Negotiations, you are a business guy. if you are negotiating with somebody, and you are trying to get them to do something they dont care about, china doesnt care about climate change. they dont care about emissions. we seem to be obsessed with that what does it do to their dynamics? we are demanding do something they dont care about. they are still holding out on that by the way. what are those back channel conversations sound like? sound like well the americans want us to stop polluting so muc...

Would use today. there is a big difference. there was a state of war in the �*80s. im notjustifying censorship. im notjustifying the state of emergency. but there was a real war. these days in nicaragua, there is no war. theres no civil war. there is just the state repressing the citizens. in the �*80s, there was the contra war, and there was the reagan finance of the contra war. ok, those were the justifications that i supported at those times. i think there were many errors during the �*...

Including censorship, and, well, i myself went through a process of self—criticism about... ..assuming our responsibilities, about what happened in the �*80s. and there was a transition, a democratic transition process, starting in 1990 in nicaragua, that lasted 17 years. and unfortunately, it failed. and i assumed my role as an independentjournalist during this transition process, and i ended up being expelled from barricada and from the fsln. yes, no, i know all of that and right now, of c...

On the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan and the policy moving forward. kylie atwood, let me come to you. we just saw congressman gerry connolly there speaking with congressman gregory meeks and congressman connolly was on with ana cabrera last hour and said he wants to hear a degree of self-reflection, self-criticism. when you read this opening statement, is there any in there? >> with regard to the opening statement, no, not really. i mean, it is very much a bold defense of the biden administra...

Crisis that we experienced, and then secondly, id like to hear him engage in some self-reflection and self-criticism about how the administration could have, should have, done better in the evacuation understanding that, you know, when you end a war, it is always chaotic. and i want to give them some credit for removing 120,000 people in the evacuation, but there are still tens of thousands left behind, and i want to know their status and what the plans are to try to help them. >> you sent a let...

Will attest to the reality of that failure, even if they are the generals and the national security advisors and the people who sit on corporate boards now and pontificate on tv even if they have a very different interpretation. this wasnt epic, colossal failure and frankly its incumbent which facilitated this nightmare. and fix on the logistical details of the withdrawal. that shouldnt distract from a thoroughgoing self-criticism as to how we even got here in the first place, under 20 years and...

The reality of that failure, even if they are the generals and the national security advisors and the people who sit on corporate boards now and pontificate on tv, even if they have a very different interpretation. this was an epic, colossal failure, and frankly, its incumbent on the entire bipartisan political class, which facilitated this nightmare, to reflect and to fixate needlessly on the logistical details of the withdrawal, its open to criticism just like anything a president dollars, but...

Of the new book "woke incorporated". also the title of his new fox nation special which is available now. he writes in an op-ed, quote, afghanistan was a ghastly display of how wokeness weakens america. el us what you mean by that -- tell us what you mean by that. >> i think theres exactly one way that president biden could have addressed this exit from afghanistan, and it was by issuing a credible threat to the taliban, if that if you renege on your prior agreements we will retaliate with total...

Because he himself does not speak with a moral standing that allows him to use extraordinary force right when we need it most. he is obsessed with self-criticism of the united states. i think thats actually one of the things i write about in my book. the geopolitical implications of wokeism are many. one is when were weak at home it begets weakness abroad. when were weak abroad it prevents us from displaying strength when we need it more. >> dana: the president and his political team say people ...

You want to know why? because hes obsessed with self criticism the united states. even the taliban knows he doesnt have the moral standing to back up that threat. so that is why they went for it. i think thats the way that woke-ism disrupts american on the global stage is it reduces our moral standing to use extraordinary force, precisely when we need it most. i think thats part of it. i also think its incompetence. if you are joe biden, why wouldnt you go into winter? we have football season am...
