lot of meetings with him, and i think that this has reached the point of anger and aggrievement on putin s part that i i don t think he s thinking rationally anymore and that s what i find very disturb begun trying to predict or anticipate what s he going to do next, and i find it very disconcerting. because the price he s about to pay, the economic sanctions, the economic price, the political price and maybe the price in lives, casualties, if the russians move full scale into ukraine would be horrendous. i don t know what he s trying to do either, but we will see what he does. general clapper, thanks as usual for joining us. thanks, wolf. coming up, buckingham palace says queen elizabeth is experiencing mild symptoms after testing positive for covid. my eyes feel like a combo of stressed, dry and sandpaper. strypaper? luckilily, there s biotrue hydration boost eye drops.
your reaction? i don t think he s cognitively up to this job, senator , and it s dangerous. look, it s gaffe after gaffe after gaffe and the white house team desperately tries to keepn it away or is he in a cognitive decline? it seems to me i obvious, yeah. look, he s clearly in majors decline. i can tell you it s strange biden they don t allow him to talk too most republican senators. and when we have lunchke together, republican senators almost to a person none ofok us have spoken to him since he became president. that s weirdwore. joe biden swarmy h into office t ten years ago. we all knowhe him. he served in the senate for four decades, but the white house is terrified that anyone who interacts with them realizes he s not up tooal the task. so they keep him protected. they keep him on talking points, they give him a narrow script and even that he screws up and you know, you ve got this war in ukraine, joe biden caused this war in ukraine. how did he dot? it when he waivd
question a little while ago. i would give the same answer. there s a big difference between permanent protection for the dreamers, which is a program, by the way, doing great good, no problems with it at all until donald trump decided to bust it, didn t like it, threw it to congress and there s a big difference between permanent protection and a path to citizenship, which is part of that deal and three years of protection. i want to add one other thing. uh-huh. let s be real here. what s wrong is donald trump doesn t want the shutdown to end. he likes this shutdown. it keeps him in the center. it shows that he s got the power. he alone can keep these 800,000 employees out. i don t think he s serious at all about ending the shutdown, and it s in its 30th day. so you have the coast guard, the secret service, the tsa, national park service, forest service, go down the list who are being held hostage and forced to pay the price for his stubbornness. i don t know, amy. do you think th
what are you talking about, rand paul? are you really you re not really he attacks rand paul all the time. he calls him weak. are you really saying rand paul is running u.s. foreign policy right now? i don t think he s running u.s. foreign policy but for whatever reason he got into the president s ear and that s an impetus. because i don t know what happened. literally the president woke up and i don t what happened. rand is celebrating. i understand what you re saying and it s sort of who is in his face at the moment to trigger him to do something. that might be the concern that that has had. maybe lindsey graham needs to go golfing with him today. here s the bigger question. i ll post it to adam but also to the table. at what point, at what point are members of this administration concerned that a snap decision like this was made and can be made again? and condemn and not only our
there. but you can only imagine the eyes of russia are also on the president s first foreign trip abroad. i think eyes of the world are on this first foreign trip. there are a number of upset about the meeting with the russians and that s going to be the back drop of the nato meeting next week when he goes to the nato meeting for the first time in brussels. at least in the riad stop, he read from the teleprompter. of course he hasn t had a news conference and we don t expect to unless things ease up and they decide he s really ready for that kind of encounter. he has not been speaking in photo opportunities. this has been a very different donald trump. i don t think he s on twitter. i haven t had a chance to check.
