tension has been building. i think since election night the hyperball that vitriol from the left has spurred threats and now action without historical parallel events like today are exactly why we took issue with and why elites glorifying the assassination of a president now most americans liberal conservative or otherwise are not violent however it seems like the leaders of the two major political parties try to make the other half of the electorate look like they are and that seems to be mobilizing people in both camps if you want to start something. and demonize me and i don't you. do that was yes. thank you. thank you very much. that.
11:21 pm
was the united states has created a political system in a way to demonizing one side means supporting the other side for many voters those who haven't really learned that much about their party's yet the solution to this is to reduce some of these impediments to we need a system in which political parties have to fight for their own ideas they have to show why what they believe is a good wife the right watch an excellent idea. and not just focus on demonizing the other side so no matter what your political outlook is the best strategy seems to be the same generalizing. it will pop and artsy your. north korea house threatened to strike on war and washington as the risk of uncontrollable nuclear war plan ten day military trials between south korea and the us go ahead at the annual war games simulated military conflict with an isolated

used before and they all use results or absolutely important. i don't think north korea wants to risk a nuclear war i mean you have to be crazy to do so. crazy. and how us foreign policy sometimes goes against the wishes of the international community. when it comes to foreign policy it seems that trump is trying to twist the law. and to some of the most volatile international issues. there's fire and fury for north korea while the international community is calling for deescalation in the region trying to spouting some of the most aggressive rhetoric that's been heard in decades. and this man will not get away with what he's doing only they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never see kind of the escalation rest breaks suddenly doesn't solve the problem the solution
