That's thanks, Kevin. The 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: House of Representatives, as you mentioned, is set to take 32 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: its first vote to support the ongoing impeachment inquiry as 33 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: an in Trump, a move that aims to nullified Republicans 34 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: main complaint that the process is illegitimate. In a letter 35 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: to her colleagues today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi writes, quote, we 36 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: are taking this step to eliminate any doubt as to 37 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: whether the Trump administration may withhold documents prevent witness testimony. 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: Disregard duly authorized subpoenas or continue obstructing the House of Representatives. 39 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: While a wildfire continues on a swift path through the 40 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: star studded hills of Los Angeles, destroying several large homes 41 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: and forcing folks like Lebron James out of their homes. 42 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: California officials are also keeping an eye and an exploding 43 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: wildfire in northern California Wine Country.

His plea means, though, that 49 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: the case will skip the first phase of determining guilt 50 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: and now moved to a second phase of determining whether 51 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: he is criminally responsible. We're learning more about a viral 52 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: moment from Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings.

Rankin tells The Washington Post when 58 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: he saw McConnell, all he saw was his brother's face. 59 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: Rankin's brother died of cancer last year. He was exposed 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Rankin says 61 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: Cummings reached out to McConnell to try to get military 62 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: benefits for his brother and other veterans. He wasn't clear 63 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: about McConnell's role in those benefits being denied.

The Maryland Public Service Commission will 95 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: have to approve what Baltimore Gas and Electric says it's 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: willing to cut its proposed rate hike by forty seven percent. 97 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: It's worked out a deal with opponents of the plan. 98 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: The compromise would still bring the utility seventy nine million dollars.

We're gonna get 112 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: into that coming up. Matt Brooks is here, Republican strategist, 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: Executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Antoine ce Right, 114 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: Democratic strategist, founder and CEO of Blueprint Strategy, former advisor 115 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: to Hillary Clinton. She's been back in the headlines a 116 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: lot in Swine. She's busy, she's keeping it interesting, she's 117 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: staying relevant, she's staying part of the conversation as she should. 118 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: She will go down to history.

I think, 121 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: as I've said to you privately and publicly, she would 122 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: add a tremendous lift once we have a nominee up 123 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: and down the ticket next year. Alright, alright, well, another 124 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: another dominance, I would argue, the most dominant UH politician 125 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: on the Democrats right now was Speaker of the House, 126 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. And there was some breaking news just within 127 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: the last ninety minutes where House Democrats this week are 128 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: going to take their first vote, the first vote on 129 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: the impeachment inquiry of President Donald J. Trump. It's UH, 130 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: Speaker Pelosi. She announced the plan in a letter to 131 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,119 Speaker 1: her caucus members as well as two members of Congress. 132 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: And it's a resolution that quote affirms the ongoing and 133 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: existing investigation that is currently being conducted by our committees 134 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: as part of this impeachment inquiry. The vote is going 135 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: to be on Thursday. I'm not really sure what exactly 136 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: this vote is going to do. But in this letter, 137 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: she goes on to write, we are taking this step 138 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: to eliminate any doubt as to whether the Trump administration 139 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: may withhold documents, prevent witness testimony, disregard duly authorized subpoenas, 140 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: or can hinue obstructing the House of Representatives. But ants 141 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: one again, I'm not sure what this vote is gonna do. 142 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, we all know they're investigating. Well. It establishes 143 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: the procedure for hearings that are open, uh, which is 144 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: a complaint we've heard from the Republicans that authorize the 145 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: disclosure of deposition transcripts, outline procedures to transfer evidence to 146 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee as it um considers potential articles of impeachment. 147 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: In other words, it shares a lot of transparency um 148 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: to what the House is already been doing in terms 149 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: of investigation. And as we've seen, we've seen a number 150 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: of Republican officials, particularly those who are still in this administration, 151 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: not short for hearing. So that's just kind of really 152 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: puts a bowl on that and requires them to do 153 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: so or else they will be held in content. But 154 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: my sources at the White House, Matt Brooks, uh, they 155 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: tell me, well, it's not you know, there's nothing to 156 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: comply with. There's there's been no formal articles of impeachment 157 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: that have been brought forward at this point, and the 158 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: hearings are are not yet public. So they've been essentially 159 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: saying it's you know, we're not gonna this is just oversight, 160 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: So that that's their reasoning that No, I think and 161 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: and you know, I think that there's some merit to 162 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: some of the claims at this juncture about executive privilege, 163 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: and ultimately that may or may not be adjudicated uh 164 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: in the courts. But but look, you know, the reality 165 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: is this is all a contrived kabuki dance on the 166 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: part of the