i m from a red state and i left a red state to come to new york and many people who lived in new york and l.a., i lived in chicago. they think the entire world is like them and it s not. and i think the danger is it s one step further, tell me if you agree, don, we think this is the best people rise to the top and probably end up in cities and things but actually a lot of people who didn t rise to the top, maybe they were unlucky, maybe they had tough breaks, tough odds. maybe there s nothing wrong with a simple life. and maybe they made a choice. yeah. and that i think we sometimes think in a meritocracy, they re somehow living inferrer. that was the signal they re getting. i ve heard people it s subconscious. and i think people do think that and i hear it a lot here in new york. but let s be honest. some of the jobs, in the rust
author of never enough, donald trump and the pursuit of success michael deantonio and the executive editor of bloomburg view and author of trump nation the art of being the donald, timothy o brien. tony what did you think of his performance last night? just start with that sound bite of how he excused that leaked audio tape as locker room talk. well, you know, donald trump didn t rise to the level of human to me last night, as is fairly much fairly the it s the typical way that he is, meaning there are three things that i ve been saying since july about donald trump. number one, he s incredibly thin-skinned. and he was a cornered rat in this circumstance, and he attacked. because that s what happens when you feel cornered. and the problem is, that he reacts impulsively. he reacts automatically, and reflexively and it s terrifying as it has been for me all along to imagine him with the nuclear codes doing that. so i m thinking you saw that last night? i saw him attack, att
people. something didn t happen that should have happened. i don t know how you would determine if someone was willing to use deception to get into the country and not be forth coming in the fact she was radicalized or had extreme views, how you would catch that in the interview process. the data bases are good for what they re good for. that s information relayed from a foreign country that says this person is associated with terrorism. that is a data base the fbi has access to. it is clear neither one of those people rose to that level. remember, the tsarnaev brothers were investigated almost a year by the fbi and found they had strong views, but didn t rise to the level to say these folks are going to commit a terrorist act. this would mean this timing she was radicalized before coming to the united states, she could have been pregnant while she was radicalized and planning
monitoring the proceedings. reporter: good evening, bret. we re waiting for a protest that is supposed to begin in about 30 minutes. but so far the only people who have shown up is the baltimore police department awaiting the protesters. which has kind of been the story of the day. perhaps because the prosecution in the case won the first two big battles of the day. on the other hand, the defense is celebrating their own victory in that each officer will receive a separate trial. now, the judge has refused to throw out the charges against the six officers allegedly involved in freddie gray s death and said baltimore state s attorney marilyn mosby could stay on the case. she sat stone faced in court as defense attorneys accused her of misconduct in holding her may first press conference to announce the charges. the judge said her conduct was troubling but didn t rise to the level of hurting the officers right to a fair trial.
think i ll be able to do it? my response from experience is always the same. yes, you will. i ve never been in a situation when people didn t rise, no matter who they were, and no matter how bad the circumstances are because you re always fighting for each other. and john, you can see his character, not just in the way that he responded in that battle in the fog and the heat of war, but also in the way that he receives this great award with such humility and selflessness. always deflecting from himself to his comrades in arms who were there with him, saying this is our, no the mine, it belongs to them and their loved ones just as much as it belongs to me. those guys saved my life and a lot of other people s lives that day. for me, it s an individual award for a collective effort. pretty remarkable words there. yeah, it was humbling, actually, to watch the interview. when you talk to a lot of medal of honor winners, i m sure colonel jacobs would agree, you
