Talking about the Hegseth hearing. As a former Dem I am so shocked that Dems refuse to see that it's not inside game or strategy or who goes on what podcast. iI's that, your ideas suck. No one wants woke communism anymore.
Outstanding show, as usual. Your show is becoming my morning 'go-to' especially since I'm in PST zone (so three hours behind) and can come up to speed on the days events. Thank you, Mark!
47 is a LEGENDARY PHENOMENON. Enjoy the ride. Embrace the feeling. Live the New Golden Age. All of 47's cabinet will be approved. Life in America will return to true hope and true change.
Born and raised in Illinois. I was disgusted with Tammy Duckworth's screaming attack of Hegseth. I am not a Hegseth fan, but he won that battle keeping his cool and not reacting to her nasty attack. Can she not act professionally and ask her questions calmly?
I am pretty sure it is.... one time he got up and brought us to another room in the house and showed us his great-grandfather's congressional medal of honor (framed and on the wall)...... and another time, Mark Halperin was in the Washington, DC area and did his 2-Way tonight from Sean's house (from that room) and said he was at Sean's house.....
Being governor of a state means having to do stuff and being held accountable when things go wrong. Newsom is finding that out now. Dont think Harris is equipped for that.
@paracom256 your response displays the exact problem with our society that can't discern the role of defense a father has to his family. It is a dysfunctional society that would needlessly put mothers in the front line of combat.
@@parcomolo256 completely different. The percentage of males qualify is overwhelmingly higher than the percentage of females. Therefore the cost of adjusting to accommodate the few females is not fiscally or mission responsible. I am sure a few 14 year olds could qualify but to adjust to accommodate their mental immaturity of the average 14 year old is not needed. See what Ukraine has done and they are loosing. We do not require woman to register.
My greatest disappointment with the Heagseth (sp) hearing was no senator of either party asked about recruitment. The traditional rural recruits the all volunteer force relies on stopped showing up during the mandatory Covid vax program and DEI style culture issues made it worse. We are on a glide slope to a one million servicemen force if nothing changes. So…why did all of the senators ignore the issue? And why didn’t Heagseth (sp) mention the issue in his opening statement?😢
Moynihan’s “Defining Deviancy Down” comes to mind with Hegseth. I suppose it began with Clinton, who survived a public revaluation of debauchery (JFK’s was hidden), and has blossomed since. No real questions on what in the hell DOD’s direction should be, what the threat is that needs to be countered and how to do it. What weapons, procurement reform, ships, planes, etc. It was amateur hour without depth, just nutty social issues.
I like 2way as we all do. We all learned a lot here. I must say I Like Sean and Mark, but for me, a Republican to respect a Democrat, Dan is the Man. If Democrat Leadership wants to find a way back to popularity, hire Dan for advice or Run Dan as a candidate and you got a winner there! Intelligence and honesty were never on display in the Candidate for President, Biden, House , Senate or any Departments Heads. I know at least 75% of citizens always felt lied that also and belittled when we were spoken too. Just like Zuckerberg said, he was told to change the truth into a lie by the Biden group. Now the democrats in the confirmation committees carry on the same BS we all experianced for 4 years. When sleazy, greasy guys like Jamie Ratskin or Dan Goldberg are your best, you got a long way to go! More democrats like Dan would give Republicans something to worry about!
Dan T is brilliant. Someone should hire him as the DNC Chair or as their campaign manager. He’s so well grounded. I’m a conservative but find his assessment spot on. I hope the Democrats continue to ignore him; otherwise, if Dems change in the direction he’s speaking, conservative rule will be short lived
The decision for 'her' to run for anything is not her decision alone, that would lie within the gustapo, they're gonna want someone who can win. She can't imo. Neither can Gav.
Dan needs more time to talk, he has good insight but the audience only values his opinion if it’s clear the other two also value his opinion and lately that hasn’t been obvious
I disagree regarding your analysis: I think all three model collegiality and mutual respect very well; it's part of the secret sauce that makes the Morning Meeting compellingly refreshing. As to Dan talking more, I partly agree - his contributions are mostly solid and apposite; but he doesn't strike me as a shrinking violet - he can certainly make his voice heard when he wants to and sometimes people who speak a little less, benefit from extra time to craft their points to make more impact and I think that's a little bit of what's happening with Dan.
1) Hoodies have hoods. 2) The female senators shrieking at Hegseth made a better case for why females shouldn't be allowed in congress than why females should be in combat.
The FBI owns that - She can credibly deny any complicity in actual entrapment. To the extent that the details are more widely known, it will prevent her from leveraging it for positive political gains, but it's highly unlikely to be much of a drag on her prospects unless some damaging evidence of actual collusion emerges.
You didn’t want to hear what Grassley had to say. Wonder why. Well, I did and you muted it! Leaving the show to go find his opening speech somewhere else. Otherwise enjoyed the content today.
I don’t think Mark was trying to silence Sen. Grassley. He has to facilitate this show in a way that keeps things moving. He needs to make enough time for the audience to ask questions and finish at the 1 hour mark. TBH we would be here all day if this show wasn’t effectively moderated. I don’t think we give enough credit to Mr. Halperin for his facilitation skills.
“Intelligence and honesty” 🙄yet you choose and support the most devious duplicitous ignoramus we’ve ever had in the oval office. AGAIN! After we endured his first inept attempt at autocracy.
Love you guys, but you are leaning way too maga. I get that you are over playing Trump‘s win because basically the overall vote count wasn’t that big. And I love Dan but maybe you should find also a more supportive Democrat. Maybe even someone almost liberal. I appreciate your motto of peace, love and understanding, but you need to do a little bit more to bring it into fruition .. But hey, really grateful for your program.
So your complaint is they dont agree with you enough so they are wrong. this is exactly why the democrats lost, if people aren’t in 99% agreement with them they just have a tantrum and dismiss them. Wake up
Dan's a Dem strategist, which means his job is to give Dems the dose of medicine they need without sugar coating it. Kamala lost for a reason, and Dan's trying to tell Dems to wake up and snap back to reality.
Just give it more time, Trump is at his peak right now, he will start expending political capital and Dems will have a bit more authority and they can talk more about them then.
Is it possible for you to get a little more fair balanced? Leaning very very Trump at all times even Dan. Sometimes. What about John Favre? He’s very reasonable and sensible. You need that kind of voice
They don’t agree with you 100% so you want to replace them This is exactly why democrats lost They only want to hear people that 100% affirm what they think Wake up you are in an echo chamber
I am MAGA & love the addition of Dan on 2Way . He is a Democrat that is fair. He admits when his party has overplayed their hand. He’s the Democrat before they went too far left & went woke.
I so enjoy 2WAY. Your show is entertaining and intellectually stimulating. Keep up the good work.

