president doesn t have clout. but results matter. people are responding to the results and not the negative narrative. i think that point its out. and all. talk of midterm elections and what traditionally it has been. throw all of that out of the window. i don t believe these midterms will be judged by the trends from the midterms of the past. katie: but if you look at the primary playing out. he didn t go after the republican on the race. he kept his eye on the prize is senator bob kasey. and the republicans are banking on taking back the blue states in red states that trump won. leslie: i think it will be an offset. i honestly am a pessimist and my fellow libs get mad at me. the fat lady is not near the
pennsylvania and nebraska last night. we ll discuss the impact of last night s result and what they could tell us about the midterm. bob kasey. thank you very much. [applause]
president just retweeted images, jerry said he found it on social media. he immediately started taking flack for an anti-semitic comment he made about jewish drivers. a journalist for the atlantic tweeted it was pretty generous for trump to compare obama to the sun. so he s the smaller thing that temporarily blocks the much bigger and brighter thing. please, my god, teach this man how analogies work. tweeted a host at the daily beast. okay, it doesn t quite match the actual eclipse oh, my gosh! it s really exciting. reporter: that s what democratic senator bob kasey said about trump eclipsing obama. it s like third grade. reporter: when it comes to reenacting eclipses, stick with pugs over politics. don t stare straight at 24e78. you ll be blinded. by cuteness.
no real sense that syria will attack israel, but israel s taking all precautions. our man on the ground in tel aviv, martin fletcher. as always, thank you, sir. pennsylvania democratic senator bob kasey on the foreign relations committee. what do you know about the events of the past 24 hours in syria? are you being briefed at this point? and if you are being briefed, by whom? hey, craig, most of the information i have is what most americans have, which is the news reports. but if the reports are correct, that israel has, in fact, taken action here, i support, i think a lot of americans would support their right to protect both their sovereignty. but also their interests by ensuring that either chemical weapons or conventional weapons don t end up in the hands of hezbollah or other extremist forces. and what we have to make sure we do, as well, is to protect our own interest in that region. the any transfer of those
0 weapons destroyed too. israel attacked because they could not bear the thought of those weapons being transferred to its enemies in lebanon then potentially in the future being used against israel. so israel decided not to wait for the weapons to be transferred to lebanon but to strike before they left syria. how real are the chances at this point that syria will in some way, shape or form retalia retaliate? well, there s the nerves are on edge here as you can imagine. the syrian deputy foreign minister declared israel s action what he called it an act of war. so israel on edge, they ve transferred two sets of their iron dome, antimissile rocket system to the north of israel, one in the city, one set up in the city in the north. in case of any rocket attacks from syria or, indeed from lebanon. although they re taking all precautions necessary, there s no real sense that syria will attack israel, but israel s taking all precautions. our man on the ground in tel aviv, martin fl
