About who will be moderating. But the decision is delayed until after labor day. What is going on behind the scenes . And the Clinton Foundation again under fire for helping donors get access to hillarys state department. And now we wont see her complete schedule until after election day. Plus, the real art of donalds dealings. A new trump biography drills down on his character and his Business Record. And the latest campus controversy as the university of chicago draws a line in the sand about safe spaces and trigger warnings. Did it go too far . But first, the most important events between now and election day. The debates and yet with just a month until the first president ial showdown between Hillary Clinton and donald trump, maybe gary johnson and joe stein if they get to 50 in the polls, there remains a great mystery. Who will moderate . In 2012 the moderators for the president ial and Vice President ial debates were announced on august 13. Were two weeks passed that date. Cnn is reporting we wont learn until after labor day. For sure on the commission of president ial debates. Theyve got a tall order on their hands, selecting someone perceived to be free of bias. And keep this in mind, the candidates do not have a veto over whomever is chosen. Its a tough and important job and one that will be scrutinized bipartisans on both sides. Anybody who doesnt think a moderator makes a difference must not remember cnns bernard shaw asking candidate michael e dekakis what he would do if Kitty Dukakis were raped and murdered. If Kitty Dukakis were raped and murdered, would you want the Death Penalty . Joining me is cnn senior med ya correspondent, the host of the show reliable sources, brian steltzer. Brian, what is going on in this story . Reporter behind the scenes there are informal conversations happening. And this year it is especially tricky because of the donald trump factor. Obviously a moderator like megyn killy would be a nonstarter for donald trump. So the commission is having a very hard time getting to a place where they can actually confirm the four moderators. I think after labor day well hear the names. There are a number of journalists who are acceptable to both sides. But its awfully tricky this year because of trump. Frank, what is the Job Description . Well, this year the Job Description is to be both a journalist, moderator and a circus navigator, i think. The job involves doing many things, which is why this is so difficult. You have to ask good questions, listen fast and hard, you have to know what youre talking about to refer to information. We hope theres actually going to be substance in these debates. A good moderator gets the candidates to engage with one another, it is not just sort of parallel news conferences or soundbites generated. This year the moderator has to be a reality show host. They have to know that 60 million, 70 million around the world are watching this thing, maybe a billion people. So theres a great deal of pressure and a great deal of realtime thinking that goes into this job. Not very many can do it. Very few can, really. Brian, can we drill down on the personalities. Do you think by definition, some of the more partisan types, you made reference to megyn kelly, are out as a matter of course because that would eliminate a number of individuals at fox news and a number of individuals over at minneapolis. I think of the fox team of megyn kelly, bret beiar and Chris Wallace are out. Lets think about somebody not in the running. George stephanopoulos, because of his long ties to the clintons back in the 90s, even though hes been a journalist for many years, hes out. Hes not an option. There are many people at abc and cnn and other networks that are options. Look at Anderson Cooper having trump and clinton backtoback on consecutive nights. Lester holt at nbc. Theres a number of journalists who i believe both candidates or all the candidates would find acceptable, fair and tough on that stage. So with regard to msnbc, you cant see Rachel Maddow, right . Thats the big question. That would be my dream. I would love to see mad dow and amy goodman and bill oreilly and megyn kelly on the same stage challenging the candidates from all sides. But no, i dont think that is going to happen because the commission really prizes journalistic neutrality. Do i get to disagree with my the Supreme Court of the United States in so far as to be on the Supreme Court of the United States, one need not be a lawyer. Must someone necessarily come from the media realm to be a moderator of a president ial debate . No, they dont. Now its getting interesting. No, they dont. And they shouldnt only be looking at journalists and i know they are not. And in just a brief moment im going to disagree with my good friend Brian Stelter on this. There is so much that youre dealing with out there. Youve got cameras, youve got clocks, youve got people talking to you in your ears, two president ial candidate who is are loud and maybe angry and maybe engaging one another. Juggling all of that is hard to do if this is the first time youre stepping in front of a camera or a crowd like this. I can g a great professor and talk to 250 people in a lecture hall and be a president ial historian. Can i manage that kind of realtime