i think it is time we ask those at very top to pay more. freeloading? i mean, i m thinking about people like bernie marcus who built home depot, hundreds of thousands of people. people like fred smith most of these billionaires that she s talking about that or freeloaders are people that built iconic american companies. they are heroes. laura: she makes it seems like it will only hurt the richest of the rich. what is the answer? what do you think they do with their money? bernie marcus reinvests in the wealth ofth companies. if you want to start a company, what do you do? laura: again, i m not trying to nitpick, but real-time focus group. i think it s got to be simple. you don t trust people. they don t trust people to make their own decisions with their own money. and a billionaire tax todayus would be right in the middle of the tax tomorrow. they are never satisfied. by the way, they will not use it to reduce deficit but spend it.
into the boogie man. they don t want to be forced to defend trump on substance. they ve shown that is difficult to do. we saw that in house intelligence committee hearings. now the judiciary committee will be relying much more on process. they ll be trying to pick issues with the way adam schiff has been conducting things. i m sure they ll be finding ways to pick apart whatever gerry nadler is saying at these hearings. we should be looking for them to nitpick, what the committee members and witnesses are saying. i don t expect a lot of substance in this hearing from republicans on wednesday. thanks so much. thanks. another big story this hour, on the 2020 trail, mayor pete buttigieg visiting a north carolina church, trying to repair relations with african-american voters. he s meeting with rev rebd william barber to talk about poverty.
wade, we do not pass laws that take away that freedom from the women who are most vulnerable. dana: democrats have voted for laws that have this position in it. this is because it s on all the legislation that goes for funding. i think we have a list. elizabeth warren, michael bennett, cory booker. how do you think this will play? this is obviously one of the contentious issues. anyone who is in the position, is looking for anything they can to get leverage over biden to prove he is a centrist. joe biden is not a centrist. maybe compared to some of these people. but joe biden has had a long progressive track record. i think the effort to try and nitpick over these things are the kind of things that are setting democrats up. democrats are on one side of the issue and republicans on the other side. dana: an intramural site is probably not helpful for democrats. let s put all the cards on the
instances of purported obstruction that the special counsel raised and we didn t think any of them rose to the level of obstruction. the special counsel was very, very clear in the report that you have to look at all of them put together. you have to look at the timing of each event and how one may have influenced the other. that analysis seems to have changed by the time it got to the attorney general s press conference. i think what the special counsel is saying is, you really have to sit down and read the whole report and at that point, make the reason decision whether you re going to move ahead with impeachment or not. if you look at the timeline and you look at them combined, it is a much different picture than if you sort of nitpick one by one. you have michael cohen sitting in front of congress saying the president, as president, wrote me a check to reimburse me for covering up something that i
be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. i don t know what happened. i wasn t involved. i would not have done that. i was very angry with john mccain because he killed health care. i was not a big fan of john mccain in any way, shape or form. now, somebody did it because they thought i didn t like him, okay? and they were well meaning, i will say. i didn t know anything about it. i would never have done that. i just can t he s dead. let me phrase that for the president. it s terrible what they did. the ship should be there. they should take down the tarp. i m proud to stand in front of that ship. instead it was like he was a cornered school kid by a teacher. it was such a weird thing for a president to do. this is just a nitpick but
