What are the chances, particularly now that republicans have given up a tax increase in january and are taking a hard line now, what are the chances of getting a bigger agreement to tackle our deficit . That is a very fair question. I was disappointed in the fact that the supercommittee did not achieve a positive result. In this latest round, the democrats have been trying to get to the negotiating table since march. That is when the house passed the budget and the Senate Democrats passed their budget. The normal courses to begin negotiations. We were blocked by republicans in the house and senate. Now were finally going to the table. Here is one thing i know. Talks do not guarantee success. You mentioned examples where we were not able to get funding accomplished. If you refuse to talk, you are guaranteed failure. We hope within the scope of these conversations we are able to move the ball forward. Now the conferees, the negotiators they will have to , decide what the scope is. How mu
Place. And even when he couldnt fight physically, he kept fighting. The work he did throughout his life is evident here by the people who came out. Me being one. I wouldnt miss this here to honor his life. The legacy. And hopefully i will pass his legacy on through my actions of trying to help others, as he did. Reporter real quick, talking of legacy, how do we all commit to the legacy . Of course its voting. But just talking, having conversations, getting to know people, look around at the crowd today, its a very diverse crowd. Instead of just blocking ourselves off into our own ideologies, getting out, meeting people but definitely voting for your convictions and the things you believe in. Same question. I agree. Voting is number one. And also getting to know people. Not judging people by what you see but getting an opportunity and chance to know people because there are no good, in any ethnicity or no all bad in any ethnicity. And everybody has something to contribute. Sometimes we
I heard eight times about joe bidens 47 years in washington, one guy guys think what will happen in year 48. Its interesting. Here is donald trump. He is the incumbent president. He has been in Office Almost 48 months now and yet once again a in 2016, he is trained to run an outsider trying to say that joe biden represents the swap from a halfcentury in washington and he is the one wh try to begin to clean up the swamp and the first term and would proceed to do it and a second term. Whether hes able to sell that to the american people, thats one of the challenges. Really moving moments with jon ponder, who the president gave a pardon to. He was a prisoner who had an experience speaking to jesus christ in prison, really moving story and it goes to bat whole side of the equation, Prison Reform and he appealed is being made to a lot of minority voter is part of that. I think that is right, martha. That is a subject that is dear to my heart. I serve on the board of a Christian Youth home i
Times in the back. It was high alert overnight, a man openly carrying a large gun. Some protesters, you see here, chasing him. He then discharged his weapon multiple times at those giving chase. The footage appears to show one man shot, then falling to the ground. This will be paused before that actual shot. Thats part of our standards. Now, police are also using, in those protests, armors vehicles, tear gas, and rubber bullets on the demonstrators, quite a scene. That unrest, a state Police Shooting of a black man, allegedly without cause, then peaceful protests met with allegedly antiblack violence. That, obviously, right now is all playing out against the backdrop of this Republican Convention now half over and trafficking in both suburban fear as well as appeals to basically the way donald trump wants people to view criminal justice. And that included last night, for example, a diverse speaking roster as well as a controversial madefortv pardon and think about it like this. State a
Maine. I heard one guy saying what will happen in year 48 of joe biden in washington. Yeah, thats a big part. Its interesting. Heres donald trump. The incumbent president. He has been in Office Almost 48 months now and yet once again, as in 2016, hes trying to run as an outsider trying to say that joe biden represents the swamp from a half century in washington and that hes the one who tried to begin to clean up the swamp in the first term and would proceed to do it in a second term whether hes able to sell that to the american people, thats one of the challenges. Brit, moving moments with john ponder who the president gave a pardon to. He was a bank robber. He started a Reform Program for prisoners. He had a experience speaking with jesus christ in prison. A moving story that goes to that side of the equation. Prison reform and the appeal being made to a lot of minority voters as part of that. Thats right, martha. A subject dear to my heart.
