The extent that its at all different from a year ago, or 18 months ago, its different simply because of things that trump has made happen in recent weeks by kind of bringing everything to a standstill. republicans had control of both chambers of congress for two years. he made this promise before he ever got into office on the campaign trail. what happened over those two years? is he didnt get this done. im kind of glad he didnt get it done buecause i think its silly policy. now he feels the clo...

Justice. what does it say to you that mueller appears to view false or misleading statements to the public as obstruction of justice? >> well, first off, im a little curious where the information that thats the line that mueller is investigating is coming from because so much of our information, it comes from defense attorneys or it comes from white house legal counsel. im always a little bit skeptical as to where thats coming from in terms of when its characterizing what the mueller investigati...

Ways,b and y ways, and perhaps you will see it in the packages which include votes for medicare for all, and this is a moment of great time, because it is a little hope for the democrats to have power, but it is also a time of peril, because if they are using this moment to fight among themselves, they will not be an effective counterweight to president trump and they well wind up losing the house and the presidency as well, so it is a time of great promise and great peril. >> and so let me pick...

And let it play out. but i do think having someone speak on the free trade issue, speak about civility, speak about the issues that i think weve kind of given to the democrats. climate is an issue that i think we need to address and our party is not leaning in on that issue. were giving the democrats an issue even though we may not agree with their solutions. id like to see some of the ideas and solutions the president is unwilling to embrace be brought up. >> who do you think should primary the...

If -- if the -- if the trump campaign read in the newspaper the leaks of the -- the wikileaks tapes, then thats certainly not a crime. the question becomes what was the connection between the trump campaign and wikileaks? was there encouragement? was there coordination? was there collusion to use the famous word in connection with this campaign. thats -- thats what we dont know. it is not a crimecism my to receive information through the news media, but nature of the relationship between wikilea...

Experts say theres not a responsible process in place under this president. >> both the timing and the way in which it was done. the timing was curious, because the president had suffered a bad week. number one, he had his former national security adviser be lectured by a sitting federal judge accusing him of betraying the country. then we had the disallusion ordered by new york authorities of the trump foundation, and then we had the resignation by his secretary of defense. so all of that comes...

This early christmas gift which obviously i guess wasnt mine. i did put that on a credit card, but credit is extended to consumers and businesses for a reason. with rates down as they are, as we have seen over the last couple months, it was kind of curious as to why the 10-year note has fallen from three and a quarter, to two and some change. that tells me something is weakening and all these businesses and consumers could be getting overleveraged. >> we are hearing a lot of name dropping, and w...
