it comes down to we don t know what we believe in and don t know what we want. couple that with the track record of the fact of democracy promotion in the middle east is suspicious as well. whenever the u.s. tries to do something that the good. we talked about this with programs and channels like that were launched in the middle east, a channel designed to put out this pro-american content so to speak, but it doesn t resinate with that part of the world. we have our brand, america s brand has been tarnished. it s a tougher sell, so to speak. we re just not that good at our propaganda efforts apparently. and i don t know if that s necessarily a bad thing. i think it s good that american culture and american art resinates far more than anything that we re disseminating by the u.s. government.
welcome back to new day. you just watched part one of my interview with presidential hopeful, chris christie. we touched on poll numbers and the bridgegate controversy. let s talk about that with our political panel. they are going to break down hillary clinton and donald trump. clinton s first town hall. you have a lot of stuff to talk about. brianna, i don t know if you just saw the chris christie interview that i did. what do you think of his contention the bad poll numbers have nothing to do with bridgegate because it doesn t resinate nationally? i think that is something that does resinate nationally.
