Caller i trust the president. Im a registered democrat. I voted for trump for president. I used the republican line today. I will vote for him again. Theink what he did with iranian general and taking him was one onehe did of the most brave things i have seen a president do. In my ability to vote for him long before he did this. George from columbia, South Carolina. Independent line, good morning. Caller good morning. How could anybody vote for this guy . Know how to shut his mouth. You could attract more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. He is a vinegar mouth to guy. Mouthed guy. He is idiotic. He is supposed to be diplomatic, he is supposed to be the president of the United States of america but he has a filthy mouth. He just shouldnt talk like that. I saw his rally the other day, he does not talk like a leader. He talks like a child. I dont have anything against him. I am not a democrat or a republican. But, jesus. Like one a man and act because there are lives at stake. I just dont get it. You ares rally that referring to is in toledo, ohio. It is on our website. It is on our growing Video Library with content dating back to the mid1980s. Howard is next in indiana, independent line. Good morning. Caller good morning. I would support anyone other than trump. Any of the Democratic Candidates would be better on Foreign Policy than trump. Trump has no policy. He reacts without thinking. I believe he instituted this strike as a way to distract from all the troubles he has in domestic politics. It is concerning to me that there is any dispute among any of our voters as to trumps honesty and ability to lead on any Foreign Policy or any other matter on that basis. Thank you for the call. Host thank you for the call. It is the headline time for democrats to demonstrate their Foreign Policy to voters. Lastcrats will hold the debate of the 2020 primary season before voters caucus in iowa, it will be the debate with foreignpolicy and National Security front and center. Historically democrats have not fared well when competing with republicans on the International Stage. Foreign policy helped Ronald Reagan when his first term and george w. Bush to win his second. Byocrats are portrayed opponents as weak on National Security. Tweets from the hip, he has shunned and insulted our Intelligence Community then used intelligence he has not shared as the excuse to bring us to the brink of war with iran. He is the furthest thing from a steady hand and even killed mind that the country needs right now. We need a commander in chief we can trust. Trump orc cannot trust his administration especially on matters of Foreign Policy. That is available online. Next up is bob from jacksonville, texas. Democrats line. Caller good morning, steve. You are my favorite person on this channel. Since 1982. Watching i dont trust trump as far as i have seen. I trust Bernie Sanders. I would trust any of the democrats that are running. Im going to vote for Bernie Sanders. He has more sense than all of them put together. I appreciate you taking my call. Thank you for the call from texas. Senator sanders leading from a pole. Leading in this pole. Questions as the impeachment heads to the senate when will the trial begin . Next from mason, massachusetts on the independent line. Good morning, how are you today . I trust what President Trump did was correct. I am an independent voter. I want to speak from an independent viewpoint. Things democrats have done in the past against things President Trump has recently done, i agree with the caller that said they wish he would keep his mouth shut from time to time. What i would like to say is, if i look at past history and what happened i am glad he did what he did. His act was not the cause war with iran. If you look at how the democrats handle the situation. President clinton had information of where bin laden was. He did not act on that and we had 9 11. Benghazi, if you look at how they handled the situation when our embassy was getting stormed and bombarded by people in benghazi, look at how that resulted. When you look at the way President Trump handled things, he had imminent information on people wanthether to believe that are not. Man that has caused hundreds of deaths to americans. And went into our embassy in iraq. He is trying to protect americans. When you think about the reaction of iran, the missiles they have they could have bombed other places and killed our soldiers. Host thank you for the call from massachusetts. At 40agazine, a look years of relations or lack thereof between the u. S. And iran. The headlines on the brakes. The Democratic Candidates with a new series of ads taking aim at the president on iran. This new ad from the Biden Campaign. The last administration was leading the world down the path of war. We are restoring our world to the path of peace. Harshn is threatening retaliation for the killing of its top general by american versus. Iran announcing that it will continue uranium enrichment with no limitation in an aboutface to the iran Nuclear Agreement. Showing more than 20 missiles launched from iran. They are scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. We stand at the most dangerous moment in our lifetimes and there have been plenty of dangerous moments. Back to your phone calls, mark is joining us from milwaukee. Good morning. Caller i have a hard time trusting anything that comes out of the white house. There was an article today on u. K. Andws about the its alliance with trump and the United States. If he divides the United States and weividing the world dont have any respect anymore. Timeo have a hard understanding people calling in saying they are registered democrats and they are now republicans voting for trump. It is hard to believe that. Host dorothy next in arkansas. Good morning. Caller because you cannot trust trump, as senator mike lee said it was the worst hearing he had gone to. Did not answer many questions and they could not prove there was imminent danger in place. Because we cannot trust trump you cannot trust him on world affairs. I am glad the congress voted for him to become no more involved with war unless there is a resolution from congress. Democratter to have a like joe biden, somebody who is fierce in foreign relations. Trump does not give his reports and he does know the intelligence and since he doesnt know the intelligence he cannot make good decisions. Take us intoant to killing this man he did not know the imminent danger. There are two or three different stories about the imminent danger. Host we will go to michael next on