The short of it, and I wish I had DVR'd the show and captured the closed caption, but I did not, is this:
Joe said you DO NOT meet with people who are a threat to the region, send or support terrorists to kill our troops, support Iran and the destruction of Israel, lie to just say things they think you want to hear, and so forth.
IOW, you never talk to someone in good faith, knowing they are not talking in good faith. He really had old Snarlin Arlin sputtering.
There may be a transcript somewhere and I'll look for it.
According to their website a transcript will be available later but they do not say how much later. Looks like they publish each week's transcript and have several available for past shows.
I'm going to keep track of this and will ping you when it's available. Should be a good read.
CNN Late Edition posts their transcript, usually by late Sunday or early Monday. They've also started putting up a video podcast of the show (link on the main show web page).
Thanks for the summary. I'll look for the transcript/podcast when they're posted.
