the right focus, the right strategy, and became a two-term president. we ve seen that with many other presidents over the years. so, i don t think anyone needs to hyperventilate. the palace intrigue is good for politics and a lot of punditry but it doesn t always get down to the real issue is, are the policies right, are they making the case to the american people, do the american people feel like someone s fighting for them and moving forward. that s going to be the ultimate test but it has to be policy first, a set of disciplines, and a communication strategy that s equal to the policy strategy. it s interesting you mention fighting for the american people, because that fight happens not only domestically but also abroad. so before we go, i want to jump into the u.n. ambassadorship role and that role has been downgraded, no longer a cabinet position. what message does that send in terms of protecting our own people to the rest of the world? tim? oh, yeah, well, the what s reall
and brett s words weaponized. he s weaponized the national anthem. so c stay in the locke room if they want toe a knee. others can go out. remember, no eagles. that s right. none. and so the union has to step in and come up with a collective policy so players won t or feel divided. i want to give a little credit because when this policy first came out, i came on this network and i said that the nfl season begins in september. perfect time for him to weaponize it for the midterms. the associated press spoke to an anonymous source in the white house on monday, and they revealed that that is his direct intention to use this and to keep bringing it up, especially in september and october. he wants to try to use the most popular sport in this country to divide the country even more than. nfl owners who are among the
