we're putting orwell in the footnotes, transgressing core truths, taking the justice department to the wood shed. at this point, she's only 39 pages into a 120-page ruling but she's just getting warmed up. i mean, look at this line. "what is missing from the constitution's framework is the president's purported power to kneecap house investigations of executive branch operations by demanding that his senior-level aides breach their duty to respond to compelled congressional process." i have never seen the word, "kneecap," used as a verb in a federal court ruling before. what's missing from the constitution's power is the president's chance to kneecap -- have never seen "kneecap" used like a verb as that in the federal court ruling. i may have been reading the wrong kinds of cases, but let me just read you -- i'm going to read you couple lines here and i'm going to close with what i think is the most powerful part of the ruling. judge jackson says toward the end of this ruling tonight, "the united states of america has a government of laws and not of men. the constitution and federal la

it's much closer to orwell 1984 than the classic definition of the authoritarian system. i would love to hear your analysis. >> and there are groups to their ability to organize and inspire there is no holds barred. and whether or not the current was like north korea a maneuver with economic freedom and obviously not threatening the sovereignty to make suggestions as a whole but it brings up the other point of relationship between the chinese people in the communist party so they brought up the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation that most is confronting the threat of the party and not the chinese people. but many of them domestically with his ambition to see the global increase i would like to see china stand up so i'm curious of your viewpoints of the relationship between the chinese people in the communist party because of foreign-policy i see them being supportive of that agenda so it highlights what we are facing an even greater challenge. >> i think that's right. the degree to which there is a historic china 5000 years old with a deep sense of pride is the chin

that's something that keeps me up at night now orwell and it is a really astute observation from this book. >> that is a really excellent point. we used to work right next door to each other. i tell everybody. even somebody that isn't obsessed with politics could find in the chapters some incredibly interesting facts and understanding about that part of the country i find it more interesting in the texture, each one of the districts have something unique about it that pitted together and i learned more about america by introducing the house candidates than any other experience i could have had in covering politics because each of them brought their brand of the party was. and i had a great image and this is what we were all the moaning. this is what makes politics to me so much fun is what's in the parties you have different brands of liberalism and conservatism and you brought a regionalism to washington when you came from another part of the country. i remember heading back one was running for congress outside of jackson mississippi, so really he'd been with the commissioner and wha

> my first dad wrote a new op-ed saying "alleged bad thoughts" are not crimes, outside of george orwell's dystopian novel "1984." it's victor david hanson, joins me now. good to see you. >> good to see you, ed. >> ed: you make the case that democrats have to come up with something better than "a thought crime." what do you mean about that? >> is not against the law, at least it wasn't under the u.s. constitution to think something. if i want to think about speeding at 80 miles per hour and i talk about thinking about it but i actually don't, i'm not guilty of anything other than harboring a bad thoughts. trump may or may not, we don't really know, there is evidence suggesting he didn't come out delaying aid and eight was delayed, but it wasn't caught off. that's not a crime. there was a he didn't force thebuyers of an, didn't interfere in the sands he didn't doanything like it diy collude with the russians. >> ed: on the first point, whether there is a thought or not, when you have omb being counters, they were going around debating beyond emails out of the testimony, saying is this legal

>> orwell, i think, krista, wit this reveals is how much a company like that knows about you.y can find out all kinds of stuff.fi let me read you a couple things out of the kplacomplaint that ry reads like they've beenpl following them around in a car. twitter user five. as far as i can r tell, his nam is i this, he's -- twitter user seven, he's in turkey and has a friend or something and they use the sameso michigan state university account. i mean, we're talking act the kind of stuff that spies in the old days had to send teams out to follow you around. all you needed is one guy at a monitor and he can get 6,000 people's versions of this kind of detailed information. for me, it's -- >> that's ame literal number? 6,000? >> 6,000 is how many that he pulled, you know, and the idea right that i think at the time you had suddenly the sort of, you know,ly this kind of -- thi thrown together 25-year-old's version of what sort of an open internet model was going to be. and then you have a couple of adult spies walking in there and wreck shop. i mean, that's totally what we're, looki

