the president impeached and removed. but 90% of republican voters don t want to see the president impeached and removed. so as it pertains to you in particular, joe, i am interested. again, you re running against the president, but every day that passes, it seems you re actually running more and more and more against your own party. does that make sense? yeah, it does, john. but here s what i think. i think trump s support is soft. i ve been in new hampshire a bunch. i ve been in iowa a bunch. i ve been in a number of states. and obviously because i m challenging trump in the republican primary, i m talking to republican voters. and i got to tell you, john, they re tired of him. they re sick of his b.s. and lies. trump stood in front of his voters this week and made up a war on thanksgiving. we have a president of the united states pardon my language this thanksgiving
order, then you have to quit. and that s what they did. i d like to know more about it, but it seems right to me. i d like to know more as well. w thank you both for being with me. i want to bring in now a pair of reporters from the daily beast and politics reporter betsey woodruff swan.ti a bunch of things happening right now in terms of a few developments. i want to talk about the times story first, betsy. there has always been the assumption that when gordon sondland calls trump just a day or two before the aid is on released and trump is, quote, in a bad mood and barks, i want nothing, i want nothing, i want no quid pro quo, he was saying that because he knew he was being accused of precisely that because he knew about the whistle-blower complaint. tonight the new york times establishes that in reporting he did in fact know when that call happened and when the aid was released. how significant do you think this is? it s significant because it firms up somewhere where people
stay at the president s hotel here in washington. you write that although kentucky s republican party reimbursed the state for the stay in 2018, the transaction may still run a foul of an anti-corruption provision of the constitution barring the president from receiving any emoluments. talk about how this might play in some of the ongoing court cases that we re seeing. there are three active court cases against president trump for violating the emoluments clause. presidents can t take money from foreign governments, but the framers of the constitution also intended to stop the president from being bought off by individual states. they didn t want them to be able to pay extra and get consideration. states can t pay the president anything directly. so the lawsuits have said that trump has violated the constitution by taking money from state governments. the bevin example, matt bevin comes and gives the president s company a bunch of kentucky state money, that seems to play into what th
one of the bader meinhoff gang said one of the most fantastic thing in the 1970s was not to be a rock star, button a revolutiona revolutionary. unlike the i.r.a. or other groups, the red army faction kills selectively, prosecutors, bankers, leaders of the society they wish so fervently to destroy. they thought the more high profile the assassination or kidnapping, the more likely that this would start the revolution, that the spark of violence would catch on. although morrow, 61 years old, former premier of italy, kidnapped in a bloody shootout two days ago in rome by a bunch called the red brigades is nowhere to be found. moro s kidnapping has hit italians hard, both the man on the street and the leaders of government. the attitude that the chaos in italy is somehow the natural state of affairs here is no longer acceptable. the whole idea with these attacks is to shake the confidence of the government. and they did. italy s police are struggling to maintain law and order
not address reparations, which is something congress has taken up, the senate has taken this up. and he talked around it. look, i work in public radio. i would love for people to listen to the radio. but that does not close the gap that we are talking about. and even his reference to that study that he was referring to, poor children let s be clear. poor children are not always black and brown children. biden has misstepped a bunch of times in this campaign when talking about the poor and who they are. those remarks in that debate fell flat with a lot of voters of color, particularly younger progressive voters of color. on this sunday morning, let me ask about the space in which he is going to be delivering these comments this morning in this historic church that had that bombing take place now many decades ago. how much does that limit his ability to say what he might want to say about the sitting president of the united states? how does he have to tailor his remarks to where he w
