First up, the first democratic debates of 2020 are history now, and the race is now facing a shakeup. Powered by a dominant performance, senator Kamala Harris may have upended the democratic field last night. In the most searing moment of the night, harris put the current democratic frontrunner, former Vice President joe biden on the defensive using her prosecutorial skills to cut through joe bidens defense of working with southern segregationist senators back in the 70s.

Im into dons time. I dont want to do that. His show is important, too. It starts right now. Well, a couple of things i have to say before i let you go. Regardless of what, you know, the other side says or even our own side says about nancy pelosi, she if she believes in it, shes going to stand up for it, right . So today she said i got to do this and i have to compromise. The progressive wing of her party is not happy about it. And there are many times when conservatives arent happy with her either. Ie obamacare. If it wasnt for nancy pelosi, there would be no obamacare. But youre right, maybe this is a step in the right direction. Maybe now there will start to be some compromise. Listen, i dont know. Dont shoot the messenger. Maybe nancy pelosi is saying when it comes down to kids and photographs like that and what happened to that family, lets try to start here and see what the administration and what republicans do.
