted toward counterterrorism. the president made this a centerpiece of his campaign. he talked about how he was going to keep america safe. now, he has an opportunity to go face-to-face with these other world leaders, again, with whom he has no previous relationship, and say, anti-up. the time has come for nato to do its part. though people like john mccain would argue nato has been doing plenty in counterterrorist efforts. >> it comes from ignorance that he doesn't know what the member countries and nato as a whole is doing in terms of counterterrorism. there is the russia issue. the president probably didn't even mention russian hacking of the election in his lovely meeting with ambassador kislyak and sergey lavrov. this is unbelievable to a lot of people. in his first meeting with these guys, he doesn't even try to raise the notion, you know, real

so i'm not a fan of nato. i don't think that this kind of a military alliance is what keeps us safe. i don't think it's what keeps europe safe. nato was created for this idea to keep the americans in, the germans down, and the soviets out. the soviets are out. the americans are -- sorry, chris -- all in. and the germans are right there. so the notion that attacking nato rhetorically, because let's be clear. nothing else happened other than the rhetorical attacks. >> right. >> this doesn't mean a change in the reliance on military strength as supposedly what keeps us safe. it simply doesn't turn militaryism into diplomacy. it doesn't start to privilege diplomacy instead of war in afghanistan or somewhere else. >> at the same time there's also the degree to which he's either -- the point of contention is they need to spend more money on their defense. >> right. but that's assuming that more money is going to keep people more safe, which makes more expensive wars. >> it's somewhat ironic to me that the bipartisan
