unless i send for you. i think what s going to happen is when congresswoman gabbard comes from kamala harris that will not go well for her. everyone knows her history of homophobic comments. everyone knows she s an assad apologist. i don t anticipate that exchange going well for congresswoman gabbard. at the end of the day, i think what senator harris is going to do is remain above the fray, be presidential and only hit when swung at. i think that people actually are looking for a fighter, someone to take on donald trump and so you can t let hits go unnoticed, but she s not going to go swinging down by any stretch. congresswoman gabbard wants a moment, just senator harris is not the one to play with. is there any merit to the concern about her being prepared for foreign policy questions? because i think that was the heart of the criticism from congresswoman gabbard. well, i mean, sometimes it s not the question.
uc berkeley s campus. patriots owner robert kraft has been charged with soliciting prostitution. i m very thankful for the diligence and field investigation of the fbi and the coast guard investigative service. chairman kim is at the table because he is afraid of trump. took the stand and apologizing for pushing a photo of instagram of judge jackson. i don t think the president has any concerns of michael cohen. my keep your powder dry because do you not know what bob mueller has. bottom line is you can t just andy mccabe. she is not a terrorist. is a terrorist not a united states citizen. when i hear the name tulsi gabbard i think of assad apologist. a lot of people running but only one person is going to win. i hope you know who that person is. goodbye, everybody. bret: hard to believe one week. a lot jammed into that week. thanks for inviting us into
in syria, militarily, politically and economically, actually all the way back to the cold war. so they want to maintain their influence there. but what putin is really fighting for is for the right for assad to stay in power. the international community cannot force regime change in russia s estimation on assad. but the reality is this isn t going to be solved until we get rid of assad. if i could add to the conversation before i actually answer the question. yes. i think we have to get in in order to get out. i don t mean necessarily militarily. this strike was important because basically we were standing up to the principle that you do not use chemical weapons in warfare. that s illegal. and we want to strengthen the taboo so other countries don t follow russia. but the next thing we need to do, exactly as a congressman
and they therefore, seem to be thus far, willing to support a butcher like assad. that s bad geopolitics over time. we ve got to find a way to drive a wedge between syria and russia. that s going to be very challenging. admiral, you and i talked about this in the past. bun of the reasons i m standing here in front of a large map of the middle east to describe the degree to which syria can be a tinderbox for the world. we have said here about syria and a lot of fighting going on is about russian control over the american, we know we got tensions in turkey which is an ally. and saudi arabia if called upon will assist. egypt said absolutely not. iran has interests here that are contrary to those of israel.
it doesn t. the war will continue. the message is we re not going to lead on this. we don t want to own this. we want to prevent chemical weapons attacks. that s where our moral obligation ends and other than that, everybody go to the geneva process. and the syrian people are not comfortable with that. the syrian war will continue. assad understands that. the attack happens. now, the president tweeted mission accomplished. nobody believes that. what actually happens next because this syrian civil war continues by most accounts, bashar al assad has won this war with the backing of the russians and the iranians. so is that the new status quo that syria is a machine propped up by the russians. that s interesting. we ve been talking about the need to get assad out. the reality is, you can t get assad out unless the situation on the ground changes and
