path for that. and you are right to know, poppy, that has not stopped amy klobuchar, as you just interviewed pete buttigieg, or the biden campaign, who calls it mystifying that she s now caving to the pressure and hasn t released this information prior to feeling all of this pressure. all right, david. we have a battle now, very much in public between hillary clinton, the former secretary of state, of course, former presidential candidate and tulsi gabbard, clinton making an unfounded comment that gabbard s a russian asset here. and now gabbard tweeting back. it s now clear this primary is between you and me. i m clearly relishing attention. is this a sideshow or is there something substantiative to this and does this give new life to gabbard s campaign? well, if there s something truly substantiative, hillary clinton didn t offer that up in this podcast interview that she did with the former obama campaign manager and adviser, david plouffe. she just sort of the former secretary
passing through the house because donald trump has this megaphone and he does all these controversial things and super corrupt and that s all the media cares about. democrats on the other hand have this sort of break glass in case of emergency option. in they re worried about trump controlling the narrative, they can begin an impeachment process to take it away from him, but also because it s the right thing to do. i mean, i kind of find it mystifying to hear howard dean say that he thinks that nancy pelosi is not anti-impeachment because she s i mean, i ve covered her for a long time. what she s doing with impeachment is sort of how she talks about an issue when she s whipping against it. it s not the way she talks about an issue when she s trying to let her members get in front of the issue first. she s saying mutually contradictory things about what impeachment means and when she should do it. she says she shouldn t do it for political reasons but we shouldn t do it for not politi
i think it was in the washington post today, filled with democrats campaigning about how they can t get the public to care about the agenda they re passing through the house because donald trump has this megaphone and he does all these controversial things and super corrupt and that s all the media cares about. democrats on the other hand have this sort of break glass in case of emergency option. in they re worried about trump controlling the narrative, they can begin an impeachment process to take it away from him, but also because it s the right thing to do. i mean, i kind of find it mystifying to hear howard dean say that he thinks that nancy pelosi is not anti-impeachment because she s i mean, i ve covered her for a long time. what she s doing with impeachment is sort of how she talks about an issue when she s whipping against it. it s not the way she talks about an issue when she s trying to let her members get in front of the issue first. she s saying mutually contradictory t
whom you have a trade deficit? the answer is we re not always there just for them. we re there for us. that s been the concept of forward deployment involved in american strategy since the end of world war ii. and so he does this sort of straight on equation as if the only reason that we have troops in asia or the only reason we have troops in europe or in the middle east is to protect them. instead of being our early warning system. instead of keeping the peace along the way. instead of keeping those areas open for trade. and this is a bit mystifying. you would have thought over two years that over time, general mattis and others would have begun to sort of change his view or explain at least how the system works. what s clear from this is he believes mattis never came around to his view. right. if they don t change, you re on your way out. i have to ask you, tony blinken, because folks will often ask me
this white house, right? if you think about what happened with the service members lost on the uss john s. mccain. you did not hear the president talk about that. he talked about it eventually but it was pretty late and muted. if we blamed him for the loss of life, he would then talk about it, maybe? as i said earlier, it s all reactive. this just has not been a high priority of his. we have seen him repeatedly enjoy the role of comforter and chief when it involved traveling to a location like a hurricane or the horrific shootings in las vegas. he s not doing that here. it s a bit mystifying. maggie, always good to talk to you.
