Caught just the beginning of the second hour - the international news round up. Three reporters and the host (I do like the show as a format, and it has a crisper pace than when led by Diane Rehm - Joshua Johnson comes across as prepared and really smart).
But - the topic was about the various communiques with foreign governments - Mexico, Iran, Australia. The tone was in general that nothing particularly out of the ordinary - or erroneous/misguided - is happening.
I knew it was inevitable, but it is happening very quickly.

(60,015 posts)Of course not - but for the most part there has been an undercurrent - or even overt - shock/disbelief transmitted - eye rolls, the words used. For a show like 1A, the level of normalcy was pretty staggering - even my wife mentioned it to me (and she has paid little attention to any of this - it makes her sick)
