and the republican guard were the ones who knew how to do it who these guerrilla fighters they fight in the mountains the most of them didn't have the technical know how they got it through the rains but they also got it through the republican guard so i think the who these are weakened but so is everyone else in yemen nobody is really gaining from what is going on at the moment and i think the iranians it will have to why would they step out now because there is an opportunity now the question is how are they going to step it up and yet is there an opportunity for someone else possibly not even yet on the saudis to step into this crisis now and perhaps find a solution to it we've you know heard of the u.n. being mentioned and so on the americans and so on who stands to gain if you will from resolving the current situation you know i've been doing. political and strategic analysis for so long that i'm no longer surprised by the stupidity of leaders. just don't shock me anymore. and i'm afraid that what happened today is going to move a good number of readers including the perso

patronage network involving some of his family you know ahmed is son is very important in the republican guard what will his role be and i think he's actually in the u.a.e. from what i remember i think he's still on the house arrest there but again these people even when they're not in the country they still have a reach you know there's so many different players and players and so many different layers that i think anybody who wants to solve the conflict now would probably have to focus on the north and leave the south to itself for now because that's the more immediate problem probably and into this into this morass because that is what it is what point did. un and in trying to work out any kind of peace process that they have attempted several times already of course there are three levels of this conversation level number one and that was the engine for why there was interest in yemen the war on terror. level number two the situation in yemen escalating and so sort of the political situation improving leading to a war at a level number three is diplomacy and political solutions and of cour

however, it appears, despite broad support from both republicans and democrats, the coast guard authorization act, a critical bill for homeland security, for the safety of our mariners and fishermen, and for showing the support of the thousands of men and women who serve in the coast guard, unfortunately the bill has become stuck. and as chairman of the committee responsible for the u.s. coast guard, i must speak up for the men and women of this important service and the critical services they provide, because this bill should have been moving months ago. mr. president, not only does this bill contain critical needs and authorizations and funding authorizations for the coast guard, it also contains provisions of vital importance to our maritime and fishing communities,. included in this legislation is important language to pharmaceutically fix an issue that has been around for years, one that pertains to incidental discharges for those in our fishing fleets, also known as the vessel incidental discharge act, or vida. it's part of the coast guard bill. currently, vessel owners and operators ar

republicans were very excited, even though eisenhower never really was that close to the more conservative wing of his party, the old guard. nonetheless, the republicans when he was elected had the house, the senate and the white house for the first time in 20 years and they thought, this is great, we will be able to roll back all of those new deal programs we dislike so much. during his presidency, eisenhower had a friend named bradford chenowith, a general who spent most of world war ii in a japanese prisoner war camp. but ike and chenoweth knew each other, other, and so they liked to write letters, and they used to have fine and heated debates. they liked discussing politics and philosophy. it started up when ike took office. chenowith was against federal welfare at all, so eisenhower described chenowith, why he's in favor of it, and of course he cites there's no more free land and untouched natural resources. since these are no longer here, the government has to step in and play that role, and that's why eisenhower tells chenowith he expanded social security to include another 10 million people. there is, again, that

the things is one of republicans definitely need to be on guard about. they want to look at the big picture issues like infrastructure, immigration, it will be the smaller things, like fisa, the visa for levels, where they are coming you know, separated within their own camps between conservatives and mainline republicans and these are the smaller things that i could over the long-term, get republicans off-track as they try to focus on maintaining the majority for 2018. these smaller fights create the divisions that could really harm them. host: what about the chip program, the health care program for children that expired last year? it got temporary funding in the stopgap spending measure, but lawmakers still have to do something to address that. what do you expect? guest: the debate will be on the offsets. were for a bill that would have paid for just. there was large republican by n, but democrats -- there was large but democrats-in, oppose that. this is something the republicans and democrats should be able to agree on. if both mcconnell and ryan are

republicans were very excited, even though eisenhower never really was that close to the more conservative wing of his party. the old guard -- but the republicans, when he was elected, had a house, senate and , white house for the first time in 20 years area they thought this is great because we can roll back all these new deal programs that we dislike so much. so during his presidency, eisenhower had a good friend -- maybe not a good friend -- but a friend, a general who spent most of world war ii in a japanese prisoner of war camp. -- chenowithwith had known each other in panama in the early 1920's. they used out all these fine heated debates. it started up again when he took office. his friend was against any kind of federal welfare at all. eisenhower in this paragraph describes to his friend why he is in favor of it, and he cites that there is no more free land and untouched natural resources. since these are no longer here, the government has to play that role. that is why eisenhower tells his friend that he expanded social security to include another 10 million people. so the again -- so again, there is an interesti

