Trump sets a red line -- and then does something about it. But was it Constitutional? Plus we check the mailbag.

Last night, as news emerged of president trumps missile striking and syrian airfield Twitter quickly
And examining trumps old tweets from twenty thirteen, many of which oppose them
stability of action in Syria by Barack Obama tweeted. What will we get?
for bombing Syria. Besides more debt and a possible long term, conflict Obama needs congressional approval. He also tweeted
the president must get congressional approval before attacking Syria. Big mistake, if
He does not, and then there
The re examination of Senator TED cruises position on american involvement in the syrian conflict in twenty thirteen Crusoe, that
its chemical weapons used was quote, not a direct threats. U S! National security and added that such behaviour was quote well outside the traditional scope of: U S military action. Now
Greece is silent on trumped air strikes. Adding quote. I look forward to our commander in chief making the case to Congress in the american people in twenty thirteen. I was one of the people who opposed Obama's pre stated pinprick strike. I tweeted Hewett
being missiles into Syria without decapitated regime strengthens poses the both Assad and the mullahs. I also
the column around that time. Thereupon, the strategy was destined to fail because he had no credibility to uphold whose negotiating a deal with the Syrian Club Sponsor State IRAN, whose undermining american allies all over the region. He was making the only standard for intervention use of chemical weapons, while ignoring all of us are other war atrocities so what's chain,
between two thousand thirteen and now three things. First trunk
reestablish. American credibility. Obama had already blown american credibility out of the water for for years by the time Assad gas own people. It was obvious to everyone
Democrats and Republicans there not only did Obama lack a plan in Syria. He was looking to launch a few missiles to silence criticisms of his pathetic foreign policy as
tweeted, then hitting a few donkeys in the rear and Syria wouldn't do anything but make a sidewalk stronger and the United States weaker. The same is not true of Trump he's a brand new present
a man of mystery on foreign policy. A coherent plan
action following a strong, immediate response to a chemical attack can help reshaped
Map in different ways than Obama could, in twenty thirteen. Second,
The russian arranging access is now operative. In Syria, after Obama Hand
it over control of Syria to Russia in twenty thirteen, I wrote this quote thanks.
President Obama statements in August, twenty twelve regarding a syrian red line on chemical weapons used in Syria. The United States was faced with three choices in Syria. Depose Assad do nothing.
To prevent Al Qaeda from taking over the country or
John Kerry advocated push for an unbelievably small action in order to reinforce America's credibility. The third option
probably the worst, but in a truly are inspiring display of his foreign policy. Genius Obama has found a fourth action. Appeasement comply with international weapons inspections it rejected just a week ago in twenty thirteen
Geopolitical interests in Syria were significantly less important than they are now. Thanks to Russia's aggressively reshaping of the Middle EAST
I handed overpowered Russia in Syria, thereby helping
complete in iranian russian access that now spans from IRAN to Lebanon and then back to ran through his idiotic and evil nuclear deal that made around a regional power again, all of them
creating a safe haven, invasive Strang, forenoon back terrorist strengthen
and put his hand as an expansionist dictator and even creating an incentive for countries who oppose around in Russia to covertly support ISIS blunting. Russia's ambitions in Syria, without drawing us into a war with them, is a worthwhile though. Third, the map does not look like it did, and twenty thirteen
here's a graphic of control, Syria and twenty thirteen. You can see those blue dots up in the top of the Kurds and uneasy
red dots feed, the opposition and the black dots are the government. Now here's a map from arch
seventeen vacancy
blackberries ISIS, the red is the syrian government and the yellow is the Kurds. Note the geographic divides note also the new clarity about the identities of some of the sounds rivals and at first map you didn't know his rivals were here. You know a lot of morasses this me
that America, strategic goals, have changed now
no longer about deposing Assad per SE, which was always a questionable goal. Given his terrorist rivals, America has no interest in intervening in the middle of the series of war. We do
interests regarding Assad's dominance and fighting ISIS. Russia and Assad are not interested in fighting ices. That was always a fantasy of pro russian isolationist. Our best policy at this point is to contain the region without serious intervention Kallas. Many ISIS members as possible, along with friendly countries and to deter major human rights violations, is possible, if possible, well emboldened the Kurds in the Yellow northern region, that
transfer strike matters, but it will
manner unless he has some sort of strategy to back it up. If he doesn't it
precisely the same as Obama's proposed pinprick strike and will have been a counterproductive, rather
a first blow for restoring american interests on the world stage I mentioned here. This is the bench Shapiro show.
Already so
they turn a news to get to kneel gorse. It has now been confirmed. He is now going to be on the Supreme Court good for assent of majority, much Mcconnell Majority leader. Much with how I didn't think he was actually gonna. Do it. He did invoked the nuclear option.
