krzysztof bosak from the confederation party. of us are even we canl say traditionalists, . so we do not support such legislation. in fact, we don't support all this lgbt agenda. - we believe that it's a part- of a left...left—wing programme, a part of so—called - progressivism or wokeism, and we reject all that stuff. we believe that everyl citizen should be safe, should be secured by the state i institutions, every citizen should have the same rights and freedom. but under polish constitution, it's completely clear- that the marriage is a union of men and women. - of course, leftists try to revert - or subvert this constitutional norm. this is what they always do. but, in my opinion, it's false. we support safety for everybody, i but also we don't want any hate i speech law because we know that it is restricting - freedom of speech and it| means leftist censorship. thank you very much indeed, krzysztof, thank you. look, i want to hear from the audience, if i could. i know there's a wide range of views here. i'm going to start w

krzysztof bosak from the confederation party.t, i'm also rather pessimistic. because we can see that poland did everything, and even maybe more than our country was possible to do. and other western nations did less, in my opinion. the level of support from united states was too small and too slow. so, we have, in my opinion, unfortunately, the possibility that it will become another frozen conflict. and if this war will be without any clear result, especially bad result for russia, it is possible that russia will start something new and will challenge nato countries very seriously. thank you very much indeed. magdalena biejat from the left—wing razem party? well, this is probably the first moment during the debate that you've heard all of us agree. it is so important that we restore our good relations with the eu countries, that we restore good relations with our neighbours, not only the ones from eastern europe, but also the ones from the baltic sea region, because this is where our geopolitical interests are very aligned. but,

pertmer, who is the head of the branch of the lublin confederation party, i can say that he really isand today, according to our information, the machines work on the russian market, including, but the main thing is that the confederation party is officially in favor of leaving poland from the eu, against ukraine's accession to the eu, is a frankly pro-russian party and frankly against it, it is against ukraine, so it should also be taken into account that this is the time chosen for such strikes. and i think that only agreements, i think that agreements should be at the negotiation table, and not at the border, on the one hand, on the other hand, the farmers clearly say that while they are at the border, they hope that they will be listened to the government of poland and its european leadership of the european union, in order to change some requirements, with on the other hand, the polish economy is losing from this. the ukrainian economy is in jeopardy, given that we are a warring state today, you can understand who will benefit from this, and as for tomorrow, they promise a comple

party.political force that advocates poland’s exit from the eu and campaigns for improved relations with russian federation. incredibly, of course, in continuation of this theme, lightning. european commission. calls on kiev to enter into the position of european farmers to begin exporting ukrainian grain for sale to third countries. how did they get ready to join the eu? this is a single economic space. we are asking rhetorical questions now. well, of course, the most important thing is what is happening at the front. pavel kukushkin is in inkor with us in direct communication from the zone of the special military operation. hello, pavel, of course, attracts attention. news about the destruction of the first in this conflict and abrams, are the details known? yes, hello , evgeniy, but there are not many details yet, it is known that this is the result of the work of the heroic fighters of the fifteenth, fifteenth separate motorized rifle brigade, not far from the village of berdyche, this i

the confederation is a pro-russian far-right party. it has representation in the parliament. after the autumn elections, they wanted to create a coalition together with law and justice, but... they did not have enough votes. at the very first meeting in the newly elected diet, its representative dzhegosh braun provoked a scandal. do you remember what happened there? i was in the diet at the time, i just went to the negotiations with the new government to explain the true reason for the blocking of the border by carriers. we are in the polish diet. it was here in this place that a few days ago on hanukkah, the hanukiya stood. this hanukkah was scandalously extinguished with a fire extinguisher by dzhegosh brown. at the same time , he injured a woman who wanted to stop him. brown is one of the leaders of the protests on the polish-ukrainian border and one of the initiators of these protests. everything that this one does pro-russian party, it favors moscow. why did they try to make a scandal here in the seimas that day? because on this day the new tusk government came to power.

