with 50 killing me up a for mission donald bush, cuz something's got in his multiple of them due to its alma, the russian presidency limousine is twice as heavy as the civilian model. it weighs in at $6.00 tons. just go in for that'll go to work to my move to the field with all those go what we'll still go for. it was done on a fin. when automobile number one was finished and everyone agreed, it was the kind of car the head of state should use. yet another brainstorming session was held. michelle has always been with us when you're the person just send you mr. cousin, the kid. basically, i'm telling you what the nozzle is, but on the screws, a good one was which i think this one is a car. petey templeton, with pneumonia. norma, trouble at ciocca. sheila, associate brenda recham with a brent visual with mute cable seed told normally on the 6th schools i know capital seems to be a little bit slower. houghton zola host with a up my senior ashika prob, shipping the mirror with we're pretty in the washer. and now it's teach the who's a cock show, which is his lawyer. i mean, to stay on the c

we got george w bush, donald trump, can co dash him. so it got worse than we could imagine. and the nothing happened, we still have wars, we still living on the planet in national states. so this was a bit disappointing. i agree. but if you look at the science fiction ideas today, what he, what science fiction ideas do you think will be relevant in the future? a reality of tomorrow? where think at the moment we're not talking about the real bats. dist, topic visions anymore. but we're talking a lot about artificial intelligence and we started to talk about how extra terrestrial life really could look like. if you look at early sounds fiction, you find out that the aliens, more or less alders were humans. so they're symbolized and characterized some of our best or most negative awe behaviors, but they never really were aliens. they were in the cold war when the americans did sense fiction movie theaters mostly asked, sorry for that. were russians because they were afraid of russian. so that's worth the source of, of the alien invasion movies. and though, later on with steven

these are some of the bush administration officials that testified for the 9/11 commission. secretary of state colin powell, defense secretary donald rums field. george bennett, president bush invites dick cheney at the time spoke to the commission though not under oath, they all cooperated with the investigation. now, contrast that with the former president trump and members of his commission. how they respond. instead of cooperation from trump and his allies, we've seen delay tactics and attempts to tie up the committee in court. in a word, stonewalling, but that may soon begin to change. former trump adviser steve bannon was indicted with two counts of contempt of congress. bannon is expected to surrender and appear in court on monday. while it is not clear exactly what the committee hopes to learn from bannon. it's no wonder why they want to hear from the guy who said this the day before the rally. >> it's not going to happen like you think it's going to happen. okay. it's going to be quite extraordinarily different. all i can say is strap in. the war room of passe. have you made this happen. tomorrow it's game day. so strap in

byron donalds, one of your colleagues corey bush from st.his this budget you want to pass. she just attacked him, saying he is antichildren, and ain't parents and antiminorities and ain't this. does that prove the point? these are marxist pretty much pushing a marxist agenda, if you don't embris embrace it, they don't want to debate you over capitalism or tyranny, they want to call you names and put you down. >> that is right, what corey did is wrong, and in this respect joe manchin is right about the cost of the bill, in that house of representatives right now there has been no debate between democrats and republicans on size and scope of spending bills, nancy pelosi is basically cooking the stuff in her office, and corey bush and aoc and the squad are getting what they want, american people are being ignored, they want to spend trillions into an economy where we're already seeing inflation so in ways we've not seen since the 90s, that is the inflation report that just came out, people have be -- trouble heating their homes this winter, the

bush or barack obama or donald trump or now joe biden to decide the political decision to get involved in afghanistan or to stay there a while or withdraw, these were policy decisions. what underlies that policy decision is an assumption of conditions in the world and whether the tools you have, u.n. dispatches and security council, stamens from the white house, -- statements from the white house or military power, how useful they are. it is hard to wage war by committee, it never works well. in article two of the constitution, the first paragraph -- well, second one -- talks about the role of commander-in-chief, given to the president to be that person to whom the nation looks for using the military tool to secure u.s. national interests. later in article one, congress is supposed to provide for these tools, and army and navy, now a space force and cyber command and those sorts of things. when we have a situation life afghanistan and we have the secretary of defense, chairman of joints chief -- joint chiefs and so forth saying we can and can't do things, it should call people to quest