Did what he was supposed to do good for him. We also get to a full analysis of what is happening in Syria. Is a good
too bad or are we undecided? But first I want to say thank you swore advertisers over a ball and branch. So as somebody who is a really light sleeper, a really poor, sleeper, there's enough,
that I appreciate more than the bull and brand sheets that are on my bed, its b, o L, l and branch dot com. These
the most comfortable sheet, I've ever own. I bought my think three separate cheats, sats from bowl and branch because they are so comfortable there again at cotton, but they did, they are
all I can tell you another drought sheet, forthright can't. What I do know is what feels good and what breeds at night and what is comfortable
are we say things like what this has. One thousand thread count kitten thread. Count apparently doesn't mean anything. That's just talking about the density of the threads within a certain amount of space, but
What you do is you drive ass, a gas station away data sheets, Edna say two thousand thread count you buy it and it's just actually like a plastic tarp bowling brand,
sheets are the best quality sheep there. Three ex presidents that sleep on them. I sleep on them.
As well. They are
fantastic, the most comfortable.
I have ever owned, I've had enough
my parents to get them as well. Bull and branched. I've come today go use the promo code ban any at fifty bucks off your
set of sheet plus free shipping, when you use that promo code, balanced attitudes like two hundred bucks there, which is significantly less there, are cause for real luxury brand.
And bone branch is indeed a luxury brandy at fifty bucks off your first set of sheets, fifty bucks plus free shipping right now,
I bull and branch dot com be: oh L, l and branch dotcom used that promo code bans that they know that we sent you and yet that fifty dollar discount off your first set of sheets plus the free shipping. Ok, so big news last night,
the gorse thing, we can wait till later discuss, but it's not you
is because we knew all week did everything to confirm justice corset big when, for president Trompe fulfils campaign, promise big went from it
Mcconnell who fulfils a quasi campaign promise, it is a big thing.
Only just huge thing, as some people make it out to me, because I don't think the Supreme Court is this huge thing, as some people make it out to be so that in the past
I will continue to say that, but it is big that schools
Seat is maintained for original ism, as opposed to being converted overtall leftism activists seat, as it would have under Heller Clinton. So I got that when hopefully wrong during the elections, I call I said I thought the trump would appoint somebody who is not conservative or at the very least Mitch Mcconnell would not ram trumps pick through
over the over the filibuster
obviously, I was wrong so good for Trump good from its Mcconnell. That's
they stopped at. The big news, obviously, is that we are now involved
a war in Syria. How much are we involve not particularly much last night about motive about six o clock Pacific time
get the news that the United States has launched fifty plus soon, as fifty nine Tomahawk Miss
those from the Mediterranean Sea to
syrian base, an air base that was apparently the source of the gas attacks. That happened earlier this week on syrian civilians, that from Saw- and that made him very
very upset. Here's over to the full
of the strike
see, there's the lodging missile, pretty cool stuff and then remarked, rightly explained not doubt be used, will be arriving. There are six syrian army to go out and what a sign that there is nothing. It was marked contrast to. President Obama
you're, a syrian gas attack, and she doesn't thirteen- he basically,
sat around and did nothing dithered, try to blame Congress and then, finally, here
over control the whole situation to the Russians, but it has raised a number of really important and interesting questions. The first question, I think is was the strike worthwhile was something that was worthwhile and again I go
That's what I just said a few minutes ago how worthwhile
right was going to depend on what comes next, so in eighteen. Ninety eight
Qaeda targeted, the. U S, embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and killed hundreds of people and bill.
His response was to shoot off a missile at a chemical weapons factory supposedly in Sudan had a camel NASA is basically the end of it that I was
not only had no impact, it actually counterproductive, convinced been lot and that the United States is a paper tiger. We won't can actually do anything and
two nine eleven. If you just
do these sort of symbolic measures that are followed up on new with any sort of real cohesive policy. Then nothing actually.
Matters here it doesn't, it doesn't matter David, French, I think,
exactly right in national view. He says if this is the only strike muscles
straw narrowly and unusually effective. It has little chance.
Surely impacting me Assad regime or the course of the civil war itself, even
persuades Assad's refrain from drop in gas bombs. Hell doubtless continue his campaign of mass murder with airlines, cluster bombs, area bombing and mass executions.
As I just said, you know, the idea
You can do a pinprick strike and that's it
in a whether this effective or not. We will, we just don't know the answer yet because we don't know what Trump is going to do. Yet. Second question did trumpet:
off his base. A certain part of his base, absolutely and culture is very upset. This more impulsive Watson, it info wars, has declared himself off the Trump train
will you novelist says he's angry with daddy? Predictably enough ends
in focusing makes her.
