messages but the people receiving and how can we cover those people to beat the messages more critically well know ted t.'s man professor of democrats the at the university of birmingham thank you very much for the time my pleasure. now every african or remember this nigerian or at least his voice. is known for bringing a social message into his music oh a new generation of musicians is following in his footsteps the project voice to rap is helping young artists to get their voices head and encouraging listeners to get involved and go to the polls. rehearsal's are underway at the chocolate city music studios and. these ten young musicians were selected from over four hundred hopefuls to join the project voice to represent which mentors up and coming artists with the social message they've taken part in what shops aimed at promoting political engagement among young people . i say that it's important to always speak out. when you have. and i feel like after. this is going to be a great difference because the songs that i put out more conscious of it was spoken about but it's about different things and there's no better time to talk ab

s that have caught attention of people. > we have about seven minutes left. stratford. >> obviously democrats are in control of the house of representatives. top things e of the you're expecting to have year?ship bring up this ms. weingarten: so, look, we have to talk about fund our future. house leadership has brought billion like the $100 infrastructure bill in schools that i had the honor to of it in avor of -- testify in favor of this week. that would be a really important measure. we can get funds into schools, the less pressure on throughout the country, particularly rural areas that are still really suffering and have or seen the jobs come back other kinds of economic development come back. foufl -- if you focus on ied a and title 1 is the funding that is supposed to poor kids that lyndon johnson shepherded 50-some odd ago. if we actually got the money in those romised bills, in those laws, districts -- kids throughout the country $580 billion more right now, and that would mean a lot to districts. so we're focusing on a national level in terms of fund our future. have a ebody says we

part of the democratic party there clearly now is a split between people like him bernie sanders or alexander ocasio quirkiness or others who say they want socialism and are even used the s word as we call or we got democrats running further to the last but now we see republicans slinging further to the right they have gone so far left we have to go a little bit further right and they sure have we're going to expose the underdog in tatters that allow some of the truly well being to avoid paying their fair share what we need to do is to keep tax rates where they are. all across this great land how to think and maintaining and improving environmental quality we will also pursue an agenda of conservation protecting our beautiful natural resources for future american jewish family your children and lots of other people and we're going to ensure clean air and clean water for all of our people. the republican party is polarized as well but i wouldn't say it's necessarily to the right i would say it is to a populist direction and i think it's quite clear from has had a real influence on the party and making it a populist nationalist party but is that right wing in the worst sen

people lie s much? what are they lying about? >> can democratst -- me ask you this. i've thought about this. will democratst if they don't open an impeachment investigation? >> if we can have bill clinton impeacr obstruction of justice about a sexual affair, these are t thingsat could amount to treason against the united states. conspiracy. it's just, and democrats are often looking at the polls. whether or not it's going to be a winning case in the senate. something any republicans will get on. i thinkde n to watch mitt romney in utah. utah is a place where donald trump is not very popular. whether or not it succeeds, these are people that took an oa to the constitution. >> what is the unintended consequence if ty don't do that? >> aren't they afraid looking back at newt gingrich and what happened, that's the political argument. and that may be trumping everything else. >> and republicans will not fare well by whitewashing this investigation. or taking on mueller. hi reputation is impeccable. if he becomes a target, that will inure to our detriment. >> you can't fire a second attorney general in quickly.

one of the democrats point people on civil rights issues throughout the 1960's. he served three terms from indiana, he very conservative state then and now. he narrowly was elected in 1962, narrowly reelected in 1968, narrowly reelected in 1974, and finally gets crushed in 1980 by dan quayle who will later pop up as george h w bush's vice president. even though he was from a conservative state, he he took liberal positions. he was a democratic activist on constitutional issues. he is critical of haynesworth as well. he is worried that from the court, the result will be a string of anti-civil rights decisions. the striking thing about the haynesworth vote is not the kennedy opposition. it is we have all of these red dots on the rollcall chart. these are senate republicans who cast votes against haynesworth's confirmation. it's a time where we have conservative democrats and liberal republicans. the last republican to be elected to the u.s. senate from new jersey. his last election was 1972. a very liberal republican. more liberal than most democrats. jacob javits,

