going to see mary simon who is candace governor general. to that i want to make the point. the first indigenous governor general. the first indigenous representative of the monarch here in canada. there is some in the engine's community. just about what the crown's role has been in canada. even speaking to indigenous leaders over the years, they have a deep respect for the queen. even if they understood the policies for so many centuries to be damaging to their peoples. they really considered her ally. it is a testament to her rain in canada that she really is still received that way by many people here in canada.>> that is fascinating. thank you for that.>> i was just reflecting on the outpouring of grief that we heard here. listening to the lady that paula spoke to in canada. there is a sense of the queen having been the nation's mother or even the nation's grandmother. there is behind that image. a clever woman who made republicanism. redundant over 70 years. certainly in the united kingdom or certainly the argument of republicanism. rather redundant. not so in australia

as a public and candace are beginning to get their message out on the issues you just mentioned. she was she tight races in pennsylvania? arizona? washington state? new hampshire? nevada you're putting it away in ohio we have herschel walker getting into a very comfortable lead in georgia. we cannot be overconfident, we have to work, we have to get the message out we have to expand exactly what we said. america under joe biden is a horror country it is a weaker country, it is a more violent country. a more dangerous country. and it's a country where moms and can even afford to put food on the table for their own children this is heartbreaking. >> laura: here is joe biden's theory is about why politics has become so difficult to watch. >> president biden: will be today think about it it's personal tax. if i disagree are the subject matter. and secondly i think it's fair to say that we have not had a president like the last president who is made all but so personal. >> john, made a personal? >> laura: they had been personally hunting donald trump for what 5f years? and he's worried

current host of "the killer psyche" podcast, candace, this case is so strange. ir irene's boyfriend said she left in a dark-colored suv. he is not cooperating with police. >> i don't believe a word he said. he's not cooperating with police to help find someone that was his girlfriend. it's not good. >> from your experience as a profiler, let's talk about nathan hiteman. if he refuses to cooperate, what are the chances of finding her after all of this time? >> well, it would surprise me to the moon if the police haven't also considered him a person of interest in her disappearance. because we know that he committed three felonies in using her credit card going into her bank account and it's hard for me to believe he has nothing to do. there are things they can do. perhaps they haven't done them yet or in the past. phone records for both of them. when was the last time they communicated by phone? also executing a search warrant. in the home they lived in and his car. >> black and brown people do not get the kind of coverage from us in the media, which is our fault

we know that they are pro strong progressive candace that i've done really well and primaries this year. i believe greg caesar in texas, some early in pennsylvania, julia ramirez and illinois, max frost in florida, maxwell frost. the progressive caucus seems to be growing. and i know you are the chair of the house of progressive caucus, what can you tell us about the size and the shape, the makeup of the democratic party right now? which immediately is a very big tent party. >> yes, and i think first of all, the democratic party has become more and more progressive and populist. and that is thanks to the progressive movement across the country. but you see that a lot of progressive ideas have been taken out as the mainstream of the democratic party. things like raising wages, making sure people have a decent livable wage. things like making sure that we are taking on climate change. a lot of the things that we have been fighting for, universal childcare, universal pre-k, these is the presidents agenda. this is joe biden's agenda, this is the democrats agenda. it's about lifting up worki

she came around to al smith's candace in 1928. she wrote about how she thought that the antique catholicism against him was bigoted and unfair so, you know, she did evolve. he evolves that was like it's so terrible to say blacks were hated -- were hated catholics were hated hatred always is so much whiter than just one group. and i think that's by the end of her memoir. i'm like going i got to put this down and then i realize what just how you described it that world. she came out of catholics for hated and she had to grow out of that the way wilson had to grow out of hating catholics bringing catholics and --, and she was administration and too bad. he took that backward step on segregating washington dc and that's what that's what's interesting to me is the relationship between the first the president who influences who and which way does it go? so what role does edith upbringing as rebecca and you mary have described it play in wilson's own actions in allowing for example, the resegregation of washington dc. this is an interest
