he doesn t go so far as to label the moderates democrats, but he does say they are doing well and they are establishment republicans. he has for whatever reason chosen to surround himself with a number of establishment republicans who i don t think really understand trumpism, don t understand the larger currents that got him elected. and we are back for the political panel. betsy woodruff, david horsey. also charlie pierce. writer at large for esquire magazine. what do you make of this and roger stone giving some support to the theory out there that there is some ground being lost? yeah, this is the whole thing is like somebody took the script for game of thrones and mixed in a few pages from monty python and the holy grail. i m finished trying to figure out the ins and outs. look, all white houses are crazy in their own way. but this one is you don t
mixed in a few pages from monty python and the holy grail. i m finished trying to fige out the ins and outs. look, all white houses are crazy in their own way. but this one is you don t know from one minute to another whether or not the presidency is a slave to the brand or the other way around. well, and betsy, it also goes to who is trusted in a system where there isn t a clear ideology. roger there talking about, quote, trumpism. but unlike goldwater or reagan, i don t know that there is a ton of policy content undergirding it. so what else is it about if not relationships? that s certainly a good question. and i think the major plates have been jettisoned with a few key exceptions. the fact that trump has made so much warm overtures to the president of china, the fact that he won t be labeling china a currency manipulator, even though that was one of his core campaign promises. that was a definitive issue for
battery and tire. michigan arson suspected at a golf course in oakland s township. they believe flames were intentionally set to a maintenance building and golf karts. maintenance video was released to the police. tksexas texas, a million dollar mansion is sinking. it s slowly eroading due to land slides and more. and the cast of monty python and the holy grail to mark 40 years since the classic comedy was released. they spent the night laughing at themselves. we re going to be dead soon and that means you can t take anything seriously.
how could you not love monty python and the holy grail, the group reuniting for the first time in more than 30 years. max foster is live in london where the cast just announced the date of the next performance, berman is already over there trying to book a flight. what are they planning? are you excited? yes, i am excited. i mean these are sort of legends in britain, and around the world. they define britishness, that weird sense of humor we have. it sort of translates. they haven t been on stage now for 30 years, and they re all in their 70s. they had a combined age of more than 300 they pointed out. it was a fun press conference. it s interesting, i have spoken to all of them since and they are nervous, nol really sure who watches or why they watch. they said all we did was a few sketches and came together eventually to turn them into some films so they don t really know what they re doing, but it was fun and organizing basically
and they ve been just running far away from them. it seems completely noncredible. eric, is there anything that a conservative appealing to the tea party can say about government service, exempting the military, that will win over any folks or is it just that you can t run on your record because people in this base of the party are so anti-government? that s right. they ve created this base. they box themselves in into a situation where they created a dynamic where they re appealing to that sliver of the party in a way that says all government is bad. that makes it impossible not only to run but to govern. if they get elected they won t be able to do the things they need to in order to make this country work. i want to read one quote from the romney campaign that s just out today that if you haven t heard this, it s a good one. to the a.p., the romney aides are likening santorum continuing to fight as basically like the black knight in monty python and the holy grail, loses his
