foremost, peter issue had aens chance to tell you at the southwest book festival that you are one of the bessep if your good work. you opened up with trump and going to a better place or double down on the past. the fact is he gave himself speech in georgia reminding me of reagan when he gave his speech in mississippi. very twicesive and be know where we have gone since then. as i would just like to know if you have had a conversation with mr. coates as you both being contemporaries affection for mr. baldwin and how did it go and last the statement you made about mr. obama and you said you took some heat from it, it was a very pertinent statement and should have been made. could have been a little stronger because trying to obama had to see him through the lens of a kenyan american not an african-american because he didn't associate himself with slavery and so he had hopes and aspirations of making on to that great white boat with his oar, to discuss it and step away from his mixed past or parentage, and lastly, i think that going forward, you said on morning joe one time we're going to go to
