Negotiations with taliban less than 3 months after declaring talks dead and scoring american demand. we are meeting with them and say it s a cease fire. howie: is there media skepticism about the president canceling an invitation for them to coming to camp david after terrorist attack? there s some skepticism, it s been one of his priorities on policy track since he was a candidate, i personally have disagreements with him when it comes to foreign policy views, he s the commander in chief and ran on deescalation and trying to make deals with enemies and wind down conflicts like the ones in afghanistan, this is very much on par, on brand with what he s been telling the american people for a very long time. gillian: well, except he s moving on with the winding down without a peace agreement in place. but he wants the agreement obviously. he seems to want to reduce the american troop presence to
Media. do you have any belief he would want to talk in front of congress under oath? i m doubtdoubtful. he has very strong foreign policy views and i think he championed those views in the white house, even when they were not popular with donald trump. despite all that, at the end of the day, bolton is first and foremost part of the republican partisan. he s been on fox news, he s got the super pac. so i don t think he wants to do anything that would contribute to donald trump s impeachment because that would then burn his social networks, his financial networks, the entire infrastructure that supports john bolton. we only have about ten seconds left, but do you think he will say things publicly critical of the president on twitter? i don t know about on twitter but he s certainly saying it behind closed doors and i suspect he will for his book for which he s getting $2 million. also paid speeches and audiences but not for free under oath before congress and the american people.
Bad to do with trump, then they do it. but if it somebody who clearly look, they re telling us exactly what we need to know. and that is, however this whistle-blower is must be an extreme partisan with lots of problems with their story. that is why the whistle-blower is not coming forward. tucker: it sounds like the whistle-blower, and i hate the term because if the person who is being identified as a so-called whistle-blower is in fact that person, he s not a whistle-blower at all. he is a guy who disagrees with trump s foreign policy views. that is not a whistle-blower. but do you think that the person being described in some news stories and all over twitter, is that the so-called whistle-blower? because if it is, that guy is a serious partisan. looked, regardless, the person who is being described, we have no way to know. if the person who is being described and nobody wants to

That she only has one goal in mind, listen. i was not there to to interview for a job, i was asked to come and share my foreign policy views, perpetuation the rumor has come from political opponents who are trying to create suspicion that i m running as president to defeat donald trump. heather: tulsi calling out hillary clinton again, smearing her character without naming gabbard clinton suggested republicans brooming to run as third-party candidate. now let s switch to football, nfl week 9, ravens pull up a huge upset to end the patriots undefeated season.
Journal op-ed tuesday and this is part of what it said. i can defeat trump and the clinton doctrine and whether her name is on the ballot on not, her foreign policy is as to many of the democrats adhere to her doctrine to be the world s police and using tools to overthrow governments that we don t like, and wasting taxpayer dollars and causing destruction abroad and undermining america s security. and there are those who say, they don t want the russians to be america s police as well. and so what is your message to democratic voters who may see this, and maybe listening to you right now, and feel that it is mirroring president trump s isolationist foreign policy views. i think that american people are smarter than to buy into these crazy smear tactics and baseless accusations.
I don t know if she likes russians. if she does like them, i know she s not an asset. she called her an asset of russia. neil: even president trump is coming to the defense of tulsi gabbard after hillary clinton suggested that the 2020 democrat is being groomed by the russians. it s caused a dustup within the democratic party paired mollie hemingway joins us right now. federalist sr. editor. if anything, it boomerang down hillary clinton to the fact that they are saying tulsi gabbard of whom they were not a big fan, that they are now persona non grata is hillary clinton, the woman making the accusation appeared what do you think? hillary clinton isn t saying this because she thinks tulsi gabbard is a russian asset. she is saying it because she views the foreign policy views of tulsi gabbard like the foreign policy views of donald trump, as a threat to the sort of failed bipartisan foreign policy consensus that really has dominated washington, d.c., for decades. the american people including large portions of people in both democratic and the republican party a kind of set up with this
The special envoy for ukraine who has resigned now. what were your initial thoughts about him after reading allegations for him in the complaint? is this something he would do? kurt is somebody who is widely respected in washington. a long-time career foreign service officers, served in embassies across europe, deputy assistant secretary for european affairs, u.s. ambassador to nato. after he left the government at the end of the bush administration, since he he served as the head of the mccain institute, think tank at arizona state university designed to carry out john mccain s foreign policy views and his legacy. he s highly respected. i think we re all very surprised to see him in the middle of this in this way. i m curious. when you aren t offering your legal expertise on television, you re leading a global advisory firm. do you believe if the democrats win the fight to get any potential conversations that
From, but the intel community disagreed with his foreign policy views, so they tried to destroy him. that happened. that s not some defense of trump, that s an observation of what happened. and then two weeks after he took office, somebody decided to leak the president s phone calls with foreign leaders, the leaders of australia and mexico. imagine that. imagine trying to run the country when you can t even speak confidentially with their counterparts in otherou countri. how does that help america? it doesn t help america. you may hate trump, you should still be against that. that kind of thing has been happening ever since. that s an administrative coup d etat. it s not overstatement to say that s what that is. a lot is at stake here. if these people whose names you don t know who were never elected to anything succeeded in taking over the government and running things in real life, we are done, our democracy won t recover. the president, not just this president, but future presidents will be merely figureheads, they will be beholden to a praetorian
Officer. the official did not agree with the president s foreign policy views, so he felt entitled to veto those views and bring the u.s. government to a standstill which he did. that is the meat of the story. we know this because the complaint was released today to the public, you can read it if you want. it tells us nothing we didn t already know from a transcript of the phone call, trump talked about a variety of issues including possible corruption of joe biden and his son. trump mentioned no military aid or quid pro quo. it s hard to see how it s an impeachable offense. all of a sudden, everybody in d.c. and nodding sagely in unison thinks it is. the same people who spent two years writing russia collusion fan fiction are outraged once again, or did they ever stop being outraged? they aren t telling us they trump presidency is really
