and then there was the face-to-face, toe to toe meeting at the g-20 where the president could not convince vladimir putin and other world leaders to support the strikes. how can he change the minds of congressional opponents? and they are all fellow americans. the former deputy assistant to president george w. bush and the former chief of staff to george mansion. the administration is lobbying hard. they are in over drive and trying to twist arms. will that change any minds? i don t. it is too little, too late. a president should be leading his country into war with a purpose and a conviction and a plan and a cost and the american people don t see any of that. we are going kicking and screaming by a president who wants to do this to save face for a threat he couldn t make good on. no international community support and the american people don t support it. when you have a senator like dianne feinstein who comes out of a meeting and says the american people don t know what we know.
goes beyond colorado, sbirthe ee country. just this week we talked earlier with governor perea about the white house passing issues. they re doing things without congress, and they re not really getting to the heart of who is abusing guns. it really ends up impacting people who are trying to do things the right way. that s why i wrote this book. i wrote this book because since newtown, and i found it to be sad and shameful, and bloomberg with bloomberg s money has really exploited children for this radical gun control agenda they ve planned for years to come, and they ve had some success. five states including colorado have passed these new laws. no one on any level, the senate or the states, have said these laws would prevent these mass shootings or these laws reduce crime. the fact of the matter is, gun ownership is at the highest
that does absolutely nothing when it comes to stopping that type of activity. why do you think the focus on these kinds of things, because my estimation is and i haven t heard any other evidence to the contrary and we ve looked for it, is that these laws are not going to impact people committing crimes. there are not criminals on the street to set up a corporation to then fraudulently buy a firearm and than go use it to commit crimes. it doesn t pass the smell test. well, and i think that it clearly goes to trying to impinge constitutional rights, how the president functions and sees himself. he thinks that he can give a speech and knows how to deal with these issues, whether it s issues in the middle east or foreign policy or whether it s something as important as our second amendment rights in this country. he thinks he s right. the sad thing is that this president is wrong not only in
clinton who you remember well launched the airstrikes in bosnia and kosovo and that worked. how about the moral stance? the issue of chemical weapons being horrendous and these atrocities so unspeakable. there is the holocaust and the refrain never again and now it has happened again. what do we tell the syrians who are standing by with that and deal with it as a moral issue? first of all it is unmistake blee horrible. it has happened again. by the way it has happened again in syria. it has happened almost a dozen times in syria. it happened in iraq and we did not intervene at the time in iraq over chemical weapons. it happened against the kurds and it happened against iran. i don t think anybody is debating that it is not horrendous. the question is, is it a direct threat right now on the united states or our allies, and do we get involved in yet another middle eastern country particularly one we have much more serious threats in the
