his own self interest or above america s interests, he took a pledge of allegiance to himself, rather than america. that i think is the worst possible outcome, the worst possible judgment someone could make. matt gates, of course, this is chump for him. he loves to be have things to talk about, other than the fact that the department of justice appears to be investigating him for the possible crime of child sex trafficking. he is running around with a statement on twitter, saying they are weak, sniffling, denigrating all of them. what s striking to me is the power this is how it looks from the outside i m curious if you see this another way, the power balance has shifted to that part of the faction. the paul gosar, is matt gates, they are the avant-garde of the republican party. they will be the avant-garde of a republican majority, should
president and the prime minister. we have to ask how deep the relationship go, russia is cautious of the power balance, it doesn t want to be this kind of oil exporter to china, and the ambulance of power is very much tipped in china s favour. if they have got things like similar ideas about authoritarianism and how to run their countries, i don t think putin can count on xi to share his world view. you can see that in the way that china responded to things like the annexation of crimea, they abstained on the un general assembly vote and also, its role in the conflict in ukraine and they have been cautious, used the kremlin language and not calling it a war. they recognised that the war benefits nobody and for china it scuppered a lot their economic plans which included ukraine, and then obviously there is i suppose the domestic problems which is a a lot of the russian media in the far east, in border regions close to
their parents. helena also said she idolized her mother. she was always the fun mother. and jackson said my dad was this great dad who taught me all these great things, taught me to do the right thing. all of a sudden jackson has to use that knowledge that his dad gave him on doing the right thing and use it to turn his dad into the fbi. at only 18 years old, that s a huge decision to me. . and you dive into the psychological impact and how it has flipped the script. generally speaking, it s parents who worry about their wayward children. but because of the insurrection it s children worried about their wayward parents. that s psychologically traumatic. the power balance between parents and children because of that innate power imbalance that children have with their parents. they can t tell their parents the same thing that parents can tell their children. and so when i talked to dr.