juggling . Maybe the answer is yes. Brian, the one thing i would say about Rachel Maddow and the others, that would be a dream scenario in one way, but the other thing very important and the commission should be thinking about, and the public should, the moderators should not be such overarching characters themselves to overshadow the candidates. They should be there to ask the questions, get the candidates to engage and step back to let it happen. So maybe, god forbid, the public actually sees an engagement of the two candidates and gets a little bit of light with all of the heat that we have been seeing so far. I mostly even if the moderators try not to be players on stage, they are players because it is all about the performance, having to be able to manage the Television Stage being set up. In some ways these debates are so artificial. So you need the moderator and television expertise, decades of it in order to know how to manage it. That makes sense. It does. And this year it will be more so as he brings showmanship to it. When do you step in and interrupt . When do you stop . When is that appropriate . When is it disrespectful . Thats a juggle, thats hard. This year they have to be more assertive. They should not get in the way, but well need the realtime factchecking if candidates say the things they have been saying son stage and at twitter and rallies. Frank, i asked you for someone with experience because this is no easy task. It would seem by definition that would preclude a number of millenials. I know online theres a lot of chatter among voter who is say, hey, i hope it is someone representative of our generation. But frank, to your point, if it is, it will be a first goaround for somebody. Yeah, and that is tough. Again, you know, it is very intimidated. I have interviewed president s of the United States with lots of years of experience. It doesnt mean when you walk in the room that is that is a scary thing a little bit. From this book im working on, i interviewed Bob Schaeffer before the debates. Heres a guy with years and years in front of a camera interviewing president s and senators and doing a weekly talk show. So you feel the burden there. I think the point you mentioned, though, is very important about millennials and others, one thing the commission absolutely needs to do is make sure there is diversity among the moderators. It cant be a bunch of old white guys, sorry to the white guys, thats not the country or where the debate is going or coming from. I did ask jorge ramos sorry, i mentioned jorge ramos and he said he probably knows hes not in contention because of the battles with donald trump, but he wants the see a hispanic anchorman on the stage. Brian stelter, before you leave me, give me a name, someone on the stage in one of the debates. Well, i think diversity is crucial. They are going to look for someone as lester holt or martha r raddick. Anderson cooper could be in the mix. But the commission doesnt know yet. Those are exactly the names i would give you. Oh, really . Yep, those are very likely names and those are almost certainly the finalists among those that the commission is considering. All right. Im throwing wolf into the list. Thank you, gentlemen. Frank and brian, be sure to watch reliable sources tomorrow morning at 11 00 a. M. What are your thoughts . Tweet me smerconish. Ill read them later in the program.

P. Published the first systemic effort to calculate the scope of intersecting interests of the Clinton Foundation donors and people who met with or spoke to secretary clinton about their needs. The a. P. Concluded that more than half, at least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met with clinton, were donors who contributed as much as 185 Million Dollars to the foundation. The a. P. Story called this an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president. And that sure sounded nefarious. But the Clinton Campaign cried foul when they said the report was a distortion noting that the a. P. Did not include in its calculations foreign diplomats or u. S. Government officials. Had they been included, the report would not have been that more than half of her interactions were with donors but that a tiny fraction fit the description. And now we hear, we wont be getting hillarys full schedule until after election day. So what, if anything, did we just learn . Joining me now, democratic strategist julian epstein, democratic chief council of the House Committee during bill clintons impeachment hearings and a close associate and Legal Advisor to the clinton, and peter schweitzer, hes the author of clinton cash. Peter, let me start with you. What is the significance in your eyes to this weeks revelations . Well, i think the a. P. s story is hugely important. And i find the clinton defense quite bizarre. The question is not who she meets with when the german chancellor requests a meeting. Thats part of her duty. The question is who does she choose to give access to, who does she choose to allow to have access to her ear . And its pretty clear based on the a. P. Evidence. When she has choices, shes choosing a high proportion of Clinton Foundation donors. The emails that have come out also reveal that we have now gone from the point where we had a strange