0 ahead of that messaging before the science had before that regulators were on the same page with them. john: , and on the immigration front, the mayor of del rio, texas, is on the extraordinary pictures. they declared a state of emergency in his town. thanks for being with us on this friday martha: thanks, john and jacqui. a lot of breaking news. i m martha maccallum in new york. any moment now, there you can see the podium is set up at the pentagon. a huge development breaking right now as we are told that officials are about to announce that no isis-k fighters were killed in the august 29th u.s. drone strike in kabul that killed ten civilians in fact. there s no disciplinary action we re told expected as a result of that obvious misstep, mistake, whatever you want to call it. a lot of questions moments away about what happened with what was said to be a great example of our over-the-horizon ability to take out targets in afghanistan despite the fact that we pulled out. so there
certainly could have a suppressive effect. we don t know how many voters this will deter from the ballot box, but we also don t know how many black voters this will galvanize because they understand so many of these laws are in direct response to the record turnout we saw in november and in january with the georgia senate runoff. they know these bills are they re targeted at many of the strategies that they use to get around voter suppression headed into the 2020 election and the voter suppression that they re trying to enact headed into elections this year, next year and beyond. so i would not be surprised if this continues to be a showdown between voter suppression and voter turnout. that is really what our elections have come down to, and i think we have to think about that in addition to thinking about what is happening in congress with legislation that may or may not happen, frankly, and that seems to be facing pretty long odds as we sit here
paul: dan, a big fight in the administration on trade policy. this is critical of the administration on some of the trade policy, particularly helter-skelter nature of it. we get a lot of support from inside the administration, just to let our viewers know. a lot of people cheer us on on that, someone outside, folks that are out there say do not dare criticize the crpresident that but there is a fundamental economic policy to make here. you and i don t think the debate has really is over trade per se. we do need a trade deal with china. the debate really centers on the idea of tariffs and the tariffs he s imposing stone them against germany as well and he has tried to make them part of the deal with china. i think a lot of people inside the white house, this overhang has had a suppressive effect on the economy going forward. and crisis could begin to rise as a result of the tariffs

just i m better than trump because, yeah, there s a suppressive effect of trying to maybe tail off a couple of his folks, but there were 5 million people eligible to vote and 16 that didn t, and i think we also have to do something for them. how do we bring some of those folks back into the fold, and the truth is for the constituencies we re going to have to move, it was bad for them yesterday. they suspect it s going to be and i want to know how your going to make it better for me. in detroit we ve been enjoying so much progress we ve seen in this city, great restaurants, a lot of new construction, new shops. where did that come from? in part, the recovery act. who was leading that act, joe biden. so if he s smart, i would be talking about we can do big things. when we work together we can make a difference in peoples
