so i think what you re seeing about buttigieg could turn out to be extreme, extremely important and significant advantage that he has, if he can execute what he laid out today. yeah. donald trump is very good at taking all positions on a given issue but he s especially good at doing that when it comes to foreign policy. he ran as this noninterventionist very much opposed to the iraq war. he started his presidency by talking about fire and fury in north korea and now he s really backed off and is talking about beautiful letters kim jong-un is sending him. on the other side he s using much of the same rhetoric when it comes to iran talking about the possibility of a conflict there. democrats don t know what foreign policy trump they are going to run against. the american people might not know what foreign policy trump is running in 2020. to the extent they put up somebody who can talk about issues authoritatively and joe biden can speak to some of these
this is not something that was achieved when republicans controlled everything in washington. and now of course democrats control the house. no doubt it remains a very thorny and complicated issue. nancy pelosi will be sitting behind the president for the state of the union. that will be an interesting optic when we see the speaker of the house behind the president for the address. it s always interesting to keep an eye on facial expressions of everyone in the room. no doubt! kind of like super bowl commercials! thank you. thank you. and this might hinder the success or failure of a select group of 17 lawmakers. they might decide the fate of the presidents request for a border wall. senior capitol producer, chad pergram explains. is called a conference committee. a group of bipartisan, lawmakers selected to serve because of their expertise on a given issue. this is what prompts a conference committee.
romney, but i feel we are a ways away from that. i don t know what a stage of intervention means in this case. he is who he is. what do you want republicans to do with president trump in an intervention? well, i think somebody has to march down pennsylvania avenue, and presumably republican leaders and say this is an unsustainable situation. it cannot continue this way, the insulting of allies, the constant name calling, and the unpresidential behavior. just the way he negotiates. i mean, you can t he can t disturbance nobody can speak on his behalf. it s difficult to negotiate, because you just don t know where he is going to come down on a given issue. i don t know if this will change anything, but somebody needs to get in his face about it and maybe more than one person, and i think that would be helpful. will it change anything?
independent personalities in politics for quite a long time. on one hand you have a man who spent six decades in service to the united states of america from his time in the military to the house of representatives and the u.s. senate and two bits for the u.s. presidency. mccain is nothing if not an american icon. not just in the confines of the u.s. border but globally pursued for making sure democracy and freedom and individual liberty rained across the globe. trying to write as he has such a problem with him. as mccain has said, the president s own personality, the fact that he crossed the s policies. let s look at this. here s something to know between the two of them. mccain is someone who would not ever shy away from giving his personal opinion were telling how he felt regardless of how you felt when i was covering capitol hill i was the son a couple occasions. he is someone who did not shy away from telling you exactly how he felt on a given issue.
said he didn t remember asking andrew mccabe who he had voted for and said if he had, he didn t think that was really there was no problem with that. do you believe there was a problem with that and if you do, can you explain to people why you might have a problem with that? you mean, if asking a civil servant how they voted? yeah. yeah, i mean, look, i ve been in the u.s. congress now for nearly 14 years. i can t remember any time i asked a civil servant how he or she voted or for that matter anybody else who came into my office to talk to me about a given issue. i never asked. i never thought it was my business. this speaks to the issue of what are limits of propriety? i remember a few months ago the president got into some trouble, went to a boy scouts jamboree and gave a campaign speech to the bow scouty scouts. i ve been involved with the boy
