what is the critical issue is what do we need to do to make sure it doesn t happen again? right. professor peterson, do you get the impression this week involved a bait and switch by republicans? at the beginning of the week, we were promised the most explosive testimony from whistleblowers who were literally going to light up the ferment with revelations, yet we come to the end of the week and we re back on talking points we were discussing months ago surrounding susan rice, ambassador susan rice. well, martin, we covered this earlier in the week. we explained what we knew from what had leaked from those so-called whistleblowers testimony wasn t any revelation. right wing media beat us up over that particular story. you re right. here we are again. i still wish maybe you or karen could answer this for me. what has been covered up here? what is the evidence or where is this striking evidence there s been some kind of cover-up about what happened? i mean, we now know what happene
how does this i mean, are we is this really the result of the president just misspeaking? my sense is if you watch the way the president is speaking on this topic and you showed both clips. yeah. he s trying to be very careful and thinking of the word as he goes along and this particular president has been pretty adept at avoiding these types of miscues so to speak. but clearly he said a phrase red line that they probably didn t intend for him to say and that s caused all sorts of ramifications as you mentioned. chip, tom cotton who, of course, is an iraq and afghanistan veteran, this is what he said on meet the press. we have to arm the opposition, i think we also need to move to imposing a no-fly zone so he cannot continue to use helicopter gun ships against civilians. is that where we are? is that what we should be doing next, chip? that s obviously some of the options we ve got to look at. the bottom line, like we said, it s escalated very quickly.
unfold 42 hours, 74 hour, people were struck by the speed at which the senate acted, the speed which the house acted, two bodies that are known for a lot of things, but need not one of them typically. how was it lawmakers were able to move so quickly on an issue like this but not on other issues like gun control, for example? well, i wish, craig, as you know, i m very strong advocate of gun violence, prevention measures and one of my biggest frustrations of the two years they ve been in the united states senate, only two years, but still a huge frustration, has been the miscues ause and af the filibuster rule by the republican minority. here, republicans yielded, in affect and sought cost and inconvenience was creating a furor and the blowback from ordinary people as well as the business community and much broader segment of the public caused them to yield and to
