send out a fundraising e-mail yesterday, i believe, where the subject line was impeach, impeach, impeach. again, he s not exactly in striking distance of diane feinstein, but i think he does represent a kind of what s going on in the liberal grassroots within the democratic party, the sort of urge to get something. that s what the establishment is really trying to placate. you could read the push by chuck schumer to delay the kavanaugh hearings because of these revelations. almost a misdirection or a redirection, rather, of that sort of frustration and anger. and certainly republicans certainly see impeachment as a way to rally their base against a year of democratic enthusiasm. you re seeing that from a variety of places. steve bannon, the former trump adviser, has a group. they re talking a lot about
victory for the president and it comes of course during a time when his administration is mired in an entirely different kind of immigration question. but on this one, by a ph5-4 rulg with the conservatives in the majority joined by kennedy and the court s liberals upholding the president s travel ban, striki down a lower court order that had blocked the administration from impose egg the travel ban. w, as a practical matter the president has already been enforcing this redirection that was announce the last september. the supreme court in december sort of prefigured today s decision by lifting a stay that had been put in place by a judge after a lawsuit from hawaii and several muslim organizations and muslim individuals who said that it violated religious freedom. so, craig, a big victory for the president. back to you. nbc s pete williams there reporting osi the supreme court.
be the one to do this? what do you make of what sounds like a redirection from donald trump or whoever wrote his tweets this morning? well, to be fair, president obama in some ways did get us into this mess and donald trump is now stuck with it. we have a morally and strategic broupt approach to syria and not a lot of good options right now. the best option available to us, unfortunately is the one the trump administration is least willing and able to try which is serious diplomacy and when you don t have a secretary of state and you re in the middle of turnover of your national security adviser, when you dismantle the foreign service, it s hard to do that. there is, of course, a total irony in trump trying to deflect this on obama. trump has done exactly what president obama did and was really beaten up for in the context of afghanistan, which is to say, when you say we re getting out when obama said we re getting out of
ment of them love the white noise and redirection. more it s about hillary clinton less it is about donald trump. the attorney general is on thin ice for a long time with the president of the united states. you think his job is now in further jeopardy? always seems to be in further jeopardy, but he never goes anywhere. he s been pretty insistent he s not going anywhere. of course, it s up to the president if he wants to remove the attorney general, who he would put in place in terms of who could get through the senate is an open question. interesting to see what republicans do now. we have heard some republicans criticizing jeff sessions, particularly folks in the house freedom caucus. those calls grow? we have to watch the president s twitter account, right? we know privately, and apparently calls jeff sessions mr. magoo, and he s talked about him being weak and, obviously, being frustrated with him that
white roses to acknowledge that. what will you wear? i have a black gown on, so i m representing as well, as a woman, it is my duty, i think it is an interesting time for us, there is a real shift, it s a movement. last night i was at the australia awards and naomi watts got up giving a fantastic speech talking about. that it s a great time. women in the business, role models, we need to speak up, represent. there are changes happening right now. it is for the better. kelly: i mentioned at the top of this you re a multiple platinum-selling artist known around the world and to america, to america s audience is growing, but you re a young girl from the outback. how does a young girl from the outback make her way to the world s stage in music? i followed my dream against all odds, against all rejections. as i say, every rejection is really a redirection. i pursued my dream. i believed in myself.
