it s unusual to lose both your parents in such a short period of time. it is. they didn t leave anything on the playing field. they lived a full life. we celebrated their lives during the four days when the nation pressed the pause button. what was interesting is all of the stories that came out that i never heard. there are hundreds of stories that i ve heard about just simple acts of generosity and kindness that really more than anything else defined my dad. at the funeral, your brother made this very moving eulogy and he broke down at the end. i noted that when he went back to his seat, you reached over laura and you kind of nudged him and said something and smiled. what was it that you said to him? i think i said you fumbled on the two yard line but you recovered and scored. it was very moving. the whole thing was great. the point of why there was so
to it, that we ve just gotten used to this kind of behavior when even two years ago we would have been appalled and calling for investigations and subpoenas and other forms of looking into this that i think would have been really important. there s a story out of canada right now that is not the same as this but the allegations are that the prime minister, justin trudeau, sort of nudged his attorney general to go soft on a company that they had had a relationship with and as a result that s an inexcusable use of executive power to try to meddle in the legal system and it may bring down the trudeau government. the idea this is the biggest political scandal in a decade and here it s the sixth headline in a given day i think speaks to the insanity of the moment we are in. we just put of a tweet george
martha: but it doesn t seem like everybody is waiting for him to decide. a former vice president. how do you think about what happened last time around? was he pushed aside for hillary clinton or was it all because of his personal robert: i met with him in december 2015 when he was deciding, and i know there has been articles about him agonizing this time around. no, he agonized that time around. i think at that point, you know, his mind was telling him go in and his heart was telling him no and he couldn t get there. this time around i think his heart and his mind is ready to go, in my opinion. martha: does he have resentment in terms of nudged for hillary? i would have won. robert: listen, i feel many times he felt like he could have one, and i think he can second-guess himself but he is now moving forward. and i think the best way to move forward is for him to decide to enter. martha: of the president calls and 1% joe and he has rune before and that was before he was vic

years. laura: when they were fine with executive privilege as long as they were claiming it. right, dave? well, i m an admirer of adam schiff. he s the head of the house intelligence committee. i think he s being nudged to either subpoena the notes or testimony from this translator. i don t think that s a wise place to start. i think that john has a point. of course, there is executive privilege. and it is strongest according to the united states versus nixon case unanimous. it is strong. it s not absolute. but it s strongest in the area of just what happened with this translator. so i think the committee would be smarter to start with a whole bunch of other areas. like the cohen inquiry. and the one in why not start with tiller sin and ask him what happened during that meeting and go from there?
