The country. by day, what do i do? i answer the telephone, and the people who are calling me to talk about issues are scattered all across the country. its not so clear to me that this has really resonated yet with americans all across the nation. so i know its a hot subject for us, i know its hot on the eastern seaboard and the northeast among the cable outlets and so forth, but in the rest of the country, i think people are focused on jobs, health care and the economy. so to the extent hes abl...

Everybody. thats what "new york times" v. sullivan held up. its about time that case gets revisited. in the hands of a 16-year-old who was dealt the worst type of journalist coverage, the worst type of negativity, malice. why? because he was wearing a maga hat. this is all part of the trump derangement syndrome. >> sean: its a trigger. >> i always try to be fair. im more fair -- >> sean: you love your country. >> -- and most of the cable outlets out there because im willing to see things from bo...

To you? >> youve got to think about congressman king as the jeff sessions of western iowa. this was someone who has had a hardline position on immigration, on cultural issues, really on the right wing of the right wing of the republican party for over a decade. why does he have this kind of national profile with someone who espouses these sorts of views? its because of iowa being the caucus state and people like senator ted cruz last time have really sought out his endorsement, his support, and ...
