because for too long in washington, we had accepted the unacceptable. and now there's a noise machine making it almost impossible to hear the alarm bells ringing in our everyday lives. americans are looking at prescription drug prices and wondering how they're going to be able it buy groceries and the president's got us arguing over whether to buy greenland. americans are picking up their possessions to flee a super storm and the president is picking up a sharpie to redraw weather maps. how did we get here? politics is supposed to be about making our everyday lives better, but nothing could be further from the top of the president's list. or come to think of it, the governor. speaking of pens, let's talk about that veto pen. because your legislature is doing extraordinary work, responding to the needs of the everyday, but when people need to get paid more, plain and simple, the governor's vetoing a minimum wage law. that's wrong. parents want to spend more time with their kids and the governor proudly, proudly vetoes a paid family leave bill. that is wr

fishel from washington into hot that were allegedly supposed to be some kind of a peace in atlanta so this really angered the total of all of them felt like you know they had spent nearly a year discussing with and sitting with u.s. representatives in couple intell trying to work out some kind of an agreement and essentially trump you know destroyed all of this in a series of tweets this is a good solid line and 12 months of that they were purposely attack u.s. soldiers and u.s. interests which are out u.s. service members killed last night and that they would purposely attack and target these elections and this is exactly living up to that this is probably about the 3rd time now the president of the election campaigns out come under attack by one group or another and putting them all up so what are we looking at now a would you say in the in the weeks the months the years ahead because i mean this is curious situation as you're illustrating there has clearly deteriorated. so this is exactly the fear you know that if anything you know that the deal that all of our own in washington we

the washington relationship is key. without it, it's hard to imagine where he would have gone without it. with it, he puts himself in a sphere that allows him to have dental and certainly he wanted to have. but it's conflicted because he's not really good with authority figures. any kind of taste a little bit. during the revolution, washington makes it clear that hamilton is a favorite. doesn't want to be everyone's favorite. he wants to be promoted or appreciated for his merits and he kinda doesn't like the fact that people see him as a favorite. during the wars, he and washington had kind of a spat. at a point where they are both clearly fatigued. have been up working with washington. he spent a lot of time at a desk writing things. either listening to washington tell him what to write or writing and correcting them. so there were clearly at this late point in the war. tired. and hamilton leaves his side and runs down a staircase to deliver a letter. gets stopped at the foot of the stairway. lafayette had a way of gra

yes, fighting corruption and making sure people feel like is heard here in washington. that's absolutely going to emain at the center of the agenda next year. [inaudible] if he wants to pass h.r. 1 so we we've gotten , we've gotten that done and we can focus on issues, obviously we'd love to see that. we're not holding our breath. one more question here? yeah. reporter: yeah, thank you. the events of this week have passed very quickly. you feel like you have any guidance from the what your about message should be to constituents when you go back home? sarbanes: absolutely we have guidance from our leadership. are by conversations that going on every single day but also by the example being set by ur speaker and others within the leadership. and that is, as members of congress and the house of article 1, ves, legislative branch, we have a tostitutional responsibility conduct investigation and demanded, where that's and clearly it is in this instance with respect to this latest episode. taken things to a new level in terms of that responsibility, and we're stepping into i

i think that washington isn't approaching this correctly i think you're asking exactly the right question which is what i mean caught in afghanistan here and i think that we need to deal with it to counter terrorism against to the. associated groups as well as rival groups in that country the united states has one being caught in afghanistan and that is to prevent another 911 to prevent the church or even from being used as a safe haven to launch a title suggests the united states i'm in favor of the united states with drawing from afghanistan but interestingly i guess i'm not in favor of negotiating with the taliban i think that the negotiations or indeed of course this is a group we have no you central trust in the agenda it's all over the table well for example oh we're pushing the notion that the trial is being should co-exist peacefully with the government but we're making all sorts of stipulations about human rights in that country none of those things are going to happen i think that the united states should talk to the tower and say if we're all were and say look we're leaving the

just become a subscriber to the washington examiner. i enjoy it a lot. trump.g about i thought he was just going to be a transitional figure. i am now beginning to think he may be transformational. i thought he understood that in a machiavellian sense he had all -- that he was going to have to be the lion two. media, education, technologies, bureaucratic and hollywood. now i am beginning to think he is a fox too. back to the previous conversation about -- it is always with the left, climate change, climate change. ted couple wrote a book. he is a marvelously respected man -- called lights out a few years ago. surviving the aftermath. urbed by leon panetta. they think there's a problem too. crisis, there could be a certain sense of we are not just having a crisis because of stupidity of man, it could be our moral beings. -- from the cornwall alliance who wanted to work from the heritage foundation, he is the major thinker against all this b.s. and says it is probably more of a spiritual problem for america. likee american christians me are piling on into
