more to the story. howie: i outed myself as a long time spiderman fan. there were legitimate questions about the timing even after the president and his ambassador were all smiles in the oval office. why it s taking officials by surprise the morning after the swearing in of brett kavanaugh. but the instant speculation about her political future and conspiracy theories, let s just say there was a lot of air time to fill. hope hicks, who resigned as the white house communications director has found a new job. it s with fox. she has been hired for the new company that will emerge after disney buys the entertainment
for a guy, most of them, if they think they re racist. if you show you re not in some plaintiff, cartoonish way, it gets him off the hook. you know what i m saying? there s an entertainment story, race story, entertainment story here. i m going to confess to being out of my depth on the race run and the entertainment front so let s watch a little bit of snl from the entertainment side of this story. kanye is a genius, but like a musical genius like joey chestnut is a hot dog eating genius. i don t want to hear joey s opinion about things not hot dog related. anything conway can go to win you back? yeah, i ll tell you in a way that kanye understands. i made this. make kanye 2006 again. michael steele? yeah, yeah. i understand where you re coming from, chris. i think, though, beyond anything else, you set the narrative, i think, the correct way.
is poor conditions, a lack of modern machinery, rundown conditions in the sense that the place isn t even clean and certainly if he is dealing with his own working class people he is seeing people undernourished. that s in stark contrast for the exposure he had in singapore out looking at the entertainment side of downtown singapore and seeing results of the thriving economy. he has been talking, since january, about a strategic shift. that strategic shift implies moving away from nuclear power to economic power. to wanting to do something about his country. the more he is doing things like this and actually taking time to understand what is happening and possibly what the solutions are, those are positive steps. it doesn t mean he will totally
