>> i'll see you back here next saturday at 8:00 a.m. eastern summer cottage starts right now tension between the us and israel over the war with hamas on michael smerconish in philadelphia on friday, the biden administration said that it is reasonable to assess that us weapons have been used by israeli forces in gaza in ways that are inconsistent with international humanitarian law. >> but they stopped short of officially saying that israel violated that law. the report drafted by the state department said investigations are ongoing, but that the us does not have complete information this followed israel's security cabinet approval of an expansion of the area of operation of the shelling in rafah after president joe biden threatened to withhold us weapons if israel were to carry out an all-out offensive in that city, the increased military operation in rafah has put ceasefire for hostage talks on pause to us officials told

cnn all of this follows a turning point in us, israel relations this week when president biden is previously unwavering public support began to waver the highly visible pro-palestinian campus protests have been threatening to splinter biden's fragile democratic coalition in a sit-down interview with cnn as erin burnett, biden threatened to halt some weapons shipments. the first significant conditioning of us military aid to israel since the start of the war. but israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that to avenge hamas's october 7 terror attacks, quote, if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone. i have said and that if necessary, we will fight with our fingernails, joining me now to discuss his thomas al friedman is a three-time pulitzer prize winning columnist for the new york times, where his latest piece just out is titled biden's real mistake in pausing military aid to israel. and his many bestsellers include the national book award winner from they route to jerusalem, which

has a new audio forward. tom always great when you're here, what will be the impact of this state department report that said israel most likely fail to protect civilians in gaza, but did not find specific instances. >> gosh, michael, i don't think it's going to have much impact whatsoever. i think what matters is what's happening on the ground right now, particularly in and around the rafah and around the limited embargo that president biden has imposed on israel to drive home. the point that if it's going to go into rafah, it has to do so in a way that simply does not cause mass civilian casualties as its entrance into gaza city and khan younis have so in your most recent posting for the times on that subject, here's part of what you wrote. you said netanyahu's policies have not will not produce a sustainable victory in gaza, cannot secure israel against his greatest existential

threat. iran. and our endangering world jewry and undermining america's broader middle east strategic needs and goals. so what should israel be doing then about hamas still in rafah so it really, we have to start at 30,000 feet. >> michael and that is my belief that if israel decide that it had to go into gaza for strategic and moral reasons to dismantle hamas the only way it could do it is if it had three things, it needed time it needed resources, and it needed legitimacy because given the fact that hamas and buried itself and its tunnels under a civilian population, there were always going to be heavy civilian casualties no matter what now, what that meant is from the very beginning, israel had to be seen as at war with hamas with the palestinian

people. that was central. and for that to happen, it needed to have a palestinian partner. it needed fail to say to the world to itself, to gazans, we want to dismantle hamas, but we want to replace them with a, with the palestinian authority in the west bank, which is embraced the oslo peace process. instead, what netanyahu did was say, we're going to war against hamas, and we're going to stay at war with the pa. so we have with the palestinian authority's, so we have no palestinian partner message to the world. we're not at war just well were at war with the palestinian people. and because of that, israel has not had the legitimacy it needed for this kind of war president biden's response, and i made reference to it in your introduction was to have a sit down with erin burnett and to threaten the pause of additional weapons in this most recent column of yours, you question that approach. >> it seems like you think there needs to be more fraud policy statement offered by the white house? what would your

counsel be how should president biden be using his leverage with netanyahu i would have loved to see him actually give a full blown speech, basically saying, here's why we're doing this. >> weapons pause. >> but it's in a much broader context you, israel are fighting a war with diminishing actually with virtually no anymore legitimacy because it's award that is perceived as being a war against the palestinian people. >> you can't be at war with hamas in gaza. and then be pursuing and reinforcing an occupation in the west bank that that just doesn't work. you've got to have a palestinian partner, a palestinian partner for you as key first first of all, to be able to say to the world, we are going to remove hamas, but we're going to replace it with a legitimate decent palestinian government. it's the key to having a regional leinz that you need against iran because israel's moderate air partners are not going to sign on to

protect israel if it's perceived as trying to destroy the palestinian people and not just hamas, if israel had a partner with a pa that would make it much easier for uae, jordan, egypt, saudi arabia, to partner with israel against iran it's palestinian partners stupid. it's the keystone to everything. if israel does not have that michael, it has no exit strategy for gaza. it has no way of building a regional alliance against iran. it has no plan for the morning after it will have no international legitimacy the subject of future governance has been a consistent concern of thomas friedman since ten, seven. here's what most recently you wrote on it. together, about 7 million israeli jews would be permanently controlling about 5 million palestinian arabs in to occupied territories, which would be a moral, economic, and military overstretch that would delight iran because it would hasten israel's descent into

being a global pariah. my question is it too late for a deal with the saudis that which had been in the works up until ten, seven wasn't important question, michael and the saudi deal has two components. it has an american saudi component that revolves around a mutual security treaty, a civilian nuclear program, and weapons transfers. but to get that us saudi component passed by the us congress to facilitate that saudi arabia actually offered to know normalized relations with israel, provided israel would provide some kind of horizon or pathway to a two-state solution for palestinians netanyahu's government is refusing to do that. so the administration, while tying up the saudi deal, is now trying to figure out do they do they take them limited deal to congress and try to get it through where they promised from salary we did that it would normalize with israel if and when israeli government came along ready to do that, or does this just scotch the whole deal? i think that's all in discussion right now.