House leadership. We all know that we're 167 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: going to move forward with impeachment. We all know this 168 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: train has left the station, and this handwringing in this 169 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: angst and you know, all this other stuff is just 170 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: a charade when when the train is already moving. It 171 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: is what I'm confident, man, I'm confident in my leader, 172 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: the majority whip, who has the responsibile to count to vote, 173 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: Jim Claver, and I'm very confident in his political students 174 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: in order to gather the information. So that is a 175 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: home run hit, not a single uh to get on base, 176 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: but a home run hit. And from what we've seen 177 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: this to this point, it is undoubtedly sure that there's 178 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: something in the milk and clean, as we say in 179 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: South Carolina where I'm from, something something in the milk 180 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: ain't clean. It's a Southern thing and clean. That means 181 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: that something's not right. Based on a number of things 182 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: we've seen, especially Um, the testimonies we've heard, and when 183 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: you all say behind closed doors, you and not both 184 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: know that these are rules the Republicans put in place. 185 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: I e. Is the reason why trade Gudy doing being ghazi. 186 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: Um kicked out a member of his own party last week. 187 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: They just walked through the the closed doors Stephanie Grisham. 188 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: Stephanie Grisham. The White House is Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham. 189 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: She released a statement that says, quote, we won't be 190 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: able to comment fully until we see the actual text, 191 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: but Speaker Pelosi is finally admitting, with the rest of 192 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: America already knew Democrats were conducting and authorized impeachment proceeding, 193 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: refusing to give the president due process, and their secret 194 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: shady closed door depositions are completely and irreversibly illegitimates. So 195 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: the White House, you know, sticking by what they're They're 196 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: continued response to this, let's hear from House Intel Chairman 197 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: Schiff Adam Schiff, did you hear? Do you guys catch 198 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: what he had to say because he was asked the 199 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: Democrat from California he was asked earlier today about really 200 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: John Bolton and President Trump's ousta national security advisor, John Bolton, 201 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: who will not appear before a Democratic led congressional impeachment 202 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: inquiry as he waits for a court ruling on whether 203 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: he can testify, so that ruling is set to happen. 204 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: I guess over the next couple of weeks. But John Bolton, 205 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: who acts US is saying, is writing a book. UH 206 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: could get caught up in this. Take a listen to 207 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: what Adam Schiff had to say about all of this. 208 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: And if they do, and they failed to appear, they 209 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: will be building a very powerful case against the president 210 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: for obstruction. UH an article of impeachment based on obstruction. Now, 211 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: what I just don't understand is that when the when 212 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: the transcript got released. And I don't want to litigate, 213 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: obviously you're going to tell me that you don't think 214 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: that there was anything impeachable or to be removed from office, 215 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: and as I will disagree with you. But what I don't, 216 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: what I procedurally don't understand, is why they didn't just 217 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: have the vote after that transcript got released. Because I 218 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: don't think anyone is really going to change their mind. 219 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: Any elected official is going to change their mind throughout 220 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: this process now, and that's why I sort of called 221 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: it this, this kabuki dance with them going through the 222 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: motions of this, I can assure you as good a 223 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: vote counter as Jim Clyburne is. Every single Democrat is 224 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: going to vote to it. There's not gonna be one 225 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: that doesn't vote to impeach the president of the the United States. 226 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: So I can do the whip count right here, right 227 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: now today, Uh, and pretty pretty confident of of you 228 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: know the result and so um you know at the 229 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: end of the day. Um, you know you asked the 230 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: right question, keV. I mean, this is this is a process. 231 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: But you know, this is where it starts to get 232 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: complicated for the Democrats because time is not their friend 233 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: right now, and so they have a window coming up, 234 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: which is the beginning of the year when it's political season. 235 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: In earnest we start with the primaries and the Democratic side, 236 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: we start with the whole campaign focus, and they do 237 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: not want this to be seen as a political attack 238 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: to undermine the president in an election. Here, let's start 239 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: breaking the speed living a little bit. Here, let's sload 240 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: this car down. The fact that the mat is Democrats, 241 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: especially those in swing districts, have been very clear they 242 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: want transparency about the process. So they want to gather information. 243 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: That's why you've seen a vote for an inquiry, not 244 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: necessarily impeachment. And so I'm not sure that you're gonna 245 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: get an impeachment vote for everyone. All right, We're gonna 246 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this more Coming up, We're gonna 247 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: pivot to foreign policy up next. Uh and and the 248 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: killing of of ISIS leader Baghdatti. Uh.

