some type of dirty socialism yesterday. if we just reduce it to one versus one, we don t get to the fact this is almost a critical point in american society. and that we are at a critical point which was reduced yesterday by donald trump who talked about the green new deal, which raising some of the issues and called a sitting congresswoman a lunatic, who called another senator elizabeth warren pocahontas, focus on the issues, don t focus on the horse race, and maybe, maybe we ll actually get our way out of this mess. scott lucas, bringing his perspective for us. scott, we appreciate your time today. thank you, george. the united states and south korea are trying something different. instead of a massive military drill as we have seen many times before, they are taking a new approach, a smaller scaled down approach. more on why that s happening. plus, an unarmed african-american man shot and killed, no charges for the police officers who shot him.
coup. do you get a sense that all of this, these revelations that we re learning from mccabe spell trouble for the current fbi, rosenstein current deputy attorney general as well as the doj on a whole? no, i don t, kendis. here s why. what i would find stunning is if our law enforcement and intelligence communities had credible evidence that we had a president who might be compromised by, of all things, a foreign adversary, or if we had a president who might have been involved in illegal campaign finance contributions to unfairly tilt the election playing field in his advantage. i think it would be the height of irresponsibility for our law enforcement and intelligence communities not to look into it, not to open an investigation. think about it, if an investigation was never opened and if a special counsel, robert mueller, was never appointed, we wouldn t have the 30, 33, 34
hampshire today but was here crossing the state in iowa last weekend. what he was telling everybody was don t focus on the man in the white house right now but focus on what you can offer as an alternative, because again, look at where we are. this is a place that donald trump won by ten percentage points and it s more than coming out of a potential field of 20 democrats. you ve also got to go and be able to make your pitch to iowans. here in marion county, this county won by a two to one margin for donald trump. for amy klobuchar, the message is defining, focus on issues like rural poverty, rural hospitals, agricultural and the commodity drop in prices. it s issues like that that can show up for democrats against the man who a lot want to attack. donald trump. what sort of reception is amy klobuchar getting and what s the makeup of the people that you re seeing there, going to see her? reporter: it s a lot of
rochelle, on that key right there, you kind of honed into that in a tweet you posted. you said if this turns out to be true, jussie, you will have done a disservice to all or have or will be victims of hate crimes. we do not need liars in the movement. absolutely. if this is a true and it s a hoax and it is a big if is it a big if? is it a big if though? i m not sure it is a big if. if you look at the evidence that police found inside of the two men s apartment, the bleach, i guess maybe they had a receipt from a noose or something that they bought from a department store and so i believed him at first and now i don t. i agree with john that this does a complete disservice to people who have or will be victims of crime. it also gives credence to maga supporters who continuously tell
newm newcomer, gotten the numbers wrong. she said that s not her point. one of the criticisms for you is that your math is fuzzy. the washington post recently awarded you four pinocchios about federal spending. if people really want to blow up one figure here or one word there, i would argue they re missing the forest for the trees. i think there is a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually and semantically correct than about being morally right. it s interesting to watch, because you watch as politicians grow and you watch them as they make mistakes. she could have said, yeah, i screwed that up. instead she says, look, don t focus on the numbers, focus on the moral imperative, which is an interesting argument. i think she understands about two things the era we live in, and we re in a time of showhorses, not workhorses. she understands how to
