sure what they are negotiating with. is the president going to go back to the wall or be open and amenable to something more of a mixed bag and when you don t know what you are getting and all you are getting is this unclear demand for something border-related with nothing in exchange that was maybe on the table before, you don t know how much money to give or what sort of a deal to make. it s true this is not about that many dollars at this point and the macro scale of how big the federal budget is, but it s about staking your noernting positions and we are not just talking about numbers, but the border and border security and immigration and all kinds of things the parties have been at each other s throats for well over a decade. lindsey graham said trump is not signing anything without wall funding. listen. the one thing i know for sure that nothing will get out of the
we have to understand what is his plan. what is his policy? that s on the large macro scale. in terms of the democratic party, the democratic party has to really wrestle with where we are, where we thought was okay is not all right. that s not where the base is. that s not where the electorate is. we need to elevate new young voices in the party. the democratic party cannot win again without millennials. they have to be a vital part of the rebuilding process and come to the table from the rooter to the tutor as i like to say, at the beginning of the process. i m going to analyze that for a long time to figure out exactly what it means. i think i know. all right. stick around. a lot more to discuss. one of donald trump s promises was to defeat isis including to bomb the blank out of them. some in isis this morning are actually celebrating trump s victory. they refer to him as a donkey who will destroy america by
we also know that there are over 1,000 jihadists that have traveled from france into syria and obviously the point was raised this morning again about the ease of access within europe in terms of there being, you know, no limits to the way that people can travel through the various countries. so i think there s a lot of interesting pieces on a macro scale which should have led intelligence authorities to really be focusing on events like this and trying to sort of prevent them. mikey, let s talk about a few of the things you brought up. among them the ease of access you talk about it for travel. the lack of ease of access to automatic weapons like ak-47s which were apparently used. they had a number of extra clips. it seems to be very military in their form. yes, it does absolutely right. i was in lebanon in tripoli, speaking to the radical sheikh omar bakri about 12 months ago and he was describing to me the
accident investigator how one would approach even examining debris? well, there s, you know, items on the macro scale or large scale that we would be looking at but also things on the micro scale. so they would be looking at how the metal is deformed, what part of the airplane, the way it is bent, the angles, and also for some of the items, they re going to look at the smaller cracks and smaller lesions and so forth that that might be telling also. the bottom line is you have to get wreckage in your hand and decide what level they feel like they re going to need to look at it. say we know it isn t going to happen, for the sake of conversation, they find the debris, have it in their hand tomorrow. so that s three weeks it has been sitting and floating, you know, with marine life and sea water. would that damage it at all? well, absolutely. there certainly will be some damage. it depends what type of metal, steel versus aluminum versus
afghanistan. we don t want to make the troops vulnerable to kidnap knowing that the taliban would get results in terms of further release of prisoners. you have to be incredibly careful the way we go about this. on a macro scale it could be a good faith transaction. in 2012, the u.s. tried to negotiation with taliban and they were stopped because of the killing of 17 civilians. and then in 2013, an office set up in qa ta r and the taliban set up a flag of the islamic immigration of pakistan. and so i think this could lay foundations for broader negotiations in the political level which i personally think is what is required in order to take the problem of afghanistan beyond the withdrawal of the u.s. in 2014.
