Exploring issues that affect leaders in the U. S. And around the globe. Okay, this person is trying to move a conversation in this direction for this purpose. So it seems a little obscure, i dont understand where are theyre trying to go. Is it a pr strategy or is it a legal strategy . Is he a lawyer or a spokesman we have michael avenatti, lanny davis and Rudy Giuliani out there just talking away. I dont think any of them are actually coming up with a cohesive legal strategy for what they need to do because they want to win the pr battle. Lan ny is not allowed to talk. Whatever were talking about now, i have a feeling Robert Mueller has already been over that. But Rudy Giuliani is acting like a squirming coil an going all over the place. Hes saying donald trump never hacked the dnc. No one ever claimed that. Hes also saying that donald trump Didnt Attending T the me with russians. Take a listen to what else he said. This russian meeting, he wasnt there. He wasnt at the meeting. He did
he made some good decisions. they may wind up criticizing him here and there but largely, yeah, raw strategy. these republicans are going to have to adhere to some kind of complementary relationship with donald trump. this might help them in 22. i think republicans may actually have a good midterm. i question whether this will help us in 24 but we have got a midterm to get through, before that comes around. i mean, bakari, something about democracy should make the the idea of kissing a ring distasteful to people. i mean, it really should. and also, the washington post is reporting that, in almost-every swing state, someone is running for secretary of state, who has been pushing the big lie. or even even was at the insurrection. i mean, our democracy survived the 2020 election because of state officials, who do value the rule of law. but what happens when those people are gone? and as scott is talking about, the idea of having to accommodate or have this complementary relation
the the idea of kissing a ring distasteful to people. i mean, it really should. and also, the washington post is reporting that, in almost-every swing state, someone is running for secretary of state, who has been pushing the big lie. or even even was at the insurrection. i mean, our democracy survived the 2020 election because of state officials, who do value the rule of law. but what happens when those people are gone? and as scott is talking about, the idea of having to accommodate or have this complementary relationship? what are your thoughts, bakari? so, yeah. i think as much as i want to blame the republican party for, as ron brownstein, so articulately, put it, go through state legislature, after state legislature and implement these these voting-rights laws. that are just utterly regressive. the fact remains that the democratic party, for a long period of time, we just simply did not take the court seriously. we did not take voting rights seriously. and the the w
changes in how they treat their own people, reduce their maligned behavior, agree that it s worthwhile to enter into a nuclear agreement that actually prevents proliferation, then the president is prepared to sit down and have a conversation with them. that is not at all what the president said. the panel is back. jake, zerlina and susan. jake, i think has just been the family berserker. i m making you laugh, i m sorry. i m excited to talk about this. he s saying one thing in front of a bunch of reporters. i ll meet with anyone, no preconditions. the president of the united states issing a that. and then his secretary of state, no, actually we ve got some things we want. they did the same thing with north korea. this crazy world, i know, it s crazy. so republicans this is not an exaggeration to say republican foreign policy for the last decade has been predicated in a large part on not meeting with dictators and bad actors on the global stage without
