00:38

BIG WEEK SURROUNDING FORMER

00:39

PRESIDENT TRUMP.

00:41

LET'S START WITH THE SUPREME

00:42

COURT.

00:43

THE JUSTICES ARGUE ABOUT TRUMP'S

00:46

POTENTIAL COMMUNITY.

00:47

WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM THE

00:48

ARGUMENTS?

00:50

>> A LOT OF COMMENTARY ON THE

00:51

FACT THAT THE MORE CONSERVATIVE

00:53

JUSTICES DID NOT SEEM INTERESTED

00:54

IN DONALD TRUMP.

00:56

THEY WERE INTERESTED IN THE

00:58

PRECEDENT.

00:59

I FIND IT INTELLECTUALLY

01:01

INTERESTING, BUT IT WAS A LITTLE

01:02

WEIRD THAT TRUMP WAS BARELY

01:04

MENTIONED IN SOME CASES.

01:07

NORMALLY, YOU WOULD SAY A

01:08

PRESIDENT IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW,

01:09

OF COURSE.

01:11

BUT, IF YOU LOOK AT DEMOCRACIES

01:13

IN DECLINE, THEN IT IS A PATTERN

01:15

THAT PEOPLE IN OFFICE USE THEIR

01:19

POWER TO THROW IN JAIL THE

01:21

PEOPLE WHO ARE IN OFFICE BEFORE

01:22

THEM OF THE OPPOSING PARTY.

01:23

SO, WE ARE IN A DEMOCRACY IN

01:25

DECLINE.

01:27

SO, IT DOES MAKE YOU THINK,

01:28

WELL, IF THE REPUBLICANS WERE TO

01:31

TRY TO INDICT MAYORKAS AND

01:34

IMPEACH HIM, MAYBE THERE SHOULD

01:37

BE SOME PROTECTIONS AGAINST

01:38

THAT.

01:39

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU WOULD

01:40

DRAW THE LINE BETWEEN THOSE

01:42

PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS WHICH ARE

01:42

IMMUNE TO INDICTMENTS AND THOSE

01:45

THAT ARE NOT.

01:47

IN A DEMOCRACY IN DECLINE, YOU

01:48

HAVE TO THINK ABOUT BUILDING

01:50

MORE GUARDRAILS SO WE DON'T

01:52

START CRIMINALIZING.

01:54

JONATHAN: THE FIRST THING WE CAN

01:56

DO AS AN AMERICAN ELECTORATE IS

01:58

NO LONGER ELECT SOMEONE WHO

02:00

WOULD CRASH THROUGH THE

02:01

GUARDRAILS, AND ELECTING OTHER

02:03

PEOPLE WHO WOULD ENABLE THAT

02:05

PERSON TO CRASH TO THE

02:06

GUARDRAILS.

02:07

I AGREE WITH DAVID.

02:09

THE IDEA THAT THE SUPREME COURT

02:12

COULD POSSIBLY HANDOUT A RULING

02:13

THAT WOULD FORCE THE JUDGE TO GO

02:16

THROUGH THE COUNTS AND FIGURE

02:18

OUT WHETHER PRIVATE -- WHAT ARE

02:19

PRIVATE ACTS AND OFFICIAL ACTS

02:23

TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE FORMER

02:23

PRESIDENT IS IMMUNE IS INSANE.

02:25

THIS COUNTRY IS ALMOST 250 YEARS

02:30

OLD, IF MY MATH IS RIGHT.

02:33

PULLING UNTIL THE ELECTION OF

02:33

DONALD TRUMP HAVE WE EVER HAD TO

02:37

EVEN CONTEMPLATE THIS QUESTION.

02:38

UNTIL WE STOP ELECTING CHIEF

02:40

EXECUTIVES WHO LACK THIS SHAME

02:43

GENE, YEAH, MAYBE WE WILL HAVE

02:47

TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

02:49

BUT, THE FACT THAT WE ARE HERE

02:51

IS, IT IS REALLY DISTURBING.

02:54

AND LISTENING TO THE QUESTIONING

02:55

BACK AND FORTH MAYBE WONDER

02:56

WHETHER THE SUPREME COURT, DO

02:59

THEY REALLY WANT TO SQUANDER

03:01

THEIR PUBLIC STANDING SUCH HEAD

03:03

AS IT IS -- AS IT IS THAT

03:07

EVERYONE WILL LOOK AT AND SAY

03:08

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

03:09

AMNA: DO YOU THINK WE WILL GET A

03:11

CLEAR ANSWER FROM THEM OF THIS?

