John Avlon Gets Destroyed by Maher’s Panel for Claiming Biden-Harris Admin is Stronger Against Authoritarian Regimes than Trump Was

LOWRY I do not ░░░░░░░░ conservative Republicans supporting Kamala ░░░░░░░░ That does not AVLON ░░░░░░░░ hold on Let s ░░░░░░░░ through it It s ░░░░░░░░ just about right it ░░░░░░░░ about one person wants ░░░░░░░░ strengthen NATO and all ░░░░░░░░ multilateral security arrangements that ░░░░░░░░ helped keep the peace ░░░░░░░░ the best part for ░░░░░░░░ most part since the ░░░░░░░░ World War the other ░░░░░░░░ to sell out to ░░░░░░░░ lot of these autocratic ░░░░░░░░ That s a personal ░░░░░░░░ political decision I think ░░░░░░░░ s actually consistent Also ░░░░░░░░ think it s healthy ░░░░░░░░ you know I think ░░░░░░░░ get more Republicans endorsing ░░░░░░░░ it makes the point ░░░░░░░░ this election is about ░░░░░░░░ bigger It s about ░░░░░░░░ a broad patriotic coalition ░░░░░░░░ LOWRY Again the U ░░░░░░░░ military was stronger not ░░░░░░░░ when Trump was done ░░░░░░░░ his first term And ░░░░░░░░ was actually he said ░░░░░░░░ lot of dumb things ░░░░░░░░ Putin but he supported ░░░░░░░░ more than Obama did ░░░░░░░░ he was harder on ░░░░░░░░ than any prior president ░░░░░░░░ now that position has ░░░░░░░░ a kind of bipartisan ░░░░░░░░ MAHER Wait wait we ░░░░░░░░ someone who McMASTER Well ░░░░░░░░ mean this is a ░░░░░░░░ part of the book ░░░░░░░░ mean he actually did ░░░░░░░░ s the first one ░░░░░░░░ provided defensive capabilities to ░░░░░░░░ Ukrainians LOWRY I try ░░░░░░░░ tell you guys but ░░░░░░░░ don t believe it ░░░░░░░░ H R says it ░░░░░░░░ McMASTER But then he ░░░░░░░░ suspend that assistance to ░░░░░░░░ dirt on the Bidens ░░░░░░░░ you know you said ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t say reckless ░░░░░░░░ would say inconsistent erratic ░░░░░░░░ fecklessness And I do ░░░░░░░░ that when you talk ░░░░░░░░ like coddling authoritarian regimes ░░░░░░░░ at what this administration ░░░░░░░░ done with the Iranians ░░░░░░░░ mean the Supreme Leader ░░░░░░░░ gotten an easy ride ░░░░░░░░ the Biden Administration They ░░░░░░░░ t even want to ░░░░░░░░ Iran s role in ░░░░░░░░ 7th at the beginning ░░░░░░░░ still have not really ░░░░░░░░ or actually enforced the ░░░░░░░░ against the Iranians since ░░░░░░░░ 7th and with them ░░░░░░░░ the whole Middle East ░░░░░░░░ fire So I think ░░░░░░░░ s a more complicated ░░░░░░░░ is what I m ░░░░░░░░ John AVLON But McMASTE ░░░░░░░░ You know you can ░░░░░░░░ just make these statements ░░░░░░░░ Hold on H R ░░░░░░░░ love you man But ░░░░░░░░ on Like we ve ░░░░░░░░ one guy saying we ░░░░░░░░ we should pull out ░░░░░░░░ NATO right we should ░░░░░░░░ Putin can do whatever ░░░░░░░░ hell he wants basically ░░░░░░░░ a yellow light to ░░░░░░░░ on Taiwan I mean ░░░░░░░░ know the autocratic alliance ░░░░░░░░ warn about is in ░░░░░░░░ cases rooting for Donald ░░░░░░░░ because they think it ░░░░░░░░ to American division and ░░░░░░░░ Tell me where I ░░░░░░░░ wrong McMASTER Well what ░░░░░░░░ m saying is there ░░░░░░░░ some things