HOUR 1
Opinion writer for the Washington Post and author of “The Director” DAVID IGNATIUS weighed in on the Gaza crisis and explained that Secretary John Kerry went wrong in his cease-fire negotiations because he went to Turkey and Qatar to try and broker a peace and that actually may have set back U.S relations with Israel and moderate Arab nations like Palestine, Egypt and others. What everyone wants is a demilitarized Gaza and a new regime in the area.
Congressman SEAN DUFFY (R-WI) talked about what he thinks Congress can get done before they go on recess this Thursday. He explained that one of the things they will do is bring up the lawsuit against the President to remind him that he can’t just re-write laws without Congress. If they don’t stop him now a future president may be able to change any law, including the tax laws and re-write them any way he wants. Congressman Duffy also said that they will not leave without addressing the border problem and immigration saying that they will reunite the children with their parents in their country of origin. He also feels that the President has been weak in dealing with Russia and his “strongly worded” letter is not enough.
