When I Wake Up In The Morning,

I Believe The United States Is The Greatest Country On Earth. I Really Do.

Engaging Iran Won't Guarantee Improved U.s.-iranian Relations Or A More Stable Gulf Region. But Not Engaging Means More Of The Same.

I Think That The Only Time We Will Really Know What Then-president Trump Is Going To Do About The Set Of Challenges That Confront Him Is After He Has Sat Down With His Advisers As The Commander In Chief, When He's Looking At The Threats And The Intelligence From The Standpoint Of Being The Number One Decider, When He's Hearing From His Secretary Of Defense, His Chairman, Who Was The Same Chairman President Obama Had, Chairman Joe Dunford, Who Is An Outstanding Public Servant, Who Has Led Our Anti-isil Effort, On Which We're Making Great Progress.

I Was Interning In The Cbs Sports Affiliate In Atlanta With Robin Roberts.... I Was Taking Notes On A Braves-padres Game, And On The Live Feed Came Footage Of These Kids Protesting And Getting Crushed During The Tiananmen Square Uprising In China In 1989. In That Moment I Became Like A Lot Of Young People In This Country Today, Horrified And Inspired But Confused As To What I Might Do.

I Was Working In The Same Building As U.s. News & World Report, And I Banged On The Door And Said, "i'm Ready To Go." And They Said, "what's Your Combat Experience?" I Said, "does My Parents' Divorce Count? It Was Pretty Rough." Then They Said, "what's Your Reporting Experience?" And I Said, "i Covered The Women's Volleyball Team In College Exceptionally Well." The Guy Was Like, "you Are So Not Ready To Be A War Correspondent."