Big developments, gentlemen. Yesterday when the President delivering 265 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: a major speech about the killing of ISIS leader abdu 266 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: Bakr al Baghdati, and it was, uh, it comes at 267 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: a time, as I was reporting earlier on Bloomberg Television, 268 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: it comes at a time in which the President has 269 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: faced some criticism on the foreign policy front from the 270 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: likes of Senator Lindsey Graham. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Davis 271 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: walked back some of their criticism with the making permanent 272 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: of the ceasefire between Turkey and Syria. But Abou al 273 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: Baghdatti bad guy, mad guy, and the President got some praise, 274 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: got some praise from Democrats. It was tepid, it was measured, 275 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: but but there was a there was a appraising not 276 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,479 Speaker 1: just of the President but also of the brave military 277 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: men and women and the service members who carried out 278 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: that account map. Yeah, and and look at you know, 279 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: anybody who has to sit in that che and make 280 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: that call, especially with the intricacies of this particular mission, 281 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: flying over multiple hostile areas and and putting our you know, 282 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: arm brave soldiers at risk. It's it's a tough call 283 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: to make and he made the right decision and we 284 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: got the right results. Uh, And it could very well 285 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: have gone, you know, the other way. We've seen multiple 286 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: examples of that in the past, the most notable one 287 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter trying to rescue our our hostages. So it's 288 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: not a foregone conclusion that it's a successful mission. In 289 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: this case, it was. And we took out a guy 290 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: who uh not only is is one of the most 291 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: unrepentant terrorists around, but has you know, American blood on 292 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: his hand, and so good rittens and uh, I think 293 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: do you think the president uh, you know, is gonna 294 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: temper some of his critics uh in the Republican Party 295 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: for his uh pull out of Syria with this his 296 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: renewed commitment to stand up and make sure Isis doesn't 297 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: get a foothold back into that area. And as you said, 298 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: the ultimately the ceasefire between the Kurds and the Turks. 299 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: I remember where I was in the Obama when in 300 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: the Obama White House, I was. I was still a 301 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: student in college, and I believe I was I had 302 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: just gotten home from some type of breaking and just 303 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: when when ben Laden was killed and just what that 304 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: meant for so many people. Just I mean you you that. 305 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: That's when immediately this news yesterday made me recall was 306 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: just you felt that this Valdimort figure from your from 307 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: that hungover not just American culture, but global culture was gone. Uh, 308 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: and that that's where your mind goes, I think. And 309 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: and it was one of those rare moments aswanse right 310 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: yesterday where you feel like America is winning against ISIS terrorists. 311 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: I felt it then I felt good about yesterday. I 312 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: want to thank ill service men who put their life 313 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: in a every single day so that we can just 314 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: have the ability to be Unfortunately, you hate to insert 315 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: politics into this, but it's here. But there's some procedures 316 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: and some historical things Traditionally that a president of steps 317 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: the president would take you notify the Congress, which did 318 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: not happen. I think you've seen that some Democrats, including 319 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: pelosim barking a by that. And then you had even 320 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: some of the president's cheerleaders rightfully saying that he praised 321 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: Russia before he praised the serviceman, and he continued to 322 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: praise Russia in his h Sunday morning address before he 323 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: even praise other allies and even our Seriesmen this country, 324 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: and that just feeds into a narrator. I'm not trying 325 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: to assert politics, but no, I want to. I want to. 326 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: I wanta pause because we have a sound bite and 327 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: I want to I want to try that. Uh what 328 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned notifying Congress, Well, well, it's let's back it 329 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: up you previous You just mentioned the president thanking Russia 330 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: and Turkey for their role in this. Now the President 331 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: has said for quite some time that he's going to 332 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,959 Speaker 1: work with Russia, work with Turkey on areas where they can. 333 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: It's no question. It's it's known that previous administrations as 334 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: it relates, especially in this region, have worked with Russia 335 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: in the past, including your former boss, Hilary Clinton. Bo wait, 336 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: bo wait. I do want to read this new report 337 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: from CNN because a senior States Department official has told 338 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: CNN just within the last fifteen minutes that Syrian democratic forces, 339 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: the Koords played a key role, a key role and 340 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: I see a shaking your head there, key role in 341 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: working with the US forces to carry out this particular 342 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: uh attack. You also mentioned about the President not notifying Congress, Well, 343 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: the President was asked about that, and uh, well, let's 344 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: take a listen to what he said on why he 345 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: didn't notify members of Congress here he is. They were 346 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: talking about why didn't I give the information to Adam 347 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: Schiff and his committee and the answers, because I think 348 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff is the biggest lenker in Washington. You know, 349 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: I hear you, Mr I hear you, Mr President, I 350 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: hear you. However, there's just something we call history and 351 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: president when it comes to these things, and what happens 352 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: if it's a democratic president next and this thing goes wrong, 353 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: it goes south, or what if this mission went south? 354 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: We would not be having the same conversation. That's why 355 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, whether you 356 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: agree with the persons in power, not that there's just 357 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 1: some historical reason. I have a question. Go ahead, so 358 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: but but I got a breaking newsflash for you. We 359 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: may need. This is gonna be big. It will be 360 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: and and Antoine sit down for this because it's gonna 361 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: blow you away. But the reality is the playbook that 362 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: they give you after you swear on the Bible and 363 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: you sit in the Oval office for the first time, 364 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: about how do you act in what you do as president? 365 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: The first thing this president is through it in the trash. 366 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: It should be of no surprise at this That's my point. 367 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: That's the point, should be no surprise that this guy 368 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: doesn't do what other presidents and how they do it. 369 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: And you know, he's his own guy in marches to 370 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: his own beat, and you know, uh he is, uh, 371 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: that's who he is, does it right? Well, you know? 372 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: But I also think there's a broader question and and 373 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: for take off your your part isn't hatch just for 374 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: a second here, I think there's a broader question when 375 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: you have so Answin literally just took off this idea. 376 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: I think there's a broader question when you have members 377 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: of Congress walking into the shift, uh, the skith, the 378 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: secure facility. And and then obviously there there are a 379 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: ton of leaks that it's not unique to either party. 380 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean when it relates to matters of national security. 381 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: Maybe in this new age where there's everyone leaking, that 382 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: there's I don't know, I mean, maybe we have to 383 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: relook at coming from his White House. My friend, I'm 384 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: talking to just as many senior Democratic sources. No, no, no, 385 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: but but but to the point, we've seen leaks on 386 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: both sides. Yeah, I agreed. All right, coming up, we're 387 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: gonna check in with Congressman John Garamendi, Democrat from California. 388 00:21:52,920 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: Panel stays, I'm Kevin CURRELLI.

A brush 397 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: fire fan by Santa Anna Winds erupted in the hills 398 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: above the four oh five Freeway early Monday, burning homes 399 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: and forcing evacuations and neighborhoods on Los Angeles' west side. 400 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: What's the latest?