the democrats line from atlanta, georgia. If you are just tuning in or listening we are focusing on this question with regards to Foreign Policy. Democrats or republicans, which candidate do you trust . Good morning,ler thank you for taking my call. I am new to politics but three years ago i started paying more attention. To me it is hard to trust what trump says. I look at it from both sides so i can be fair. That the iranian strike , not have any casualties i know people say he did the right thing and i bounced back and forth on that. We are not safer because of the strike. That is when i am a bit confused. It seems like he acted out of selfinterest rather than the interest of the country. It seems like there is a strategy that with pompeo they have been struggling to come up with a reason to prove it was inamed. To prove it was imminent. Of the Democratic Candidates, there are others i would trust more. It is sad that when you have an administration that bounces back between the truth people have a hard time believing it. Thank you for taking my call. Host a couple of Text Messages. From massachusetts i trust joe biden and i think he is the only one who can get us out of this mess. This mess. , jonathan sayst not a democrat. The gop used to be faithbased now they are faithbased. We need to protect state from church. With this text message, he is in fort collins, colorado. Bernie, he voted against the iraq war. Iraq war. Caller i think the question m do you trust, not who do you trust. Secondly, i think most of your callers and most of the other media sources that you cite, you have done this repeatedly, are antithe president. I wish you would ask some questions, some of the other hosts do. Does. Hevarria i think it is appropriate to ask the people who are so adamantly and up the president here to hate him no matter what. Cancerd find a cure for and still be accused of being a racist. Please ask some of these callers who hate him why they hate him. Him . You will vote for caller i will vote for him. I am a registered independent from 1976. I 2012i was 11 from 11 voted for jimmy carter, i voted for president clinton twice. I voted for barack obama when he was running against the guy who was a pow when i was in nam. I am not a racist. The best guys should get your vote, not because you hate somebody. Are we the results, better off now than we were in 2016 . I think the answer is clearly yes. Host peter baker who joined us last week and a team of reporters looking at seven days , secret wars, a deadly strife, and a world on edge. President trump boasted he had taken out an american enemy. The struggle between the two nations is not over. Iran may find other ways to take revenge. Accomplishing in depth what the general tried to do in life. In the confusion a ukrainian passenger jet was destroyed by an Iranian Missile killing 176 people. Alliessode bravely gave something to cheer, distracting from the coming Senate Impeachment trial but now he faces questions even among republicans about the shipping justification for the strike that he and his National Security team have offered. The immediate march the war has ed they expect iran to regroup and find other ways to strike back. On the democrats line, jenny from hawaii. Thank you for taking my call. I trust Amy Klobuchar and andrew wang. I would love to see the two of them together. The story was reported to me by a trump supporter, that iranians have good 80 million on his head for anyone who assassinates him. There is no confirmation of that in the news. I wonder if you could tell me about that one . Host what was your initial reaction when you saw that . Upsetting. Was i want to see us depose him. I cannot bear what he has done with taking children away from their families at the border. Book, that is a sexual predator we have in the white house. The suppose it christians i am a reeled christian i am a real christian these dreadful men like menzie graham with donald on his face i just detest the republicans. Magazine, her gamble, why nancy pelosi went all in against donald trump. That is from a reporter who is working on a biography of the speaker do out in may. This is a text message in clayton, new mexico. Who do i trust on Foreign Policy . The commanderinchief that draws a redline when our embassy is attacked. This is doug from fort collins, colorado. Caller this is doug in fort collins. Policyd back at foreign and what makes in interfered and vietnam to get elected Ronald Reagan interfered with iran to get elected. Not a good track record. George w lied us into a full war, not a good record. As far as the Republican Party is concerned i think they are warmongers. I would lean towards democrats and i would vote for bernie. I dislike the president. I dont have hate in my heart for trump. I feel sorry for him. He has issues, mother issues. I dont hate him because i am a christian. Trump is the only candidate who can be trusted to keep americans strong, gop knows it and democrats know it, not one democratic candidate can beat him or go beat him. Decision process that went into the iranian general shot down by u. S. Drones. We will tell you that probably it was going to be the embassy in baghdad, you saw that happening and you saw it with veryf the circling in strongly and very viciously knocking out windows and trying to get in. When i called out the military they said we will have it there tomorrow. We are going to have another benghazi on our hands. We did a really amazing job but get no credit for it. We never get credit for anything but that is ok. We have the greatest economy we have ever had. I think we wouldve had another benghazi what we have not reacted quickly. Apaches going there, great helicopters that were dropping flares all over the place. A lot of things were happening. A largescale attack planned for other embassies and if those were planned why cant we reveal that to the American People . I can reveal that i believe it would have been four embassies and i think that probably baghdad already started. They were amazed that we came in with that kind of force. We came in with very powerful force and drove them out. That ended almost immediately. Baghdad would have been the lead. It could have been military bases or embassies. It was imminent and then all of a sudden he was gone. Host that was the president on fox news on friday. How u. S. Sanctions are paralyzing the iranian economy. In sarasota springs, new york, republican line. Good morning. Caller good morning. A woman was recently calling in andrew yang has pragmatic, realitybased approach to Foreign Policy.
