leahy: accomplishing legislation is more difficult.cept with each other, and work out -- try to pass things. you go back to lyndon johnson. he had a number of senators wh supported segregationo. he brought people together and it required hard work. jackson did the same thing. they would bring in republicans and work with them and get it done. i worry that, and i appreciate a number of things the so-called progressives stand for on climate control and education, and all, but it is one thing to talk about it, it is another thing to accomplish it. in a lot of these things, you have to settle for 85% this year with legislation. get that other 15% next year. it is never an all or nothing game. lisa: do think president biden is the right person to lead that effort post 2024? sen. leahy: well, he has done a lot of great legislation -- gotten a lot passed. he's lowered the deficit in many ways. and, most importantly, he brought us back into the world of nations. look at the animosity that donald trump hasn't shown towards nato and other countr

independent primaries are hoping for a tie chance at the soon to be vacated, seeing when senator patrick leahy we stepped out of new england, things get a bit more dicey. the republican party is pulling back doctor scott johnson for the gop candidate for governor. he is a practicing physician who refuses to get the covid-19 vaccine. and claims that the number of covid deaths were inflated in skewed by people who would have died anyway. i suppose he has a point. we are all eventually going to die, so why -- anything, really. in case you are wondering how the potential future governor feels with election integrity, he addressed a group of republicans last year calling to make voting harder than it was last. year he said this about the big lie superspreader, and my fellow ceo. quote, mike lindell is going to work his tail off to get rid of voting machines, and we should thank him for that. the big lie is also on the ballot in wisconsin. pence backed governor cleavage challenging tim michaels. both candidates have questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election. michael is going so far as to say th

. -- i read -- again, there was a big book on william leahy. a big peter baker's book on james baker on chiefs of staff. and i began to hear this, it's a manly job, for manly man, looking for a man present, and all aren't all of these men great because they are such men, like linebackers protecting a quarterback or like bouncers throwing it shrunk out of a bar? this damage is -- edith because she has to be a woman. she has to be the first lady, but she stepped in in the i thie was there to help not to in any way get in the way of reagan. he was in there to make sure that his his agenda was fulfilled and then and then he was the gatekeeper to do that. my theory is edith was the first two whether you thought think she should do it or shouldn't have whether we will see her like again, probably not with a 25th amendment and the anti-nap autism act, but she was a much more important person maybe than we her credit for being thank you. thank you so much for that really enlightening presentation and now it is my pleasure and keep your questions in you

the question arises as to what would have happened if pence and others, including pelosi or leahy orothers had become infected. and for me, the issue is not just illness in terms of whether or not these people would have died, but other forms of incapacitation. so, what happens if somebody isn't dead, but there is somehow incapacitated in a way that makes it difficult for them to make appropriate decision-making but not so in that the people around them are really willing to invoke on the fourth section of the 25th amendment to try to take them out of power? i think a recent example of trump having covid is one example, certainly not the only one, where someone like mike pence wouldn't want to look like he was trying to coerce or co-opt power away from trump by saying, you know, he needs to step down from power. obviously trump wasn't going to invoke the third section and say, i personally don't feel like i'm in good enough shape, even though i'm in the hospital, even though i have a high fever, even them getting all this treatment, to really discharged the duties of my office effici

forgive $10,000 in debt but not change anything in regards to the rising cost of tuition as senator leahyn't. add to inflation, add to the deficit. completely political. this is all about buying the support of college students and recent college graduates who they worry won't turn out to vote. it just stinks from top to bottom. it is a sign of the desperation of the administration and a sign of their willingness to bend the boundaries in order to achieve a political goal. >> bill: truth is school is absurdly expensive, we can agree on that. >> absolutely. >> bill: you have to look at where the cost is coming in. >> exactly. but this does nothing to that. it encourages it. not only that but remember we are going to grant a special privilege of debt forgiveness to a small group of people and have every taxpayer pick up the tab not only today but in years to come because this is $300 billion added to the deficit period, end of story. this is not paid for. this is not offsets. this is nothing. this is pure addition to the demand. a lot of people say $10,000 of my obligation are wiped out. let
