You spend it on the lake We always thinking I'm your dad and he and I have a shared history of keen as very young people at the lake, and we had a great huge family gathering. It was loving. Chaos.

If they have, being, they might have had a little bit more despair as they looked across the atlantic. I remember saying to the mere on monday, as we left, I wish everyone happy and safe. Fourth of July, I wish been a safer fourth of July. You know that's the new that travels across the pond again. A spate of shootings around the country fourth of July now ass, the most dangerous day in the american calendar for mass meetings and what a crazy way and terrible way that we celebrate that we should have been. You know. I wish it. It was not thus, but such ass american control at the moment baltimore here everywhere chicago texas, all around the country, a spate of mass shootings. Otherwise, it was poor with rain here in london, not much of a fourth of july, and I did not eat one single hotdog good fruit,

not even one forgets sixty two, not everyone caddy, yes, we're actually talk about those shootings area in just a moment. Another one overnight for the white house. It was a celebration yesterday of america's independence day, the barbecue concert the fireworks. The whole thing we're for a weekend at camp David president, Joe Biden addressed military members in the crowd be called the protectors of democracy. You are the sinew, the back one the reality of why we are who we are on breaky on bendy throughout our history, us that democracy is never never never guaranteed. Every generation must fight to maintain it. We must always cherish it. Defended and strengthen it. In the evening, the present switching to the role of m c to introduce tonight's me go act where he was met with some enthusiasts for his re election campaign.

money, work into your house no way now we'll just run think how music can change. Moods mosey can make us feel better. This s incredible, and I felt we as a group great entertainment here tonight No, music to my ears by twenty twenty four someone yell there from the crowd at the white house yesterday that, after president binds leading republican challenger donald trump well, he didn't hit the campaign trail on. The fourth therefore, present spent the holiday on social media, rarely against the justice department, his other perceived enemies in addition, do

I this photo of his head superimposed on george Washington's body and shit A person included the words f Joe Biden, which we ve blurred out here. Trunk call for special council jack smith to be called the funding, He also said psmith should be called put out to rest before them. Brad steel. Another election Donald trump was one of the un republican candidates, actually not out campaigning. Yesterday, Rhonda santa's, Doug bergen tim Scott will heard all made competing appeared. At the same independence day parade in merrimac new hampshire former president, my pants went to iowa, where he took part in a parade in urban day where he pitched himself as a better and to donald trump people of iowa. People of america are ready for a change. I think of different times call for differently. Ship, the republican party in america, which is absolutely determined job. Our brand of leadership comments

conservative values, with an emphasis on civility and respect the people of this day so pretty conventional fourth of July campaigning for most of the republican candidates, Donald trump posting, also media making himself into george washington, the obvious distinction there, one of many as the george washington was a soldier down trump chose not to to be one What is it say to you about the state of this republican primary that donald trump thinks I can do stay home. I can sit at my golf club and post on social media, and that works I me I don't even have to go out and do an event. I don't even have to go out and press the flesh and do the things that other people feel like they need to do to get elected in iowa and new hampshire. In my opinion, one of the saddest things, as happened in modern modern politics, is the fact that so many candidates dont think it's important. To go out and do what we call in politics, retail. It is shaking hands, looking people in the eye,

I can see them answering their questions. going away, and obviously for donald trump, he is much more common all at his very luxurious golf club with you, storms on a device tweeting- Absurdities about the sitting. President. You know it's it's interesting to me when I look at the four pictures that are on the screen. Right now, you know I guarantee you that most of america that is looking at this screen right now goes well. Who are those other two guys and that's the other thing, it's interesting about this. We are a bunch of candidates. There really have. Lately, no name recognition and they're, not I name recognition by marty in a small fourth of July parade new Hampshire. I do it now. Have to raise big money in order for anybody go well. Who is that other than say who is that? So I I right now we don't terms in a commanding position and think about that

