bob brown was killed. congressman ryan time somebody would fall down wounded they would walk over and shoot them in the head with a shotgun. >> i was shot five times. i was lying on my side with my head down, pretending i was dead. and then all of a sudden they just came and -- shot me at point-blank range. >> they are shooting. people die including leo ryan. and back in jonestown, jim jones is calling for a revolutionary suicide, where we are all going to kill ourselves and make a statement to the world. >> i first flew into jonestown last evening around sunset. there was absolute silence. nothing living was around. jonestown last evening was a city of the dead. >> they found tremendous quantities of potassium cyanide poison. it had been mixed with kool-aid. it killed quickly, within five minutes. >> we will never know how many people voluntarily drank the poison. but other people were either coerced, brainwashed or took it against their will. they were murdered. >> i was lifted into this medevac plane, and i was so grate

paul ryan is someone who's traveled the country with people like bob wilson, a community leader who's been around for a long time, visited these neighborhoods, talked to them in the sort of jack kemp mode. rand paul has gone to black colleges and given speeches. i think those are good. but i think you need a much larger effort on the part of the party. and i think the party, if you remember that autopsy report after romney lost, the party said, you know, this is what we need to do going forward. and then you had this, you know, political earthquake with trump come along, and it all sort of went out the window. >> okay. a question back there. >> to what degree do you think there is a role for the black elite in the private sector to try to mobilize the black community to, you know, get a recognition of your view and to, you know, disseminate that message? >> there's a role. i mean, it depends, you know, many members of these elite -- that elite group, i think, have become convinced that it is the government that put them in the position they are in today. in other words, i've spoken to

bob mueller. when the day comes, whenever donald trump does something paul ryan doesn't think he should do, paul ryan always seems to get in line. >> that's the interesting question. there's the question of what will he say, and what will he do because if donald trump were to do that, he would really be provoking a constitutional crisis. we need to understand this. there's a real whiff of panic about all this, particularly as the reports indicate that the special prosecutor is looking at the finances, money laundering, family business deals, and there's something about this that is leading donald trump to, you know, begin pressing all of these buttons. quite frankly, i don't know what paul ryan is going to do. you know, he's obviously been willing to make a lot of sacrifices in order to get the health care through and tax reform through. so would this be the bridge too far? i don't know. >> yesterday the president tweeted, it's very sad that republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their president. sorry, david jolly. i couldn't get through it with

bob inglis also says that if a democrat in the white house had fired an fbi director who was investigating her, paul ryan'sf representatives would be pursuing impeachment charges right now. joining us now, former south carolina congressman bob inglis. congressman, you're seeing just pure partisan hypocrisy hire. if this was a democrat firing the fbi director, and the fbi director testifying about certain kinds of intimidation tactics used in conversations with the fbi director, you would expect this republican house of representatives to be moving toward impeachment already. >> well, yes. let's say that hillary clinton had won and let's say that james comey, director of the fbi, had reopened the investigation into her use of the private e-mail server. let's say that she didn't like that and that she fired him. republicans would be howling, and rightly so because it would look very suspicious. but donald trump has basically done those things, and republicans are whimpering. that's a real problem. we need to get to the bottom of this. we need to restore confidence in our government, in our a electoral system

paul ryan has blink into the camera saying we're going to cut taxes and do what we need to do. do you believe that firing bobbe another instance of them saying well, you know, he a has the right to do that. >> i think that's a tramp of hope over experience. if there is a red line, we have not seen what it is. the republicans haven't indicated that they're prepared to blink on any of this. and you know, we may about to find out. because there's in question about it that the trump white house and the trump media seems to be preparing the battlefield for all of that. i mean they seem to be gearing up and you get into -- get very very close to a real constitutional crisis. by the way, this is where someone like john mccain is so crucial. you remember back in 1974, during watergate, it was republican senator barry goldwater who led the republican senate delegation to go meet with president richard nixon and tell him, you know, your support is gone, you need to go. i can't imagine anybody other than mccain at this point leading that delegation to say. this is the red line, you've gone too far. in his absence, wher

so wide-reaching and why if you look at bob bauer's great piece about the concept of aiding and abetting, it is clear that sean spicer, reince priebus, paul ryanrs who were part of the r triple c are all liable for the aiding and abetting statute and could be prosecuted and go to jail. so i think part of the reason there is such a wide held defense is that the entire republican party was in on the crime in 2016, and they're defending themselves. >> is that it? is this just complicity at work? >> i think all of those points are really right. we're talking about this as a matter of legal compliance but it's not just a matter of legal compliance alone. if i could be in a room and maybe in a sense i am right now those republicans who are xl complicit, i guarantee you, if you have any sense of history, 50 years from now, everybody will think this was a bad thing to have happened. >> yes. >> and they will sit on your lap and grandchildren will ask you and you'll have to have an answer and right now that entire party leadership is unprepared to answer their grandchildren. >> i think more than that. i think they are prepared to aggressively move in do

ryan to this. in a press conference yesterday he seemed to muddle jeff sessions and bob mueller, but it sounded assessions worked for donald trump, and he can hire and fire whomever he wants. that's not the case, is it? especially with robert mueller? >> no, it's not the case, and that was unfortunate. paul ryan is walking a tightrope. you can see how quickly his spokesman tried to clarify that. here's the problem with president trump. he does not understand the fact that the fbi director, the special prosecutor, the attorney general do not work for him personally. they swear an oath to the constitution. they work for the american public. he seems to think that somehow it's like his business back in new york. so paul ryan, look, he can stop this. mitch mcconnell can stop this. they need to draw a stronger line. maybe they're doing this in private saying don't go here, because everything changes. at this point you have to ask yourself what must donald trump be hiding, how big must it be, for him to risk blowing up his administration in this way? >> that is the question a lot of people are asking. j