along with this guy scuttling the budget, donald reagan. >> did you -- one had the sense that bush was increasingly isolated, took a long time for the white house to wake up to the political danger they were in. >> guest: squandered up to 92% approval rating and went down to 30 or something and got nothing for it, on the domestic front, the political front, just evaporated. they didn't use it. >> guest: did you try -- >> host: didn't listen to anything i remember. >> guest: i think it was 92%. and congress was ready to respond. victory, actually did something. very few casualties. one hundred. .. >> in the historical mission that he had done with the very skillful hundred skillfully did at the end of the cold war. >> one thing the government trouble was the economy which is will know, bless quarter which he didn't get credit for and clinton the economy and bush had a good record as you said but when the economy is bad, nixon's always right, it's always bread-and-butter remember the letter that i had, from nixon and the economy is good, you will lose but in effect and it was but i think

the institution of the presidency, not to any particular person, barack obama or george bush or joe biden or donald trump. it happens to be true that in making the determination, the sitting president can take into account the claims and arguments of a prior president. that's just prudential. but the sitting president is the one who basically decides. and it's not to say that there is not some decent claim that could be made in some future claim by a former president. maybe president biden, if he is a former president will make some claim of privilege going forward and a future president will take account of that. that didn't happen here, and that's what decides the matter for the purposes of the this case. >> yeah, it's perfect. it belongs to the office and not the individual. again, she says privilege exists for the benefit of the republic, and it is not tied to any one individual. the president is now just an individual. he is not the former president. he is not the president of the united states. here is my question. because he is appealing this, the former president, what are the chances that

bush to barack obama to donald trump to biden. this is a country that is all over the place. what does this country want? it is very divide, and i think you see that in virginia where you see backlack, right? this was a state that just went ten points for biden and now they are like, you know, they are bad what's happening in the schools. they are mad that their lives haven't changed and you see this opposition, and you see enthusiasm for youngkin. >> you also see, lastly, a republican candidate who has somehow managed. >> 100%. >> somehow managed to hold trump at arm's length. do not come to virginia. i do not want you here and yet trump has repeatedly told him he's a nice guy and repeatedly told trump voters to go out and vote for him. i can't remember someone who has pushed him away and still gives him a hug. >> the big question for reap dance is this a road map that other republicans can snol two big differences, glenn youngkin is worth $440 million. he can self-fund if donald trump wants to block and back an opponent and virginia is different than many other states. very

or resources from policymakers in washington because at that point the bush administration was really focused in iraq. in 2006, donaldrumsfeld asked me why things were deteriorating in the south of afghanistan. i said we do not have enough resources. general, what do you mean? i said we do not have enough troops and resources and we have raised expectations about the war. rumsfeld said, general, i do not agree. he has a confrontation, essentially, with the defense secretary. this is not working out. we need more troops, we need more resources. he bluntly tells him, no, forget it. i disagree, move on. pretty striking stuff. no one has said this in public. at that point, i knew we had a big story on our hands through the washington post. generals, diplomats admitting these failures in afghanistan. it is much worse than you think. i think most americans at that point, they understood the war was not going well. despite all of this rosy talk from their leaders. if it drags on for two decades, by definition, it is not going very well. they thought that it was important to tell the story as best as we could based on these

bush became president, got 40% of the latino vote. donaldck at 2012, the previous republican nominee mitt romney got 27%. so my question to you as, when it counts for that variability? and how can democrats turn the tide again with latino voters? >> one of the things that we saw in the 2020 election was that fundamentally a referendum on the economy, reopening the economy and covid and all of those things taken together. we know that latinos were disproportionately impacted by covid. the economics of covid. so because we weren't actually talking about immigration in the same way that we were in 2016, and 2018, and wish we can be real defining issue in those two elections. -- in a 2018, those mud rooms were at the height of the separation crisis. in 2020 we saw an election that was nominated by covid and the economic reopening. as a result, we believe it gave many latino voters a permission structure to actually vote for donald trump. so now that we are moving beyond that, heading towards the midterms, we have seen a lot of activity and actio

or resources from policymakers in washington because at that point the bush administration was really focused in iraq. in 2006, donaldrumsfeld asked me why things were deteriorating in the south of afghanistan. i said we do not have enough resources. general, what do you mean? i said we do not have enough troops and resources and we have raised expectations about the war. rumsfeld said, general, i do not agree. he has a confrontation, essentially, with the defense secretary. this is not working out. we need more troops, we need more resources. he bluntly tells him, no, forget it. i disagree, move on. pretty striking stuff. no one has said this in public. at that point, i knew we had a big story on our hands through the washington post. generals, diplomats admitting these failures in afghanistan. it is much worse than you think. i think most americans at that point, they understood the war was not going well. despite all of this rosy talk from their leaders. if it drags on for two decades, by definition, it is not going very well. they thought that it was important to tell the story as best as we could based on these

