Fascist dictatorship, and so bill barr, after, ive got to say, humiliating himself for several years, bill barr decides, this is where i get off. This is enough. This is my line. I believe in an imperial presidency, but i dont believe in a fascist presidency. Thats what donald trump was asking him to do. Asking him to steal an election. Asking him to arrest his political opponents. Asking him to do the sort of things, again, that fascist dictators do. He wouldnt do it. Now, trump has turned on him. As far as fani willis goes and jack smith and everything else, again, we can point you back to it and play it for you again, what we were saying in 2019. If donald trump lost in 2020, he would run again, and hed run again simply to avoid all the crimes he was committing. Im not good at math, but that was four years ago. Four years ago, we were saying he will run again so he can try to avoid jail. Going to jail. Here we are. I must say, a lot of people were saying that, so its hard to believe
of the hall by officials. giorgia meloni has been sworn in as the head of italy s latest coalition government. she s the nation s first female prime mnister and its first far right leader since the second world war. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. borisjohnson has arrived back from holiday as the battle to replace liz truss as conservative leader and prime minister intensifies. mrjohnson s plane touched down at gatwick airport in the last hour. neither mrjohnson nor rishi sunak have declared their candidacy; only penny mourdant has officially put her name forward. we understand the former chancellor is expected to announce his candidacy shortly. but it s widely being seen as a battle between the former prime minister and the man who worked with him as chancellor. currently the bbc estimates 168 out of 357 tory mps have gone public with their support. rishi sunak has passed the key threshold of 100 backers, borisjohnson has 46 and penn
well, people are upset. there is no doubt about that. i ran on a very specific platform, and i kept my word. i stood by the things that i said that i would do based on research and analysis of the criminal legal system over my 20 years of practice. i talked about mass incarceration in this country and how florida leads the nation in incarceration. and i ran on a platform of implementing things that would change that. using the strong arm of the law when necessary, but also implementing programs that would divert people from the criminal system. the constituents are upset. they are angry because their votes have been stolen from them. they elected someone to govern according to their values, and that s been stripped away. he didn t put in someone who was close in ideology or anything like that because there was some, you know, malfunction with my way of doing thing. he put someone in who was opposite of what the people
Anymore, what do we have? so much of our system is based on faith and trust. to the guy who wrote the book on how democracies die and erode, ben rhodes, i mistakenly chalked a lot of it up to reflexive fetally to trump. this is the path to ending democracy. as someone who has been voughting from the roof tops, i wonder what you make of this reporting from the new york time? reporter: well, i think it is entirely skin with what we ve seen happening around the world. what is clear to me, the trump people are not only learning from his first term what he didn t put in place, his most virulent autocratic henchmen until the end of the administration burks they ve studied the play book in other places. if you look at what has been done in say, hungary, where he s
