Of power that rises to that threshold that is different than the american people have been hearing for three years? i dont hear that. >> you have gotten used to it, america. you cant quit now. senator john carry went out and tries to ascribe motivation to trumps request. >> here are the two possible scenarios. number one, the president asked for an investigation of a political rival. number two, the president asked for an investigation of possible corruption by someone who happens to be a politi...

The threshold for being part of the richest 1% by net worth in our country. this is as much to divert attention from her income as net worth as anything else. other than steyer, she is the wealthiest of all the democratic candidates by far. so he is just taking shots at her because he does not believe that her socialistic kind of policies, first of all are realistic, cant pass, and are bad for the country. brian: steve, i will tell you there is very few billionaires, i think there is only 700 an...

The same type of corruption. the only differences you had people like adam schiff are trying to negate the parts that you dont like for political convenience, saying things like, well, these are discounted conspiracy theories. we dont have to revisit this. yes we do because there are still outstanding questions and in terms of hunter biden i dont think hes on trial, i think he provides really critical context here and this is different from other congressional hearings weve seen because you are ...

All the time. so is there some sort of abuse of power that rises to that threshold that is different than the american people have been hearing for three years? i dont hear that. i think the american people want fairness and i dont think theyre going judge fair whns theyre accusing president trump of the same thing joe biden did, threatening the aid if some kind of corruption is not investigated. it seems like everybody, both parties, have been threatening aid if some kind of investigation eit...
