author who has chronicled the mafia in books and films. trump was raised in that environment, it was normal aized to him. what is your take? my take is that the president has a very attenuated ear and that he knows how to reach his base. and maybe it is a guy thing, those of us who can recite every single line from godfather 1 and 2. 3 not so much. but i think that he taps into a vein of some support that exists for those that the feds are going after. i think he knows what he is doing in this regard and he is laying a predicate so that he can later say, look, they invested all that time and all that money and this is the best they could come up with? i ve talked to trump supporters who say that they love that he does not talk like a politician. not sure this is what they had in mind though. but there has been more talk
with severe, you know, cuts, having been hit with sticks, others having been hit with fists, a lot of people bleeding, i don t see any in my presence right now. we saw just a few moments ago a couple canisters, tear gas. we are going the other direction. all right. i guess these people are running away from the police who appear to be on the verge of moving in right now. we have seen some canisters of either tear gas or smoke canisters, i haven t been hit by any of them so i don t know if it s tear gas. you can see people who are taking treatment here for having been maized, let s go ask this guy what happened to him real quick. sir, can i talk to you, tell me what happened? i can t talk right now, bro. i got hit with pepper spray. who did it? one of the nazis.

is what s making their job difficult. i want to bring in our own doug who is if i m not mistaken on the ground there. doug, if you can hear me, we are seeing seeing the live pictures, can you tell us how the situation has escalated this morning, when it started to get more tense this morning and what you re seeing around you. well, it s been tense here from the get-go and evidence of that, if you look over my shoulder right there, you can see the forming of several police officers with riot shields and helmets, it looks like they are prepare today move on right here. if you swing around in the other direction, let s go up this way, you can take a look at the epicenter of the conflict right now, things are calm at this particular moment, but if you look at the side here in the sidewalk, people who are getting treatment for having been maized or pepper sprayed, they claim by alt-right nationalist people who were in the protest area. these are counterprotestors out in this area. we ha
