arguments in about 80 of those casings touching on every aspect of american life, big or small. and at this very moment, they are waiting to hear if they will pick up one of those big cases, the kind of case that winds up in the had history books. the outcome could determine who is on the ballot for milons of voters as they head to the polls this year. we are talking about a challenge to donald trump s spot on the ballot based on the 14th amendment, which bars insurrectionists from running for office. as we reported on this program yesterday, the ex-president is now asked the supreme cou to keep him on the ballot appealing a ruling from the supreme court that found trump was ineligible because of his role on january 6th. the republican party has also asked the court to take the case. so of the voters who filed the challenge in the first place, everyone agrees the supreme cot has to take action. the washington post reports that attorneys for the colorado voters who challenge
no place in america for threats of political violence. we must always resolve our differences at the ballot box and yet and yet, david jolly, this where we find ourselves. it is, and many people can easily remember when gabby giffords and 18 other people were shot in tucson for having a congress person on your corner, vent and i think that is the real danger, right? fortunately, we are talking about a threat to swalwell and his children. we re not talking about an actual incident, but who knows the next time and the next member of congress if there is actually an incident and this is where there is a requirement on our political leaders to de-escalate. they must, and, look, political violence existed before donald trump, but donald trump in many ways has mainstreamed it. the entire insurrection on january 6th was about using political violence to stop the peaceful transfer of power. that is a contribution of trump s leadership to violence
had a congress who was willing to tell the american people that story and thread the needle together in a way that frankly is why donald trump and many of his allies are facing are on the cusp of accountability for their role in the january 6th insurrection. so there s a deep misinformation and disinformation machine at play here within the united states, and i think that that number to me says that there is still more work to do in terms of communicating the truth. which is even if you were donald trump, you still have the numbers. it s way measure the getting rid of trump. trump is not the problem. he s just one of the issues. he s not the problem. the entirety of the republican party apparatus are unwilling to push donald trump and hold him to account, those folks will still be around when donald trump is gone. a quick break.
disclosures that trump did not give when he was sitting in the oval office that he s now giving, now that he s running in 23. we just now learned that while he was in office he received trademarks from the chinese government at the same time that they re somehow checking into his hotels and things like that, and to be clear also for the american people, it s not a strict prohibition. the prohibition says yeah, you can t just do it, but if you are going to try to do it, you at least have to come to congress and let congress make the ultimate decision. he chose not to do that so there was another option, and the fact that he decided not to makes it only look like more shady trump business. david jolly, let s stick on that last point. the report is titled white house for sale. there is a danger of having a president who never cuts ties with his business, in addition to a president who does not believe as representative crocket just laid out, that the rules apply to him. that s right.
years? because if justice had moved within a year perhaps we wouldn t be facing the predicament of donald trump returning to the white house, and on the question of emoluments in some of these business dealings as the congresswoman said, it should be a bipartisan issue of outrage by the congress, but if it s not. if it was, they could have moved to impeach him at the time, but they did not. why is there that latency? in some cases just because of human behavior. the department of justice took a long time and our partisanship prohibits this from being a bipartisan issue even though the constitution suggests that it should. i don t know what the remedy is, but i think one of the lessons of some of the most dangerous elements in our current government today from the first trump administration is that lateensy and donald trump knows it and donald trump knows how to use that latency to his advantage and we should fully expect he would use it in a second term. congresswoman jasmine
