struggling to deal with the president. you have views on foreign policy where you have a president who has cozied up to a lot of the authoritarian leaders, where just four years ago they were saying russia was our greatest political challenge. and also a spending issue that is a complete reversal from what plans preached. it s a conundrum for the republican party in the future. the reporters will share from their notebooks next, including elizabeth warren s plans to ring in the new year. l we. non t. don t forget to use your vision benefits before they re gone. now in-network with vsp. visionworks. see the difference. up here at the dewar s distillery, all our whiskies are aged, blended and aged again. it s the reason our whisky is so extraordinarily smooth. dewar s. double aged for extra smoothness.
that s an open discussion. open discussion whether the president can be indicted. molly, you start with the spending issue that alexandria ocasio-cortez said. she said we don t want spending cuts before you spend more money like medicare for all. that suggests the democratic majority wants to spend a lot of money. alexandria ocasio-cortez doesn t want that rule because he has a progressive agenda and doesn t want to deal with how to pay for it. this shows the difficult situation that nancy pelosi is in. the fact she won this race again even so many people promised they would not vote for her and then they did. even more so than her previous time as speaker she is wrangling different people.
