She does not. I hope it does.
to that. I hope she will come involuntarily. We we ve, certainly spoken with
numbers of people who are similarly situated in terms of the discussions that she,
was having that you mention. So it's very important for us to speak
with her and and, as I said, I hope she will agree to do so voluntarily, but but I'm sure we will contemplate a subpoena if she won't
Jenny Thomas sent several text messages to mark meadows, former president trump chief of staff

Her lawyer, though, has pushed back against voluntarily talking to the panel
asking lawmakers to give quote better justification for her testimony, meaning
I'll cheney and other members of the committee commented on whether they plan to make a criminal referral to the just department about former president trump.
there is a massive difference between I'm an approach
the last administration for political vengeance and not
prosecuting administration that literally
tempted a failed coup?
That is a that as a precedent. I'm way more concerned about, I sure, as hell hope they have.
investigation at this point under donald trump. I have no direct knowledge of the status of their investigations, but what I'd say, as you can tell the department just
watching our hearings closely. The committee has not decided yet whether or not will make criminal referrals that something we
take very seriously
and I would also say that the department of justice certainly is very
We focused based on what we see publicly on what is the largest criminal investigation in american history
marriage the committee fanning out over the weekend on television just couple days after the make that primetime case at least
At least this section of their hearings.
Give us your assessment. Did they do that, and what would it mean if the court of justice did take the step there,
plenty of their there to these hearings. I was, I followed,
as closely as anyone watching the show, and I was surprised by some of the revelations and just re living it in russia.

