the 60 second rant. we talk about the crazy, ignorant antics of crazy house members but they have real competition from the republican senator from wisconsin ron johnson. this is a senator who repeatedly denied the scientific consensus on climate change calling it bs and blamed sun spots for global warming and said the extra co. 2 helps achieve growth. he said it didn t look like an armed insurrection to him and said he only felt threatened himself if it had been black lives matter protesters storming the capitol. he refused to take the vaccine himself, continued to blame antivaccine conspiracy theories, pushed hydroxychloroquine as a miracle cure long after donald trump stopped pushing it and this past week said one of the most single insane things i ve ever heard a politician say, which is mouth wash has been proven to kill the virus. something liz terin came out and said there is no support for.
that prior to publication. he knows it s not a rumor. this underscores the leverage any senator can have if you re willing to buck your party, if you need all 50. manchin is in a way special, because if he talks about leaving in a state where trump won by 30 points during a year when he lost, well, it s a more credible threat. he s also going out of his way to call it bs. so what life does this shed on the quandary facing democrats? why is joe manchin swearing in public? what will biden do about this development? we ll do that with jay come man durie when we re back in just 60 seconds. when taken with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that s significantly more effective at delaying disease progression
you see a tttacks against jim comey, attacks against mccake to a lesser extent, lesser attacks lesser extent? he called it bs at cpac. the attack against miller i think the president has been relatively more restrained in attacking mueller personally. you were speaking of hanoi during cpac. that is true. i think generally, i mean, look, this president and this operation, what we ve seen rudy giuliani doing for months, they ve trieded to do a lot of spadework to prejudice, inoculate themselves and prejudice the public against whatever findings come out and yet there is some concern, i mean, at the white house, and around the president, you know, he has long told himself, as long as i m in office, i m not getting indicted. well, now that s a legal question that may be less than certain. and i think, you know, just this week, some of the letters and the subpoenas the president is describing, 81 letters as he said, they re surprised by that. they ve been bracing for this.
be another attempt to block an investigation into what happened in 2016. let me be clear, we re now at the point where donald trump calls a legal investigation, one sanctioned to find out what exactly happened more than two years ago, is calling it, i ll use the full word, he s calling it bs, he s calling the investigators, the justice department, he s calling them dirty, effectively calling them criminals, mocking his former attorney general who was a republican senator jeff sessions, he is deriding the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and he s lying and i ll use that word, george, about every member of the mueller team trying to do their job, making false allegations, for example, that they were in the clinton foundation. now, he did it in a supportive atmosphere and i realize that this comes after the failure of the summit with north korea, after michael cohen s testimony and trump needs to go on the offensive. i realize that s the only way he flourishes if he attacks rather
it s just what he does. and i find myself talking about him far too much. what i d really like to talk about is how we should hold both democrats and republicans responsible but specially democrats in the husband. house. we need to do the things that the people elected us to do, raise the minimum wage, protect pre-existing conditions, paid family leave. the voting rights act and criminal justice reform. if i spend as much time worrying about donald trump and his ways can i ask you a question? listen, i think a lot of lot of people are saying too much is being discussed about sometimes nonsense coming from the highest office in the land. but just so that we can have a reality check on this, if this was rigged against republicans, how did he win? well, don, i agree with you 100%. that s why i think you just have to call it bs when you hear it. he won the election.
