IN LIGHT OF CURRENT EVENTS,
GRABBED MY HAND AND LET’S WALK
DOWN MEMORY LANE ALL THE WAY
BACK TO 2012 WHEN THEN
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE MITT ROMNEY BY
DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA FOR
DARING TO SAY THAT RUSSIA WAS
QUOTE OUR NUMBER ONE
GEOPOLITICAL FOLK.
THEN PRESIDENT OBAMA AT THE TIME
ANNOUNCED ON ROMNEY AT THE THIRD
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.
>> A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN YOU ARE
ASKED WHAT’S THE BIGGEST
GEOPOLITICAL THREAT FACING
AMERICA AND YOU SAID RUSSIA.
NOT AL QAEDA, HE SAID RUSSIA.
THE 1980s NOW CALLING FOR THE
FOREIGN POLICY BACK BECAUSE THE
COLD WAR HAS BEEN OVER 20 YEARS.
GUY: SIX VERN, JOE BIDEN PILED
ON OF COURSE THINK ROMNEY ACTS
LIKE HE THINKS THE COLD WAR IS
STILL ON.
I DON’T KNOW WHERE HE’S BEEN
PRETTY FAST BOARD TEN YEARS AND
RUSSIA HAS NOW INVADED OVER THE
TEN YEARS OF DEMOCRATIC U.S.
ALLY FOR THE SECOND TIME ONCE
UNDER OBAMA, CAP ONCE UNDER
BIDEN.
SO THE DEMOCRATS ARE ON THE HOOK
FOR NOT TAKING ROMNEY’S WARNING
MORE SERIOUSLY BACK THEN?
RUNNING ME NOW FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTE OR AND FEDERALIST
EDITOR IN CHIEF, MOLLIE
HEMINGWAY, GREAT TO SEE YOU.
>> RIGHT TO BE HERE WITH YOU.
GUY: I DON’T WANT TO HIT TOO
MUCH ON THIS BUT I THINK THIS
ILLUSTRATES THIS PHENOMENA
STARKLY.
BACK THEN, A TWEET FROM --
METHINKS THIS IS THE BEST LINE
OF ALL THREE DEBATES AND HE
CALLED MIKE DROP MOMENT IN
ANOTHER TWEET.
HERE’S THE : FROM TODAY AT CNN.COM.
IT’S TIME TO ADMIT ROMNEY WAS
RIGHT ABOUT RUSSIA JUST IN THE
NICK OF TIME.
DON’T RUSH INTO IT, CHRIS, TEN
YEARS LATER.
YOUR REACTION TO THIS IN
GENERAL?
TO ME, I REMEMBER HIGH-FIVING
AFTER OBAMA HAD THAT REHEARSED
LINE IF HE STUCK IT TO ROMNEY.
THEY SPENT SHALL WE SAY A BIT OF
A SHIFT IN THE MEDIA’S TONE
ABOUT RUSSIA IN THE INTERVENING
YEARS?
>> THE MEDIA WERE ABSOLUTELY
HORRIFIC TO MITT ROMNEY DURING
THAT DEBATE AND EVERYTHING ABOUT
THAT CAMPAIGN BUT THEY WERE
WRONG ONLY BECAUSE THEY WANTED
THEIR FAVORITE PRESENT EVER
BARACK OBAMA TO WIN THE ELECTION
IF THE FACT IS THAT BOTH OF
THOSE PEOPLE WERE WRONG WITH THE
DEBATE.
BOTH MITT ROMNEY AND BARACK
OBAMA WERE WRONG.
MITT ROMNEY SAID RUSSIA WAS OUR
NUMBER ONE GEOPOLITICAL BOAT AND
BARACK OBAMA SAID IT WAS AL
QAEDA.
NEITHER OF THEM WERE FOCUSING ON
THE ACTUAL NUMBER ONE
GEOPOLITICAL ADVERSARY WAS WAS
CHINA AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
FOCUSING ON IT THEN SHOULD BE
FOCUSING ON IT NOW BUT THE
FLIP-FLOPS ARE NOT ABOUT OUR
FOREIGN POLICY ESTABLISHMENT
UNDERSTANDING HOW TO PRIORITIZE
THREATS TO THE COUNTRY, IT’S
JUST ABOUT WRONG POLITICAL POWER
POWER.
THEY MOCKED ROMNEY AND BECAUSE
THEY WANTED BARACK OBAMA TO WIN
AND NOW THEY’VE HEARD ONE 80
DEGREES, JOE BIDEN IS HAVING A
BAD PRESIDENCY AND WANT TO USE
AS A WAY TO GET EVERYBODY OFF
THE TOPIC OF HIS OTHER FAILURES.
GUY: HE HAD BETTER POINTS AS I
HAVE ALL BUT ON AND NOW THEY ARE
FINALLY WILLING TO CONCEDE A
DECADE LATER SO LET’S LOOK INTO
A CRYSTAL BALL, TEN YEARS FROM
NOW, WHAT YOU THINK THE MEDIA
MIGHT FINALLY ADMIT TO US?
>> I HAVE LOW EXPECTATIONS.
YOU SAID SOMETHING A MINUTE AGO
ABOUT HOW PUTIN INVADED UKRAINE
UNDER BARACK OBAMA AND UNDER NOW JOE BIDEN.
JOE BIDEN.
THE ONE PRESIDENT HE DIDN’T DO
IT UNDER WAS DONALD TRUMP WHO
HAD A DIFFERENT FOREIGN POLICY
AND DID NOT DO THAT.
SO I HAVE NO EXPECTATIONS.
I ASSUME THEY STILL WILL PUSH
THAT I GUESS WHERE WE SHOULD
FOCUS OUR INTERESTS BUT THEY ARE
WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING SO MAYBE
THEY WILL BE WRONG ABOUT FOREIGN
POLICY IN THE YEARS TO COME AND
WILL LEARN NOTHING BECAUSE
THAT’S THE ONE THING ABOUT OUR
FOREIGN POLICY ESTABLISHMENT NO
MATTER HOW MUCH THEY GET WRONG
BY THE GETTING IT WRONG ON HOW
TO FIGHT WARS OR WHICH WAS TO
INTERVENE AND, THEY NEVER LEARN
IT’S THE SAME PEOPLE COMING BACK
YEAR AFTER YEAR WITH MORE THAT I
GUESS.
GUY: I’M WAITING, I DON’T KNOW
WHEN, IT MIGHT BE SOON FROM THE
REVISIONISM FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE ON TRUMP, IT’S THE
PERSPECTIVE ON TRUMP, IT’S THE
NEXT REPUBLICAN WHOSE MORE EVIL
THAN EVER AND WE SEEN HINTS OF
THIS WITH RON DESANTIS, I THINK
THERE’S GOING TO BE
REHABILITATION OF TRUMP FOR
THEIR POWER POLITICS PURPOSES,
MAYBE SOONER THAN TEN YEARS FROM
NOW.
WE GOT TO LEAVE IT THERE, WE
APPRECIATE --
>> OKAY.
GUY: NO, GO AHEAD.
>> JUST I DON’T THINK PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH MISTREATMENT
MITT ROMNEY BROUGHT ON DONALD
TRUMP.
WE SAW THE MARINE MEDIA WERE HORRIFIC TO THIS VERY NICE GUY
HORRIFIC TO THIS VERY NICE GUY
AND WE ALL SET THERE’S NO REASON
TO EVER CARE WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS
ABOUT ANY REPUBLICAN.
GUY: IT WAS A RADICALIZING
OFFENSE AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT
WHAT -- I’M GLAD YOU JUMPED IN
BECAUSE I WAS IMPORTANT TO SAY.
