i. was cut out the touch . please help students to make sure that they. please help students to make sure that their costume is not offensive to any racial athlete or really just group any people with disabilities team is not offensive to

any racial athlete or really just groups any people with disabilities or illnesses or any other group of people. these illnesses or any other group of people. you don't want to say i'm going to wear these to purposely mock you or more quote your. you don't want to say i'm going to wear these to purposely mock you or more quote your culture stands for but i think there's a difference between that and telling your students wearing a sombrero culture stands for but i think there's a difference between that and telling your students wearing a sombrero with a mustache is somehow racist. or with a mustache is somehow racist. thank .

you. and a little earlier on i put this. and a little earlier on i put this issue of offensive costumes up for discussion why i think that you have to be says she with offensive costumes up for discussion. well i think that you have to be sensitive to the actual group that people are dressing up as rather than listen sort of to the actual group the people are dressing up as rather than listening to ourselves we should listen to the group that's being dressed up and i think this needing to ourselves we should listen to the group that's being dressed up and i think that that's so important thing and we have to stop being so sensitive i mean i've been told before that me mayor that's so important thing and we have to stop being so sensitive i mean i've been told before

that me mayor wearing a make america great again had is offensive so where do we draw the line i think wearing a make america great again had is offensive so where do we draw the line i think that's where we have a very clear problem kids universities professors big think that's where we have a very clear problem kids universities professors they don't have to be tone deaf and they can actually listen to the actual group and listen from them don't have to be tone deaf and they can actually listen to the actual group and listen from them actually what's offensive or not offensive and i think that's the right way to approach these you know if somebody is offended actually what's offensive or not offensive and i think that's the right way to approach these you know if somebody is offended i think you should have to need to try to be sensitive and not offend people but i don't know how this is got i think you should have to need to try to be sensitive and not offend people but i don't know how this is so far on these college campuses that now we're going to call people out on so far on these college

campuses that now we're going to call people out on how wayne talk about ruining the holiday so i think that you can go too far away and talk about ruining a holiday so i think that you can go too far in terms of something that's offensive and divisive even for a killer in terms of something that's offensive and divisive even for a comedian so i think you just got to thread the needle and you got to be respectful what scares me about this media and so i think you just got to thread the needle and you got to be respectful. what scares me about this topic is i feel like when we just say ha we caught him and we have college topic as i feel like when we just say ha we caught him and we have college students talking about what's offensive we really don't even know where the guidelines are anymore because we're talking about what's offensive we really don't even know where the guidelines are anymore because we're living in this p.c. culture that sometimes really doesn't make a lot of sense let's talk specifically being in this p.c.

culture that sometimes really doesn't make a lot of sense let's talk specifically hollowing so if it was a person wants to dress up as freddy krueger no problem they simply halloween so if it was a person wants to dress up as freddy krueger no problem they stick on you know the appropriate attire what if they want to be someone like. you know the appropriate attire what if they want to be someone like. i think is tony told was the. you know a black man if you want to just think is tony told was the. you know a black man if you want to just play a famous black you know horror 'd character how on earth would a famous black you know horror character how on earth would people in the sunday war without the visual clue i would probably just stay away from people in the sun to you war without the visual clue i would probably just stay away from it because you have to yourself the question is the squeeze worth the juice for example so because you have to yourself the question is the squeeze worth the juice for

example so i wanted to play michael jackson would i be in trouble for and how do i want to play michael jackson would i be in trouble for and how do i dress up in that kind of costume you know i wish we could just embrace people for who they are and it weeks up in that kind of costume you know i wish we could just embrace people for who they are and that we could not have the racial division that we have in this country and i've been told before that it's really could not have the racial division that we have in this country and i'd be. i told before that it's really easy for me to say that sitting back is not carte kasian woman in america easy for me to say that sitting back is not carte kasian woman in america but you know for me i think the more emphasis we place on race and the more we talk about you know for me i think the more emphasis we place on race and the more we talk about the division the harder it is to come together and i look forward to a day in america about the division the harder it is to come together and i look

forward to a day in america where we can embrace everybody for who they are and hopefully be able to kind of take race where we can embrace everybody for who they are and hopefully be able to kind of take race out of the equation and hopefully we can find a way around it because now out of the equation and hopefully we can find a way around it because now that we're censoring hollowing caution is it doesn't look like it's getting much better. now that we're censoring hollowing caution is it doesn't look like it's getting much better. you a slower house is voted in favor of formally proceeding with the. u.s. lower house has voted in favor of formally proceeding with the impeachment inquiry of president trump is expected to move the process from closed door hearings to a world statement inquiry of president trump is expected to be the process for closed door hearings to open ones that was opposed by all the republicans in the house despite the criticism of the democrats that he was opposed by all the