bush did the exact same thing. and if you read stephanie grisham book, she was donald trump's. i communications director for a long time. she said that donald trump also underwent a colonoscopy, but refused to sign over many authority to mike pants because he didn't want any one else to be president. so as a kind of routine thing. i and joe biden expected to be back at the white house in a couple of hours because he's got a big job to do. he's got to pardon to thanksgiving turkeys. i kid you not. he's back during that and then he's heading to delaware, where he'll celebrate his birth the this weekend. so big day for joe bite, big c for camel harris and a big day really for the united states as well. and the turkey i i didn't, i still forget. yes, exactly. butter and jelly of the names of the 2 turkeys. let's not forget, it's a big deal for them. wow. if they have any idea what else was holding on? i never thought we'd discuss turkeys, colonoscopy, birthdays and turkey. oh, let's leave it there for now. shall we allen? thank you. right, let's move on a sudan now, where protest i

this is came to standard procedure, george w bush did it when he underwent his a routine medical and also had a colonoscopy. when donald trump went to the hospital, you remember there was a saturday when he disappeared very quickly. heading off to walter reed. no one knew it was was a lot of speculation. stephanie gresham, who is his communications sexier, was his communications director route and her book that it was just for a colonoscopy. one, he didn't want people to know he was going through a colonoscopy, which is pretty standard procedure when he gets to his age and, and he's going from medical. but also he didn't want to say no over authority. well, joe biden will be talking about for weeks when is he going to get his medical? it's happening. it's happening at war to readers. were president school. and during the period when he is under sedation for the colonoscopy, he hands overpower very briefly at to campbell harris. it's standard procedure as i say, there was a problem during the reagan presidency when alexander haig, who was his chief of staff, said i'm in charge rather than the vice president cotton, the

being a traitor to donald trump's and donald trump's wishes and donald trump's cause so, you know, you can't imagine this happening under a bush administration. you can easily imagine this happening with trump as the leader of the party, his personality. his viciousness and his crazy n.e.t. has entirely infected this party and we saw that visited on all of us on january 6th and this is part of the phone call and god hips all in terms of what could happen next. >> republicans did not deal with this during the trump campaign starting in 2015 when he started to say things like i'd punch him or drag him out of here, when people stood up at his rallies, they have not dealt it during the trump presidency or not dealt with it since the attack on the capitol on insurrection day and they don't do it within their own family. we'll show you a screen shot. this is paul ghostary, republican congressman of arizona who thinks it's funny. you see the face of alexandria ocasio-cortez and see the face of paul gosar. this is a doctored animated video in which if we hit play and we won't do do it, he wields a sword and kills her and then turns to

other candidates in the race including the son of jeb bush and the incumbent ken paxton who has the backing of donalddence that the former governor sexually harrassed several women and cuomo was not fully transparent about the number of nursing home deaths in the state during the covid-19 pandemic. cuomo, of course, resigned back in august and has denied the allegations. listen to this staggering statistic, $116,000 in airline fines racked up by eight people for, quote, alcohol-related unruly behavior that. announcement from the faa today. this year the agency has received nearly 300 reports of disturbances due to alcohol. a sobering thought as 20 million people will fly for the thanksgiving holiday. thanks for joining us today. ana cabrera continues our coverage right now. >>> hello and thanks for being with us. i'm ana cabrera in new york. the fate of these three men on the trial of ahmaud arbery is now in the hands of the jury. deliberations have been under way for just over an hour in brunswick, georgia, and all of this nearly tw

bush presidential campaigns, these days with the lincoln project, his latest work is an important book called it was all a lie. how the republican party became donald. good evening, and welcome to you both. and stuart, i don't have to tell you, no one has to tell you, that this label out of touch destroyed george bush 41. and, it made him vulnerable to attack from the young and vigorous bill clinton. is this white house allowed a day to feel good knowing what's coming down the pipe, and looking across this country from washington to the port of los angeles, at the problems that lay ahead. >> yeah, look, i think it's a day that they should feel good, they just passed historic bill that is going to fly across the country dropping monies on a lot of projects that people really like. you know, we spent 6.5 trillion in afghanistan and iraq, and now we're gonna spend a lot more money here at home. i mean arguably we spend more money on infrastructure in iran and iraq in over the last 20 years and we have in the united states. so i think it's historic, it's something that republican said they were gonna do, but if you had been a child born in the first we