party, which is known for having ties to russia and business ties and political ties and perhaps financial ties, then we can say that... some russian special services, through their agents in poland, are using this strike to actually stir up relations between ukraine and poland, and even worse between ukrainians and poles, that's exactly why what we've seen these slogans coming up is one of those slogans that everyone noticed because it was very loud, but there's a lot of... also these kinds of slogans and these incitements to let's scatter the seed , let's not miss not only goods, yes, but also passengers , let's expel all ukrainians from poland, all these statements are actually aimed at inciting inter-ethnic enmity, and in particular between ukrainians and poles, because that is why we can say that there is a rather large element here. .. actually this third influence of a third party, well, first of all, russia, russia, who are interested in ensuring that there is no unity between ukraine and poland, and one more small emphasis that i wanted to make, of course, polish farmers have the

party, which is known for having ties to russia, also began to join this, and business connections,olitical connections, and possibly financial connections, then it can be said that some russian special services, through their agents in poland, are using... stage this strike in order to actually stir up relations between ukraine and poland, and it is even worse between ukrainians and poles, precisely because of that, and and what we've seen these slogans that come up is one of those slogans that everybody paid attention to because it was very loud, but there are also many similar slogans and these incitements to let's sow the seed, let's not miss not only cargo, but also passengers, let's expel all ukrainians from poland, these are all for... you are actually aimed at inciting inter-ethnic enmity, and in particular between ukrainians and poles, because that is why we can say here that there is enough large element actually this third influence of a third party, well, first of all, russia, the russians, who are interested in the fact that there is no unity between ukraine and poland,

he is the owner of a logistics company and the leader of the lublin branch of the confederation party. it was he who posted this photo on his social networks, you can see it now. ukrainian grain is scattered on the road, trucks are returning to ukraine. that's how he signed this picture. a photo with ukrainian grain in the middle of the road immediately went viral on social networks. ukraine is outraged by the act of the poles, the grain, as they say, was generally going transit to lithuania. the polish prosecutor's office has started an investigation into the incident, the minister of agriculture of poland has apologized for the incident. this is the position of the authorities, but what do the farmers themselves want? let's listen. in fact , we support ukraine in other matters. blocking border checkpoints that the level of solidarity with ukraine in polish society has decreased. we asked the director of eastern european programs of the polish institute of international relations, daniel sheligowski, the question before the broadcast. on the one hand , i certainly understand that it

party led, so that there is a political trace , political motivation, but the fourth moment has actuallyd, because in fact ukrainian grain is not imported until now. and it is necessary to boost the atmosphere, then in fact a different process is taking place in poland now, poland is de facto stopping its role as a transit country for ukrainian agricultural products, of ukrainian grain, and this is actually a bacchanalia, because it is happening with the support and encouragement of the state authorities, i am sorry to say this, it pains me. to speak , because such useless actions, such a mess is happening on the border, and with regard to agricultural production, a country that is bleeding, for which... for this, for this agricultural production, people pay with their lives, russia is specially hitting with missiles, reporting infrastructure, about elevators, about agricultural farmers, large farms, and it simply does not hit a healthy head, and all this happens in such, you know, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful frills are trying to sell it, we help ukraine, well, don't judge. just don'

party, which advocates poland's exit from the eu, criticizes the deployment of nato troops in the country and campaigns for the improvement of polish-russian relations. mekler also actively covers the course of the protests on his facebook page, and, for example, he also reported on spilled ukrainian grain on his page. natalka volosatska, correspondent of radio america. radio liberty in poland joins our broadcast, i'm natalka, i slandered because the representative we also expect the voice of america on today's broadcast, you are in poland with us, please tell us what the situation is at the moment and, in principle, is there any reaction from the polish authorities and polish law enforcement officers to what we showed and saw today? greetings vlasto, the situation at the border has escalated, the protest has taken on more aggressive colors, polish farmers were smoking... car tires spilled manure so as not to get to the point, as the police became a living border between farmers and ukrainian drivers, law enforcement officers had shields and gas in cylinders. as soon as i got on the phone

