congresswoman barbara lee voted for. some of these decisions ultimately you could argue paved the way for the very deep divisions and disunity that i think we see today. you know, i think that unity allowed us collectively to make decisions based to some degree on fear that you could argue may not have been perhaps the most politically estute and politically calculating decisions to have made. a lot of the decisions made by the presidents we saw yesterday. of course, starting with bush but this has transcended so many presidencies. what did you make of seeing bush and speaking yesterday, obama and clinton in new york, president biden, of course, president trump a little bit. but what did you make of that? i was so struck just by watching and hearing these presidents. it was literally we used the word book end a lot over the last several years, but this was a book end from president bush to president biden. and i was struck by just how interwoven their presidencies were. george w. b
we re seeing other down the line potential big players in the republican party. governor greg abbott as an example really tap into the trump playbook, right? going to the border and standing by the border wall and becoming really the prominent foe of the biden administration and filing lawsuits as well as getting into the abortion fight, as well as voting rights, as well. and some of those actions trying to tap into the base that president trump had. so, seeing these numbers and seeing kind of the different support, it does hold to question in a way that strategy. i wonder how all of this with governor abbott and the new texas abortion law and the governors trying to make themselves in the mold of donald trump, how does that play into the midterms and how that will increase excitement from certain voters and the poll found those extremely enthusiastic about the mid term vote gop is 30% and
only way that we will preserve existing rights, and build upon our rights and fight for more. fred, a lot of energy here on the ground today. obviously, a smaller number than certainly that first year in 2017 but the folks i spoke with said they were energized, they want to be here because they felt there was more work to be done, besides just marching today. i also do want to point out that i asked the congresswoman her thoughts, and what we are expected to hear from president trump a little bit later this afternoon, extending protections for dreamers, for temporary protected status, folks, in exchange for funding for the border wall, she told me the dreamers, those, those recipients that she has spoken with, do not in her words want to be bargaining chipping. she said what she would like to see is a solid policy discussion but says that discussion cannot happen while the government is shutdown and says first the shutdown needs to end. erica hill in boston, thank you. and head t
but the campaign i m with her, didn t make me feel, as a guy, it didn t make me feel i didn t see my dad in. when i put this hat on, it made me feel like superman. superman is my favorite superhero. greg: when the president doesn t look good, america doesn t look good. if he don t look good, we don t look good. this is our president. he has to be the freshest, fly asked, best. we have to make our core re-empower. we have to bring jobs into america and we are putting people in position to have to do things to end up in the prison system. president trump: that was pretty impressive. [laughter] greg: all we really have is today. all we really have is today.
and trump together, convening. dana: this white house is very television savvy. sometimes they set up shots they do not work for them. this one is interesting. president trump is behind the desk. usually when he has a meeting with somebody in the oval office, he is with a world leader or someone, nikki haley, they were in the chairs. the president knew. he didn t elevate kanye west to that level. i m going to sit behind the desk and were going to have a meeting at the shop, the way it s set up, the only people in the shot, you can see president trump a little bit. the profile of kanye west and all of the media. it was interesting to watch with the sound off, as i did, when i was getting hair and makeup don done. i thought it s the craziest thing i ve ever seen, not in a bad way. it was different. we are in a time of extraordinary economic prosperity. you can solve problems like the ones they are talking about. you convene people to be able to
