you look at the guy behind him, in suits and ties, and pressley isn't like him, he doesn't dress likem, doesn't sing. his whole affect is completely different. that was a cultural revolution. spreeng steen at that moment said, that's what i want to be. i have things enunesiation moment. something that happens in life that prefigure all the rest. for einstein when he was 4 his dad gave him a compass and he saw the magnetic forces and thought, while, there are unreasonable forces in the universe. i want to study those, when he was 4. ian wilson, i talk in the book, a scientist when he was 7 saw his first jellyfish and saw the wonders of the ocean and game a naturalist at that moment. i am a lesser figure than them. at 7 i read a book called "paddinton bear" and wanted to become a writer. springsteen told his mom he wanted a guitar. it was hard. he was watching the "ed sullivan show" and saw the beatles and he picked up the guitar again and the rest is history. he had no plan b. he's been playing guitar since. brian: in my experience you are an elvis fan or beatles fan but never both. we

and here with me in the studio steven pressley from do you have even a set to where joining joins me now to dive a little deeper into this subject was this announcement a surprise i don't think so you know there is so much hesitancy on the part of so many stakeholders in this including the two banks themselves they really seem to drag their feet to sort of join their hands together at least for the talks there's so much political pressure around this and that's because it wasn't really a strategic merger that was being talked about these two banks didn't really need. each other didn't offer something one did offer something to the other that they didn't have it was more about a merger of survival it was really pushed by political establishment that believed that it needed to happen and so it really what it did was it actually united a considerable amount of people across both sides of the economic outlook spectrum from those on the left who said it's going to be devastating for job holders and to those on sort of the more economic liberal side who said you can't just put a gun to two

the culture shifted from elvis pressley to woodstock. we needed to go through that change.good for america. we have had 60 years of hyper individualism. now we are at a point where the individualism has torn us a part of the society and the bonds between us have grown weaker. brian: you say you change your mind about this in the book. individualism to being more interested in community. what happened during that period to change your mind? david: history solves problems of that moment. i can't remember, the social theorist who said history moves according to a ratchet, hatchet, pivot ratchet. we have to win world war ii and have a collective culture. it works for a while, but then it stops working. you have to chop it up. because people are ingenious, they pivot over and find something else. suddenly the problem is, society is to conformance. elvis gives us something new and we live more in his way. now we are at a point where we are chopping up hyper individualism of 60 years. some people are reverting to tribe as their attempt to find community. tribalism bonds people tog

along comes elvis pressley and says i am breaking this. the beatles were part of this.e breaking out of this. i'm going to create a culture that is about being myself. it is much more individualistic. much more open. it was cool to be young and not all. to be a rebel and not an institutionalist. to be expressive and not modest. the culture shifted from elvis pressley to woodstock. we needed to go through that change. it was good for america. we have had 60 years of hyper individualism. now we are at a point where the individualism has torn us apart in society and the bonds between us has weekend. -- weakened. brian: you say you change your mind about this in the book. individualism to being more interested in community. what happened during that period to change her mind? david: history solves problems of that moment. i can't remember, the social theorist who said history moves according to a ratchet, hatchet, pivot ratchet. we have to win world war ii and have a collective culture. it works for a while, but then it stops working. you have to chop it up. because people

we know that because barr chose to include the quote from robert mueller saying ex-pressley, this isot an exoneration. what do you make of that? >> you're right, chris. it's not at all surprising that there would be more in the report. it's 300 or 400 pages. you don't take that much to say nothing happened, move on. that's interesting to me. what joyce said is really important. prosecutors disagree with one another and disagree with agents and agents disagree with prosecutors all the time. this is an art, not science. two well intentioned people can come up with a different answer. that happens all the time. i'm not surprised that there is more. whey think will be interesting will be the arm chair quarterbacking after we see what that is. inevitably whether bill barr is right or wrong, he will be second-guessed vociferously given the fact that so much of the obstruction stuff is public facing stuff. we have seen it. recusals or calls for recusals and unrecusals and pashd ones and firings that are ob sfruktive behavior. whether or not it constitutes a crime remains to be seen. >> thre

the dccc says the policy is in place to protect all incumbents and congresswoman pressley says this could color and alexandria ocasio-cortez sakes it further urging people to sidestep the dccc. she tweeted if you're a small dollar donation pause your donations to the dccc and give directly to swing candidates instead. one way to get their attention. attack the money. it's interesting in the sense that you have the three new members who won by beating incumbents saying stop. let it be. let's just have it open, all incumbents, i assume they mean even themselves, let people challenge us. >> democrats are afraid of turning into republicans eight years ago when the tear party just started challenging left and right incumbent senators, incumbent house members and it really drove the republican reign as they were constantly afraid of the right flank. they want to put a stop to this now and in particular there are lots of older cbc members, congressional black caucus members, on the target list for the next generation democrats that want to primary people. >> if you're the capital "d" democratic

