white people in the united states are not the uniformly privileged group. if you're a coal miner in west virginia, if you're a working-class person, a guy that lost their job or you are making half the money that your father was making doing very different kind of work, it's not the case that you are being respected and may be that you've lost this respect if you thought your parents had come so maybe that lost is very painful. but it's not as if the elites in the media, and politics, the people that have been running for two political parties up till now have really done a whole lot for you. i think kind of appreciating that you can be disrespected or ignored in a variety of ways in this country, and by the way, so i'm not trying to pose a a morl equivalence between these different forms of disrespect or injustice because some of them are obviously much more severe than others, but i do think that one of the problems and one of the underlying reasons we are so polarized is kind of a failure to actually look more carefully at the groups that are on the othe

we can't rely on the united states. maybe we need to find alternatives to the united states. they have now created a department of trade diversification. no longer to rely as strongly as heavenly -- heavily on the united states. even if the end result is no terrible change. it is deeply destructive of your ability to lead. and it's all about getting people to follow. and less and less people are willing to follow. is there an example where we wanted people to follow us and they aren't now. see mac i assume that they wanted the world to follow it. everybody once the cost of the decision to manifest themselves immediately. the world doesn't work that way. they have a long shadow. let's go back and talk about some of these trade deals. we have a revision to nafta. what price did you pay for it. when you hold up the present agreement they don't fare very well. we got a revision. in which the united states and the changes were extra -- exceptionally modest. on the number of cars that american manufacturers can sell into the korean market. the only problem was no american manufactu

i have one chapter when trying to explain the origins of identity politics in the united states and if you think its origins are on the left. >> maybe i was projecting. [laughing] but as i said the book was written because donald trump became president. i don't think that it's necessary, that's a know you outlined is necessarily the case. elections really matter and i think a lot of republicans are lining up behind trump, if they lose, if the american people really start rejecting the republican party as they may on november 6 they will begin to realize that this is really a losing cause and their loyalty may start to weaken. but you can't vote for nothing. you can't vote for nothing, and so i do think the democrats, you know, this midterm election i'm not worried about because all the candidates are sort of chosen locally. yet more conservative democrats running in swing states where it's sort of a tossup, but in 2020 they have to pick one standardbearer. that's going to be a really tough just because the party really is split between the progressive wing and the more centrist wing. y

and did a united states obsessed bbc get carried away by this week's midterm elections? first, president trump's relationship with the media has always been fractious, but occasionally it breaks out into outright confrontation. a news conference in washington on wednesday was one such occasion. i think you should let me run the country, you run cnn and if you did it well your ratings would be much better. let me ask, if i may... that's enough. if i may ask one other question are you worried... that's enough. pardon me, ma'am... excuse me, that's enough. mr president, one other question if i may ask on the russian investigation, are you concerned that you may have... i'm not concerned about anything with the russian investigation, because it's a hoax. that's enough. put down the mic. mr president, are you worried indictments coming down in this investigation? mr president... i tell you what, cnn should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. you are a rude, terrible person, you shouldn't be working for cnn. jim acosta, the victim there of a presidential tongue

in the united states, yes, it has gotten much worse. there are a lot of threats against our journalists. we've had to increase our security increasingly. and that started in the last presidential campaign. increase your security in what sense? i cannot give details. but in many ways we have increased security. for individual reporters and for our headquarters. some of your reporters in certain situations had you have bodyguards? we have not gone that far, but there are reporters in the united states who do have bodyguards, particularly journalists who work for some of the television networks. arthur salzburger, the publisher of the new york times, he told donald trump to his face that trump's rhetoric — quote — "will lead to a rise in threats and ultimately a rise in violence." he meant towards journalists. do you echo those sentiments? i think he is correct, absolutely. the kind of rhetoric that has been used makes life more dangerous for journalists. it has already led to threats and it is a dangerous path to travel. the — one o

to say he's criticizing, barack obama was the previous president of the united states. criticizing each other. >> but one of the -- >> let me finish. secondly, just for the record, i work for ran desantos. the reason he shouldn't use the word thief but andrew gilleum is under investigation and did take a ticket from an undercover fbi agent and lied about it. part of the florida campaign is this guy being truthful? is he part of corruption? there is a massive -- >> he's not under -- >> he's not under fbi investigation. >> donald trump is under fbi investigation and if you were to kick donald trump in the rear end, you'd break the back of desantos' head. he loves the president that much. if he has a problem with somebody under fbi investigation, wait until he hears about donald trump. >> also, paul, don't call ate ra -- it a racist attack. >> no, no, no. >> someone that could be a criminal. >> this is the problem. one of the things -- >> no. >> he cannot be a criminal. the mayor of tallahassee. >> he accepted a ticket from an undercover fbi agent and didn't report it. tha

