rahm emanuel had an op-ed last sunday.i feel like rahm emanuel who used to work of course with you doubt the obama white house, former mayor of chicago, every three months or so he writes an op-ed begging democrats not to focus so much on identity politics, no one is listening, "the wall street journal" what it writes about identity politics in the campaign today, she says this is the politics of exclusion, it explains why a field that began as the most diverse and democratic history is now coming down to a competition between two old white men, candidates who speak primarily to subsections of the country are, by necessity, excluding everybody else, what you make of all this? >> in l.a. we have the thomas mann house, it preserves, thomas mann was a german during world war ii who moved to los angeles. he had radio addresses on democracy. the other night, german philosopher was talking about the violence perpetrated by majorities in minority communities when he have majority rule. that is an element of democracy. he was talk

joined by rahm emanuel, former governor of chicago, chris christie, matthew dowd.e strike against soleimani may have been justified, was it wise? >> i think it's what the iranians understand. george, i think we have 40-year-plus history now with if the original regime that they take every sign of goodwill as weakness and i think the president did what he needed to do. i think admiral stavridis was right, we're a safer place today because this guy is off map. but it's going present challenges. shocking, the middle east is presenting us with challenges. the president's going to have to deal with it. the one ramification of it for him is sending more than 3500 more troops there. that's not what he wants to do. contrary to what he wants to do. every action has a ramification to it. >> he's laying it on president obama. you served as chief of staff, both president obama and president bush consistently decided the risks outweighed the benefits. >> also the israelis. i'd add that. which is why this is a strategic setback of first order of president trump's credibility. pr

along with the medical help dr rahm's buffer provided me with a lot of emotional support all those factors combined to help. with. the p.r.t. therapy helped but christoph meyer is also doing his bit going to physiotherapy and getting plenty of exercise. and gives dr d. me he's a doctor for sports medicine and the head of the program for health and fitness at the sports they can center in them thanks for having me today when i see patients with no big pain they often ask me think head and get some x. ray or an m.r.i. scan and when do i have to do in america skin is a doctor in most of the cases it's not necessarily cause lower back pain is limited and last for only a couple of they can be severe but in most of the cases it lasts just for a short time that if it does not receipt afterwards some days or repeated after a certain time or if the doctor suspects change in this case is indicated to carry on for their examinations for example with. x. rays i believe so many patients problems in their lower back if there's a problem that mother nature just messed up. really not but right now we are

bush, rahm emanuel, who served under president obama, donna brazile and our chief political analyst,d. let me begin. as we head into impehment, that the president will get convicted, but express the reward. >> we're undervaluing the importance in the impeachment in general electi.d overvalngn i think in many respects, the country looks at this as a political exercise. it was a political exercise in the house, and the country as an electorate, as a whole has sort of moved on, but for the democrats, this is going to be everything over the next couple of weeks, and the way these senators handle themselves, other candidates on the trail could have a very -- a big difference in sort of who wins iowa, new hampshire and these next caucuses. >> here's how i take a look at it. this is totally different than '98, and the reason is newt gingrich pursued the case and lost six seats, in a hundred years, it's never happened before, and he got booted. we have had four elections, governor in louisiana, kentucky, delaware, and pennsylvania. this is no problem for the democrats. they have cleanly swep

did for general franco who came to power under a dead rahm's embargo by the western powers did he gain to the digital mysie when he finally surrounded. madrid and then forced the revolutionaries out of course not he was never legitimate never and the same thing is here we general have is a pawn basically of russian interests unfortunately helped by france thus rendering the european union in potent. have to says he is the only one who is capable of essentially saving libya from becoming a haven for islamic terrorists and the fact is that he and his forces did force the islamic state out of the eastern part of the country out of benghazi at great cost in human life to their own forces so is there something to be said for that and those that give him legitimacy i think. like you've looked up the term legitimacy i mean what is really at richard to me does differ within the whole context because in the end if some countries are supporting hostile it means that is to them kind of legitimate so what i think is that you have and tripoli you have of course the muslim brotherhood and you have d

>> it's we otherwise wouldn't vote for, and that's why rahm emanuel said never let a crisis go to wasteink that chief staff said it's not about climate change but changing the american economy along socialist lines but nothing to do with climate change and we've only got about 1 degree in a century in california for that's mostly because of asphalt and cement in our cities. precipitation has not changed. what it is about is that we have 100 million trees and underbrush that grew out of -- that died out of the 2014-'16 drought but never harvested them for green reasons and the underbrush took over. and pge, at one point as a californian one of the best utilities in the state, it's ossified, calcified, has all these green bandits, doesn't have the capital to update its transmission lines. when i was a kid, the wind that doesn't have the effect it does now. and finally, i think this is really important that california is that zoning laws a lot of places that were really habitabe not open to urbanization or suburbanization in the bay area or l.a., so people move out to areas they didn't use

told by the incoming administration, rahm emanuel, the first chief, president elects wanted the first bill to be bipartisan. go show it to the republican leadership and ask what they need. their response was a third of it has to be tax cuts. went back to the economists, and they said tax cuts are not stimulus. the republican leadership said it was the only way to get republican votes, and one third has to be tax cuts. the president wanted a bipartisan bill. was $1 trillion of stimulus half $1rned into trillion, plus $250 million of tax cuts. it went to the floor and not a single republican voted for it. i remember saying to the president-elect to remember it. unless he showed a little south side -- i'm not kidding. he is a penultimate gentlemen, so i mine, you have to know how to throw an elbow. he, unlike anybody in a generation, was so compelling and engaging the public. it wasn't the first time it happened. out the democracy agenda, which is about fixing the variety of ways we have treated our democracy for a long time, as if it would tolerate limitless abuse without breaking. the

