Im for a nuclear freeze. and it played a role, a nontrivial role in helping to change the policy context in which ronald reagan changed and became a devotee of nuclear arms controlled. and im kind of thinking about the green new deal in a similar way. there wasnt fox news back then and you have this persistent drum beat, but i do think that -- >> you obviously have a very long career in public life. and when you were a senator and presidential candidate and even when you joined the ticket as vic...

There. >> on the issue of spending money, donating money to the inauguration with the expectation that youll be treated favorably by the government in some policy context in terms of some type of favor, thats the open secret about inaugural donations anyway. most people dont give to an inauguration out of the goodness of their heart. most people do that, rich people, corporations, because they want to curry some abstract favor. your investigation is looking at acute allegations of real quid pro ...