party.rce that advocates poland’s exit from the eu, and the spanish trans person got caught for the truth, so it turns out that he, a trans person, must now pay a large fine. the court noted that transiyabeda violated basic human rights by simply calling transgender people men and transvestites. according to icelandic laws, in addition to the term and fine, he was prohibited from teaching so that he would not teach bad things to children, and he worked. barcelona sentenced a transgender man to 6 months in prison, finding him guilty of committing an offense against fundamental human rights and public freedoms for posting transphobic comments on social media. the man was also ordered to pay a fine of 3,850 euros. the comments were made in 2020, who is anonymous in this proceeding so we 'll call him po, took to social media to complain about the transgender influencer. last summer... miko organized and led a tour of barcelona, ​​which showed the key areas where the sex industry flourished. the

i'll say again, was the reactionary party, the anti reconstruction party, the post confederate party of the time. so one after another, southerners states are falling to democratic control, which gives state government the ability to restrict to suppress voters by less terroristic means. terrorism doesn't 100% go away, but it's much. and what else is happening? and this is important to know that that northerners are losing interest in the south. they're rapidly interest in the south's problems, in the problems for african-americans as the public attention, political attention is shifting in other directions. in 1874, which is the some might say was the real end of reconstruction, a republicans lose control of the house and represent the lives and therefore the ability to pass bills and therefore the ability to support the troops in the south and to pay enough federal prosecutors in the south. it's very expensive. congress doesn't do it anymore. and as as i think probably we all know by in 1876, the republican party as a whole nationally kind of faces a political reality that. leads t

well, i will tell you that many parties use it, there is a confederation, and there are ruling partiesg which there is, for example, the peasant party, uh, also wants to use it, and people in other parties of the coalition, who also take participation in local elections, they do not use it, but they do not actively calm these processes, they are generally afraid to interfere in it, so that it does not harm them, it is definitely the polish local elections that will be held in april that will affect it, the poles really hope that it somehow it will suck in a few weeks, or because of some big crisis, or, well, or vice versa, they say that the peasants will have to go to cultivate the land, they will not be able to block it, but excuse me, then there will be transporters, where again the confederation and the russians will come there the provocateurs and everyone else will continue to do the same, waiting while the farmers work in the fields, that's why it's really such a big problem, and you have to remember that after the local elections, they will also have the european parliament elec

so johnson is a is a volatile drunkard is southern democratic party and some ex confederates like jefferson davis don't seem to realize that they've lost. what does longstreet want? he wants he wants peace. and he wants peace for his family. he wants prosper, charity and serenity for his family. his family has had a brutal civil war as so many. but it's just a particularly brutal moment in the winter of 1862, when he loses three small children in one week to scarlet fever, and after that his just changes his mood, his his wife has suffered, his family has suffered. he just wants peace and prosperity for them. so he looks around the landscapes. who's going to bring peace is andrew johnson going to bring peace? no. he's divisive. or people who are who are in this, you know, will live to fight another day kind of lost cause mentality, going to bring peace. no. who's waiting in the wings to sir, to to replace andrew johnson as his disastrous term comes to an end impeached almost removed office u.s. grant us grant who i long street thinks is a man of honor, a man who wants peace. grant, who has

that joined peace, it is no secret that in separate, in separate by-elections, the former ruling partyt justice, the confederates form a coalition, even joint lists, if you consider that these confederates are the largest ukrainophobic political force, which not only surfs on phobias, on anti-ukrainian sentiments, but... has direct connections and touches on russian narratives, their leaders, the initiators of the blockade, go to crimea, so it is obvious that there is no external heating here, but the direct source of this tension is in the internal polish agenda, it is the confrontation of different groups of influence, ruling. political party and between the ruling and the opposition, and until there is no consensus on the ukrainian issue, until a unified policy is developed, and the government or the ruling political force cannot or does not want to implement it, accordingly, we will have constant problems, so it is not about the economy, it's not about the interests of farmers, it's not about quotas, it's not about subsidies, it's politics, first of all. domestic polish , but this

