another area that should have been a unifier for the nation. long before the final match, team co-captain megan rapinoe famously said she'd not visit the fing white house which drew a pointed response from the president who said he'd nevertheless extend an invite. after winning, rapinoe said she was unaware of a single teammate who would be willing to go. no surprise then that formal invitation has yet to follow. but at the opposite end of pennsylvania avenue, alexandria ocasio-cortez and nancy pelosi said that they would welcome a visit of the champions to congress, an opportunity to which rapinoe was receptive. and so instead of the universal at the timing of the remarkable women, we'll again be separated in our red and blue corners. and one more item off the diminishing list of common ground that we have as americans. used to be that military service was a common denominator. but that burden is shared by

very few. gone are the days when we watched the same tv shows in great numbers. just too much chase for that. we get our news from opposite ends of the spectrum, local newspapers used to provide community glue. but they are being shuttered. and technology generally has enabled us to associate with the like minded by passing interaction with people who come from different places and hold differing viewpoints. so tolerance is fleeting. unification is rare. and community is in decline. and nothing has contributed to that like partisan bickering. it used to be that our internal differences stopped at the water's edge. but 2016 marked the ending of that thinking when even the foreign meddling into a presidential election was viewed through partisan lenses. and so gone are the days that we unite against a common foe whether in the world court or on a soccer pitch. this week a reporter denied

access by a candidate for mississippi governor became an international news story. why? because the reporter layer ris son campbell is a female, and the candidate robert foster is a man. and foster said for campbell to be allowed to cover him, she'd have to bring along a male colleague. what was his reasoning? robert foster join me now. representative, thanks for being here. so what kind of a truck is it? >> takes cheit is a chevy silve. >> you said my rules my truck. that is a big truck. wasn't there is a practical solution where you could have just brought somebody along? >> yeah, the situation is she wanted to do a ride along interview that was going to be about a 15 to 16 hour day and i'm running a small campaign grass roots campaign, it is early on in the election.

we haven't everybody gn gotten primary yet. and a lot of times my staff member has to go different directions and it would have been many an opportunity for us to have time alone in that vehicle from top stop to stop. and per repgs isception is real said it would be better if you brought along a male along with you. and she got offended. we didn't even have the opportunity to work out the details of me being able to arrange to have someone with us for the entire day. which could be done, but at the time i didn't have somebody that could commit to that long of a day with me. and so she got offended and wrote the article and here we are. >> we put on the screen a moment ago and we'll put it back up, a political cartoon that suggests that the wheels are coming off that truck of your. i'm curious, how is this playing in mississippi? >> i think it is going very well

for me in mississippi. the people in mississippi overwhelmingly degree with me. in fact i've had people from all over the nation reaching out to me that are professionals, men and women, that practice this same practice. it is the billy graham rule. mike pence himself practices this rule. many successful businesspeople both men and women practice the rule of not being alone in a closed door room with a member of the opposite sectix or ridin alone in a vehicle with the opposite sex because it is not professional to do so. and biggest thing here, i had a vow with my wife that i put first and foremost above anybody else's feelings. i understand that she was offended, but my vow to my wife and my faith go before anybody else's personal feelings. >> what of the argument that says that you are aiding the limitation, you are preventings advancement of women professionally. i've watched this play out and i'm mindful of the fact that i

have both a wife and mother who are successful realtors. and if this were the practice in my area, they would be very limited in their ability to sell houses. you could make that same argument about a number of other professions for women. >> well, here is the thing. everybody can have the choice to live their lives the way they want to choose to live them. i choose to live my life by putting god first in everything that i do and putting my wife and family second and everything else comes after that to me. and i'm not going to change that for anybody else's views. and the thing that everybody either needs to think about too is that when i'm alone in a vehicle with a woman that is not my wife, people may perceive there to be something going on whether there is or not. and the other thing that has to be taken into consideration is that now in the #metoo movement era, people can accuse me 10, 15 years later of accusing me of

assaulting them and i have no witness there. so i have to protect myself in my personal and professional career. >> representative, in this case and i know this from reading in on the subject, the reporter is gay. is that of any consequence? >> how are people to know that? can you tell by looking at someone that they are gay? when i'm riding around in a vehicle with a woman, they won't have any clue that she is gay. and how does that have anything to do with the fact that can a guy woman not accuse a man of sexual assaulting her th? that didn that doesn't make inside either. >> my understanding of your argument is that you are worrying about perception, not reality. you are not worried about your own could benductconduct, you'r about perception. why not fight a false perception instead of s--