that's higher than donald trump was throughout most of his presidency and higher than bush throughoutand is because democrat just can't deliver on this bill. >> right. >> let's remember that president biden was elected with the over arching promise that the government can work together and deliver for citizens. that's a harder case to make when it's not doing so and it's his own party here. >> republicans is not supporting this. that needs to be stated every time. it's democrats alone who are unable to do this right now. no question. we heard terry mcauliffe have been pleading for weeks to get that infrastructure deal to be done by election day. that didn't happen. the argument on the other side from the progressives that if we pass this bipartisan bill which has gone through the center. if the house says okay, that gets done. does that give a victory of this piece of legislation becomes law. if that point they're furious, the reconciliation bill never happens. at that point they lost all leverage. democrats who are reluctant and dictated the process here. i think that's going to be a

there were a lot of people who grew up with reagan and bush, and they want to be republicans, and they couldn't in good conscience vote for donald so they had this pent-up demand, and i don't think biden -- i think there was an opportunity where democrats could have brought them in and made them part of a governing coalition. that didn't happen for whatever reason. i think they were yearning to vote for someone other than donald trump, and i think glenn youngkin gave them that opportunity. and for whatever reason, donald trump mostly stayed out of this race. i don't completely understand why, not having twitter, of course, which would be helpful. he could have saab tonaled this race the way he sabotaged georgia. i think that's maybe one of the things hanging over what happens next year in the midterms like will donald trump be disciplined enough. i think, again, you know, if history is a predictor, that's going to be a really big challenge for republicans to let their candidates shine in places like virginia. so stay tuned for that. >> moments of discipline for trump are rare indeed. adrienne elrod and matt lewis, this is a terr

i mean, we've had a long history before donald trump of presidential candidates like mitt romney, john mccain, george w. bushdeal, who have explicitly condemned and told the country if they're racist, there is no home for them in the republican party. this is a more recent phenom' norngs obviously led by donald trump. >> i can't disagree with you there. >> but most republicans in public office are explicit about condemning racism. >> i have to disagree with you there. they may be a bit more articulate in their approach, their policies are damaging. they may not be as clumsy as donald trump. but their policy supported a system of white supremacy. can i go through all those presidents you named and pick out specific pieces of that are damaging for people that look like me and you. a bicker part of the frustration is the way our colleagues handle questioning a in journalism. when you see journalists talk to parents, which mostly means white parents and they ask them questions about crt or ask questions about things happening in society and never ask the follow-up question. they never introduce race when they're

bush could do it down there. he did it around richmond as well but in the donald trump ages, republicans are toxic in the suburbs. glenn youngkin's got to run it up down here and somehow that's why he's been talking about schools and about parents' choice cut into what is a huge democratic advantage there. >> in terms of timing, what can we expect to start seeing returns tomorrow? obviously, early votes, mail-in ballots could be a big factor. >> you are not going home early if that is the context of your question, anderson. i would expect a very long night. i say that because number one, you have a close race. number two, we have another unusual covid era election as well. you mentioned the early voting. virginia does not have a history of early voting, really, until the covid election of 2020. in the last race for governor, shy of 200,000 votes cast early. we have more than 1.1 million. this is as of sunday. monday was the final day of early voting. and so, you have when early voting closes so 1.1 million votes to be counted so what does that mean? remember 2020 when, early on, some of the early votes came in fi

bush, to read the tea leaves. ron, great to see you. is the lesson from last night that republicans did an awful lot better without donald trump on the ballott donald trump on the ballot? good evening to ou, trump on the ballot? good evening to you. laura- — trump on the ballot? good evening to you. laura- i — trump on the ballot? good evening to you, laura. ithink— trump on the ballot? good evening to you, laura. i think what _ trump on the ballot? good evening to you, laura. i think what we _ trump on the ballot? good evening to you, laura. i think what we learned i you, laura. i think what we learned last night is that the republicans listened to voters across the united states. they listened and they heard that inflation is really, really making an impact on their lives, gasoline prices are too high, food prices are going up, and the sleeper issue for me in this race is education. parents having seen their kids home for the last year and a half and the pandemic were a little alarmed at what they'd seen some of their students curriculum look like. so looking at the tea leaves, if i were the democrats tonight, i'd say maybe we are trying