Well, California is burning, uh, northern California. 402 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: One of the fires over fifty thousand acres up in 403 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: the Sonoma Napa area. We're talking about serious vineyards and 404 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: serious wineries that have already burned. In southern California, yep, 405 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about what's known as the Getty Fire. We're 406 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: talking about the the ultra rich in the in the 407 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: hills there overlooking the San Fernando Valley as well as 408 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: Santa Monica. So, yes, we're seeing fires everywhere, and it 409 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: is fire season, but this year seems to be even 410 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: more difficult than in the past. The winds were extraordinary 411 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: over the weekend at our ranch up in northern California, 412 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: Sierra Foothels, we had winds that were easily in the 413 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: fifty six and of course power was shut down. And 414 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: that's the story for most of northern California and southern 415 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: California the same. Traditionally, Southern California does have the winds 416 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: this time of years and anna winds and oh here 417 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: we go. It's it's a dangerous time of year for California. 418 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: Five acres acres being impacted as of now by these fires, 419 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: and according to the local reports, a cause not immediately determined. 420 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: No injuries as of now have been reported. Congressman Switching Gears, Uh, 421 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: you're a member of the House Armed Services Committee. There's 422 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: been a lot of discussion today about the U S 423 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: killing of ISIS terrorists. Uh Abu Bakr alba al Baghdati, Uh, 424 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: and I wanted to get your response on the conversations 425 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: that have been swirling around Washington, d C. And by 426 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: some of your colleagues about how the President conducted this 427 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: and where where the fight goes from here. Well, the 428 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: good news is how bad Daddy is dead, uh. And 429 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: it was really a joint effort of the Intelligence Services 430 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: working with the courage um in the area r c I, 431 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: a right Defense intelligen it's various assets that we have 432 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: as well as the Iraqi. So a very good result 433 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: from a very long and in many cases a very 434 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: painful process of trying to take out the guy that 435 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: was the leader of ISIS. The rest of the story 436 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: is ISIS is an ideology. It's more than just a leader, 437 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: just as al Qaeda. Uh is an ideology. We took 438 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: out the leader of al Qaeda, but we didn't That 439 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: did not end al Qaeda. And unfortunately, the good news 440 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: is we took out bag Daddy, and that's unfortunately not 441 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: the end of vices. Somebody else will pick it up 442 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: and carry it forward because it's an ideology. Have you 443 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: have you as the ceasefire has been made permanent according 444 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: to the White House and Vice President Mike Penson, Secretary Pompeo, 445 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: as you now with a weekend, settle into this permanent 446 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: ceasefire between Syria, UH and and Northern Syria or Syria, 447 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: Turkey and the Kurds. Are you satisfied with the ceasefire 448 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: or do you think hearings are going to be necessary 449 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: to further examine the ceasefire? The cards we now are 450 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: hearing of va CNN. We were very helpful to the 451 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: United States and carrying out the killing of Albagdatti. So 452 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: the ceasefire has it eased some of your concerns? No, 453 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: not at all. UH. The bottom line of this is 454 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: that Trump dumped our ally and through our ally under 455 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: the treads of the Turkish tanks. That's exactly what happened. 456 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: Those are the same allies that helped us find al 457 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: bagh Daddy, the leader of ISIS. Those are the same 458 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: people that fought for five years the side by side 459 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: with American Special Operation Forces IS as well as our 460 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: air force to push h to terminate the Isis Caliphate, 461 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: and no sooner was that job done than Trump dumped 462 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: him UH, and they are we have ethnic cleansing going 463 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: on in northern Syria. The Curds are being run out. 464 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: Turkey is bringing in displaced uh Syrians from other parts 465 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: of the Syrian country and putting them in the communities 466 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: at the Curds once and once lived. And so we 467 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: have a terrible situation there. And now we are protecting oil. 468 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: And so Trump said a couple of months ago that 469 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: it's all about oil. Oil is wealth, Oil is new gold. 470 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: And so now what are we doing. We're protecting oil, 471 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: not only in Syria. We're certainly not protecting the Curds. 