>> because perception is reality. people don't dig to find out what the truth is most of the time. they see an image or they see a sound bite of somebody saying something and that is all it takes. and i'm running a very strong candidacy for this race for governor. it will be a very tight race on august 6 and i've had two professional trackers being paid by my opponents to follow me on every public stop that i make and they are filming me trying to catch a glimpse, a picture or a short statement from me that they can use against me in my campaign. and so i'm not going to give them that opportunity and have to pin t spend the rest of my time trying to defend myself. >> a hypothetical for you. a guy male reporter. th -- gay male reporter. this was a gay female. what if a guy that was out similarly requested a ride along in your truck? >> i'm not gay and i'm married to a woman.

and generally people aren't going to be able to tell if somebody is gay by looking at them. so again, it is perception. >> so assume that i'm a gay guy and i'm a journalist and i want to do a ride along with you. i'm out in mississippi. are you going to let me in the truck? >> i would. and generally there is going to be somebody with us at a lot of the stops so it will be a situation where -- >> wait a minute. come on. that is an inconsistency. if you're worried about perception with a female but i'm a guy who is gay, why are you not similarly worried? why are you letting me in the truck but not her is my question. >> because i'm not gay and people won't perceive me to be. i'm married to a woman. >> right, therefore your thought is that they know that that is not what i'm up for. but in this particular case, that was exactly what you had because she was gay as wiell.

>> nobody can know that by looking at her. >> by the way, i have to interview whoever else is with you. either that or i'm getting re reverb. >> sorry, somebody in the back. >> gotcha. bottom line, to those who say that you are hindering women's advancement, you want them to know what? >> that is not true at all. there are two things here. one, she reached out to me for an interview. i don't have to grant anybody an interview anytime anywhere. that is my decision. i do interviews with women reporters all the time. but we do it in a professional setting where there is somebody else around. she wanted to do a 15 hour ride along with me and i made one simple question. s could have arranged that. but what she really wanted is a story. so how am i to know that her story was not going to be

negative to begin with. and in professional settings, you never have to be alone with somebody with a door closed. you can always arrange having somebody outside the room with the door open and have conversation and it doesn't inhibit anyone from moving in their professional careers. people bra it all ovpractice it country and most big corporations practice this policy. >> a lot of practical considerations. i used one, a dentist, an uber driver, a whole host of situations. anyway, i'm appreciative of the fact that you came on to describe this. so thank you. >> yeah, i would just disagree with you. it doesn't hurt anybody's advancement. and one last thing i'd like to mention, everybody please keep in mind that people on the coast this hurricane is going to devastate not just louisiana, but mississippi already had a tremendous amount of devastation from the flooding and all the fresh water that has ruined the fishing industry in the mississippi guflg. and they will be under a

tremendous amount of flooding as well. and we don't need to forget about mississippi when this hurricane comes through. >> we certainly won't. thank you, representative. appreciate it. >> thank you. well, in-this makes f thinkr a great survey question. we worded it, is a male mississippi gubernatorial candidate justified in precluding a female reporter from traveling with him one-on-one? go to my website, vote on that. i'll give you the result at the end of this hour. so far via twitter -- robert foster is a sexist who doesn't want to be alone with women because he'd be tempted to break his marriage vows. this is his problem. doug, i found the obvious inconsistency in him saying if it were a male who is gay and out, that he would allow that individual to be in the truck because he knows that he is straight but that is in contrast

to him saying it is all about perception. right? because perception was his argument. not that something would happen with campbell, but the perception of him being alone with a woman. one more if we have time. i'm as left as they come, but said a strong yes here. i recall my hr recommendations along similar lines. wow, a lefty who says a strong yes meaning that he is, what, justified. go vote at the website. i'm really curious to see how this will pan out by the end of the hour. up ahead, tomorrow's planned i.c.e. raids of nine u.s. cities aimed to round up thousands of undocumented immigrants. i'll talk to somebody involved in giving dozens of them refuge. and after a man allegedly car jacked a vehicle with three young children inside, an angry mob here in philadelphia beat him to death. should his attacker s suffer an legal consequences? for the love of hunting, fishing, and working the land.

