he was hiding and i ll try not to get emotional. he snagged me up, took me into the tundra. you can feel where he took my head. he bluff charged. they ll extend their cars. any back pressure is a sign of engagement. that means i m going to take him on. you got to roll with the punches but try not to put punches on. do you have to relax? you re very aware, no matter what bear attack happens, you did something in bear language to incur their wrath. you have to undo that very rapidly. the end of the story, i did end up i had to sew my own head together, find a gun, find him, shoot him. i laid there til a plane found me. what a story. you can see all about what life is like for sue akins on life below zero on nat geo.
so it s interesting to see him flip on the immigration issue. what s interesting, though, this morning it seemed like senator schumer kind of called the bluff, right, because the argument is, well, we don t trust president obama to enforce the law, which is a ridiculous argument given everything he s done. then you had schumer saying, okay, we ll sign the legislation and we ll just make it go into effect in 2017. i mean, that essentially is calling their bluff. exactly. they want to be the architects of immigration reform. it s plain and simple. and i ve said this before. democrats need to be nervous because if republicans keep stalling, latinos are going to eventually punish democrats. they re not going to cross party lines and vote for republicans, but they re going to do what they did in 2010, which is stay home. so the president and legislative leaders really need to push on boehner. something has to be done. i want to switch gears, jared, for just a moment because eric holde
if you re knot prepanot prepare out the threats, your bluff is called every time. that s what assad has done. called obama the bluff. they said, you re talking about dire consequences. so let s see them. and president obama s now backing off from that. despite the rhetoric. but, you know, in this case, it s watch my deeds, not my words. so then you have to question why is he not willing to act? the decision to seek congressional approval, it s a departure from the administration s decision to intervene in libya in 2011. no approval sought then. so why the change in tactic this time around? i think, heather, they watched what happened in london, at parliament this week, and their jaws dropped. they thought that the prime minister, prime minister cameron was going to follow in lock step. the bittish public, of both political parties said, nope. we don t want to have a repeat of tony blair and george bush and iraq. we are not going to do this this
i think the president came up with it originally as a way to keep out of the battle. but look as if he was being very high-minded. well then, the bluff was called. it was used. and he acted in a way that made it very clear to everybody in the region that nothing he says in the region carries any weight. and that, i think, is the fact of what is happening right now. that is the reason you can have the regime do it, and why they can do it with impunity. it is the reason hezbollah was on the ground, and can do it with impunity. it is the reason why the russians are doing it with impunity. there is no response with any effect coming from the united states. so what would you do? well, i wouldn t have imposed a red line on chemical weapons. what i would have done, which is at the beginning of the conflict, when the jihadists had not entered, for about a year, when it was a popular uprising,
hundreds and maybe thousands of years, so it s probably not going to stop in its entirety, but as far as this particular slide, the longer it stays still and doesn t move, the more likely it s not going to continue. reporter: 5.3 million square the feet of land fell. enough to fill 40,000 dump trucks. access to homes is still an issue. people who live on top of the bluff, they can get there. the danger for them is the cliff s edge keeps creeping closer to their homes, but for 17 people down below where we are, the road to their property has been destroyed and we re told most likely will never be rebuilt. they can get to their homes now by taking a short five minute walk on a steep sleepry path and there s talk of making it a one lane gravel road, but the real question
