believe in all kinds of positive ways, but i do think that when you combine that demographic change with all the economic stresses that people have been going through, it means that there is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear. some of it justified, just misdirected. i think somebody like mr. trump is taking advantage of that. there are some people that are just stone cold racist, we know that. but there are a lot of people also who feel, and are to some degree or another, feel like they are on the losing end of the stick. there are a lot of people who rose to the bait, i would say, the encouragement of the kind of pr mastery of trump. trump made it into an us and them in black and white. there was no question that he had a self-consciousness of a past to whipping up resentment. and, on was a black president. toward the end of obama s presidency, i received an invitation to what was billed as a celebration of black music at the white house. there was bel biv
Republican party that is poised to unleash painful consequences about the whole country. Some recess. Over the first to back for the House Of Representatives was in fact chaos. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy has been unable to move forward with crucial Appropriations Bills or Government Spending bills, and its not because democrats and republicans are fighting with one another. The fighting is happening among republicans. There have been ultimatums, insults thrown between members, closeddoor meetings, and no progress on anything substantive for which the house is actually responsible.

Can they agree for no Nuclear Proliferation and put pressure on north korea and also put pressure on iran . Is that possible . I think so. Paul okay. Lets talk about the domestic politics here because you know to have an effective Foreign Policy, you need domestic support. And the way the president handled that Press Conference has really hurt him in terms of his ability, i think, to maneuver inside congress and have the support he needs. Why did he get such at odds with the Intelligence Community judgment about 2016, when he really didnt need to . Yeah, i mean, listen, monday was a disaster. I think it was a low point of his presidency, to be sure. I dont get it to be frank, paul. I mean, i know that they put a
president . You know, theres a lot of misunderstanding about this. In talking to the people around the president , wh
A look at the days top news and headlines. With the track history of lying to his face. Dana with the account at that particular time that peter doocy was reporting on. She testified on friday. She said she felt like it was wrong but she did it anyway. Is she in any sort of trouble . Well, sounds like not. I mean, one the tactics you can do as a prosecutor is saying basically look, im viewing you as a witness. Im not making you any promises. You get up on the stand and tell the truth. The person gets up on the Witness Stand and kind of hard to impeach by crossexamination because they say i could still be charged. And they are kind of twisting in the wind a little bit. It gives them some credibility. I know there is a number that were immunized. She might have been one of them. Dana how awkward is it for the defendant to be there Paul Manafort and rick gates, colleagues for a long time, partners and now obviously on opposite sides of this very high stakes trial. How awkward is that for
