Be departed. If he has to leave, he might not survive. Im victor blackwell. Lets start the show. What caused the civil war its not a trick question. Any response that does not mention slavery is a wrong answer. And asking you rather what you want me to say about slavery, thats the wrong followup. This week republican president ial candidate nikki haley fumbled on all three points. It created a striking moment the at a Campaign Town Hall new hampshire. Watch this. I think the Cause Of The Civil War was basically how government was going to run. The freedoms and what people could and couldnt do. I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are. I will always standby the fact that i think government was intended to secure the Rights And Freedoms of of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people. In the year 2023, its astonishing to me that you answered that question without mentioning the word slavery. What do you want me to sa

starts now. tonight on the reidout fundamentally a second trump term could mean the end of american democracy as we know it. he s literally called for things like doing away with parts of the constitution. wanting to weaponize the doj to enact revenge on his political enemies. we re running out of time in order to try to stop trump from being in the oval office again. former trump staffers warn the nation, the threat is real. and democracy is at stake as we enter this presidential election year. michael fanone, one of the heroes of january 6th, joins me tonight. also, two weeks to iowa. and desantis and haley are still treating the front-runner donald trump oh, so gently. as if they don t really want to win. plus, he was paid by the trump campaign to find proof of widespread election fraud in 2020. he found none. and told them so. they continued to push the big lie anyway. ken block is my guest tonight. good evening, everyone. happy new year. i hope you enjo

But she was speaking to a national audience. She was really trying to present herself, i think very differently from many of her other colleagues in this race.
