that s why we re watching young people eagerly to see what they can make of this. 20 years of mass shootings in schools, they ve maybe they re going to have, you know, think that we all failed them, and they ll try to fix it themselves. let s talk about donald trump j jr. he s in india doing family business. it looks like geopolitical business. same time. there s a debate over whether he s blurring the lines between business and government. i m not sure there s a line there. what do you see that is so unique about the donald trump selling the family business in india right now? look, it goes back to day one of this administration. you have a massive business empire, the trump business empire, and you have the presidency. there are no clear lines that separate them. this has always been a problem. the president has given control of the business to his sons. but as you see, the sons are very close to their father. and they re also very close to geopolitical do you think it
master said. security conference. other reports are saying. you want it fair, that s fine. don t, you need to separate those two issues that collusion is separate. the whole russian meddling the strait. you saw cnn s reporting that the mueller investigation is now looking into jared kushner s foreign financing efe ining eff. what does this tell you about the direction of the mueller investigation? we don t know the facts yet with respect to the financing of the trump business empire or the kushner family business empire. we know they have a lot of