if we decide to come after you, we can come after you but it's much closer to orwell 1984 then to a classicition of an authoritarian system. in the book you mentioned the follow Ãas well there are definitely groups to organize and threaten the party. they are no holds brought crushing dissent. the main question is whether or not they are crushing all this across the board. i think current china compared to methadone china or like north korea there is a little itbit more freedom of maneuver when it comes to economic eifreedoms and even to a degree within the confines obviously not threatening the sovereignty as they put it in the chinese nation of making suggestions to the party as a whole but brings up this other point which i found interesting in your book about the relationship between the chinese people and the communist party. he brought up this idea of the china dream. the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. he mentioned this is really the ambition of the party and most of your book is about confronting the threat of the party not the chinese people. in my experience, the chinese

it quotes the doj position and then says for a similar vantage point, consider george orwell and "animal farm." unfortunately for the doj, while there are strong executive powers in this country, the way that they've made contentions, quote, the trump administration has, quote, distorted separation of powers principles, quote, beyond all recognition. now neal, i would caution for viewers, this isn't a supreme court opinion. we're not rewriting the entire balance here, but what does it say to you in a case that is likely to go up and up the line that the judge is putting this mark down against these doj bar claims. >> i doubt this case will actually get to the supreme court, because i think these arguments are so silly that i just don't think the supreme court is likely to take them in tend. but that's the ultimate point. there is unitary executive theory, which is nothing to do with what bill barr said. it's about administrative agencies and things like that. what barr has said is something no responsible constitutional scholar in our history has ever adopted which is the idea that the p

devolution of hong kong to china but also a mass surveillance system that is akin to the big brother that orwell wrote about in 1904 where through very intrusive technological systems china is basically intruding into a person's faults and lives in ways that basically undermine the most basic fundamental human rights imaginable ok so let me just stop you there for a 2nd because you've come up with a a long on so that my initial question let's unpack that just in the next couple of minutes when it comes to doing a deal is beijing may be right in as much as the official line if anyone can corner them. officially their response it might just be a trickle down but the response to was the same saying this is look this is a domestic situation we are sorting it and it's about people that we do not trust to do the wrong thing with in our sovereign country. well 1st of all that's quite fascinating to see that many leaders travel to china and they actually want to put pressure on china with regards to say its currency or with regards to it opening its market so if by that very same logic then they should

stuart: you ever read "1984" by george orwell? because i have several times.ead. that's big brother. you just described a horrendous big brother situation. >> it comes to mind immediately. now, in fairness, they already have much of this data just by your location data on your telephone. your location data tells you whether or not you've been to the fast food or whether you've been to the place to work out. obviously, they're interested in buying fitbit, that's in the news recently. so you could then feed into somebody's activity level, perhaps how often they fall, are they at risk for parkinson's because their gait has become short and shuffling. we need protection. stuart: yes, and the main character, winston smith, falls in love with brig -- big brother at the end of the work. senator cassidy, thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. stuart: sure thing. all right. let me move on and take a look at something completely different, the business of country music. [laughter] yeah. we have john rich, country music star, successful businessman. he's

>> i begin to my more and more of george orwell. this whole idea of an impeachment being used for political purposes. again, i come back to basics. if you can establish there was any claim for criminal activity going on between hunter biden, joe biden and that country, it doesn't matter whether he's running for king or president, if he's cometted criminal acts, we have a right, the justice department has a right to get that information. and, frankly, the congress should want that information. when it comes to the other side of this, if you can show that, again, that it was a criminal underpinning because of abuse of the fisa process or because of release of information, then, you know, these are all material witnesses. and i think that statement sort of turn the world on its head. griff: well, robert, obviously chairman schiff is blocking these witnesses, but if you look back two years ago, schiff of had a very different opinion of things, he was disturbed by subpoenas issued by republicans. listen to what he had to say. >> i don't
