Description

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) joins Sam Stein and Lauren Egan to give his take on why Trump’s Venezuela policy risks another disastrous war. A veteran of the Iraq War, Gallego says the administration is lying about its intentions, prioritizing oil interests and deportation deals over stability and democracy. He also discusses his Senate amendment to block military force against Greenland, Trump’s threats to NATO, and what the January 6 anniversary tells us about the state of American democracy.

I heard another Democrat politician on NPR today saying she doesn't take Stephen Miller seriously and I wanted to scream. I'm glad to see Sen. Gallego sees things clearly.

Thank you Senator Gallego for acting like an adult in the room instead of pretending this clown show is ok and not dangerous to the entire world.

I love hearing a sitting senator refer tot the president as " this dumb man" and one of the president's closest advisors as "that prick"!

Only Americans ever thought "the Greenland thing" was a joke, Lauren. I promise you, Canadians took it very seriously. Senator Gallego is exactly right about why Trump wants Greenland, and Canada and wherever else. He said it more politely, but it's implicit in what he said: Taking other countries will make his peepee feel bigger. Wake up, America.

A politician who doesn't hedge. Or lie. What a concept!

FINALLY!!! I'm so glad to hear someone say that "He has no foreign policy." It needs to be repeated over and over.
