I am really glad you highlighted that. Thank you my friend. Thank you, theyre doing great work. Thank you, tom for joining us. When mary trump came out about her uncle about the president a few weeks ago, you remember that book, it became number one best seller, it sold a zillion cop s copies. There is a lot in the book that honestly more flushed on the bones that we already have a feeling of when it comes to this book. New details of racism and sexist from him. The book is full of alarming information thats why it is sold widely. But, i will tell you, reading it what i felt reading it that a lot of the worse stuff in the book fit the general contours of what we already come to learn about the president of his public life. It gave us more details and further antidote bolsters what we already know for a lot of the big stuff. Thats it. There were a few things in mary trumps book that stood out absolutely new and at least when i read the book for the first time just disconnect from anythi
President and tax fraud by the president. New detail about racist and sexist stuff from him. New detail about displays of cruelty from him over the course of his life. The book was full of alarming information. Thats why it sold so widely. But ill tell you, reading it, what i felt reading is that a lot of the worst stuff in the book, frankly it did sort of fit the general contours of what wed already come to learn about the president over his time in public life. It gave us more detail. It gave us further anecdotes that bolstered what we might have already known for a lot of the big stuff. That said, there were a few things in mary trumps book that stood out as absolutely new, and at least when i read the book for the first time, just disconnected from anything i had previously known about him, including this passage i want to share with you, a short passage from chapter 11 of mary trumps book. Its a scene where mary and her brother, fritz, are talking with their uncle robert. Their un
And one he may have very well made worse by refusing to it may illustrately expos him to conviction in the senate and criminal charges. This was last night with my colleague. What was shocking, as you mentioned, visitors arent allowed in the capitol complex. Since march, since the start of covid thats been shut down. All tours are shut down. The only reason you have a visitor is on official visit, so to see these groups around the capitol complex was really striking. My chief of staff called the sergeantatarms to say what is going on, and he reiterated the only way they could have gotten sweet the complex with a member or that members it was. We now know the violent groups had inside knowledge of the capitol grounds. The plot thickens. Theres also new reporting today on what the attack was not. It was not an intelligence failure. Law enforcement knew exactly what was planned and where. The top intelligence official inside the new York City Police Department Says so, and says his Depart
Rangel was none too pleased this morning. Its embarrassing as hell. Weve been through all this with mitt romney, and we were very hard on mitt romney with his women binders. It is worth noting that this trend is not consistent with the president s record. Currently eight women serve in cabinet level positions, making up 35 of his team. Less than onequarter of george w. Bushs cabinet was made up of women. That merely mirrors of percentage of high level women appointed to federal positions outside the white house. 35 under president obama, and 25 under george w. Bush. Equally worth noting both of president Obamas Supreme Court appointments were women. Perhaps the real question about diversity within the president s inner circle isnt biological, but intellectual. The washington posts ezra cline notes that president obama hasnt named an outsider to his Economic Team since his initial 2009 picks. In a little over an hour the president will nominate jack lu for treasury secretary, a man who
Our children while not affording them any of the benefits that make our country so great. But even if john mccain has changed his tune, getting the house gop to harmonize may not be so easy. Michael steel spokesman for john boehner, was decidedly noncommitmental on the issue. The speaker welcomes the work of leaders like senator rubio on this issue and is looking forward to learning more about the proposal in the coming days. Majority leader eric cantor would not comment on a portion of the bill that offers a path to citizenship. Congressman Raul Labrador offered creating a new pathway to citizenship is nott a good day, and lamar smith minced no words. The Senate Proposal actually compounds the problem by encouraging more illegal immigration. Anticipating broad outcry from their right wing flank, republican authors began emphasizing just how incredibly difficult it will be to actually become a citizen. Let me tell you the path to citizenship is a long and advisone. It would be cheaper
