already in the georgia probe, you know, georgia prosecutors have already subpoenaed and gotting senator graham to testify. and yet still that proceeding has not actually resulted in any real accountability for some of the higher up political officials who are behind the ins gagss to pervert legal processes to do what the rioters were doing, interfering with the transition of power. so it's frustrating to watch the disparity in the lower level prosecutions, while seeing the political officials using political and perverted legal means accomplish the same end, and largely skate by with no accountability thus far. >> and you know, bill, i have to ask you, because to your well-taken point, maybe accountability, it means different things to different people. but why is it the fact that the only people that are doing the time for the crime are the lower level participants? why is it, though, that they continue to pledge allegiance to the cult of trump? >> i mean, some don't. i do think there's been a deterrent effect of convicting a lot of these lower level people. there have not been those kind of

when lindsey graham and republicans present it, he will sign it. how do you really make that case so people understand exactly what is at stake here? >> i think that is such an important question. we also have to look at the fact that there is absolutely no accountability. we are seeing both at the state level and from former president trump that they are saying this is bad, this is a mistake. look at arizona, and he does great example that this is a band that has gone too far. there's no accountability at all. there's no are okay, what i did resulted in this and this is a problem. we are seeing that on the state level. we have a representative who has tried to flip flop and saying he was going to vote with the democrats on this repeal but he sponsored five fetal personhood bills in the last session here that would have eliminated abortion, also impacted in vitro fertilization. we have to look honestly at their records. we have decades of these lawmakers telling us what they are going to do. we have to understand that that is the reality, that is t

there are some like barr, lindsey graham the list goes on and on have been wishy washy and now they support donald trump the base of the party is a maga basement but the reality is there are a lot of republicans who question donald trump and my question to them are you then going to vote for joe biden? because that is your only other option if you are concerned about this person that you were concerned with when he was in office and out of office you are as well. it's interesting that you see folks like barr endorsing the republican ticket. i will say i don't think that their endorsement is persuading the republican base, remember donald trump has gone off about them and called them rhinos and all that. >> what percentage of republicans do you think will jump to joe biden? >> i will be very frank and tell you i don't think that many. i didn't vote in 2020 for biden thinking i would do it again this year and now i'm right in with biden again. this is the moment which you say what is more important? democracy or preserving norms or demand. and many people think they are creating permission st

a 15-week federal ban with exceptions, what lindsay graham is proposing? >> i'm not advocating anything at this level. i think it's going to be sorted out all across the country and be very different in different states. so you don't think a federal ban is likely? you think it's possible. >> i don't think any federal legislation is likely to get 60 votes in the senate on any direction. >> when i talk to advocates, they say they want clarity from the republican party on this issue. should the republican party take a stance on whether it supports a federal ban? >> at the risk of being redundant, it seems to me views about this issue at the state level vary, depending where you are. and we get elected by states, and my members are smart enough to figure out how they want to deal with this very divisive issue based upon the people who actually send them here. >> let's talk about what's going on at the supreme court this week. in 2021, you voted to acquit donald trump in his second impeachment, saying on the senate floor, quote, we have a criminal justice syste