to actually organize, if it is really him, well, he is a politician who represents the pro-russian partyf the confederation, who has long spoken with pro-russian slogans, who has long been involved in initiating road blockades, who before that had a company that made money on transfers to russia and belarus, it is obvious that this and this is a tool of the russian special services, i have no other characteristics either to this gentleman, to these people, when people come who have nothing to do with the peasants. in fanatical scarves, and you know how fanatical groups are easily and often manipulated by various special services, especially the russian ones , which specialize in this and do everything to make our two nations quarrel, ah, unfortunately, the polish authorities do not feel this threat and danger, and this is how it works when i mean the polish police in relation to mr. vadym and his fellow ukrainian drivers, obviously this is unavoidable and will end badly if the polish authorities do not come to their senses, well, this is a trader. the confederation in poland there at the

confederates form a coalition and even joint lists. take into account that these confederates are the largest ukrainophobic political force, which not only surfs on phobias and anti-ukrainian sentiments, but has direct connections and touches to russian narratives. their leaders, the initiators of the blockade go to crimea, so it is obvious that there is no need for external heating here, but the direct source of this tension is in the internal polish agenda, it is the confrontation of various groups of influence of the ruling political party and between the ruling party and the opposition, and there is still no consensus. . regarding the ukrainian issue, until a unified policy is developed, and the government or the ruling political force cannot or does not want to implement it, accordingly, we will have constant problems, so it is not about the economy, it is not about the interests of farmers, it is not about quotas, it's not about subsidies, it's politics, primarily internal polish, but this internal politics, it is becoming. is fo

well, this is a politician who represents the pro-russian party of the confederation, who has been speakingpro-russian slogans for a long time, who has long been involved in initiating road blockades, who before that had a company that made money on transportation to russia and belarus, it is obvious that this and this is a tool of the russian special services , i have no other characteristics for this gentleman, for these people , when people come who... have nothing to do with the peasants in fanatical scarves, and you know, like fanatical groups are easily and often manipulated by various special services, especially the russian ones, which specialize in this and do everything to make our two peoples quarrel, unfortunately, the polish authorities do not feel this threat and danger, and act like this, when i mean the polish police in relation to mr. vadim and his fellow ukrainian drivers, obviously this is unacceptable and will end badly if the polish authorities do not come to their senses. well, this was a trade confederation in poland there at the end of the 18th century, which turned

plus our beloved confederation, er, and i call it the confederation, thank you very much. very much, marek sirant, a polish expert journalist, was with us, thank you very much , he told the good, or rather the bad news about this one , about the fact that russian grain enters poland easily and casually, or rather. even not only to poland, but also to europe, but ukrainian grain is not, and ukrainian grain is not allowed, apparently ukrainian is poisoned with such logic, and russian is beautiful, wonderful and so on, but we don't have an answer, and marik also asked these questions to the polish authorities, we don't know anything yet, but we will try to investigate it, that's what we work for as journalists. so now the commercials, and then we'll fly to israel, see what 's going on there, but... anyway, there will be commercials first. kratal contains natural components that carefully care for your heart. kratal improves blood supply and the functional state of the myocardium, normalizes it heart rate, increases physical and mental performance. kratal is a natural force fo

of change, then mateusz piskorsky of the swedes. prosecuted, why meckler and his confederates are notn fact , piskorsky was brought to justice, the party was banned, but now he is back on freedom, now he is acting again, by the way, together with mechter, ugh, that's why i, i 'm not an expert in this, and i don't understand why this happens, but in all these protests there are people who we have been with for more than 10 years, as the euromaidan organization has long been... identified as people who either work for the russian services, or who carry out the instructions of the russian services, we see them constantly, they have not changed for decades, it even reaches such a level that when we on may 9, for example, we block the monument there so that there is no glorification of russian fascism and so on next, the monument to the soviet soldiers, i mean, the russian ambassador comes to lay flowers with these particular people, and now these people who went to lay... flowers under the russian monuments with the ambassador shaking hands with the russian ambassador under during the war

