reporting from propublica, other outlets hopped on the thomas gift to beat. which is how we learned that a different benefactor gave thomas a loan to buy a $267,000 luxury rv, and then, get this, subsequently forgave the loan which, yeah, do the math in your head a bit. effectively means the rv was a gift for thomas. even just looking at what has been disclosed, according to an analysis from earlier this week, thomas is still a person on the court who seems to benefit the most from outside largess. when you say, looking at that chart? let's see, where is thomas? at the bar, all the way on the left, towering over everyone else's gift. it was reported by republicans, democrats, conservatives, liberals, everything in between. that bar there, the tower looming over everything, that is justice clarence thomas. but then, when you factor in undisclosed gifts, not reported by other sources, that is even
that is taken into consideration even if it's what you said there, that their lifelong friends that there is no intersection of harlan crows interest and the cases that are before or justices, including clarence thomas, the idea for regular american to see a lot of these justices getting six-figure book deals. but, but one in particular, taking these trips, how the average american looks at that yeah. look, it's a legitimate question and it's worthy of debate. i do think the justices, and i mean this broadly, all of them from right to left, don't end, should not think of themselves as political actors. i do have a disagreement with kate about that. i mean, the reason we give them lifetime appointments, the reason they don't stand before voters, the reason they had this installation around and their branch of government is because we don't want them to act politically. we just want them to think of themselves as acting only in the interest of the us constitution. and our laws that are passed by the political branches of our government. so i don't want them to begin to think of
everything. i watched how they had been covering the trump trial and hunter biden. they were talking about those two trials about equivalent. it's necessarily the case they had an influence. >> we also see this on basic factual claims like the 2020 election. here's another one. i don't know what the causal mechanism is. if we show donald trump won the 2020 election. that is a false belief. only 18% of americans do. but again you see to me there's participant of the story here is also the unique role that fox plays in the conservative information eco system that is just not the same as anything else. >> that's exactly right. it is a power house in the way that doesn't exist in the left or in the middle, right. it is the case that they are huge media outlets that moderates and democrats pay attention to. but there are a lot of them. it is diversified.
across europe, nearly two million more teenagers can vote for the first time, after some eu countries changed the law to allow 16— and i7—year—olds to take part. these belgian teenagers explain why the eu elections matter to them. it's a very big opportunity for us. and i really like it, because it gives us a voice that we never had before. europe needs to be stronger because we can't always trust nato. the tension is really getting - real and my history teacher now is really saying that it wouldn't surprise me| if something would . happen in the future. so that really scares me. opinion polls suggest younger voters have helped the far—right make significant gains. these young farmers now say the eu isn't listening to them and that immigration continues to be a problem. the reason why we vote for the right is that we have a status quo that we want them to do away with. we have global issues that we don't know how we can take control of. we can actually solve the issues that the left tried to solve but failed to do so.
big election and, of course it is notjust the election of the parliament itself but then the parliament itself but then the parliament will have to confirm the executive, the european commission which will be nominated over the course of the summer. it has huge political consequences for europe and so it is obviously important the people go and vote this weekend.— vote this weekend. different countries — vote this weekend. different countries vote _ vote this weekend. different countries vote in _ vote this weekend. different countries vote in different i countries vote in different ways the popular party is a states, general elections are not always the winning candidates in european elections. what do you expect to see in terms of parties of user policies that might do well this weekend?- user policies that might do well this weekend? earlier this ear well this weekend? earlier this year there _ well this weekend? earlier this year there was _ well this weekend? earlier this year there was talk _ well this weekend? earlier this year there was talk on - well this weekend? earlier this year there was talk on a i well this weekend? earlier this year there was talk on a huge l year there was talk on a huge dramatic lurch to the right in europe and we have seen trends in some member states over the last number of years where politics has become more polarised in the far right and far left have become a little
and grab a crime spree. instead, he is cutting almost 200 so that's off. the iranian all of this is that this crime spree is a direct cause of the budget deficit that california is experiencing because businesses and individuals are leaving the state. they want law & order, they want a safe environment. this is basic stuff. may be i should use really small words so the left can understand. you have to have a safe environment so businesses will be there, so individuals will be there. the more of those who have, you will have greater tax revenue for you to be able to fund those things. but gavin does not seem to understand that. in fact it is really accelerating this vicious cycle by cutting law enforcement, continuing the crime spree to see more businesses and individuals flee the state. >> you mentioned it could be 47 billion, it could be 27, give or take 10 or 20 billion. but in the minds of liberals, when it comes to something like
it's a very big opportunity for us. i really like it because it gives us a voice that we never had before. europe needs to be stronger because we can't always trust nato. the tension is really getting real and my history teacher| now are really saying that it wouldn't surprise me - if something would i happen in the future. so that really scares me. opinion polls suggest younger voters have helped the far right make significant gains. these young farmers say the eu isn't listening to them and that immigration continues to be a problem. the reason why we vote for the right is that we have a status quo that we want them to do away with. we have global issues that we don't know how we can take control of. we can actually solve the issues that the left tried to solve but failed to do so. there is a big issue when it comes to security and when it comes to keeping track of all the people that come in. i think that europe doesn't have the capacity to receive that many people. for more on this, i spoke to lucinda creighton,