Look. I'm party you ve got a guy who says s by you. On the fourth of July and he's your man. It is on believable so many of those second tier pumpkin candidates have issues whether even qualify for the first debate, which is just a month or so away their certain thresholds. They ve got a head on or even like right now, even Nikki haley and tim Scott, though likely will get it? It's not a sure thing, Chris Christie, as well so catty. But let's talk about the trump strategy here are there's been, our friends of access and reporting, actually noting just how few events he's actually had since becoming declared candidate. Despite his bluster about his energy and his robust schedule, that's actually not the case, but The trump team has made a calculation some this might be trumps laziness, but beyond that population will we don't need to do this? We don't need to be out there. We can parachute and have a big that have a big rally will dominate headlines for is. We can sit on truth. Social wishing a happy for you the haters and the losers out there, he might not.

Participate in that first debate because he's got such a big lead and he doesn't want to elevate the rest see that's tragic, backfiring or that actually white way to do it. For someone like him. A moment, there's no evidence that is backfiring right in pull off to pull his lead is increasing, not decreasing. So the strategy of doing the uk, no big rally in getting a ton of meat our attention, because whatever he does weather, is being indicted where there is tweet what are you tweet, soul, sending out social media posts on the fourth of July? We talk about it and he an enormous amount of attention, just through doing So, if I was his campaign out, be saying, carry on doing what you're doing- and I guess the early thing to remember is that in December, two thousand, Evan Barack Obama was twenty points behind Hillary Clinton, and there is time potentially for one of these candidates to break through? One assumes it would have to be rhonda sand is because he's the only one who has the money. And some

lange and has been consistently second in the polls. I suppose there is still time for him to break through, but I don't see any reason that the term campaign we're trying to trade strategy is given that what they're doing is working so well for them at the moment, so clear look at this from the other side. Was president Biden last night at the white house responding to the cheers of twenty twenty four he is in it. He is running a year from now. He s a full year from now will be getting ready for the democratic convention and in the home stretch, to try to win reelection in Something dramatic happens. It's donald trump to lose at this point, despite everything coming down the pike and georgia more investigation from jack smith, a return to new york for download from there's a lot of legal trouble ahead. But if you're Joe Biden at that, last night. Waking up this morning on July. Fifth, how you feeling with a year and change to go to election day, you're feeling pretty guy

the big question mark that is looming over the election. Next year's in one state the economy be this time next year. If these interests she projects all kick off across the country, Joe by we'll have a great opportunity to remain everyone. He didn't have fourteen thousand infrastructure weeks with no results. We actually is in bruges and and saving lives with highway improvements in water projects. And great projects and internet in rural areas is not alone. to talk about in. If those are kicking off, it's gonna healthy economy, stay stable true the election, I think the leaving the job and has to worry about really is if there is a belief in the economy and prices go up or there is another inflationary spike there No matter what he does he's in trouble

with Jonathan. Then we know that this is going to be a close election just because national elections are close in this country. Even if people have strong feelings about donald trump, there are a lot of people who still love them are going to be there with them or maybe think Joe Biden is too old. We see how this plays out, but we know one thing it will be very close and donald trump is gonna play the way we saw him playing yesterday. Oh yeah down others who he is, and his his campaign tactics have not changed at all from twenty. Sixteen twenty twenty two now you make a great point, twenty six and twenty twenty deceptive in terms of electoral count pop in terms also the popular vote, but the stillness. It's that matter those handful of battlegrounds. It actually decide elections. They were all they were close, twenty twenty as well, if not quite as close as sixteen, but this is ever buddy. I talk to stay both sides. I knows this is a fifty fifty country and this is going to be a pretty tight race in terms of the present in their strategy or another doing two things for the remainder of this year, first and foremost just be present. They feel like just simply be

The commander in chief is focusing on four points. Next, which is heading overseas, were getting the job danish declares point rolling out infrastructure projects that provides a clear contrast to the mass they're, seeing on the republic inside the other half that raising money. This is this. The next few months, the presidency wrapped up as raising there has been some concerns that have been a little bit sluggish. So far, they had a little trouble protecting those low dollar donors that point too Susie asthma. Those have not roll in the way the white house would like at least far, and I think that the concern as well, is that this idea of the weather, its peep voters of color or voters, who might be a little less enthusiastic about the president, this time around because of concerns of his age. Maybe it's because of things that happen it would get across the finish line like this- do definitely programme knocked down by the supreme court last week. A things on climate age or the like that. That's that's! The concern, but democrats will say look at the end of the day. Particular have done.

