close presidential election where their president lost, our president lost the popular vote. that doesn t mean he shouldn t be president. but it should be an indication to keep these judicial nominations somewhere to the right of center, not way off in cloud cuckoo land on the far right. they re not doing that. they re trying to make they want to expand the courts and have a takeover by judges who will be on the bench for the rest of their lives, this is the most important, most long-lasting impact of this administration. is it just going too fast? i mean again, 12 appointments thus far, versus president obama had three. i would say this is an incredible civics lesson for everyone who says our government doesn t work. this is advise and consent in real-time. like jonathan said, god bless senator kennedy. he s a great man, very understated. a man of principle, a man of his word. he stands up to whoever he thinks is right or wrong. even those in his own party.
it doesn t excuse what happened or mean it still doesn t hurt in this society and it certainly doesn t mean he shouldn t he should be a victim of this, but there s so much denial out there and during the election we heard so much denial about racism. everyone s crying about racism and you should be happy to be in america and on and on and on. you have this happening to lebron. mark, go ahead what do you think of that? my concern, don, there s no question ben s right. there have always been and always will be racist idiots and haters. my concern over the past several months is we seem to now have an environment where it is spurring more of this, that all of a sudden hatred and the active hatred is much more acceptable whether it was from trump talking about mexicans being all rapists or the way you know grabbing women by the crotch. the problem that i see over the past several months is that the
the russian investigation. mainstream media whipping things up into a frenzy. non-stop headlines like the ones you see on your screen here. somebody has been reading that for a while now. howard kurtz host of media buzz. howie, good morning to you on this tuesday. you ve got a piece out there now i just want to pull the last paragraph from your story. here it is. whatever the media and political grudges against kushner it doesn t mean he shouldn t be treated fairly. there has been so much saturation coverage of jared kushner that a casual consumer of news could get the impression that he is under investigation and that is just not the case. end quote. why did you write that, howard? jared kushner is neither a subject or a target of this f.b.i. investigation but very much a target for the media. of course the f.b.i. wants to talk to him given his role in the white house and the contacts he had with the russian ambassador. but that would just be the f.b.i. doing its job. i think that w
it is out there. what should the message be? you have to do something. i think boehner thinks going for impeachment looks extreme at this point. they re going something they can litigate, very seriously legal overreaches by this administration with executive order, bordering on lawlessness. you have to, i appreciate them willing to do it. they just can t overreach. kirsten, what do you think of as democrat what when you hear the president seay, well, sue me? i think that first of all i have to say the republicans were not interested in working with obama. this is sort of fantasy alternate unveries where they were interested working with him. that doesn t mean he shouldn t try harder to work with him, i think he did try somewhat. they had very clear strategy from the beginning they were not going to work with him and make things difficult for him. that said, i in my column said i m reluctant supporter, unlikely supporter of this lawsuit because the president s solution to that i
for those several hundred residents down there and for law enforcement and fire officials and rescue personnel all over the state this has, this tropical storm has just been frustrating for its relentless persistence. we have had 16-hour days, and it has been crazy. myself and the fire chief, we re just wore out. reporter: and this morning president obama called florida governor rick scott assuring him that the state of florida will have no unmet needs over the next few days whatever does happen. back to you. jenna: phil, thank you very much and thank you to your cameraman as well who s keeping that lens dry for us. it s quite a reminder, it doesn t have to be a hurricane to cause a lot of damage out there. it s been a history-making atlantic storm season, and we re still in june. 2012 this year breaking the record for the most named storms so early. debby is the fourth named storm this season. in an average year, a regular year, the fourth named storm
