Very subtle ways and treat it like a chess game. hes taken that lesson to heart throughout his career, and he is brilliant at playing with the pieces on the board and he played with donald trump so cleverly in so many ways and played with american social media. the question thats fascinating right now, and we just dont know the answer to yet, is how is he going to respond to the fact hes now dealing with president biden and hes dealing with an american media world thats very polarized, where the...

America. that remains to be determined. >> last quick word to you. >> studying how the soviet kgb system used cultural of different countries to turn itself into a weapon against them, looking particularly at the islamic world. the russian regimes genius has been to take american culture and turn it as a weapon against america. >> they weaponized ourselves, yes. >> that is absolutely what has happened and what president biden now needs to try to deal with. >> you didnt do the second part of that...

That beach in cornwall, but its symbolizing the fact that theres an attempt to reset the g7, not just in terms of american leadership but around a different set of values from what we saw 10, 15 years ago. they called this the cornwall success. its against a backlash against globalization and democracy. president biden made it clear hes trying to fight for democracy in the face over an uncertain china and this backlash and buzzwords like inclusion and resilience are the theme of the day, which w...

Machine led by fox and others, and they need to attack democrats for something, but they cant lay a glove on joe biden because he seems so innocuous and likable, so theyre looking on somebody else in the democratic party to beat up. vice president harris as a woman of color is a prime target. maybe one good reason she hasnt visited, shes not in charge of the border, not the secretary of homeland security. her remit from president biden is to deal with the central american states and to try to ge...

Unpopularity with democrats and independents, he might even win the presidency again, particularly if his opponent is not president biden, a blue collar white guy, but vice president harris, a woman of color who is a perfect target for his racist and sexist taunts. please dont make the same mistake we made back then of assuming he is not a viable candidate for the presidency. his ability to hornswoggle tens of millions of voters is no laughing matter. thats max boot writing in "the washington po...

Theories, max boot writes, former presidents secret weapon is that ordinary people have always had trouble taking him seriously. but we make a grave mistake if he dismiss him as a punchline. weve committed that blunder before. don, i have another quote for you. this is charlie sykes wrote this for this network. trumps embrace of the story shows how the rights doom loop of craziness works. its impossible to know whether trump genuinely believes he can move back into the white house this summer. b...
