Up next Lawrence Odonnell talks about his book playing with fire. And the transformation of american politics, which recalls the turmoil of the 1968 president ial election. We recorded this in washington to d. C. In 2017. This 1968 election, was the first when i was alert for. I was in high school, i remember zero of the 1964 election, just the one right before that. And i remember just flashes of 1960, because it was a giant deal for Irish Catholic boys in boston. And one of us was on his way to winning it. And its hard to believe this now, but in those days we lived under a certain kind of, old ghetto culture notion that it could not happen. That they could not elect a catholic president of the United States.

The vietnam war is raging, we had an incumbent president Lyndon Johnson who had been elected four years ago in a landslide who was on the way to an easy reelection again. He was very likely to be facing some of very good at losing president ial elections. Richard nixon, who had the distinction in history at the beginning of 1968, of being the very first Vice President in history to lose a president ial campaign. He then made Hubert Humphrey the second 1968. As the year began, it was back in that ancient america where if someone said, i democrat o
Just understands the chinese have flooded now. No he is without slogans, without politics, just about trade and money and he understands very clearly why there is such a difference in approaches, what is happening in ukraine and the middle east and africa are no longer regional conflicts, and Ksenia Nekrasova tried to understand the big repartition if at the same time, american politicians continue to declare war on china with taiwan , which is why they do not hesitate to put the inevitability, because, while both sides of the strait are clearly paused, time is clearly playing on the axis, while the americans are discussing weapons and the military blocks he plays for money. And when his destroyer approaches, dangerously close to the americans. This is almost a translation of the warning from chinese into the language of the opponent and the chinese minister of defense. At the summit in singapore, he explains for those who do not understand once again how we sing for friends. We have g