pattern of behavior where people were donating money to the clintons and seemed to get favorable action. We now have emails that show the Clinton Foundation as the conduit. If youre a crown prince or a billionaire in nigeria and want access to the highest levels of the state department, you dont need to go through or can go through official channels, you simply go through the Clinton Foundation. That is hugely troubling because it shows that money provides access. And i think further evidence is going to show that it equated with favors. If the Associated Press did this type of analysis, this type of drilldown on any of the 435 members of congress or 100 members of the u. S. Senate, would we not find the exact same thing . Well, i think we would. I think money in politics is the troubling issue. But heres the huge massive difference, federal law prevents a crown prince or a nigerian billionaire from donating to a Political Campaign or a super pac. The Clinton Foundation provides access for foreign entities, foreign interests, corporations, governments and oligarchs. So its no longer money pay to play involving a americans, involving wall street or Oil Companies or big labor, were now talking about foreign interests influencing our national politics. And precisely the reason that we have financial reskrixs on foreign access to campaign donations. The Clinton Foundation is a way around that. And that is so troubling. The people now have the fear of our sorry. But that is only if theres a quid pro quo. And i dont think you can establish by virtue of what the a. P. Revealed any such finding . No, but the a. P. Is just one part of the larger pattern. Look, it is very, very clear. If you look at the former governor down in alabama, seagleman, if you look at senator menendez, there are people in jail or being prosecuted on far less evidence. This notion that circumstantial evidence doesnt apply, its not relevant. That is ridiculous. So i think the a. P. Story is part of the larger pattern that exists. And that is why this demands an independent council to investigate the matters. Someone appointed by president obama who could assess these issues and evaluate them fully and take them out of the political realm. A final question for you and one ive asked you on numerous occasions. Is there a smoking gun here . And if so, what is it . I think the smoking gun is here. You see the flow of money, you see favors done and you now see the communication taking place. I think if you put this in front of a jury as is done in political cases elsewhere, i this think the clintons would face jeopardy. Im not calling for a trial, but im saying there should be an independent council to evaluate the things to put people under subpoena. Peter schweizer, thank you. Lets get the flip side, julian epstein, part of the council during bill clintons impeachment. And an advisor to Hillary Clinton. If we add in her meetings with foreign dignitaries and government officials, and if, in fact, the number of meetings is a universe of 1700, the fact remains that 85 people who were big donors to the Clinton Foundation had their access to her facilitated by virtue of that relationship. Isnt that in and of itself is a problem . I dont think any of the facts show that, michael. I think that there in all of the a. P. Reporting there is no suggestion whatsoever that any of the meetings that secretary clinton had with private interests, whether donors or not donors, were somehow inappropriate. And i think your previous guest mr. Schweizer is clearly interested in selling a lot of books. But like a lot of critics of Hillary Clinton his arguments are halfbaked and hes unable to back them up with serious legal analysis whatsoever. He calls for an independent council, says ethics violations, you know in all your discussion with him he was unable to cite a single example in which any particular favor was provided and exchanged for a donation to the Clinton Foundation. He was unable to provide any legal analysis. The fact of the matter is the a. P. Reporting, regardless of what the data show, and the data and the a. P. Story is very incomplete. The amount of contributors that she met with, the Clinton Foundation contributed with, were probably less than 5 of the overall meetings. But regardless of the stats as you say, the 85 or so Clinton Foundation contributors that she did meet with, theres no suggestion whatsoever that any of those meetings were in any way inappropriate, that any special favors were given. She was meeting with people like the Melinda Gates and her foundation, people that were doing, trying to find economic capital for underprivileged areas around the world. Just no suggestion whatsoever there was any wrongdoing. And mr. Schweizer comes on to make a lot of reckless allegations to sell books. But his legal analyzing is very immature like the email controversy. Critics like mr. Schweizer made months and years saying Hillary Clinton violated criminal laws and you have the head of the republican the republican head of the fbi, mr. Comey, who came out to say there was no basis to say she violated criminal laws in the use of emails. Theres no there there. So many of these are in the eye of the beholder. I dont want to lose cnn viewers in the weeds, but