Which are very angry about this as well and claiming that anybody who backs trump on this thing anybody thinks this is the worst in the world to join the US military, to which I
two to people like sort of each while you seem very concerned by pizza, gay wanna, go join the Deasey Police force. The idea
that you are concerned about something happening in the world, and this is the rationale you must join
military if you care about her
getting war or prosecuting ory, mustering the police force of the border force. If you want people to do their jobs that silly, but the real
that so many people are upset is because there are a lot of people who bought into the original concept of trumpets, sort of IRAN, Paul Isolationist and what trump
really is is an isolationist who, if he gets pissed off
fires. Missiles are things? That's that's all the evidence we have so far. We don't know that he's known interventionist, we don't know he somebody who plans- and this is the great debate. What for
did in Syria last night was that something where Trump is actually
now going to shift his entire policy on Syria and pursue something that's more coherent and cohesive, or
It can be a situation where Donald Trump, basically earlier this week, said everything
he's fine in Syria, dont care or decide. Does aside gases a bunch of
but he sees it on tv. He says: oh those for babies, and then he got
any shoots off a bunch of missiles and then that's it if that's it
that's not going to be good, but we don't know the answer yet now that that seems to me,
Those plausible solution here is that he doesn't have a coherent strategy. The on the reason I say that is because their members of the defence
parliament who are already saying this was one off the design gonna be something that is repeated. I end
Maybe it's roll out what their strategy actually is, but there's a lot of
confusion? So, let's start with what happened before all of this on two thirteen down
you're not getting involved in Syria. A series of tweets
tweet in which he specifically talked about this. He tweeted thing at those up. He said
isn't it must get congressional approval before attacking
a big mistake if he does not we'll talk, not constitutionality of this in a second and then he also tweeted that if the euro
Tax area it'll be a terrible idea. He said
The US attack Syria. This was September. Second, twenty thirteen and hits them
targets, killing civilians, there'll be worldwide, held a stay away and fix broken you us
he's involving himself and then he asked
the swedish presidency,
I do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside saved your powder for another more important day, so a lot of
supporters to get seriously income blame them. He said during the entire campaign that we never should be involved in Syria. We should never be involved in IRAN. We should never be involved in Iraq. We should basically be
everything home and focus on building roads in Iowa. That's it out
his take, and so, if you look at
of his supporters. They have reason to be upset with him today, because, obviously that was not his position. He saw something on tv. He heard it
elegance reports, it he decided to act and we'll have to see
how you will have to see how much he ends up acting Bob quarters
from Tennessee. He says that he was excited that this happened, because he was worried from measures make a cheap deal over Russia. Matron potent and Russia are heard you.
Ambassador Nicky heavily criticised Russia. I have not heard president tromp Old put in order.
Responsible in anyway, he's been far more critical of rock of on this issue. The latter proven right, yeah, don't now. I have seen by the way, have elation. Even Russia, like you, say more from just being honest worthy. I was very concerned in the beginning that there may be an attempt to do some cheap deal with Russia relative to Ukraine and crime in Syria, and I don't think there's any chance of that now. I think the president is the long reason office, the more young people coming into saying from other countries. I think that these developing a body of knowledge and experience that keep anything like that from occurring and he'll have enough to any say, first hand right now, so we'll find not a stamp we'll find out. You know, Putin is he's getting very militants over Syria
this one off where Trump back down and the future that's possible too. We just don't know what's going to happen, but you can see the
It happened in real time so earlier this week, tillers inside that aside could stay in power. Then he added that it. Now he sang after that gas attack that Russia was complicit or incompetent and preventing the Syria gas attackers information. The russian agents were on the ground as they are
organizing the syrian gas attack. He also is now saying that there are steps under way to remove us out altogether, which is precisely one hundred and eighty degrees, polar opposite of what I said earlier this week. A sharp role in the future is uncertain clearly, where the accident
taken, they would say:
there would be no room for him to govern the syrian people
The process by which side would leave is something that I think requires, and international community effort, both to first defeat ISIS within Syria.
Within Syria, to
they belies the syrian country too.
Lloyd, further civil war and enter work collectively
with our partners around the world through a political process that would lead to leaving
you so loving stoutly there, but it is not obvious he's a flip in position. I want to talk about all these various positions, but first I want to say thank you to our sponsors.
Over at legacy box. So it may come as a bit of a surprise to those of you who know me in this park ass. I am not the most sentimental human being. I once forgot my own.
My dad, though, is a total sap, yea Manly and he's my hero, but he's a sap. He cried at the end of terminator, yes, really terminator. My mom has always said that if the house is on
fire or underwater, are falling into San Andreas. Bob Madame probably be inside the house trying to save every box of family photos and every film we could find. Now we have legacy box,
have to worry that my dear burning or drowning are falling into the abyss with an armful of boxes, trying to save all the family memories. It couldn't be easier. You just send your old pictures, films, video tapes Legacy box, they put him on a dvd or a thumb drive, and that takes them forever makes it convenient their preserved. The ready to watch the right you re, sharing we live if you're sentimental, which I'm not mostly legacy box, dot, com,
last but make sure you do that, you get that forty percent discount on your order, you're, my kids, are the best by the way and legacy backside calm again use nets,
spending that forty percent discount on your order, this legacy box tat comes lifespan, great service, something I really recommend for you and your family
and use that slash bans that they know that we sent you as well
Ok, so there are real
a few different positions that are emerging on Trump all. We know about trumpets that tramples deeply affected in emotional way by what happened?