>> final question. i want to put polling data from american youth on the screen. it raises the question of what thomas friedman thinks about the campus unrest. i don't know if you can see the screen, but take my word for it the issues that college students are most important, most concerned about coming in last ninth of nine, the conflict in the middle east, your last column said that the protests on campuses are getting something wrong. what's the takeaway you want to leave us with well, michaeli, if you're only condemning israeli violence against palestinians and you're ignoring what hamas did october 7, you're not morally serious. >> if if you're for a ceasefire now and not for a return of hostages now, you're not morally serious. it seems to me. >> and if you're not talking about a two-state solution, but you're talking about a palestinian state from the river to the sea. you're not morally serious there's only one solution who should here?

and that is two states for two indigenous people between the jordan river and the mediterranean. and if you're not for that, if you're not for ending the violence and for hostage release, if you're only condemning one side and not the other, you're not morally serious and you're not going to be at all productive and helpful because there's only one way out. two states for two people let me read aloud a social media reaction and see if tom wants to respond. >> go ahead, catherine, put it on the screen. i'll read it aloud. biden is making so many mistakes. it's disheartening tom friedman, you've written that he's the most pro-israel president that we've ever had defend that view well, joe biden was the first president to actually pick up and go to israel after this kind of violent attack from palestinians. >> he did everything to get it as israel, the military equipment needed he stood up to defend israel at the united

nations. >> but the problem for joe biden michael is he's actually a very decent, straightforward guy. >> he is not built to deal with a sinister, cynical character like benjamin netanyahu, who is ready to use america, ready to use biden to secure sure what his his top priority, the political survival of benjamin netanyahu, which he has put ahead of israel's national interest because israel's national interests is to have a palestinian partner and netanyahu refuses to do that because he's cabinet that he formed with a bunch of right-wing lunatics who refuse to consider for any kind of palestinian partner. and as long as that is the case, israel cannot win in gaza, it cannot win in the, it cannot win. and college campuses, it will not win tom friedman. thank you so much for coming back pleasure up ahead, depending on who you ask, the netflix roast of tom brady was

34 business records that prosecutors allege were falsified 11 invoices, 12 vouchers, 11 checks, which is why the indictment has 34 counts. the prosecution, despite saying that they would need he six-week to present their case. now, say they could wrap up next week, which will be the fourth week of testimony. so what's left former trump attorney michael cohen joining me now is cnn senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, elie honig. elie. okay. i'm convinced they convinced me. he wore the silk pajamas and he was not wearing something in else that perhaps he should have been wearing. but having sex with an adult film star that's not illegal nor is paying her for her silence. so where are we on the important matter of trump's intent? >> so michael, the key thing to keep in mind here, as you say, wearing silk pajamas, not a crime, having sex with a porn star, not a crime, paying a hush money, not a crime knowing about paying hush money, not a crime. >> the charge crime here is falsification of business records. and to that end, i think prosecutors have made

slow but steady progress, but they're not quite all the way he there yet. and the person who's going to need to get them all the way there is michael cohen and here's what i mean. i think it's quite clear based on the evidence we've seen so far, a that stormy daniels was paid $130,000 hush money. no question. be that donald trump was aware of that see that donald trump knew he was reimbursing michael cohen over the subsequent months. but what you have to show is that donald trump was in on a plan to falsify business records. let's set this up. let's structure the internal accounting on this to hide it, to make it look like legal fees as opposed to a hush money payment. that's where the prosecution hasn't quite driven at home. that's where the name michael cohen to deliver for them this week so perhaps you are now about to school me as a criminal litigator. my expertise is in the civil realm. lots of salacious information came in relative to stormy daniels. i don't understand it. and two times, judge merchan would not grant a mistrial, but in his second explanation, i'm going to put up on the screenhat was said

but it's sidebar. judge merchan two. here it is to blanche in your opening statement, you deny that there was ever a sexual encounter between stormy daniels end the defendant. your denial puts the jury in a position of having to choose who they believe donald trump, who did nice. there was an encounter or stormy daniels who claims that there was elie an opening statement is not evidence. is is it appropriate for judge merchan to say, well, in your opening, here's what you said therefore, you open the door so you're right. i think the statement by judge were sean is actually legally incorrect. >> the prosecution carries the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, always and forever. >> and for the judge to say this is going to come down to a contest of credibility before the before the jury who's telling the truth, stormy daniels or donald trump. that's just not correct. if donald trump doesn't take the stand and i don't think he will take the stand. it's not for the jury to say, well, who do i believe more? it's for the jury to say has the prosecution proved its case beyond a