right there ░░░░░░░░ some things where Donald ░░░░░░░░ s right I mean ░░░░░░░░ s some things where ░░░░░░░░ s right There are ░░░░░░░░ things where he s ░░░░░░░░ erratic and inconsistent Where ░░░░░░░░ he right on I ░░░░░░░░ he s been right ░░░░░░░░ energy security for example ░░░░░░░░ think he s been ░░░░░░░░ on reciprocity and trade ░░░░░░░░ s been right on ░░░░░░░░ sharing But then again ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump he s ░░░░░░░░ disruptive right He disrupts ░░░░░░░░ needs to be disrupted ░░░░░░░░ but then he goes ░░░░░░░░ to disrupt himself and ░░░░░░░░ becomes kind of the ░░░░░░░░ in his own story ░░░░░░░░ I mean so you ░░░░░░░░ got a choice right ░░░░░░░░ this election People have ░░░░░░░░ make the choice between ░░░░░░░░ I would say are ░░░░░░░░ self destructive policies at ░░░░░░░░ for the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ the Middle East on ░░░░░░░░ war in Israel but ░░░░░░░░ the war in the ░░░░░░░░ and kind of the ░░░░░░░░ nature of President Trump ░░░░░░░░ these are the questions ░░░░░░░░ candidates have to be ░░░░░░░░ What are their positions ░░░░░░░░ these issues on NATO ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine on the war ░░░░░░░░ the Middle East LOWRY ░░░░░░░░ think this you know ░░░░░░░░ than I do but ░░░░░░░░ hit on Soleimani I ░░░░░░░░ was shocking It wasn ░░░░░░░░ a major war One ░░░░░░░░ one guy I think ░░░░░░░░ with American blood on ░░░░░░░░ hands around the world ░░░░░░░░ less easily after that ░░░░░░░░ And it just went ░░░░░░░░ the fact that he ░░░░░░░░ deterrent force People were ░░░░░░░░ or worried about him ░░░░░░░░ a way they haven ░░░░░░░░ been of Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ Look the bipartisan consensus ░░░░░░░░ more American foreign policy ░░░░░░░░ we should stand up ░░░░░░░░ tyrants and terrorists right ░░░░░░░░ I do believe that ░░░░░░░░ I do think that ░░░░░░░░ learned a lot in ░░░░░░░░ wake of the Iraq ░░░░░░░░ But the fact is ░░░░░░░░ that right now if ░░░░░░░░ re strong on national ░░░░░░░░ one party s leader ░░░░░░░░ to be trying to ░░░░░░░░ NATO and the other ░░░░░░░░ has expanded it and ░░░░░░░░ it LOWRY A lot ░░░░░░░░ that is working them ░░░░░░░░ try to get them ░░░░░░░░ spend more But I ░░░░░░░░ t see the Afghan ░░░░░░░░ does this compute at ░░░░░░░░ in your AVLON There ░░░░░░░░ no reason Pompeo should ░░░░░░░░ negotiated with the Taliban ░░░░░░░░ in Doha LOWRY But ░░░░░░░░ was a conditions based ░░░░░░░░ Biden didn t accept ░░░░░░░░ else that Trump did ░░░░░░░░ he was supposedly forced ░░░░░░░░ Trump to do a ░░░░░░░░ That was totally incompetent ░░░░░░░░ a disgrace His presidency ░░░░░░░░ not recovered from it ░░░░░░░░ and our position abroad ░░░░░░░░ t recovered from it ░░░░░░░░ McMASTER And I think ░░░░░░░░ can draw a direct ░░░░░░░░ from that disastrous humiliating ░░░░░░░░ to the re invasion ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine in February of ░░░░░░░░ I mean I think ░░░░░░░░ s weakness what is ░░░░░░░░ is the perception of ░░░░░░░░
