i think we need to be very careful as we move forward because it is a very dangerous situation. it s very complex. but i really firmly believe that we have to let the diplomatic strategy work without interference or without undermining it with other forms of military threats because you never know. it could be a deterrence, but it also could be provocative and, in fact, then we re in another ball game. and i don t want to see that happen. i know the president doesn t. the state department is really done a fine job in their diplomatic initiatives and we need to allow them to continue to do that. all right. congresswoman barbara lee always a pleasure. thank you so much for your time. greatly appreciate it. still ahead, an old book drawing new controversy. i will explain that to you next. i will explain that to you next.
it is complicated. the pentagon is addressing it, the biden administration to their credit is. i caution about these op eds. the op-ed was talking about what if there was a shadow government and shadow president that didn t recognize biden s re-election? what if there are battalions of troops that gather arms. nobody is thinking that would happen except for some op eds putting out pretty outlandish hypothesis. i would say it is the case there s enough things to be scared about in the here and now we don t have to engage in too much like crazy speculation about the future. point taken. thank you for being with the show today. eddie glaude always a pleasure to have you. please stay safe and healthy at home my friend. the next hour of deadline white house starts right after this quick break.
you make a great point. the jury should have been sequestered. should be secluded from the world around them. because family members, friends, the tvs, the newspapers, they re going to somehow leak into the jury. they should be sequestered, but the problem is the court administrator in that area is going to say, we don t have the funds to put him in a hotel. we don t have the funds to get them food. and in a case like this that has such significance in america, the jury should have been sequestered, yes, should have been kept together with no outside influences taking place, even though you re telling the jury, hey, don t be reading anything, don t with watching anything. 12 of those jurors, maybe one violated that rule. judge larry side lin, alwaysa pleasure having you.
you get the point. now almost every day something new is being declared racist by whoever decides what s racist. betsy ross is nonracist for the national racist. and now as of this week, one of america s first flags, the gaston flay, the one that reads don t tread on me, it s been a pro liberty symbol for almost 250 years but when actor chris pratt wore a shirt with the flag, yahoo which is the sort of news organization, ran an article suggesting that shirt choice reflected white supremacy. dean cain is an actor and star in the recent film gosnell. we spoke to him and here s what he said. what s going on here? stick always a pleasure, alwaysa pleasure. i m stunned. i don t know. it s shocking to me. i m wearing a shirt right now. oh, my gosh. it says coffee or die but it s said join or die in the old days. benjamin franklin political cartoon back in the day.
