one of this thing thats that benefited him, is when this race was taking shape, was that renacci was going to have a one-on-one with dewine. he had run for the senate with trump s endorsement. he believed getting into this race, that he would take what you re describing, channel that into an endorsement from donald trump, and get a one-on-one contest with dewine and maybe be able to sort of condense that anti-dewine/pro-trump vote. i think renacci has struggled as a candidate. we saw this with him in 2018. and what s happened, is this guy, joe blystone, has surprised everybody. a business owner that said, i am the face of what mike dewine did to business owners, did to businesses with his covid restrictions. if you didn t like that, i m your guy. and blystone has gotten traction with that, as well. dewine may be benefits from split opposition here.
the el paso shooter, posted just minutes before the shooting unfolded at walmart that talks about warning of a hispanic invasion, using a lot of other extremist, racist rhetoric that was posted on 8chan, which is a message board that seems to foster a lot of this. can you walk us through what happened here? what is this place online, and how are shooters across the globe seem to be collectively drawing inspiration from this place? sure, it s a totally anonymous place and that s a big deal for people who want to root on mass murder and tell people to go read white nationalist manifestos and do thing thats are quasi legal in other countries and totally legal here. that s what happened. this guy followed the path of the christchurch shooter who posted a manifesto on this website shortly before he went and committed a terror attack. and that s what happens on this site too.

productive. united states willing to lift restrictions on ballistic missile size. warhead size on south korea. productive call now but took more than 30 hours for it to happen. a lot of talk in the neighborhood, in the region there, what was that about? the timing. i mean, timing of a lot of that was so peculiar about trade issues. thing thats that weren t a surprise in terms of policy but timing was given tensions over there. so i think there probably is an effort to smooth that over, but, again, it s president trump s twitter account versus sort of his advisers getting in, intervening and orchestrating a call. and this call to president moon in south korea which is on the peninsula which has the most to lose in any military strike, comes after president trump talked twice to japan s leader, shin-s shinzo abe, and in the span of two days, a one-two punch where president trump said he was