bush could do it down there. he did it down around richmond as well. but in the donald trump ages, republicans are toxic in the suburbs. glenn youngkin has got to run it up down here. somehow that's why he's been talking about schools and parents' choice. >> in terms of timing, when can we expect to start seeing returns from early votes? mail-in ballots could be a big factor. >> i would expect a very long night. i say that because number one, you have a close race. number two, we have another unusual covid era election as well. you mentioned the early voting. virginia does not have a history of early voting really until the covid election of 2020. in the last race for governor, shy of 200,000 votes cast early. we have more than 1.1 million. this is as of sunday. monday was the final day of early voting. so you have 1.1 million votes to be counted. what does that mean? remember 2020 when early on some of the early votes came in first, right? in some states, that means the democrat jumped out to a huge early lead. joe biden was leading in ohio. joe biden was leading in te

along with laura bush and also hillary clinton for the secretary of state herself and a presidential candidate. in fact, the only former president of recent times that is not that is donald trump, a man who called in paul a described as dangerous and with whom there was little love loss. he's going to be you the joyce by 3 people. he's going to be utilized by richard armitage, who served on the colon polish deputy secretary, also madeline albright, who herself was one of his predecessors and his son michael as by mark this law say mark is achievements and his passing in october, october 18th, when he died from those complications as a result of a cobra, 1900 infection, he was vaccinated. but he was also in that high risk on the rule a category. he's suffered from a number of medical conditions for my blood cancer parkinson's disease and it was not which ended up taking his life feel. tell us a little bit more about who column. how was and his role when he was for me, you a secretary of state. yeah, i mean he was, well, it might be a number of reasons. i mean, he wasn't a career politician. he was a military man. he's a retired, retired 4 star general. he had seen action

bush, who may you're may remember -- which was a collective agreement at the time. it was also true to donald trump who removed us from the paris climate agreement. tonight, joe biden is in glasgow, scotland, for the latest version of the same summit. he already re-enter the u.s. in the parent or paris agreement, and he's a rare opportunity to actually exert some's form of u.s. leadership on this issue. as congress has poised -- to prove the largest climate investment ever. and every time we're on the cusp of one of these moment, every time there's something like paris, or glasgow, there's a bit of a groundhog day quality to it. the recurring, we're heading towards catastrophic warming, the windows closing, we must act now, miss it, followed by business as usual and if your me, followed by despair. there's something different this time, thanks to how much the technological pictures changed, we've reached a point where business as usual warning production is now considerably improved from what it was before the paris summit back in 2015. now, that doesn't mean that countries have gotten seriou

vice president like al gore was for bill clinton and dick cheney was for george bush, mike pence was invaluable for donaldwledge of the issues which reminds me of when she campaigned. she was torn apart by tulsi gabbard. she had one good line of the debate and she watched her campaign that was flushed with cash, fall on its face because of in-fighting. guess what's happening now with her staff? in-fighting, so this is no surprise. she can't run an organization, doesn't know the issues and is terrible instincts. that's what you wanted, joe biden, you got it. steve: when you look at the poll s, you know it looks like the republicans could win in 2022 and 2024 and so the democratic machine is thinking okay, if joe biden isn't up to it and neither is she, whose next? there's an item in the new york post this morning that says the guy whose next is pete buttigieg. read that on the op-ed page. ainsley: they are going more and more progressive. i think that's a mistake for them. look at what happened in virginia. pete buttigieg extremely progressive, kamala harris her voting record extremely progressive, more so

donald trump is still a very active player, hasn't given up. not like he went into retirement lie obama or bushbiden has proven to be a more polarizing figure than anybody would imagine. >> he won the primary because he wasn't polarizing. >> which may say less about him than us right now. he's turned out to generate a lot of anti pathy. >> part of that is there's a dishonesty about joe biden's candidacy. this is where democrats fail to get it. he ran as a centrist and he's governing as a very, very progressive person. for a lot of individuals, especially the rural voters, they look at that and say i'm going to vote for republicans at a higher rate because i don't like the dishonesty about it. >> i don't think that's true at all. if you look back at the way joe biden ran his campaign, the messages that he talked about, the program he talked about, are all the things he's governing on. those are the things. so it demonstrates to me that people actually care about progressive issues. we need to make sure that we're characterizing him in tght kind of way so americans take that in. >> -- how much wa