, but this, if i say marginal , not the main party, probably i won't go much against it, you are moreert in politics, it cannot take bilateral trade relations of two countries hostage, and it is obvious that the emphasis is on blocking. it is done precisely with this idea, precisely with the idea of ​​maximum publicity, but in the coalition there is a polish peasant party, which cannot risk the votes of the peasants, well, of course, there is, i agree with you that there is a political component here, but the political component cannot come forward at the throat of the same polish business, which, i will repeat once again, exports to ukraine much more than it imports from ukraine, and in the end indeed, there is a large component of polish business , including, ah... business, which is cooperation with ukraine, it is beneficial, if you, guys, in poland have distortions with the import of grain from ukraine, you have some questions there about pesticides, for other things, let 's solve it, but let's solve it through normal trade, depoliticized negotiations, and it can be done, we have

we cannot share information about third parties except, i understand, information about the border, yes thank you. we will not embarrass you with such questions, although we are very interested in rafal mekler, as well as other putinists who incite anti-ukrainian sentiments, to be punished. thank you, andriy demchenko, the spokesman of the state border guard service of ukraine, was in touch with us, talking about the situation, the operational situation on the polish border, where protests continue, thank you. well, i was most surprised, you know, when they pour out these mountains, pour out the grain and stick the pra... of the european union and that in basically, these forces, which are absolutely not european, they are precisely anti-european , at one time voted for all kinds of confederations, they put the russian flag there, well , actually then it would be logical, but here somehow it all looks so cruel, but the polish police said that they are really looking into it and even looking for those farmers who could do it or those activists who they are actually there and i'm sure tha

, but it is, if i say marginal, not the main one the party, i probably don't have much in the way oftion, you are more of an expert in politics, it cannot take the bilateral trade relations of two countries hostage, and it is obvious that the emphasis on blocking the border is made precisely from... a party that cannot take risks by the voices of the peasants, well, of course, this is the case here, i agree with you that there is a political component here, but the political component cannot step on the throat of the same polish business, which, i will repeat once again, exports to ukraine much more than it imports from ukraine , and in the end indeed, there is a large component of polish business , including agricultural business. what kind of cooperation with ukraine, it is beneficial, if you guys have problems in poland with the import of grain from ukraine, you have some questions there about pesticides, about other things, let's solve it, but let's solve it through normal trade, depoliticized negotiations, and it can be done, we have quite worthy negotiators for this and a fairl

even governors across the country like governor tate reeves in mississippi, making april confederateis is embedded in the republican party, and i think about will hurd, a black republican, who said the gop must deal with the racism in their party, not only from the politicians but the base. why does this resonate with the base? this should turn off the base. can you imagine if joe biden said more people can relate to me, more black folks can relate to me because my son was indicted? that would be an international story. you would have every black republican and every white conservative saying it was egregious. so why does this resonate with the base? i think it's a long time in the making. southern strategy, welfare queen narrative, welly horton ad. the birther movement. the gop has to make a decision what kind of base they're going to appeal to. >> well, i think we have a good sense of what that is right now. so i guess the question is, what do you see happening writ large in the black community to sort of clarify for america as we watch the pushback against critical race theory, pu

important prominent labor union official in soul who is the chief of the soul branch of the korean confederation of trade unions, south korea's largest umbrella union here at the rally to give a speech along with other leading rights activists. 95 organizations have representatives at this rally, including key political parties, these are not radical parties at all, they are center left, and it's really becoming a problem for the un administration here in south korea, which is under tremendous pressure to support the us when it comes to helping israel conduct its war in gaza. and the polls show that the southram public is opposed to that, well over 80% oppose south korea getting involved in the war in gaza, they wish to stay neutral, and yet the south korean president has been agreeing to help the us, and these protesters say that that has to stop, including these prominent politicians and leaders of... society who hold a lot of cloud here in south korea, this pro- palestinian movement is very powerful movement now, it's not just the fringe movement, and the justice party and the labor party and