republicans in the house despite the criticism of the democrats keeping the doors of inquiry hearing shots to this point. to the doors of inquiry hearing shots to this point. shameful to create a constitutional crisis for purely partisan reasons this is so vague a constitutional crisis for purely partisan reasons this is soviet style rules when only one person has the right to call witnesses and it style rules when only one person has the right to call witnesses and as we saw just the other day the chairman was literally directing and as we saw just the other day the chairman was literally directing the witness to not answer certain questions by the republicans the witness to not answer certain questions by the republicans what kind of fairness is that is like a colt these what kind of fairness is that is like a colt these are

a verdict without giving the administration a chance to mount a defense political analyst charles will turn out giving the administration a chance to mount a defense political analyst charles orto believes that the democrats' impeachment plan is doomed. this is verse a belief that the democrats impeachment plan is doomed. this investigation i apologize for using this analogy but it's still born i mean you cannot under the mc geisha apologize for using this analogy but it's still born i mean you cannot under the american legal system my understanding you can't start an illegitimate inquiry where you derreck a legal system my understanding you can start an illegitimate inquiry where you deny due process rights the qs you just derive the neither right to deny due process rights the qs do you just derive the neither right to the the accused to defend himself to confront witnesses to know indeed who the accuser is the the accused to defend himself to confront witnesses to know indeed who the accuser is

do that for a whole bunch of weeks and then say well i ignore what i did do that for a whole bunch of weeks and then say why ignore what i did even though it's all outside the constitution now we're going to as for approval and maybe we'll even though it's all outside the constitution now we're going to as for approval and maybe we'll try to sort of do it the right way you can't do that under our system without trampas improve the try to sort of do it the right way you can't do that under our system without trampas improve the economy united states enormously in the standing of this country around the world to try to get him out of autonomy united states enormously in the standing of this country around the world to try to get him out of office on a minor truck as it were trumped up technicality which i don't even think of office on a minor truck as it were trumped up technicality which i don't even think rises to the level of a high crime is not a winning process this is i think a proceed rises to the level of a high crime is not

a winning process this is i think a procedural mess for the democrats i don't think they're going to win the vote to improve the mess for the democrats i don't think they're going to win the. vote to impeach and secure a conviction by the end of the year no way and i see nothing but egg on face each and secure a conviction by the end of the year no way and i see nothing but egg on face unless they know something about trump's conduct that has not yet been revealed is unless they know something about trump's conduct that has not yet been revealed to the public. and with the impeachment probe threatening to stop donald trump from stunned to the public. and with the impeachment probe threatening to stop donald trump from standing for reelection next year the race to become the democratic presidential candidate is also fighting for reelection next year the race to become the democratic presidential candidate is also far from certain the gap between the front runners is narrowing and many voters still to make of them are from certain the gap between the front runners is narrowing and many voters still to make up

their minds. primary decides alive after all your conscience. primary decides a lot after all your conscience would never enter a minute even consider straight you there's a lot of confusion with the democrats there never a minute even consider straight to there's a lot of confusion with the democrats they're all trying to one up each other for more than 3 years the democrats have been all trying to one up each other for more than 3 years the democrats have been chomping at the bit for a presidential election what they want is to put the unraveling chomping at the bit for a presidential election what they want is to put the unraveling and embarrassment of 2016 behind them and take another whack at beating the donald and embarrassment of 2016 behind them and take another whack at beating the donald more than a year away from the vote democrats are beating the drum of party unity and standing more than a year away from the vote democrats are beating the drum of party unity and

standing together against donald trump one thing all of the democrats could agree on the issue of him people together against donald trump one thing all of the democrats could agree on the issue of impeachment is reviewing a united front against president the next leader is going to have to be chairman is reviewing a united front against president the next leader is going to have to be one among those democrats that can unite us all we must elect the one among democrats that can unite us all we must elect a democratic president of the year 9 and. a democratic president of the year 9 and. now you would think that defeating a president to trade on t.v. as the orangemen it now you would think that defeating a president to trade on t.v. as the orange menace wouldn't be so difficult but reality does not always match expectations wouldn't be so difficult but reality does not always match

expectations now the 1st presidential primary is the famous iowa caucuses now before the 1st presidential primary. is the famous iowa caucuses now before the debates over the summer 21 percent of iowa's voters were undecided but now debates over the summer 21 percent of iowa's voters were undecided but now that number has gone up to 29 percent bad trend but why that number has gone up to 29 percent bad trend but why well perhaps the number of candidates in the race has got them on the fence and the race does just keep getting lost the number of candidates in the race has got them on the fence and the race does just keep getting larger at this point you've got billionaire tom styer who just threw his hat into the ring we are joined at this point we've got billionaire tom styer who just threw his hat into the ring we 3 months out from iowa and we thought that there would be a loss of indecision but he's definitely harder than we would have been 3 months out from iowa and we thought that there would be