mob justice or a crime of revenge? a guy in philadelphia allegedly stole a car outside a pizza shop with three young children inside. the youngest, 7 months old. 25-year-old mother had left the engine running as she ran inside to visit the father of two of the children. he worked at the pizza shop.

the parents chased down the stolen vehicle on foot after it became stuck in traffic, pulled the alleged carjacker eric hood out of the car, hood then allegedly assaulted the father and fled, but a group of people nearby stopped him and beat him to death. philadelphia police say they have video of the encounter, they are trying to identify members of the mob, but no arrests have been made. should the members of the mob be charged or is this a case of street justice? with me now to discuss is veteran criminal defense attorney william brennan. billy, what would be the charges if those in the mob were to be prosecuted? >> well, in a case like this with this vigilante type justice, there is a fine line between praise and prosecution. and if it leans toward the latter and there is a prosecution commenced, then that decision has not been made as i understand it by d.crasner, i

think the lead charge would be voluntary manslaughter. malice is an element that is necessary for murder. i don't see it here. involuntary manslaughter which is a serious charge, there is a mistaken belief that killing is justified or a sudden and intense passion that leads one to commit acts that they wouldn't normally commit. so i think that the lead charge would be voluntary manslaughter, but i don't know that it will be charged. >> if you were retained by anybody in that mob to defend them, how worried would you be about this case going to a jury in this town? >> well, i worry about all the cases. having said that, i would think that this case at its worst for me would be a hung jury. i don't think that 12 people will agree that taking a man out of a car with three children -- i understand their ages were five months to three or four years old. little babies. i don't think that any jury of

12 would be unanimous in convicting for those actions. i just didn't son't see it. i think it is a hung jury at worst. >> and what about the mom? the whmom is the one who leaves the three kids in the back, she goes inside apparently to see the father of two of the children. arguably but for her leaving them there, none of this happens. should she face something? >> well, that is the problem here. as citizens, as parent, i'm sure we can understand we all do things that are risky, we don't think anything will come of it. but if you back out the end of the story, if this iss is a fiv chapter book, you take the last chapter out where they beat him to death and you just have mom going into the pizza store, leaving the hyundai running with the three babies in it and the cop on the beat is walking by, i think that she gets charged. i think it is child endangerment. you have a running car, three little babies in there. the car could pop out of gear.

anything could happen. so i think that has been somewhat mooted by the fifth chapter so to speak, the fact that the man jumped in the car and drove away with those three babies. it is likely that nobody gets charged. >> it brings to mind especially at this time of year those horrific instances where somebody is driving an infant to preschool and forgets that they are in the car when they stupidly get out to run an errand of some kind and we go through the same kind ever thought process as to whether that individual should be charged. is that and an natural g analog? >> i think this is more analogous about ten years ago almost to the day, a man was accused and suspected of a child rape in kensington section of

philadelphia. and a mob of 12 beat him senseless. they may not were not charged, two of them got 11,500 as a reward for apprehending him. and i don't know if it was the same mob, but a mob beat the wrong man a day earlier. so i mean, it is very difficult to balance our desire to take bad guys and deal with them in a quick efficient manner against the need for society to respect our injuries rue deniiejurisprum of laws. >> i remember that case. >> if everybody beat everyone to candidate, we'd be out of business. >> i remember that case. big difference is there has been a sea change in the d.a.'s office now headed by a progressive prosecutor which used to be a contradiction in terms. and it will be very interesting to see whether charges are brought.

bill, thank you so much for being here. >> thank you, michael. what are you saying on twitter and facebook? this comes if a fr facebook i think. charge but minimum sentence. should have held for police. mom charge for endangerment. it would be very interesting, jerry. i'm not sure what the outcome will be. look, you can't just give a green light to vigilante justice. that is the bottom line. in this outcome, the guy had a long rap sheet. mom did something foolish admittedly. but it is complicated. i want to see exactly how it gets handled by the d.a. go to my website and afternoons th answer this question. is a male mississippi gubernatorial candidate justified in precluding a female reporter from traveling with hill one-on-one? still to come, yes, aoc is one of the biggest star in the democratic party, but her hard left agenda is creating huge problems for her colleagues

seeking the 2020 nomination. and protesters rallied in cities around the country against tomorrow's scheduled i.c.e. immigration raids, but if everybody knows that the raids are coming, how many will actually be deported? that is my question. i'm about to talk to somebody who is helping give many of them safe harbor. we didn't know where to turn for more information. that's why i recommend a free service called a place for mom. we have local senior living advisors who can answer your questions about dementia or memory care and, if necessary, help you find the right place for your mom or dad. we all want what's best for our parents, so call today. still nervous about buying uh-oh, la new house.meone's is it that obvious? yes it is. you know, maybe you'd worry less if you got geico to help with your homeowners insurance. i didn't know geico could helps with homeowners insurance.

