natural asset. why, you ask yourself, would putin do that? well, because because well, no one has explained why putin would do that. bad people do bad things. that s the idea. former cia director john brennan showed up on cnn the other day to add his version of the story, and it was clear right away that this was no ordinary cable news segment. brennan was instead conducting a scientific experiment designed to determine just how stupid cnn viewers are. these are the people that believe joe biden who told them covid was a pandemic of the unvaccinated, that men can become women just by saying so. clearly they have highly credulous, but the question remains just how credulous are they? what won t they believe? well, in the name of science, john brennan decided to find out. watch. do you think russia is behind the sabotage of the pipelines? i think all the signs point to some type of sabotage. these pipelines are only in 200 feet or so of water. russia has undersea capabi
We continue along. Youre watching cnn, im brooke baldwin. Thank you for being with me. Lets get to it. Donald trump just detailed what he would do if he is elected Commander In Chief, a first runup to his first Commander In Chief forum with Hillary Clinton tonight. Unlike the upcoming debates, the first one in less than three weeks, the two wont be on the same stage but they will face the same crowd, no doubt, the president ial contenders know that Absentee Voting begins in one week. And many people will be sending in ballots early. Many of those folks who are active duty military in his speech, speaking of, donald trump said he would boost defense spending, that he would pump up troop numbers, battalions, ships, jets, and he was there in philadelphia. He laid out his plan for rebuilding of the nations military and in doing so, he ripped into Hillary Clinton, into her foreign policy. Her emails and, oh, so much more. In a trump administration, our actions in the middle east will be tem
In ballots that early. A lot of them are active duty servicemen and women. And talk about the veterans here in a speech today, trump said he would boost defense spending, pumping up troop numbers, battalions, ships, cruisers, submarines, et cetera. And he laid out his plan for rebuilding the nations military. And he ripped into the foreign policies of Hillary Clinton. I will ask my generals to present to me a plan within 30 days to defeat and destroy isis. This will require a Military Warfare but also cyber warfare, financial warfare, and ideological warfare. What have we gotten from the horrible, horrible decisions made by barack obama and secretary clinton. Libya is in ruins our ambassador and three other brave americans are dead, and isis has gained a new base of operations. This reduction was done through what is known as sequester which youve all heard about, or automatic Defense Budget cuts.

last couple decades, they re incredibly similar, the way they convince americans to support u.s. involvement in a war, they personalize a particular leader, get us to hate that leader. oh, saddam hussein in iraq is a terrible guy. in syria, he s a tyrannical force. gadhafi in libya. yeah, let s take out these tyrants. then, you know, hundreds of of of of billions dollars later, and lives lost, polls always show that americans come to realize they regard those wars as a mistake. and the reason is they realize that no benefits came to the united states and american citizens by virtue of u.s. involvement in those wars. let s apply that framework here. the consensus in washington is that we are closer to the use of nuclear weapons than at anytime since the cuban missile crisis
sloppy phrasing it s caused a lot of people to misunderstand what i meant. i m sorry to have interrupted you, but i wanted to underscore your very point that you were making. yeah. you know, a lot of people laughed at this because they don t like cruz, and i don t like cruz either, but i view this with dread because what this is is authoritarian party dynamics, literally, they have a party line and it s not just about repeating propaganda. you have to enforce it, and this is what dictators do when people cross the party line when they say something that they shouldn t have said. gadhafi in libya, i write about this in strong men. he would have people come on television to recant and confess their sins and saddam hussein did stuff like that. so what we re seeing with tucker who made him come on is the same kind of dynamic. that s remarkable. ruth, thank you very much for continuing to write about this. if my viewers do not follow ruth
