simply followed up with the good faith effort to secure the recovery of the presidential records. good faith effort. didn t didn t they do that? didn t this go on for a year and a half? it went on for an incredibly long time, so much to the fact that it went to the national archives repeatedly asking trump and his team to turn this information over. when they realized there was classified material in there and they referred to the justice department, then we entered the subpoena territory. that is where you saw these letters coming from the justice department to trump s legal team. they had subpoenas. they had these court approved documents trying to get access to these materials. this isn t just because they were asking nicely and not getting what they wanted. that line stuck out to me as well john because the way that the trump team has been framing this is that they were having this cooperative relationship. they were all operating in good faith, and they were caught off guard b
democracy, and we have been imperfect. obviously i come from a region where many of us refused to accept the verdict of the civil war, the import of the 13, 14, and 15th amendments for decade upon decade upon decade. but that story, even though it unfolds in some ways is largely i think, should be an example to us. what side do we, you and i want to be on when people are telling the story of this time? do you want to be on the side of the people who are breaking the rule of law, or do you want to be on the side of people who actually stood up and understood that the constitution has to be preserved? well john, the washington post is reporting that historians like yourself are actually trying to warn president biden that democracy is teetering. what you were just laying out
gambling corporations that wrote prop 27. it doesn t tell you 90% of the profits go to the out of state corporations. a tiny share goes to the homeless, and even less to tribes. and a big loophole says, costs to promote betting reduce money for the tribes, so they get less. hidden agendas. fine print. loopholes. prop 27. they didn t write it for the tribes or the homeless. they wrote it for themselves. new detail, the search warrant story and a live report from where it happened. mar-a-lago. randy what s the latest of what we know about the result of the search? well john, we know this from our colleagues haven t bryson gaby or who are getting this to information for us. we are told that the fbi
