## Resource

Steve Schmidt joined Joy Reid's "Joy's House" today by asking her what should be a simple question: "How are you?" The truth is that in these times, there's no simple answer. It lead to an interesting conversation that spanned the economic instability spawned by Trump's losing war with Iran, America's never-ending wars, how far America has fallen on the global stage, corruption of the Supreme Court and more.
