saudi arabia and the gulf arabs.h they are unhappy with what s happened in yemen with the fact that the houthis haven t all committed suicide yet. they would like to see iran driven out of iraq and syria. the only hope they have of any of that happening is by dragging us in to do it for them. tucker: i mean, that doesn t seem remotely in our interest, our national interest at all. why wouldn t we fight that idea why wouldn t we fight that with every ounce of strength we have? well, the problem is that the team of one, once again,ha is surrounded by these globalists interventionists with ties in many cases to the gulf arabs, to saudi arabia and israel. so they are going to they are going to do whatever they can to advocate for conflict.ca that s the problem. the team of one sits there and says wait a minute, why? we have been through this process in the past. there is no evidence that iran had anything to do with the attacks on the tankers, far from it. anybody that knows irania
and that usually prompts bad behavior. there s a couple other warning sieps. you saw with those trump voters, people started to get more weary of him and what will that mean for republicans in congress. and one thing that wasn t noted in that story that i think is going to be another fight with republicans in congress is daca and whether or not he resends daca. we thought that was going to happen this week and now it seems that the white house might be easing off of that because you don t want to be rescinding protection for dreamers who are in it k and flooded out. and a lot of republicans in the house are starting to get nervous about this too. i think he s got a really tough fall ahead. how do you michael, i guess the question is how much do you work now in trying to repair this with him and how much are republicans in congress and frankly if you look at a mattis or tillerson is it now everybody is worried about their own reputations first? i think the latter is the case. i th
he s concerned with protecting the american people. that s the bottom line here. he s going to take whatever step he it k can to move that agenda forward. this could be a loss for him in it and this administration with this extreme vetting or travel ban going from travel ban to extreme vetting back to travel ban on twitter and extreme caps. i don t think he thinks any step he takes towards moving the ball forward in protecting the american people. it s ever going to be a mistake. where s sean spicer? he s here today. why didn t he come out? this is part of my job as well. did you ask the oh deputy press secretaries? is he in a new position now? he is taking on a little bit of extra duty at this point. i think it s probably upgraded at this point given we don t have a communications director.
it k but keep in mind, we didn t focus on barack obama in 2010. we focused on nancy pelosi. and the idea was, you know, creating because she was most representative of the government. she was the speaker of the house. she had control of the congress, and the democrats had control of the senate. so you re absolutely right about making that ideological argument. but you have to anchor it to something. the question for the progressives right now is what is this anchored to? are you mad at trump? okay. about what? and how do you then galvanize independent voters and some potentially like-minded republicans to cross that aisle and come over to your side to make the case next november? so all of the shouting and screaming right now has to mean something on the back end, and that s going to be the challenge for chairman perez and the democratic party is to galvanize it in a way that you can get that crossover appeal as we saw in 2010. michael, did you vote for
world war. it makes me wonder in a political context whether lindsey graham is about to have some company now when he says we need to commit ground troops. are you prepared to make it k to make that kind of statement? i ve been saying that for a long time. you can t exclude the possibility of ground troops. i ve also said it can t just be american ground troops. the president has to start putting the priority of protecting americans, not the image of islam. and just yesterday, he s on television saying that we contained isis. well, clearly we haven t. these dogs are unleashed. the only thing that we re going to ever do to stop them is to take aggressive action. i m calling on the president to the do four things. number one, we need to close our borders. if a left wing politically correct country like france will close its borders, it s time for us to put a moratorium on people coming here from countries where there are isis or al qaeda ties.
