let me ask you that, chris lou. >> that the exa's exactly right.s a set of policy propels every candidate has to put out. as i said, there is a sense of empathy. you have to understand the struggles of these communities. you have to understand how the words of bigotry that come out of the mouth of this president, the disportionly affect people of color and historically oc oppress oppressed, you can have the policy proposals and they can do good things but you have to fundamentally understand the struggles of those communities, that's a bar each candidate will have to reach. >> cleve, i understand you can hear me now. >> fine. >> i was saying and chris answered it but i want your view, at convention last week, i raised questions to each of the candidates that specifically dealt with their policy. not empathy, policy. when it comes to criminal justice more health care or reparations specifically around the race gap of the disadvantaged that blacks suffer in those areas. blacks don't just want to hear sound byte, they want to hear a specific commitmen

economy as well for analysis we turn to our man chris lou former deputy secretary of labor and former white house cabinet secretary during the obama administration he joins us from seattle washington hi chris what do you make of all of us. well look the goal of trying to pressure the venezuelan government makes complete sense i'm not sure this is the exact way to do it are it will have a negative impact on our trading alliances with both your up in canada it could potentially spur retaliation against u.s. companies both in terms of their relations their trail ations with those areas as well as u.s. companies that are already doing business in cuba so to me this feel like get. another effort by this administration to try to and wind up an important policy that was done by the obama administration and it's also a way to ratchet up trade pressures and so this doesn't strike me as the best way to accomplish their larger policy goal he seemed to be against cuba don't you think so. yeah well you know it's hard to tell whether that's based on a philosophical opposition to the government ther

joining me now to discuss trump's intent to stone wall, chris lou. there's a way in which he has kind of gotten away with this. he has normalized even though it's so insane. since becoming president, what was the standard operating procedure in the obama white house? >> let's not even take that but go lathe way back. every president going back to richard nixon has put forward their tax returns. so that's something that routinely happens during a campaign, you put that out. >> once you become president it seems very important you release taxes if you are abiding by the law. >> the press would dissect it to see how much you gave to charitable contributions, that is a standard practice. >> if the idea here is that you're under audit and can't do it, every president has a sort of special process, generally. the irs runs them through a, quote, audit and they all did that. >> exactly right. and he's not under audit every single year of his tax returns that are sitting out there. now, don't get me wrong, this is an important job. is it the most important jo

joining me this hour, mya wiley, phillipe ryanist, adrian elrod, and chris lou.e start with you. get your perspective on the waffling, on the back and forth. the about faces that we saw here over the course of the last week, one has to have some sympathy for members of the caucus trying to find their footing this week. >> i have very little sympathy for anyone on capitol hill. but here is the situation, david. this is a clown show, right? nothing is getting done. instead of legislating, republicans are scrambling to mitigate whatever trump is going to pontificate on or decide that day. ultimately what this means for 2020 is how does this impact trump's re-election chances? traditionally, we would say that if you don't have policies to deliver to your base, then you would lose. but we're dealing with a very unconventional situation in the sense that trump's space is anywhere from 30% to 35% of the american electorate and they're not going to leave him no matter what happens. so the real question is, if he doesn't have any deliverables to give to his base, to give
