It is time for the United States to develop an Atlantic strategy. The U.S. has the means to do so what is required is political will. So what would this Atlantic strategy look like? What would it cost? On this episode Luke Coffey explains how President Biden can pick up where President Trump left off, and develop a plan that does not make the U.S. vulnerable in our backyard.
. it is. here s a crazy idea. president of the united states should talk to their fellow citizens like reasonable faults. it might be lost on a lot of folks. it may be easier to try to play the base politics, scare the hell out of everybody and try to find somebody, you re aggrieved. talking people eye to eye instead of talking down to them, might actually work. that s what joe biden need to do. and the administration needs to know they are facing a huge d disinformation amplification team. they need to put the going us on facts rather than fears. . there has been this idea to kind of ignore the crazy. not to feed into it. i think biden needs to call this out and said what you just heard on fox is insane. it makes no sense.
burst flavors and i think to congressman kinzinger s point, base politics are heading are sort of taking the republican party down this path of being all the things miles says it is, threat to the country, extreme, radical, and i think he s right. it s not just believing the lie. it s indifference to the truth that really endangers all of us. no, and i think just on the comment on adam kinzinger, look, political courage is vanishingly rare in american politics, particularly among republicans, so you know, kudos to adam kinzinger who continues to forcefully speak out. and he s absolutely right. i think there s been a very, very cynical calculation on the part of people like kevin mccarthy that, you know, it s a midterm election, the biden administration is struggling, his polls are down, we re going to sweep back into power. let s keep our heads down. if that means accepting the big lie, well, then, that s the price to get back into power and i think that s what republicans are tell

is this more about 2020 base politics than the process here? to be clear, the chances that justice kavanaugh s impeached, removed from the supreme court by impeachment are very, very small. the chances that this is an issue in the 2020 election i think are pretty large. underscores for these candidates the importance of the presidency in terms of shaping the supreme court. it energizes democrats, probably also republicans, though, who say that justice kavanaugh s getting a raw deal here. you say this is a fight that the president relishes. i think that s pretty clear from his tweet this is morning. he even goes so far to say that kavanaugh s the one being assaulted. that s right. we have seen the president and the entire me too moment really come to defend the men who are being accused of misconduct and say that the movement has gone too far and that actually the men are the victims and he s tried to appeal to his base, this issue both touches on the