The in serious here is what from said, after speaking on last night after the missile attacks,
fellow Americans on Tuesday,
Erin Dictator, Bashar, Al Assad loan.
Stay horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians
using a deadly nerve. Agent aside,
doubt the lives of helpless men, women and children
it was a slow and brutal death
for so many
even beautiful babies,
we're cruelly murdered
is very barbaric attack.
No child of God should ever suffer such horror,
tonight. I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield.
In Syria, from where the chemical attack was launched,
It is in this vital
national security interests of the United
AIDS to prevent and did
the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.
There can be no dispute that Syria used band chemical weapons
violated its obligations under the Chemical weapons convention and ignored the urging of the U N,
cured council savary there. This is that there is a need to this view, follower and transmit
entire
his entire campaign, ripping on George W Bush, saying that George W Bush was warmonger.
Call. What was George W Bush is excuse for going in Iraq. It was you
of chemical weapons by Saddam Hussein on his own people, the possibility of future use of weapons of mass destruction on Americans and others across the world, upholding EU and sanctions. Against all of this,
exactly the same template that Trump is using here, so people have a right to be upset with Trump if they were against
Iraq, war, and now they say what happened to the trump that we knew and loved. Here the
is that isolationism runs up against reality, not only because you see nasty pictures on tv, but it can because it turns out that their nasty forces in the world from around Russia or interested maximizing their own power at the expense of U S, power, and that's really where America's interest lies: you're, not in the human rights violations which our terrible but exist all over the world. It really lies in the idea that a strengthened Russia that has an impact in broadening the sphere of influence for IRAN and four and for places like need places like gum, Lebanon and Syria, sought that when you do
This, your heightening the chance of war against american allies, war against citizens of the West and
in terrorism against citizens of the western aside has been complicit in that all that said, the beast
there are three solutions: three possible things that can be done here,
talk about all of them before they even have to cover the daily wired outcome. Unsubscribe right now, eight dollars a month gets you subscription over,
daily Wire
come right. Now, if you get a subscription than you can watch the recitation live plus be part of the mail bag which is happening right now,
You don't get to be part of the mail bag and have your questions answered unless you go to daily Wired come right now and subscribe also get to watch. Clayton shall live and be part of Cravens mailbag as well. Plus I promise
more goodies coming up for members in the very near future.
And if you become an annual member you get I've kind as a free signed copy of
Go Moses reasons, vote democratic, comprehensive guide, a masterwork of political thought about leftism.
It is the most thorough book on democratic thought. Ever quasi penned, picked it up
by becoming an annual subscriber over a daily wired outcome, or if you want it was later at Itunes and sound cloud, then
over there and check it out and make sure that you leave us reviewed items. We always appreciate it and we are the most popular conservative, Podcasting America, so there's based
three strategies that can be pursued here, one is the market Rubio John
Mccain, Lindsey Graham Strategy, and that is the we should,
you put troops on the ground and overthrow Assad strategy. I do not favour
strategy because I don't think they have replacement for us all, and I think that the idea,
genes are just gonna stand by and watch as over, throw aside without actually creating. Also
of casualties against you asked
so we would have to invariably put in harm's way. I think that's a mist.
I don't think that's worth, while going
or to is what a lot of the trunk ins are, the people who are really our trump advocates wanna do the all right these people
basically just want trump to stay out of it. Let Russia,
the thing if they want to go
people let russian gas people in what's amazing about is that
tromp actually hasn't done anything. Yet he hasn't involve themselves in anything GPS, but people are losing their minds over this and culture
a friend of mine but she's,
tromp was not elected to go to war and Syrian she's very upset about this. We need a little more
tat we need to save Amerika before we can do anything for the rest of the world and in most of these Savage Rees around the world in a word, is coming in at one moment in an ongoing bar fight and taking the guy who's on bottom.
I would like you to wait a few years on. The other group will be on top savaging. The other group protruding. Why are we do? Let's just Ho Jon Base will remain.
Now this is. She thinks that this is the worst thing that ever happened there, a lot of people who are very upset about it again. All he did was fire some missiles at a dying, just gasped children,
at the very least, even if you hope that it's just a pinprick strike, maybe so
a gladiator pinprick structures is tough guy and move along, but the idea that there
we know consequences whatsoever, and you know that
that's a little bit troubling
oh I get it. I do get that idea. There should be no consequence if you're not actually gonna have a plan there and you shouldn't have a plan, because who cares that sort of the the all right?
the actions of this, and then there is the element of the all right that is actually just openly pro Russia. Does he like right
Paul who's out there saying that, basically,
it was the syrian rebels who gas their own people in order to blame the Assad regime.
