but given the several things don trump has just done in the last week. there's an exit ramp every 12 hours with donald trump. >> this is what authoritarians to, this is what a neo-fascist party does, which, is they disable democracy, first of all, because democracy is functioning, who needs them, and secondly they deploy violence in the threat of violence. thirdly they break all kinds of social norms of decency, of respect, of civility. fourth, they essentially claim to speak for the people, the average person, but of course they're taking away government services that the average person needs. they are taking away paychecks from government workers. but they don't care because they are an anti democratic authoritarian party. and donald trump is their cult leader. they have really given up on democracy. mitt romney was absolutely right. the only other question i have is why he or anyone else remains in the republican party. the only decent thing, the only patriotic thing at this point, is to join with democrats either officially or unofficially to enable g

there are don trump republicans and there are kemp republicans. what we saw governor kemp do today's flex his muscle. he has not shied away from that role in the past. he has demonstrated that he has the juice to take on donald trump. he does it in a way that is uniquely his. and so while i disagree on many of the governors policies, to be sure, i do appreciate that he stood up for the constitution. he stood up for the rule of law, and he stood up for the separation of powers. and i think it's an interesting day in politics for this country to have republicans, the party of law and order, the party limited government, the party local control, completely abandoning those principles in favor of a personality. there are elements in this party that are cult-like, frankly. i think it is refreshing for americans to see another american who we may disagree with politically stand up for the laws and the rules that govern this country and for democracy. >> greg, i might ask your representative as well, maybe a dumb question, but i'm gonna ask it anyway. i

the idea that don trump's codefendants might be cutting deals in exchange for testifying, it's somethingries out loud about prison cells, orange jumpsuits. but could that actually happen? i talked about this very thing with the hosts of the prosecuting donald trump podcast, mary mccord and andrew weissmann, from the first stop on the -- in austin texas on saturday. >> there's something that's really hard to remember the trial of the century to consider the kinds of people that are going to be on the stand in what is going to be the most significant criminal trial in, again, in the country's history. i don't think it's even that arguable. >> that's right. >> good question. >> that brings up the fact that we're in federal court, so unless the supreme court decides to change the rules, we will be no cameras in the courtroom. so they're gonna have to be relying on journalists who are in their reporting throughout the day about what is happening. that is raising a lot of debate about whether the rule that has been part of the federal rules for a very long time is a good rule. i have somewhat

>> well first let me say, what don trump said was just absurd. if this was to be something seriously concerned, it should have been done no later than last year. it should have been discussed. the court cases should have gone forward. to try and get him off the ballot in some states is, i think, going to be very dangerous for our democracy. it is too close to the election to stop these things. he has not been charged with insurrection and i understand how a case can be made, for certain, but there is a flipside to this that i've heard from leading scholars. again, i'm not a lawyer. that's not even the issue for me. it is how this looks and what it will do and how it will tear apart our country. we thought january 6th was bad, i think this will be far. boris >> waneta, newly unsealed report from the fulton county special grand jury shows it recommended an additional 21 people to be charged in georgia, in the georgia election interference case. but ultimately, fulton county district attorney fani willis decided not to move florida. the report liste

but don trump and some of the right note that many workers, when they hear a v, they also hear more spayean energy jobs are good paying, middle class jobs. that is not the case. a lot of these jobs, your pay 16, 17, $18 an hour is a tamp or core to them. so if these are the jobs of the future, the fight, make sure they have good jobs. make sure they are like the jobs of all. what if you work in the big three auto plants, you were given 32, 33, $34 per hour. why can't a ev job be similar, and -- let's save an industry and save workers who will be the future of this industry. >> and it is pretty clear that we know, anecdotally, about the issue that liberals, democrats, blue states have what it comes to quarterly union votes or, what color and to some degree blue collar votes. union liberal is no exception to that, right? look at the numbers. 2020 exit polls. 56% of voters in union households nationwide backed by about 40% back donald trump. and the uaw estimates that one third of its members voted for trump in 2020 and 2016. this is a big concern and i think it's more than just this partic

the american people had the opportunity to decide whether they wanted don trump to be president in 2020 against him, he ignored that, and attempted to overturn that election, including inciting a violent insurrection. the idea that somehow, we are going to do the same thing again, and get a different result, it's like the old adage about the definition of insanity. which is, do the same thing, expecting a different result. >> this will mostly play out in courts, in severance. what do you say to those who say, even if you are successful on the state level, the conservative super majority on the supreme court, three of the justices appointed by trump. they like to pretend to be a regionalists, but they rarely are in practice. they will never let donald trump be removed from the ballot. and so, this exercise will serve no purpose but to excite and mobilize trump's base. >> you know, i think that obviously, this is a deeply conservative court. but i think what we've seen, over the past couple of years is that this court, first of all, has not seem to have a whole lot of interest in associat

this, week both the new york times and political reporter don trump porcupine the scenes turned gop lawmakersach president biden. it is clear who is actually pulling the strings here. there's no doubt about it. unfortunately for kevin mccarthy, there is nothing more motivating than revenge. for trump, you know, this impeachment mission against joe biden isn't just about playing politics or distracting from his own multiple indictments. it is, personal. it is democrats first impeached him back in 2020, one he has been desperate to repay the favor. if you don't believe me, all you have to do is just listen to him. he admitted as much in a recent interview with making kelly, saying, in part, quote, i think that if they had not done it to me, perhaps you wouldn't have been done to them. that's bring back my panel. congresswoman, i'll start with you. i want you to listen to what congressman adam schiff said, who led the impeachment against donald, trump had to say about kevin mccarthy. watch. >> mccarthy realizes that he doesn't have the votes to do a real impeachment investigation. he doesn't hav

