The witness, but i think it was an absolutely breakthrough moment for the judiciary committee and for congress and for public sentiment, which abraham lincoln said was everything. you know, what we did was we took this abstraction of obstruction and we made it real in the case of tampering with particular witnesses like manafort, like stone, like, you know, the flynn case. in my case, i was talking about michael cohen. we talked about the president trying to get people to lie, trying to get peop...

Environment public works committee, making sure we can clean up poisoned water with pfoa for ten years, with lead from pcbs. the second piece is infrastructure. there is no more bipartisan idea than rebuilding americas infrastructure. high-speed rail, rural broad band, new electric grid, more mass transit. and last is green jobs. and we know that if you train young kids in s.t.e.m. and give them the opportunity to be able to be the next workers in wind, solar, geothermal, biopower its going to b...

South koreans want that. and i think, by the way, we talk about sanctions like theyre an abstraction, but if youre essentially being sanctioned, they have a massive effect on your gdt and your daily life. they really hurt north korea. so i know that kim, that was the first thing he brought up, like, weve got to get out from under the sanctions. so i guess the point is everybody has an incentive to make things better, and, i mean, it seems to be moving faster than it moved in 50 years toward some...

Because thats on fire at the border and we need to focus on that. and now weve taken the tension off the border for mueller again. that doesnt help human lives. >> ari: the other problem democrats will have after july 17th then he shows up, they have to decide to impeach or not. once he testifies, it really forces their hands. thats where the back fire comes in. at that point -- because they already believe collusion took place regardless of what mueller said. they already believe the abstractio...

Need to look at this photo. we need to say their names. oscar and valeria. because we have been dragged into a place in our politics where we have made abstractions of human beings and have disconnected policies and political debates from the people being affected. and thats exactly what we cant do. the administration will talk about coyotes a lot. they will talk about the border crossings in a way that try to dehumanize the people and undercut their idealism of wanting to come here. but this wa...

Put flesh and bones around all the abstractions in the report. we feel that, like, if people hear people say the actual words that are reported there, it will start to be a little more real. they can sink their teeth into it. i know most people havent read it. frankly, i havent read it. its too long. i dont have time. >> but youve read parts of it. >> yes, i have. and its horrifying, and people need to hear it. it needs to be real for them. >> thank you, abigail. >> thank you so much. >> thanks ...

>> right. right and from point of view of -- what your theoretical argument is, or your abstract idea is solving a particular problem. er somebody like trump you measure success by outcome whether this works or doesnt work. then thats not the way washington has worked. for decades -- i mean you accept the outcome of whoever has thehe power to make the decisions. because the people that are stand behind that power are those who have supposed knowledge. they migrate concern in recent years that it...

Is this the aftermath of the dloen attack? thats what they say it is. >> it looks like its just exploded and the vehicle is falling from where it was hit. theres not much else to be told there except it was -- its over the middle of the water. its interesting what the president said. and ill reiterate something we mentioned earlier. the chain of command over there looks -- in iran looks like this. the revolutionary guard reports directly to rouhani, but its a bit more convoluted than that. there...
