Things. Well start with the republican infighting and he weighed in and a final chuckle with how he doesnt understand republicans anymore. The remarks at these things after the scripted comments are usually the most revealing. Here obviously the most pass passionate. He also talked about there being a Mini Revolution within the republican conference and he expected after trump that the party would be farther along in determining who they are. We heard from Mark Mackinnon about who the republican party is. The president saying he doesnt understand republicans. Wasnt it interesting to hear him justify the raising of the corporate Tax Rate and to justify all of this spending. I guess its his style when hes really serious and when he wants to underscore a point, he whispers, as we just heard. What hes doing he doesnt believe will deprive any of the executives of their second or third homes or their private jets, and as he said, i think, passionately, that it would really affect the lives o
I dont favor gain of Function Research in china. Youre saying things that are not correct. Youre fooling with Mother Nature here. Youre allowing super viruses to be created with a 15 mortality. Its very dangerous. And is a huge mistake to share this with china and a huge mistake to allow this to continue in the united states. We should be very careful to investigate where this virus came from. I fully agree you should investigate where the virus came from, but again we have not funded gain of Function Research on this virus in the Wuhan Institute of virology no matter how many times youre parsing words. There was research ripped from the pages of qanon. Why is he doing this to himself . I dont know why he does. Its really strange. Its more than strange. Its disturbing. Its part of a bigger picture. Dr. Anthony fauci pushing back on Saturday Rand pauls allegation that the National Institutes Of Health had been funding the chinese lab in wuhan. Willie, we have been watching this now for
the private meeting. we were discussing their strategy for tomorrow and discussing their thoughts on where it should go. again, these three men are jurors in a trial. so ethics aside, it s pretty much an indication that the fix is likely in. and the democrats seem to know that. today they also issued a warning. a warning that this could happen again. a warning for the future of this country and a clear message about what will be the legacy of the former president. the editorial page of the conservative wall street journal today picked up on it this evening with a piece titled the trump impeachment evidence. he might be acquitted but he won t live down his disgraceful conduct. and this is the final paragraph. it reads, now his legacy will be forever stained by this violence and by his betrayal of his supporters in refusing to tell them the truth. whatever the result of the impeachment trial the republicans should remember the betrayal if mr. trump decides to run again i
joining us this hour. here s an interesting thing. sort of a personal thing, but also a news thing. right before president trump was impeached the first time, i published a book called blow out and the weird surprising to me thing about blow out is that tended up being oddly well timed. i had no idea it was going to be well timed when i set out to write it, but that s how it landed. it was a book about the oil and gas industry and the political power and geopolitical power of that industry. and a big chunk of that book was about all of the craziness and corruption in ukraine. and of course, then, right at the time the book came out, all the craziness and corruption in ukraine ended up being the setting, like the playing field for what president trump got impeached for the first time he got impeached. i did not intend it to land that way. it was fortuitous and i hope helpful to people trying to figure out that landscape while we were looking at that first impeachment. now,
well timed. that is how it landed. a book about the oil and gas industry and a big chunk of the book was about the craziness and the corruption in the ukraine. then it was the playing field. i didn t intend it to land it that way. well, now of course mr. trump is being impeached for a second time. and it is kind of uncanny, a lot of the things that i wrote about in the book that came out in the first trump impeachment. the whole reason that i wrote the book is because we were consistently underestimating the sway of this one industry. how much sway it has over politicals and governments here and around the world. i thought there was a need for a explainer and how the industry could explain. if something is happening that does not make sense on the surface it helps to look at the industry and see if they are maybe the hidden hand, when politics fail or governments are bad. this is a place to look. one thing to say here is the hidden power that is making it possible or impossib