472 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: We're also protecting oil in Saudi Arabia. So what we've 473 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: become is basically a for higher force to protect oil 474 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: and the other critical interests that we have stability in 475 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: the region, UH, protecting people that are certainly going to 476 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: be in harm's way, the Curds UH, and being in 477 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: a position to negotiate the future of Syria. We have 478 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: no role any longer in the future of Syria. Russia 479 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: a trific wind for putin no doubt about it. Once again, 480 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: Trump is handed putin a terrific wind because it is 481 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: the Russians and Assad, known as the Butcher to patrol 482 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: northern and the United States has gone We're no longer 483 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: relevant there. So you have Turkey putin Russia and Assad 484 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: controlling that area, and they're the ones that are going 485 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: to determine what happened. So count on Russia winning big. 486 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: Congressman John Garamundi joined us. He's a Democrat from California. 487 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: We're talking all things about the latest on foreign policy. 488 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: We also got his take on the fires. Congressman, before 489 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: I let you go, the big development in domestic political 490 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: matters over the past hour and a half has been 491 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House and Nancy Pelosi. I'm sure you 492 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: got her letter. She just wrote you and your colleagues 493 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: and said that on Thursday, there's going to be this 494 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: this vote regarding the impeachment inquiry. I gotta be candid here. 495 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the vote is actually on. Could 496 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: you give us some guidance on number one, which you're 497 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: actually voting on, as it relates to the impeachment and 498 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: what it might mean for the trajectory of the impeachment inquiry. Basically, 499 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: as I understand that the vote is going to confirm 500 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: what we're already doing, and that is conducting these investigations, 501 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: gathering the data, gathering the information, and authorizing hearings based 502 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: upon the information that has been gathered. Uh. I have 503 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: not seen final language. I would hope it would also 504 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: provide an opportunity to pick up the Mueller Report. There's 505 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 1: a lot that needs to be followed up on that 506 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: with the question of obstruction of justice, but clearly it 507 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: will be on the Ukraine matter and it will move us. UH. 508 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: It will confirm the depositions and the hearings that are 509 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: taking place in which the Republicans have had every opportunity 510 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: to participate. Republicans are members of those committees, so all 511 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: of this whining about not participating just isn't a factorial matter. 512 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: And beyond that, I'm sure it will move us into 513 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: the open public hearings based upon the testimony that's been 514 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: received in depositions. Well, then I'm sure I'll bumpings you 515 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: into the once those hearing hearings get under a.

And I'm sorry, I'm trying these 544 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: single worst sports town in America. What Washington? Okay, come on, no, 545 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: I will say Redskins fans know how to tailgate. Not 546 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: as good as us, but they do. They have really 547 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: good This is not only the capital of government, but 548 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: it's the capital of fair weather fan. I can feel 549 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: the glare of Christine Morada, our executive producer, being like, 550 00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: get back on track and stay focused. But the booing incident. 551 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: So President Trump he arrived at the game, and there 552 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: were reportedly chants of quote, lock him up. There were 553 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: some booze. Hogan Goodley, one of the spokespeople for the president, 554 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: was asked about this earlier today at the White House. 555 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: Take a listen to what Hogan said. I know that 556 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: there were some people here cheering as well, but listeners, Washington, 557 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: d C. It's a it's a pretty liberal town. But 558 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: the president is a big baseball fan. And did you 559 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: guys see what Donald Trump Jr. Tweeted? This is did 560 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: you did you see the sandspot? I don't. I don't 561 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: think you're gonna like this, he said, quote I'll take 562 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: booze from the leftist DC fan base and cheers from 563 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: the great men and women of the United States Armed 564 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: Forces any day of the week. Don't boom vote, but 565 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: there's a week you do both. Look, I think there's 566 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: a way. Wow, I don't think. I don't. I mean, 567 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: you can boo to show your frustration, but make sure 568 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: you turn those booze into boohoo's at the poles and 569 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: show up and vote. Let me just one one point, 570 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: because we you know, Anton and I have all advised 571 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: candidates and stuff like that. Any candidate, any elected official 572 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: who shows up that a sporting event gets booed, period. 573 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 1: Barack Obama absolutely got booed at Park. Absolutely. That's why 574 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 1: they don't throw out the Eagles get booed by me 575 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: if they're playing bad at the link. That's why they 576 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: don't drop the hockey puck. That's why they don't throw 577 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: out first picture, because they know they're gonna get booed. 