he was still willing to admit legalidndefensible as a decision. en pregnant women, biden explained in 1982 to a member of the senate judiciary committee, should not have quote the sole t righto to say what should happen to their unborn children because after all, no one creates childreny. vious. it takes two people. that s obvious. in fact,t, biden concluded roe had gone, quote, too far and of course it had gone too far. t that was obvious then. it s s obvious now then as now, many americans believe that abortion is murder . a manyme other americans consider abortion a prerequisite to happinesssab. now those are unreconcilable positions, but thankfullye in a democracy we have a solution to quandaries like this and it s called votings. if we don t like something in america, if we want to change it, we elect representatives to act on our behalf. if they do what we ask o them tn do, we reelect them. that s the reward. if they don t, we vote them out. that s the punishment. th that sey how
but the idea that so much of his base is skeptical so he doesn t want to get into fights, doesn t want to try to pull his people back, what does that tell you? yeah, one of the biggest quandaries of the trump administration s last year is the president s unwillingness to really tout science and tout the vaccine that his administration came up with. he talked about operation warp speed. they did deliver that vaccine. but then he was very quiet about it. we didn t see him take the vaccine on camera. didn t see him telling his base to get behind the vaccine and when he finally decided to come out in favor of it, it was a little too late. at a point where he already primed his voters to be skeptical of science and skeptical of his own administration s scientists. so it s very difficult now for him to try to get his base back on board. i remember when he tried to talk about the vaccine at a rally and he received boos from members of his own base. people who support him on everything els
otherwise? that s a great question. think of the ethical and legal quandaries some of these people have faced. i could never imagine career prosecutors and department of justice officials would think to remove the president of the united states under the 25th amendment. peter, i want to go to you now and read an excerpt of this book. this is mccabe detailing a conversation he says he had with the president shortly after comey was fired. the president says, people are happy that the director is gone, are you seeing that? he went on, i received hundreds of messages from fbi people, how happy they are that i fired him. there are people saying things on the media, have you seen that? what s it like there in the building? and then mccabe adds this stunning detail, he says, this

but it is presenting a few interesting and difficult quandaries for lawmakers on the hill. this morning the president tweeted that he didn t want a six year c.h.i.p. extension, which was news to everyone in washington d.c. because that s what the republican strategy has been and is for funding the government. what we were reporting today is that it threw things momentarily into utter chaos on the hill. where republicans are to check if the bill they were attaching the entire government funding operation to would end up being vetoed by the president. that s a peculiar thing to have to inquire about 48 hours before the government shuts down. so he s creating a lot of problems for the process and it doesn t make mitch mcconnell s life easier or chuck schumer s life easier.
