Phillip brucker said that the north korea Breakthrough Potential upped the stakes on the mike pompphaoeubmike pompeo. They may be playing with the one opening we have with north korea. Do you agree or disagree with rucker in. Heidi heitcamp got on or board with his confirmation. It will be close. Theres some sense there is an issue where if you oppose pompeo you open yourself up to attacks. Is and some of these red states is not supporting the president on Foreign Policy during this key moment. A lot of people a lot of democrats were forced on thursday to grudgingly acknowledge sort of admiration or respect for pompeo going to meet with kim jongun over easter. It didnt move a lot of their votes. As you saw a bunch of the democrats on the Senate Foreign realizes committee, they still had to reiterate their
opposition is. Anna palmer from politico, what do you think is is the story of the week . I think one of the most interesting stories is u. N. Ambassador nikki haley asserting herself
i think there will be a lot more votes than heidi heitcamp. the president said rand has always been with me more. he voted for john kerry in the foreign relations committee. does rand paul pass to get to the floor without any fill pwuflter nonsense that chuck schumer has been muttering about? i m not sure. i m very is skeptical to think he will. he didn t hold up the omnibus negotiations or the final passage of the bill. that was a shift intact for him. usually he is someone who doesn t even up caring about these types of things and will do what he wants. i would be surprised if he votes for pompeo to move him to the floor. but, you know, it wouldn t totally surprise me, but it would surprise me. let me play a clip if i can of the president talking about russia with prime minister abe. as far as the investigation,
extra in nato. there has been nobody tougher than me. nobody tougher than trump. james hohmann, does that work? nikki haley announced on the sunday shows there were going to be new sanctions. trump didn t want those. they walked them back. and i think hawks feel like trump could be a lot tougher. i don t think it works on on capitol hill. it works with the base who doesn t care deeply about this issue. hope, 700 billion this year. 720 billion next year. a huge tkfpbgs bill. does he have a point here, he is tougher on russia than president obama was? we have seen him expel russian diplomats, impose lines of sanctions. there are things he has done.
