history but i asked george w. bush once why he kept norman minute. it's not like george w. sh could not have found -- it's not like he could not have found a republican to be the secretary of transportation. norm was a relatively liberal democrat. that is how he described himself, as a liberal democrat from the bay area of california, the child of immigrants. often, people from that demographic have a very different view of how government should work and what the role of government is. and that was a little different than how george w. bush viewed the role of government so i asked him why did you keep norman panetta in your cabinet when you could have gotten somebody from your own party to do it? his answer really struck me. he said there was no better servant for america then norman panetta. i thought like what a legacy to leave. not that he was the best member of the democratic party or norm agreed to do whatever i told him . norm was the most loyal to my views his view was that there was no better servant for america and what an incredible thing to be known for. host: o o

even the hapless george w bush said at one point that enough is enough. and before his fame is a road map that eventually led to kind of a serious piece negotiation of the old met piece plan. so, you know, trump is actually to get them following, and the tradition of republicans will actually, you know, apply some pressure on israel. any trump demonstrated, well, he can do it. the question is, will he persist with this? um, because he is going to come under a great deal of pressure. i mean, it's already being applied against them. you know, to knock it off. same thing. what will happen with the ukraine? he's currently outlining some kind of a vision or bringing this the thing to an end. now it does offer a lot of um, the steps along the way and with the heat. they will definitely be an enormous effort, both in washington and brussels in london to swore any attempt on trump spot to uh, bring this uh a what blower and ukraine to minute. i want to talk about you claiming the 2nd half of the pro brandon marketing. the, the, it is possible that the piece feele

george w bush. the congress that already passed with is colloquially known as the hey, invasion of 2005. right, in which the us said that it would actually invade the hague if the americans were prosecuted by the i c. c. so this sort of you know, a policy the us is long in the make. we'll all right area. germany said they wouldn't arrest nathan. yeah, who, because of its own, that's the past and now poland said that you will and saw nothing. you all can vivid an arch wides. uh, also with the come on the ration both countries a full fledged members of the i c. c. how does this even work? well, it works because the west of decides when they want to follow the law when they don't want to. but you're right. i mean the hypocrisy is incredible. the fact that nazi germany was responsible for the hollow cost means that they shouldn't be supporting israel's, all the cost of that it's committing in the portal. and of course uh, should also given the what the collaboration of the leave of, of, of the liberatio

over it's foreign policy and taking george w bush promised the same thing. and then he, a media his administration immediately set about trying to remake the middle east. bill clinton did the same thing and then they ended up getting the car voting up of serbia in, in the middle of europe as well as getting entangled elsewhere around the world. so there is an orthodoxy of foreign policy, right? and this is, you know, clearly decided on, you know, ben rhodes called at the blog, you can call it the deep state, you can call it the permanent bureaucracy. but these are the real people that decide us for and in military policy. and they are not elected and they don't go away, certainly not very easily. victoria newland is no longer part of the administration, but she has almost certainly a key constituent part of the blog and her husband kagan just reminded us of that with an article, the cry, trump position on ukraine going forward. so i think that actually this is probably going to consume a great deal of the trump presidency over the next few years as he tries
