Rational argument. So over the next three days, House Republicans will have to decide whether to join the senate and keep the government open or shut it down, because they cant get their way on an issue that has nothing to do with the deficit. Sounds so reasonable, but i hate to break it to you, mr. Preside president , but rational isnt what this is about. Okay. Do you know this man . Well, thats matt mead. Hes the republican governor of wyoming. Now, i know you may be asking why should i care about him . Because in 2010, a midterm year, matt mead won the last statewide general election for the wyoming Governors Office with 123,780 votes. That translated to 66 of the popular vote. His closest opponent, democratic challenger leslie peterson, took home 23 or about 43,240 votes. Now clearly thats an undeniable landslide for the republican, but meades path to the governorship wasnt easy. First he had to become the republican nominee and in the primary he won the nomination with 29 or 30,30
Our democracy, and we have learned a few hours ago that u. S. Capitol police have arrested a second person trying to bypass a security checkpoint ahead of wednesdays inaugural ceremony. This as herehearsals for the bi day were postponed this weekend due to domestic terror threats currently blanketing the country. But tonight, i join at least 81 million americans celebrating at least one of three things. First, of course, im simply grateful to witness wednesdays historic inauguration of joe biden and kamala harris, taking place amid their place and outside security even for a president ial succession, but its still taking place, after the nation and its lawmakers fought over the literal unbiased truth for nearly three months and a very, very dark day. And so secondly, im hopeful that wednesday will cap the fouryear night that has been the trump presidency. And do so without any further loss of life. For those that turn their prejudice against the nation should be punished, just as much
Said i am so embarrassed, this thing. T into a great i was getting calls from president nixon saying you tell those girls to go to the devil and whatever. I had a lot of people for me. I did not want to get into a spitting fight with the girls but there was. On the plane going up, she didnt speak any english. We had an interpreter, and i said, do you mind if i work on my speech a little bit. She said, you are giving a speech . I said, you are too. She said, i am . She went into the ladies room, and i said to the interpreter, doesnt she know she is giving a speech . He pulled the speech out of her pocket and said, she knows. The speed. Proud of we worked very hard on it. I had given it at four or five other colleges that same spring. ,he university of pennsylvania the university of st. Louis, community college. Nobody gave a darn, but because of the controversy, the same everything. It made me, no question, because of the controversy people paid attention. Margaret thatcher wrote me tha
Illegal chokehold, the fact that there was that it was the cause of death and the medical examiner says, therefore, homicide. That, in and of itself, is probable cause for an arrest. [ applause ] the District Attorney needs to even say im going to move forward and arrest or im going to defer to the federal government, but you cannot have the facts and not address the facts. Thats where we are. Then you go on if the federal government takes it or the prosecutor does to a grand jury. But all we are interested in is justice. Dont do us no favors, but dont do us any way different than anyone else that probable cause has been established. [ applause ] now there are two issues here. I want to be real clear. Theres the criminal justice issue, justice for eric garner. Justice for eric garners family, friends, loved ones, and then theres the issue of policing to make sure this doesnt happen again. What the media is trying to do is run one past the other. I want to be real clear. We had a meetin
Use this term. Former cia tell analyst at msnbc and republican strategist m matt. Let me go to you first and ask you, drunk on power. Those are strong words. Brennen, who was always low key, more kind of thoughtful guy than a guy that would give statements. Drunk on power, would it have brought him to the place where maybe he does obstruct justice. Maybe he is trying to silence this. Is it all the above or is he doing something that he had the power to use at the time the president doesnt. In theory under article two of the constitution, the president is classifier in chief. He decides what is secret, top secret and everything else, but there is an established procedure by way of executive order for deciding whether or not to pull or grant security clearances. President can by pass that in the case of National Security issues. I think thats why you see him making his point in his statement this is is a National Security type issue, but ultimately he might just say, look, under article
