ordinances? why is he going through the eo? why doesn t he push the statute, richard blumenthal was here. why doesn t he say pass the law. because he wants to give himself political cover and the backlash from his base who will be angry he s curtailing the second amendment rights. he thinks it won t get approved by the courts. exactly. as we used to say in the cowboy movies speaking in a foreclosed tongue, remember what he did with daca? all for it meeting with pelosi and chuck schumer. he started to add all these new conditions. is he pulling the same number? you talk to anyone who does any bit of legislating on the gun issue and no one within trusts him. part of that is reminiscent of the daca debate. they don t know where to pin him down. part is he s trying to thread a needle. he was elected with more support from the nra than any candidate in history. he says i ll never let you down. also a man who back in his formative days as a real estate

so it is obvious that he has figured out at least for today it serves his purpose to be a member of the international community and treat other members of that international community with some revel of respect. joining us now, former ambassador to russia, michael mcfall. every one of his books and papers, there s a press and what does it say? i m going to use that. banned by take a look here, ambassador. this is, i guess, the handshake. there you go. there s the pat. and here s the underarm pat. putin doesn t like these kind of meetings. he doesn t like it meeting with a taller man where they have these kind of photo shots.