And who would benefit. It makes no sense. Even if you are totally separate from this and take no sign of this, and you were just any laws, it doesn't make any sense for Saddam. These conditions to all of a sudden use poison gas is its z. I think it's easier chance. He would have done this
no deliberately and and he's doing this now. Ok, this is it. This is the ass an eye inside of the internet. This is the makes all of its side. They said it wasn't even aside at all, it's all a false flag
The NEO Cons power of what is over. There gassing get syrian children in order to get
from to go to war? It is exceeded,
exposing a split in the trunk camp. There there bunch splits in the trunk. Hemp is just another one between the sort of isolationist, libertarian side of the trunk camp and the people who
are realists, and even the people who are more than that. So, as I said before, there are fewer from things that can be done. One is actually
get rid of Assad, not for it. Never
in trying contain aside and urge the Russians to get rid of us odds that were actually on the same side here and the way that you do. That is either by establishing a no fly zone or if you dont want to establish a no fly zone, could you think it's too risky age with David French's suggested and you create
who plays with Greece,
to air missile capacity in which
the Syrian and Russians know they will be shot down if they come over there and these become basically the refugee centres and you protect independent kurdish territory up in the north and what then
you fight ISIS at the same time, so that fulfils a couple of goals it contains Assad. It forces Russia to think whether maybe they be better off. If someone who is not a sign that they wouldn't have so much countervailing
opinion and countervailing military and then on the third.
On the third side. You are you're getting we're devices. That's that sort of my preferred solution is what I suggested yesterday and then there is the all rights at nets. Do nothing
It appears right now right now that the real question is what is trumpet and united. It could be any of these three
If you listen to the rhetoric of the Trump Administration for all three of her sex teller since ass, I must go, but he never
the troops on the ground probably and then you ve.
People say well
the under one can do anything after this, which sounds like d, the isolationist position and then there's,
a position, which is, I hope, where he ends up the we have them.
Interest. Are we're not going to put tons of boots on the ground? We don't want to go to war with Russia. We don't want to play check in with Russia. Russia has
obviously invested. It's all very heavily here
but we are also going to reestablish the norm. The chemical weapons used is
Ok and this present is not going to be crossed, and I think that's
proper solution. Now, there's one more issue that has to be discussed here, and that is the constitutional issue, so Rizzo ran tall not run run, is crazy, random,
crazy, so Rand, Tweedie out a bunch things about the constitutionality of all of us
and so he said well, we condemn the atrocities in Syria. The United States was not attacked thinking in the present
means congressional authorization for military action is required by the constitution,
prior interventions in this region have done nothing to make a safer in Syria will be no different, ok, so that's probably true
Unless there is a coherent strategy- and it's one of the reasons- the constitution suggests that there actually be a declaration of war or an authorization of military force, it is not true.
Authors. Authorization for using military force applies to aside Syria ages. Doesn't look idea that you doesn't want authorization. These military force was directed against global too
best answer these particularly Al Qaeda
It's not Assad Assad is the is the sovereign ruler of a nation, even though Geneva Dictator, so the aid
left does not cover this. Legally speaking, there is a case that there is enough that there,
independent constitutional authority for the president to launch military strikes and then afterward go to Congress for approval, that's very kind of thorny legal issue. It is
my opinion that that trump
and you're gonna say that you need to do something quickly enough time to go to Congress and want to telegraph. What are we going to do? But now is going
Congress. I think that maybe the best middle of the road solution here, but if there is
further military intervention. Obviously he does need to go to Congress and he should go to Congress and he should make the case a coherent case. The reason that in two thousand thirteen it didn't makes him
probably got a Congress is because Obama only wanted to go to Congress for this pinprick military strike that he really
not need congressional approval for under legal precedent, everything
congressional approval. He was gonna, get congressional approval for let me fire a missile and a camel a hidden but similar if he was going
four congressional approval. Chrome. Congo,
is only going to sign onto a coherent plan said they have something to be answerable to you, dont need Congress to approve every drone strike that is pursued by Obama or Bush or tromp. That's just silly so
trust me, you know if you need to go with a coherent plan to Congress. Getting
authorization to use military force, and then he can go about his business, but first he needs a plan and I would like to see President Trump actually
up with a plan, and that is the big question. Does he
The plan now and the end
because we have no idea in my bed,
is on not really, but I hope that he's a formula one but again no one
The answer to this. No one knows the answer to this at all, ok time for
and things I like things, I hate and the mail bag, so things I'm so sorry.
So before I do that. I want to say thank you to advertise. We have brand new advertisers over at the. I hate me
boss, podcast it. This is a really is a really funny. Podcast, it's about basically
eyes on how to deal with your crappy boss, knowledge
a star Mathis in Austin Data.
