News coverage is provided. Pretty much even is a big deal and its actually a very interesting district, you have welloff Suburbs Of Columbus and you have places where i spent some time and its a former Industrial Power house thats on hard times right now, the average income there is about half of what it is in the rest of america, so, you know, its reliably republican district with a lot of people that have different concerns and, yeah, the republicans are very worried right now and his Approval Rating in this district is 46 approved, 49 disapprove and, of course, as you know, midterms are often a referendum on the president and so its a very tight race and i think republicans are very nervous because this is the last special election before the midterms and so everybody in the country is watching this race to figure out prediction of what will happen come november. Is it risky for the president to go in there, what if the republican loses, will people be eager in washington to blame t
quiet in a long time, a lot independents will say, it s one way during obama, republicans are in charge, looking pretty good, we had a government shutdown for a little bit, we came back, nobody wants the shutdown but you have to be willing to do it, i think now is the time. laura: you bring up a good point, a lot of people are also saying why not just focus on the economy for right now because it is going to well and there are numbers to back that up, of course, robin, the president, you know, worried that the democrats could he worry that the democrats would turn back on him if he does not deliver on the promise? , i i mean, continuing question that a lot of people want an answer too. there s a lot of finger pointing and i don t necessarily like that. he made so many promises on the campaign trail that méxico would pay and to us democrats he seems that he s holding the american taxpayers hostage unless we convince the american taxpayers to pay, so that s where we ve got a problem
a right wing government, could support that idea. talking to u.s. allies since then, they felt like this was just an impossible dream or some kind of idea out of left field. so was it over russia? it s possible, but i think it s remarkable that, you know, in one breath the president is saying that these relationships are fine, that they re a 10, accusing the american press of putting out fake news by even asking the question about anger and frustration. it doesn t really seem like fake news anymore. i don t know how he could possibly think that now that this has happened. something obviously went on in those meetings where it s possible that president trump felt like they had reached some understanding, at least that s what he was saying on his way out of those meetings. and then, you know, there was some element of that that prompted the canadian prime minister to then say, well, we re not going to be pushed around. you know, what they were saying what the u.s. side was
not necessarily new language. over the last couple of weeks, we ve heard that from the prime minister, we heard that from the foreign affairs minister. obviously larry kudlow speaking today saying it was the timing of those comments coming after the president had left, and they seemed to have an agreement on this g-7 communique. but the question is where would we be even with the communique signed, because there is still uncertainty about tariffs, the president talking about his concerns with dairy here in canada and almost foreshadowing, potentially, more tariffs. max, is that the issue? is it about timing on the eve of this historic summit with north korea? i suppose there is some connection, although i don t really see it. but if you listen to larry kudlow, he seemed to be suggesting that by beating up on justin trudeau, somehow donald trump is going to enhance his negotiating position with kim jong-un. i really fail to see the logic of that. and all along he was inferring it
and their push is for tougher sanctions on russia, whether they be economic, a tougher response to russia rather than welcoming it into a group of america s closest allies, like g-7. and kevin, the continuing question. why is this happening? why is the president bringing up russia? former obama national security spokesman said that trump s statement, and i m quoting now, crystallizes precisely why putin was so eager to see trump elected. for putin this is a return on his investment and it s safe to say that his investment has paid off beyond even his wildest dreams. what s your thought on that? fred, i have no problem sitting here and defending the president s actions when i think they re just. i think this one is crazy. in many ways it emboldens russia. it s not smart for the president, it feels like it implicates him. certainly russia is a big nuclear power. they re a major force in that