Trump is the republican on the other side, willie voters will turn out and they'll turn out to vote against trump as much as perhaps voting for Biden, man. Joe Biden had thus setbacks, of course, of the supreme court last week now going to use those we believe, as a political cudgel move forward and try to win back some boats, essay republicans in the people they point to the supreme court or taking away your rights. Caddy in the present yesterday. Also dealing with this state of shootings in the united states of america. Police continue now to investigate this morning. Motive behind the deadly mass shooting. First in philadelphia on Monday night officials say the gunman fired, seemingly at random, spanning several blocks. Five people were killed, ranging age from fifteen to fifty nine two children were injured. Both boys two and thirteen they remained stable at a hospital. Please

the government is a forty year old man who was wearing body armor armed with a semi automatic, a our fifteen style rifle and hand gun I'll, see at a police scanner. An additional multiple magazines of ammunition officers arrived and the scene managed to take. This aspect into custody in that case is yet to be identified publicly and has not been found, well charge philadelphia. Mayor thirds lawmakers to pass strong gun safety legislation during a news conference yesterday, I'm walking down the city street with an air of style, rife and shooting random way. People are wearing a bullet professed with with multiple magazines, a disgraceful but all common situation in america, and I was city who had the independence hall where they wrote that constitution, and the secular member was never intended to protect this.

Authorities say another man. It was taken into custody on suspicion of picking up a firearm and returning fire at the suspect has been released without charge because he likely acted in self defense. Meanwhile, free people were killed at least eight others wounded in a mass shootings in texas. That happened just minutes before the start of the independents holiday police say these shooting occurred in the fort worth neighbourhood of Como. At around eleven forty seven p m. On Monday, according investigators, it appears several men fired indiscriminately into a crowd of hundreds of people striking adults and children. No arrests have been made yet in that case, a man who is still under way in baltimore for the suspect or suspects behind a deadly shooting there over the holiday weaken the gun. Fire broke out, followed block party on Sunday night, two people were killed and A twenty year old man and an eighteen year old woman identified as ideology and zealous her family spoke to reporters yesterday. It was amazing, so big

star is so bright In addition to a leah guns, Alice twenty eight other people were injured in the shooting, including fifteen minors, the youngest thirteen years old authorities asking for the public's, helped any information. social media videos taken moments before the shooting started, the additional tracking down those responsible police officer there concerned about preparing for possible retaliation in this case, so catty k eu you raised at it half seems to happen in the summer. Time seems to happen on the fourth of July. Unfortunately, but the truth is, it happens all the time in this country, and you have to say here that after the fourth of july and just read a litany.

mass shootings of gun violence in this country, some of them with hand guns with another motive in all of them. One of them, at least within our fifth, in style weapon with a man who was wearing body armor. This is a story we ve seen way too many times and is low it down with ammunition, only stopped because the police intervened yeah listen tat little boy whose just lost his big sister, it kind of it still. every single time. It makes you tear up when you hear these stories because it so unnecessary. It is a choice that america's making. It is america's exceptional problem right. It does happen anywhere else in the world to the same degree and- and we have read late, at other things, America's regulated seat belts in cars, which mean that the number of children being killed in car accidents now is weighed down below the number of people being killed in ghana and so weak. The american public, is on the side of doing something about this once more gun control, but the old

