and how donald trump is not initiated any new wars fox news cuts it all out for an interview with john jr we have moved. a human and labor rights lawyer down kovalchuk believes the war isn't so intertwined into the existence of the u.s. the you carpool about pace it did it because there is so much of a consensus in this country about the rightness of of us warfare are brought to the media that is very much. in lockstep with both parties and supporting american intervention abroad i think it's very much of the d.n.a. of this country and its very very hard thing to fight against the media might embrace other social justice issues. but the idea of speaking out against u.s. war even when prosecuted by unpopular president like truck is just not acceptable in the united states it is the one saying we're saying. institution the warfare institution the military industrial complex which president eisenhower warned about the nikkei it these and he didn't even see that but as it existed. across talks next on the international thrashing out whether american civil unrest is more down to the race 30 mi

. >> we'll see tonight in the way they present john jr. one of the things that was for me, i remember at the 2016 rnc donald trump jr. got up and gave a speech that was a totally sort of normal republican speech as if they were setting him up as tin hea the inheritor of the political era. it was interesting. it will be interesting tonight to see if he's still giving normal republican-like speeches. >> what they say means less than who they are. four years ago paul manafort was the chairman of the enterprise. mike flynn led lock her up. you know, almost got locked up. don jr. is one of the last remaining redacted sections because he either lied to mueller or took the fifth. eric trump has been subpoenaed by the new york ag. they are different people than they were. and what they say, an open question about this convention is is it just the that of them. the that is that they will all show up this week. or are voters, the ones that voted for him last time interested in what has transpired in the last three and a half or are they just frozen i

senate committee referred for criminal investigation five close associates, including trump's son, john jr jared kushner, on the suspicion that they lied to the committee as first reported by "the washington post." now, all of this is new information. but here's what's not. president trump almost never having a bad word to say about vladimir putin, not even over bounties on u.s. troops. and we'll see what accusations are offered up by the upcoming durham report, much hyped by barr and trump. but senate republicans signed off on the facts of this exhaustive report. and truhe results are clear. the trump campaign's russia connections were real. russia's interfering in this election as well and the report condemns it. but make no mistake, trump's real russia hoax was the one he tried to perpetrate on the american people. and that's your reality check. >> our thanks to john avlon for that very helpful look. meanwhile, president trump delivering a stark warning to the american people and president obama, he's the one that's delivering the rebuke of the sitting president. highlights from the dem

jr. and john. not posing as a working farmer himself, he has a wide knowledge of agriculture, understands farm problems and enjoys discussing them with his neighbors. as governor, he has taken vigorous action in giving constant aid to farmers in their fight to improve livestock and crops. during the war and since, governor dewey's food commission has helped farmers increase production and fight food shortages. york, deweyof new has won his place among american political leaders through his record of good government during the past six years. for the great state of new york with its normally diversified areas ranging from sparsely centered rural districts to the world's number one metropolitan center, it is almost a nation in itself. the job of governing it is second only to the president of the night states. by running his state with so much division see that he was able to increase services while cutting taxes, he won the confidence of the people of new york. he returned to albany for second term

this is what i really want to do satisfy jr. john was taken without warning after that his wife did not hear anything about him until his trial was announced more than 3 years later and she died i am very tense very nervous i could not sleep. on december 26th of 20181 trend john was charged with state subversion a serious offense and chandra levy was hoping to get a glimpse of him in court but again state security had gathered in front of the homes are you. now of the families trying to put these experiences behind them will take time for them to get back to a new mood life. yes gone followers will go are the after my release my son a die will very affectionate with each other at least on the surface for the estrangement is quite obvious. when i tell him something he opposes me he rebels this gives me a headache i feel embarrassed. i wanted to become closer to each other. right now one tonight has a lot of time to spend with his family of origin have evolved his voice license with music already planning to appeal and to sue the gover

i want to bring in john king jr., former u.s. secretary of education under president obama. now the president and ceo of the education trust. john, you can hear the desperation in those words. the safe school openings happen without national standards, without a national plan, without funding? what should we be doing differently? >> in part of what is so heartbreaking about a superintendent talking that way, it didn't have to be this way. the failure of the trump administration to adequately address the pandemic is how we got here. this isn't a school's issue, it is a society issue. we don't have testing. we don't have contract tracing. we don't have effective systems of quarantining. we don't have a national strategy around following the best science or public health. the consequences are being visited on schools now faced with this impossible decision. we have to protect the safety of kids and, yet, of course, educators know how harmful it is when kids are missing so much school. >> it seems like an impossible situation, and i say that not just as a journalist but as a pare

look, david, there is a great contrast between the peaceful civil rights protests of john lewis and martin luther king jrgs of the bible compared to these anarchists who are basing what they're doing on rebellion against the bible. burning down, burning bibles, burning american flags, burning down police stations. and, look, i'm not saying that all democrats support this kind of action. but, you know, there's a bible verse that says bad company corrupts good morals. and when the democrats hang around antifa and black lives matters and do not condemn these kind of anarchist activities, they are complicit in them by remaining silent about them. david: yeah. but, you know, it does intrigue me that there is this attempt, there was a black lives matter leader who, about a month ago, suggested that statues of jesus, if they look too white, should be torn down. i mean, it's just extraordinary. and, in fact, i'm hearing from pastors and some priests that it is happening, that the desecration of these statues of jesus and mary are being desecrated, torn down, and they're not talking about it much because they don
