Incredible strength that you can t imagine during some really, really difficult times and so that is one more example of the power of prayer. something else i saw firsthand, wasn t a surprise to me, but it was the outpouring of love from you, my colleagues. both republican and democrat. i know right after the shooting, we were practicing on the republican side and the democrats were practicing too. and my colleague and friend and sometimes arch rival in baseball from back home in new orleans, unfortunately, the star of the game too many times, cedric richmond somehow figured out which hpital i was sent to and got there probably the first person there on the scene in his baseball uniform to check on me. so many others of you, again, both republican and democrat, reached out in ways that i can t express the gratitude and how much it means to me, jennifer and our whole family. it really does show the warm
Trouble. the good thing of course is we are last year, the paris agreement, the whole world came together and said, okay, we understand this is catastrophic. if we don t do something it s all going to end in tears and the whole world came together except for two, maybe three countries. three now. three now, yes but what was interesting and what i thought was if you look at the positives, was that the fear i mean, president trump said in his campaign that he was going to do that so it wasn t a surprise. the surprise i think and the positive was that the rest of the world didn t just go, if the u.s. don t want to do this, we re out. they did the opposite. we re going to go even harder. we ll really combat this. you had the major cities in the u.s. go in like new york saying, we re going to do our bit, california the state which is the biggest polluter in the u.s. said we ll go even further. so overall it s positive but the
In phoenix and this is someone who frequently appeared at campaign rallies and is very controversial. not just among republican and democrat battleground but also again receiving harsh criticism from prominent republicans. i have to tell you, i remember talking to ally outside of that campaign rally which it must have been a doozy of a story, because that is a while ago. the president hinted at all of this at another big rally that he had there in phoenix. so this really wasn t a surprise, was it? well, it wasn t a surprise. and the fact that we could all have that memory just shows that time is a flat circle. we are doing the same story over and over again with new updates. so this week when we were in phoenix, arizona, trump was expected to pardon joe arpaio but then heard from the president was not going to do while on the stage at rally and he had a prediction that joe arpaio would be just fine. he said i m not going to do it tonight. i was to avoid the controversy. he didn t s
And the way he delivers them matters. so, it was late, and we all know this is a president who when he s angry about something, tweets within a minute of it, and this took 48 hours. david, i want you to stand by. heidi, please stand by as well. we have to take a quick break. we re going to resume this important conversation right after this.

Accountable. justice will be delivered. racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the kkk, neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. all right, cornell, what did you think? what i thought was his speech today represented a kind of rhetorical minimum. but we have to be very clear about this, that heretofore, the president s position has represented a kind of immoral, implausible deny ability. that is to say he wanted to retain the support of the white nationalist base or portion of his base while saying to the nation he stood against hate, bigotry and discrimination. in other words, he wanted to have his hate cake and eat it, too. so, today s speech represented an attempt to be very clear