republican party has gotten a little messy. you have the bannonites, you have the more old guard, mitch mcconnell type republicans. there's going to be infighting between them, and you don't know if you can necessarily trust trump's judgment on which candidate to pick, on which side to go down. he'll go down either way, but it seems like the bannonites get to whisper in trump's ear, and it seems like they hold sway over a president. and the more they do that, the more you turn off the trump curious, the more you cut off the chances of getting people who are middle of the road. and again, this tax policy's not going to help, especially when you're talking about -- >> you don't think it's going to help? but you would think if the gop has a legislative win, it will help people on the campaign trail. >> but will people feel that? >> and will they feel the effects of that, exactly. but that could be turned on a positive, erin. >> yep, they're going to try to run on this in 2018 and point to it as trump keeping his promises and getting work done. then democrats will say, well, how did this tax cut benefit you and what h

this is a palace guard essentially the republican party has now decided to construct wall after wall after wall around trump. it is not just uranium-1. it's deputy mccabe. it's mueller. comey. they just building wall after wall. and it's elijah cummings said, this is the benghazi approach. right? elijah cummings counts six committees investigating the fbi, investigating the investigators. this is not by chance. there's nothing there. they haven't proven anything. this is a corrupt and dangerous and kind of treasonist way to deal with law enforcement. nobody say it is doj can't be criticized. that is party that will smear anyone to protect trump. and again, it's the benghazi kitchen sink approach. if it's uranium-1 today, fine. people forget about that. the dossier, mueller. it is endless. >> yeah. >> they're using the gears of the federal government to try to stop another investigation. it's unprecedented. richard nixon never had anything like this. >> he wished he did and what he would have dreamed of. jonathan, you have donald trump signaling, signals what he wants republicans to d

why those three days in january, a transition from eisenhower to kennedy, from republican to democrat, from the old guard to the new frontier, were a crucial time in our history. >> the turnover, the keys to this closet probably gave him some pause. he didn't know kennedy very well. and there was a lot of rhetoric during that campaign that led him to be concerned about perhaps the beginning of a period where fear would play a much bigger role in national life. >> the times were indeed changing. and that was both a promise and a threat. >> ike's farewell speech has gone down in history as, i think, a caution to those who listened. the struggles that america had, talking clearly about russia, but also the struggles within america that were brought about by technological revolution that was occurring and the lack of balance. >> i thought that it was just ordinary speech. like many people thought about president eisenhower, not of one of the greatest world leader but just the president who could just play golf. and now i thought -- think that it is one of the wisest speech. >> perhaps it's time for a new loo

court nominees confirmed his first year than did president obama is because republicans are removed -- have removed any guard rails on our confirmation process. the guardrails that they insisted on when there's a democratic president, no matter how careful the democratic president was in picking that person, they had to have these guardrails, and i thought, actually, the guardrails made sense. the second you have a president who nominates extreme judges, we don't need the guardrails anymore because president trump would never make a mistake. the nominees have had hearings scheduled before we even get the ratings, ultimate many circuit court nominees are regularly stacked on a single panel, something that republicans insisted should not be done when there's a democratic president and now, unfortunately, the chairman, who is a friend of mine and a man i respect, has reversed his own blue slip policy. he's begun to advance nominees without favorable blue ships from both home state senators. that's the first time this has been done with -- since the last two presidents. i fear we're doing lasting damage to our n

and that's what in placard .hows more than anything else, residents guard their own money and that's why this is so .mportant republicans pose as the champions of local control. in fact, they want the federal government out of much of its own federal business and let the states and localities handle it. how could they then abandon that principle when it comes to the nation's capital? so look at these numbers. red and blue. that democrats and republicans, d.c. should control their own budget slightly more red states. congress should control d.c.'s budget, look at how the numbers deflate. 24% blue. 22% red. anybody who thinks about it knows the answer. and that is one of the reasons 'm standing here this evening. because i think numbers like this show that what i'm saying about local control, about equality in this body represents the views of the american people and find anybody in this body to show differently. ultimately we recognize on this 44th anniversary of the signing of the home rule act that there s no substitute for statehood. i should mention that the congress experimented with home the for some time before ho

the things is one of republicans definitely need to be on guard about.y want to look at the big picture issues like infrastructure, immigration, it will be the smaller things, like fisa, the visa for levels, where they are coming you know, separated within their own camps between conservatives and mainline republicans and these are the smaller things that i could over the long-term, get republicans off-track as they try to focus on maintaining the majority for 2018. these smaller fights create the divisions that could really harm them. host: what about the chip program, the health care program for children that expired last year? it got temporary funding in the stopgap spending measure, but lawmakers still have to do something to address that. what do you expect? guest: the debate will be on the offsets. were for a bill that would have paid for just. there was large republican by n, but democrats -- there was large but democrats-in, oppose that. this is something the republicans and democrats should be able to agree on. if both mcconnell and ryan are loo
