members of congress were arrested at an abortion protest for blocking traffic. they were warned three times to move, including you alexandria ocasio cortez who you see getting arrested by capitol police. and here is what member ilhan omar taking the same position. both have their hands behind their back acting like they were handcuffed, but the handcuffs were invisible. you can see for yourselves, they were holding their hands behind their back seemingly to appear they were handcuffed for a photo op. thanks to the media, they got their wish. abc and nbc, of course, plastering their pictures all over with their hands behind their back. let s pull up the slo-mo video of aoc, julie, this is amazing. i have watched this a few times. i really like the one where they have braveheart and lift up her fist. freedom, like from the movie braveheart, you see the hair top. then you see dutifully resume the position of handcuffs and then a free frame of her smiling at the camera because
and they get caught up in gunfire. these are innocent victims like a 1-year-old and a man holding a parking spot. when will it stop? how many times about people coming out and blaming gun control for it. it is the fact defund the police as you brought up has been such a movement in this country and the cops literally have their hands tied. and taken away years ago so cops when they believe someone is carrying a weapon, they can t actually frisk them until he pulls out the gun and shoots. all the laws are against them. there is no way to get ahead of the crimes. kat: right, someone like me i ve been criminal justice department advocate for years. i don t believe in stopping civil liberties violation. i also think that what we have seen in the past few years with showing lenience to even violent criminals who commit violent crimes, that can, you know, be out on the street sooner.
good to have both of you on. thank you so much. susan, president trump repeatedly, about eight times, pressed ukraine s president in a july phone call to investigate joe biden s son. again, that is according to the wall street journal. is this legal? he s asking a foreign power to dig up dirt on a political rival. yes. i think there s a little bit of a risk here of getting overly focused on this question of is there a quid pro quo, can we meet sort of specific legal elements here? put that all to the side for a minute. separate and apart from the question of whether or not he actually used congressionalally authorized aid money to effectively extort a foreign leader, we do know he brought this up. he pressured a foreign leader to investigate a political opponent absent a criminal predicate. a u.s. citizen. this is a grotesque civil liberties violation. it s a breach of his oath of office. it is impeachable conduct full
stop before we even need to get into the question of whether or not there were those additional astonishing aggregating factors of in order to accomplish this civil liberties violation, did the president take money that congress had appropriated in order to provide foreign aid to a foreign country and effectively use it to pressure that foreign country in order to provide this dirt on one of his political opponents, to effectively pressure a foreign government to interfere in the united states election. so this is unbelievably disturbing. i think it is probably the single most serious allegation that has come out of this white house, and frankly one of the most serious allegations of wrongdoing in the history of the united states presidency. and i do not make that statement lightly. i really don t. wow. max, i want to know what you think about this because as i said to you when you were sitting here before you came on, you had a column every day this week. it s been a crazy week.
like viola. when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, her team at ctca created a personalized care plan that treated her cancer and strengthened her spirit. so viola could focus on her future. their future. this is how we inspire hope. this is how we heal. cancer treatment centers of america. appointments available now. trump asking a foreign leader for dirt on joe biden. you can say that it was a totally appropriate conversation. it was actually a beautiful conversation. it s just another political hack job. he pressured a foreign leader to investigate a political opponent? this is a grotesque civil liberties violation. it s a breach of his oath of office. antonio brown is gone. star wide receiver antonio brown dropped by the new england
