the issue is, does the american public and a significant number of republicans going to read this report as see this as a nixon-esque type of situation. a former senator from pennsylvania, hugh scott, looked at all the evidence as a republican and went to the president and said, you know, we can t do this. we re not going to stand by you. if it reaches that point, we ll know. the democrats won t have to push it. but as jeffrey said, i don t see anything in the mueller leaks and other information that s been out there that rises to this level at this point. you still on team santorum? he s on team toobin. it s a beautiful thing, rick. let s just it s a whole new year. it s going to be great. how about that? let s take a break on that. coming up let s just bask on that thought for a little while. we re going to talk about the president s name in news conference only, he took no questions, of course, but did say he knows more about drones than anybody. so, there s always there
looks at the text of the constitution and inter preflts the documents, and there is no clause in the constitution that prevents a sitting president from being indicted. do you think he spent a long time looking at the text of the constitution and studying the document? one wishes he would, but yes, exactly. that s part of the problem. you actually helped draft the special counsel regulations that mueller is operating under. they do require him to abide by establish eed doj policy, is th right? that s correct. and so, the justice department has written two opinions, in 1973 and in 1999 that say, in general, a sitting president can t be indicted. however, i don t think they apply to this situation. they say in general, so they re dealing with crimes that occur while the president is in office or something like that. but this these crimes go to how he won the presidency in the first place. and the opinions don t encompass that. so imagine this, anderson, imagine we had a race of
communicating that are actually, you know, look what happened in florida with the school choice issue and the governor s race. there s opportunities for republicans from a policy point of view to begin to reach voters that are more diverse. the president steps on his message too much for him to do that effectively. but i think in the long-term, there s actually a path forward. is that because he s a racist? well, that s because he says things that are incendiary. we all know that. he says racist things. no, look, i don t think the president is a racist. i don t think he s any ist if you will, sexist, whatever. but the president does say things that are controversial, and that can offend people. and that gets in the way of his message. but isn t that the message? no, the message is the policy. i mean no. look, people don t really people are going to see a president as, you know, for what they are, you know, with all their faults.
said today when she was asked if a sitting president could be indicted. her answer got the legal and political types buzzing. we ll take a look ahead. i m ray and i quit smoking with chantix. smoking. it dictates your day. i didn t like something having control over me. i wanted to stop. the thing is i didn t know how. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke to the point that i could quit. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking, or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you ve had