yep, they've been doing it for years. what are you doing? big steve? thanks, man. there he is. get to know geico and see how much you could save on homeowners and renters insurance. i had a few good tricks to help hide my bladder leak pad. like the old "tunic tug". but always discreet is less bulky. and it really protects. 'cause it turns liquid to gel. so i have nothing to hide. always discreet.

we like drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago? oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. according to the administration, tomorrow i.c.e. will conduct raids in nine american cities to round up undocumented family members to get them deport ed it was going to be ten, but new orleans got a pass because of the incoming storm. some of those with pending deportation orders seeking legal

relief have been taking refuge in houses of worship. so what will happen to them and to others? my next guest has been providing safe havens to some. reverend anderson serves with the church world service which currently has 45 immigrants taking refuge in their churches, some in targeted cities. reverend, does anything legally speaking preclude i.c.e. from entering houses of worship and removing those individuals? >> yes, thank you so much for having me on your show. yeah, we do have of course the tradition that goes back nows of years, the still boymbolic tradf sanctuary. but then of course there is the immigration customs enforcement memo called sensitive locations, and this memo says that i.c.e. should not be doing immigration enforcement actions in houses of worship, schools or hospitals.

now, we don't see that -- we have seen i.c.e. actually encroaching on that space, but so far the houses of worship have remained protected and we expect that that will continue in these oncoming raids. >> should anyone -- i want to ask a very broad and gentleman with thegeneric question. should anyone who is here illegally ever be deported?lema with generic question. should anyone who is here illegally ever be deported? >> well, you know, we always have to circle back to our faith values, right? which is that every human has inherent dignity. and that we are called to love our neighbor and to welcome the immigrant in our midst. so it really isn't our decision. our role is to welcome all people. and that is what we're trying to do. and because of that, we do of course stand against deportations and part of our

prophetic tradition is to stand up to the unjust laws that are tearing families and communities apart. >> but, reverend, that is synonymous then with open borders. i mean, why have differentiation of any kind between countries? >> well, you know, of course there is the nation state system and i think that most advocates would agree that people should have a legal process in which to come through ports of entry. in fact asylum seekers are part of that legal process. but the problem that we have is there is no way for most of the immigrants that have come to -- there essentially is no line. people say get in the back of the line, but there is no line especially for low skill labor where our economy is pulling in people all the time for whatever part of like construction jobs, restaurant jobs. and so there is a need here and those people are part of our communities. they are part of our economy. they are a part of our

congregations. and they deserve to stay and live here in dignity and respect and with fair treatment. and our congregations and our faith leaders are stepping up to say these are our values and that is what we believe in and these people are a part of our family. >> and the response to that would be they have been afforded some level of due process, those that we're talking about, because they are subject to a court order that they be deported. you can have the final word. >> well, in the case of these raids, we understand that lot of these central american asylum seekers actually hasn't had the chance to go to court because they didn't get their notice to appear because many times they don't have the correct address. and even so, there is an appeal process these people have that will the of the people that are probably on this list haven't had access to legal services. and more than 90% of the people that have a lawyer are showing up to the courts and we need to support that due process and we need to support the way in which

faith communities and the way in which all our country is set upon due process, constitutional rights and we will fight -- continue to fight to keep families together. >> reverend anderson, thank you so much for being here. >> thanks for having me. let me check in on social media. tweets and facebook comments. this from facebook i think. i.c.e. raid announcement is already a success as i believe it's meant to creative fear, fire up the base and further divide the country. interesting observation. look, it seems to me that the way that you go about gathering, rounding up, whateveror word choice is, those who are here illegally and subject to deportation orders is not to announce it in advance. anybody who tomorrow is in the same place that they were friday when the story broke should be deported for stupidity. i mean it is crazy that this was confirmed by the president yesterday. there has to be something else

to it. by the same token, if they have had due you process and they are subject to deportation orders, i don't think that you can embrace open borders and not apply the law to this circumstance. it will be interesting though to see come tomorrow night or monday what is the number. because you know the media will want to know the number. how many were deported. and the administration will have to provide that data. one more if i have time. sorry, i got long winded. the whiners complaining about this, fu, this is targeting people who already had their day in court. and that is the poents i broupo brought up to reverend anderson. if they are subject to a court order, then what are we saying if we don't enforce that order. then we are acting synonymously with open borders. i want to remind you to answer the survey question. i'm told that there is huge voting on this.

