that was a hair brained scheme it was ridiculous. in the call trump offered up his attorney general to help facilitate the scheme barr says he had nothing to do with it. the president lumped you in with rudy guiliani as being the points of contact to make this happen i was livid reporter: four weeks after the election barr s relationship with the president came to a head when he told a reporter there was no widespread election fraud. that trump had simply lost it led to a blow up at the white house. i told him that all of this stuf and it was wrong to f was [ bleep about the election fraud and it was wrong to be shoveling it out the way his team was. you re trying to set him straight. yes and, you know, he listened he was obviously getting very angry about this you know, i said, okay well look, i understand you re upset with me and i m perfectly happy to
have that crucial vote take place. so we ve talked about kind of what might be in, what might be out here. there s also how do you pay for some of this, right, or pay for all of it, i guess, and senator krysten sinema says she s not going to raise tax hikes on the rich. there is this billionaires tax, on the 7500 richest people in america here. can you shed any light on those discussions, what that looks like? senator mitch mcconnell, i m sure will not surprise you, just called had a hair-brained scheme. i think many are surprised that this is something that is on the table, and as you know, many progressives have been pushing for taxing billionaires, and the fact that this is something that is being proposed
and then let s have the court case and the arguments about it. but in the interim, let s make sure women s rights are protected. and what are the prospects of that being successful, neal? i think they re very high in the trial court and the court of appeals, even though the court of appeals is a very conservative one, the fifth circuit. there is nobody who thinks that the texas law complies with roe versus wade. not even the people who wrote the texas law. that s why they went through this hair-brained scheme of vigilantes because they were afraid of courts reviewing what they were doing. now the justice department has called them on it and said, okay, maybe individuals can t sue, but certainly we, the justice department, can and that s what they have done. and so i think it s a very successful lawsuit through at least the court of appeals. then the question is, is the supreme court going to overturn roe versus wade. and are they? well, i think we ll let that court case proceed
even things like that, it makes people nervous. should the american people be concerned that we re being pushed in the direction of war with iran, having already seen this movie play out in iraq? i think there are several things to be concerned about. first of all, on the issue of finding dirt, it sounds like a hair brained scheme. if they thought taking away ben rhodes reputation was going to sink the iran deal one way or the other, that s just screwry. they need better espionage if that s what they re up to. on a more serious note, robert is right, what netanyahu is saying is that these documents from 2003 show that iran has and always will want to build a nuclear bomb. there s no dispute. that s why i opposed the deal, but my side lost. we made the deal, and so far iran has been living up to the deal. now the question becomes, what do we gain if we pull out?
bottom line that would help alleviate this problem? he s admitted this will go on and on for some time. because of the program being implemented and he says it s the wrong thing, it should never have been done right, let s get a straight answer of whose idea was it and what happened to the person who s idea it was. if i came up with that hair brained scheme i d expect to lose my job. congressman, your point is well taken and to your point though, and in impeaching him or at least suggesting that, the democrats are saying that wouldn t do anything at all. it s actually more expensive and more problematic to do that, so, where do you again, you ve got to get to the point of finding the bottom line of how this happened and getting eric holder to the table to give the total truth and nothing, but the truth. and that s exactly right. and if impeachment, may be the only way to do it, starting to dodging and retacting things and claiming executive privilege and lawyering up.
