of muslim - status and position of muslim conservatives, i can recall one of the reasons that michael howard the son of immigrants felt this very strongly. it's the only thing he criticised david cameron for. for not sticking with this. the issue seems to have kept bubbling up at different stages. having had an inquiry, it must be slightly depressing to see this coming up yet again. it may notjust be the conservative party, it may be the labour party, it may be all the parties. society might have a problem with how it treats muslim in public life. what's your view on that? i public life. what's your view on that? 4' ., ., , ., that? i think there are a number of issues to unpick. _ that? i think there are a number of issues to unpick. it's _ that? i think there are a number of issues to unpick. it's quite - issues to unpick. it's quite complicated. unfortunately, the majority of british muslims go about their business and try and do their bestjust their business and try and do their best just as everyone their business and try and do their bestjust as everyone else. the problem is that they

how you how you manipulate that equation because more difficult, but it you know, michael howard made a great dad wrote some great stuff about and if you're fighting an existential war. the options available to decision makers become much more limited, but look at this the the moral way to go you would say would be as opposed to cover bombing would be precision by me. yeah, but precision bombing makes it easier for your bond. if you reluctant about bombing, no, no, we're going to bomb precision. oh, it's cheap, but he couldn't get a little trouble with monica lewinsky throws a couple of rockets here, right? you just can do it because it's precision bombing and you're not going to hurt anybody that that's a temptation that draws you into bombing and malcolm. that's a little yeah, i forgot about it. it's a little crazy. no that that malcolm mentions that that's also a point of michael davis book and virtual war. he says, you know, if we so you go to annihilation, you don't really think it out. if force a video game you're gonna do it. wars the video game and nobody gets hurt and there's

michael steele and howard dean are back with me. where i'm pointing is the former chair of the democratic party, former chair of the republican party. all right. i want to -- because you both were talking about how riffing off of what whip clyburn had to say, talk about the half full, talk about the stuff you got done. 6.4 million jobs added, american rescue plan right at the start of the administration, 200 million americans fully vaccinated, the bipartisan infrastructure law is now the law of the land. and a whole bunch of other stuff that the administration needs to be talking about more and more. but i got to go to something that the president said during his press conferences, marathon press conference. let's play it and i'll get you to talk about it on the other side. >> i did not anticipate there would be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that president biden didn't get anything done. think about this. what are republicans for? what are they for? name me one thing they're for. what is mitch

howard? he's changing michael. a-all done. you know, fun fac, did you know baby bos can pee straight up? grown-up boys, too. why would we high-five that? so how are you guys? bernadette: really good. except for when we went grocery shopping and the checkout lady asked when i was due. but you handled it wel. (mouthing) well, if you guys need help, i'd be happy to come over. oh, thanks, but we're really trying to enjoy this family time before we both go back to work. okay, well, we all miss you. -you guys, too. -bye. -(skype call ends) -ah. boy, seeing them all together like that has got my biological clock ticking like crazy.