His most active support
hers, and so I do think it made a difference. I think that this month of lag time is going to be an interesting window to see what happens with some of the primaries and donald trump in his decision to get into the race and whether he announces, but they need to pick it up again in september, because there is still plenty of unanswered questions: richer. There's your true audiences! Here right, there were, of course,
a garland department, justice, but also, as the least said republican.
poll, suggests that yeah this has had a little bit of an impact. Trump is still, the favorite was nuts, not sure.
that in twenty twenty four but his popularity, his dip? Some do you think so
Other audience department, justice, where they listening. I think there
I think, because, obviously the committee had access to material that they haven't had access to it's, why they requested all the all the the transcripts, but I think it's a really complicated set of calculations for them about what
They want to take it to that point, whether other worried about a jury trial, whether he could you can ever find a jury that we can victim. I think it's a real question
country wet weather, these hearings or better Jonathan? As what you might,
a civic education but influence
the country and, by the way, most important might be independence,
but my vote and a general action rather than republican primers, whether it s the most important or whether you think it is the legal aspect of this, and I am unpersuaded yet nothing.
Lawyer too easy for me to talk about.
but the legal package necessary the most important but might be, in some cases, the political path and that's where the hearings might be most important sector
you're probably have about a month before the committee resumes, they say. They're gonna have some sort of hearing when they put a preliminary report. In the intervening month list
These is facing a primary and was worthwhile me. She is, of course, in many ways become the face of the committee, a republican, obsolete
the trump she's dead
the polls, what
I mean. What is it tell us if
we now. We see this committee again she's defeat
it's for reelection, but it will. Let us know that the problem is just simply donald trump
This is throughout the country
right and we have pockets of the country that actually agree. Ideologically
its trump ism and its evident thing itself and our politics, but I will not go back to something that richer said. Yes to, politics is important, I think so, but this figure
rule. The rule of law is also important. If it turns out,
There is an individual,
war in office, the presidency that is above the rule of law, what happens downstream, and I think the question around donald trump
that I think the committee, as laid out there are clearly and even the question original thomas right.
Do we do with these folks who believed that they stand outside the sphere of the rule of law, and how does that
and play itself out among everyday ordinary folk who in some ways bear the burden. The
of the rule of law in some way. I'm just not sure we're there yet, and I think again, we normally again not a lawyer, but you did
the case up and you go
did you first look at other people around them
Can the justice department is dairy and I don't think they need to be the are there yet at the question of whether to go ahead and go after the president? Personally, I think that's premature, let
thing player, so
top of the show you heard. Congresswoman cheney refer to the two editorials from rupert murdoch: own news outlets against for president tromp, one from their posts for presence there,
newspaper and the other from the wall street journal, the journal
its world titled? The president who stood silent on january sixth, begins like this.
No matter your views of the january stick special committee, the fact it is laying out in hearing
are celebrating the most horrifying to date. Came thursday in a hearing on president trumps conduct as the right raged, and he sat
and tv posting
Majority tweets
refusing to send help. It continues. Mister
took an oath, to defend the constitution, and he had a duty as commander in chief to protect the capital from a mob attacking it in his name. He refused
He didn't call the military to send help here
You call MR paths to check on the safety of his loyal vp. Instead,
He said the mobs anger and left the room.
it play out
Eighteen months since MR tromp has shown not an iota of regret.
Our job is revealed in a crisis and MR pants path.
His january six trial, MR trump utterly failed. His
Meanwhile, the near post went even further. What's it with its editorial, with this headline
from silence on january sixth, is damning. They write in part this. There
been much debate over whether trumps rally speech on January six, twenty twenty one constituted incitement,
That's somewhat of a red herring
what matters more and has become crystal clear in recent days, is that true
Didn't lift a finger to stop the violence that followed it
was the only person who
stop what was happening.
It was the only one the crowd was listening to. It was incitement by silence. It concludes.
Only focus was to find any needs day and the consequences to block the peaceful
transfer of power
There is no other explanation. Just
there is no defence for his refusal to stop the violence. It's up
the justice department to decide at this is a crime
but as a matter of principle as a man,
of character trump
is proven himself unworthy to be.
Countries chief executive again, charlie sykes, I'm gonna, guess you don't disagree with much of that.
Wanna get your take on it, but more than that, give us your analysis.
of them, significance of where these
charles appeared in two rupert murdoch: own outlets,
He, of course, also owns fox news, David
extraordinarily friendly to donald trump. Throughout most of his tenure, there seems to be signs that may be changing
well, first of all, Jonathan, I do agree with those editorials and I think that they are really very much on point. Although I get my one quibble would be. No donald trump was in fact not silent on January six that he was on the phone and he was putting out tweets that were targeting vice president mike pence, that was worse,
a dereliction of duty? But I guess
Most of us on the panel today are old enough to remember when newspaper editorials actually had some real cloud or significance, or maybe
they never did, but it is significant that the rupert murdoch, publications would publish these editorials, but the reality is. The fox news is far more influential than the editorial pages of the wall street journal or the new york posed to mean this may be influential with the donor class. But, as eddie mentioned about the way roaming primary, we need to understand what the mood is among the republican electorate and night. After night after night, rupert murdoch, sad news network is broad,
asking trumpets, trumpets propaganda and as long as and as long as that, bull horn is employed to prop up
well, I don't think you're going to see an appreciable difference, but but it certainly is interesting and also just don't make a note here. Fox news had not reported on those editorials until Liz cheney brought them up on fox news yesterday. So once again, Liz cheney, rather remarkable performance and pointing out that the boss of the folks I mean the owner of the of the company in fact, has taken this particular position. But I wouldn't read too much into it in terms of the impact it's going to have, except that we do have the drip drip drip of of republic
and thinking you. Nor can we just move on from this freak show at us about,
backing a winner. We should recall that murdoch and a lot of news corporations were actually slow to support trump in two thousand and fifteen, that a lot of criticisms about him and only came aboard once it was clear that he was the overwhelming favorite we saw Vaughn over the weekend. Dueling rallies both
prompt and my pants
arizona, and one
lot bigger than the other. Give us your assessment as terms of what you saw. What does it mean right now about? This
split in the republican party, and I think you know
The extension of charlie's boy he's not silent in a year and a half later. You know that
rally came less than twenty four hours after this final public hearing and
you don't hear a former president up there denying that he did nothing over the course of more than three hours
the violence during january six,
I hear him denying that he pressured former vice president mike pence to not certify the election. You didn't hear him denying that he plays phone calls to members of congress who object to the results, were the place
calls, including two local officials in arizona there is no denial. The one thing he did die, I should note, is that he threw food. The other part of his speech, though he was trying to undercut the reputations of
the hutchinson of Sarah Matthews he was.
putting more questions out into the either and at that
away there, he was making himself the martyr
this is a man who, yes, just an hour.

campaigning painting is setting himself up is a martyr for the report,

of distraction, to say the least. Well I mean talk about turbocharging, the democratic electorate.
And really ensuring record turn out of democrats. If you have donald trump pudding himself out there as a twenty twenty four contender specific with arizona, I'm fascinated by the Senate race there and how it's going to play out with
winning wings of the republicans battling? You have the whack republic
And then you have you no more of the moderate Mccain republican wing, and then you ve got the progressives who were fighting with moderate democrats too, and so how do you say that senate primary and eventual sinnott race play now? You know it's interesting, a light. The governors railleries were paying so much attention to it is because