03:12

JONATHAN: I DON'T THINK SO.

03:14

DAVID: I DON'T THINK SO EITHER.

03:16

AMNA: MOVING ON THEN.

03:19

THERE ARE A FEW OTHER CASES I

03:21

WANT TO GET YOUR TAKES ON AS

03:23

WELL BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY

03:23

DIFFERENT.

03:25

THEY BOTH INVOLVE FORMER

03:26

PRESIDENT TRUMP.

03:26

IN NEW YORK, THERE'S A HUSH

03:28

MONEY TRIAL THAT IS CONTINUING

03:30

RELATED TO THE PAYMENT HE MADE

03:32

TO AN ADULT ACTRESS IN 2016.

03:35

WE ARE TESTIMONY FROM A TABLOID

03:58

DID EITHER OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS

04:00

CHANGE LANDSCAPE?

04:01

DAVID: I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE

04:04

CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE FOR HIM.

04:05

I WAS MORBIDLY FASCINATED BY THE

04:08

TABLOID PUBLISHER'S TESTIMONY.

04:10

THAT IS NOT THE WAY WE DO

04:11

TESTIMONY.

04:12

PAYING PEOPLE HUSH MONEY TO BURY

04:15

STORIES, IT IS LIKE A MORAL

04:18

NETHERWORLD THAT TRUMP ENTERED.

04:20

I WAS ONCE IN THE 1980'S INVITED

04:22

TO A PARTY, THE OPENING OF

04:26

TRUMP PLAZA.

04:28

I LOOK AROUND THE ROOM, IT IS

04:30

ALL THE PEOPLE YOU THINK ARE

04:31

CORRUPT.

04:32

A BUDDY OF MINE GOES UP TO ME

04:33

AND SAYS NOT INDICTED, NOT

04:36

INVITED.

04:39

WE ARE REALLY ENTERING A

04:39

DIFFERENT LAYER OF NEW YORK THAT

04:41

I WAS USED TO.

04:42

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE CONFRONTING

04:44

AND HAVE BEEN FOR A BUNCH OF

04:45

YEARS.

04:45

AMNA: JONATHAN?

04:47

JONATHAN: THE TESTIMONY OF DAVID

04:50

PECKER WAS FASCINATING.

04:53

I LIVED AND WORKED IN NEW YORK

04:54

FOR 16 YEARS.

04:55

I WORKED AT THE DAILY NEWS SO

04:58

THE NEW YORK POST WAS A

04:58

COMPETITOR.

04:59

I KNOW THIS WORLD.

05:00

DAVID PECKER IS NOT FOREIGN TO

05:03

ME.

05:05

WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IS NOT

05:06

FOREIGN TO ME, BUT I THINK FOR

05:08

THE LARGER PUBLIC, TO HEAR WHAT

05:10

REALLY GOES ON, PARTICULARLY

05:12

WITH THAT KIND OF TABLOID

05:13

NEWSPAPER I THINK IS

05:14

FASCINATING.

05:15

ALSO, LET'S NOT FORGET, WE ARE

05:18

TALKING ABOUT A FORMER PRESIDENT

05:19

WHO IS IN COURT OVER HUSH-MONEY

05:24

THIS GUY IS GOING TO -- HAS BEEN

05:36

SPENDING MORE TIME IN COURT THAN

05:38

ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO RUN FOR

05:39

REELECTION.

05:41

I THINK WHAT MAKES THIS WEEK AND

05:43

THIS CASE SO FASCINATING IS THAT

05:45

WE ARE WATCHING THIS GUY BE HELD

05:48

ACCOUNTABLE FOR AT LEAST A

05:48

SLIVER OF WHAT HE HAS ALLEGEDLY

05:51

DONE.

05:51

AMNA: IN THE NEW YORK CASE, HE

05:54

IS NOW VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER A

05:56

TOTAL OF 15 TIMES.

05:57

JONATHAN: AND COUNTING.

05:59

AMNA: IS THERE ANY WAY FOR

06:02

PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE REIGNED IN

06:03

ON THAT FRONT?

06:05

DAVID: I THINK HIS ENTIRE

06:07

ADMINISTRATION TRIED TO DO THAT

06:09

FOR FOUR YEARS AND IT DIDN'T

06:10

WORK.