And the best boss that otherwise they they love. May they love me there. It is there's the reluctant there's the reluctant, not and in terms of from Boston. Yes, yes, because you're fired, if you don't say that, but they, but if they
If they did have problems with me, then they
go and they would listen to. I hate my boss, it's all about what you do when you have a crappy boss and the advice in dealing with a crappy boss and so the
This is new package, is about to workplace euros, helping you make the big decisions and sort through the small stuff and get more fulfilment from your workplace
people who go to work in a part of a team, respect their bosses but need escape you'll meet
characters that you might relate, or no it's actually really funny what they do is they have a couple of hope in the house. Give advice,
and how to deal with your crappy boss, but then they have also these kind of fictional segments in which its these couple
actors dealing with their bosses very, very funny, very informative. You gotta wondering I come to listen to it. It's I hate my boss and subscribe to it over a laundry dot, com or Itunes or sound cloud. I hate my boss, its work.
Place, drama, comedic relief. He can go in.
Rhapsody, listen to the newest episode unsubscribe. I hate my boss, it wondering how come I listen to myself. It is really funny, and I will just say:
but I do have two things of the bosses do in this charter on Fourchan
for my own employees. They can't they can't say anything about it
and I can't so- I'm I'm a- I think- I'm pretty good boss, but our bosses do so, I'm probably a mediocre boss in any case legitimacy things I like and things I hate so things out
We ve been doing french stuff and so are the lily.
We didn't do any french film. This week's a french film and probably
The best friend should involve time. There's a french film. They came out of these nineteen. Thirty seven called grand illusion. Grand illusion was about world war. One was really fascinating about its came. A marxist, take on rural were one basically about these two frenchmen who are captured by the Germans in World WAR One and they are imprisoned in this.
Castle, basically, where all the p a double use are kept, and then they have to ask-
but it's really much more about class conflict.
And it's it's she'd stalls stars a bunch of people who would go on to become big stars,
In Hollywood this, I think the future of Europe,
on reading who's, who begin using CASA, blank or re recognizes face from from Gaza.
He's these. The other guide, not Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, really good actor than the movie,
really holds up really well, it has some p,
who end up becoming a big stars for other.
Thing. So there is a german officer whose play by the guy
a few member Sunset Boulevard, creepy butler hands are playing him
the it say. I really good movie show little but the trailer, but you won't understand because it in french
You say that made it out and I presume that do not bother about you didn't listen. We seem to be differentiated airfares nurse, no better, do it. He says I downloaded. It said it
What point is it's actually sort of a marxist work of art? Basically, the ideas that war is an illusion. The only real war is between the classes, and this was
lady bombed during World WAR, one and only by debunked again during world war. Two is it. It was a fantasy of the left and because their fans
You ve left ended up being.
True, we keep falling into
It turns out that division
far more than class divisions and up dividing people. Classifications are much more a secondary concern. Ok,
for some things that I hate so Nicky Hayley, whose trumps ambassador the? U N she spoke yesterday about how Trump was going to do something about Syria, and then they did you something about. Syria should actually Haeckel
at the? U N by bunch people who said that she should be letting in it. It is the woman in the world summit. I guess she was asked what about the refugees? You know you say: oranges, knowing that Syria, with any clothes, the bordered the refugees or adding
first of all, keep in mind that I work for the Trump Administration and it
you have heard me talk about Russia, sad that we gotta get people fix these problems. We had. I have the Russia over the head more times and I can count and its because
they do something wrong. We're going to call them out. On it and if they want to help
defeat terrorism, fine, but the things I've done,
with Crimea and Ukraine. The things I ve done it and how they ve covered up. For aside those types of things were not going to give them a pass on, and so I've had conversations with the president were here
very much sees Russia's problem.
I think. If you look at his actions, you know everybody wants to hear his words, but look at his actions. The two things that Russia.
Does it want to see the? U S. Do is strengthened.
Military and expand energy,
President has done both of those, and so we need
get the action again
you call them out when they do something wrong and you work with them when, when you can find ways to work with them, I guess I was finally frustrating this week.
To express America's values? We are always
the moral conscience of the world, and so our focus
to make sure that work
certain people. I e g, some united, the idea here in this house. This was paranoid by a lot of people on the left. Yesterday was wise.
On pretending, cares about shit? Kids, getting gas when he's not taking in refugees gave us the same sort of idiotic logic
It suggests that you don't care
about babies after example, and therefore you shouldn't care if they get aborted, kill, not willing to pay for welfare, for example,
formation care with a Paypal will kill babies in the womb. Do things can be?
I will take years later. I can want aside, you stop gassing children, and I can also say that if I can get the families of those kids who are coming in, then I
I'm going to let the man I'd rather establish a refugee camp somewhere overseas, where we can
keep tabs on people and where they can over. The commission
the dominant culture a little better. These are not mutually exclusive.