to guarantee the robes and in the senate? Brace they're, not

mark Kelly, come november, with the litmus test of receiving trump support being, whether or not you believe the twenty twenty election was up and up
from arizona to florida. Top republicans flocked to the sunshine state over the weekend for two major conferences. On friday, the statue beheld its annual sunshine summit headline by flora, governor and presume twenty twenty four presidential candidate, rhonda santas online

is just about never been a person treated like is charlie.
I am disappointed that you didn't have an entrance like that for today show with smoke sparkles and sore, maybe fire, but setting that aside will do better
next time there is
give us your take on just where things are about trump and how continued backward looking, but yet seemingly embraced by the vast majority of the body
Well, he I regret that. I don't get that kind of an introduction as as as well looking at. One of the big questions is the republican party has a collective action problem. Everybody seems to be looking at everybody else, like you're, going to do something about this right, you're, not gonna. Let this happen again right. We don't want to be the one who's going to throw yourself. On the political hand, grenade like like Liz cheney did so I you know, I mean there's a lot of focus on whether you know ronda santas will run and whether he'd be able to take him. On I mean there are some polls suggesting that he might be competitive but he's competitive and a one to one race? What is
In fact we have a replay of twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen, where you have all of these candidates in the rays and ultra may not be we always popular as you once was, but
he could run the table with a kind of numbers that he has, and I think what you saw in floored and in arizona, though, is this continuum, and the republican party were donald. Trump is not just embracing magnetism think about
people that is associating with on the continual minutes along continuum in conservative republican politics. These days, Donald trump is associated with
the craziest possible, and you know it. It extremes out here when you're talking about curie lake when you're talking about Wendy rogers when you're talking about going down to that tp usa, that he is demanding fealty to the most extreme aspects of maga, ism and obviously going down and speaking to a group of young people for nearly two hours and venting his grievances is a pretty good window over
republicans might face over the next two years. So I guess the question is: is there's a lot of talk behind the scenes among the donor class and among the elected officials? Can we move on from donald trump, but who's going to do it, and I have to
that, I think, is very unlikely that my friends is gonna win. The republican nomination is wrong. The sand is actually going to pull the trigger on all of this. Knowing what a scorched earth campaign it will be minimal,
look after themselves. Miss anybody think that donald trump would accept a defeat in report
in primaries any more than he would accept the defeat in a general election, and what would that look like that filters
trump to trump that he is demanding has led to some senate candidates, which many of the jew appear starting to nervous or become nervous that they may not grab this upper chamber like they had fought

Then you know where we are we're, where we were the other one of the big piece of news over the weekend was the solent sky interview with the wall street journal and what he said.
Quickly said was. We are not interested in a cease fire. We
interested in any situation that gives a pause, so the russians can rebuild why they sit on our lands and rebuild militarily.
That was really interesting. It showed essentially that were open,
diplomacy, obviously, but not diplomacy, that hurt us and helps the russians yeah on that point
either. We, though, we're down here at the end of July before we know it winter will be here, and there is a real sense. You, a special eyesight, speak to say that there will be this pause for six weeks.
It's two months whatever it might be, where there won't be able to be much fighting because of the conditions, and the fear is if the russians have whatever territory they have. At that moment, they're probably gonna be able to keep so. The clock is ticking sure.
I think this likely to happen anyhow cost both sides are going to have troubled sustaining this level of intensity. So I think you'll have this open ended war going into the russia, but the ends

That's what I wanted to ask you about. Are we just looking at a long term? Insurgency in these contested areas, if presents a landscape, doesn't want to concede any territory, and then Vladimir putin doesn't show any signs of slowing down his assault. Then
Is this just going to be an ongoing conflict without resolution, where the west is
feeling
it's been in arms and then also russia is able to reconstitute their forces to the russians may have some trouble, not clear where they're going to get the help from that's the one area where the sanctions might be making a difference. But the short answer to your question is: yes, look
there's been going on since twenty fourteen. This is not so much a new war but chapter two of an existing work and what you can
is actually a conventional war with military on military engagements, but that that, as you suggest in some areas, you could have more of an insurance it.