06:10

JONATHAN: NO.

06:11

AMNA: I NEED TO ASK YOU ABOUT

TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT SOMETHING,

06:19

IT GETS ANNOUNCED ON A FRIDAY

06:20

AFTERNOON.

06:21

WE DID HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

06:23

THEY ARE DELAYING THEIR

06:24

DECISION, THEIR PLANS TO BAN

06:28

MENTHOL CIGARETTES.

06:29

WE KNOW THAT IS KNOWN FOR ITS

06:31

APPEAL TOWARDS BLACK SMOKERS.

06:35

81% OF BLACK SMOKERS SMOKE

06:37

MENTHOL CIGARETTES.

06:39

THIS IS SOMETHING THE FDA HAS

06:39

BEEN PUSHING FOR YEARS NOW.

06:42

THEY FAILED TO GET IT ACROSS THE

06:43

FINISH LINE.

06:44

WHY DO YOU THINK THE BIDEN

06:45

ADMINISTRATION DECIDED TO DO

06:46

THIS NOW?

06:46

DAVID: I HOPE IT WAS OUT OF A

06:50

SENSE OF SOME SENSE THAT ADULTS

06:52

CAN MAKE UP THEIR OWN MIND.

06:54

I FRANKLY HAD THE REACTION THE

06:56

WAY MICHAEL BLOOMBERG IN NEW

06:57

YORK TRIED TO BAN THE BIG GULP

06:59

SODAS.

07:01

I HAVE SEEN THE STUDIES ON THE

07:02

MENTHOL CIGARETTES.

07:04

THE FBI SAYS A LOT FEWER PEOPLE

07:05

07:07

AT SOME POINT, WE ARE DEMOCRACY

LIKE ADULTS.

07:13

EVERYONE KNOWS THIS STUFF IS

07:13

REALLY BAD FOR YOU AND PEOPLE

07:15

07:16

AMNA: JONATHAN, THERE HAS BEEN

07:20

ACCUSATIONS THAT THIS IS ABOUT

07:21

POLITICS AND IT COULD ALIENATE

07:24

BLACK VOTERS THAT PRESIDENT

BIDEN NEEDS.

07:25

JONATHAN: CIGARETTES ARE

07:28

ADDICTIVE AND MENTHOL IS

07:30

PARTICULARLY ADDICTIVE.

07:31

WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AN

07:33

ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE, AN

07:34

ADDICTIVE PRODUCT THAT HAS A

07:37

DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON

07:38

AFRICAN-AMERICANS, WELL,

07:42

SORRY, I LOOK AT THE FDA AND SAY

07:43

GOOD FOR YOU.

07:44

YOU SHOULD BE DOING THIS.

07:46

FOLKS SHOULD BE FORCED TO QUIT,

07:51

MEANING THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR

07:52

YOU.

07:53

THIS IS ABOUT ATTEMPTING TO SAVE

07:54

YOUR LIFE.

07:56

I MAYBE AGREE WITH YOU ON

07:58

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG AND THE BIG

07:59

GULP SODAS.

08:01

THE FIRST THING MIKE BLOOMBERG

08:02

DID WHEN HE WAS MAYOR OF NEW

08:04

YORK THAT PEOPLE STARTED

08:04

SCREAMING ABOUT THE NANNY STATE

08:07

WAS BANDING CIGARETTES IN

08:10

RESTAURANTS AND OUT EVERYONE

08:10

LOVES HIM FOR IT.

08:13

IF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS

08:14

TRYING TO PLAY POLITICS BY

08:16

DUMPING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT ON A

08:18

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FINE,

08:20

ELECTIONS ARE DECIDED ON THE

08:21

MARGINS.

08:22

BUT IN THE END, WHAT THE FDA IS

08:26

PROPOSING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

08:27

IT IS ABOUT SAVING LIVES.

08:30

AMNA: THE PRO-PALESTINIAN

08:35

PROTESTS, PROTESTING ISRAEL'S

08:36

WAR CONDUCT IN GAZA.

08:38

THEY HAVE SPREAD VERY QUICKLY.

08:40

THEY ARE SUSTAINING ON CAMPUSES.

08:43

SHOULD THESE BE A WARNING SIDE

08:44

TO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION?

08:46

DAVID: I HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATED

08:49

THAT PEOPLE ARE MAKING SOME

08:50

DISTINCTIONS HERE.

