attack on the capitol that day. it's been debunnedked over and r again. what do you think about that? >> the republicans are in power. they're conducting v investigations. now, it's just all talk. it's just a talking point. if they had something, wouldn't you think kind of like with the hunter biden thing. if they had something, wouldn't you think it would be out there by now? maybe. i don't know. but investigations, truth is the best disinfectant. open up. transparency. that's what you want. >> yeah. >> until you got proof of everything, you got nothing. >> yeah. and let me ask you. this is what trump had to say earlier today. >> we have a man, he can't put two sentences together. he can't speak. he can't, although yesterday he tried to play tough guy. i'm a threat to democracy. he's a threat to democracy
mycroft and what i think the republicans have to come to grips with. it's one thing to say he shouldn't be prosecuted. it's another thing to put them forward as someone suitable to be the chief executive of our country. >> neil: i want to go to bob on this subject. what he touched on. he is no fan of donald trump today. obviously he was his general. his attorney general. one of the things he said was this idea, this passion. you certainly see it showing up. feeling there is a double standard. anything donald trump or republicans, bad. anything joe biden, democrats, not bad. that's what's galvanizing the republican party. more specifically the donald trump legions of voters. what do you think? >> listen, neil. there were some missteps,
criminal line. >> neil: so when you look at the media attention and certainly the attention we're getting out of the justice department regarding hunter biden and attention to that case and anything donald trump and attention to these cases, does the former president have a point to say it's not fair? it is rigged? >> i said all along and most republicans feel this way that it's true. there's a double standard and our justice system is much more aggressive pursuing republicans than democrats. i don't think that necessarily means that what we should do about that is to let people go because hillary clinton didn't get hammered for what she did. therefore we should let people go. i don't feel that that's the right way to respond. but even if it is, even if you're saying we shouldn't prosecute them, what sticks in my crawl and what i think republicans have to come toe grips with, it does -- it's one thing to say he should be
general, would you have already appointed a special prosecutor? >> neil: if i was a.j., i wouldn't have needed special counsel. i didn't have a conflict of interest. the investigation was going on while i was there. i saw before the election, there might be reason not to take certain steps to make it public. it was not a public investigation. after the election, there was no reason to put the brakes on this thing. i'm worried about what happened. >> neil: are you more inclined now given the re-lations and business dealings and conversations where dad was present that there's enough there there that this is of a far greater magnitude? >> yes. what were they paying him for? why settle up the llcs to put the money through, et cetera. >> neil: isn't that easy to track? can't you track money and transfers? >> no. it's hard sometimes. they get foreign banks to cooperate with you. it takes some time. but it's been over 2 1/2 years
since the election. >> neil: what would be the dividing line for president biden? money that left hunter and went to dad, proof that it went to dad or that gifts went to dad using money from such foreign enterprises? >> the big one is the questionwr influenced in return for money. bribes. >> neil: you see anything in the president's behavior today that shows that he might -- >> i don't want to speculate. that's why i said this thing about either they're going to have the goods on him and if weiss ran this down and had a thorough investigation and decided that there was no case, then it still could be shameful. and he shouldn't be fit to be president by selling his office this way. but it may not have crossed the
officials, i think about three or so, that had not dared to weigh-in on that, why do you think that is? >> you know, the interesting thing about trump, i've noticed about him, he doesn't have a durable relationship with anyone other than people that are financially dependent on him. >> neil: why did you join him? >> because he was -- he was the duly elected president of the united states. he was carrying out policies with which i generally agreed as a conservative republican and a big lie being used against him and being treated unfairly. nobody from the established legal profession was standing up. so i felt when he asked me to come in that i should come in to help the administration stabilize and make sure this thing was handled properly, which i did. but now after the election, he became the author of a big lie much to the detriment of the country. >> neil: so general, when you look at where things stand now
>> neil: meantime here, some growing concerns about what is going on with the economy. the reason why we're having to backup if interest rates supposedly is because things are improving and walmart sales prove it. lo and behold, we get numbers that show it's getting inflationary just to get a mortgage. more after this. your brain is an amazing thing. but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. my heart failure diagnosis changed my priorities. i want time for the people i love.
whether that's by the justice department or various agencies. down the stretch of the last presidential election. the hunter biden thing was deemed as russian's information. it wasn't. some people still believe that to this day. i think there is a legitimate question about the fbi on both sides from democrats and republicans. they had a tough run. they are supposed to be fair, they are supposed to be just. in some ways they have not been. there's been serious missteps. speak to >> neil: add bill barr to the list of republicans who think maybe because they want to think this way that donald trump won't be the republican nominee. that it will fade as these cases sort of go on and on. whether they come to trial immediately or not. that he won't be the nominee. the polls don't seem to indicate that but he said it's a matter of time. what do you think of that? >> it's hard to see. how many times have we heard
future trump administration that would be? >> yes. one of the things i'll have to weigh if i'm confronted with biden is my concern of the kinds of people he would have about him. he was always about tit for tat. it's funny. republicans are complaining about weaponization of the department. i think it's a fair thing to pursue. but trump made it clear he wants to weaponize the department of justice. >> neil: is that what you think his four years would be? >> that would be my concern. among many. among many. >> neil: for you now, to wrap this up, i'm curious, of all the candidates in this big debate next week, and i'm just wondering, who intrigues you in that bunch? you have had kind things to say about ron desantis and some of the others. you haven't mentioned a
