let's talk again to ron christie, who's here with us in philadelphia.st of here in delaware county pennsylvania. how much has that district changed because it is a key election district? it has changed a lot, a lot wealthier and a lot more educated people living there. so many universities. you are looking ata many universities. you are looking at a highly educated and well the set of constituencies that have a strong impact. what impact does it have in terms parties? you have a lot of people who originally would not have voted for a republican but gave donald trump a chance. they wanted strong jobs and economy and two years on they are saying, the economy might be good but do we like what the president is saying? do you think that, increasingly, looking from over here, the united states is moving to a parliamentary system like ours in that they vote for the president in the midterms rather than the local candidate in front of them? it's an interesting perspective. i don't think we will ever switch to a parliamentary syste m ever switch to a parliamenta

despite the talk of unity, the kgh nomination has divided americans, and one of his supporters is ron christie. si spoke to hrt time ago. thanks very much for joining me. e just how damaging e president's comments? ron: they are certainly not helpful. you have at least three wavering republican senators who are trying to find a waye o vote for juvanaugh. you have democrats from key swing states. what the president said has given up often, saying do i really want to go through when the president is not making the best case for the nominee by potentially insulting a woman who has been alleging she is a victim of sexual assault? jane: how compromising to you think it is regarding the fbi report? ron: the fbi report is going to be inconclusive and it will make either side happy. republicans will say most likely that it did not find anything conclusive. look at this an say, see, it wasn't long enough, they fbi did not talk to ford or kavanaugh. it is flawed on its face. i don't think ebeher side will appy once the fbi releases the report. jane: given that, what is the best you hope it will do? ron:

joining us from san francisco is ron christie, former adviser to george w bush.gave on climate change in his interview. he seems to feel that scientists have a political agenda. and when she pushed him on that, he said he would have to show me what the scientists are saying. the un document was put on his table last week. he hasn't read it. yes, we have heard a lot about what the president reads doesn't read, and it was a telling line in that interview, in above republicans will certainly say that the scientists are looking at this and the planet is seeming to heat up. that does not mean you have to bea up. that does not mean you have to be a global climate change believer, but you can certainly look at the size and say there is clearly something at hand. that would be a popular thought within the republican party, that climate change is happening but it is not man—made? change is happening but it is not man-made? that is exactly the sentiment. there are a lot of republicans who believe that the planet is warming up but it is not man—made. i will defer to the siz

. >> my name is ron christy and i'm thrilled thatittle -- illustrious class sitting down in front. hash tag, we will have class after this panel discussion is over. like others have said before, potomac fever is -- you say i'm just going to work here for a couple of months, an unlike mcmahon, i really did. this is what you're going to see from us tonight. >> this is where i have to intervene? >> we haven't even started talking about politics yet, just wait. >> 27 years later, potomac fever has struck. and i think what you're going to find this evening in this panel with this discussion, is you can talk about your politics and you can have your beliefs and your opinions but you can still be friends and you can still have a civil discourse and not get at each other's throats which we're seeing in politics today. how did i get into this game? i literally ran into my friend in palo alto, california, i said oh, you're my congress bmapp? and he looked at me, and we got to talking and he said have you ever been to washington and i said no? he said you should apply to my office to get an i

with us now is our political analyst and former adviser to president george w bush, ron christie.nt used to say that he didn't want anyone to speak in front of him for more than one minute. you can't make this stuff up but a week in the trump administration is like that. first the president looked bemused but then you can sort of see him saying, "wait, this is my show." kanye saying, "wait, this is my show." ka nye we st saying, "wait, this is my show." ka nye west says saying, "wait, this is my show." kanye west says that he had donald trump 's kanye west says that he had donald trump '5 share the same mentality. it is easy to be cynical and smear, this is a man who is streetwise. maybe they will go and have lunch with a bit later and could something positive i hope so. i think it is very important for the president to hear from diverse voices, very important for the president to hearfrom diverse voices, people from different perspectives, people from different perspectives, people from a different philosophy that he has. if ka nye from a different philosophy that he has. if kany

let's get more on this from our political analyst and former advisor to george w bush ron christie whos the kavanaugh nomination. thank you from joining us. i want to pick it up on the issue of demeanour. we have had contemporaries ofjudge kavanaugh from yale university who have come out and spoken about the degree of drinking that he remembers, that was waddington, when they were at together. when you see this and comparator what the judiciary committee was told on thursday, there does seem to be a difference. is he being honest with the committee? yes, i do think he is being honest with the committee. having gone through an fbi background check myself, i can tell you, they go back to friends from elementary school, high school, couege elementary school, high school, college and pick up on just this kind of enquiry. did he drink a lot in college? was he a stumbling drunk? was he like that in law school? the notion people will come forward and say maybe the fbi did not investigated properly is misplaced. these are exactly the type of character questions they ask. interesting you say th

let's get more with ron christie, former adviser to george w bush.st divided by survey on this, that americans are notjust divided by political party any more but a long neighbourhoods, ona any more but a long neighbourhoods, on a vision of patriotism, where you send your kids to school, which church you worship in and what media you consume. how do you recover some sense of the country being united?” think that's very true, people are so think that's very true, people are so factionalised by if they lived in the flyover states, on the coast, in an urban area also what we need to recognise is that we are all americans and the one thing we have as our motto, out of many, one. we are still all americans and that is what brings us together, our fabric. you can take even an issue like climate change, for example, you might think it was nonpolitical and a question of science but it has become an issue where you can almost predict which political party someone predict which political party someone belongs to buy what they think about climate change. i don'

ron and i and christie stopped at each side and said a prayer. a week later carolyn ron united with survivors at the two thousand and fourteen boston marathon. they cheered their friend celeste in a symbolic run across the finish line. i am angry at what he did and when i see my friends and they struggle and i see other survivors. i don't want my decision to be based on how angry i get in those instances. that paul judge will tool announced the trial would be held in boston. and we have two choices we can either let him stay alive and have his interaction and have his joyce. or put him to death and have that be the end of it. they don't get to see their little boy playing baseball anymore or reading him a story at night and this young man is in jail and he's reading stories that he likes he's got books available to him that he enjoys or he meets with his sisters and gets to see pictures of their children growing up and i just don't think it's fair that they have had their their joys taken away from them it came within days and how to execute an in

ron and i and christie stopped at each site and said a prayer. a week later carolyn ron united with survivors at the two thousand and fourteen boston marathon. they cheered their friend celeste and the district attorney voiced her disagreement and outrage. the district attorney there became very very upset she became very public with her and with her opinion and she said i don't care what the schieber said the death penalty was the appropriate sentence for their daughter's murder. why were they not one. for vicki in silt the answer was clear. we just can't let this anger this natural human anger and pain overwhelm us and make us so then schall and hateful because it would just over time destroy us and we knew that. vicki and sil received piles of hate mail the q. . zing them of not loving their daughter. you know if you can't stand by your principles when it's difficult they're not your principles. several years past before jerry learned that earl washington was not guilty. it had to be like fifteen to twenty executions at the girl was and it lead
