my sixth grade son is taking a test on the constitution today and he and i have been going over checks and balances and the separation of powers. if the legislative branch cites an individual in the executive branch or the orbit of the executive branch for contempt of congress and there is in consequence, then what kind of check and balance is that? it s really isn t much. i suppose you could say it s a stain on someone s reputation. it will be a footnote in the history books going forward, but you are absolutely unfortunately, at least for the congress, certain remedies that it may have in order to enforce subpoenas is dependent upon either the courts or the executive branch. and so that s just the way it is. and unless there is some changes either through legislation, perhaps legislation, maybe the only way, i think it really does take a situation like this one where you have an attorney general based upon the facts
despicable. i want to apologize for those members of this committee who ve done so, and i want to thank you for standing in the breach when so many, including many in this room, failed to do so. congresswoman cheney is the subject of the latest column by my next guest, new york times columnist tom frieden. want to get perspective from tom who is also author of numerous books including the world is flat. tom, i want to speak about your column in a moment but first, i know you have spoken at length with congresswoman liz cheney. what do you make of what we just heard, her praising general milley for his loyalty to the constitution today and and chastising very directly her republican colleagues? she is just doubling down on the principle stand that she s taken. you know, anderson, congresswoman cheney and i probably disagree about 90% of policies. but we agree 100% on what moment we re in right now. we re in a gigantic an

how long can any republican on trump s revenge list hold on? well, i i think the question for them people like adam kinzinger and liz cheney who have stood on principle against donald trump. the question is they have to ask themselves is do they belong to a political party um that no longer exists? i mean, that the party they used to think existed no longer exists and a party they are out of step with. i think they are. i think everything is pointed in that direction. um, i don t think i think it s going to be very difficult for those two to survive in the party. so i think they have to say what can we do? and in my viewpoint, don, this is my viewpoint, i think we need two enlightened political parties that are for the constitution. we don t have those today. there is only one party that supports the constitution today, the democrats. and who support the idea of the common good. the republicans don t. and either, you are going to go as these as former republicans enjoin
