we don t pay the price for that show. uh, everybody who helped us could very well pay that price. it should be pointed out that a lot of people did not. a lot of people were very nice to us but said, look, i just i ve already been in jail. you know? i don t i really don t want to go back. um, it s a very real concern. what happens to the people we leave behind? you know, one would think that you can t once freedom you know, they ve tasted freedom, you know? well, uh, uh, you know, you can put the toothpaste back in the tube. you know? uh, there s no doubt about that. but for the moment at least, things seem to be moving in the right direction. a country closed off to most for so long, sleeping, a 50-year nightmare for many of its citizens, finally may be waking up. to what? time will tell.
he left canada where he literally seemed to thrill in sticking his finger in the eyes of our oldest, closest, most reliable allies to legitimize, and you can never put that toothpaste back in the tube. he has now elevated the leader of north korea to a stature that he can never undo. so literally on the plane ride from canada, where he seemed to delight in ridiculing and harsh personal attacks against some of our closest allies, he then landed and called it a tremendous honor tbe there with this murderous dictator who republicans used to describe as a thug before they all got brainwashed by trsm. gordon, he does get points for the spectacle of it. this is a history making event and it s going to make the world safer for our children and grandchildren? yes, we ve eventually got to talk about human rights. first of all, otto warmbier, this is the one-year anniversary that he came back and he died shortly after that.
spooked the north koreans, this mention of the libya model when john bolton, national security adviser, mentioned it. he likely was talking about the deal finalized during the bush administration for gadhafi to give up chemical weapons, weapons of mass destruction, nuclear program. what kim saw was gadhafi during the bush administration, the government being overthrown, his being killed and dragged through the streets. has the u.s. put to to use a sloppy analogy put the toothpaste back in the tube? is it clearly off the table? although there was the double down by the vice president after the president shot it down. yes, libya is the wrong model. the right model is ukraine. ukraine was the third biggest nuclear power in the 1990s. it took four years to denuclearize ukorean. one year of in ukraine. one year of talks by president clinton. we ended up buying back highly enriched uranium. it was a good deal and resulted
come back the china to discuss trade policy. you have, you know, all of these other things the iran deal, which he is supposed to announce tomorrow. what kind of message does this send when the correlate of the president of the united states is questioned at this level on these kinds of things? i just spent a week overseas in australia. and i was asked over and over again what is the world is going on in america? and one of the questions that was persistent, can you put the toothpaste back in the bottle? yeah, the conservative movement used to know intuitively that precedent begets precedent. that you can t necessarily prevent the worsening the coorsening of conditions once you open a pandora s box. the fear is you know we will have compounding lying as opposed to spinning and not being especially candid is going out the window and you can just actually distort facts. but there is another school of thought that says there is going to be a reaction to this presidency just as the
but that is very questionable lawyering based on any expert you talk to. again, the problem that the white house has, and frankly it s been expressed to us privately that they seem to be in worse shape since giuliani started talking. so peter, let me also bring you in. i pick this up in my conversations every day from folks in the white house and the president s allies outside the warehouse speak to this concern about the cohen raid and cohen legal position, i think that s a fair way to describe it. rudy says, i wanted to get out in front of the special counsel and southern district of new york because at some point they d realize this information and link it. i said there was no way there was a strategy to that performance on hannity. i was immediately told by two sours close to rudy, what i just read, was absolutely the strategy. that suggests you can put toothpaste back in the tube. whatever it is that was seized
