chinese president? and they weren t with me the entire time. maria: they weren t with him the entire time, john, and he says, yeah, they re just not going to be transparent. why don t they just release the splint i m not buying that he even brought it up, but even if he did, what do you think about his answer there? well, none of that s good. you know, does not remember the conversation he had with president xi. if he had a three-and-a-half hour summit, i m not sure what s worse, that he did raise issue as he s now claiming, contrary to press reports, that he did raise the issue that the a u.s. intelligence community, all 18 agencies find that the lab leak at wuhan is one of only two plausible explanations that caused the pandemic and killed a million americans or that president, and i s response to that was, as you just heard from joe biden, no, we re not going to cooperate, you know, go pound sand, get lost, you know? none of those scenarios is good,
people in the caucus, hey, go pound sand. if you don t shut up, i m going to strip you of your committee assignments. that s how this works. kevin is playing scared. when you play scared, nothing good happens. well, and, i mean, i know it is not lost on all of us here on the show this morning that it is not just a danger to the republican party. what s happening now, these comments we re talking about, are a danger to members of congress and to muslim americans. i mean, it s unspeakable, that these have gone unchecked. yet, minority leader mccarthy has yet to publicly condemn lauren boebert s islamaphobic remarks that sparked this all. even as another video surfaces of her implying ilhan omar was a terrorist. the latest video was from an event in september. watch. one of my staffers on his first day with me got into an
he can defeat prutrump. that should be the plank in the perform. his appeal is, remember me? i m back. i got this, guys. he s talking about electability. there s a reason he said beat trump like 19 times. but he s trying to make the case that the democratic party is not divided. for all of the talk about the progressive insurgency taking over the party, he s very popular. and he s going to be able to unite all of the wings of the party. what he was saying is let s deal with that later. i can get that done and i can win here. for those of us that are hold enough to remember 2016, these electability numbers go up and down. it s hard to look at a poll and take it seriously this far out. but biden is making the case. we can talk about the deals and the legislative goals, but he said this explicitly, we can t do any of this unless we beat
president committed a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. this shows conduct that is unbecoming to be president. whatever a high crime or misdemeanor is. and that s a point that you haven t gotten attention. she s putting her finger on something you re not hearing about. we re talking about the standards of the office here. our president shouldn t be a control. and you shouldn t be one step above a criminal. maybe several steps. yes. that s what his tweet storm got to. i don t know if you were watching five minutes ago, we had a supporter of the president saying, what he did was not that bad. there was nothing illegal there. the longer this goes on and the more we understand that, you don t have to be a criminal, the
the argument that congress hasn t made the case for doing this. there s no reason why they should need to have these. richard taylor went back to a 1924 statue to do it. the laws say they can ask for any tax return. and treasury shall provide. i think it s point-blank expressly written. however, this is a broader issue we re seeing. it s not just mnuchin saying, go pound sand. it s the sitting attorney general. it s the health care. it s every subpoena that congress has issued has not been cooperated with and will not be cooperated with. it s about congress ability to be a check and balance. trump has exposed a design flaw in this check and balance system. congress has no authority to enforce anything at the end of the day. they could go back and throw him in jail. but outside of that, congress has nothing they can do to