, but this... what i will say is marginal, not the main one the party, probably, i am not very much againstthe truth, you are more of an expert in politics, it cannot take hostage the bilateral trade relations of the two countries, and it is obvious that the emphasis on blocking the border is made precisely with this idea, precisely with the idea of ​​maximum, but the polish peasant party in the coalition, which cannot risk the votes of the peasants, well , of course, there is, i agree with you that there is a political component here, but the political component is not... it can step on the throat of the same polish business that i still once again, exports to ukraine much more than it imports from ukraine, and in the end there really is a large component of polish business, including agricultural business, and cooperation with ukraine is beneficial if you guys have distortions in poland with the importation of grain from ukraine, you have some questions there about pesticides, about other things, let's solve it, but let's solve it. through normal trade, depoliticized negotiations, and thi

are , well, so to speak, radicals, and the behavior of peace is a respectable centrist center -right partylso allowed themselves such attacks in side of the ukrainians and... who, in fact , fueled this atmosphere of nervousness among the polish population. ukrainiania, mr. volodymyr, unfortunately, is just such a platform where all these emotions can grow, and accordingly we would like to return to our beautiful ukrainian situations and emotions, we understand that there have been huge personnel changes and rotations in the higher military. people , people with biographies, generals, colonels, who have served more than one year in the armed forces of ukraine, have entered the command, but emotions are still running high, and we understand that, well, perhaps some additional large rotations are coming, for example, at the cabinet level, yes well, in general, in your opinion, when the situation stabilizes, the first thing to do is if there were personnel reshuffles, well... what zelensky stated, about extensive personnel reshuffles, started from the civilian sphere, from the political sphere

all of her policies were along the line of the tea party.xception that jenny sanford pointed out was the confederate flag. when she was running for governor she spoke to the sons of the confederate veterans and she said she had no intention of removing the confederate flag. after overwhelming support for moving the flag, she agreed. that angered a few and her base but in general she governed as a staunch conservative and really capped the tea party energy going even as it began to evolve. it broke up a little bit for a lack of clear organization but it re-solidified under them i got -- under the maga movement. gavin: nikki haley spoke about personhood and ivf and the alabama court decision. was that something that could reemphasize to her republican base that i am still a republican but also may be flag some democrats thinking, maybe she is not what i would think of as a moderate? scott: i'm not sure of the strategic reasoning behind that. looking at how many families have used in vitro fertilization and how many frozen embryos are there and

and they have a heck of a party because all of these rations were left out on july 4th, independence day. they go into confederate bellies, but because he can't go down the potomac river early, is forced to go all the way around up through sharpsburg, south mountain passes and down into frederick this does not go unnoticed in the late days of june 1864, but it doesn't go reported by union soldiers goes are reported by railroad. the map here is the baltimore and ohio railroad. the red line heading from baltimore west towards ohio and the first reports of this confederate movement moving down the valley come from railroad agents who don't know exactly how many, don't know their end destination, but they start to report back movement of confederate soldiers in the shenandoah valley that those reports ultimately come to the baltimore and a house president named john w garrett, who wants some action done by the federal high command. and so i think this letter here, i find from various quarters statements of large forces in the valley, i am satisfied the operations demand greatest vigilanc

rob is expected to return to my for the watch party we are and he spoke with the clock black confederationsa today about a total in this republican primary surpassed the democratic primary heard earlier this month. he believes a record will be broken. >> south carolina is a great presidential campaign. extradition and i expect we will see that continue. >> he saying he thinks the end of nikki haley's run will be in south carolina trump in the democratic party have been critical of nikki haley who says she welcomes all voters today and south carolina so long as a photo didn't participate in the democratic primary this month and the can't vote today. >> alexandra half, thank you. nikki haley's campaign, the former south carolina governor is not budging on her promise to keep campaigning no matter what tonight's results are. mark meredith live in charleston with more on that. >> good evening, the stage behind me is where nikki haley will address supporters later tonight whether or not this is a watch party or victory celebration, still to be determined. the haley campaign spent this week tryi

