Attention. let me read it and well talk about it on the other side. ron brounstein said this, no matter how hard conservative columnists and commentators try to obscure it, the evidence keeps mounting trumps movement infused in racism and authoritarianism is the dominant gop faction too big for almost any party skeptics to openly oppose. i think its time to abandon any pretense that everyone other than kinzinger and cheney isnt now complicit in what is revealed. i think a pivot is required now. ...

Authorized under a republican administration, and its been distributed and administered under a democratic administration. the vaccines are safe, highly effective. theres nothing political about them. look at all the people who took a shot at it. later we learned a lot of them were already vaccinated from the start. i have to compliment republican senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. he hadnt made it political. hes encouraged people to get vaccinated, and he continues to do so. his state is i...

This, a phenomenal place to be for your first olympics. so not quite the glory days coming back, but hopeful signs we could do well. i keep hearing all the commentators saying it is a fast track, what does that mean? i perhaps rather foolishly assumed that they are all made the same, is that not the case? not quite, i could give you a masterclass on how they are put together, but basically, it is often together, but basically, it is often to do with the rubber surface and the type of surface, di...

And i think that is what everyone is watching right now. were also still waiting on legislative text, what is actually in this bill. we have summaries, we have some documents laying out some of this spending but we do not have legislative text. and that is important. because some republicans are arguing that they want to make sure they see that before they move forward with this process. obviously theyre already beginning this process but senator moran who was part of the bipartisan group, hes a...

Suddenly facing mental health issues. i think they have always been there. they have been dismissed as a different physical injury which the fans and the media and coaches might accept far more easily than a mental health issue. there is still a good amount of stigma surrounding it in sports. i left sports a couple of years ago, and i have been employed ever since, and all of my employers have taken a very vested interest in making sure that my well—being is top—notch. thats not always the c...

Do you have to be to say im not well enough to do this? incredibly tough. i think its the pinnacle of mental toughness. michael phelps, im so glad you played that clip from him, michael phelps told us he thinks this focus on mental health will save lives. save lives. >> thats right. he thinks that naomi osaka saved her own life by speaking out. truly, youre listening to michael phelps, we heard one of those commentators say theres a double standard for lebron james. maybe he has one. i certainly...
