>> Donald Trump as you all know, is not a fan of the January 6th Commission.
Looking into the events of January 6th they're of course investigating it and
are now looking to potentially interview Donald trump's kids.
Individuals who are very much involved in the White House.
We're talking Ivanka trump, we're talking possibly Don Jr and here's what we know.
The committee asked Ivanka to sit down with them for an interview.
She hasn't been subpoenaed yet.
She was the top adviser to her father when he was president and supposedly
implored her dad to call off the violence on the day of the capitol riots.
The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th
riot requested that Ivanka trump speak to lawmakers,
saying in a letter that they would like to discuss conversations she had witnessed or
participated in relating to the president's plan to obstruct or
impede the counting of electoral votes among other areas of interest.
By the way, the committee also subpoenaed and
obtained phone records associated with Eric Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle.
That's Don Junior's fiance.
And of course former advisor to Donald Trump as well, but of course trump,
loves to cry and he's crying about all of this which isn't surprising.
What is a little bit surprising is that he tends to think of his children as
literal children in a statement to the Washington examiner Trump said this,
it's a very unfair situation for my Children.
Very, very unfair.
The January six panel is using whatever powers they have.
They couldn't care less.
They are vicious people.
It's a disgrace what's going on.
They're using these things to try to get people's minds off how incompetently our
country is being run and they don't care, they'll go after children.
So let's just just remind you all of the Children that he's talking about here,
starting with Eric Trump who is 38 years old,
Ivanka trump who's 40 years old And Don Jr who is 44 years old.
So the whole thing about going after children
if the January 6th panel was like yo where where's Baron?
We wanna do an interview with Baron.
Baron didn't serve in the White House.
He's literally a child and that would be ridiculous.
I'd be the first one to say don't do that, it's a bad idea.
We're talking about adults who served in the Trump White House in some capacity and
also engaged in communications either leading up to January 6th or
on the day that the riots were taking place.
So it's just two infantilized them like this is ridiculous but
Trump himself as a baby.
So I guess we shouldn't be surprised, I don't know.
Francesca what do you make of it?
>> Woman, children I don't know they act like kids, they've silver spoon kids.
So the one thing I'll say in trump's defense here is that he's doing
one better than Logan Roy, right?
Don't you feel like he's at least kind of standing up for his kids.
The children, think of the children.
So I feel even Logan Roy wouldn't stick his neck out that far.
But we will see how he's okay just not just not Ivanka take Eric,
take Tiffany Tiffany's got stories, Tiffany doesn't have any stories,
you didn't let her anywhere near the halls of power.
>> That's true.
He did her a favor though and look I I disagree.
>> Exactly.
>> I think Logan Roy would definitely defend his kids if it
somehow benefited him, right?
We're talking about like fictional characters in succession.
>> Yeah they're real.
>> Yeah, I mean kind of, but Trump of course is concerned about his own ass,
which is why he doesn't want them to be interviewed.
Eric Trump actually had answered some questions with you know,
invoking the fifth of his, I plead the fifth, basically he didn't answer
a single question but there's another part to this story that I thought was
really funny I was gonna say fantastic because it's just so entertaining.
S apparently Michael Cohen has confirmed the favoritism
that Trump has toward one of his children, Ivanka Trump.
Apparently he had admitted that trump had specifically told him in the past that if
any of his kids had to go to prison by the way, little interesting that they were
even having this conversation in the first place.
But if any of his children had to go to prison,
there's one that he would want to prevent from having to do that.
So let's watch what Michael Cohen had to say and we'll discuss.
>> And here's a question where Donald trump himself ever offered to cooperate to
shield his daughter from any potential legal troubles.
Not a chance.
You may recall that there was the district Attorney's case here for
Trump Soho where it was either Don or Ivanka was in very big trouble
as a result of lying about the number of units that had been sold.
And Donald said it to me.
I mean, I wouldn't say it if it wasn't said directly to me.
He goes, if one or the other have to go to prison, make sure that it's Don,
because Don would be able to handle it.
I mean, that should automatically give you an idea in terms of how he thinks.
But Donald cares only about Donald more than he would care about his children.
>> That is the most, yeah, that is, I just think it's demonstrably true that last
part, but like Donald only cares about himself, not about his children.
Yeah, of course it's so clear.
I wonder if he has to choose between his own ass and Ivanka though,
that might get a little tricky but.
>> Don't say Ivanka's ass Trump choosing between his ass and
Ivanka's ass it's just too much of what he wants to hear.
I've thought about Ivanka's as and
if I had to choose between us like nobody asked you sir, nobody.
>> Have you seen her ass?
[CROSSTALK] >> Take Don Junior's as very flat.
>> Very funky.
He's not he's not working out he's not.
>> Maybe he can go to prison, do some squats.
>> That's amazing.
>> But it's just so funny that he's so
clear who he wants to throw under the bus immediately.
Again back to succession, It is very Kendall Roy John and I were talking about
that earlier today but I don't know Donald Trump Jr has been just doing weird
like his own dad impression maybe drunk, maybe high on a little cocaine.
I don't know what it is but the guy's not well so
the idea that he would be able to handle prison, I don't know.
I think Ivanka would be able to handle prison better than Don JR and
I think Ivanka would elicit way more sympathy because white girl
sympathy is unlike any sympathy that exists in the whole wide world.
It is a special place.
>> Let's just be clear about something, none of them could handle prison.
Assuming we're talking about actual prison and not Martha Stewart prison, right?
And to be fair, I mean Martha Stewart was imprisoned for
insider trading, which members of Congress do all day every day.
And then you've got House speaker Nancy, Pelosi essentially defending it.
But putting that aside, no, they would all crumble in prison, in real prison.
And look, based on what we are hearing from the panel investigating January 6th,
it doesn't seem like Ivanka trump is implicated in that mess.
It seems like all we've heard about her is that she hit her dad up.
It was like, yo you need to end this, this is a this is a bad look,
I don't like it, right?
But hen it comes to the rhetoric that we heard from Don JR even till this day,
just like nonstop incitements, nonstop lies about how the election
was stolen from his father, they know what they're doing.
They know they're riling their base up there, persuading people that
the election was somehow stolen from their father, even in situations
where you look at the officials who got elected statewide and its Republican.
But looks like Trump lost in that state, mostly because of his handling of COVID.
it's just like this inability and unwillingness to live in reality and
accept defeat except that trump lost.
It's just really dangerous, irresponsible.
And now we unfortunately even have NFL stars regurgitating nonsense about
the election, which we'll get to a little later with Aaron Rodgers, but
here's where we're at.
>> The last thing I'll say is I keep on thinking all right,
well if someone's in prison, can they still run for president?
The answer is yes.
Somehow yes, there is nothing in the constitution that prevents
you from while in prison still running for president there.
They're like, it's politically bad.
But no, it's not politically bad because politically we live in hell and
everyone would love that if Trump were somehow one and
he had like a Nelson Mandela moment and
they couldn't pretend like he was anything like nelson Mandela, they would love that.
So even the best case scenario is still awful and I apologize because I
know we're trying to be a little bit lighthearted with this one.
So I always come back to that he could still win the presidency from jail.
>> That is pretty terrifying.
But don't worry folks, he's not gonna spend any time in jail.
Well, what do you think?
What do you think is gonna happen?
The democrats are gonna the DOJ.
>> Eric trump.
>> Maybe there's a possibility, but I I don't even think that's going to happen.
I mean, George W Bush and Dick Cheney committed literal war crimes and
democrats did nothing when they had a super majority in Congress and
Obama as president.
Trust me, Trump will be fine
