and when i heard him say that he was suicidal, the weekendi di before standing on the roof ofde the regency hotel, i didn t know whetherr he was a drama queen or telling the truth.hooks so i looked at my partner and he shook his head truth and nodded. i think he s telling the truth. and later on , w ane had thatorated corroborated by the reverend jerr, falwell and his wife b who had dinner with michael cohen, who told him the same thing. why is that important? e mi him thebecause when you reo to give up your life in order to avoid these y legal troubles, when they re insurmountable to you and you re offere wed a y out, so you have to doo is t is cooperate on donald trump. do you havo erate on de anythind trump? and he says no , repeatedly. i swear to god, bob , i don t have anything. then, you know, that you ve gott a guy who probably doesn t have anything. it s certainly you easier to givetainly up information on donald trump e than it is to kill yourself. makiop of that, while he s
in recent years been accused of making women uncomfortable. he has beenead accused of rape. you remember that a former biden staffer called terror whose story again we probably didn t take seriously enough alleged that when she was twenty nine , joe biden pinned her against the wall and penetrated her .e now she was immediately attacked by democratic partizans you re a liar because wal actually they don t believe all women. but then a phone call,utn a contemporary is phone call.r the terrorist s mother mademo the larry king show called corroborated the fact that happened. she said her daughterr had lefte washington because ofof the actions of a quote prominent senator . now at the time the media is buried the story or laughed about it . joe biden responded m by promising to be more mindfulr and that was it. w this is from april of 2019. we re really trying to make a human connection. that s my responsibility. th ti , i shake hands, i hug people, i grab them by the shoulders and say you
a lot lately, long after trump is gone whetherr he is reelected or serves two terms, what happens next? if this is what you can do to upend a presidency. i think you are going to see a lot of payback. you re going to see a future republican house speaker that s going to be able to declare an impeachment inquiry and follow it up with exactly what is happening right now. secret testimony, selective leaking to preferred outlets, and it s not good for the republic. 13 months before we have another election, from whatt i can tell and my experience, it s really a lifetime in this game both in the state of iowa and in washington, d.c., this is just not good for the republic. laura: it s corrosive and those that are perpetrating it
comeing out with over-the-top rhetoric and that s all they say, trump is a racist, that will not be enough to beat him but hurt the democrats. tom, you see thiso, desperate desire foror candidates especially whether castro, beto buttigieg, they think this is going to be their moment. but they always underestimate the common sense of the american voters. i mean, most people just think whetherr they drive a truck up o a restaurant, or you can make off of the internet or a pressure cooker. a gun that is modified that you can buy legally anywhere, these, people will find a way to kill, and it s up to us to try to find them before they commit these horrific acts. i think most people look this is a common sense matter. they don t look at it politically. i think that is right. look, trump came out and condemned the shootings and condemned white nationalism and that was not good enough for democrats. you will see him go to dayton el paso and the extent he shows up and offers empathy, condo
we can talk about the next few da and whetherr not the memo is going to come out, but longer term still, there s been a lot of conversation surrounding the release of this memo about what it means to institutions, to the fisa process, the russia investigation, with a bit longer view looking out farther ahead, what do you see is the result or ramifications of the declassification release of this memo? well, i think what we ve seen in the past couple months, we should expect the russia investigation. we should expect mueller s activities to go far into the future. i don t think we re anywhere near the end of the investigation here. we re not anywhere near the political fallout from it, so this appears to be one pushback of what we can expect to be several in the republican efforts to have the investigation slowed down or stopped. and so we re looking now perhaps at another shutdown, perhaps another budget showdown. we re looking ahead to 2018
