supreme court has ruled against him so many times when it comes to disclosing his public information, including to january six committee. and i just think it s a risk. because what if he loses? what is he supposed to say? the supreme court are bunch of traders? these are the people he appointed. of course, [laughs] , of course that s exactly what you do. john, listen, tara really just said how i feel. is it because it s such a small carve out here, right? is it our he and his attorneys pointing to this one little thing that they could win, so they at least can say that they have a win, even though it is it seems incremental, or, you know, it does not really matter that much? you get my point? i do, i do. and while it is not always clear what trump is doing, it s always clear he s looking for delay. this will certainly assure some delay in. how long, it s unpredictable. clarence thomas the circuit who it s his circuit, as a member the supreme court to take jurisdicti
playing out before our eyes taking us to another scary place over the past fort night. a criminal investigation into donald trump s handling of classified information looming over the country and both major political parties with an even more significant specter casting a long, shadow in sharp relief. the very real possibility that a former president of the united states could soon be indicted for violating the espionage act or other federal statutes. it is extremely volatile and if donald trump is indeed indicted although that remains a big if, for the moment and we ll move beyond volatility and into more territory that s explosive into where there is a dramatic increase into more political violence than we ve seen already in our republic. in just the last two weeks we ve seen threats against the fbi and law enforcement surging. a pennsylvania man was arrested last week for threatening to kill agents of the federal bureau of investigation and a man armed with a semiautomat
pbs, rick stengel, an msnbc political analyst and gordon chang, newsweek columnist. yammish, what do we know about this call between president biden and president xi jinping? we know the president for a long time has called china the u.s. s main competitor and said there is this really tug of war between democracy and autocracy this is really a high-stakes call and also a call president biden is welcoming because he has said diplomacy is the thing america should be known for. he s said over and over again that america is back. there s a lot going on there. we should also note that hanging over this call is the potential trip between house speaker nancy pelosi and taiwan. there s a lot of criticism coming from china, based on reporting, that says she should not take this trip and it could set off a sort of crisis. others are saying, if she cancels that trip, the u.s. would look week, including to nations like japan. there s a lot going on the domestic front and the nationa
