All right, bolo, be on the lookout, the Trump Administration dodging yet another situation to provide justification for taking out iranian general soleimani. They abruptly canceled four classified congressional briefings. Hardly any explanation. Two from the state department and one from the pentagon, another one from the fbi. Potus and aides keep saying they had to do it. They have the proof. They have the intel. Specific to four u. S. Embassies. Even his own defense secretary and state Departm...

Actions were justified. As long as im president of the United States, iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. As i speak to you this morning from the white house, we continue to receive word that iran is standing down. The question is, should the United States be at war with iran . President trump, in a series of backandforth escalations in the last 18 months, has brought us to that place. I think its unfortunate that so Many Democrats are making the question of the imminence of thi...

Thats right. Lets start with the democrats. Senator Bernie Sanders, a big impressive number, raising about 34. 5 million in the Fourth Quarter of last year. Thats a quarter that began with him being sidelined from the campaign trail because of a heart attack. If you look at what weve known so far among the democratic candidates, thats a number that leads the candidates. Buttigieg 24. 7 million, andrew yang, 16. 5 million, tulsi gabbard, 3. 4 million, all of the candidates are still below what we...

Murkowski collins matter because republicans do need them to vote yes on kavanaugh for them to be comfortable that this will go forward. there are some other democrats potentially in play, but they will be less in play if we knew where senator lisa murkowski and susan collins stood and if both of them were unwilling to go forward its unlikely you would see those democrats standing up and making the difference. the pressure is on them. i think we should look to senator susan collins to take the l...

>> juan: dana, what im struck by some documents still not released and yet the republicans say this is a done deal and they would rather talk about cory booker. >> dana: this whole document thing is a ploy to try to avoid having to deal with the real thing. they dont have the votes to block judge kavanaugh. judge kavanaugh did not do anything during the hearing that would put senator paul, senator murkowski or senator collin off of their plan to vote for him at least not that they have said. so,...
