the past. all these negotiations with the taliban, i met with president ghani once during this period of time, he was not engaged. he was not informed. it s only at the end, if you negotiate with one side of the parties and you leave the other side out, what does it tell the taliban? we want to make a deal with you and don t care what the afghan government does. at the end of the day that s not how you create peace and security. gun control is a priority for you, you re pushing a bill called keep america safe act, a bill to limit magazine size to no more than ten rounds, a magazine i ve never seen in war zones, are there enough republican senators, this will live or die by mitch mcconnell s decision and the president, do you have republican support for a measure like that? i think so. look, you saw roy blount this weekend say the president needs to define what he s willing to support. i don t believe this is the way the congress acts. the way the founders created the
