Loaded is a broad term that talks about the realities that were also far safer and more secure domestically from energy independence. Locked and loaded, hes saying, is a broad term about energy independence. Has anyone ever actually used the term locked and loaded in that way . Our fossil fuels are locked and loaded . It doesnt really make sense. Were locked and loaded with natural gas and other fossil fuels, not to mention wind and solar. Keeping em honest, we all know what the president meant by locked and loaded. Clearly, the Vice President s office doesnt want to come out and say, just disregard the tweet sent out by the president last night. Instead, theyre pretending it means something else. Its not the only attempt in the midst of this crisis to walk back something the president has said. Now that the administration appears to be considering a strike against iran, the president is claiming he never said he wanted to negotiate with the iranian president without any preconditions.
And Elizabeth Warren may have taken a step closer to winning. We have the head of a group that just gave her a key endorsement that used to belong to Bernie Sanders. What do you say . Lets get after it. Locked and loaded, the catchy phrase President Trump tweeted about a possible american response to the armed drone assault on the saudi oil fields. He thinks iran did it. He has the backup of u. S. Officials. But look at some of the words that surround locked and loaded. Theres reason to believe that we know the culprit but are waiting to hear from the kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of the attack. The president is taking his cues from mbs . Tulsi gabbert made a stunning analogy. Youre offering our military assets to the dictator of saudi arabia to use as he sees fit is a betrayal of my brothers and sisters in uniform. My fellow Service Members and i, we are not your prostitutes. You are not our pimp. P provocative words. Obviously its going to get coverage. We have matt sc
U. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo is leading the accusations. He tweeted this. With zero publicized evidence to support his claim saying quote, iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world energy supply. There is no evidence the attacks came from yemen. Rebels in yemen initially took responsibility for the attacks, however that quickly raised pigss that this large scale operation might have been too much of a technological feat for that group. The fires have cut off half of saudi arabias oil supply and have halted 5 of Oil Production worldwide. And just to put it into perspective the sheer magnitude of the attacks, here are satellite images from nasa where you can see the smoke from the fires at the Saudi Oil Facilities from space. Joining me now to discuss is Cnn International correspondent in beirut and nick peyton wallach in tehran. The iranian government is calling the secretary of state pompeos claims against them baseless. What is iran saying about who would be r
Quote, tehran is behind nearly 100 attacks on saudi arabia while rouhani and zarif pretend to engage in diplomacy. Amid all the calls for deescalation iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the Worlds Energy supply. There is no evidence the attacks came from yemen. Confused yet . Lets go straight to the white house. The president has now spoken to the Saudi Crown Prince about this attack. What can you tell us . Reporter thats right, ana. The president did speak earlier today with saudi arabias defacto leader the Saudi Crown Prince, but it was perhaps the secretary of states tweet about this attack that made a lot more news today. The secretary of state there directly blaming iran holding it responsible ultimately for this attack whether it was carried out by iranian proxies or by iran, itself. Still very much remains a question mark. But the secretary of state calling on other nations to condemn irans attacks. He writes in a followup tweet, we call on all nations to publicly
Ugly about me and people laugh, that doesnt make it okay. So its about what do we want to invite, and how do we want to deal with what we dont like . I believe that this culture has to hold on to the ability to offend and be offended. Mmhmm. You cant be protected in this life from what people think about you or what they want to say about you, funny or not. Right. So, you know, i take a shot at you, and people laugh. That happens a lot in bullying situations too. Doesnt make it okay. Bullies arent comedians. I say let them offend. I say let the market and let the people decide. I think were both in the same place on this because if you dont like it, dont watch snl, right . I dont know if he should be listen, nbc made the decision. Personally, i think that there is a bigger lesson in it for him to stay in the spotlight of an snl and to try to deal with what he said and for him to realize that just sitting around like frat guys and saying racist things on a podcast no longer is was never
