distinguished supreme court practitioner, laurence tribe. harvard historian, yell historian, and of course on this important night we are fortunate to hear from to law professors who are also practitioners, andrew weissmann, and neal katyal. neil katyal is of course a distinguished supreme court practitioner, having argued 50 cases before the court, and andrew weissmann is a former federal prosecutor and justice department official. my mission therefore in this hour is to get out of the way so that you can hear from them and not me. but i, want to take a minute to begin with two things that may reside more in the category of pet peeves than scholarly discussion that you are about to hear from our guests. one is that clarence thomas should ve recused himself from this case because everyone on that bench today knew, clarence thomas s wife was there. she was there, she was present when donald trump incited engaged in insurrection. the essence of our case is president trump s o
Romney and President Biden making jokes about donald trump. There was a lot to go around yesterday. Mitt romney, wow. Bring it home, willie. Yeah, mitt romney going in there, obviously no love lost between those two men. Mitt romney, expect to hear more of that throughout the campaign. Expert legal analysis on yesterdays testimony in the Hush Money Trial and the Gag Order Against Trump. Straight ahead. President bidens joke came while he was campaigning in florida. On the issue of Reproductive Rights and Womens Health care, blaming trump for Overturning Roe and these extreme Abortion Laws. Well show you more of the president s speech. Quite a flex going down to florida while trump was stuck in court in New York City. On capitol hill, a Top Republican admits its trumps fault that Border Security hasnt passed. We knew that. To hear this republican say it really brings it home. Willie, i had the news on all day, if i heard the word pecker one more time, i was going to lose my mind. David
Our lifetime? in many respects, i believe it is worse, because it is becoming more and more acceptable among conventional so-called conventional politicians, members of congress, to engage in extremist rhetoric that encourages this type of attitude. it s rewarded among and this type of behavior. among many republicans. exactly. that goes, in my opinion and this is something i hope our task force will address. that goes to what incentivizes politicians to engage in this kind of rhetoric. something like 400 of the 435 seats in the house of representatives are safe seats. so, the democrat is looking over their left shoulder at a primary challenge and the republican is looking over their right shoulder for a primary challenge, not thinking about attracting main stream voters and getting them to vote for them. so, so much of this, in my judgment, tracks back to what
They and will they? you and i don t know that. if they did, it would be a landslide. wow. i want to say this and there are a lot of people bring it out here. here is donny, living in the upper east side and he s rich and he s got weird art behind him. a lot of dogs. donny got that home by understanding what american wants as far as brands go and understanding how to connect to americans and i will say this, and you may not like a former republican saying this with an ad exec saying this, a branding guru saying this. listen to me, it s really important to understand you were radically out of step. radically out of step with main stream voters. there is a reason why a guy from
He is the candidate voters think could beat trump and also the candidate he most shares their views on the issues. again, this is just among democratic primary voters. does this poll indicate democratic primary voters are actually more moderate and less progressive? yes, yes. the activists in vote in primaries and vote in caucuses on both sides of the aisle, the democratic activists tend to be much more liberal than the democratic main stream voters. if you ve got the activists who really want your heart they want, you know, tough stuff. but there are a lot of moderate republicans out there, middle of the road republicans that you want to pick up in places like pennsylvania that are going to be critical down the stretch. i want you to listen to a comment mayor pete buttigieg made that s getting a lot of attention. i think this is getting to be a two way. it s early to say. but you see it coming into
