49%. now, we do know that this is a president that looks at polls. the polls he doesn t like he sort of dismisses. but he also thinks he has a special lie-in with republicans and conservatives in particular. we ll hear from him at this rally tonight in mississippi. what do you think he s going to say? that s his biggest defense, the fact that the republican base is with him and that s why you re not seeing republican lawmakers break from him, because you will will see if any of them break from him, they will get the wrath of the republican base. we have seen the numbers increase over the last four weeks as the president has gone through impeachment. we ve seen more people support impeachment, in part because the white house and the president have not had a clear strategy of defense. the president wants to cater specifically to his republican base and that gives you maybe a third of the country, but democrats are saying this looks
they told us it would be weeks before this caravan would get here because they were walking and that was a lie. they said it was mostly women and children, that was a lie.in so until we get to the facts, we can t know how to respond. so let s stop with the lying and to tell us what is actually going on. and you know as well as i come it s mostly economic migrants looking for higher wages in the united states. i m not attacking them but that s a reality. there is no organized effort to get these migrants from the border to the u.s.-mexicos border. i know vice president pence said there were forces in latin america financing this and making it some sort of a conspiracy to undermine the u.s. government, but the reality that these people are fleeing honduras, 300 residents are leaving the country every day and they do that because ofa the levels of violence and extreme poverty that they face. so what would you do? this is not ideal. this is a humanitarian crisis.

the capital city and the state you live in and show up and fill space with thousands of people s bodies who are all saying the same message, you know, lie-in, die-ins. these kids have learned from previous generations and now they re implementing that to get the policy they want. i think this is a great moment. after new town, we didn t have the same movement. we did have a president who was saying at the state of the union address, many of those family members are now aligned with these students. to join this push. i think all of that momentum is going to push us in a direction that s more compassionate and less obsessed, as you said, with guns or at least the assault rifle. they re not letting it go. march 24th. the marches all around the country. thank you both. a brazen and reckless crime. that s what a top business official is describing the poisonings of a former russia spy in britain and his daughter. this morning, new developments