08:51

I THINK MOST OF THE PROTESTERS

08:53

ARE APPALLED BY THE HORRORS THE

08:56

PALESTINIANS ARE SUFFERING AND

08:58

WELL MOTIVATED BY COMPASSION.

08:59

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE

09:01

PROBABLY HARD LEFT PEOPLE, THEY

09:02

GET TO HAVE THEIR VIEWS.

09:04

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT

09:05

ARE ANTISEMITIC AND VIOLET.

09:07

YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SAY

09:09

THAT SCIENTISTS DO NOT DESERVE

09:11

TO LIVE.

09:11

IF YOU SAY THAT, THEY SHOULD BE

09:13

EXPELLED.

09:14

IF SOMEBODY SAYS SOMETHING LIKE

09:16

GO BACK TO POLAND, OR EVEN A

09:18

PRO-PALESTINIAN OR PRO

09:22

ISRAELI, GO BACK TO GAZA.

09:25

THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD BE EXPELLED.

09:27

THAT IS THE DISTINCTION THAT

09:28

SHOULD BE MADE.

09:28

THE PEOPLE ARE THREATENING THE

09:32

EXPELLED.

09:36

YOU NEED TO SEPARATE THE BAD

09:37

ACTORS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE

09:38

WELL MOTIVATED TO SAVE LIVES.

09:40

AS FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION,

09:42

I WORRY THAT CHICAGO CONVENTION

09:44

WILL LOOK A LOT LIKE 1968.

09:46

THAT WILL JUST BE TERRIBLE FOR

09:48

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

09:50

THE PRESIDENT LOOKS POWERLESS.

09:52

ONE FINAL THING I FOUND

09:53

INTERESTING.

09:54

HARVARD DOES THIS SURVEY WHAT

09:56

ARE YOUNG ADULTS INTERESTED IN?

09:57

ISRAEL GAZA IS 15 OUT OF 16.

10:02

A LOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW ARE

10:03

PASSIONATELY ON BOTH SIDES OF

10:04

THE ISSUE, BUT MOST YOUNG VOTERS

10:07

ARE INTERESTED IN INFLATION,

10:10

CRIME, HEALTH CARE, THE NORMAL

10:10

ISSUES.

10:12

IT IS ABOARD FOR US THAT ARE IN

10:15

EDUCATED CIRCLES NOT TO

10:16

GENERALIZE FROM OUR EXPERIENCE

10:18

BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK

10:18

ABOUT VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

10:20

JONATHAN: I AGREE WITH YOU,

10:22

DAVID.

10:23

I THINK THE DISCUSSION ABOUT

10:24

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THESE

10:27

PROTESTS IS MISSING A LOT OF

10:27

NUANCE.

10:29

NOT EVERYONE WHO IS PROTESTING

10:30

IS ANTI-SEMITIC, IS ROOTING FOR

10:32

VIOLENCE, OR EVEN CAUSING THE

10:35

VIOLENCE.

10:36

THEY ARE THERE FOR LEGITIMATE

10:37

REASONS.

10:37

I AGREE WITH DAVID.

10:39

IF THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY IS

10:41

DISRUPTING AND SAYING RACIST,

10:44

ANTI-SEMITIC THINGS, YES, THEY

10:46

SHOULD BE EXPELLED.

10:48

BUT WE ALSO SHOULD BE MINDFUL

10:50

THAT WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO

10:52

ARE SAYING THESE THINGS?

10:53

SOME MIGHT BE MEMBERS OF THE

10:54

UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE COMMUNITY,

10:57

BUT SOME COULD BE FROM THE

10:57

OUTSIDE.

10:58

MY BIG FEAR FROM THE BLM

11:01

MOVEMENT IS FOLKS FROM THE

11:02

OUTSIDE CAUSING VIOLENCE AND

11:04

THEN THE BLAME BEING HOISTED

11:07

UPON THE PEOPLE THAT ARE

11:07

LEGITIMATELY PROTESTING.

11:09

THAT IS MY BIG CONCERN WHEN WE

11:10

TALK ABOUT THIS LATEST NATIONAL

11:12

PROTEST.

11:13

AMNA: HERE IS TO NUANCE AND

11:16

FACTS.

11:17

THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU FOR

11:20

BRINGING THOSE TO THE TABLE

11:21

ALWAYS.

11:22

ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

11:23

>> THANKS.
