i mean, bottom line is i think you have to be clear in communicating from the biden white house that they understand it s a decision ultimately rests with vladimir putin. that he s serious. they have made it abundantly clear in the last few days de-escalation is not a path they re pursuing. you don t have the pentagon spokesman using words like crescendo in a world where misunderstanding occur and talking about a really rough war. this messaging has been very clear from the biden white house. remember, too, though, that you can t talk about deterrence when president biden has ruled out on the front end any use of american force on the ground there. everyone understands that the ukrainian military is no match for the russian military, if putin is determined to come over the line he can do so, and then we re going to be in a completely different, not only european security situation, but international one as well. that s the point that is so
. we have seen talk of test. i think that they will be likel if they don t feel satisfied. i would like to remain an optimist we can keep moving forward with negotiations, but i think because the alternative is not a positive one. will 2020 bring any progress in talks to keep kim jong un from stopping developing nuclea weapons do you think? it could because despite the lack of progress in 2019 there still a lot of possible steps o the table. he needs to do something to sho he s serious he s going to give a big speech on new year s day he always does and we will know from that how serious he has. options include a priest treaty letting the international inspectors back into north korea . they re are plenty of things that can be done to keep this relationship moving forward. right now, we just don t know history is telling us that yes there s a possibility but from what i m seeing, they don t hav the size of missile and test ou there to really provide that
ability to fund-raise, his ability to stay in the debate. but whether or not mike bloomberg gets in, this was perhaps the most public rebuke of candidates than we ve seen. i have not worked with bloomberg, but those who have talk about an incredibly devoted guy. he has a lot of data about biden, he has a lot of data about gun control and climate issues. which, to his credit, he s been out ahead, on the leading edge of those debates. if you look at the fox news poll, they asked this question. if they entered the democratic race, would you definitely vote for them? michelle obama gets 50%, hillary clinton gets 27%, michael bloomberg gets 6%. our democratic voters who are clamoring for them, the answer is no. but he sees an opening, anyway. the truth is you ask the question, does he wait or does he get in? if he s serious, and i think we
strongly. juan: i think that s deplorable. i must say i ve been on the show encouraging that if the president is sincere, if he s serious, then offer ideas and go out there and take a look and see what you can do. tom: but they say don t come. juan: he s not been doing that. he s been using it as a political attack and i think it s more than a political attack. why not open their hearts, if you re a democrat or big-city leader and say mr. president, do you have ideas we haven t thought of? do you have funding that can you can bring to the table. to me the bigger story, the indication of how this is being politicized by the republicans, the bigger story today is the fact that we have more people who don t have health insurance in the country then in the last decade. that doesn t get the attention. it s not politically beneficial to trump. katie: speaking of politics, what if local officials were to invite the trump administration income it would be an admission that things are o
some reporting a person close to mitch mcconnell, he s serious to have bipartisan legislation to address gun violence. that there s a conference call on monday. but one thing that did not come up in that conference call was calling the senate back. and part of the reason was he didn t feel there was support from the president for the background check bill. how do you feel about that? well, that s good news. and i hope that the president does support that. and they do call the congress back. because that s what people in the united states want. that s what we hear. that politicians need to catch up with the people. do you think mitch mcconnell is hearing that message? i hope so. i hope so. i know we at moms demand action are working. we re trying to get that action to him. our leaders in kentucky are working on him and putting as much pressure as we can. are you feeling some progress? yes. i think we are. i mean, this is you know, when you see governor dewine and