bush jr. white house to former partner paul manafort on the trump 2016 campaign is that as president, the donald didn't even bother using coded language. he said outright that white nationalists were very fine people and told freshmen congresswomen of color the squad they should go back to where they came from. openly and crudely racist comments. it became clear that the modern day post republican party if we can call it that has returned to the safer shores of the lee atwater playbook. glenn youngkin who like bush in 1988 came from behind in the polls to win last tuesday in virginia didn't campaign with trump or call african countries s hole country atwater style he went for the racist dog whistle not the bull horn. because he went all in on critical race theory, which is nothing if not a buzz word for all the words you aren't allowed to say and for all the history you aren't allowed to teach about america's racist past. as a wedge issue it really motivated white voters. according to exit polls among voters who said parent should have a lot to say in what schools teach 52% youngkin got #90% of

bush is the president, and i'm conceding. >> trevor: it's the peaceful transition of power that defined america's democracy for that long. >> that's what he didn't do, what donaldst part of the book is what i find interesting, saving the republican party, also from the dangerous policies of joe biden. >> yeah. >> trevor: you argue in the book that the problem with joe biden is that he ran as a unifier and you say he hasn't tone that. what do you mean by that? >> he ran not only as a unifier but a moderate. he was the guy in the primaries that kamala harris and cory booker and bernie sanders and all were saying wasn't liberal enough, he's too moderate. now all of a sudden his policies are way left. >> trevor: he said if i win we'll put forward some to have the most progressive policies this country's ever seen. >> but the theme of his campaign was not that. he was going to bring the country back together. you can't unify the country by going way left or right because most of the country is not way left or right. we can't deny a guy elected president with over 300 electoral votes just a year ago is now in a situation where his approval ratings are in the low 40s,

bush who you may remember removed us from the protocol, which was a collective agreement at the time, and also true under donaldte agreement. tonight, joe biden is in glasgow scotland for the latest version of this same summit. he reentered the u.s. and the paris agreement to curb emissions, and he's a rare opportunity to actually exert some form of u.s. leadership on this issue as congress is poised to possibly approve the largest climate investment ever. and every time we're on the cusp of one of these moments, every time there's something like paris or glasgow, there's a bit of a groundhog day quality to it. the recurring, we're headed toward catastrophic warming, the window is closing, we must act now or we'll miss it, followed by, business as usual, and if you're me, lots of despair, but there is something different this time thanks to how much the technological picture has changed. we've reached a point where business as usual warming projection is now considerably improved from what it was before the paris summit back in 2015. now, that doesn't mean that countries have gotten serious or that anyone frank

donald trump to be okay with that. i was surprised by his level of restraint, wolf, especially when in the final 48 hours it seemed like the big moaz bush 41 would have said the momentum was at the back of youngkin. i'm sure trump wanted to go to alexandria, as he said in a tweet that he was contemplating doing. so will the former president continue to have a sufficient level of restraint with republican candidate? will he allow them to stay at arm's length? that remains to be seen. >> yeah. good point. you would think what happened was a wake-up call for democrat, and today they're back to squabbling amongst themselves of what's in and what's out of the president's economic plan. they still don't seem to have a specific strategy, at least not yet, do they? >> no, they don't. you've seen a move on the house side to put the paid family leave back in. it doesn't look like that would actually pass the senate. there is a broad ideological and racial and socioeconomic diversity in the democratic party and sometimes that is a strength and sometimes it is a hindrance, and we see that now with negotiations trying to knit together something that

bush. it has been the current guy, the current guy. joe biden has been making that same argument in court. one thing so important to remember, however, even if donald trump can somehow invoke executive privilege, that is not going to be the end of it. they will have to do a balancing act like they did in the richard nixon case. what is the need for the documents to come out and how important is it they remain secret. . >> even if he's not successful, it takes time. which may be the point here. walk us through what is next and how long in total this could take >> yeah. we're in front of the district court now. now, the judge has an interesting history here. she has gotten several of the january 6th cases relating to the criminal cases against rioters. and she's made interesting statements about the way she views what happened on january 6th. she said in one case, quote, a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected deposit and a very real danger to our democracy. that shows judge chutkan takes what happened january 6th very, very seriously. we are at the lowest level, u.s. district court. that's trial court. whofr loses this case, and they

