she can initiate the proper sedings if she wants to. it chips away at her own credibility when she does that and doesn t follow up. i look at this and i m like where is the dignity in all this? the president of the united states calling the third in line to the presidency names, the minority leader of the senate. she in return is shooting backfire. there should be a lot more dignity in our public life. it is very frustrating to me to talk to students and this is what we see at the top. impeachment is not a good option for democrats. sandra: listening right now might want to say it started out with nancy pelosi accusing the president of a crime. absolutely. i called her out as well. she is third in line to the presidency, the speaker of the house. we need to restore dignity in public life. how do you expect young, good, smart people to want to go into public life if this is the interaction they re having? bill: peter king had a phrase for it an hour ago. did you hear that? watch
we ll save a lot. we don t care. we ll save a lot, we don t care. so for the average american who doesn t follow this closely and who believes, as has been misreported the amount of the budget that goes to foreign aid, which i believe is somewhere less than 1%, not a third as there have been reports that high. that s right. it s about 1%. it s about 1%. nevertheless, in real dollars for most people, that s a lot of money. but to what end, these threats? here s the problem. when the president of the united states, you know, from the oval office decides that he wants to threaten the rest of the world and then doesn t follow up, i m hard pressed to think the united states doesn t want to cut aid to afghanistan or iraq where we have troops in both places, or egypt, then we look hollow and we don t look credible. it gets to american leadership. if you think about our really great leaders, fdr, eyisenhowee
