good morning. welcome to weekends with alex witt. here what s happening. it was a windy shin ding. the contenders spoke at the annual grass roots fundraising dinner where hillary clinton got the big cheers but the other candidates came out swinging. it s clear we re ready to rock and roll, we re energized, we re unified and we re going to win this election in 2016. the american people are sick and tired with establishment politics. tell me what we ve come to as a country that you can get pulled over for having a broken taillight but if you wreck the nation s economy you are totally untouchable. what kind of neoconcool aid is this man drinking. the festivities may be over but there is a lot happening in iowa with the state fair drawing candidates from both parties. no one is expected to make a bigger entrance, though, than donald trump who plans to arrive by helicopter this afternoon. he s also promised to give free rides in his chopper for the fairgoer. before ta
broke into the home of a prominent doctor and his wife. dr. william pettitte was beaten and bound in the basement. his wife and two daughters were murdered. the mother and youngest daughter just 13 raped during the course of the crime. dr. petit sproek out about the death penalty. jennifer hawke petit s sister also reacting. decided these two men should get the death penalty. to have it just taken away. it makes you wonder why we spend all that time in the court systems. joining me now on the phone is connecticut public defender thomas ullman. he represented steven hays, one of the two men convicted in the murders of the petit women. mr. ullman, thank you for your

campaign. darrell issa said this clo of e is another attack on the nation s constitution were by this president. steven hays is here. good morning. this was a brief hiatus between the last one and this w see what he knows about using his office and other white house goods to win election. he is part of the political wing in the white house so we would know something? he would know a lot about the white house and that is why darrell issa wants to talk to him and the white house is saying since he is support for the president he has immunity. do they have an argument? i think they have a strong argument. it is one thing to subpoena someone where there is evidence of wrongdoing. it is another thing when the evidence, hasn t at least, been provided or made public. the white house would argue the president needs to have the option to get advise without congress looking over his shoulders. there is a long standing tradition about many presidents making that. so there