muhammad eunice, to the hillary supporters, here is a 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner, of course our secretary of state would meet with such an individual, but you delve a little deeper and find out hes a bangladeshi businessman being scrutinized by their government at a time when hes getting access to our secretary of state. And you say, geez, i wonder if thats connected . He writes a big check or has a big check written to the Clinton Foundation. When hes jammed up in banglade bangladesh, hes got the ear of our secretary of state. That sounds on the surface that its deserving of more scrutiny. Perhaps more deserving of scrutiny, hes a Nobel Prize Winner attempting to get financing into and hugely important work in terms of finding microfinancing into underindividualed areas in bangladesh and elsewhere. The fact that he wouldnt have legitimate business to discuss with the state department on its face is just wrong. Can somebody, can a skeptic come out to say, well, there was there may be some reason to explore this further . Sure. They could make the point that you made. But let me just say that between the email conversation and the schedule controversy, the amount of attention given to her emails is unprecedent. Compare this to donald trump, he wont release his tax returns or personal information. Why is that relevant . Well, because according to numerous reports, hes gone from 300 million in debt, donald trump that is, to 650 million in debt. Much of which is controlled, the debt, that is, controlled by interests sympathetic to the russians. And direct russia as well. Im getting to that in my next segment. Fair enough. Let me just say because we are short on time, sometimes i believe shes her own worst enemy. Why should the public not have before the election access to her calendar as she was secretary of state . I dont think shes well served by recent events where the government says we cant turn it around quickly enough. That entire brooklyn operation right now aught to be pitching in, going through a page at a time and putting it out for public inspection. You get the final quick word. Well, thats a fair question, michael, but its not the brooklyn operations decision. This is a decision by the state department and a negotiation with the judge and a negotiation with a. P. The judge has ordered 600 pages per month to be released. The state department has been doing that and the question is whether the judge will speed up the schedule and the judge wants to speed up the schedule and it may. The bottom line again is that the viewers must understand, nobody, nobody, nobody has made a persuasive case whatsoever that any of Hillary Clintons meetings, whether they were with public or private officials were in any way appropriate, did any wrongdoing occur, any quid pro quo occur, anything close to an ethical violation. Thank you for that. The critics are so far away from serious analysis its not funny. Ive got to move. Up ahead, thank you, julian. The reporter who literally wrote the book on donald trump after covering his business dealings for 30 years is here with amazing details of how trump operates. And a letter to the freshmen at the university of chicago from the dean of students criticizing safe spaces and trigger warnings sparks a national debate. Ible lf. He is.

This week donald trump softened his antiimmigrant stance and labeled his opponent a bigot. He still hasnt released his tax returns. We feel like we are often distracted from the fundamental question. Does Donald Trumps business background make him qualified to be president . Joining me now, david k. Johnston who has covered donald trump for 28 years. Hes the author of a book called the making of donald trump and teaches at the University College of law. And betsy mccoy, a constitutional scholar with a ph. D. From columbia, former Lieutenant Governor of the great state of new york. She was invited to be part of Donald Trumps economic advisors. I have read your book, david. In the book you say if i landed in arkansas, i would have written about hillary, but i landed in Atlantic City so i wrote about donald. And you say, i wrote this book to tell people things about his background that he wont tell them himself. Take your best shot. Well, donald got his helicopter, his personal helicopters and the ones for his casinos from a convicted felon who turned out to be a major drug trafficker. And instead of cutting ties with this guy, he kept him on, he rented him an apartment under very unusual circumstances, he wrote a letter pleading for mercy saying he was a standup guy. The guy got 18 months while the people who delivered the drugs for him got 20 years. And by the way, the case came before maryann trump barry, donalds older sister. So here we are worried about the emails and connections and we should investigate that and write about it, but theres been virtually nothing outside of my book of donalds lifelong business dealings with russian mobsters, cons, violent offenders and this bigtime cocaine trafficker. Lieutenant governor mccoy, respond, please. I know youre eager to. Yes, i would like to. Voters have a choice. On the one hand, racial demagoguery and class warfare from Hillary Clinton. Or on the other hand, real Economic Growth and higher takehome pay offered by donald trump. Right now our economy is limping along. At 1. 