i don't know which way it is going. although i have a suspicious. is a male mississippi gubernatorial candidate justified in precluding a female reporter there traveling with him one-on-one? go to smerconish.com and aunnsw that. still to come, could the biggest booster to president trump's re-election turn out to be cortocasio-cortealexandria ocas? and although jeffrey epstein was charged with sex trafficking of minors by the u.s. attorney's office for the southern district of new york, the real prosecution hero was a tireless journalist. so what will happen to truth and justice if america's newspapers continue to disappear? i started a tiny investment firm in 1986

and grew it to $36 billion dollars. in 2010, i signed the giving pledge to fund good causes. then i left my business to combat climate change, fix our democracy, and hold president trump accountable. last year, we ran the largest youth voter mobilization in history - helping double turnout and win back the house. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. let's make change happen!

continued to dig accumulating enough documentation to fill a spare bedroom in her florida home. while doing my own read-in on the epstein saga at the miami "herald" website under heading perversion of justice, i noticed reminders spaced throughout the series listing all the work that had gone into it and urging readers to buy subscriptions to support investigative journalism like this. the solicitation was a reminder that there is great investiga investigative journalism all around us, but it is in jeopardy. it is the reason after all why the mueller record didn't generate more of a reaction upon its release. we had heard it all before. mainly from reporting in the "washington post," "new york times" and cnn. but here is the thing. many newspapers are no longer able to undertake this kind of journalism especially on a local level. the shift of ad revenue has come at the 1k3e7bs of old fashioned investigative reporting that has

not been adequately replaced by electronic sites. a 2018 study found that 36% of the daily newspapers that they studied had gone through major layoffs and that newsroom staffs dropped by 15% between the years 2014 and 2017. and a 2018 unc study show that had between 2004 and 2018, the number of local newspapers decreased by nearly 1800. in addition, 200 counties in the united states are currently operating without any newspaper at all. every time newspapers layoff reporters or shutter, the public loses the opportunity to shine a light on high school conduct in the public sphere. one recent closing, the youngstowndicator that wi cease for financial reasons. the first american city without a newspaper. the director of communication

and public relations for youngstown city schools wrote this in the "washington post" -- without the vindicator, no one will report on the board's performance, no one will call the school board on it if the members try to go into executive session to talk about something that they should discuss publicly, no one will ask for a copy of the contract with the new company that is providing teacher professional development for the district or of the latest hire. no one will dissect school taxes called levies in ohio, explaining how much they will cost the taxpayer, why they are necessary or how they will be used. there will be a void. and it will be the public that suffers. well, she is right. just consider the past few winners of the pulitzer praise. l.a. times singled out for exposing a gynecologist who violated hundreds of women. 2018, "washington post" recognized for its reporting on a senate candidate roy moore and

his alleged sexual harassment of teenage girls. 2017, the gazette mail that reported on the opoid epidemic this west virginia. and 2016, tampa bay times and sarcoidosis herald were recognized for exposing violence and neglect in florida mental hospitals. without newsrooms, staffed with people like julie brown, victims like those of jeffrey epstein arguably wouldn't get justice. and we need to continue to support their efforts. up ahead, who might be the biggest secret fwhep hein helpi president trump get reelected? according to peggy noonan, it is alexandria ocasio-cortez. i'll explain. that's what happens in golf nothiand in life.ily. i'm very fortunate i can lean on people, and that for me is what teamwork is all about. you can't do everything yourself. you need someone to guide you and help you make those tough decisions, that's morgan stanley.

they're industry leaders, but the most important thing is they want to do it the right way. i'm really excited to be part of the morgan stanley team. i'm justin rose. we are morgan stanley. on a john deere x300 series mower. run with us. because seasons may change but true character doesn't. wow, you've outdone yourself this time. hey, what're neighbors for? it's beautiful. nothing runs like a deere™. run with us. search "john deere x300" for more. content on their endless quest, to nowhere.s, run hopelessly in their cage. but perhaps this year, a more exhilarating endeavor awaits.

