CHUCK TODD: Let me start with sort-of a 30,000-foot look at the world right now. India and Pakistan are warning of a nuclear confrontation over Kashmir. Turkey is poised to choose Russia over NATO, which it joined almost 70 years ago, and Japan and South Korea are in a trade war and have terminated their intelligence-sharing pact. These are allies I’m speaking of here, do you feel as if the globe is more stable with President Trump as Commander-In-Chief now than it was three years ago?

REP. LIZ CHENEY: Oh, absolutely, there’s no question. When you look at the situation that President Trump inherited when he came into office, when you look at what we had seen happen, for example, across Iraq and Syria when President Obama withdrew precipitously based on a political timetable, we had the rise of the Caliphate, we had the rise of ISIS, President Trump’s decision-making and leadership changed that. One of the most important things this President has done is dedicate the resources necessary to begin rebuilding our Defense Department, rebuilding our military. Under Barack Obama you had eight years where our military did not get the resources it needed while our adversaries built…weapons systems that we cannot defend against. So there’s no question but that the world is safer, that we’re in a situation where American leadership has come back. It’s important that we continue down that path.
