About. >> let's talk about this war by proxy from the angle of the u.s. relationship with iran. the houthis, iranian allied, and the u.s. now in these talks about the nuclear program in iran. how does one affect the other? >> this is all connected. i find it ironic that the leader of hezbollah indicated that this should move to some peaceful negotiations when shiite involvement is distinctive, it's precise, it's inarguable part of a larger strategy on the part of tehran so needs to be checked. when you have the overarching negotiations where the united states rightfully is entering into negoti...

Here we are just past the bottom of the hour. i'm brooke baldwin, and we ought to know by now, but when politics, guns, and the second amendment all meet, to paraphrase hunter s. thompson, things get strange. maybe none stranger than what happened in democrat-leaning colorado where voters have ousted the democratic head of the state senate. that's him on the right. and a second senate democrat from a heavily democratic district because they helped pass some fairly modest firearms restrictions. but that in and of itself isn't even as big a deal when you consider that one of the two races was a ...

Would like europe and neighbors to take ownership. ironically, the united states played a major role in convincing the european powers to lift the arms embargo against the opposition, yet the obama administration is reluctant to basically send american boots to syria or even arm the opposition. as senator mccain with all due respect to senator mccain, his recipe to all conflicts in the middle east, whether iran, iraq, libya, syria, bomb, bomb, bomb. senator mccain, even though he has some good points sometimes does not appreciate really the complexity of middle eastern conflicts and limits of ...