It was insulting the way she spoke to a decorated war vet as if he had no experience or clue of war and servicemen tribulations.
Show and tell. Her behavior showed everyone the type of legislator she is - combative, unprofessional - Oh, but that's the Dim way, isn't it?
Duckworth is worthless. She’s not worthy of the office
I hope Sean’s background is a real room in his house. It’s just gorgeous! I’m jealous.

One of the women grilling Hegseth was asking why he had a problem w/ mothers going into combat. Shouldn't we all have a problem with that?
Of course we should - just like we have with fathers going into combat.
@paracom256 your response displays the exact problem with our society that can't discern the role of defense a father has to his family. It is a dysfunctional society that would needlessly put mothers in the front line of combat.
@@greggranja9 Ideally we wouldn't put fathers in the front line either.
Yes, women should not be in combat but they shouldn't be in places of authority period.

He has done hours of podcasts talking about his views. Just watch them.
I believe he and a Republican senator had a discussion about recruitment
Hirono and Duckworth are beyond embarrassing! ... "Pathetic" is the correct term here!!!
@@sas6561 Hirono sounded drunk
Totally agree with Paul in France- I was embarrassed by the female democratic senators
Seeing Sean humbling mark was quite enjoyable lol
Dan was spot on the Democrats lost effectiveness with their hysterical delivery. Duckworth was embarrassing.

