ron brown stein, cnn political analyst. ron, i want to start with you with this breaking news.hat do you make of despite all the tough tweets from the president and the tough statement out of the white house that we are seeing this from the state department reversing the cancellation of these 60,000 or so visas and still no appeal filed from the federal government. >> well, the agencies are following the law, which is what you would expect agencies to do. to understand what's happening here, i think it is really important for people to recognize that what we are seeing is democratic states using against donald trump a weapon that was forged by republican states to use against president barack obama. president obama, we saw a new pattern from every republican state repeatedly going into federal court to sue him on his initiatives on the medicaid and climate change and most directly relevant on his efforts to expand legal protection, not only to the dreamers but to undocumented adults who are here who had children that are legal u.s. citizens. a single federal judge in texas, and

we've had ron brown, terry mcauliffe, who later ran to be governor. so i don't think that's a bigger challenge. he's got to put the right people around him. he's got to have the right message and he's got to do a better job of bringing in the bernie sanders voters and supporters in the dnc. give them significant positions, give the progressives a voice, and talk about a progressive economy that brings back those trump voters, who normally would vote democrat, because of the economic message, bring them back, give them power and give them voice, win some state and local elections and get ready for the presidential election in four years. and the mid-terms two years from now, very important, lot to do. >> a. scott bolden, thank you so much. >>> ryan noble is back with us now. he's still following, still there in the room following the action as we've just heard tom perez, former labor secretary, is going to be narrowly the next head of the dnc. you heard a. scott bolden saying it, there's a lot of work to do. i spoke to the former mayor of los angeles,
