to m join them in that march. so it was really very political from the beginning, when it comes to liberalism or left-wing politics versus women s welfare. right. while i disagree with much of the politics, if not all of the politics that the women s march, i do stand by their right to peacefully protest behind leaders that they can trust. actually tout the organization s values. while, like i said, i don t agree with them, they do say that they are for tolerance, h inclusion, they are for, like you said, women s empowerment and women s rights. i don t see how it is actually for those things if they don t include pro-life women, if they don t include jewish women or they don t treat jewish women the same. ofis is the insanity intersectionality, this oppression tammy: and identity politics. even the left! tammy: and this is where it gets off-center here. i m the president of independent women s voice. there is also, though, at this march in washington, a number of different co
visit to a combat zone was with ahe first lady and give him chance to hear directly from commanders on the ground and the president noted the remarkable job u.s. forces have done, taking the fight to the islamic state terror group. with the near elimination of the isis territorial caliphate in iraq and in syria. the timing of the trip comes as the secretary of defensel d the special envoy for the correlation to defeat isis have both resigned. defense secretary jim mattis is out at the end of the year after being critical of the president s foreign policy and brett mcgurk was planningar to leave in early 2019 but turned in his resignation and protest of the president s plan to pull u.s. forces out of syria. the president invited the iraqi prime minister to the white house next year and we are told he accepted the invitation.. i should note, air force one has touched down in germany for a refueling stop where the commander in chief s meeting with more u.s. military personnel. tammy?
can see. on the otherm side. tammy: sure. it s a deterrent, it s an obstacle. the america people want border security if it allows democrats to save some kind of face but stop illegal immigration, not in its tracks nothing will stop it completely but put an obstacle in front of it, i think that is fine. everyone walks away happy. tammy: we know the democrats understand that because the process before are always saying they don t want the wall as if if they care about border security. so democrats americans who happen to be democrats, they care about their families as well, they care about the nature of what is happening at the border now. democrats, none of us want to hear stories about children dying in the midst of a trek that should never have happened in the first place. these are the things that unite us. i think that this is where we can have a good conversation. the president knows that. hopefully these games will end. but the president s position is based, of course
needle and try to make his points and, quite frankly, educate president trump on some of these issues and so the departure of him is something that is, i think, going down in the history books. tammy: well, christian whiton is a former state department senior advisor to trump and george w. bush administrations. he joins us now. christian, i really don t recall woodward saying that when barack obama fired mattis that that was a tragedy. did i miss that part? [laughs] the pearl clutching really has gotten out of control. mattis did what he was supposed to do, kill isis, that was the urgent crisis, that is what president trump promised to do. that is what he did. he helped unlock the promise of our forces and helped w get the lawyers out of the way and let our soldiers do their job. but mattis was opposed to trump on most other things.. he wanted to stay in the paris climate boondoggle.
great day. thanks for joining us, heather, i appreciate it. you guys, the women s march movement was supposed to bring down the president. the trump administration. instead, it may not survive to the second anniversary of his inauguration. leaders of the group are facing growing accusations of anti-semitism and attacks for their ties to nation of islam leader louis farrakhan.io activist linda sarsour recentlc denied ever having met farrakhan, although she spoke alongside him at an event in 2015. cracks are showing. today the chicago branch of the women s march that it will not be should holding a rally this january. allie beth stuckey, a podcast host, joins us now. how are you? thanks for coming on. i m doing well, thanks, tammy. tammy: we have been hearing about this for a while. it s been very, very public. we know that one of the founders, a woman who lives in hawaii who started this movement with a facebook post, was the first one to come out and say, look, this is not what we