bush for part of that administration. he's also the author of the "president's book of secrets: a history of the president's daily brief." this is called chapter 9, "donalde challenge." explain why he was the most difficult since nixon, david. >> unique actually is a very good summary. john did a good job with that title because it conveys so much. it wasn't that donald trump was un-briefable. he did have intelligence briefings during the transition, and he did keep them through much of his presidency, but those briefings were decidedly different than with any other president. because donald trump did not want to sit there and listen to the objective facts as judged by the intelligence community. he wanted to talk. he wanted to interrupt. he wanted to ask questions. and not really focus on what the evidence was as much as what he thought the evidence was. that led to a very difficult relationship for an intelligence enterprise that has been built up over decades solely to get objective information before the president. >> look, you've written about this, every president is different in their engagement style, but there's this absorbing of the information

bush had a colonoscopy, transferred power to the vice president, dick cheney, for a short period of time. it's routine for presidents except that is for former president donaldso resistant to the idea of transferring power to mike pence that he underwent in 2019 a colonoscopy without anesthesia. i don't want to ever find out what that's like, but that tells you something about how strongly donald trump felt about holding those powers to himself. joe biden clearly has a different frame of mind and so we'll see that happen today. >> sanjay, it's the eve of biden's 79th birthday. these are of course routine medical exams for all sitting presidents. what do doctors lock out for in general but also his particular medical history? >> yeah. i mean, the biggest part of the procedure would probably be this colonoscopy as john was just describing, but, you know, he is going to be 79 years old. he does have a past medical history, which, you know, we know about, and i think it's going to target some of what the routine physical is going to focus on. we'd show you some of that, but he has a history of atrial fibrillation. his heart will be examed as part of this. he has

donald trump was still the president of the united states is nonsense. >> so the judge expected to preside over this case, was appointed by trump, and once fought to block congressional subpoenas targeting bush so if you are bannon's legal team, does that make you optimistic. >> well, the basis for bannon's decision to say that he cannot be responsive is on executive privilege. he has a very weak argument for that. unlike say a mark meadows where you think about executive privilege is about trying to get that frank, candid conversation with members of your cabinet or your inner circle or in this case the inner oval, so you have a stronger argument to say that you want to promote that because the privilege protects the institution of the presidency, not just the incumbent, and so president biden has already said on a case-by-case basis he'll analyze whether to assert or reject the previous assertion by the predecessor donald trump. mark meadows has a stronger though not as successful claim, but steve bannon not having been part of the administration, had already waived whatever privilege he thinks he has but publicly announcing things through mediums like his own podcast undermines legitimate

republicans who in the old days had no qualms calling out george bush or john mccain but continue not to do that to this day when it comes the donald. >> we talk about how he has the party in a way in his pocket more so than any other point. probably more so than when he was president of the united states and the way they have fallen into line with his wantings. even though he doesn't have his rallies on mainstream television and that he is called out for his lies that has not changed anything about how the base, the republican base, views him. and kinzinger and how his political career ended in the past few days is just the most recent stark example of that. the jeff flakes of the world are long gone. they are now ambassadors for joe biden. >> for joe biden, yeah. >> and trump continues to move on in a way that is -- you know, it's incredibly profound. and more grave today than i ever thought it would be. >> especially after costing them control of the house and the senate and the presidency. it's amazing. mike schmidt, carol leonning, thank you so much for being part of our conference. >>> tomorrow voters in virginia will learn w

donald trump. in one book he's a straight up economic populist. the whole reason he voted for trump he didn't like trade deals and political dynasties like the clintons and bushes different lenses. i'm not saying in a way misleading but in a way that reflected in some ways their own views for trump. >> it's jonathan lemire. i guess we want to get you to look forward here. he is still very much on the stage. mechanisms moving behind the scenes to set up another run. even if he doesn't follow through with the campaign a lot of people who would emulate him would. how can we as the media, as the informed american populace, handle this, the return of trumpism to the stage? >>> first off, i think the media is such a broad category. there's different people who do different things. my job is very different from what you all are doing on a show like "morning joe." i think that not getting caught up in some of the ongoing debate over what is the exact proper word choice that we need to use to describe this particular phenomenon is -- i think that was a distraction during a lot of the trump era. i think, you know, never underestimating -- one of the things we were thinki
