the presidency in my lifetime who hasn t at some point or another in the process had to confront the base of their own party on an where they say you re wrong and that you know, think about donald trump on a certain number of issues, think of george w. bush, going all the way back, there comes a moment that you have to be in line with the base of the party in order to win the nomination and to be president of the united states there s a couple of issues that you have to demonstrate political courage and what that definitionally is taking a position that is in opposition to the vast majority of the people who are in your coalition. i think it s early in this contest and whoever is going to be the democratic nominee eventually that moment is going to come. but the problem for the people in this race, on the edges of this debate the ones who recognize that after this next set of debates in july that the criteria for getting on the debate stage is going to get tougher, they re all very
tennis john mcenroe, jimmy conners, nastasi, going all the way back, even andre agassi, misbehavior has been tolerated in a way that it just is not with a woman. and the greatest of all time, serena williams. i m not, by the way, advocating for everyone to lose their minds. i m not at all. what i m saying is that tennis is a sport that has never done this. kris evert said this on the broadcast. this has never before happened in tennis. and the great billy jean king saying when women have this kind of conversation or get angry, they are hysterical. when men do it, they are outspoken. it is time for the tennis world to really look at these issues in my humble opinion. yes, and wipe that hysterical word off the map period. well, you answered my next question, which was going to be about kris evert making that point right after the match. so i want to talk about what
here they are and you re in awe of people like this. that s why this event is so phenomenal. a quick question about caroline kennedy, now reported to be our next ambassador to japan unless they move her to another capital. it s most likely she will be going to japan as the next u.s. ambassador. some are questioning credentials, you know caroline, you ve worked around her. ha do you think of her as our next ambassador to japan? well i know that her husband actually has a tremendous knowledge of japan so perhaps she s also become very interested in it herself. i think that caroline kennedy was enormously loyal and supportive to obama in the first election campaign. i think she s proved that she is very serious now about entering some kind of a public service role. for her to go to japan is a probably a very good appointment. out of the limelight of the american spotlight. she ll be able to serve in the way she wants to serve and develop her own public service
if not only his historic role going all the way back, but also the way he brought all sides together through reconciliation. absolutely. andrea, thank you for having me. all the information i get from close people to mandala indicate that your report recently a few minutes ago, is accurate. that he is steadily improving. and of course, he is 94 years old and has had repeated problems with his lungs. i m told it could be as much as two weeks that he s in the hospital. i m sure they won t let him go until they feel confident that he is doing well. he is a symbol not only in south africa, the story that was just told is so symbolic of how people in south africa feel about nelson mandala. both black and white. because he stood for reconciliation. once he became president, and i think that even though today.
american people learn more about him. let s get it out in the open. he wants to run a campaign where he drowns me in mud with money he raises from people who are for closing on floridians. and never mind that gingrich s own campaign has gotten a $10 million infusion, one of the largest in history, from a casino magnate, who is now under federal investigation, it s almost like mental jujitsu. it s like he s been accused of a crime and just throws it right back at the interrogator and says, you re the one that committed the crime. well, that s the gingrich that s his history. i mean, going all the way back, my first book was on the revolution of 94. the way he became speaker was tearing down the democrats. the way he became speaker was, say anything, attack, don t just say the democrats are wrong on issues, say they re evil villains. i mean, this is the gingrich way. that was in the language, that was in memos that they would distribute. people used to say that karl rove was so