disasters as opportunities to ram down agendas that we otherwise wouldn't vote for, and that's what rahm could never let aa crisis go to waste. i think w it was aoc's chief of staff to the new green deal was really not about climate change, but changing the american economy along socialist lines. this had nothing to do with climate change or fires. we had only gone up about 1 degree and a century in california. that's mostly because of asphalt and cement in our cities. precipitation hasn't changed. what it is about is that we have 100 million trees and underbrush that grew out of -- that died out of the 2014-116 drought. whenever hart arrested them for green reasons and the underbrush took over and pg&e, which was at one time as you are member of the california and the best utility in the united states, its ossified, it's calcified, it's overregulated, it's got all these green mandates, it's got to use expensive energy production. it doesn't have the capital to update its transmission lines and when i was a kid the wind didn't have much of a fact, it does now. and then finally and i thin

and sometimes people like elizabeth warren, that happens to, nobody saw it but on sunday, rahm emanuel of staff come every few months he writes an op-ed begging the democratic party to abandon identity politics. nobody is listening to that as well, but i thought another obama administration alum said that he thinks that because of what warren did with this leak of the private conversation, that native american ancestry is not fair game for bernie. >> greg: there you go. because she is saying these things -- >> jesse: he didn't go after hillary's emails, i don't think we'll go after this. >> greg: a lot of problems with warren, she can't be trusted. she is a liar. >> emily: of three problems with her pulling this stunt. number one, it was too inflammatory because the reality of that situation is probably actually how you described, which is a reality, xs and os conversation, where he may be said, i'm not sure, your spitball and, discussing, and she turns around and rat him out and it is obvious with it, so we think of her as desperate. and b, it's quite possible him denying it. i didn't

administrator rahm pettery and the faf continue to meet with the affected railroads and inteo make sure that we meet this deadline, this congressionally mandated deadline which has already been extended once. then finally, we need to discuss great crossing safety. it's an issue that administrator nathan and i are spending a lot of time talking about and to give you a little history lesson on this, in 1993, close to 600 people died in accidents where the highway met the rail line, but due to a sustained focus from all levels of government, the railroad industry and nearly $6 billion in federal investment, most of it from federal highway administration over the last quarter century, that figure was cut in half by 2 2 2008. that's great news. the bad news is over the last decade we plateaued add about 200 to 250 annual crossing grade deaths. at a stubborn number. it's really not moving. over the same period of time vehicle miles traveled has increased by 30%, and society has experienced a proliferation of these things which add to even greater distractions when people are driving and walki

dratler, miss rahm. for many of us over the last five, ten, 15, 20, 25 years, we've come before you because something happened in our community and in our neighborhood that was unjust, it was illegal. it was not according to protocol. you know, it was affecting our community. we need to draw the line, people. the planning commission can't keep legalizing illegal actions. it is absolutely critical that you send a signal to the developer community that this type of egregious action will not be tolerated. this project is a sin. it is a sin of comission. draw the line, send a message that this commission will not continue legalizing illegal units. thank you. >> sue hester. after the last discussion of theology, i'm going to bring up medicine because there has to be some evaluation of where things go wrong after the screw ups. and the screw ups happen a little bit too often. some of them come from planning department not reading plans. some of them come from the reading of plans or not reading of plans to the

and please say your name so that everybody can -- >> barbara rahm. >> nice to meet you. >> glad to meet you. i would like to know what should be done about the national debt, not just the deficit but the debt. >> so barbara's question has to do with our approximately 20 trillion, give or take, dollars of national debt which is going up by a trillion dollars a year. and let me say this. i hate to be a niggler, but mr. trump swore he was going to balance the budget. and he also swore his tax cut to rich people and the biggest corporations was actually going to lead to an increase in tax revenue. both are amongst his 15,000 lies. the actual truth, what will i do, here is what i will do. i will take back all the tax giveaways to rich people and big corporations. they are completely unfair. they benefit me, i get that. they are completely, ridiculously unfair. we have a regressive tax system where rich people pay a lower percentage than working people. that's deeply wrong. secondly, i proposed a wealth tax a year and a half ago. long before i was running for president i said, as unjust as th

the european tour's best golfer of 2019jon rahm is three shots off the lead with five birdies and a bogeyto take part. that's all the sport for now. let's return to our main story. the most powerful military commander in iran has been killed in a us air strike in baghdad. the pentagon said general qasem soleimani — who was the head of the iranian revolutionary guards' elite quds force — had been planning attacks against americans in iraq. the iranian supreme leader has promised vengeance and the us has told its citizens in iraq to leave immediately. but how did we get to this point? let's take a look at the timeline of events. on 27th december, more than 30 rockets were fired at an iraqi military base in the northern city of kirkuk. a us contractor was killed and four american and two iraqi servicemen wounded. us officials blamed an iranian—backed militia, although they denied responsibility. in response, the us launched airstrikes in iraq and syria, targeting the bases of the iranian—backed militia. 25 fighters were reported killed. 0n 31st december, a crowd angered by the strikes marche
