Try, i say, okay, but in 2 hours i cant, there are graphics work, protocol meeting, come on tomorrow , he says, well be ready, so he and i sat down and flew, i tried to fly a helicopter on the simulator, but it seems to me that this is the most difficult thing in piloting, but theres just a millimeter handle, its also a machine that falls somewhere , somewhere there it flies from left to right there with the preparation of the United States, which means, for bidens message to its citizens and its own, and of course, the key point is the actual analysis of the main, or something, trend in american political life, that is, there is a feeling that there is, as it were, a visible official level of the American Administration and there is the socalled, which only the lazy deep state does not talk about, the deep state, the parameters of which and the content are not fully understood, there is an analysis and discussion there. But two points are absolutely obvious a is, of course, his streng
Hes the former Nixon White House counsel. John, you and i have spoken about this and donald trump so many times, but, you know, as i was discussing with one of our producers before this program got started, in the past, you know, we would talk about Donald Trumps tweets and his social media posts and wonder what the impact might be. But it sounds as though the Special Counsel in this case, jack smith, is really seizing on this very inflammatory, threateningsounding post from donald trump on truth social and alerting it to the judge. The government arguing that the restrictions that theyre seeking are necessary to prevent trump from publicly disclosing sensitive discovery information. Can you walk us through what this means . Yeah. It looks like the post from trump came out while they were working on a motion to agree upon a protective order in general to Exchange Discovery material. And this obviously caught their attention. This is not the sort of norm that theyre used to dealing with
Assistant attorney general tom dupree, former federal prosecutor Francey Hakes and attorney and former congressional investigator sam dewey. Tom dupree is going to join us in just a moment. Francey, whats the biggest weakness in this case . Youve said its loaded with serious legal and constitutional problems. Yeah, liz, i think the biggest weakness is that every count relies upon the prosecutor being able to prove that trump was knowingly making these false statements that they say led to a conspiracy. So i think weak link number one is proving that trump did not believe that he had won the election are, that he was knowingly spreading that falsity that the election was rigged, stolen or otherwise flawed. And i dont think they can prove that. I think donald trump honestly beliefs believes that he won that election, or he certainly believes that joe biden didnt win fair and square. And the fact that people were telling him that doesnt mean anything when you had other people telling him
Economy and help families with permanent tax breaks. Labour will argue that any reductions will still leave people worse off because of the freezing of Tax Thresholds. Ben king reports. The background to todays budget has been gloomy, with the economy in recession. But it looks like the chancellor will still find room to cut taxes. The conservatives are trailing labour in the polls, and looking Forjeremy Hunt to give them some cheer in places like this, winchester, a seat the Lib Dems Hope to win. So what do people here think about tax cuts . I think it would be a good idea because it gives people more money to spend on what they want to buy. Realistically, people arent going to save that much money from a tax cut, whereas more money in Public Services means Better Health care services. Itsjust much more important. I would prefer not to have a tax cut, but to see more money invested in the community. If the Public Services were properly organised, theres more than enough money to do it
