pandemic that affected so many lives and dragged him down in the eyes of americans who concluded they failed when faced with that all-important task. as for trump, he said at the time he did not see the emergency as his test of a lifetime. was there a moment in all of this last two months where you said to yourself, ah, this is the leadership test of a lifetime? no. no. and no hesitation. now, that is a small part of one of trump s newsworthy interviews with bob woodward conducted across the outbreak of the pandemic and 2020 campaign. 20 interviews across that stretch. trump sometimes making the calls, something he apparently now regrets. the former president is suing woodward, we should note, over publishing these interviews that he agreed to. any legal expert say trump would be likely to lose based on the law. we published the interviews in the trump tapes , his assessment that trump is a unique danger to network. that conclusion goes parter quite frankly than much o
vaccines to people in an aggressive way, organized that s right, testing. it s an amazing we late it out in peril , but, you know, it was a success, so i m running out of time, but doctor patel, do you agree we re in a different world now? we re in a very different world. we re in a very different world and, i think there s a lot of reasons we re in the different world. number one, we have threats we haven t understood. it s not just bioterrorism. we modelled that in the obama administrationing but we couldn t have thought of some of the forms of bioterrorism. taking down standard labs, having the threat of infiltration with computers that can take down any national surveillance system. and we have no we haven t learned even with the biden administration. we ve taken away the public health funding to create that public infrastructure to stand up a manhattan project if we
nation. as if the two of them just sat together and built all these plans. that is a substantively muddled pitch but politically cunning. the campaign question is whether voters will learn with those things you just heard are falsehood and will they care. the obama administrationing had a strict policy and it wasn t zero policy and it wasn t the same as trump. donald trump pledged mexico would pay for the wall, and instead, you are. a fact that his 2020 communications director explained on this slow last night with a new argument claiming that mexico isn t paying, sure, but in a way in a way maybe they are paying with a kind of a virtual currency. mexico is paying a lot for our southern security. and that. not the wall. i would call it a virtual wall. that s your closing argument? that s the closing argument. trump s justice department on defense defending a losing case this week where they were
this friction between the pentagon and the white house and his response was that this was not new and not unique to this administration. that s true are. you saw the tension also between the cia and the white house. one of the first things the president decided to do was look at going after members of the cia for their intelligence tack tibs. and you look at the way they tactics. and there have been a number of complaints, the white house doesn t know how to coalition build and reach out and include congress. so these democrats go rogue because, yes, they re bad at break-ups, they re bad at relationships. [laughter] meanwhile, another possible foreign policy headache. the obama administrationing is refusing to discuss reports it s considering sanctions on one of our strongest and most steadfast allies, israel. the reason reportedly because israel is continuing to build jerusalem homes homes in jerusalem and the west bank. you re shaking your head. appear to give some non-answer
eventually. if we go there, there is a smelter of some sort. that s the argument that will be made against him. for him it s one more thing he doesn t want to have to deal with at this point. is the path toward any kind i have immigration legislation is difficult enough. even now the path for an executive form of some partial fix to the system as he sees it is now much more complicated. ruth, is the obama administration doing enough to stop this misimpression? they started running ads. governor rick perry of texas has a letter, he warned the administration about this two years ago. complained about it several years ago. i think that s an entirely legitimate point. the response from the obama administrationing is yes, but the real surge did not happen until very, very recently. they ve got a terrible problem on their hands. this breitbart report cannot possibly be helpful. strikes me that as with iraq, a bunch of realities can simultaneously be true. it s clear if you listen to the