climate change and the problem is we're talking about climate change, while climate change is getting worse and worse
mystically here we just recently had a set of decisions.
I thought you just talked about the legislation that didn't pass. The supreme court decision hobbling the administration's ability to regulate through the e p a what's happening nationally and internationally around the world as we're falling farther behind, and
increasingly don't think the politics or diplomacy are going to deliver answers and I think we're going to have to maybe start hoping that technology gives us certain breakthroughs. We're going to have to spend a lot more money on adapting to the rest,
or to the goal of climate change, but this is one of the most frightening things out there, and here it is
when the third decade of the century,
possible, but I think even likely that before this century- and this will be the defining issue-
the euro. It will create tends in tens of millions of not hundreds of millions of refugees. It'll effect. The
adequacy of food, and it will affect disease. It will affect lifestyles. We
getting a hint and it's not just the future.
Its increasingly now and the end
equality of the political response nationally and internationally to me is one of the most stunning features of the moment, and then there were had been a sense. Also present tromp pulled out of the paris climate change a treaty and that there is sense that you asked was going back on board eddie to be a leader on climate change, one
Joe Biden took office and, but is really just pointed out. Its knocked its members of his own party have sabotage that effort, as well as the supreme court, which were guided what the epa can do,
how
how does this change? How does the political will catch up to his richard says what will be over the next decades, our century,
almost certainly be defining issue for our present and future. Absolutely we have to begin to identify the oversized role of the fossil fuel industry and our politics we have to
identify, find and criticise our only diction to fossil fuels, drumming just a
and the new york times today they republic of congo is now going to
auction off
parts of its rainforest. Five hundred million dollars going to go into their coffers because they're going to all auction off the rainforest that sucks up the carbon that helps us live, and so, unless we begin to understand the stakes, we're
definitely in peril. No, I did this logic
we can do we can use
agreements to tax. You stop me
the cold or going across international lines. We can try to preserve their the rainforest nuclear power. Why
Is there no serious debate in this country and around the world about expanding the use of nuclear power? It does not admit any greenhouse gases. The
Consistency here
is just marking and we're gonna have to live with fossil fuels for decades, but all fossil fuels are not equal
Should I ask is not the same as asked? Call we're gonna need
fossil fuel transition there so much that can be done in their so much that is being done. This is this is really one of them to me.
Baffling
it's issues out there and I think everyone says well it's up to the other guy.
you gotta, do something we're not going to do it ourselves and even if we do it ourselves, it's not going to be enough, but in the future

The alarm of everybody, irrational baseball hall of fame, welcomed seven new members yesterday, including that guy
and read size great david ortiz poppy sharing those parting words with some thirty five thousand
baseball fans gathered in coopers town upstate york,
team on the strength of a twenty year, career that included five hundred and forty one home runs and three world series. Titles become
the first clear, doesn't it hit her to be conducted in his first year on the hall of fame valley,
David Ortiz, the most part,
will a person in my house, among my two children, way ahead of me, richard ass. It is can't be overstated. What he did the city boston? They actually had an eighty six year, red sox. Eighty six, your chance, you drop the combat against your near
and to those for which ortiz led change that, but this law, where you're I'm having a chance to be classic even of Iraq's bomber fans, even though to Ortiz, was undoubtedly a yankee tormentor during his career, a great and
so for the game and incredible clutch hitter and a well deserving hall of fame. The screen,
I I watch again even for yankee fan. He brought joy to the game
class, unjust, unbelievable talent. I also that gill haunches, finally,
Well, the brooklyn dodgers getting into the little hall of fame one of the great first baseman in major league history. Yesterday was a great day. You looked at. People got in many minnows, so Jim caught. It was an amazing day. Yesterday of a real talent, be a real celebration of the sport and ortiz, certainly that smile lighting up the proceedings, but richard here's your turn to gloat, because, while red sox fans kept an eye on poppy and cooperstown boy, the team currently playing not so great, the defensive struggles continued for the red sox they got swept by the blue jays. This weekend they lost eighty four yesterday. This was a three game set mind you that started with a toronto victory on friday by the final score of twenty eight to five
you heard that right he was twenty. Eight to five, the blue jays almost set a record for most runs in a game. The red sox have now slipped to force in the american league east, just a half game ahead of the once lowly orioles baltimore was held at bay over the weekend by the division leading yankees. Here's aaron, judge slugging his league leading thirty seventh home run and yesterday six, nothing victory. That seems to be a daily occurrence. That is well, that's not great richard.
My perspective. But here golf, so you were classy about poppy. Should I get to regulate yankees playing rights, twenty eight to five
this, your red sox gotta, feel go on a safe in the eyes and arrested yankees
judge is gonna, be them
expensive player and baseball for the august for not having signed them up is he's having unbelievable season ahead. A mickey mantles pace on
on home runs your neck
the first. But those hang in there an houston yank. My keys have a problem which is they can't beat use them.
and I worry about that yeah. I agree on the astor, as it should be noted. The yankees fed remarkably good health to this point. The season they ve lost couple arms, the bull penalty, Severin us out for a while and the asteroids are not going away rigid ass.