states would work with the united states great maybe we need to find alternatives to the united states. they have now created a department of trade diversification. why would you do that unless you think it's important to rely heavily on the united states. so, even if the end result is no terrible change of what it is before the process by which you get there deeply destructive of your ability to lead, and leading is all about getting people to follow it just matters who's in the backseat unless people are willing to follow and that is the problem for us. >> the trump administration wanted to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. i will note that in your question, yes, trump has and one of the problems as everybody wants the cost of the decision to manifest themselves immediately. the world doesn't work that way. decisions have a long shadow and it may be years before you get the actual bill. let's go back to talk about these trade deals. yes, the president got a deal with the revised free-trade agreement. we got a revision to nafta and a temporary truce in a trade war with europe. as yo

states resources are limited and local communities is struggling to cope with the new arrivals tensions between migrants and some local residents arising. kareena is exhausted but she and her five children have arrived in. the city shelters are already full so they have to sleep on the street. children are tired from all the walking we had to do. and because we didn't have anything to eat. we asked for someplace to stay but we ended up having to sleep on the street they said a place to stay would cost twenty pesos around of a day pass for. the first four hundred migrants who arrived in want to set up camp on the beach alongside the border fence they're happy to have reached their destination but are surprised by the walls height and the us police presence on the other side the migrants are waiting for the rest of the large group to arrive. they made the decision together and we will continue to stick together we can go it alone we set out together and if someone wants to resort to force then i have to leave our group we want harmony and peace. violence broke out the night before after s

this is something the united states does not like. since may of 2018, they have worked on rolling out those sanctions on november 5, monday. phil: how effective were those sanctions be? all of these countries say that they will work together to get around them. >> it is hard to tell. they will be effective to some degree. having said that, there are plenty of countries that won't be impacted by this. they are still dealing with iran. they say they want to pay iran for the oil. having said that, mike pompeo and steve mnuchin mentioned that a jurisdictions -- this is what -- eight jurisdictions are getting waivers. there is reporting that they are iraq, turkey and south korea. they are getting waivers and trying to do oil trays with iran. the money that iran would get from this has to be imposed in a specific bank account. phil: the u.s. midterm elections are on tuesday, november 6. the time seems more than coincidental. >> yes. of course, this can be alleged that the timing is geared toward midterm elections coming to us on tuesday, th

and eventually ended up in the united states senate. well, his rallies, they sound like very much like trump rallies. kind of like camp meetings. the old come to jut meetings in the -- jesus meetings in the south. where people would just go into near religious ecstasy because of the power of the message of the speaker. and i mean, joe mccarthy, could do the same thing. in the early '50s. george wallace did it in the '60s self-as his daughter said, she was reminiscing on his rallies and said, daddy's recalls could get right rough, and i mean, chair-throwing, so, it is -- i mean, some people have this gift, the demagogues gift, and trump really has it. he is an extraordinary politician. that is volatile energy. he is gathering, channeling, and surfing, and i wouldn't call it by any means the energy of our better angels. it's very dangerous. >> as someone who lives in texas, could you talk about the current senate race there? >> could i talk but the current senate race there. >> maybe what your involvement has been with it? >> my involveme

at least the result of this election shows that the democracy in the united states is still alive and there are controversial debates. also for all of business crucial topics and one major topic is trade policy off donald trump conflict. almost starting trade war against china which is threatening the whole world economy and on the other side the trade conflict with the european union. from the point of view of the german economy we have little hope. that the election results will change anything we shouldn't forget that there are also many democrats who support the administration's course the trump administration's trade agenda remains a threat to the global economy. administered so on phone president tom is now before a nigga fall for david to a chair for president trump. is living very much from one moment to the next and this is the danger eyes and his policy there isn't no long term strategy there's no wish for long term stability there's no fear for what is he causing his aggression so i don't think that there will be a major bettering it might even get worse. the view there of
