fast-tracked, and the president seems to be squashing it. thank you all so much. now to an important story about the way the internet and specifically youtube which so many of our kids are on all day can lead people down idealogical rabbit holes and transform them into political extremists by fueling hyperpartisanship and feeding them a steady diet of conspiracy theories. kevin bruce wrote this front page extraordinary piece titled the making of a youtube radical. kevin, congratulations. what a piece. i want to get to the youtube aspect in a minute, but first, some people could say, there is no way i buy in to some of these viewpoints. but what you profiled was not a radical extremist when he started. tell us how the road goes. this was a 21-year-old guy in west virginia named caleb cain.
right. you ve seen the men who served the nation in various capacities get into the trump camp and completely disavow previous believes and the hard work they ve done and leave ultimately in disgrace, whether it s personal or amongst their professions or in the national media. i think what s so worrisome, for a political science professor, i read the federalist papers, the letters that george washington left us before he left office. they warned us about this. it s one thing to have hyper partisanship, which is one thing george washington worried about. it s another thing to have foreign influence. once that seeps in our allies know they can t trust us, they re going to move on and form coalitions without us. the people who have a hold on donald trump, whether it s russia, north korea, the saudis who spend 26 nights in a suit in his hotel and they know he reads
deeply concerning issue about how people were brought into this country as children with no choice of their own. have been living in fear and uncertainty with no path towards a future. that s what this bill addresses. these people who have known no other country than the united states of america as their home should have the opportunity to earn their citizenship. this bill provides the path to do that. martha: there were moments both sides felt it could pass. this probably is not one of them. heading in an election moment. you are running for president does this give you and other democrats something to run on and this is what we would try to push through if we win both houses and the presidency? you mentioned just in the last segment, the hyper-partisanship has gotten in the way of delivering a real solution. this legislation and finding a
so, you know but barr has seen no evidence of that. no evidence. again, this goes to his credibility which i think has been at issue for the last many months. that s a great point. in fact, that is what we should talk about because many people don t know that they can trust whatever bill barr says because once you read the mueller report how different his summary was. also, john, it s interesting that he says that he saw no evidence of obstruction in the instances that robert mueller laid out because many legal analysts including, we should say, those on fox tv said that that would have constituted obstruction for any other american were he not a sitting president. he s basically saying mueller is a bad lawyer and the consensus of most prosecutors is wrong. also he keeps repeating this line that there was countervailing evidence against cases of obstruction on an equal basis throughout the report. that s just not the case. the fact he s condemning hyper
ran into the rocks of reality. the founding fathers may have intended impeachment to be the proper way of holding a president to account at least in mueller s fairly narrow reading of his constraints, but that ignores the reality that the founders didn t anticipate which is that the congress would be so polarized they would have effectively no ability to reason together. that s where we are. the remedy mueller is pointing to and saying congress, the founding fathers said it is up to you, that doesn t exist right now because of the rot of hyperpartisanship. the robert mueller thinks he s been clear, the report speaks for itself, no, it doesn t. even yesterday it wasn t crystal clear. this is why lawmakers want to pose direct questions to him. they want to subpoena him or have him appear and ask him questions. it hasn t been crystal clear. on that note, attorney general bill barr said he met with robert mueller on march 5 and asked him directly, would you,
