We can or cant. The touch. Lets please help students to make sure that their. Lets please help students to make sure that they have costume is not offensive to any racial athlete farley just heard any people would deserve your costume is not offensive to anybody shell after new orleans just heard any people with disabilities or illnesses or any other group of people. Or illnesses or any other group of people. You dont want to say im going to wear these to purposely mock you or more. You dont want to say im going to wear these to purposely mock you or more quote your coaches stance for which i think theres a difference between about the timing of students firing at some point your coachs stance for which i think theres a difference between about the timing of students wearing a sombrero with a moustache is somehow racist. Where i would a mustache is somehow race its. Such. So a little earlier on. And so a little earlier on i put the issue of offensive costumes up for debate why i think that you have and i put the issue of offensive costumes at the debate. Well i think that you have to be sensitive to the actual group that people are dressing up as rather than to be sensitive to the actual group the people are dressing up as rather than listening to ourselves we should listen to the group thats being dressed up listening to ourselves we should listen to the group thats being dressed up and i think that thats important thing and we have to stop being so sensitive i mean ive been told before that mimi i think that thats the important thing is we have to stop being so sensitive i mean ive been told before that me may or wearing a make America Great again had is offensive so where do we draw the line i think thats where we have a very clear problem kids universities professors wearing a make America Great again had is offensive so where do we draw the line i think thats where we have a very clear problem kids universities professors they dont have to be tone deaf and they can actually listen to the actual group and listen from them if they dont have to be tone deaf and they can actually listen to the actual group and listen from them actually whats offensive or not offensive and i think thats the right way to approach these you know if somebody isnt actually whats offensive or not offensive and i think thats the right way to approach these you know if somebody is offended i think you should have to need to try to be sensitive and not offend people but i dont know how this offended i think you should have to need to try to be sensitive and not offend people but i dont know how this is so far on these College Campuses as they were going to all peaceful out on our han these College Campuses that now were going to call people out on how wayne talk about ruining the holiday so i can go in to talk about ruining a holiday so i think that you can go too far in terms of something thats offensive and divisive even for in terms of something thats offensive and divisive even for a comedian so i think you just got to thread the needle and you got to be respectful what scares me a for a comedian so i think you just got to thread the needle and you got to be respectful what scare. Me about this topic is i feel like when we just say how we are and we have College Students talking about whats offensive we really dont even know where the guidelines are anymore about this topic as i feel like when we just say how we are and we have College Students talking about whats offensive we really dont even know where the guidelines are anymore because were living in this p. C. Culture that sometimes really doesnt make a lot of sense because were living in this p. C. Culture that sometimes really doesnt make a lot of sense so lets talk specifically halloween so it was a person wants to dress up as Freddy Krueger no problem. If it was a person wants to dress up as Freddy Krueger no problem they stick on you know the appropriate attire what if they want to be someone like stick on you know the appropriate attire what if they want to be someone like. I think is tony told was the. You know a black man if you want to think is tony told was the who was you know a black man if you want to just play a famous black you know horror character how would this play a famous black you know horror character how on earth would people in the sunday war without the visual clue i would probably just stay away those who people in the sunday war without the visual clue i would probably just stay away from it because you have to quote yourself the question is the squeeze worth the juice. From it because you have to quote yourself the question is the squeeze worth the juice but for example say i wanted to play Michael Jackson would i be in trouble for and how do i say i wanted to play Michael Jackson would i be in trouble for and how do i dress up in that kind of costume you know i wish we could just embrace people for who they are and dress up in that kind of costume you know i wish we could just embrace people for who they are and that we could not have the Racial Division that we have in this country and ive been told before that its been that we could not have the Racial Division that we have in this country and ive been told before. But its really easy for me to say that sitting back is a cajun woman in america really easy for me to say that sitting back as a cajun woman in america but you know for me i think the more emphasis we place on race and the more we buy it you know for me i think the more emphasis we place on race and the more we talk about the division the harder it is to come together and i look forward to a day and talk about the division the harder it is to come together and i look forward to a day in america where we can embrace everybody for who they are and hopefully be able to kind of take america where we can embrace everybody for who they are and hopefully be able to kind of take race out of the equation and hopefully we can find a way around it because race out of the equation and hopefully we can find a way around it because now that were censoring hollowing caution is it doesnt look like its getting much better now that were censoring hollowing caution is it doesnt look like its getting much better. The race to become the u. S. Democratic president ial candidate is. The race to become the u. S. Democratic president ial