and he dodged questions from the press on his way out. the thaks republican party leaders as new york times reports, they are calling on the committee to cut ties with trump. and reince priebus, according to multiple people, has said he fears adrift, fearing trump is headed for disaster and told one long time associate he was having sleepless nights. joining me from the center for equal opportunity. i have to say, the ryan speech was sort of a fascinating little message in a bottle from an alternate universe. but forget about trump. it is not even trump the personality. it is ideologically he doesn t espouse the things that paul ryan says the republican party stands for. absolutely. i think it is quite appalling what is happening within the republican party. and i can tell you as someone who is a long lived republican. someone who has worked for
from earth two where the republican party has not nominated donald trump. he made no mention of trump in a q & a. and he dodged questions from the press on his way out. the thaks republican party leaders as new york times reports, they are calling on the committee to cut ties with trump. and reince priebus, according to multiple people, has said he fears adrift, fearing trump is headed for disaster and told one long time associate he was having sleepless nights. joining me from the center for equal opportunity. i have to say, the ryan speech was sort of a fascinating little message in a bottle from an alternate universe. but forget about trump. it is not even trump the personality. it is ideologically he doesn t espouse the things that paul ryan says the republican party stands for. absolutely.
for their kids, with the assumption of if worse comes to worse, i can make it on social security. yeah, that s right. and this was a you might say that this was an ideological speech in the best sense of that word. and the battle of ideas and of visions is one that liberals, progressives, have been absent from for almost a generation and have adopted the conservative rhetoric. and in this speech, obama came out forthrightly and i guess the thing about takers was as close as he came to spiking a football. but, mostly, his language, mostly his language, though firm and clearly progressive, was nonconfrontational. it was he was not gloating. but he was forcefully making a case that presidents, that liberal presidents, if i may use that terrible word, liberal
education for grade school and for university. he talked about climate change. now, he s talked about a$é+m) @% these things before. so none of this comes as a surprise. but he also talked about the need to organize. that citizens involved, and it s not a coincidence that he s making those points to and othe just a couple of days after he has transformed his political presidential campaign into an organizing outfit now called organizing for action, that jim messina and others will be in charge of. so i think he is aiming for those far away fences for things you would like to see him do, chris, but it s going to happen. not just if he wants to do it, but if he can mobilize enough political support to try to get over some of that republican obstructionism. joan, the same question. did you see the beef today? terms of substantive accomplishments worthy of a second term? i did, chris. it was a soaring speech. it was an inspiring speech. but it was also as david said practical nuts and
the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few. or the rule of a mob. they gave to us a republic, a government of and by and for the people. in trusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed. i think i ve heard this from liberals and i think it s something very important. we all accept the fact that our rights are innate, they come with our birth, they aren t given to us by a government. but, oftentimes, it has taken a government to give us those rights in effect, whether it was mississippi in 62 or alabama in 63 or onward. federal troops or u.s. marshals. someone has had to come and say you will give these people their god-given rights. yeah, look, the speech had a powerful eloquence.
