the midst of all this. part of the president's inner circle. the white house lawyers on behalf of the president prevented her from answering any questions related to her service in the white house. making in very bogus claim about something called absolute immunity which doesn't exist. the courts have rejected that. we don't have a king. there is no such thing as absolute immunity. she didn't invoke privilege. they just used this madeup claim they don't have to answer questions which will be rejected by a court. >> i want to ask you more about what she said. to that point, first, obviously chairman nadler says he is destroying the white house claim. destroy his word for absolute immunity for hicks and don mcgahn who the white house is preventing from testifying under oath. but you say this is going to be easy. look, i know it hasn't been gone sided by the supreme court. the obama white house even argued a senior administration official in their case shouldn't have to testify. are you really confident you'll win this so easily. >> absolutely, yes.
today. >> i think you will see when the transcript was released there was inquiry with respect to the payments appearen, again, we're not permitted to discuss her actual testimony. but that subject matter was covered in part during the examination today. >> all right. well i appreciate your time congressman, thank you, zblier thank you, my pleasure. >> and next breaking news joe biden facing new attacks tonight for comments he made about working with segregationist senators. >> not here to criticize other democrats or -- but it's never okay to celebrate segregationists. never. >> plus the only black republican snor coming to mitch mcconnell's defense after the majority leader claimed the united states in part paid for the sin of slifry by electing president obama. why? and president trump officially launching his 2020 campaign but sounding a lot like he did last time. >> 33,000 emails deleted.
lot of the democrats had to work with. and some of them were democrats. and they had to work with them to get things passed. but for today -- for today we are a very divided nation. and it's one side or the other. and he was talking about a time when he had to work with these people. but the problem for joe biden is right now is that these young people, these young people who were obama young people, who helped obama become president of the united states, they look at this as joe biden basically giving add oration to these people when he is not. but we are in a different era. for him the question is how do you bridge the gap or apologize because it's a big capitalism he created. >> joan, let me ask you this a senior adviser to biden campaign saying bide didn't sprays the segregationist. he says sometimes you have to
in population is indian americans moving from india. you can't go to a 7-eleven or dunkin' donuts unless you have a slight indian accent. i'm not joking. i mean you got the first sort of mainstream african-american who is articulate and bright and clean, and a nice looking guy. i mean, that's a story book, man. >> he is going to let the big bags once again write their own rules. unchain wall street. they're going to put you all back in chains. >> april, does that contextualize what he is saying now in a more disturbing light or not. >> well, you know, i remember when he made the comments about barack obama talking about how clean he was. but, you know, at that time barack obama had to come out and save joe biden. you know with the comments.
more as undermining barack obama, that joe biden's -- the most important thing about joe biden is his standing with black voters. and when he talks again and again as though he could work with segregationist and mitch mcconnell, and work with even the modern republican party, what he is saying is -- or he is raising a question about why barack obama couldn't. and i don't think he wants to be going arthro. >> april, here is my question about some of this, right? i mean it doesn't come in a vacuum. i mean there are by the way members of the black caucus defending biden's record on race recommendation pngs many exact sheila jackson lee among them. but there are many voters of different color who have concerns about biden because of his 1994 crime bill stance but also because of comments he made, which is why it's hard to put this in a vacuum, comments like these. >> in dwir, the largest growth
elizabeth warren or pete buttigieg get. it opens minds and also raises questions about whether joe biden is what they want for the future of america, with one owe someone again who has rerns points and makes comments like this. the thing the boyden camp tells itself is they are going to raise far and away the most amount of money in the second quarter. far ahead of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. and they see this as a long ball. a lot of us remember in 2007 barack obama, hillary clinton, they were weaker rustier candidates early on. but the biden camp at least tells uts seven this is a long pahl. >> joan, as trump has shown. people have a tolerance for things they didn't have a tolerance for a few years ago. >> yeah, not the democratic base. you know, i just -- i think i'm not saying this is disqualifying or that he can't get past this. but we are not the republican party.
believe that if you're black in america, have you no ability to change your circumstances or to be whatever you choose to be. and he points to two people, michael jackson and kanye west who have effectively reached the pinnacle. why not point to barack obama and tell us all that barack obama couldn't become because that's essentially where he is at. if he really wanted to do a dissection of this particular subject, barack obama is a perfect example of it. steve: real quickly, kevin, would he have had a problem with council yea west if kanye west support you had hillary rodham clinton. >> of course not. that's what the contradiction is as long as you support the powerful white person who has got the democrat after their name, you're fine. but support donald trump, and it's bad. look, a they are very afraid, steve as you know. steve: kevin jackson joining us from phoenix where it's really early. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. steve: before the top of the hour on this tuesday.
ainsley: like god? brian: like charlie's angels ♪ >> do they meet him at the end? steve: i think. so deal or no deal. today at 2:00. you need to be tubeside to the fox news channel. the president of the united states is going to explain warrant the united states is going to pull out of the iranian deal. this is big because most of our important european allies say, mr. president, you are right. it's a stink bomb but don't do it. ainsley: said it's a very bad deal. is he saying that we have given a lot. we haven't gotten a lot in return. right now there are sanctions relief. and that was under the obama era deal. and the president says it was the worst deal ever. so he has until saturday to decide if is he going to extend that relief. the deadline is may 1st. brian: secretary of defense mattis says, i read it three times. he wants to stay in it john bolton dot not. mike pompeo does not want to stay in it. you have the foreign minister of britain coming
and he ran on that unless charges are made. he doesn't trust iran. molly hemmingway was on last night. she agrees with that she says if you are going to pull out, we need to have a plan. listen. >> obviously it's a bad deal and obviously barack obama could have gotten a better deal. and one of the things that's ferrari frustrating about it u.s. gave a lot at the front end with the hopes that iran would have more to provide at the back end. the question is, you can agree it's a bad deal, but what happens now? and what happens if the u.s. departs but iran and europe stay together? are we going to do secondary sanctions? what is the plan after this? it might be better to have some kind of construct around iran than no construct even though i think it's hard to say this is anything other than a very bad deal. brian: one thing it is, it was sanctions relief. what they used is the money to help take over syria. they were already influenced now they basically have the country to align lebanon with missiles pointed right
negotiated iranian deal. he was the one that -- save the obama era deal. the best of luc bulk of the neg. here to explain cia officer and radio talk show host buck sexton. buck, this seems to be a violation of the logan act, which is never prosecuted. this is really out of line, isn't it? >> i think the former secretary of state and he needs a reminder that he is in fact former is wrong on every conceivable level here. i think he is wrong on the substance, which people can disagree on but the iran deal has some fatal flaws in it. it has from the start. ballistic missiles, the sun set provisions, some of the sites that do not actually get inspections. we can disagree on that. that all said, there is also a bad faith element here. you can only have one secretary of state, one administration at a time. and for a former secretary of state to step in here, brian, and act like the shadow secretary of state really undermines the authority of the people who
