don mcgahn rebuffed the president. mcgahn said that could prompt accusations of abuse of power. mcgahn had white house lawyers write a memo for mr. trump warming if he asked law enforcement to investigate, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment. white house attorneys stood in the way from the january 6th hearings it sounds like physically at some point to block trump's coup attempt. they warned of the legal perils should trump barrel ahead. now consider how he woke up today, not just feeling empowered but being empowered and how he would feel if re-elected knowing the six conservative justices on the supreme court, three of whom he hand picked, have ruled that presidents have, quote, absolute immunity for anything deemed a core constitutional function and the presumption of immunity for anything else that can be deemed an official act. the one expert telling the washington post this, quote, if a future president sitting in the oval office were to want to commit crimes up to and including subverting an election or remaining in power against the will

what does this mean if there is no don mcgahn in the second trump presidency and he proceeds with doing that? >> the people that are not immune are woo be the people under the president. they don't enjoy presidential immunity. >> sotomayor writes about pardons. >> so there's -- >> that's already happened, too. there was reporting in "the new york times" that he sought to shoot people at the border, and promised the border patrol agency that he would give them pardons. >> yes. so the normal check -- cut the word "normal," the president, under this decision, can do, can use the department of justice as a weapon, and is immune. they have taken that part of the case out. even as they say, they say the allegation, it's a sham. imagine, imagine the hypothetical i've been posing today, imagine that there is a tape recording of the president saying bring a fake case against my political rival, i know there's no proof, just bring it, and i want him prosecuted. under this decision -- >> we have that, too in the call -- >> absolutely. this is not so much of an hypothetical. and the only check woul

he wanted to have evidence manufactured and he wanted don mcgahn to make up things that didn't existriminal exposure with mueller. he wanted border patrol agents to do illegal things and he dangled pardons in front of them. we also know what he already did at his department of justice when it came to wiretaps. we found out at the end of his presidency, he was listening to all manner of journalists and he was listening to lawmakers. what does this absence of any semblance of fear of criminality -- how do you assess what trump would do in a second term with all the awesome powers of the fbi? >> yeah, as you said, he told us what he's going to do and he's already done some of it. as it's engraved in the -- over the national archives in washington, the past is prologue. exactly. the past will tell us where we're going in the future with him. and i often think, you know, as i contemplating where the impact is on the national security community, with this ruling, at first, my reaction was boy, we're going to have a lot of people in the intelligence community doing unlawful things but then

he wanted don mcgahn to make up things that didn't exist to get out of criminal exposure with mueller to do illegal things and he tang dangled pardons in front of him. we know what he did at his department of justice when it came to wiretaps. we found out at the end of his presidency, he was listening to journalists, lawmakers. what does this absence of any semblance of fear of criminality, how do you assess what trump would do in a second term with all of the awesome power of the fbi? >> yeah. as you said, he told us what he's going to do. he's done some of it. as it's engraved over the national archives in washington. the past is prologue. exactly. the past will tell us where we're going in the future with him. i often think as i'm contemplating what the impact is on the national security community with this ruling, at first, my reaction was boy, we're going to have a lot of people in the intelligence community doing unlawful things but then i stopped myself and i reread the opinion and it's worse than that. because we've redefined what lawful means in this ruling. so you know, we'r

our numerator would be to include all the students and the number they attended and the don mcgahn the denominator -- the denominator would be all the students and the number that could have attended. it creates a false narrative that students aren't coming to school. you need to look at how many students are chronically absent. in indiana we looked at our learning data and found there was a statistical significance from students that were there at least 94%. for every school across the state, to be on the percentage point you have to have been there 94% or more. we look at the individual student to get on the learning side of that. the other thing that's a common topic in education that i will mention to you that we have not talked a lot about his with the push on at work-based learning with positions in our country that i know colorado is a major leader on. a lot of the conversation, something we don't know yet as a country, how do we measure skills at scale? communication, collaboration, work ethic, critical thinking is so important. then, we have to figure out how we might measure

capture operation and the antiregulatory operation were admitted by trump's white house counsel don mcgahn to be, and i'm quoting him here, two sides of the same coin. you stack the court to tear down the regulations so your polluters are happy and they fund your effort to stack the court and support republican power. and about this slate of recent discussions that i discussed, he proudly told "the new york times" -- and i'm quoting him again -- none of this was an accident. none of this was an accident. indeed, it was bought and paid for. there is considerable literature about a phenomenon called regulatory capture, sometimes called agency capture. it's the capture of regulatory agencies by industry to corrupt government decision-making. you can imagine railroad barons taking over a railroad commission whose job it is to set the rates a for their railroads. well, the supreme court has been captured in the same way. and this was no small or incidental undertaking. true north research estimates that at spent on the court capt operation. these groups were a significant part of it and these g

it was sort of a morpheus, must like trump he would say referring to himself in third person and don mcgahn wanted ndas signed. this time it's on paper and the things jd vance said about donald trump go much further than eight years on this program of some of the most sort of alarm from a constitutional legal and political spectrum, i mean, jd vance has called him worse things than anyone i've ever seen and he's called him america's hitler. the plan he associated with, project 2025, would prevent him from going near a trump administration in any slot other than vice president. >> yeah, you know, i spent last night watching nikki haleyhaley speech and thinking about the theme of unity and ron desantis and what the party is rallying behind, especially when it becomes clear with his pick of jd vance and what the party is behind and why is a trump/vance ticket and not trump/pence is that the party has come to terms with an authoritarian view where it is acceptable to use every tool at an executive's disposal to stay in power. that's what project 2025 is really about, consolidating executive pow
