meadow lark lemon, santa claus, bob hope no. to thank there are so many people going, huh? under 50. kurt flood, no! irving r. levine? no! irving r. levine, nbc news, washington. to thank donald trump. the family asked for trump to be thanked by rick davis. literally everything he has said about the funeral is a lie. that s all i got. you can go now. by the way, i m on to you. i m on to you. let s do a split with willie. can you put willie up? you know how in top gun maverick are talking, they have this, hey, don t fly by the tower, don t buzz the tourer.
want to lose that, because then that opens the door for the next question. and the next question. and the final question to go to the supreme court which is can the president of the united states be indicted. the interesting thing about kurt flood, again, going back to metaphors now, nobody around kurt flood was panicked about what kurt flood was doing. all the people were saying yeah, kurt, go ahead. nearly everyone around the president of the united states is in a state of panic about the spectacle, the spector of him having to testify before bob mueller. mika, i ve never seen anything like it. they do not trust him to be smart enough to do this. or just to tell the truth. or to tell the truth. i don t know what is worse. they think any interview is a perjury trap. if you could sit with mueller, it s a perjury trap. and to go where you began, this is a reality show and most reality shows, if you think about the most popular ones out there, they do crazy things, you
without a lie popping out. somebody is going to compel him to talk. so they re kicking the can down the road a little bit. i would just say it is, it is remarkable that you work for somebody and you admit, four people admit to the new york times that he cannot be trusted to talk to an officer of the court without lying. how would you feel about it if your lawyers were saying that kind of stuff, not just saying it, but saying it to the new york times. and also we may be you ll get this. i don t think anybody else will. kurt flood. free agent. but major league baseball didn t want to sue kurt flood because they knew they would lose and it would open pandora s box. it s the same thing here with donald trump s lawyers. they can do all of this maneuvering. but at the end of the day, mueller is going to say i need a subpoena. it s going to go all the way to the supreme court. i don t think trump s lawyers
because he stood up and for years they didn t want to make that challenge because they were afraid what the courts would say. challenge steve bannon. challenge the hard 2%, and what you ll find is they don t have the power that they want you to think they have. i mean, this is what donald trump s been doing wrong all along. 80% of americans support d.r.e.a.m.ers. 20% oppose. and want them deported, and donald trump is siding with the 20%. so the some point it s just like kurt flood, free agency in major league baseball, at some point you call their bluff, and you find out there s no there there. it s what i d do but what do i know? does he really support the 20% or does he want the 20% to think he supports the 20%? that s my question. don t think about it too much. he doesn t support the 20%. but he s signaling. but he is scared, is he
ratings weren t really down after the election. the funny thing or the interesting thing when you listed all those athletes who some people are against and some people are for and maybe americans don t really recognize a couple of those names, curt flood, the two runners from the mexican olympics, but they remember muhammed ali and remember the athletes that were great. athletic greatness will transcend all of this and that s the great thing about marshawn lynch or especially michael bennett, a great player kneeling down. chris long, joining malcolm jenkins. if you get these great players saying we re on kaepernick s side, i think it will change the discussion a little bit. at the collegiate level when you had football players refusing to play unless there were significant changes in some of these administrations, that s when the teams took notice. do the nfl players have that kind of leverage, though, in terms of their contracts? both of you guys can handle that. well, that s alwa
