Past facts to the point of idolatry. this has real implications for our democracy as a new cnn poll shows a 54% of republicans believe there is solid evidence biden did not legitimately win the election. there is, in fact, no evidence to that effect as more than 60 court cases have established. but they have bought into the baseless big lie hook, line and sinker. look, all the what aboutism in the world cannot deflect from the fact donald trump tried to overturn an election, tried to destroy our...

Jonathan lemire i know you want to jump in. i dont disagree about trumps involvement with this and that his dealings with the taliban will be downright disgusting and treasonous whatever word you want to use, anti-democratic, not conducive to a good outcome. however you want to describe it. but this is joe bidens. he made this decision. i worry a little bit about the what aboutism, putting it back on trump. you can do it, he owns a lot of it, but joe biden made this decision. >> right. no questi...

That trumps aides drafted an insurrection act order to deploy the u.s. military on american soil in response to protests. president denied it at the time. no surprise there. but the idea was in wide circulation. because right wing vigilante group members were caught online hoping trump would invoke the insurrection act around january 6. but even this bombshell news about a potential presidential coup for which there is no precedent in mrn history might sound to some folks like a trump scandal. m...

Different set of questions for the gop going into the fall and into 24. >> and well get there when we get there. one of the issues that came up earlier, the january 6th select committee. they couldnt agree. the speaker went ahead with a select committee. republicans have their own emerging plan. once mccarthy names his picks, they want to focus on the stuff pelosi took or didnt take to secure the capitol that way according to republican sources. the actions everybody took that day can and should...

Pompeo, former secretary of state, cia, west point, biden should do more than meet. he should hold a joint press conference to blast putin off the stage. like trump did? oh, you only go back, what happened -- its not a false equivalency. it is apples to apples. it is not what-aboutism. the basis for your analysis. if youre going to say he was not strong enough here, why did you say nothing about that? come on. hes doing, theyre doing exactly what putin wants to do. so lets bring back an expert w...

Really no commitments. and president trump we are going to play a little sound. he said this is great day for russia. we didnt get anything. no commitments on the cyberattacks against the united states. no commitments about freeing the american prisoners that were over there we had one of the families on our show yesterday. no commitment to stop poisoning or imprisoning his political rivals did and not take responsibility at all for hacking our companies. 100 u.s. companies. brian: how do you su...

The room who knows the portfolio in case putin goes into some crazy es tearic thing and most certainly did that to president trump. does anybody know what a m lat treaty is? my guess is no. putin brought that up with president trump. had he had fiona hill in the room she could have answered that question for him instead of the mistake he later made in the press conference about that. on the joint press conference, i think its a mistake for two reasons. one, i dont think putin is worthy to be on ...

Kinds of false statements about america, what aboutism and all of the rest that he tried to get away with and couldnt with our keir simmons. and joe biden, instead of stating what he wants to be the american positions and his takeaways and hes spent a considerable amount of time rebutting secondarily rebutting what vladimir putin has said and that ought to be at the top of his agenda, so yes, hes batting cleanup and at the same time he doesnt get the first word in. >> andrea there was a line tha...

Doctors, thats why he needs to be in prison. well, yeah, if you were poisoned by the russian state, you are probably not going to want to rely on russian state doctors. im glad that president biden did speak his name and raised this issue as well as the captivity of americans as well as russian interference in our election, russian malign activities in ukraine and and, of course, the very important cyber issues. >> he certainly did. he even compared -- putin even compared navalny to the rioters ...

Why give him that chance to play the what aboutism game. i just dont think thats in americas national interest. i think the president should speak directly to the american people after his meeting. i think that was a wise decision. >> yeah. very wise. >> not mincing words at all. ambassador mcfaul in geneva, thank you very much. wow. >> jack and i, my 13-year-old, we talk about it. >> jack brought it up. >> he said, okay, all right. >> its a mutualist legal system treaty. >> thanks, jack. >> we ...