of american government are failing public opinion. failing the american people. They are not representing what democracy once people want something to be done about this, but there is inaction in government more people are getting killed in a way that just doesn't happen anywhere else we need to be happening. Things are member countries of fixed this year without qualms and we ve got reports from the ground for an update on some of these shootings, including from somewhere, where again, eighteen year old, only against Alice. That was her family that you heard speaking there will get to that just a little bit later. Meanwhile, the? U S, government is in contact now with russia to discuss potential prisoner swaps. That's according to a kremlin spokesmen. Yesterday, coming just one day after the: u S, ambassador russia visited detained wall street journal report. Avengers goes the general ports quota state department. Spokesperson, declined on tuesday to go in tail on the cooperation process, setting the continuing work to secure the

these, of course, commission Paul wailing. Course is another american considered wrongfully detained in russia goes kvetch was detained in russia in march, while on a reporting trip, he was accused of spying, which he in the u s, government and the wall street journal. Adamantly deny Whelan has been held in russia since two thousand and eighteen was bringing the former supreme allied commander of NATO retired four star navy, admiral james stavridis, his chief international analyst for NBC news? Admiral is great to see you so tickets inside. If you can what may be happening back channels behind the scenes, direct diplomacy between the united states and russia to try secure their release these two americans and others by the way think of the memoir by my good friend current director, the c I a bill birds. He called it. The back channel in it makes a point which is that

A lot of diplomacy is actually done best away from the glare of publicity and certainly hostage exchanges fall into that category, so point one this correctly to be done without an enormous amount of media speculation about it. Point too, is think there's a real chance here, Russia has A number of goals and in the form of individuals in prisons, by in the united states- and this is key willie and in the press of some of our allies, because we have given away some of their high value prisoners to damn, like victor boot. So we may have to broaden the quid pro quo to convince an ally to let somebody gone this case and then Finally, it shows can at least

have a conversation with the russian federation. That is not part of the war in ukraine and it's important that we do so not only a prisoner exchange is like this, but, for example, on nuclear arms control and other things that are in the interests of both countries. Does Ukrainian green deal is another example of putting things off of the new russia, ukraine, track. So on hopeful. Let's keep it quiet and let's be cream, given what we and our negotiating with the russian federation here yet animal to appoint the wider sir, stay quiet on this or though saying that they do want proceed with caution this. Sure thing to getting a deal done here. In the previously there had some trouble convincing allies, germany among them to provide nor to russia that they were interested in suburban and put us context for us, as this is happening, is word of of of maybe these talks and on comes at a precarious moment, perhaps for putin or at least to

a dynamic. One will coming just two weeks now offer the vulgar aborted, mutiny, just about how you see him navigating this year, the prisoners Bob yes, but also try to figure out what to do with bognor trying to decide if progress. and I should be able to remain in belarus real warnings from the ukrainians in recent days that the russians might be trying something that separates a nuclear power plant. Just give us your thirty thousand foot view of just where things are right. Now yeah, good news in the middle of a course called dictator one or one in taylor. One or one is of course, where you learn that you can be weakened by those, often the closest to you you can be stab in the back. He's right wing categorizes it in that way? That's good news for the west and if he were a stock I'd say Putin has lost about thirty purse and of his value. Jonathan he's not

ro keys, not a penny stock, he's not being given away, but he is and so what does he do? He rounds up the usual suspects. If you will use this opportunity to take out anybody who he sees as a threat. He strengthens the physical protections around moscow, the brigades? tackling moscow are taking me. Sources away from the war in ukraine? That's a good thing, but he will do everything you can to strengthen its position to the house stage discussion. He will look at that. As a way to demonstrate the world that he still has washed up, he's still power. He gave speech to the shanghai cooperation organisation, his group of allies, partners and friends over the weekend in which he tried, to convince them She remains on top of this game. He'll do everything you can to try and do that not all

for the russian population, but I think more importantly, for him with us larger world that still kind of swinging we in the west and russia by the way a russian investigative journalist human rights lawyer were beaten as they went into court. Yes, in chechnya. Perhaps a signal being sent there as well to your point. Admiral stay with us want to get your take on the latest from the middle east amid renewed violence between Israel and the palestinians, their plus, with iran, building drones for russia, china having us I base in cuba. Our necks gas asked the question: as foes joining forces that conversation with peter binary. That's, conversely,