candidate is far from being an issue but the gap between the front runners thats now ruling in many to still make up the phone from being a sure bet to go between the front runners thats now rolling in many votes to stu. The primary decides a lot of the vote your conscience would never in our minds. Primary decides a lot after all your conscience would never enter a minute even consider straight you theres a lot of confusion with the democrats theyre all try mind even consider straight to theres a lot of confusion with the democrats theyre all trying to one up each other for more than 3 years the democrats have been chomping at running to one up each other for more than 3 years the democrats have been chomping at the bit for a president ial election what they want is to put the unraveling and him at the bit for a president ial election what they want is to put the unraveling and embarrassment of 2016 behind them and take another whack at beating the donald where assessment of 2016 behind them and take another whack at beating the donald more than a year away from the vote democrats are beating the drum of party unity and standing together than a year away from the vote democrats are beating the drum of party unity and standing together against donald trump one thing all of the democrats could agree on the issue of impeachment against donald trump one thing all of the democrats could agree on the issue of impeachment is reviewing a united front against president the next leader is going to have to be one were doing a united front against president the next leader is going to have to be one among those democrats that can unite us all we must elect democrats that can unite us all we must elect a democratic president of the year 9 and. Now a democratic president of the year 9 and. Now you would think that defeating a president portrayed on t. V. As the orange menace you would think that defeating a president to trade on t. V. As the orange menace wouldnt be so difficult but reality does not always match expectations wouldnt be so difficult but reality does not always match expectations now the 1st president ial primary is the famous Iowa Caucuses now before the debate 1st president ial primary. Is the famous Iowa Caucuses now before the debates over the summer 21 percent of iowas voters were undecided but now thats over the summer 21 percent of iowas voters were undecided but now that number has gone up to 29 percent bad trend but why well perhaps the number of number has gone up to 29 percent bad trend but why well perhaps the number of candidates in the race has got them on the fence and the race does just keep getting larger candidates in the race has got them on the fence and the race does just keep getting larger at this point youve got billionaire tom styer who just threw his hat into the ring with 3 months out at this point youve got billionaire tom styer who just threw his hat into the ring with 3 months out from iowa and we thought that there would be a loss of indecision but hes definitely harder than we would have expected from iowa and we thought that there would be a loss of indecision but hes definitely harder than we would have expected no question i see something that has to be true if im going to win and it is true to my question i see something that has to be true if im going to win and it is true now the Democratic Leaders realize that the debacle of 2016 through a lot of voters how the Democratic Leaders realize that the debacle of 2016 through a lot of voters either to tromp or to just stay home on election day so theyre prepping the u. S. Public mass either to tromp or to just stay home on election day so theyre prepping the u. S.

Current administration nothing more i havent seen anything more i think their message is pretty clear and they win with that maybe maybe i think their message is pretty clear and they win with that maybe maybe its i think its possible now compare those answers here in the Democratic Party stronghold of new york so i think its possible now compare those answers here in the Democratic Party stronghold of new york to the answers from pennsylvania a swing state that was pretty decisive in winning the walk to the answers from pennsylvania a swing state that was pretty decisive in winning the white house for trump i definitely feel you should vote for the person like im a white house for trump i definitely feel you should vote for the person like im not im not in touch any parties would never enter our mind even consider straight to it im not in touch any parties would never in our mind even consider voting straight to you it is the individual that matters ive never really been the type of person that says he is the individual that matters ive never really been the type of person that says you know vote Straight Party lines because you dont know what youre getting them because theres a lot of confusion with that you know vote Straight Party lines because you dont know what youre getting them because theres a lot of confusion with the democrats theyre all trying to one up each other theyre elian ating a large percent there are all true. Going to one up each other there is a dating award percent i think of the group they used to vote for that the Democratic Partys message and i think of the group they used to vote for that the Democratic Partys message is like. Its too much like divisive and theyre not really united as like. Its too much like divisive and theyre not really thank you 19 together to make one strong candidate that theres such a big push to just get donald trump i mean together to make one strong candidate that theres such a big push to just get donald trump out of office and if no one can form a Strong Enough opinion to vote for one person out of office and if no one can form a Strong Enough opinion to vote for one person it will kind of end up like last election journalist dan was there says that some tiresome it will kind of end up like last election journalist dan was there says that sometimes democrats can be their own worst enemy is there a potential divide in them as democrats can be their own worst enemy is there a potential divide in the Democratic Party that could hurt them in november oh sure the risk that the Democratic Party is its too good Democratic Party that could hurt them in november oh sure the risk that the Democratic