It comes to the president s authority, on domestic policy, there s a lot more checks and balances than there are when it comes to his foreign policy. and frankly, it s a really scary time now and we just don t know when he will unravel. like, michael cohen, this could have him spinning off for hours as he s trying to make this decision. and that frightens me. and we know john kelly has very little influence over him any longer if you read the reporting the from the washington post. all right, facebook on capitol hill. mark zuckerberg testifying tomorrow. he s on this apology tour. i was speaking with senator bill nelson earlier today and he met with him privately and i said, are you buying the apology? and he very deftly skirted around that answer and said, you know, he did tell me what he s going to do, but i don t think it s enough. well, it was a good day for mark zuckerberg, after this latest news broke, he s no longer the top headline. there are a lot of people within wh ....
Conversations. but to pull out of syria is to undercut our syrian kurdish allies and other groups we ve been working with on the ground. plus, it puts syria in the hands of russia and bashar al assad. not to mention completely contradicting what his own state department and his own department had said essentially moments before hand. so what we ve seen all along with this president is government by improv and that works pretty badly in general on domestic policy. i think it works particularly badly when it comes to foreign policy when foreign governments, foreign adversaries and your allies have to understand that you re speaking with one voice and they can trust what it is you re saying and understand where your foreign policy is headed. i want to differ a little bit with charlie in the sense that it seemed to me to be kind of icing on the cake of insult that this information once again came ....
The president of the united states and the president makes the decision. he gets the advice and counsel from those around him. on domestic policy, international policy, foreign affairs, he makes the final decision. people voted for him for his decision-making ability and how he wants to guide this nation. he makes the best decision based on what he believes is best for the american people and american businesses and interests. this speaks to a problem, brianna. nobody knew what the hell he was going to say before this meeting. john kelly wasn t even in the white house at the time. they did not know. he said maybe i m going to do it, maybe i m not going to do it. nobody in congress knew. the people in that room didn t even know. so the decision-making process david gregory just made this point, has really broken down. we don t know where he is on guns. he has this big meeting. he hasn t said i m going to do this. i m going to take on the nra but then he doesn t. he walks into these ta ....
A win. isn t this a win for mitt romney? yes and no, there are many people within the republican party who would like him to be a proxy for the establishment of the gop, to be a voice against president trump and this gambit by the president via twitter, he s saying actually, you re part of the party that i now own. but pick your fights, right? romney can pick his fights? i was talking about a few days ago after the shooting of parkland he was the first major republican to say hey, we have to do something. you saw other republicans follow, james langford and others and now you have john cornyn working? he ll be a heavyweight and you could see that on domestic policy. the key question with romney, let s say he gets elected, what will he say on foreign policy when he s in washington? will he be a more hawkish voice on russia? on interference, will he be a foil to president trump or will he just try to blend in into the wallpaper. peter, russia is his issue, isn t it? mitt romney p ....
