dark jim crow connection. and then it was kind of used by every on everything by mitch mcconnell to paralyze the senate. the other half of the majority listening to the minority was that ultimately, the minority could not paralyze the senate. robert had many changes to keep the minority from paralyzing the senate. our founders said don t allow super majority to paralyze the senate because they were under super majority when they wrote the constitution so when we get-togethers and share our concerns, i think we can have the ability to restore and reinvigorate, improve the best concept of the filibuster whether they re the worst. senator merkley, thank you, sir. thank you, don. now i want to turn to adam, he is the former deputy chief of staff to harry reid and the author of the book kill switch, the rise of the modern senate. perfect person to talk about these issues. good to see you again.
i ll admit we do it too. sure. one of these crazy parades, you have to get across town. but we don t actual lily say them. we surround ourselves with colleagues friends, relationships. you probably have a concierge who you run everything by. a few of them. sure. mr. trump listens to advice. he listens to what people have to say. but in the end he does whatever in my experience he does whatever he wants to do says whatever he wants to. he used the term wrecking ball which i thought was tough, in the interview. let s say he likes to make a splash. do you have advice for the press out there covering donald trump every day? my advice is cover him every day. don t take a breather. this is from having written his book. i had to be on it every single day to get the fluctuations in terms of his messaging. that is my advice. don t give up and don t let up. thanks for being here kate.