2 growth. And the reason, declining business investment. Three quarters of declining business investment. Donald trumps program to lower Corporate Tax rates and produce unfettered Energy Development and release the economy from the burdensome relations imposed by barack obama will mean 4 growth. And that means higher takehome pay for americans. That is the key here. Hillary clinton is telling americans that shes going to force corporations and is wagging her finger, force corporations to pay their fair share. What shes not telling them is that corporations in this country already pay the highest tax rates in the world even after all the loopholes and deductions. And her program to force corporations to pay more and to slap them with an exit tax when they leave this country will mean even lower growth, no growth at all. More people laid off. And lower wages. Americans cant afford that. They need more money in their pockets. Let me put this let me put this question to david, because david, shes responding with substance and substance is a good thing. But your book talks about donald trump the man, donald trump the businessman. And you raise questions about the way in which hes run his own business that you say are reflective of the type of leader he would be. Did i get it right according to your book . Thats exactly correct. And donalds Business Record is very clear. There are profitable casinos today in Atlantic City. Donalds were among the first to fold because they were badly managed. I wrote about it in my book now, the making of donald trump and my 1992 book of temples of chance. Testifi he was a terrible manager. Fortune 500 declared several of his companies when he was in charge at dead last or almost last in every category Fortune Magazine tested. He cheated illegal immigrant workers out of 4 an hour pay. And a federal judge found that he engaged in a conspiracy to cheat these workers out of their pay. Donald says wages are too high which totally undercuts betsys argument. And betsy seems to be unaware of the fact that i have shown and nobody disputed who is a tax expert that Many American corporations literally turn a profit off the income tax. When i first reported that congress did an 1800page study to show everything i had written was exactly correct and it was worse than i said. Let me ask her to respond. Lieutenant governor, you wish to respond. I would like to respond. Americans have a chance to look at much more about Hillary Clinton and donald trump than what has been revealed so far here. Both of these candidates have submitted Financial Disclosure forms. Donald trumps 104 pages long for listing 185 profitproducing ventures, golf courses, commercial buildings, residential buildings, and huge Management Fees paid to him by owners of other properties who want him to manage them because he does such a good job. Now, compare that with Hillary Clintons little 11page Financial Disclosure form. Its all speaking fees and royalties governor, wait a minute. Hold on, come on, timeout. No, no, no timeout. Heres what im saying. We have seen all of the clinton governor, come on. Youre giving me sound bites. I must jump into this. Hold it. We have seen all of the clintons tax returns, decades of the clinton tax returns. Are you not troubled by the idea of lending maam, let me finish and ill give you the final word. Are you not troubled by the prospect of laying whatever credibility you have on the line for a candidate whose tax returns you and the public have not seen . Well, first of all, tax shaming is the democratic way of suggesting that somebody who doesnt pay the highest rate is morally deficient. As long as donald trump is following the law answer my question. Which he is, right . Michael, can i jump in here . I answered your question. Answer my question, governor. Then david, youlg gll get a wo. Answer my question, are you not troubled that you have not seen the mans tax returns . No. Im far more troubled that i havent seen what Hillary Clinton told her private audiences to earn speaking fees. I want to see that, too that not an answer we should see everything Everybody Knows what could she have possibly said to people to get half a Million Dollars per hour. Thank you, im getting nowhere. Thank you, both. Thank you, both. Let me say something, we aught to see everything she said to Goldman Sachs and we aught to see all of his tax returns. Thats the right answer. More campus correctness in the news. A deans letter to students at the university of sorry about that, but every once in a while im entitled to my own opinion, too, right . Where was i . Oh, yeah, the university of chicago. A deans letter criticizing safe spaces and trigger warnings and protests against controversial speakers has itself proved to be controversial. Ill talk to the professor who chaired the committee on whose work. That letter was based. You were once pretty bad at. Its the same for credit. Even if youre not good at it now, thats okay. Because credit isnt just a score. Its a skill. Experian. Be better at credit. Be the you who doesnt cover your moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Be the you who shows up in that dress.

