i want to talk about it now with steve cortes and max boot, author of "the corrosion of conservatism: left the right." steve, if president obama had called republicans treasonous, wouldn't people -- wouldn't republicans understandably be very upset? >> yes. and listen, anderson, i totally agree. you know how much i strenuously support the agenda of this president, but i'm no sycophant, and i don't like this rhetoric at all. it's over the top and uncalled for. he shouldn't be using a word like treasonous. i would remind the president that for the last two years he and supporters like me, we have all been aghast that the left continually accused him of treason, of being an agent that was beholden to a foreign power. that was a ludicrous and unfair smear. let's not mirror the tactics. let's not use the same kind of hyperbole in attacking the left. i totally conquer with the president on his policies on the border and totally conquer that the democrats do favor open borders, but let's leave treason as a term out of it. we don't need to reach always for the most extreme language possible t

cnn political commentators steve cortes and rob. they're both supporters of the president., i know you both well, if we get too loud, too hostile in having this discussion we will sound like what we are all supposed to hate. so let's keep it in check and make the points and i'll give you both ample opportunity. so steve, i start with you. i read your piece. we talked about this before. why do you believe the president said the right thing during charlottesville? >> well, i'll tell you, the main reason is because i can read and i have read the transcript. rather than believing in a fairy tale narrative, if we deal in the evidence and the transcript that was said it's impossible to determine anything except for his intention which is to totally condemn racism and i have to say the way you edited that segment that you showed just before that was misleading because you cut the quote off at a critical juncture. if you continue the quote, i want to cut directly here because i want to be precise. he said you had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of to

steve, there is a way forward, and that is that the ball is back in the pm's corte?. the only thing that has ever achieved a majority in parliament is achieved a majority in parliament is a withdrawal agreement with alternative arrangements to the backstop. that is a clear indication of what the pm wants to do, to go back to the eu and say, if you want to deal, you have to deal with the backstop issue. if she did that i think we would then be able to get a majority and move forward. that is not actually correct, because parliament has voted overwhelmingly know to no deal, and people will make that clear today i am sure of that. the question today is how can she get the alternatives to her deal through and get this dealt with. really, last night was about giving her options to do so. it has always been the case that if the pm wanted to sort this out she wouldn't be able to rely on the hardliners in her own party, and we need to resolve this in a cross—party fashion, and that was made abundantly clear last night.” fashion, and that was made abundantly clear last night.