is the go. 's s gop's secret weapon alexandria ocasio-cortez? that is the theory posited by peggy noonan in a piece that is currently number one on the "wall street journal" website. any come to bury biden not to praise him, she says aoc has been destructive to her party's

chances in 2020, she is a one woman committee to reelect the president. she sights she sites her push to the left. could this divisiveness lead president trump to victory? joining me to discuss is former maryland congressman john delaney. so congressman, did peggy noonan get it right? >> i think she got it more right than wrong. listen, i think president trump is the worst president of our lifetime. and it is incredibly important that we defeat him in 2020. and these efforts to push the party too far to the left or the efforts to divide the democratic party just put him on a glide path for re-election. >> here is something that peggy n new mnoonan wrote. it is that in doing these dramatic things they will fully broken through and made their work.

in their fame, they altered the face and feel of the party into something that appears more radical and accusatory, more hard left. is that how you would describe it? >> well, there is definitely -- look it, i'm running against two dozen people. many of them have moved very far to the left. they are talking about things like making private insurance illegal, or writing off all the student debts in our country. things that don't make any sense. they are impossible promises, pie in the sky ideas. we have to be running on real solutions that solve problems affecting everyday americans and we need to become a big tent party. that is how we took back the house in 2018. we took back the house with 40 great moderate candidates who flipped seats that were held by republicans to democrats. that is the lesson that we need to apply to 2020. so i think what ao xrchlt c is d bernie sanders and to some excellent elizabeth warren, they are pushing the party very far

to the left. there is definitely energy for that in the primary. but that doesn't represent where most americans are. you know, that is not how you win general locations. as someone who has won a tough general location when my congressional district went for a republican who was at the top of the ticket by big margins, i know what it is like to be in these districts. you have to run in the center. you have to run on solving problems, bringing people together. focusing on policies that big majorities of the american people support. you have to be a pragmatic ideal li idealist but be realistic on how you can get them done. >> but you don't -- >> i think to calling nancy pelosi a racist? that is crazy. >> but you don't get to stand for a general election unless you can survive this gauntlet. so as to who is out of step, you or aoc, isn't the argument you

for the primary and nomination process and her for the general election season? >> if you break the if you break it down, and you compare to the iowa caucus or new hampshire primary, i think what i'm running on is much more in step with the iowa caucus and the new hampshire primary where you get a broad spectrum of democrats represented and participating. the social media primary, which is actually what's happening now, and in many ways, the dnc has encouraged this social media primary with the requirement for online donors and has oriented everyone towards that, that is not representative of where the democratic party is. i really don't believe that, michael. i think most democrats self-identify as people who want solutions, want us to work together, want us to make progress, want common sense main street solutions to all of these big issues that the american people are facing, whether it's health care and jobs or climate

change, whatever the case may be, the fiscal trajectory of this krcountry. they want people with real ideas, solutions, they want workable ideas. they want us to tell people how we're going to pay for them and how we're going to get it done. and i think what's going on right now is there are certain members of our party who are trying to divide the party, who are calling out moderates and saying they don't really represent who the party is while in fact they are the path forward. right? that's how we took back the house. i think it's actually very dangerous and it actually, as i said, puts the president on a potential glide path to reelection. and it's not where most democrats are, so i just think that's what this primary in many ways is all about is finding the soul of the democratic party. >> congressman john delaney, thank you for coming back. >> thank you, michael. still to come, your best and worst tweets and facebook comments, and we will give you the final result of the survey question. this is your last shot to vote before i give the result.

anticipating. let's see what it is. oh, my god. okay 19,029, what a knuckle head i am. the yeses have it, which makes my point even more. i talked about this on radio, and i was really surprised. i anticipated that people would say, hey, he can't do that. and the audience on the radio was very very divided. i'm shocked, i must say. i'm going to leave that question up through the weekend. time for one more if we have it. so much for my prediction. smerconish, are you seriously suggesting that a female reporter bring a colleague with her to avoid her being alone with a candidate. sexist. i didn't suggest that at all. you read too much into the question. i'm here to ask provocative questions. and i will see you next week. names you'll never know. the bright-eyed, the brave, the visionaries.