Two propositions. This is another one of these lofty talking point. The just doesn't make any sense. Okay,
other things that I hate him:
Clinton is still out there. I dont know why, and now she saying the Macedonia is the reason that you lost the election of course. Of course it's because we all hate vaginas, that's the reason you lost Heller.
A man who brag about sexual assault.
Won the election and one fifty three percent of the White women's vote. How is it that in it
the first century, and what does it say about
the challenge is that one faces in women's empowerment that, in effect
logically one where the law,
the women voters, voters
I am currently writing a book. Where
span histories and a lot of time wrestling with this. As you might guess, I've thought about it more than one
and
I dont know that there is one answer. Let let let's be clear, I think there are any
I'm paying there's so many different cross currents and events and some have greater impact than others, but
It is fair to say, as you just did, Nick, that
Certainly massaging played a role. I mean that just has to be admitted
why and why
the underlying reasons were, is what I'm trying to pass out myself.
Ok, so she says that it is all about sexism. Actually, it's about fact. He spent
Five minutes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. That's the reason you lost the election and your horrifying swords, those two things. It is not the fact that your woman, one of my favorite camp,
in stories of the entire year was then there is this. This group that actually redid the debate,
We Hilary and tromp, but they had a woman play is say what Trump said and they had a man say what Hilary sad and what they found is that people still live
What tromp was saying they liked it even better. Coming from a woman show, they just turns out. They hated whatever I d say, because she's, terrifying and so silly thing so did this idea
and the reason she lost is because she's, a woman is just absolute.
Petty the reason she losses, because she's really bad candidate, ok time, for

I saw a headline on the news this morning that Red Chocolate bar must be made smaller due to new health laws regarding sugar and taken obesity in Scotland, I was wondering in a situation where a product can be potentially damaging to its user. Who has the honest,
responsibility the user or the producer is just a reg.
The producer simply because been over used their product can lead to damaging consequences. So, as
you manage and I am not in favour of regulating the distribution of products based on damage to the user. I am in favour
Regulation only one there externalities, so the one
dangers of Obamacare or any national self system. Is that eventually? I am
possible for your health once I'm responsible for your health, I can make you eat a salad. If I want to pay for your health care,
you don't get to eat everything you could possibly want to eat, become a giant fat. So I get heart disease at age, thirty, seven and then expect that everybody's going to be okay with that. The next step is obviously that the government will start regulating dyad. I'm of the view that if you want to get a chocolate bar,
that's your business!
no, your life, maybe you to chocolate bar and then you go out and exercise. I have too much sugar in my diet, exercise a lot in what will
How that works out for me will, but the bottom line is that it's my decision is what I want to eat. I am not an
Neither of these regulations that say you can't smoke because efforts, your health in Europe,

your input on religious topics. An atheist raised a question to me. The other day I was hoping you could shed some light on it if gotta ask
you to kill someone? Would you do it if the devil asked
You tell us in person, would you do it? What's? The moral differ,
if the result and act are the same. So in Judaism, there's no such concepts as these sort of adversarial devil. So in Christianity. There is the idea that guy
and the devil are sort of striving for yourself introduced
that's not what the devil dies or I have slightly different theology on this than than other folks. I dont think that,
The devil is sort of an independent moral force in the universe. Satan is literally the adversary in Hebrew and the ideas
he's the prosecutor in most of the time what he described as somebody who is prosecuting,
case against human beings like in the book of job sort of taunting God into
flying justice rather than mercy.
Or into seeing whether human beings can withstand their faith, but he
in emissary of God. At no point did he actually have a break from God and then that there's no paradise lost situation and Judaism. So the
idea that God and Satan
give you the same commands in and they would have to moral different moral questions.
It doesn't arise under duties in, but I think the broader question which is, can God do something more of the answer? Is God can certainly do stuff? That is immoral according to human standards- and this is one of the great debates in religious circles- is morality about God or is got about morality, one of the great
Troubles in all faith. Is that God,
above morality, but we pray and hope that God will abide by the promises that he made to human beings to live within his boundaries that he has set up for himself, and that includes allowing a certain amount of free will in which we can do evil
I got his bounded himself in, if God we're boundless, we wouldn't have freewill got down to himself in and he is right when he is restricted his own behaviour in the world, and that mean
more often than not. They got is now
performing the evil it is. It is the the rule
laws of nature that he set up the creator randomness in the universe that that is performing the evil or it is human beings themselves, performing the gravest evils of also the idea that we live.
The time or God, comes and tells you to
kill somebody? Would you do it or not? You know again
All religious believers in the end
I have to say yes but the, but but the differences that you have to have religion. That says the God would never do that or the God should not do.
Or the God cannot do that.
