Overly politically correct, that anti-politically correct message is a big part of this book. we re told the topics include censorship and big tech. so that idea that conservatives are being pushed around on platforms, many of which are debunked. very little evidence of this. but we see the trump administration, the trump family, sees it as a helpful issue like with the social media summit the president had the other day. all right. mike allen, thank you. we ll be reading axios a.m. and have a great week as well. to our viewers, sign up for the news letter at sign-up.axios.com. that does it for us. i m ayman mohyeldin with frances riviera. morning joe starts right now. a much cooler morning on the east coast, finally. good morning and welcome to morning joe. it is monday, july 22nd. ....
Afghanistan, president obama came, i think, at least 4 times. but picture him standing there and delivering an oration on obamacare and healthcare and how much he had delivered for it. inconceivable. it was a very strange performance by the president. well, interesting especially when he s gotten criticism that he didn t visit the troops, the fact that he wasn t at mar-a-lago, but you also heard the president, admiral, say that isis is not so dominant anymore, but last week side isis in syria was, quote, defeated. so is there any way to gauge here whether isis is defeated or just not as dominant? they are less dominant. i think that s fair to say. and one real measure of that, frances, is the territory they control. at one point, they, isis, controlled a significant chunk of both iraq and of syria and you might recall several years ago the islamic state was moving in tank columns and was a few hundred kilometers outside of baghdad. they controlled the second ....
Election on january 3, she s at risk of losing her speakership so we re in this for the long haul. the white house with mulvaney, with the president himself, with sarah sanders all sort of twisting nancy pelosi at a time when she is about to presumably come into her speakership as the head of house democrats, but that actual election does need to take place next week, and the white house is trying to sort of lay out a bit of a pr game before the new congress comes back into town and to fill this void where there doesn t seem to be much happening except the government is partially shut down. frances. we will see one side of it all will be budging in the days to come. thank you. to you, now, mike. you were looking at our countdown clock earlier, doing a little math. hopefully your math is much better than mine. reporter: i think we have five days until next thursday, so that would put us at 13 on the countdown clock in we re at 8 now. maybe we re at 7. i was told there would be n ....
There and i think that by and large, both the bush administration, the obama administration, and the trump administration have laid out a pretty coherent case. we re there because of the rise of terrorism, because of the o propensity of these groups to take over territory. imagine today if iraq were conquered by the islamic state. not inconceivable. afghanistan would be a terrorist super state right now if we hadn t gone in there. and let s remember, frances, we ve reduced the number of troops there from somewhere near 300,000 in iraq and afghanistan at peak to somewhere around 20,000 today and 95% drop. we re leveraging our allies, partners, and friends. that s a coherent strategy. the mistake i see in it at the moment is walking away from syria. that, we should not be doing. yeah, and that s the understanding of many americans, really need in knowing the reasoning bind all of this. you got the second item when it ....
Shutdown a short time ago, saying that he s basically there at the white house waiting for this deal. as you explained, frances, not in florida which was part of his holiday plan. that on hold with the shutdown. the president saying he is here and urging democrats to come on over. now, we don t know if that s meant to be an actual invitation or just some of the kind of twitter speak we ve come to see with president trump who is clearly trying to position this gap in the negotiations, this sort of quiet period which is in some ways inexplicable because in the past, we ve seen furious negotiations going on, not so this time in part because of the lay of the land. democrats will take control of the house in the new congress and the president has made an offer according to officials of $2.5 billion, that s half of what he originally demanded for the border wall, and he s been talking about trying to seal the border as a way to shut down commerce as a leverage point to try to twist some a ....
