became galvanized by the message of bernie sanders. the fact that sanders lost didn t stop them random. in fact, many arguments and plea shifted toward new blood, including helping freshman congress member alexandria ocasio-cortez get elected. with ocasio-cortez represented the future, just as democrats are making it clear that centrist democrats are holding the party hostage and becoming obstacles in the fight for things like free college add medicare for all. so the goal is to counterpunch with willing liberals like newark mayor bill de blasio. watch. quite sick of democrats who are afraid to be democrats. who are afraid to be bold and progressive. step one on the bold and progressive agenda is to gather support for the upcoming ocasio-cortez green new deal resolution that her office calls a national social industrial and economic mobilization at a scale not seen since
ourselves with pakistan, who is all up. you referenced failed countries, there are failed countries all over the world. what are we going to do, invade them all? these are real lives, real soldiers coming back, missing limbs, soldiers deploying nine, ten times, special forces are deployed for 250 plus days a year. it s breaking american families. it s breaking the va. it s time to bring them home. ed: as you know, the stakes are very high. as daniel mentioned, all around the world, not just in afghanistan. the president tweeting some weeks ago that maybe he will bring home all u.s. troops from syria. there s pushback in congress, as you alluded to pay the let s talk a little bit about that. listen to this from republican lindsey graham and democrat adam schiff about the fight against isis. there s a plan being developed post-isis that allows us to stabilize series for the iranians don t take over. turkey and the kurds don t go to war. he will be mostly an international force. i wil
that i think the president s desire to bring the troops home is laudatory. but i also believe that one of the real lessons from 9/11 is that when they allow terrorists to enjoy ungoverned space and failed states which is what afghanistan and the border region with pakistan is, they w. while isis and al qaeda in the indian sub continent, i m concerned that if we don t retain some military and intelligence capability, that some of those threats might be visited on our shores. ed: jesse, in this interview with cbs news around the super bowl, the president also said look, i campaigned on the idea that we are tired of endless wars and i m following up. what say you? he s right. he s absently right. congress is exactly wrong. congress voted 68-23 last week to give our soldiers in afghanistan. that s an insane foreign policy. there is no need to spend 18 years in any country, let alone afghanistan, and try to ally
virginia republicans were trying to paint northam and other democrats as radical, who favor infanticide. the media has, is full of people who are extreme on the issue of abortion. they do not like the messy conversation. the abortion controversy, it turns out, is directly tied to the furor over the blackface and kkk photos on northam s page in the 1984 yearbook. staffers at big-league politics, the website that broke the story, told the washington post the tip came from med school classmates angry at at the governor s stae on late-term abortion. edd. ed: interesting. thank you, holly. in hours, the present will deliver his second state of the union address. we know that he s flirting with declaring a national emergency to build a sport while without congress. what else will his speech touch on? david spunt tells us what we can expect on the national security front. you will hear the state of the union and you will see what
