publica went through and took a look at the fact that the amount he has, he said he would build a 1,000-mile wall strewn across the border, he has seven miles worth of money. i think first of all, it was america s failing to not build a wall around trump, a. but b, i think we should look to see if he s investing in a ladder factor because whatever wall happens, trump is going to be he knows people will have that ladder that s fun foot higher than any wall he would ever build. i just don t understand, he s like a macy s balloon that got loose that s like pounding into buildings and deflating and you could do the litany of things that he has said and it s never enough. for a comic, you try to remain with the relevance and things in the zeitgeist. but the end of the day the first thing you said you thought was going to be your winning strategy was bottom of the list. it s very hard to keep up. i want to talk about some of
with how to incorporate trump supporters and parts of trumpism on trade and immigration in particular. that needs to happen. i think both parties have neglected the voters. many of them are former democrats. what s best for the republican party, total collapse or keep paul ryan there to be the guy that sort of where theepublican party goes is totally up in the air. it s got to be reality based. i just keep going back to this, 1980, ronald reagan won 44 states with 56% of the white vote. mitt romney got 59% in 2012 and lost. a lot of these conversations about the republican party, on the interstate you have to drive 100 miles and only 75 miles worth of gas. you debate whether to stop and get gas. the car doesn t care, it will stop. republicans have to decide we can reach out to more non-white voters and win elections or not.
stronger. so the band that boris just talked about was probably 60 miles per hour. the band right here that will come on sure to jupiter and ft. pierce probably 80 miles per hour and that s still at least 150 miles from the center of the eye right now. the rub with this storm is that it s forecast to hug the coast, stay half on and half off the coast all the way from cocoa beach all the way to jacksonville and turning the right into hilton head and that s the problem. if this truly is going to be 145 mile per hour storm, and there s no indication that it s dying because this is warm water, it s the gulf stream. so if this stays at 140 to 145 and hugs the coast for hundreds of miles, there will be hundreds of miles worth of what we consider ef-2 tornado damage.
places in the city. remember the pope has to spend the night here. and they are responsible, the nypd and secret service for his safety. they had put out 24,500 barriers, as you see new york mayor bill de blasio greeting folks there, awaiting the pope s arrival at st. patrick s cathedral. is he out at the airport, i guess? 1200 traffic cones, 37 miles worth of barricades. 19 different trucks have been deployed as immovable bomb barriers, in effect. a very, very visible show of force. the security in and around new york city is among the stories that will be reported on tonight on nbc nightly news and from his perch above fifth avenue,
china is bulking up and building up many disputed islands in the south china sea. here are some before and after photographs of china s work released just this week. admiral harry harris commander of the u.s. pacific fleet, recently said that what china is doing in the area is, quote, creating a great wall of sand more than 1.5 square miles worth so far. it raises questions about china, questions being asked more and more these days like, is china an enemy? is it going to overtake america as a superpower? and what are the intentions of china s new leader, xi jinping? to help us get to the bottom of all this, i have two of the sharpest people i know on the subject. hank paulson was the 74th secretary of the treasury and is the author of a great new book dealing with china: an insider unmasks the new economic super power. and evan osnos was the new
