about your us project, the indivisible project, what is that all about? election in r the 2016, my wife and i were going through the stages of grief lake lot of progressives trying to figure out what we could do in this brave new world and we were former congressional staffers who worked on capitol hill. thenrk as things were back we saw this bright light of coming around throughout the country. we can tell folks how congress works. fy on their two senators and one representative in their on e communities and then suddenly these individual chapters forming. in every single district. it's an organization that we just to dly set up support those groups on the ground. >> how have you been active in we've seen that is so far, the doug jones election 2017.ther elections in >> in virginia, we had a team on the ground helping the groups in behind candidates, egister people to vote, in alabama, indivisible auburn, montgomery, all of these groups there and we had a few folks on the ground helping. fundamentally, it is in part about what we're doing to support the

erned guest: indivisible is very individual from the democratic party. we are just outside of the structure. we think that's important, know, part of the battle is ensuring that it isn't rubber stamped by republicans. the other battle is making sure democrats stand up for progress ive values. we see a lot of our members with areor two senates who democrats. sometimes they are cheering them on. sometimes they say, hey, i want to see you fight harder against agenda.p host: headlines after the shut down last week. what was the indivisible project view of the shutdown last week? and how it was resolved? guest: yeah, when we're thinking about the shutdown, you are to think how did we get there? the answer is that trump unilaterally chose to end the da ca program. he did it in september. congress had the chance in september whether or not to push back on trump. not to.se republicans have been in line not reinstating the daca program. it is up to democrats to say no. back in september they said we're not going to put up the fight now. to use the leverage in dec

which i pioneered twenty years ago by looking at the combined indian ocean pacific region as an indivisible combined strategic theater and the u.s. is now seeing that as well it's looking at a new alliance structure in that area not just with ns us with a stranger in new zealand but also with japan and india so looking at this new quadripolar tight strategic alliance structure for the endeavor civic the u.s. is back in the in day pacific and that's its major realm and the may just routine millet and military competition will be necessary to balance china's massive upgrade certainly the u.s. cannot ignore the major advances in quality technology and performance of the russian armed forces that's a fact of life every country which is in the international arena has to take that into account so that's that's very normal but this is not a hostile defense posture towards russia or even for that matter towards china but it does serve notice that the united states will start to rebuild its capabilities in ways which it once lived in. well gregory de facto according to this new document that has bee

welcome to worlds apart indivisible security in europe has been a diplomatic talking point for decades but the lack of agreement on what it means or how to bring it about has contributed to a number of conflicts including the one in ukraine has the violence in effectively buried the idea of security for all or has it on the country and made it more viable to discuss that i'm now joined by thomas browning the new secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe mr graham and your think you are very much for your time it's been roughly since month since month since you accepted the position pledging to reinvigorate the organization to specifically focus on dialogue and reviving trust. i wonder if the practical reality of the past six months has perhaps. i think. assumed this office i knew very valuable. expecting me. five familiar bits you know you see. one of my previous job so i was this permanent representative. to the u.n. here you know for five years i chaired the permanent council in two thousand and fourteen. i chaired it then we started the crisis in a

there is that energy that we see in the streets, the indivisible groups, all these swing left and grassroots groups that come up. it's one thing to protest in the streets, another one to cast ballots. >> that's what the democrats will need to motivate that base, that explains why the shutdown politics we're seeing today are playing out the way they are. democrats decided the immigration issue is crucial. and that's why they decided the shutdown could be worth it. the challenge for republicans in california, they're having a tough time fielding candidates but the second problem is, in the districts where republicans could potentially hold on, for example in southern california, you have very competitive races between republicans. so if you have a crowded primary, that will make it difficult hold on to those seats. >> and you now have former governor arnold schwarzenegger, they have an organization to try to save the state republican party. too little too late? >> i don't think it's too little too late. i think republican party needs a brand independent of donald trump in california. i don't k

what happened to indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all? keyword being "all." what you mean you are shutting down? that's ridiculous. what you mean a 19-year-old military guy is not going to get paid, has to get up at 5:00 in the morning, go fix a tank or whatever. when i was in the air force, i had to get up at 5:00 in the morning, but on my uniform, go do my job, stand up for america. if you want to say what you want, that's all right as an american citizen, but for you to say you're going to shut down the government -- am i not going to have to pay taxes? for my taxes shutdown? am i going to get a refund this time, that the six-figure guys are not working? that's ridiculous, man. it's all this division. i could care less about what trump says or what he does. he's another guy with a bunch of money in the bank, and is the president. big deal. he's not going to change my life. i want to get up in the morning, go to work, do my job to the best of my ability, and take care of my family. all of this ridiculousness, we are getting divided and we don't even see it.

so you have planned parenthood, indivisible, which is been proven important, dozen of groups. women began to form groups% their own, a modern--day uniting of a consciousness raising group called huddles that went on across the country. and then women decided i'm going to run for office because it's not enough to march. i i need to power to make changes. that's why you're seeing this focus by many disparate groups. >> i look at how many women have signed up to run for the first time. we're talking about 390 women looking at house seats in the midterm elections, 49 seeking senate seats as well. a lot of women determining they want to go into politics as a result of all this. what's the apparatus like that made that possible? how similar or "r" their stories? >> i think what's great is you have people from emily's list who have reporting being deluged with calls and they started training and helping them get resources because it demands money, and they're getting it. i talked to the center for responsive politics and they said money is flowing to women who are running. so they're
