May have gotten some sympathy support steve so i thought the debate just touched on health care gun violence immigration even White Supremacy i mean how important is the domestic agenda and who else on the stage tonight nice of well on the big issues like immigration and gun violence. Well i think what has to happen i mean i think immigration and gun violence everyones on the same page on gun violence what theyre not on the same page is is how far they would go in taking guns away from people or paying for the you know amy amy cobra said she wanted a voluntary program for people to give up assault rifles as far as something that would be far more intrusive but i think the big thing that continues to resonate deeply and it is a divide a deep divide among the candidates is what is going to be the character and composition of a future Health Care Plan and will that Health Care Plan be something that disrupts their health care the incumbent health care of about 180000000 americans who already have health care but but Elizabeth Warren who is you know very clearly a front runner and people waiting to see warren and biden fight this out but the divide has really been over sanders and sanders saying he right wrote the Health Care Plan for medicare for all etc and i think that is a much deeper divide oh you may want to pretend that immigration and gun violence and White Nationalism are the issues but its health care the domestic politics may be important but ill be lucky do you think to be tested on some of the big Foreign Policy issues john bolton sucking afghanistan china syria how his Foreign Policy likes to play out on the stage tonight.

High level officials remain loyal to president a number of soldiers as deserted this year in an actual war scenario what you would see is probably the colombia made for the blockading when its way along ports with ready probably great effectiveness then the question is when will be United States.

President donald trump cancel peace talks with the taliban tony berkley has more now from kabul. The suicide bomber struck in the afternoon at an Afghan Army Special forces basic risk or 25 kilometers from afghanistans capital kabul the taliban claimed responsibility for the last week there has been apprehension on the streets of kabul that the taliban would launch a violent backlash in response to President Trumps cancellation of peace talks so far a major response hasnt materialized inside the city one rocket landed close to the u.

Many civilians are still being killed as the fighting intensifies we have asked all sides to reduce the use of horse and heavily Populated Areas but they dont listen. There is some hope that peace talks will be resumed but probably not until after the forthcoming afghan president ial elections theyve always been a catalyst for attacks and violence but with a pro
