comments about israel or jews but maybe not but the point is that you have the democrats now and palosi trying to figure out what do we do here do we go after omar do we go after israel is it at the sabbatical to do it then to the day peter they ended up condemning everybody everybody. oh i'm doing is eating popcorn watching this entire thing happen particularly to the democratic party because for a pointed out here i mean you see a party that is more and more divided and it's because of identity politics ok and i think it's also very important here is that it is a fundamental orthodoxy it is a taboo subject to talk about the cozy relationship congress has with apac and and there's a lot of the members of congress it is alleged that have dual citizenship that does bring up interesting questions here particularly when you're looking at american foreign policy in the middle east here again change she's broken a lot of taboos but people all of washington d.c. knows these things but talking about it is not it's not allowed it's a it's a global cavour because basically in france there was a

now at this point we have a joint statement from palosi and schumer that's chuck schumer and nancy pelosi leaders of the democrats in congress and they are essentially claiming that even though the report is out it does not fully exonerate the president of charges such as obstruction of justice and that they want these documents they want to formally report to be released without any further delay furthermore they want to basically call for questioning the attorney general as well as bob muller about the evidence they used in order to reach their conclusion let's take a listen to read by the special counsel here at the attorney general has decided not to go further into that request to release the report and the underlying evidence and to appear before the judiciary committee to answer our questions without delay. now on the day that the attorney general basically published the letter and came forward the memo basically ruling out when that was published it was pointed out that william barr the u.s. attorney general many democrats pointed out that he had authored a memo in which he had ru

question why it is or why it is it and i want to make a point that i was very very disappointed with how palosi position this whole thing instead of you know opening up the debate she completely shut it down and then threw it on the fact that omar is an immigrant and doesn't know what she's saying you know exactly the same point here i mean looking at how omar is being treated she's being treated as if she was ignorant and actually i think there's a wolf of racism talent in mind said words mean what i tell you the mean you can't think for yourself reminds me of the situation in the u.k. when mrs thatcher suddenly criticised the european union her press secretary emerged and you said madame is very sick and she won't be making a name or political comments so this is the same kind of attitude we heard from mrs pelosi like she's not qualified she doesn't speak english you know but coming back to this cycle in the american conservative by daniel erickson in fact what he says is interesting because he says that the united states gets nothing in return for the extensive military and diplomatic suppor

release of a report let's get more from particle hane in washington d.c. a quite a statement there from palosi and schumer also effectively saying that when the president says he's completely exonerated that's just not true so tell us a little bit about what the democrats plan to do now. well what they plan to do is try and get that evidence i mean let's think about one of the most surprising things in this letter was just how active the investigation was we didn't know what they were doing because he is team just didn't leak so we now know that there were twenty eight hundred subpoenas five hundred search warrants they interviewed five hundred people they got phone records they have e-mails the democrats say ok let me see that so basically what you're hearing from nancy pelosi and chuck schumer there save listen we already know the attorney general barr was biased against the special counsel that they took twenty two he took twenty two months couldn't come to a conclusion obstruction of justice and we're hearing from the chair of the judicial committee who's going to investigate this waited t

question why it is or why it is it and i want to make a point that i was very very disappointed with how palosi positioned this whole thing because at the end the day her statement was full of mar she's she's you know emigrates she doesn't speak english very well she doesn't understand the language very well and i found it instead of you know opening up the debate she completely shut it down and then threw it on the fact that omar is an immigrant and doesn't know what she's saying you know exactly the same point here i mean looking at how omar is being treated she's being treated as if she was ignorant and actually i think there's a wolf of racism right there she doesn't speak english very well she does understand the meaning of words that is a totalitarian might remind her of the situation in the u.k. when mrs thatcher suddenly criticized the european union her press secretary emerged and you said madame is very sick and she won't be making a new more political comments so this is the same kind of attitude we heard from mrs pelosi like she's not qualified she doesn't speak english you know but

the american public off because the american public is smart enough to know all they cared about palosi schumer and all the democrats we have to protect mother mother is a great man trump is going to fire him we need a place to protect the trump never fired him some never wanted to fire him now the report comes out and guess what well we have to look at it ourselves we have to see all the evidence he saw we don't really trust him because they didn't get what they wanted in the american public is going to get so sick of this and trump's going to go around the country saying i'm a i'm vindicated and the american public's going to believe that and the democrats are going to push too far it's going to backfire on them but what are your thoughts on the obstruction of justice a shade trump says the report is enough that charge but the report summary doesn't specifically say that so is he right. well but what bart and again we haven't seen the report as you correctly alluded to it's the summary the letter from the attorney general after he saw it and the assistant attorney general rosa can see

but if the democrats democrats also want to get rid of trump so they may try to muzzle these people palosi has already tried to muzzle a o.c.a. and as you point out sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't she has a lot of charisma she knows how to what a social media she's very telegenic and of course she doesn't know anything as you point out but that you know that that doesn't stop people on both sides from getting on t.v. so it's you know it's going to be it's going to be very interesting to see what happens in the election you know steve if you look at happened prior to the civil war you had the whig party was a dominant party and in a short number of years you had the emergence of the republican party because you had a crisis in the country we had herbert hoover was not reelected because of the great depression what i'm getting at here is that there are these moments in time where people are willing to experiment and i'm wondering if the democrats are going to go out on the limb here because they seem all intimidated. again their identity politics crushes their into intellectual

just a final edit reaction from you are on something that's come out of the schumer palosi statement of asli that democrats are on the mall of report and this is about the attorney general they say he is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations just a reaction from you to that statement please so we know that bar wrote a memo to president trump at the beginning of this investigation saying that there was not a possibility that a president could have struck justice by firing a an official like call me that is a problem if they if they turn in general is going to maintain the appearance of being unbiased and so i think it is reasonable to ask given that he reached out of nowhere to write that memo to tromp. whether he was really a neutral observer in a legal sense and also in a political sense so so this frames the fight that's coming up next as sugarmann professor of law at fordham university joining us from new york sir thank you very much for having shared your take expertise with us thank you and now let's bring in james boyce political histo