among those voting yes was massachusetts freshman democrat ayanna pressley, who told the story of her mother sandy, a domestic abuse survivor. >> let us reject the myth that strong women, bold women, independent women do not find themselves in the throes of violence at the hands of someone who claim to love them. got herselfy shero, in such an abusive relationship, one that threatened her physical safety, her sanity, chipped away and her dignity and her joy. amy: the house vote to reauthorize the violence against women act came despite opposition from the national rifle association, which objects to a provision that would take guns away from dating partners convicted of stalking or domestic violence. that provision faces an uphill fight in the repupublican-conontrolled senat, where opposition to closing the so-called "boyfriend loophole" runs high. president trump said thursday he plans to appoint godfathers pizza ceo herman cain to the board of the federal reserve. them an outstanding person, even if he dropped out of the 2012 race with three women accused him of sexual harassment wh

so people like maxine waters, ayanna pressley, and aoc are in safe seats. they can push harder. the bulk of the pickups in the house, something like 33 out of 40, were moderate democrats. they got elected because they said we don't do all this nonsense in washington. we do health care, we do immigration, things, economy. so those are the voices that really need to be heard in the caucus, even though some of the other ones -- so i think that's the divide. the divide is whether the prize is, everyone wants to hold the president accountable, whether the prize is removing him or retaking the senate, extending the majority in the house, and pushing through a progressive agenda. >> still, the questions are not going to cease all the way up to that point. that's why i think today is crucial to see if they get on the same page, if they can on message if not principle. we'll see. >> until then, the easter egg roll. great to see you, joe. thank you so much. >> coming up for us, a series of deadly bombings rips through churches and hotels on easter sunday. now, u.s. intelligence says the a

now we are learning today that two other freshman members, representative ilhan omar and an ayanna pressleyo this resolution. and that follows congresswoman ocasio-cortez who said she intends to sign on in light of the mueller report. so significant here that you have growing numbers on this freshman member of congress' impeachment resolution. and of course, that follows 2020 candidate elizabeth warren, who tonight spoke out for the first time, saying that impeachment proceedings should start on capitol hill. of course, impeachment talks really irks democratic leaders up here on capitol hill. they have been very eager to squash impeachment talk. they say they want to keep focus on investigations. they want to keep focused on their legislative priorities, and focus on the upcoming midterm elections in 2020 elections, so certainly, this refreshed and renewed push for impeachment, no doubt, will irk the democratic leaders. >> see how much momentum that gains. all right, sunlen. thanks very much. coming up, there's more trouble for top trump adviser, kellyanne conway. her husband, a very promin

resolution introduced by congressman thalib, beganing steam within democrats, ocasio-cortez and pressley the mueller report was made public. are they rushing to judgment? >> as i said, you can read this document and really see that i personally think that there's a lot of obstruction here. so i understand their move to try to impeach. i would just rather us take this next step, educate the american people, really get these details out. let the judiciary committee do its work. this is getting back to regular order, and letting the country start functioning normally through these processes that we've established, and we'll go from there. everyone's welcome to do what they want, and i feel the sentiment. >> let me ask you, sir, i hope you'll come back on a different weekend where we're not just all responding to the mueller report so we can talk more about your hopes as a candidate, bu of the reason you're running is because you represent a blue collar area of ohio.omis doing pretty well right now. how do you make a pitch to those vohahould with you or more broadly should go with a democrat

pressley, for five minutes. >> okay. thank you. all right. so when president johnson signed the fair housing act into law, he stated, and i quote, now with this bill, the voice of justice speaks again. it proclaims that fair housing for all, all human beings who live in this country, is now a part of the american way of life. housing is a human right. housing is a critical determinant of health, of economic opportunity, of social mobility. in my district, the massachusetts seventh and urban district that spans from cambridge to roxbury, housing and income disparities have led to a gap in median income of $50,000. as a result, the life expectancy rate drops from 92 years old in the back bay to 62 years old in roxbury. though the housing market has recovered from the 2007 recession, low-income minority communities are still recovering from being the victims of rampant foreclosures and predatory subprime lending. they still face barriers to home ownership. discriminatory practices with minority home ownership rates continuing to lag and our affo
