when we meet in 2000 when he runs for the reform party. is a populist, he said that he had to run against pat buchanan because pat buchanan was a nazi who hated blacks, hated jews and was going to run to save that party of ross perot. we are going to focus on trade, on what they called the jobs going south of nafta. that was going to be donald trump focus. that was back when he was pro-choice, social issues were a distraction. with the focus on the separate pat buchanan is crazy, we don't want to talk about him. then we see donald trump again when he reemerges in the political world, it is coming after obama for allegedly forging his birth certificate. and what he learned along the way his assent that pat buchanan learned from george wallace. which is, on the right, social issues cut harder than economic ones. and on the right -- so, this is i think manifesting itself in the world right now what's going on with populism. social issues, cultural populism is the promise of the right and economic populism is that province on the left substanti

let's look at the immigration and reform policies both parties backed in the recent past to see if we common ground. you don't have to go far back. almost one year ago today president trump told lawmakers his goal was to sign comprehensive immigration reform. a few weeks later there was a bipartisan senate bill that offered $25 billion in border security, nearly five times what the president wants today including, quote, physical barriers, fencing, tactical infrastructure, technology and personnel. the bill included a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers. there were hot policy debates but carrots and sticks to appeal to democrats and republicans. president trump blew up the bill he'd backed under pressure from anti-immigration advisers, looking at you steven miller, and the right wing media. now democrats control the house. the leverage has increased but president trump is pushing a one-sided version of compromise that doesn't reflect political reality. as trump points out democrats supported a border fence in the fast with senator schumer, barack obama and hillary clinton

totally disinterested in sitting down and trying to lead an effort on the kind of immigration reform that both parties know we need and that most americans know we need as well. so we all want to fix this system with a comprehensive bill i mentioned the 2013 effort, what that would have done. so instead of wasting $5.6 billion on a wall, we could use that money to rebuild our infrastructure or to invest it in border security that's based upon expertise, but we could use $5.6 billion to do a lot of infrastructure in my state and a lot of other states, like fixing bridges, for example. i live in a state, like many, that has thousands of structurally deficient bridges. we could use that money to enhance our national security. i'm told that we're to understand the president is looking for money, the $5.6 billion out of -- potentially out of the defense department. that's what we should be doing with the department of defense dollars that are meant for national security. we could also use $5.6 billion to invest in our children. thereby invest in our future. but i don't think the president's interested in t

the warren wing of the party, very liberal, reform minded. n, a red state sitting senator. it will be a battle for the direction of the party but also for who democrats think would pose the greatest challenge to president trump? >> absolutely and you have what is shaping up to be a vast and diverse field of likely candidates but for democrats there are some issues that have become a litmus test for the party so many contenders or likely contenders have already embraced medicare for all. most support raising the minimum wage. you have a lot that recognize the need to address me too and sexual harassment in the workplace, they've taken a view of tightening laws around guns in this country so i think you have seen the democratic base move in a progressive direction so you might have someone like beto o'rourke or joe biden making appeals to the centrist wing of the party but to the extent centrist still exists, that's a question. there will be an opening challenge for democrats not to let president trump dictate the narrative and soak up the oxyge

reformer. he believes strongly the party lost control or influence in china during the previous administrationwanted to resurrect the party. he believes in the party but it should have primacy -- that it should have primacy in control. this is who he is. david: at the same time, is there pressure on him because of the economy? times,n the financial there was a report of a record amount of stimulus in the form of being inserted into the chinese banking system. does that indicate concern as part of president g's and ping of the economy? george: the economy is slowing down in a ubiquitous manner across a range of sectors. real estate, automobiles, you name it. there has been the emergence for the first time in the last five years of even ping's rule. the emergence of disquiet in universities and even senior party officials, that china is headed in the wrong direction. there is a tussle going on as to which -- how china should organize its affairs. concerns that the andomy is losing traction these $84 billion is part of the process. it is well over $1.2 trillion. this is indicative of a number of

favor and i need for both sides of the party here and both sides of the aisle to understand and try to work together on this issue because we do need comprehensive reformisten to democratic party leadership the minority whip in the senate says he doesn't have a problem with the wall but it's a one layer of security but he wants to see other reforms like more cars of the border and doing something about the fentanyl crisis. liz: robin makes a point that the wall is part of a broader picture, right? let's show the drug seized at the border. look at the thousands of pounds of methamphetamines and cocaine and fentanyl that robin was just talking about. i'm telling you it's an issue. illegal declared asylum has rocketed higher and inundated our courts. 800,000 cases in the courts. how could this not be a crisis right now? >> it absolutely is. the wall is just one part of the crisis but you take away the incentives that create this crisis and illegal immigration. that's not just open 2,000-mile border but asylum rules but were talking sanctuary cities. they are basically refuge for fugitives but were also talking about governors in california and a mayor in

reformer. abiy ahmed emerged from the one—party state, but he's rewriting the script of how leaders behave hered me. after decades of political and ethnic division, abiy ahmed is promising healing. his pace is relentless. we travelled with him as he sold his vision — to villagers, to factory workers, to medical students. you should be part of the reform, he said. use your words and knowledge, don't fight. the country he took over nine months ago had thousands of political prisoners. all are now free. a 20—year conflict with neighbouring eritrea was ended. the presidency, chiefjustice and half the cabinet posts are allocated to women. birtukan mideksa was a political prisoner and exile. abiy asked her to come home and run elections. thousands, if not millions of people, paid to see this kind of change in this country. to have the former opposition leader, a former dissident to lead an institution with significant independence of action, you know, it means a lot. but change has opened up challenges. ethiopia is a complex ethnic mosaic, with more than 80 different groups, and clashes between some
