  This week I watched Meet the Press. The host was Chuck Todd. The guests on the show were Hilary Clinton, Senator Tom Cotton, Secretary of Labor Tom Perez. The pundits were Katy Tur, Andrea Mitchell, Kasie Hunt, and Kelly O'Donnell.

 On the show, a recorded phone interview with Hillary Clinton starts off us. The call mostly consisted of her giving a summary of the 3-hour interview with the FBI and what is to be made of it. As of now, the FBI will not recommend any charges towards her. The pundits talk about how the email scandal affects her voters and polls. Giving voters a sense of distrust with her. The next interview is with Tom Cotton. The main concern of the interview was terrorism. Tom C. discussed that not only in other parts of Bangladesh or Turkey should we be concern but also with western countries. Well, I think that any attack with our allies is an attack on America. And, I say that because we, Americans, are trying to defeat ISIS and we can't defeat if we only think of our nation only but the world too. The next interview is with Tom Perez. They began with the Trans-Pacific Partnership (tpp). Chuck T. brings to light that Trump is opposed to the tpp and if Clinton will oppose the trade. To which, Perez responds that she has made it clear she oppose tpp. She opposes it because of the health concerns it brings and the damages agriculture would have. Now, the interview goes on for Perez to throw some jabs at Trump. Chuck T. brings up a statement that Tom made last year saying ".... ... (tpp) critical to our 21th century competiveness" and if he still agrees with it. Perez said he does but he wants to build a stronger trade and one that protects the American Worker. Now, I read up on the trade but the opposers are mostly concern with worker's rights and environment endangerment. But, I think at least one candidate support the idea of free trade. The next set of questions talk about the thearts the nation faces with the new president. We head to the pundits talking about insanity of politics and how's that is working out for us. They also talk about potential vice presidents for both candidates. Trump's picks are Chris Christie, Mike Pence, Bob Corker, Newt Gingrich. Some of the pundits say that Trump needs a "Yes Man" and with his picks , they aren't looking that way. With Clinton, her picks are Tim Kaine, Sherrod Brown, Tom Perez and Elizabeth Warren. Most of the pundits agree that what Clinton needs is a follow through with her commitment.


   This week, we followed up on the Clinton's email scandal and the end of it, America defeating terrorism and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. We discuss our candidates potential picks for vice president.