Party is its too big its so big its not stable it has or has a centrist wing went by Hillary Clinton gets it so big its a stable it has or has a centrist wing web by Hillary Clinton essentially and it has a left wing a quasi socialist clinton essentially and it has a left wing a quasi socialist wing by Bernie Sanders and theres an immense gulf between those 2 camps wing by Bernie Sanders and theres an immense gulf between those 2 camps and the party really cant accommodate both those wings. And the party really cant accommodate both those wings so if theres a house divided against itself jabbered is essentially the only one out there and speaking out forcefully. Against the Hillary Clinton aggressive so it is a house divided against itself jabbered is essentially only one out there and speaking out forcefully against the Hillary Clinton aggressive Foreign Policy of regime change and wars of aggression now Foreign Policy of regime change and wars of aggression now the Democratic National committee is now saying that theyre going to use the slogan vote blue no matter who the Democratic National committee is now saying that theyre going to use the slogan vote blue no matter who is that strategic for them is that going to help them. I suppose it will help them is that strategic for them is that going to help them. I suppose it will help them too or because we have to grow i dont know but i thought i think we were if you will if the if its the ross the wrong can carry it over a lot of you a lot of you will wind up slight of staying home now if you watch the coverage of the 2016 election the media almost obscured the fact that now if you watch the coverage of the 2016 election the media almost obscured the fact that it was a 2 way race they made it almost a referendum on Donald Trumps latest outrage it was a 2 way race they made it almost a referendum on Donald Trumps latest outrageous comments now at this point many people are asking if the democrats would be better just comments now at this point many people are asking if the democrats would be better off giving voters something to vote for rather than just someone to vote against will have her off giving voters something to vote for rather than just someone to vote against well have to see what happens over the course of the next 12 months they look up and r. T. To see what happens over the course of the next 12 months they looked up and r. T. New york. The new york. The u. S. Lower house voted in favor of formally proceeding with the impeachment inquiry of President Trump was voted in favor of. Many proceeding with the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is expected to meet the process from closed door hearings to open lungs and he was opposed by all the republicans to meet the process from closed door hearings to open lungs and he was opposed by all the republicans in the house despite that criticism of the democrats keeping those inquiry hearings shut ins in the house despite that criticism of the democrats keeping that those inquiry hearings shut to the point shameful to create a constitutional crisis and to the point shameful to create a constitutional crisis for purely partisan reasons this is soviet style rules but also for purely partisan reasons this is soviet style rules when only one person has the right to call witnesses and as we saw just the other dimly one person has the right to call witnesses and as we saw just the other day the chairman was literally directing the witness to not an essay the chairman was literally directing the witness to not answer certain questions by the republicans what kind of fairness or certain questions by the republicans what kind of fairness is that is like a cult these are a group of people lawyers is that is like a cult these are a group of people loyally following their leader as he bounces from one outlandish Conspiracy Theory to only following their leader as he bounces from one outlandish Conspiracy Theory to another and the media are the cult followers to another and the media are the cult followers. Passed resolution implies a 2 stage process of impeachment inquiry it involves to pass a resolution implies a 2 stage process of impeachment inquiry it involves 2 house committees drafting articles against donald trump the inquiry was initiated by us how do you house committees drafting articles against donald trump the inquiry was initiated by u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that alleges that from sought help from ukrainian authorities to favor his Speaker Nancy Pelosi it alleges that some sought help from ukrainian authorities to favor him in the 2020 us president ial election term was asking the ukrainian president favor him in the 2020 us president ial election term was asking the ukrainian president favor to investigate alleged corruption claims against his main political rival democratic president ial front runner joe biden who has been the denied any wrongdoing in dealings with ukraine adding that terms investigate alleged corruption claims against his main political rival democratic president ial front runner joe biden who has been the denied any wrongdoing in dealings with ukraine adding the terms of conduct was concerning but not impeachable the white house has reacted to the vote conduct was concerning but not impeachable the white house has reacted to the vote. With todays vote Speaker Pelosi and the democrats have done nothing more than enshrouded with todays vote Speaker Pelosi and the democrats have done nothing more than enshrine unacceptable violations of due process into house rules the democrats in unacceptable violations of due process into house rules the democrats want to render a verdict without giving the administration a chance to mount a defense thats want to render a verdict without giving the administration a chance to mount a defense. The game joined now by political analyst charles of. The game joined by political analyst charles or told very good to have you on charles that so the republicans voted no but all told very good to have you on charles that so the republicans voted no but the house decision to proceed with the democratic inquiry plan that goes how does this. Decision to proceed with the democratic inquiry plan that goes ahead is this particularly worrying for the republicans particularly worrying for the