the same meckler and others from the confederation, they are increasing the number of supporters, orthe contrary, are these actions against them? according to the indicators, it is clear that they are in desperation, their party is disintegrating there, so in fact, and their indicators according to the last polls show that they spend a lot, they more or less, they have even lower indicators than the left-wing forces in poland, that is, they are really in favor of... i wish them what they wish for in ukraine, i also wished for you, sir marko, i wanted to ask you, more precisely, not me, i will simply convey this, vladimir vladimirovich wants to ask you, mr. marko, tell me, why did you attack peaceful, small, tiny germany and hitler was sleeping, they attacked him. a question from putin to you, i can answer yes, vladimir vladimirovich, change your doctor, or they are lying to you. that's it, that's it. the pills need to be changed from time to time, because we know that our, our, our biology is such that we get used to drugs, from time to time we need to change them, we need to change

, white, southern conservatives at the time in the democratic party. but in the story that i tell, i also talk about the fact that you've got that sort of significant contingent of white northerners and westerners who are also democrats, the democratic party, a national party conservatives as across the country then as they are now. they just happened to be in they just happened to be in the democratic party at the time. and so you do have white southern conservatives are participating in the violence condoning the violence, but you have a lot of white northerners and westerners who are conservatives, white, northern conservatives who are excusing the violence and who are refusing to listen to any evidence about it. and so those aren't just ordinary. those are also people in like johnson's administration. there's nothing you can tell certain of congress and certain of president johnson's cabinet, even when it's coming from. the us army officials is what's happening in the region. they turn their heads and say, this isn't happening they got to be making

she became more of a centrist figure after the -- when she took down the confederate flag. she switched over and became a trumpian figure when she went to join him. she then became a trump critic. she's been in a lot of places idealogically, and to be really successful as a presidential candidate in the end, the combination of performance skills with a real mooring, knowing who you are, knowing your core beliefs and projecting those consistently, that's necessary. then there is the third part, which is, what is the -- what happens after -- if donald trump loses or ends up in jail or both and isn't re-elected president of the united states at the end of this year, what happens to the republican party? that's the big $20 million existential question. is there a big fight for the soul of the party where some older version of republicanism rears its head up again and tries to reclaim the republican party, or has trump fundamentally corrupted the party and remade it in his image, to the point where, you know, the people like nikki haley, where she is now, and other more traditio

that's happening and he's trying to make this deal in a way that they will buy land because of all parties are not taught in the deal is going to fall apart. >> and you get a sense for just how difficult this must have been. i must have missed this day in history class because i didn't realize this until i read the book but talk about the dominican republic and the role that grant and others thought he would play in this whole mess. >> they were throwing everything against the wall about possibilities to soothe the south or make it so that this wasn't an issue so one of the things they think about which is just out there in the big picture is taking the dominican republic and having all former slaves just move in just everybody and suddenly people are thinking well maybe this could work. maybe this would solve the south's problems and it's unfeasible from the beginning and it goes down in flames. it just goes to show you they were trying to think of everything to throw up against the wall. >> meanwhile there's a great westward expansion in the united states which creates a whole other set

and instead she's kind of had to shy away away from that because of the republican party as it exists at the moment. >> she >> struggling, i would disagree that she's tried to frame herself as a moderate. she uses the word conservative to describe herself frequently, but she has said she wants to appeal to moderates. and i think what she really represents is a type of conservative, but he type of conservative maybe from a time capsule of a decade kate are more, people are more of a republican party that has transformed very much. and i think the reason why she has stayed in the race, even though it seems extraordinarily unlikely that she will be the republican nominee, is to try to hold onto the notion that, hey, there is still the slice of the party already. it's not a majority of the party, but it still exists. that believes those things they were saying a decade ago and believes that perhaps their time will come around again, forget that she started out as a tea party candidates and so she was very conservative, but on foreign policy, you see the stark differences between her and t
