Jack, the point main in the white house for this. he is now kevin mccarthys political director. even within mccarthys current staff it is not only mccarthy who is complicit and has to testify, he has other people on his staff who have direct material evidence thats relevant to the january 6th committee. i think that also plays into his calculation on what to do because it will impact what those who work for him do. >> thats a remarkable 2k5i8. i dont know where the coup plotters went with the --...

Are backed up with virtually unanimously by the supreme court. >> yeah, i mean justice gorsuch and justice kavanaugh voted that way. it would have been an active really radical right-wing traditional activism to concoct compelling interest for donald trump in the majority found he did not even advance any instruct, much less a compelling one i would override an agreement between the legislative and executive branches. there was no warrant for invocation of the executive privilege, which of cours...

And katty kay. >> i would point to two things that they have pointed to in the last few hours. one is that donald trump called the willard hotel, which is kind of coup central. trump called right before the attack on january 6th, also the night of january 5th. we know theres several calls. the people on the other end of those call, the coup plotters, are claiming privilege. we dont know the substance, but it ties trump potentially directly to the plotting that was going on at the willard hotel. ...

See in the future where the justice department goes with that. will donald trump himself be brought into a conspiracy charge? do they believe that they can actually charge him with a crime? but theres a lot here for them to work with. >> yeah. that is the $64,000 question. i will note in other countries that coups sometimes happen, and when they dont work, the coup platters and the people who execute them are charged. you dont, like, try and then they say, ah, dont do that again. its pretty stan...

An agreement between the legislative and executive branches. there was no warrant for invocation of the executive privilege, which of course is an exceptional remedy. the basic rules of our courts is that the sovereign gets the evidence it wants. the rule of law depends on the and of course lead the january six committee has been winning all of these cases against coup plotters and insurrections who think that somehow donald trump can wave a magic wand where he used to do and prevent them from h...

Much bigger. but it might be the case that this guy thought that trump had legitimately one. but we do have reporting from the times and other places that trump him self was getting a bunch of memos, and ordering these executive memos to be written, that called for a season of electioneering and cuckoo stuff that is the behavior of dictators and coup plotters and the like. >> if i can interrupt you though, neal, you use the word intent. and i keep hearing from our lawyers, and i am not one, that...

Saying something and not saying something and always being protected by his army of lawyers and the wealth that surrounds him. and by the way, if you look at the students of rhetoric, they will tell you that both saying something and then not saying something is a hallmark of fascist rhetoric, where you basically make your point, very fine people on both sides, and then you go on and said but i denounce racism so sending the mixed message and thats what he does also in terms of sending signals t...

What was the relationship between the inside coup plotters around donald trump and the insurrectionists who broke our windows, attacked our police officers and stormed the capitol. >> and of course just days before that storming of the capitol, you lost your son, tommy, at the end of 2020. i cannot imagine the toll that must have taken on you and the family. in the documentary you reflect on that boy placing it in the larger context of so many losses americans suffered in the first year of the p...

Ice. >> youre a law professor and i know you choose your words carefully. would you say were in a fascist political moment right now? >> i think there clearly is fascistic politics. the political scientists will tell you that the best indicator of a successful coup coming is a recent failed coup where the coup plotters get to diagram the weaknesses in the current regime. so weve got to map that out for democracy and repair the walls so it doesnt happen to us again. >> i want to play a clip from ...