578 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: That's what sports people don't want their politicians at the 579 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: Always think of that Aron Sorkin West Wing episode where 580 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: President Bartlett is practicing because he's so nervous because he 581 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: can't throw a baseball. Remember that, it's a great episode. Okay, 582 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to finish up on before 583 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: I get what's on your radar? The dog. Have you 584 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: guys been following this the canine, the hero canine that 585 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 1: was part of the raid on albac Dotti. You know, Kevin, 586 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: we don't deserve dogs sometimes. I mean, look, this dog 587 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: is a hero there. He did hobnoestly what in some 588 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: way and I don't know the inner workings that honestly 589 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: a woman or a man in uniform couldn't do. He 590 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: went in the dirt. I commend that dog for doing that, 591 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: which probably that's the quote of the show. Ko in 592 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: New York just put in our group, Chap, we don't 593 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: deserve dogs. Though agreeing with you, h and President Trump. Well, 594 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: President Trump tweeted, we have declassified a picture of the 595 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: wonderful dog name not dis class declassified that did such 596 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: a great job in capturing and killing the leader of Isis, 597 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: Abubakr al bag Daddy. But they and then he has 598 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: a picture of this dog. It's it's it's really been 599 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: the viral moment of the day because no one knows 600 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: that the name is declassified. Now there's mystery Matt as 601 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: to why isn't the name declassified? But hey, I'm not 602 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: asking questions if they I mean, I am asking questions. 603 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: But if they don't want to declassify the name of 604 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: the dog, then hey, more power to the dog. It's Washington. 605 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: It'll leak out eventually as whoever, whoever, whoever is breeding 606 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: those dogs are gonna have a good Christmas. I think 607 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: it is. I really think it is really cool to 608 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: just to see service animals and all of the hard 609 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: work that they do and their trainers do and whatnot. 610 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: All right, Map Brooks, what's on your radar? So, I, 611 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: like lots of people, we've been watching with tremendous interest 612 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: and some degree of frustration the uh ongoing election saga 613 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: and Israel We've now had two elections that we still 614 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: don't have a clear mandate for UH either Blue and 615 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 1: White UH Benny Gantz's party or or le COUD headed 616 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: by Prime Minister Nitt and Yahoo to get enough seats 617 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: to actually get a controlling interest and become prime minister. 618 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: And and so there's some speculation and some talk that 619 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: this is going to lead to a third election if 620 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: it's deadlocked. UH. My prediction and I believe what will 621 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: happen is that UH there will be some sort of 622 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: agreement between Blue and White and LUKUD, some power sharing arrangement. 623 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: My prediction is is net and Yahoo will stay on 624 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,919 Speaker 1: as Prime minister for a year, then Dance for two 625 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 1: and then BB for another UH year for the term, 626 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: and then we'll see where things go from there. But 627 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: I think this will be resolved before a third election. 628 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: As crazy as our politics are, Israel and the UK 629 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: make us look like c s Man uhar. Two things, 630 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: The Liberty in Justice event in Iowa on Friday, thirteen 631 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: thousand people, fourteen candidates, two hundred and fifty credited UH 632 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: press persons will be in Iowa for their big annual 633 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 1: party dinner. Iowa is the first date, not the most 634 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: important state, but the first date and democratic nominating process. 635 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm looking for that, and I'm looking at the qualifications 636 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: for the next not the next but the following democratic debate, 637 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 1: which will be November. The deadline is octobery. No, I'm sorry, 638 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: the December debate. The deadline is October, and so far 639 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: only three candidates have qualified, uh Biden, Warren, Sanders. Uh. 640 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: So time is of the essence. There are some to 641 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: your point on it, just how important Iowa is. Uh, 642 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: there's some new polls out that have uh, Elizabeth Warren 643 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: with an eight point lead over the rest of the 644 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 1: field in Iowa. People to judge be eating Joe Biden 645 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: in Iowa. So but Biden looking like he's struggling in Iowa. 646 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: Al Right, So that that's interesting. Keeping an eye on that. 647 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: What's on my radar? President Trump earlier today, blink and 648 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: you'll miss it, saying that Phase one of that US 649 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: China trade deal could be signed in Chile. Take a 650 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: listen to President Trump. Here is whereabout. I would say 651 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of head of schedule, maybe a lot 652 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: of head of schedule, probably will sign it. So look, 653 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: I mean more some more positive rhetoric coming from President 654 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 1: Trump with regards to the US China trade talks. Tomorrow 655 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,479 Speaker 1: tomorrow on Capitol Hill, there's a big Boeing hearing. We'll 656 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: have the latest on that.
