Of the 2008 obamabiden transition team. Thanks for coming back. Its a pleasure to be with you. I hope youre well. I certainly am. You were optimistic, hopeful but nervous when we talked before the election. Right now ive got to say congratulations, because i know youve got to be thrilled. I absolutely am thrilled. I think President Biden and Vice President harris will be focused like a laser on getting this virus under control as well as getting our economy back on track. Doing the healing that i think so many in our country are hungry for. Run hungry for. Tell us something we dont know about how hes feeling and what hes saying to shows closest to him. I think hes greatful that ss many people voted for him for president than ever before in our nations history. I think he is grateful and he will work hard every single day to earn that trust. This isnt over with the election. This is who he is at a human being. Hes focused on making our lives better. I think people get a feeling about pr
Not remotely. They like it being closed. Theres no change in your position . Absolutely not. Another crisis looms on the horizon. We are not going to pass a clean debt limit. We are happy to negotiate on anything. Im ready for the phone call. This is playing with fire. When is this going to end . If i knew, id tell you. Call me, call me, call me any, any time, call me day six of the Government Shutdown. Hopes for bringing it to an end were pretty much darked this morning when Speaker Boehner showed he is completely willing to budge on the gops hostage demands. Boehner told Abcs George Stephanopoulos hes sticking with the shutdown strategy. Even though hes got no clue at all where its going. Youve tried this several times. It hasnt worked. So theres no change in your position . Absolutely not. When is this going to end . If i knew, id tell you. Thats what i call leadership. With no clear path to ending this impasse, the house resumes tomorrow afternoon to continue voting on piecemeal sp
Welcome back, everybody. Big new developments today in the trump effort to overturn the election, a day after the president was publically rebuffed by republican lawmakers from michigan, invited to the white house. The Republican Party itself is trying to do what those legislatures would not do. They launched a fresh effort to keep the state from certifying the outcome, taking aim at predominantly minority voters in one county. Coming up in a few moments, i will talk to one of the members of the canvassing board in that county. This is the latest in a war on democracy from a president who cant muster up much passion for his position when hes anywhere outside of twitter. This is not an easy thing to do. Big pharma ran millions of dollars of negative advertisements against me during the campaign, which i won, by the way, but, you know, youll find that out. All right. And while this may seem like games manship to the president , it has real world implications for the president elect as he
Bombed desert targets and above it all, an awax kept track of the war games. Six b52s flew nonstop from north dakota to hit the target 70 miles from cairo. That was november 1981. A fake war in egypt. It apparently cost one paratrooper a broken hip. Otherwise it was considered a big success. Weve been holding big fake wars in egypt ever since. The first one was in 1980 after egypt signed a peace treaty with israel. We held a fake war with egypt. A big military joint Training Exercise in 1980. Again, we did that really big one in 1981. Then everybody had so much fun and it started to turn into such a big operation with so many tens of thousands of troops participating from an everincreasing list of countries that they decided they were going to have to hold this thing every two years instead of every year because it took so long to plan and it was so expensive to do. But we have been doing it biannually every couple of years ever since. The basic idea is that, well, in part, war games a
Basically, that if he were president , the United States would act as if we were georgia. We, america, would go to war with russia on behalf of this other country. And at the time that john mccain president ial candidate was pledging a war with russia because we are all georgians now, at the time that he was doing that, the lobbying firm of his top Foreign Policy adviser Randy Scheunemann had u. S. , been hired and put on the payroll of the government of georgia. Thats the one time you might remember Randy Scheunemann, that might have got the United States in a shooting war with russia. But mccain didnt win the presidency and he went back to a standard government policy guy. You havent heard much about him since then. Until this week. Until this week a really, really weird story about Randy Scheunemann was broken by the daily beast. He belongs to a private skiing club in montana. I did not know there was such a thing as a private skiing club. I thought like, you know, you buy a lift ti
