Tennessee. Its great to have you here. I should have my passport stamped. Were about to see the biggest contrast you can a imagine, the president last night in montana, on his way to north dakota, and then of course barack obama in illinois, where he launched it all well, not that far from springfield, illinois, at least. What do we expect to hear from president obama . This is going to be a remarkable split screen, andrea, one that democrats and republicans have been anticipating, some of them ...

Develop recommendations that we will deliver a year from now that i hope and belief will be implementable and gain support among the american people. this group is, by the way, not limited to just lawyers. lawyers dont have a corner and a monopoly on wisdom. there are a number of just basic patriotic americans who want to help us out. >> jeh, this is claire, good morning to you judge, im hopeful that in this process there will be some effort to look at the lawyers who have violated their oath to...

Thats why he was boxed in, and they had to do something, they being the defense team to clean that up. >> but would you have? thats what i want to know. would you have put him on the stand? >> you know what it is? no attorney has a monopoly on wisdom. i can tell you as a defense team if everyone went in the room and all of us were lawyers, we would have such a disagreement. eventually the majority would win, but they took their shot. remember, inning doing that, t, he was a very skilled attorney...

Its completely irrational. >> so youve got -- i mean, unless the lay of the land is different than i perceive it, youve got one guy to convince and he doesnt seem to be on board. >> well, hes not on board. and that guy is my colleague, joe manchin. we have a difference of opinion about this. but you know, no one in the senate has a monopoly on wisdom. i think it is very clear in other countries that have a child allowance like the child tax credit, the workforce participation rates are actually ...

Before. that day did you have any evidence that ahmaud arbery was doing anything, much less a felony? so that would concern me because if you dont implicate and use that statute then how do you justify detaining him, stopping him and otherwise killing him? if you dont have that, then you dont have self-defense. but heres another thing that should concern them greatly. what should concern them is the issue of self-defense. if youre the initial aggressor, you dont get the benefit. if youre engagin...

If you dont have that, then you dont have self-defense. but heres another thing that should concern them greatly. what should concern them is the issue of self-defense. if youre the initial aggressor, you dont get the benefit. if youre engaging in a felony like aggravated assault, like false imprisonment, you dont get the benefit of self-defense. and in the event youre provoking because youre pointing a rifle, you dont get that benefit. so that concerns me. last point. and that is on the issue o...