a loss of indecision but he's definitely harder than we would have expected no question i see something that has to be true if i'm going to win on it is true expected no question i see something that has to be true if i'm going to win and it is true now the democratic leaders realize that the debacle of 2016 through a lot of now the democratic leaders realize that the debacle of 2016 through a lot of voters either to tromp or to just stay home on election day so they're prepping the u.s. voters either to tromp or to just stay home on election day so they're prepping the u.s. public not to do the same thing this year they even have a catchy slogan vote blue no public not to do the same thing this year they even have a catchy slogan vote blue no matter who you can get a pin a t. shirt and even a pillow inscribed with the message matter who you can get a pin a t. shirt and even a pillow inscribed with the message but the question is will it work we decided to ask new yorkers what they think i think you should the question is will it work we

decided to ask new yorkers what they think i think you should vote for the right person after you've done all of your research for your conscience vote for the right person after you've done. all of your research have to vote your conscience not nuts not a group think the choice i can understand why blue no matter who. it's not a group think the choice i can understand why blue no matter who is a little bit off you know the primary decides a lot pay attention to the primary a little bit off you know the primary decides a lot pay attention to the primary pay attention to all the research and it should go the right way i think their message is pay attention to all the research and it should go the right way i think their message is quite coherent it's current administration and nothing more i haven't seen as quite coherent it's current administration nothing more i haven't seen anything more i think their message is pretty clear and they win with that maybe it's a more i think their message is pretty clear and they win with that maybe maybe

it's i think it's possible now compare those answers here in the democratic party stronghold of maybe it's i think it's possible now compare those answers here in the democratic party stronghold of new york to the answers from pennsylvania a swing state that was pretty decisive in new york to the answers from pennsylvania a swing state that was pretty decisive in winning the white house for trump i definitely feel you should vote for the person like in winning the white house for trump i definitely feel you should vote for the person like a fool i'm not i'm not in touch any parties were never in our mind to even consider voting straight to i'm not i'm not in touch any parties were never in our mind to even consider voting straight ticket it is the individual that matters i've never really been the type of person that it is the individual that matters i've never really been the type of person that says you know vote straight party lines because you don't know what you're getting them because there's a lot of confessed says you know vote straight party lines because you don't know

what you're getting them because there's a lot of confusion with the democrats they're all trying to one up each other there are a zillion ating allusion with the democrats they're all to. trying to one up each other there is only an aiding a large percentage i think of the group they used to vote for that the democratic party or percent i think of the group they used to vote for that the democratic party's message is like. it's too much like divisive and they're not really his message is like. it's too much like divisive and they're not really thank you 9 together to make one strong candidate that there's such a big push to just get off thank you 19 together to make one strong candidate that there's such a big push to just get donald trump out of office and if no one can form a strong enough opinion to vote from a chump out of office and if no one can form a strong enough opinion to vote for one person it will kind of end up like last election journalist dan was there says or one person it will kind of end up like

last election journalist dan was there says that sometimes democrats can be their own worst enemy is there a potential do that sometimes democrats can be their own worst enemy is there a potential divide in the democratic party that could hurt them in november oh sure the risk that the democratic party is it died in the democratic party that could hurt them in november oh sure the risk that the democratic party is it's too big it's so big it's not stable it has or has a centrist wing went by it's too big it's so big it's not stable it has or has a centrist wing web by hillary clinton essentially and it has a left wing a quasi see hillary clinton essentially and it has a left wing a quasi socialist wing by bernie sanders and there's an immense gulf between those 2 camps socialist wing by bernie sanders and there's an immense gulf between those 2 camps and the party really can't accommodate both those wakes us and

the party really can't accommodate both those wings so if there's a house divided against itself jabbered is essentially the only one out there so if there's a house to. to get himself jabbered is essentially only one out there of speaking out forcefully against the hillary clinton agreed speaking out forcefully against the hillary clinton aggressive foreign policy of regime change and wars of aggression the rest of foreign policy of regime change and wars of aggression now the democratic national committee is now saying that they're going to use the slogan vote blue no matter how the democratic national committee is now saying they're going to use the slogan vote blue no matter who is that strategic for them is that going to help them. i suppose it will help who is that strategic for them is that going to help them. i suppose it will help them to a degree i don't know but i think overall if you will if it's the wrong candidate a lot of you will want them to a degree i don't know but i think overall if you go if it's the wrong candidate

a lot of you will wind up staying home now if you watch the coverage of the 2016 election the media almost of scared of staying home now if you watch the coverage of the 2016 election the media almost obscured the fact that it was a 2 way race they made it almost a referendum on donald trump's latest the fact that it was a 2 way race they made it almost a referendum on donald trump's latest outrageous comments now at this point many people are asking if the democrats outrageous comments now at this point many people are asking if the democrats would be better off giving voters something to vote for rather than just someone to vote against would be better off giving voters something to vote for rather than just someone to vote against we'll have to see what happens over the course of the next 12 months they look up and we'll have to see what happens over the course of the next 12 months they look up and r.t. new york. because remember to new york.
