essentially a seizure of the presidency by donald trump. just quickly do you think that donald trump by way of the actions laid out is treasonous? well, you know, that is not a word that i have used but i m continuing to watch carefully the evidence coming out in each of the hearings. treason is the only crime that we have that s defined in the constitution so it s a strict proof of levying war against the united states or adhering to the enemies of the quunited states. all right. thank you. thank you so much for having me. demonstrations after the supreme court overturning roe v wade have been mostly peaceful.
said she thinks donald trump has met the threshold for criminal behavior. we have to remind our viewers this it s not a court of law. no to harry, what would a criminal trial have to present to show that he met that threshold? is there a way you can describe where that would stand? so, technically alex, what they would have to show is he knowingly interfered with the proceedings. when he said we are gonna go down there, it s gonna be wild! he revs up the crowd, does exactly what they are talking about, he knew, under the legal standard, that it would be impairing, delaying, the proceeding. that is again different than the whole big conspiracy, seditious conspiracy, which is the most serious charge which has been levied and you can imagine the department of justice levying against a former president. to that and, would they have
authority? perhaps. thanks good he did. but because it sure looks like that donald trump was fine with people at the capitol being hurt, and perhaps worse. and mike pence, perhaps borne of self preservation because he was under attack. he at least made the call that donald trump did not make. and he called for reinforcements to protect the people in the capital. and, the last crime i m going to mention, is that sure feels like donald trump levying war against the united states. which is the definition of treason. the granddaddy of all crimes against america. glenn kirschner, the thanks so much for that breakdown. there s so much to keep in mind but we are so grateful for helping you and understand us. david is the executive editor for the new yorker. i want to play you something that congressman thompson said, i want to get your reaction on the other side. january 6th, and the lies that led to the insurrection,
but that is where it looks like the u.s. is headed. i know there are a plethora of larger macroeconomic sanctions the west is levying on russia, but these targeted sanction, the ones custom built to take away toys from russia s wealthiest most powerful individuals in hopes they throw a fit and make it harder for putin on wage his war, those sanctions are full steam ahead.
