interests, and these three issues that we ve talked about are going to be seminole among them and are going to be potent against, i think, republicans if they don t reverse course, which is not likely. robert gibbs, michael steele, and joyce vance, thanks to all of you and in memoriam, 20 years later we remember our nbc colleague and friend, david bloom, gone way too soon this is andrea tcmihell reports on msnbc. to verizon..

stance from china, especially over taiwan. what was the importance of this meeting today? it was bipartisan. it was very unusual. i think that is one of the greatest importance, that you are finding that one of our greatest challenges with taiwan and with china in the future is never speaking with one voice. when i became speaker, one of the first things i set out to do is create a bipartisan committee. we created a new select committee. we watched republicans and democrats together, the speaker for the first time in the house of representatives sitting down with the president of taiwan and having a discussion to foster peace for the future i think it goes with the philosophy of reagan you have watched a house be very divided be united on this issue. we want to make sure the world fosters peace, freedom and democracy. what can we do now as policymakers to make that world better speed up arms sales to taiwan. foster greater economy, be it
throw de-fund the police in there as well. let me get this straight we have spent the last how many years beating the heck out of democrats for de-funding the police, right? that s what they want to do. they want to de-fund the police. you have republicans advocating because donald trump is being held accountable under due process and the criminal justice system, now we want to de-fund the fbi, we want to de-fund the department of justice, we want to de-fund the police. go ahead, republicans. add that to the mix along with abortion and guns and see what that gets you with the american people the party is taking not a headlong but a direct spiral down into political oblivion voters now are going to look at every office, andrea, from dogcatcher to governor and assess whether or not those individuals currently in office are acting in their best
the end of the year and federal charges before the end of the year, possibly in both those cases. he could be defending himself in four cases while running for president. i would not be surprised to see donald trump ask for a delay in all of the trials until after the election then i could imagine him even having the awe udacity to say te trials shouldn t end until after the term in 2029 if he were elected. if he were elected on the federal cases at least he would not face prosecution and they would be delayed until after the election he could pardon himself. barbara, joyce, thanks to both of you ahead, more of my interview with the speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy, on one of the few issues that brings republicans and democrats on capitol hill together. china.