republicans. I think it should worry the democrats tremendously actually what happened i believe neal is that i think it should worry the democrats tremendously actually what happened i believe neal is that the all the republicans joined with a few democrats voted to oppose the all the republicans joined with a few democrats voted to oppose this so there was bipartisan albeit a small number of democrats it was this so there was bipartisan albeit a small number of democrats against this whereas only democrats voted for this and you got against this whereas only democrats voted for this and youve got to remember that nancy pelosi has a vested interest indeed a conflict in this should the remember that nancy pelosi has a vested interest indeed a conflict in this should the impeachment process go aggressively down a path to saying well not only is trump impeachable pietschmann process go aggressively down a path to saying well not only is trump impeachable but pence is impeachable then nancy pelosi would be getting herself but pence is impeachable then nancy pelosi would be getting herself the job of president by the order of succession without having won an election and National Elections the job of president by the order of succession without having won an Election National election so this should have been an impartial process in the very beginning they are setting so this should have been an impartial process in the very beginning they are setting themselves up for an ethic failure in the senate all of these obscene themselves up for an ethics failure in the senate all of these absurd rule adjustments which are a sure stark variance from press surd rule adjustments which are a sure stark variance from the president will be thrown up in the house managers faces should this reach the student will be thrown up in the house managers faces should this reach the same. And it thats for the one thing the 2nd thing is here are the democrats eloquently in their mind senate thats for the one thing the 2nd thing is here are the democrats eloquently in their minds making a case that it is an Impeachable Offense for a president to cooperate with making a case that it is an Impeachable Offense for a president to cooperate with a foreign power to meddle in an American Election and or for personal gain why the foreign power to meddle in an American Election and or for personal gain what exactly happened in 2015 and 16 under the Obama Administration exactly happened in 2015 and 16 under the Obama Administration is it possible that the horowitz report thats going to come out imminently will reveal that perhaps said is it possible that the horowitz report thats going to come out imminently will reveal that perhaps a United Kingdom cooperated with the Obama Administration to meddle the United Kingdom cooperated with the Obama Administration to meddle in the general election battle in the primaries and certainly meddle in the results in the general election battle in the primaries and certainly meddle in the resistance afterwards is that likely to come out in a document that is long in the mist and afterwards is that likely to come out in a document that is long in the making and likely to be incredibly detailed and set out for the public to view and taking and likely to be incredibly detailed and set out for the public to view as they also consider in contrast to this quote Impeachment Committee as they also consider in contrast to this quote Impeachment Committee mr george now throughout the Top Administration the democrats its very clear george now throughout the Top Administration the democrats its very clear theyve been calling for impeachment impeachment impeachment consistently they talk 1st about you know russia theyve been calling for impeachment impeachment impeachment consistently they talk 1st about you know russia khaleesi. Another moved on say you know the relationship we does it and theres another moved on say you know the relationship we create doesnt undermine their argument the fact that they just seem willing to impeach to anything they could get some mind their argument the fact that they just seem willing to impeach for anything they could get something to stick on or does it not change the fact that if tom did wrong he did wrong thing to stick on or does it not change the fact that if tom did wrong he did wrong. Again when we go back into history the. Again when we go back into history the founders Alexander Hamilton in particular were very clear on the notion that you have a loungers Alexander Hamilton in particular were very clear on the notion that you have elections you can change a president through an election for policy difference like sions you can change a president through an election for policy differences you the last thing you want to do is use an impeachment process which is divisive this year the last thing you want to do is use an impeachment process which is divisive. To try to remove a president or other high official up to try to remove a president or other high official over a policy dispute we have an election looming about one year from now for a policy dispute we have an election looming about one year from now if the democrats have a case that another candidate is better they can win it in the election but to go if the democrats have a case that another candidate is better they can win it in the election but to go after dollar trump the way they are now going after him for crimes which i dont im not a lawyer but after dollar trump the way they are now going after him for crimes which i dont im not a lawyer but i dont see these as rising to the level of treason bribery and other quote high crime i dont see these is rising to the level of treason bribery and other quote high crimes and misdemeanors the fact that. American president might have demanded to misdemeanors the fact that. American president might have demanded of an aide. That the aide recipient reduced corruption in the country of an aide. That the aide recipient reduced corruption in the country is something that an american president should get a lot of credit for and certainly not be impeached now is something that an american president should get a lot of credit for and certainly not be impeached now tells could speak he left the wrap it there im afraid charles will tell political analyst my guest thank you.
