encourage people to stay at our resort, so that s the deal. but that deal was in place prior to his running for president. and then you have then he once he becomes president, it becomes an emolument. because this is how he runs his business. this is how he runs his business. unlike almost any other president, he didn t transfer his interests to a blind trust. he transferred his property interests to a trust that s controlled by his family and led by eric trump. he gets quarterly updates about how his business is doing. he maintains a business ownership interest in them, and he can draw out payments whenever he wants, so he s vitally interested in how all of his properties are doing and that s why he s using the white house as kind of a cash cow to increase the profits of the trump organization. paul, we are out of time, but the point you have no proof that the white house has increased his profitability. you have to show proof. what? that s why we need oversight.
community. this wasn t someone using a term wrong. we have to be really clear. the wholetrope for like all of american history when you have asked questions about systemic racism, what has been done to black people for 400 years in this country, the basictrope of racism has always been what you are observing is actually their own fault. and on thursday night joe biden who wants to be the president of the united states and run against the white nationalist basically blamed black people s parenting skills and lack of music for the legacy of slavery. he has to he has to drop out. it s an important discussion. i m glad you were available to come on today because it s the paul ryan saying it s the culture. this is the thing that happens a lot to black people but i will submit again as i let you go the question is going to be how do you convince black voters, particularly black women voters who are the most consistent and
joy, i am really overwhelmed by the terrible response of this presidency. we members of the united states congress will be pushing dollars toward them for recovery, working on the tps, working on the visas, and we say to them that we stand as their friend and allies and pray for them on a regular basis. thank you, congresswoman. thank you for saying that. really appreciate that. thank you. and i know that all of the viewers of this show very much agree with that. thank you. all right, joining me is maya wiley, senior vice president for social justice at the new school, greg sargent of the washington post, maria talisa kumar and paul, you re at a disadvantage, so i ll let you go first. where the congresswoman ended there was that they re essentially trying to put forward through these hearings a very simple, understandable case for the public of potentially impeachable offenses. where she went was the obstruction of justice that was very clearly revealed, and lots of prosecutors
turnbury resort up to 45 times since 2015. the practice is one of several possible violations of the emoluments clause that house democrats are currently looking into. maya and paul are back with me. maya, we were talking about the substance, not the debate over what impeachment is in general, but the actual substantive things that could wind up being on the plate of house democrats for an impeachment. this sounds like one of them. if the president is directing in any way, subtly, explicitly, the military to make use of his resort 40 miles from the airport, when there are cheaper hotels close to the airport that the military used to use, and even members of the military are complaining because they don t get the restaurants or facilities they need, that they would be able to afford near the airport that they re using, it really does make it a possible case of exactly what we were
shows like this one, but in one hearing, one set of hearings. you know, i think so many important points have been raised, and your question is raising all the right ones, joy, and i really want to agree with paul on in. you know, what s going on here is that, first of all, we re confused about what impeachment actually is. yes. so, let s start with the fact that what everyone has said about the process is it is supposed to be a process of investigation. that s how the constitution set it up. you re not supposed to know where the plane is going in order to land it, right? it s a grand jury! it s a process. but it s also a process that s political. it isn t just legal, and it s not just criminal. and this is a point that we re all needing to elevate. what the founding fathers said you know, it was james madison who said, look, waiting four years for another election, that s a problem, because if we have someone who is
