Seriously. maybe that provides a sort of little bit of check. basically the presidents got a lot of power here. he is actively abusing it. you know, the question is are we as a political culture going to tolerate that. >> eli, americans have power too. they voted tuesday. were seeing democrats challenging the president over firing sessions. if this is what democrats are being forced to do day one is there any hope of by paipartisap in terms of policy? im thinking infrastructure, health care, edu...

Investigation and if he were in sessions job he would choke out the budget so it wouldnt exist anymore? >> its worse than that even because he is also somebody who was the campaign chair of a person in iowa who is now a witness before the grand jury in this investigation, sam clovis. look, the justice department has a process for this sort of thing. the ethics lawyers at the department advise senior officials when theres a question about whether they should recuse. that is of course exactly what...

>> eli, this wouldnt have anything to do with the midterms? >> you are right. the clips do show this is something the president felt strongly about. immigration is his number one issue and what galvanized support for his campaign when he lost it by talking about mexicans bringing rapists to the country. he uses fear of different minority subgroups, chinese taking jobs, the caravan. he tries to stoke fears to get people to turn out to support him. that is something the president has been consiste...

Different. 15 bombs sent to political opponents of the president and one news organization and saturday, 7 people killed at a synagogue. like every other post tragedy moment, the presidents response has been the same. read off a teleprompter and then say how he really feels on twitter or at rallies. given that, what should americans look to for comfort and solace in times like this. the circus and l.a. times white house reporter, eli, first to you. what is the presidents plan for pittsburgh? i k...

Coming days. eli, ill turn to you. >> to get back to one of your earlier points about letting the republican party off the hook, im not letting the republican party off the hook. the republican party is not in my you view the cause of racism in america. they are the beneficiaries of racism in america. the florida race is a perfect example where an andrew gillum said it to desantiss face. the issue is not whether desantis is a racist. the issue is that all others think desantis is a racist. >> we...