Tomorrow, tomorrow i love ya, tomorrow. Ask your heart doctor about entresto. And help make tomorrow possible. Youre only a day away it is back to college season. We just dropped off our college son for his freshman year. I felt obliged to talk to him about the political environment. Already it looks to be another year of campus controversies. To recap just a few of last years dustups, some students felt threatened by chalk graffiti supporting donald trump. At yale students lobbied against Halloween Costumes that they deemed offensive. And students tried to get newspaper columnist Kathleen Parker removed as a speaker because of her radically conservative politics. And a letter from the dean at chicago, canceling views or safe spaces that would allow students to retreat from perspectives at odds with their own. This created heated debate on and off campus. And joining me now is university of chicago law professor jeffrey stone. He chaired the Faculty Committee whose work led to the deans letter. Professor, this is big news. Front page today, page one of the New York Times. Is the message being communicated from the university of chicago the way you would like . You have the opportunity to speak for your committees work. No, to be perfectly honest, the university of chicago is deeply committed to Academic Freedom and to a robust and wide open freedom of expression. But the letter which was sent out by the dean of students in one sentence is basically, i think, been misconstrued. The letter says that the university doesnt approve of trigger warnings and thats been interpreted to mean the university forbids trigger warnings and thats not true. All it means is that the university doesnt require individual faculty members to do that, but faculty members in their own Academic Freedom are perfectly free and appropriate to warn be students in advance if theres material they think individual students would find particularly sensitive. And similarly on the language about safe spaces, what the dean of students meant to say is that the university of chicago itself is not a safe space. It is a place where people are expected to confront difficult challenging ideas. Not to say that students could not get together themselves and form organizations where they speak with other students with similar backgrounds and experiences, thats not what the universitys policy is. So the problem here is largely when it is misinterpretation. So quickly, we suit up in this country in our usual jerseys, liberal and conservative, you know that this gets put into the confines of that kind of a debate. Is it a liberal versus conservative issue . Well, it poses the kind of interesting division. Traditionally in the United States, it has been political conservatives who have been advocates for restricting free speech on campus, whether that be opposing darwinism or criticizing wealthy donors and benefactors or during world war i and the mccarthy era, the vietnam era, calling on suppression of various kinds of speech. And traditionally it has been liberals advocates of free speech. In this situation its a bit more complicated. Conservatives have taken on the mantle of defending free speech and liberals, traditional liberals are kind of divided. Some liberals like myself believe strongly in free speech. And are committed to the principle that even with respect to ideas that people find offensive, universities have to guarantee the freedom to advocate those ideas and to encourage students to address those ideas and to combat them intellectually. Other liberals have taken the view that, well, certain types of speech seen as demeaning and humiliating to religious groups, women, gays, lesbians, immigrants and so on, should be students should not be subjected to that. And those have come out of liberal traditions. So you have seen division among liberals on this question and most conservatives are aligned with the free speech liberals in this context. You know that youre earning cheers, the university of chicago is earning cheers from some corners where people say at last someone stood up to coddled millenials. If that is their interpretation, professor stone would say what . Well, i would say there are lots of one of the questions is why over the last several years we have seen a demand across the university across the nation at colleges and universities for restrictions on speech, that previously were not subject to any restrictions. And its coming from students. And what is interesting about that is throughout american history, theres been no real serious movements in which students have been the moving force in an effort to create censorship on campuses. So this is unique in that sense. And the interesting question is why. And the truth is there are lots of different possible explanations. One of them that you just mentioned is the notion that some members of this generation were raised by parents who were socalled helicopter parents who shielded them and prevented them from con hatroversycontroversy. And a more positive view of it is this generation of students is seen in a positive way of injustice and determined to take a stance on actions to speech that are unfair to and damaging to various minority groups in the community. So there are different theories about what is going on here. Professor stone, we dropped ours off this past wednesday, im hoping hell have a robust discussion and debate on a whole variety of different issues. Thats what were looking for in his education. And i like what i hear from the university of chicago for what its worth. Thank you, sir, for being here. Up next, political discourse on social media has gotten ugly and divisive. Some liken it to a shark frenzy and npr decided not to have comments on its website anymore. My thoughts on that and some of your tweets, which are hopefully not ugly or divisive, like this one.

Hebrew national this election cycle has turned a lot of social media into antisocial media. Peoples facebook feeds are increasingly fractious reflecting our polarized National Political dialogue. A piece in tomorrows New York Times magazine about facebooks Political Pages quotes page operators likening comments to torch wielding mobs and sharks in a feeding frenzy. Thats a part of why npr recently discontinued comments on any of its news stories at npr. Org. The other reason . Npr discovered what i have expected about such forums. Only a tiny percentage of their users were doing most of the posting. 06 of their 33 million viewers. I applaud npr. Its been years since i read any of the comments on my own sunday column in the philadelphia inquirer. I found them to be angry, uncivil and unresponsive to the merits and not worthy of the response something when commenters hide behind pseudonms. The internet has made our life easier, the use of technology is not without drawbacks. The beer muscles some grow when given the opportunity to express themselves anonymously. Like the drunk that has an inflated measure of himself. They would say things if their faces were known. Our political dialogue is course. Nasty anonymous comments are a significant part of a much bigger problem. Its one aspect we can easily control. Just like npr just did. Having said that, what tweets have just come in on this program . Smerconish, you should wear a referee jersey instead of a suit. My goodness. I have felt that way this entire election season. Youre right. Hit me with another one. That was civil. That was nice. That was okay. We dont have it . What happened if i say this, keep your tweets comin coming smerconish.