american people, not to get to what is true, but just to see if they can advance the interest of don trumpit is so wrong. >> meanwhile, as we go into this presidential cycle, a recent cnn poll shows that roughly three quarters of americans say they are worried about president biden's age and how it might affect his ability to serve out another full term. that actually includes 49% of democrats who say that the presidents age is their biggest concern. are you worried that this is going to hamper his chances in this upcoming race and what can he do about it? >> every time i get this question i say, take a look at what he is done. this is the president who has delivered 35 dollar insulin, this is the president who has delivered to the biggest climate package in the history of the world, and paid for by a 15% minimum corporate touch. first big corporation tax increase in 30 years. this is the president who has now put a cap that is going to put in effect so seniors don't have to pay more than $2,000 on their medical bills. this is a president who is getting rid of junk fees, day by, day by day

but as you and i know very well, what donald trump sees as beneficial to don trump can change moment to moment. >> the other thing that happened today, we saw jack smith's team issue this new filing, as trump has been posting links about the judge in his case and washington, and in the same courthouse where enrique tao rio was sentenced today, he's calling jack smith deranged. he says he has insane and unchecked aggression. the reason we are highlighting that is that the special counsel's arguing that those comments, which are happening on a daily basis, multiple times a day, could taint the jury pool. what is your sense of whether or not trump's attorneys are concerned about testing prosecutors patience here, about maybe seeing sanctions from the judge for trump on what he's saying? >> they are certainly aware of that this is a possibility, there is going to be a request for sanctions and to just take action. what they're going to argue is that this is infringing on trump's free speech rights, that he's a political candidate, and that he has to be allowed to say what he wants to say.

he knows all these crimes that don trump is alleged to have committed, and when asked about it he sayst's part of democratic politics. but when democracy is at stake, you have to draw a hard line, and one of the points that we draw in our book is that if you look throughout history, there's often attacks on congresses and parliaments. the question is how do mainstream politicians respond to that. did they denounce it or do they just look out for their narrow self interest. and when they do that, ultimately democracy gets into trouble. >> and so dan, let's go a little bit further here than. it's one thing to enable than trump right now as his presidential candidate. what happens though for he to win? what would that say about where this country is as an american experience and its democracy going forward? >> frightening, frightening. we've just seen the last several days the rhetoric that candidate trump is using. it's even worse than 2016, saying he will indict his opponent without any basis. i mean, he's explicitly saying that. i think the broader point though has to be that we have t

grange was pictured happily next to carnier west in the infamous picture of him donning america great. donald trump hat. while west got significant backlash for wearing the hat, grane received zero scrutiny. however, close inspection of grange and his family members reveals a political orientation. universal ceo lucian grange was pictured in november 2016 a fundraizer for the israeli occupation forces in beverly hills, california. it is highly unlikely that a man of his prestige would attend such event without donating. grange is very. close friends with former israeli soldier and prolific zinust lobbist heim saiban. so much so that grange recently appointed saiban as a director of universal music group. over the years, imesban has raised hundreds of millions for the israeli occupation forces and other israel lobby groups too. sayaban also funds the democrats and has been described as scripting u.s. president biden's policy on israel. lucian granger's wife, caroline miss is a trustee of the bernard lewis family charital trust. the family's assets are held by the lewis trust group which is controlle

mister don trump jr. would've called it a nothing burger. you have no convictions, you have nothing. it was all set up to hurt the mueller report, which was correct, and it was redacted, to hurt the bidens, and to help trump. and you were a part of it. you have a good reputation. you had a good reputation that's why two democrats supported you. but the law where you hold on to mr. barr, and this report, that mr. barr gave you a special counsel, your reputation will be damaged. as everybody's reputation who gets involved with donald trump is damaged. he is damaged goods, there's no good dealing with him, you will end up on the bottom of a pile. >> we presume the gentleman is undecided on how he feels about the former president. [laughter] >> gentlemen, witness can respond. >> my concern about my reputation is with the people who i respect, my family, and my lord. i'm perfectly comfortable with my reputation with them sir. >> well said. god bless you.

first of all those lists include donald trump himself, his adult children, don jr., eric and ivanka trump. interesting to note. in a criminal case prosecutors cannot subpoena,s for the defendant to take the stand. violates the fifth amendment right's in a civil case they can. if that happens trump and his children have two choices. testify. risky, though. saw donald trump's deposition in the case. a disaster. but they can also take the fifth amendment, but in a civil case, any take the tfifth amendment te judge can consider that against them. >> lack of intent, lack of knowledge, the defense? >> a couple. donald trump argued and will continue to argue sense of real estate, objectivity. the judge said not by 25 times. also going to argue trump's team they are waivers, what they called the worthless clause saying our numbers here, worthless. don't pay attention to them. judge said, that worthless clause itself is worthless. then finally, trump's team will argue, no victim, no loss. >> repaid the loans? >> got 3paid back with interest. doesn't matter for the ag but it will matter for the oth
