A fellow senior here atbookings and im really happy to be here for two basic reasons. One, this is a great book. And two, vanessa is an awesome person. And im just so happy that vanessa what about a year ago joined us here at the brookings institution, and then prompghtly produced this great book. You know, been here for a short time and through the short intro of vanessa but something that says a lot about her which is vanessa has coauthored the first, the first one is called the tea party an and the renation of conservatism and vanessa shows this book is a strong conviction. But in her Tea Party Book and her convictions are quite different from those of tearkt tea Party Activist she shows capacity of understanding of poonl she profoundly disagrees with and we need that gift of empathy at this moment in our politics
Im happy to be here because its a great book and vanes says an awesome person. Vanessa joined us here at the Brookings Institution and then promptly produced this great book. Having been here for a short time. I think ill go through the formal intro of vanes sample vanessa. She has written two books, their, the fit called the pea party and the remaking of american conservatism. She is a woman of very Strong Congress visitations but in her convictions but in her Tea Party Book she showed an enormous capacity for a sympathetic understanding of people she profoundly disagrees with and whether we need that gift of empathy at this moment in our politics. So just to tell you how well do this. Vanessa while talk about this great book and her findings and then ill introduce an Allstar Group of respondents who will respond to vanessa and im going to start a discussion among all three and then well bring you all into the conversation. Vanessa is a fellow in the government studies program at broo
Philip larkin would have approved. think it would be appreciative but i suspect an exhibition about philip larkin, im not sure he would have felt entirely comfortable around that. But as the exhibition shows, he was seldom entirely comfortable with anything. The sun is shining in hull as well, in fact, across much of the uk, but one exception and it is the cloud and rain in scotland, a stronger wind as well, but for the rest of the uk, good sunny spells or the cloud is increasing in wales and the south west, drizzle in the hills, the Odd Light Shower around. Edging further south. Clearing up on the far north behind that. A muggy night to come across southern parts of the uk. It felt fresher today and humidity again increasing. This sundays with a picture. The cloud and wet day tomorrow. The england and wet day tomorrow. The england and wales, the mixture of cloud and some sun, more cloud than today, a few showers breaking out especially across parts of eastern england, heavy and sundry
