he has been flexing his muscles showing the voting public that france is his own man. brian: tell me if this is correct. angela merkel is going to be leaving the scene. she was the basic leader of europe. and he wants to be the guy now. he wants to be the one in charge, correct? oh, yeah. definitely. that s one of the reasons why he talks about the fact that europe needs to take on more of its own responsibility in terms of defense and its future and protection. that s why he is floated the idea in addition to natos have a european joint military force. i think macron is really trying to position himself here as sort of the moral center of nato, at least the european part of it. and i think merkel is to some degree getting pushed to the sidelines. brian: i would love to see him show the same courage with the iranian protesters being shot in cold blood simply because they are without a job and don t want to pay double the price for gas. they are being shot in the street. but, instead,
ludicrous. republicans wrote 110 pages in their report contesting it, not to mention the endless hours of cross-examination, contesting the knowledge and credibility of the various witnesses in schiff s hearing. the only thing new that i picked out of yesterday s was this communication between devin nunes and rudy giuliani and the white house. in what way, if any, is that problematic? we just don t know. we don t know the details. in fact, it s a call log. does that mean that devin nunes was actually on the call or somebody else? and we don t know the import of it. you know, frankly, i don t trust adam schiff. he has a long and distinguished track record of deception and lies. i lay it out in my book. he lied about the dossier. he lied about bruce ohr. he lied about evidence of collusion. and, of course, we saw him lie at the beginning, the first hearing in to impeachment in which he made up a narrative that didn t exist.
these? brian: size 10 eee. call on. brian: i don t know what kind of. you don t do this on hannity plus we have never seen your pants on hannity. homeless problem i spilling over state lines. why suing bill de blasio. our boots are going to walk all over you tech: so you think this chip is nothing to worry about? well at safelite, we know sooner or later
counter cigarettes. stolen car rings. we know how to deal with that kind of mafia style financing. steve: while it seems as if the congress, house is paralyzed by impeachment. important pieces of else got to get done. that s funding the military. first time in 58 years we do not have a defense authorization. you will hear the term, steve, from the democrats called a continuing resolution that keeps the lights on but it doesn t allow the pentagon to buy anything new. no new investments in artificial intelligence no, new ships no, new planes. it s really devastating to our military and the men and women overseas right now deserve better. meanwhile the chinese aren t funding their military this way. they are tripling their funding. steve: chinese don t have impeachment going on. no they do not. president xi is not worried about it. steve: colonel, thanks so
