Intellectual Rigor News Today

Im bret baier. Breaking tonight the biden administration is under fire over its chaotic withdrawal of u. S. Troops from afghanistan. A new report from the republicans on the house of foreign Affairs Committee accuses the White House of misleading and even lying to the american public. Vice president Kamala Harris and her democratic colleagues are trying to blame former president Donald Trump for the afghanistan disaster. That is not stopping the issue from playing a role in the president ial cam...

Stand all that and still get to the truth. whats disconcerting to me is i think some republicans in all of this are using the same intellectual rigger they used in the benghazi conspiracy mindset, which is not a lot of intellectual rigor and its hurting the process and unfair and makes the president look worse. >> look, youre no stranger to how the law enforcement works. one thing that sticks out here, devin nunes, these reports that his name is on this memo and he didnt even look at the classif...

I will say that those on the senate intelligence committee, richard burr and mark warner are working hand in glove together and showing a lot of integrity of pursuing the investigation. you will not get a wider investigation. we have to say something else. president trump is bringing the same intellectual rigor to the russian hacking investigation that he brought to the birther lie that he perpetuated into national prominence against president obama. he has the blind spot and conspiracy theory t...

Hopes and practiced a boys version of empathy. important counteremotional skills to develop, empathy alongside aggression and curiosity. >> yeah. i think that is a, some people think a rare combination. but i think everyone who works with any one of the three brothers recognizes that were incredibly warm, were incredibly loyal to people who work with us, we give them a lot of responsibility. but were also hyper-competitive, we set goals, we push people. i dont think thats that much of a contradi...

And anyone who understands the immoveable bedrock of church doctrine should not be surprised. the left just doesnt get it. stand by for an equally distorted comparison to how pope pius xii dealt with the nazis in the second world war. given the liberal bent of many jesuit, especially in latin america, it is safe to say that these men, often regarded at the shock troops of the church, may have reacted with dismay over the selection, but with due respect, intellectual rigor, rather than humility h...

>> the american people voted for action. not politics as usual. >> will he find enough allies on capitol hill to do it? >> four star general david petraeus stepped down today. he wrote, after being married for over 37 years, i showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extra marital affair. such behavior is unacceptable as the husband and as the leader of an organization such as hours. this afternoon the president graciously accepted my resignation. general petraeus told the president of h...

I lay out those facts, as well, in terms of these events leading up to his resignation. >>trace: stand by, we got a statement from the president of the united states reading as follows: david pet address -- petraeus has provided extraordinary service for decades one of the outstanding general officers of his generation helping our military adapt to nuchals and leading our men and women in uniform through a remarkable period of service in iraq and afghanistan where he helped our nation put those ...

Attracting youthful voters, in terms of the excitement of sarah palin? is this candidate going to attract that same kind of excitement over time? >> i think there are a lot of parallels to sarah palin in the sense that he is exciting, is he young, he is attractive, is he energizing the base. both the conservative base and tea party base which is really important. is he a fresh face. so i think those are the positives. and then on the plus side for ryan, i also think is he more substantive than s...

Outlook for the future here. americas history in the region is long but its also short sided. even as america has a more robust commitment to the war now, i sense a certain weariness and even doubt about what is ultimately possible here with deep debates about whether nation building can work and whether the conflict will end in anything other than stalemate. general petraeus is a military leader with great commitment and great intellectual rigor but you have to wonder whether he has enough time...