and he's writing about in the new york times today. He joins us next monday. Job here aren't. I must then be saying we are saying its habits. Several fast moving stories to these news requires more facts. A new report finds the climate crisis is getting much worse, more context. We are seeing record numbers of people crossing into the united states just in the southern border and more ground covered the mission, will continue to carry out regime change in the Gaza strip, the world's never even harder to understand. That's why it's

even more important to try MSNBC understand more time miss and for me the news is so much more than I have mine. It informs spires and it still matters the covering you have to begin. It will take you to the front lines of the store or its actually have with NBC news journalists on the ground from all over the world. We cover what you need to know and bring your news feed to live in prime time and streaming live. It's your news. Playlist join me for top scored, weeknights at seven eastern on NBC news, Israel says it has intercepted five rockets fired from the Gaza strip, is just hours after Israel wrapped up a two day, large scale military raid in the west bank city of janine, the latest in Gaza is raising, fears of collation of tit for tat violence? Let's bring NBC news foreign correspondent, mad bradley. He is live in geneva in the west bank,

Now? What are you seeing there today yeah. Really will oversee here today is a lot different from what we are seeing last night in this very square. We saw intense and focused violence right here for hours, as on end, and today, it's kind of back to normal to what that is in there's no such thing as normality here a day after what saw last night, Seeing yourselves in our report that layered on nightly news last night here it is. For palestinian militants. This was payback this Pretty video shows a twenty year old palestinian ramming pedestrians with his car. He then gets out and tries to stab several people before an armed civilian shoots. Him dead. The palestinian militants group Hamas claimed and praise this rare attack in TEL Aviv and injured nine people.

An initial response to an israeli attack on the west bank city of gene, where Israel has launched it's largest military operation in the west bank in two decades, killing at least twelve people and pushing thousands more to flee what palestinians are fighting back with rocks cocktails, smaller one issue, the stamina uses, the israelis are firing missiles using armoured cars and live ammunition, throwing everything they have During our interview, israeli forces unexpectedly pushed toward our position to clear the area. Israelis are coming in with their armored vehicles in front of an armored bulldozer. The city now shrouded in smoke from burning fires and plumes of tear gas fired by rallies. Israel's operation here is aimed at clearing one, a palestinian refugee camp, for what is really official.

here say, is a persistent military threat, but its whores israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is concerned this massive to day It has been a success, the agreement we are completing the mission Israel's prime minister said this is one time operation will continue to uproot terrorism, so We can see willy all of that took place right here just several hours ago, last night and now folks, here they are picking up the pieces, they're cleaning the streets repairing their windows, but given the weight of the tension in this, Unity in this broader country, among palestine and israelis that tension that violence could return. at any time, really extraordinary, poor member

please be safe. There. That's NBC news foreign correspondent, Matt bradley met thanks. So much james to readers is still with us. For this conversation in joining us as well is peter binary, professor of journalism, political scientist, the new mark school of journalism at the city university of new york, Peter good morning to you I'll start with you. What do you make of what you ve seen lately this latest in vienna generations of escalating violence here? The fundamental problem is that palestinians lack the most basic rights. This is a country Israel. Now that has been called an apartheid state by its own leading human rights organisations and by the leading human rights organisations in the world. Human rights watch an amnesty, they give. It holds millions of people without the most basic rights, the right to be a citizen in the country in which they live the right to vote for the gun. The controls their lives and when people desperate, like that they will take desperate measures,

oral, violent measures, but desperate measures, because they see no hope and unless there is hope that people can have the basic rights that we take for granted. This violence will continue. That model time? There is some Violence like this, of course you have a whole load of young people watching at me. You don't know the long term impact of what this kind of violence on them. We ve seen an expansion of settlements in the west bank. Over the course of the last year, we ve seen Netanyahu facing political problems, legal problems of his own. How much does that play in to what is happening at the moment has been halved, this week in Geneva, and what what can the united states do what kind of leverage does the Biden administration still have about two years First point: the accidental terrorists, the accidental guerrilla. This is a well known theory of how these uprising perpetual and you're absolutely right, caddy to put a finger on it, is a self perpetuating cycle