The struggle on innocent. The great struggle, I think, of of Judaism,
in the section of the Bible, the talks about Abraham sacrificing Isaac Right- it's God literally asking Abraham to kill his own son and so that in
the thing to do, and that is
God's testified, TAT Abraham. Is that it's very easy to be a monotheists, you believe in God, when God morality agrees with yours, will you agree with gas morality and go along with it when gods morality doesn't agree with yours and Abraham says
ass, but with the hope, TAT. God will
eventually think better on it.
I think that's the I that's what all human beings if they have to do. Carlos is high
and huge? Then what do you think the pros
cons and make important we gotta fifty first state. Let me know
can really right. Now is that port

Percent real. I really don't. I think that is really more. A question of making
economy stronger.
And in ensuring that the cultures importer ego agree with
traditional american culture, which I think that in large measure they do valses here,
and I recently seen a lot about how fossil fuels pollute the atmosphere and how terrible that is, but it's difficult
from a moral rather than purely statistical and logical point of view and debating climate change with people on the other side, can you explain
ok for fossil fuels, yes, the moral case for fossil fuels that they are cheap, their effective and they half the globe out of poverty. That is the case for fossil fuels,
in places that do not have fossil fuels. There still burning animal dung for warmth, which is action.
More polluting than fossil fuels. They do not have power, they do not have electricity, they do not have higher standards of living fossil.
This has been the greatest single advance in the history of humanity in terms of technological advances, and so the idea that fossil fuels have been a net detriment to human beings is absolutely absurd.

Well, I mean, aside from his stunning good, looks

with: U S leadership, it is possible that they will commit to a

People are generally bigger than why people is a racist thing to say: where do you?
line and what is statistical fact in what is racist? How do you explain the difference to a ok so status,
This fact is not racist statistical factors, statistical fat- I mean it.
The statistical truth that there are more black
when the NBA than white people, that is our aim,
That is the statistical truth. It is also a statistical truth that in outsize percentage,
black people are committing an outside percentage of in the United States. That is not races. That is the truth, the point of the
and the people get more upset about second statement in the first is because their assuming the what you're saying that there is a biological components that links Blackfeet,
with martyr that it's because of their
asking that they are committing murder. That is where you lose
where you cross the line and racism by saying that there is an inherent connection between the color of your skin and the things.
You do, which is why so hilarious, that the left is constantly shouting racism when their entire case in the world is that black people must vote Democrat, because it is inherent in you as a black person, that you must vote Democrat and hold certain political values
believe, any of that I think everybody is an individual. That is the differ
between racism in statistics, statistics just say: a certain percentage of peace
Do this a certain percentage,
people do that
racist, say a certain for
your people? Do that because biologically their race drives them to do that, because there is not evidence for that. There is evidence that culture drives people to do certain things. Robert
spends. You think atheists. Moldova become the majority viewpoint in America. Do you believe it is
while trying to combat eighty is more. Should we just live and let live while I mean both, I think,
live and let live and also combat atheists em. So now I have no problem with atheists.
I think that there is a case to be made for four agnosticism, all that stuff
I think that is very bad for a society one eighties and becomes the predominant morality because
If it is not a moral
system. It's a system.
It is supposed to basically rejects the primacy of the individual human being in the end, because we're all just where
just here and there is no moral system that governs us per se. You can illustrate this way. Atheists and can have an individual libertarian shriek atheist can be leftist ape ism can be anything but religions
the christian religion is a very specific set of cultural values that attached to it and that's
important as the foundation of western civilization houses.
Using Democrats filibustering gorse. It will come back to buy them the, but that entirely depends on Trump

Philip, Austria. The question is: will trump go for a consensus pick because only a swing vote or will you
for someone solid, I don't know the answer to that. Obviously, I have my hopes and I have my suspicions, but that's really up to Trump final question.
Iraq? As I said,
I'm says dear wise trends and transgender mental disorder, but not homosexuality. So
The easy answer to I transgender Islamism, mental disorder, but not homosexuality- is that trend genders and makes it claim about the world that is materially false. Homosexuality is not so
This is a hidden agenda. This, the easiest distinction trends,
Andrews says I am a woman, no you're, not a woman,
transgender ISM, says I feel like a woman. Ok, but it says,
or that it is. I M a woman and I must be treated as a woman
is a delusion you're, not a woman you're, not a female inside a male body. None of that is true. I must actually says I'm attracted to a member of the same sex. That is factually true case.
There's that you're not at war with reality, you, maybe it will
the prevailing cultural norms, maybe at war with social norms? You may also be a war with with with you
socio conditions, because homosexuality is
associated in heavy measure which, with the rate of depression and homosexual community, are much higher than they are in the strait community, but that too
not mean that homosexuality is in and of itself a mental disorder, but transgender is in which makes a claim about the universe. That simply is not true as a mental disorder. In the same way that annex x, you say I am skinny, I am fat when they are actually skinny, that is a mental disorder.
As well. Ok, zebra
thus the male back, I'm glad we got two you're afraid
