other people like maybe a florida governor desantis who is itching to get into the race and his supporters. i heard from some of them yesterday who were kind of champing at the bit waiting, licking their chops and excited by the prospect. you heard desantis supporters watching this saying basically this is good for us? yeah. behind the scenes if they re being honest they will tell you that this was a good day for them. you remember who the storyteller is matters here. she s relatively soft-spoken, not historical, she s telling it as we were talking about off camera in such a composed way, juxtaposing to the chaos and utter nonsense that she s describing. she s so put together. and she is i mean, she is a true believer, this is someone who worked for representative scalise, this is someone who worked for representative meadows. this is not, you know, someone who is half in and half out. she was all the way maga and has managed to do this at the young age of 26, knowing what the
don t learn the name of this evil kid. not kid, 18-year-old who did this, who was confronted by good, by courage, by aaron salter jr. and others. that law enforcement officers save lives and that grocery store. so many were tragically taken at the hands of an evil racist. but he saved lives. watching that ceremony with joe biden in the white house, juxtaposing that alongside what happened in buffalo, it just gives you a staggering reminder of the risk that men and women take on behalf of us every single day. because you cannot eradicate evil. there are policies pursued, investigations that need to happen. who knew what and when, what warning signs were there, he was in a mental facility for a day and a half and threatened to shoot up his own graduation at his high school. so they were warning signs. we will get the who, what, and where, but ultimately when evil rears it head it takes people like aaron salter jr. and those whose names were read at the white house moments ago. emily: a
prop properties, i posted the destroyed area with the apartments and stuff. yeah, what is fascinating is that you were able to gain the trust of so many ukrainians who were telling you their stories, what they were seeing on the ground and you were posting that, juxtaposing that with what russian state media and propaganda and people like your own mother were saying. you know how russian state media works. you actually began your career working for one of the networks. what is so powerful about their appeal to the russian public that they can believe things that are told to them, despite hearing things completely different from family members and loved ones in ukraine? well, that s crazy, but people don t have the opportunity, like, ways, well, to get news from, for example,
particularly, i think, you d written it after india had done a big nuclear test and you were reflecting on what that meant for india and for the world. you know, these aren t necessarily the subjects of your average pop song. no, it s interesting, actually, because the nuclear, kind of, context was one part of everything, and the album, as you rightly pointed out, begins with vajpayee, the indian prime minister at the time, talking about how he d proudly tested three nuclear bombs in the pokhran range, in india. but it was interesting because he was the leader at that time of the bjp, which was the hindu fundamentalist party, which i found an interesting way to begin, juxtaposing against the book end of 0ppenheimer, who was in charge of the manhattan project, who was of german descent, an american scientist who was actually quoting the hindu scripture in condemnation of his own creation.
democratic principles, to build a closer relationship to western europe, and to the values the geographic space represents, was absolutely crucial that president biden was there and able to do that. i also wanted to get your perspective on how americans were taking in this moment for their u.s. president in europe. to what degree were americans listening in, hearing out what president biden had to say, and taking in why this fight is worth it? i think this trip abroad was an opportunity to bring media attention to president biden not just talking about it as he had done during the state of the union address where of course juxtaposing autocrats with democrats and so on and so forth is absolutely crucial. but making that trip, being there on the ground, having the media extensively cover each and every one of those visits with the troops, going to poland,