people. >> susan, the president called it presidential harassment s there a risk of democrats as scott said hands, overplaying this? especially if the special counsel mueller finds no significant -- he's found a lot. but no significant wrongdoing as it relates to the president on the president's part. >> absolutely. democrats have been conscious of this risk factor. they're aware of the risk factor. in an investigation like this, you have to have the appearance of process, process fairness, if you will, to convince people in both parties that there is something deliberative going on here, that there is real accountability being searched for. and no matter if you even have an end point in mind, even if you believe already that there is sufficient evidence of impeachable offenses, you can't talk about that on day one. that is the gotcha trap we've been living in for the last year. the democrats, should they talk about the i word? the answer, is of course not. because there is no passable way even if it appears once the evidence is produced that that's where they should go. nobody wants to be

people i anyhow. and with her strategic mind, let's wait to see what happens. >> what do you make of the democratic fight? these stories are growing, not going away. warren. 'sxas bar, she called herself an american indian. people say that might have been an affirmative action effort but it's not true. what do you make of it? >> when i look at senator warren, she hasn't come up with a koejant explanation that she ecan put all of this behind her. but i think each one of these candidates are going to be attacked and attacked quickly and the question is who gets up and can prove they're the ones that can take on donald trump. because if they think they're being charged now -- >> bobby kennedy used to say hang a lantern on your problem because they're going to point to it anyways. how does she hang a lantern on this problem of her identity? >> the value proposition is around economic security. i think more people are concerned about that than the past or ethnic identity she's struggle with. if she can penetrate through that, i wie ecan all benefit from that. >>ual said. let's get out of virginia. across the river. contraverse eys are causing the national democra

people from the s-hole countries as he called it. this has become the central defining issues that differentiate the two parties, and democrats want to speak with absolute moral clarity here, you saw it with senator gillibrand when al franken got in trouble. she spoke with clarity. they don't want any mistaking that they are on the right side of the issue. that is a central premise of the democratic party, that is a central point of contrast between the president and the republican party. and i think that's going to continue to be the fact. the best i've seen on this in the last 48 hours has been by governor hickenlooperer of colorado who said, this incident does not sum up who ralph northam is, but as a leader he cannot continue to lead, he has to resign. that's a perfect summary of how a lot of democrats view this situation. >> thank you all, i appreciate the discussion. >>> president trump hinting a big announcement on the border around next week's state of the union. we'll have details, stay with us. you're live in the cnn newsroom. . and we all rushed down to meet her... and we all became the rulers of the fairydom... nana?... w

s announcement. i welcomed the move in the direction the democrats have been arguing for. the only way to resolve the brexit issueis the only way to resolve the brexit issue is a people's vote in the european union. i have to say, what i have heard so far is very convoluted. they are creating an obstacle course before getting to a people's vote which is not helpful with a timeline which is not helpful with a timeline which has only a couple of weeks before our departure date. they should have done this a long, long time ago. jeremy corbyn has said a second referendum was potentially party policy. how is today different? as i understand it, they have moved to the point that once they have had a party policy put to a vote, the leadership will actually get behind a very clear proposition that we move to a people's vote which is aware the democrats and others have been for a long time. i do not think, if all, jeremy corbyn has ever got behind the people's vote and it looks like that on this occasion he will. i am holding my breath. i am occasion he will. i am holding my breath. iam not occasion he will. i am holding my breath. i am not confident he will deliver that it looks th

identifies more than a dozen instances in which democratic players in the russia scandal had contact with russian s and i'll just use one good example. a lot of peoplepher steele's primary source for all of the evidence he put in the dossier gave to the fbi was a retired russian intelligence operative very important for people to know. he took information from russia, as a foreign agent himself a britt gave it to the fbi the fbi gave to the court even though it was unverified and that's how he launched this investigation so the article goes to a dozen of those sort of contacts and what you're seeing as the evidence of russia collusion by donald trump dissolves into what it was a political dirty trick. the evidence of the democrats working the russians to influence the elections are starting to grow. maria: i understand that, then why is it that the democrats have been so successful in this narrative of donald trump has dealt with the russians. >> yeah, well there was a lot of media histeria. let's go back to the early 2017 all those front page stories in the washington post and new york times cnn i think we'll look back at history and look at those
