about lindsay graham? he supports immigration reform. he won his primary in south carolina last night. this is more complex than just immigration reform. lindsay went back to south carolina every weekend. people would see him at picnics and at the fairs. eric s around the country helping other republicans. and he s viewed as part of the leadership, and leadership today is the establishment. and people are mad at the establishment. tom davis, jackie, luke, chuck, thank you all so much. chuck s morning interview on the daily rundown with david brat, brat learned a lesson for the rest of his political career, all policy issues, domestic and foreign, are now on the table. let me ask you about something, a foreign policy question. arming the syrian rebels. would you be in favor of that, with u.s. military helping to arm the moderate hey, chuck, i thought we were going to chat about the celebratory aspect. i would love to go through all this, but my mind is
says something more about the politics in this country right now than it does about bergdahl himself. yeah. i think one of the things that seems surprising is people focused a lot, i agree with you, i think his platoon mates have every reason to be really, really angry with him about the leaving. what s been interesting is also the anger around his anxieties and doubts about the war. is that something that is uncommon, for these guys who have been out there on multiple tours of duty, who see the war firsthand, to express doubt or express even anger about the war? i don t know if he was a multiple tours. i m not sure. the guys that i was with, i was at a remote outpost off and on for a year with a platoon in a lot of combat. and i, you know, i got to say i never once heard them talk about the rationale for the war or how it was going. they were very focused on how it was going for them at that outpost and what their chances were of getting out of there alive. the larger picture, the
murdered that night and nobody has answered for it yet. and we can t let this go until we get the truth of what happened do you think the people of this country the broad base of people are going to vote on the basis of benghazi? i mean, i care deeply about it and i know you do as well. yeah. they re voting on gallup poll a few weeks ago demonstrates this again jobs in the economy. going to talk about this next segment. the more republicans kind of latch on to the foreign policy question and make this about putin or ukraine or egypt or libya, i say it s a real risk that we go back to what mccain tried to do in 2008 which was a collosal flop or to what some extent romney tried to do in the last election rather than focus on jobs, economy, obama care, a new growth agenda for america and that middle class that you talked about so powerfully in your first presidential run. bringing that middle class back versus more of the foreign policy focus. if we can communicate to the working cl
of the united states. let s stand together on this. president obama spoke by phone dood with the leaders of germany, poland, and the ukraine about the situation. thanks for the report from washington. so we now know that secretary of state john kerry will visit ukraine this week. it s an important sign of solidarity with the ukrainian people. but what else should the u.s. be doing? how is the president handling this, the latest crisis? responding to russian president vladimir putin. here are our political insiders, john lubeaueaut ley, pat caddela pollster for jimmy carter, and doug sho00, a pollster for bill clinton and a fox news contributor as well. good evening. thank you for being here. pat, you join us on remote, but you will not be left out of the conversation because i m going to start with you and ask you, this is the latest foreign policy question for our president, who is already under fire for some say not having a policy, some saying being weak
it. the other thing, nondefense discretionary spending has actually grown less under obama than defense has. i mean, people forget sequestration applies to everything else other than entitlements and obama has proposed basically that the extra $50 billion he s asked for will be split between the pentagon and all the other agencies. and, you know, even with the budget this year that, you know, hagel s budget under sequestration, that only brings us back to 2007 levels in real terms. so it s not like even going back to when dick cheney was secretary of defense. no, it s still post certainly a post-9/11 footing which is a terminology i know the vice president appreciates. before i let you go, real quick, on the foreign policy question, your reaction to this d.o.d. announcement today. regarding karzai. well, i think it s a smart move because let me tell you, i dealt with it, i was part of a team that went over there. he really thinks we want to stay more than he needs us.
