kurt bardella, contributor to the los angeles times and usa today, and nole caseler, comedian, former staffer of the celebrity apprentice, and host of the nole kazler podcast. asha, i'm going to start with you. this is a lot, a long intro. the thing donald trump has managed to do is get away with being a tax evader, stealing documents from the federal government and taking them home, putting them in his bedroom and wherever else in his house. you could go on and on. violating the norm and the act you're not supposed to profit from being president. he's really gotten away with everything. but as a professional, somebody who has been in the fbi, who has investigated criminals, does it feel to you like accountability actually is sneaking up on him, and what do you make of this subpoena and whether or not he could try to evade it, the january 6th subpoena? >> yes, joy. i think that trump is realizing that the impunity he was enjoying for so long really was a result of the trappings of the office that he was in. and now that he's no longer president, he is in the eyes of the law a nobody.

bardella, former spokesperson for republicans on the house oversight committee. he is now a democratic strategist. and maria teresa kumar, an msnbc contributor. kurt editorial board took a stand against donald trump's comments, even if senator scott could not, writing quote, it's all to him easy to imagine some fanatic taking mr. trump seriously and literally, and attempting to kill mr. mcconnell. why is it so hard for republicans to just unequivocally condemn this rhetoric as threats against lawmakers? they are growing. >> i mean, listen. we are at a point where if you stay silent, if you don't speak out against this type of inflammatory calls for violence and racism, then you must believe in it. this is a guided spent the better part of the pandemic calling people who look like me a virus. using terms like conch flu, and china virus. putting a target on our, back and every him asian american in this country. it's not surprising that he would -- elaine shout, and that type of racist terminology. of course, what leads to the next iteration of that is violence, and we have seen that manifest itself time and time again. january six that showed us th
