On display and how many conservatives walk away from him before that calculus changes? i dont know if were there yet, but hes testing the proposition. >> he certainly is. and you wonder if they support yanking away the salary of dr. simon because she wants to protect the children in the school. the senate passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill and plus a warning about the possible collapse of afghanistans capital now. the late on the talibans ongoing takeover. a notable moment last night....

About not wanting an implosion or civil war within afghanistan, and are capable of bringing some pressure on the taliban to at least take part in talks. itll be very hard to make that stick until they run out of steam. its rational then, nesrine, for whatever criticism there might be from washington and other countries for neighbours like pakistan, like turkmenistan, like iran to make nice with the taliban if they think theyll be running the country in a few months time? yes, the political calcu...

That regards too. a lot of the democrats are worried about how narrow the margins are. someone all of a sudden is hospitalized for an extended period of time because they take ill, the entire calculus changes. theres a sense of urgency too. >> philip bump of "the washington post," thanks very much. we mentioned that critics of the two plans say that neither of them does enough on climate change. lets continue now with one such critic. jamal raad is the co-founder of evergreen action, the group...

Ask you as a quick follow-up to that is the calculus you give examples of other parts of the country and the military, whether the calculus changes and how the police would pursue a situation like this urban versus rural. >> absolutely. you have a better line of vision in rural cities than you do in a metropolis. in new york city the nypd, we have a camera network upward of 20,000 cameras that allow us whats going on in the last 8 years in new york city. but when we look at a rural place like od...

And the calculus changes politically. substantively. it changes altogether. so i am not entirely sure how she does that, but the politics are quickly moving. and she is leaning on a series of court cases. we dont know when theyll wrap up. she doesnt know when theyll wrap up, but i imagine some of them will take some period of time. >> chuck rosenberg, you have, obviously, worked with robert mueller. youve been a careful student of this throughout the entire process. there were so many clues in t...

A red state. does that put him as a credible candidate as well? >> he is credible, and governors, we have seen that in the pipeline in recent american political history. hes saying not only did he win in a red state, but he won in the same day that trump won montana by 20 points. hes making his first trim to iowa. hes not shy and neither is his campaign about saying its iowa or bust for them. they have to make something happen to show hes a credible contender. i think youll see him plant himself...

Sitting here right now. >> 595 days. >> 595 days, thank you. how quickly all of that can change in politics. we saw it in 2016 on the road. yeah, things are looking a lot tougher. i think if you are thinking about this through the lens of a possible republican primary or how the republican party thinks about this, it was a better question of if they were better with him or without him. right now the republicans are making the judgment they cant win without him, the base is still with him. and th...

I think republicans are losing faith that the president has a winning political instinct here. if theres anything we know about politicians, its that they respond to their perceived political incentives. if they start to feel like being with trump is politically dangerous for them, for now they still feel like its politically necessary because their base still supports the president much more strongly than it supports republicans in congress. theyve repeatedly chosen him over the traditional rep...

Without the danger -- >> hes still president. >> hes still president, but you started to see a little bit with the saudi arabia thing, with lindsey graham, theyre starting to peek out a little bit and speak up. i think you will see more and more of that. i dont think the big bad wolf seems as bad anymore. >> the political calculus for the republicans in the senate is that a lot of the senate races that were run by republicans because they aligned themselves with the president. you see lindsey gr...

Our differences peacefully. in the end we must recognize that we are all americans and we are stronger and healthier when we are united. >> now, i know that a lot of you guys are going to process this tivoli, like what do i care about nikki haley -- heres why this matters. one, she could be somebody who runs for president of the united states. i dont think it would happen against donald trump. that would take a lot of chutzpah to run in party, especially this next time, assuming that the preside...
