real going forward. it s a supply issue. it s a command issue. and so the repercussions here, certainly inside russia, but also inside russia s campaign in ukraine. let me follow up with you on that, jim. can putin really afford to allow someone to remain in command of this sizable force, the command that wagner now has, can putin allow that to remain in force? the view of western intelligence is no, it s such a direct and open challenge to his leadership, and this is putin who, listen, you have dissidents who speak out against putin, and they get poisoned, right? so an open military challenge to his leadership is something that the russian president is not likely to tolerate. and you have the prospect here, right, of putin then having to unleash his military forces still loyal to him against
down ballot. a candidate recruitment. part of the reason why the candidate quality issue as mitch mcconnell called it in the last midterm was based on the supply issue. people didn t want to run. the strong candidates didn t want to run. i get calls from people who are mainstream center right republicans, thinking about running, and when i talk through all the challenges of running with trump hanging over them, many of them decide not to run. some of them are maybe i can run as a democrat, an independent. the quality goes down and you get the types of people who do decide to run are far right maga candidates that maybe can win in red states that are bad matches for states like arizona and georgia and pennsylvania as we saw in the last midterm. there is also a new poll out regarding joe biden and, you know, i think this is something that a lot of trump folks look at. 62% think his mental fitness is a concern. how do you change that
little more aggressive, use u.s. military assets, intelligence community assets. help the mexicans fight the cartels. the cartels are running the country of mexico and using the opportunity of a wide open border to flood our country with drugs. sanctions are good. i have seen successful sanctions over my career. dana, that s not going to solve the supply issue. we have to destroy the labs. dana: michael waltz, congressman from florida on the drug cartels says this. we need to start thinking about these groups more like isis than the mafia. any quick thought on that? of course. the criminal justice system in mexico has failed miserably. they are soft on crime and they are not going to go after the cartels or extradite these king pins like we need to get them here. to be honest with you, we re soft on crime north of the border as well. dana: okay, we have lots of problems to solve and you are on the case.

something to show for it, so if they are not allowed to bring them back into britain we are hoping this will discourage them from doing it in the first place. is there any means are you looking at means by which you could make it in any way illegal for someone to travel to a place in order to trophy hunt? how can you affect that part of the equation? if you look at this as a supply and demand issue on the one hand we want to tackle the demand, so people from countries like britain or america, germany, whatever who want to go out until these animals of the first place but then the supply issue. the problem is we already have laws that do stop the trade of endangered wildlife, but there is a big loophole, so the convention on international trade on endangered species as you can t go and shoot a runner and bring the horn back in order to sell, but you can shoot the very same rhino attack the horn home if you say that you are a trophy
