ripping the bell and say read the mueller report. i don t care if you re a democrat or a republican. read the mueller report on obstruction. as the more than 600 federal prosecutors that, there it is. the criminal indictment is right in front of us. mueller made clear that all the elements are there for obstruction. criminal obstruction. in multiple incidents. congress cannot cover its ears and close its eyes and pretend this isn t happening. this is about what kind of a country we are. we swore not just to protect donald trump. we swore to protect the constitution of the united states of america. and that is what is called for here. you talk about mitch mcconnell on the floor today. i think there s a widespread view that i think is probably correct. that there s just no way there
i am not anti-china. we have to establish trade policies which do not allow corporate america to simply shut down in this country and refuse to pay workers here a decent wage and move to countries around the world where they re paying pennies an hour. and one of the things i would do. use the lenk of the federal government to say to those profitable companies, if you want to move abroad and then think you ll get federal contracts, you might want to think again. we want you to be a good corps citizen and not just treat your workers in a disparaging and disdainful way. all right. 2020 did a, thank you for making time tonight. thank you. still to come, cory book order his man for the presidency and beto o rourk on his plan for the plan he. stay with us he.
you know, among democratic candidates and folks in the democratic party and broad to the center left there are sort of two different ways of thinking about donald trump. one is kind of an anomaly, this is not normal, this is some vast departure from the sort of main through line of what the american political system had been. the other is a kind of culmination, right, the symptom not the cause. and people i think come down in different parts on this. joe biden says he sort of sees him as an anomaly. elizabeth warren kind of a symptom. where do you come down on that? how do you understand this president in this moment? i ll tell you just from listening to people across texas and now across the country, more than 110 town hall meetings have answered more than 650 questions. people understand that their government no longer represents or reflects them. that members of congress are beholden to political action committees and corporations and special interests. that their voices are dro