Dan it's Bondi not Biondi. As often as Mark told people how to pronounce Kamala, I wish he would correct him.
The decision for 'her' to run for anything is not her decision alone, that would lie within the gustapo, they're gonna want someone who can win. She can't imo. Neither can Gav.
One sec def every four to eight years retiring compared to numerous Generals and high ranking officers retiring every year is a big difference.
I hear very few questions in these hearings, congress mostly likes to hear themselves talk.
Excelente programa. Saludos desde NY 🗽🗽🗽🗽
Great video and great guests
Wonderful episode. Thank you.
Dan needs more time to talk, he has good insight but the audience only values his opinion if it’s clear the other two also value his opinion and lately that hasn’t been obvious

Spicer stuck it to Halperin, YOU may have been fed what to talk about...
Know Mark is above reading comments - ten of us at our gym were appalled at the way he treated the Pete interview. Bye!
Serious question, am I missing something? How can Gretchen whitmer run for president after the FBI entrapment scheme?
The FBI owns that - She can credibly deny any complicity in actual entrapment. To the extent that the details are more widely known, it will prevent her from leveraging it for positive political gains, but it's highly unlikely to be much of a drag on her prospects unless some damaging evidence of actual collusion emerges.
She was the “victim”😥😥😥
@vc6984 guess that answers my question, there are people who really don't know that it was FBI entrapment? Guess it all depends which media you follow
"Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."
As much as i like him, Sean talks too much. Be pithy, Sean. Pithy.
and Mark has a bad habit of interrupting......and he cuts Dan off way, way too much.
VIVA TULSI! VIVA RFK! VIVA TRUMP!!
MEGYN KELLY saved Pete..

Why is Dan drinking a Margarita so early in the morning?
See you guys Feb 2
How could Harris and Imhoff afford 20k month?????
“Intelligence and honesty” 🙄yet you choose and support the most devious duplicitous ignoramus we’ve ever had in the oval office. AGAIN! After we endured his first inept attempt at autocracy.
good riddens biden and dems
The term "flood the zone" is used too much. Time to find another way to describe that dynamic.

If trumps total was so small what about the other contender
So your complaint is they dont agree with you enough so they are wrong. this is exactly why the democrats lost, if people aren’t in 99% agreement with them they just have a tantrum and dismiss them.
Wake up
Dan's a Dem strategist, which means his job is to give Dems the dose of medicine they need without sugar coating it. Kamala lost for a reason, and Dan's trying to tell Dems to wake up and snap back to reality.
Stop fighting against reality.
Just give it more time, Trump is at his peak right now, he will start expending political capital and Dems will have a bit more authority and they can talk more about them then.
Is it possible for you to get a little more fair balanced? Leaning very very Trump at all times even Dan. Sometimes. What about John Favre? He’s very reasonable and sensible. You need that kind of voice
Every major media outlet save Fox is nothing but dem talking points. Along comes an outlet more balanced and your ears bleed
They don’t agree with you 100% so you want to replace them
This is exactly why democrats lost
They only want to hear people that 100% affirm what they think
Wake up you are in an echo chamber
You mean leaning towards reality. If you want to live in your fake world there is plenty of mainstream outlets for you to slurp up.
John favre is far from balanced. If he was balanced, he would have seen Kamala's pitfalls John favre is far from balanced.

Democrat's new strategy is to look natural? Okay, drop this silly smile.
What is with Dan goofing smiling non stop? Very odd and off putting
Disagree strongly- don't take any notice Dan, it's your most endearing feature
But the right was rude talking about Kamala’s off putting kackle of uncontrolled inappropriate laugh?
I am MAGA & love the addition of Dan on 2Way . He is a Democrat that is fair. He admits when his party has overplayed their hand. He’s the Democrat before they went too far left & went woke.
Halperin's narcissism is crazy.
Na, that’s not true.
He's upset his BS got exposed so fast...
Halprin always says “we” when he refers to the demorat side. Reveals his loyalty to the corrupt left
Narcissism is generally an impediment to good journalism and Mark is an excellent journalist.
