Experts. And at the u. N. On tuesday, the iranian president said his people were grappling with the harshest sanctions in history. And then the u. S. Laid on more sanctions on thursday. I interviewed irans foreign minister this week about the effects of americas maximum pressure campaign, the fate of the nuclear agreement, and iran ya s recent execution of a local sports here. First, heres my take. By declining to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, President Trump has agitated many who feel he will refuse to leave office even if he loses the november election and may even resort to violence. But the terrifying reality is that there are also mechanisms that are legal and constitutional that could enable trump to stay in Office Without actually winning the vote. The system of electing the president is complicated because it was not designed to be directly democratic. The constitution calls for states to choose the president ial electors who, in turn, gather to vote for the president
I dont need to because the Supreme Court is there, i can vote the other way, i can but vote forjoe biden because the court is there. Is that too much . I think in 2016, you did see some of those, the double haters, the people who had an unfavourable opinion of Hillary Clinton and donald trump, those broke heavily for donald trump in 2016. In 2020, i think if you like donald trump, you will vote for him and if you dont like him, you will not. What about the issue of the coronavirus, and an issue like this, it plays well, do you think it plays well for donald trump, the fact that people arent all that is responsible . Gosh i think it is pretty clear the Trump Campaign has been trying to ta ke Trump Campaign has been trying to take the focus of the pandemic, and this is the third of the issues of the Trump Campaign wants to be focused on, while the democrats would rather they be focused on coronavirus. Yes, what are the key issues or some of the key areas you think some of those issues yo
Also, millions of americans have fallen below the poverty line in a matter of months and there is no new stimulus in sight. Meanwhile, many Big Companies are booming. If you thought american inequality was bad before, you aint seen nothing yet. E ill talk to the former treasury secretary Larry Summers about the problem and the solution. Finally, what, if anything, did we really learn from the Amy Coney Barrett hearings . Noah feldman and emily baz lon are back with me to share their views. First, heres my take. Pandemics should be the great equalizer. They affect everyone, rich and poor, black and white, urban and rural, even the president of the United States contracted the virus, but covid19 has actually had the opposite effect. Early indications suggest the virus is ushering in the greatest rise in economic inequality in decades, both globally and within the United States. Despite all the concern about inequality within america, its worth noting that global inequality, the gap betwe
Moves ahead with the work of actual governing. Hes rolling out some of the most highranking nominations in appointment yet to start this week. For secretary of state, hes named anthony blinken, tapping obamas former secretary of state john kerry as a special climate envoy. Averill hanes to run national intelligence, the first woman in that role. Janet yellen, treasury secretary, a key post for the pandemic recession. So there is a lot of actual governing going on here in preparation for the new administration. But this is what were living through, this contrast of one outgoing president s antics and one incoming president s work. Because Donald Trumps postelection losses are not only piling up through that normal certification process i just mentioned, the few cases where he still has something pending have been hitting brick walls. Donald trumps lawyers, for example, had been arguing he should just have the results in pennsylvania completely reverseed. Now, a judge just tossed that ca
Could be over. Two spanish historians say they have found the holy grail, a cup said to have been used by jesus during the last supper. They say it was hidden since the 11th century inside another ancient cup housed in a basilica in spain. Stephen they found the holy grail. And they know it dates back to jesus because the bottom reads, not dishwasher safe because it hasnt been invented yet. laughter , of course, every time someone finds the holy grail skeptics come out of the woodwork just because there are 200 supposed grails in europe alone. Thats not even counting the one lil jon found. Well, folks, as a man of faith, i believe these people are charletans because ive got the real holy grail. Behold cheers and applause i discovered it this morning at our neighborhood deli. Mere miles from the sacred ground of st. Patricks cathedral. It was entrusted to me by a mysterious middle eastern man. laughter if youre familiar with Robert Langdons symbological analyses, all the signs are right