of violence, in terms of what happened here at this time. but because this is the largest set of incursions by the israelis in twenty years, when I was NATO commander, I was also in charge of u S. Israeli military engage anne and spend a lot of time studying this, and the israelis often use low level kinds of incursions this was not that this is a very significant sweet. into a highly sensitive part of the west bank and to you point again. I agree. Part of this is Netanyahu, and his domestic problem once he knows these kind of act. play very well with the right side of his coalition, which he needs to stay power, or so I don't think, you're going to see a sudden pull back from this. This is now

knowing the lawn and expression these railways use about repetitive incursions. This was a very signals. and operation last point about the who s does not have a lot of cards to play here? Real significance were very close to Israel, obviously, but The israelis spheres, independent minded in dealing with this issue. They will go their own way here. Can you spoke a bigger you speak a little bit about what. is going on in the larger context of the middle EAST. In the arab nations. It visas, why Netanyahu is doing in these palestinian refugee camps near we ve seen some efforts. Fine saudi and by you. I e try really met together, what is as close to Peace is we ve, seen in the Middle east, is seen

if this would really set this back. What is what do you sense? The reaction is going to be in the rest of the arab world to Netanyahu doing this for his own political purposes. Yes, and if I could just respectfully disagree with the idea that the? U S has no cards to play. We fund this, we give the israelis three point billion dollars in verse centrally conditional military aid a year we protect israel at the donations from any meaningful condemnation. We protect Israel from international from prosecution of the international crime the court and so the. U S has a tremendous amount of leverage here it just to buy them. duration has chosen not to do it to protect palestinian rights. I do think that this will the momentum towards normalization with saudi array but in the longer term, even if Israel does get what it wants

just normalization with saudi arabia. Israel's problem is not with the saudis gets with its own palestinians, it controls and denies basic human rights. It is martin luther king, told americans again and again and again when you hold people under a system of unjust oppressive. Violence, they will respond with violence and everyone will suffer so peter. You ve also got a new peace in the new york times, suggesting that america, you're joining forces. You highlight a few examples that iran is manufacturing, drones, russia for their war effort. She was operating aid by base china's operate, I in cuba, and even over the weekend we have this virtual summit between Putin, she and Modi, in which Neither motor xiv endorsed pollutants, be a war for power. They didn't exactly condemn me there and it is still a lot of warm warm words as we used to hearing from them towards him. So What how do we get here and what? Where do? We think this happen

is this age, simply a global rejection from a huge, a significant portion of the globe. Objection of american influence in values. My point is Surely that, ironically america made this happen, that this growing alliance, this alliance between china and Cuba, with china now having a spy base in cuba and with russia and iran with iran. Building drones for russia didn't come about by accident. It partly about because the? U s spurned the efforts by cuba and IRAN to have better relations with us They wanted better relations with us when obama open to cuba. Cuba was very strongly wanting closer economic ties to the united states and to europe and trump came in, and twenty nineteen imposed tougher sanctions the? U s had ever put on cuba that economy into chaos and made a desperate for chinese money for which these traded this spy. They

The iranians within the iranian nuclear deal also wanted better relations with the. U s, not because they love us not because they want to become a democracy, but because they wanted western investment. Trump came in scrap the deal, host, even tougher sanctions and the? U s lost any leverage it might have had over the? U of iranian russia relationship Admiral, what's your sense of this china, cuba iran, you could add a few other countries too, that matrix of threats and adversaries of the united states in the way they may be working together and joining forces, as Peter puts it. I think it's real certain away on real in different ways in different capitals, and I think one way to think of this from the chinese perspective. Is they no worst at russia, which

failing as a state. In so many different ways. It's got a huge vast land area, rush to the east to the euro mounds. It's the size of the continental united states, its base legally empty too. Maybe twenty five million people live there, but what is their oil gas? timber, freshwater, arable land, gold, diamonds, wearers it lol, it's really good it looks to the chinese the way a rib. I state looks to my dog. china, will try and make russia very junior partner in there. Organization of now actions? If you well that we saw represented at the shanghai collapse, The organization of Saint Peter is correct. focus on. We need be self aware and in particular india is where, in my view, we ve still got some trade space. I think it's unlikely. We're gonna, convinced trying to change course unlikely convince russia

it changed course. Certainly, IRAN, maybe over time, but The main ball here diplomatically for the united states is india. We can still work with india, thinking positive ways again if we are self aware of how we operate in the large world. Last thought we should under state the immense power of america's alive. and says around the world. Yes, we, finally The few who stand against us look at NATO Thirty two nations just about sweden, will join shortly, fifty five percent of the world's gdp, throw in japan, south korea, australia. We glittering array of alliances I want. our hand, a card chewing

and we see Simone sanders towns and Michael steel, and we see him in their desks as they team up to host the weekend. We want to get the newspapers, the people that are in the middle of what is happening about the conversation. A lot of americans check out of conversations. We want to check them in conversation, we begin and that you continue all week long weekend. Saturday, Sundays at eight am eastern on MSNBC. This is our melbourne, we're living through an unprecedented moment in history for president trump facing criminal indictments and trials and an podcast ruskin donald trump veteran prosecutors Andrew S, with a merry mccord break down the charges.

The secret service is now reviewing camera footage. An entrance logs to see who had access to the space where the suspected drugs were found. Aware of this we now see investigation could be difficult because no knows how long that bag actually was there, and so many people walk through the area every day the white house so far has declined to comment. John. This was a headline grab a lot of people's attention. Yesterday. Do we know anything else about it, well. We know the near kosis handling it with his usual subtlety, snow right house I knew that you could certainly imagine who they are insinuating. It belongs to, and we don't know much this didn't puzzle some folks that I talked to over the weekend about it and it is an area.

If you have been appointed to see anybody in the western, not the president you'd come there in prague, wait in the waiting room and it's not clear how long the that the bag with suspected claim has been there Surely no idea who belongs to they are going Investigate this certainly ground the signature the tension, anything that requires a slight and vacuum Even a brief evaluation is a big deal that the answers we simply don't know yet and it may be, as you just noted it- maybe some time before we do learn who belong to may not at all the president was camp David. we can when this happens, or he was not impact, but certainly as we learn more while keeping those seeking

tourists looking into it as we speak coming up. Next, thirty million americans are at risk of severe storms today. That means big delays at the airports, I'm afraid to say we'll have more on that.

even lindsay down here. Sen, Lindsey graham, would love to get back to the way I gotta love the now tat. I have but one need. Some of those illiberal votes is always there to help began on how we got some pretty liberal paper, but he's good haze is he's there, is there when you need them away today, I'm gonna get him straight. No, south carolina, senator lindsey, graham in his home, state booed mercilessly over the weekend by a crowd of republicans, would Donald trump they're doing very little to defend him and said goading supporters into booing senator gram. Even more clear

almost hard to watch at this point to man who just subjects himself again and again and again to this humiliation and to defend donald trump and that's what he gets in return for member. He went out for a brief moment on January six and said I'm done with Donald trump bumps. And people at the airport in washington, column, traders, and he immediately. Flips he's been on tv in the last few months, literally weeping for people to give money. Donald trump campaign- and this is what gets in return, it's you know the man you worked alongside him. It's humiliation is seems, like an understatement, don't think humiliation is a strong enough word- and everybody needs to keep the context. Hear me this his home town- He lives- and this is a small town- lives fifteen miles away too, and this is not suppose: we his people now one

Yourself like a leech to this this man, I would say to backside of this man and it is just and beyond and distressing, and if, if it wasn't lindsays all, but it is not so I can't feel sorry for him. But he doesn't appear ready or willing or capable of correcting this problem, its heart, imagine him leaving donald trump at this point but, as you say, thousand pickin south carolina not far from lindsey grams hometown in his home state, as does clare says that should be his crowd and going on tv and literally weeping for donald trump is not even not fair.