reasonable doubt and only put that in another way to you. a lot of people who said, well, michael cohen, maybe he's a liar, but donald trump's ally or two. so what if the jury concludes they're both big fat liar? first of which might be the case. guess what? the verdict is not guilty. so i actually think the judge mistakes the burden of proof in that excerpt you just showed us okay. >> and you anticipated my next question because when judge more shawn talks about whose account do we believe stormy daniels or donald trump i think he's saying it's a case about sex. it's not a case about sex right? so this is a difficult line for prosecutors to walk here. i do think they needed to call stormy daniel's, not as a technical matter, but as a human matter as explaining the case to the jury, i think it would've been really conspicuous if they had not called stormy daniel's. now, when they got too deep, i think into the salacious details of the sex and the judge did sustain several objections from trump's team about the details. i guess the upside is the more details that stormy daniel's gives tends to make her more credible if she just said, well, i had sex with them

in a hotel room in 2006 and that's it. that's. not all that credible, but if she says, oh, i remember the magazine he was holding, i remember the pajamas. you tend to believe it more the downside for prosecutors though, is you get away from the ball, you get away from the ball game here, which is falsification of business records. and the more time you spent in silk pajamas and that hotel room, the more the jury may be wondering, wait a second. the charge here is a counting essentially, so why are we spending so much time in detail in this hotel room? it's a tough call for prosecutors think they were right to call stormy daniel's, but i think they went too far into the nuances of it. >> how much of this now rests on the shoulder, the successful prosecution, the rests on the shoulder of michael cohen i would say virtually all of it. >> michael and i want to say michael cohen has a unique witness, right? he has a history of lying, unlike any witness that i've ever seen, he has a personal hatred for donald trump beyond what i've ever seen from any witness taking the stand against a defendant may 2 days ago, he did a video where he's wearing

a goofy t-shirt showing donald trump in an orange jumpsuit behind bars. that's going to come back to haunt him. but on the other hand, prosecutors have done a really good job. i think i coined a term this week, pre corroborating michael cohen a lot part of what he's going to testify about, not all of it, but a lot of it. they've already heard they've already seen checks. they've seen handwriting on the internal accounting documents. they've heard from other witnesses. and so a lot of what they're going to hear from michael cohen and prosecutors will argue just this in closing, they're going to say, folks, you don't need to take michael cohen at his word because virtually everything he says is backed up. but the key point did donald trump no, hey, we're going to falsify these records. we're going to call them attorney's fees to try to hide them. that little nuance is going to be the difference and the game changer and the one that should determine the verdict. and i think that in isolation can only come from michael cohen can i say you've been excellent. i've been watching all of the commentators have been excellent. i've happened to be my personal fave, but i just

think that the insight that has been provided in difficult circumstances because we don't have cameras in the courtroom and we ought to but i think that's cnn is doing the next best thing. so keep it up and thank you. oh, wait, stick around. social media reaction in case i need to lean on you for this, what do we have catherine? yeah, waste of time. and we look like a banana republic says a conservative with some tweaks. elie honig replies, what? >> i disagree on both of those, i think there's a fair are i disagree that it's a waste of time and i disagree that we looked like a banana republic. i think there are fair criticisms which i have voiced all of the judgment decision that alvin bragg made to bring this case. i think this case can certainly be criticized for dealing with old conduct with conduct that the fed's passed on with conduct that's marginal, especially we will put against donald trump's other conduct, the january 6 and the classified documents, but i don't think that makes us into a show trial. i don't think this makes us into banana republic. what we're seeing michael is a fair trial. the judge, generally speaking, i

have some criticisms of whom i just voiced one, but by enlarge, he's running a fair and efficient trial. the lawyers for both sides have done a good and professional job. we have a jury that appears to be a fair jury. let's let this process play out. i don't personally care what the verdict is. i will respect the verdict from this jury. i think we've had a good, fair, and efficient trial, and i think it's a good statement about our judicial institutions okay. an offset simply say that i almost stumbled on the teleprompter is i was reading the intro when i got to the part that said that they had this encounter in 2006 i think that's what it said. i'm thousand and six. this is 2024, like we're having this conversation now, really, elie. thank you. >> yeah. i have thanks, michael up ahead and still to come. >> hey, i was disinhibited from delivering a commencement speech this year. have you heard so instead, i'm going to deliver it here. also why is this man smiling? the tom brady roast on netflix scored major

people let me tell you something. that's what you gotta do to maintain your happiness. you understand dissent tom's got to coach, you know who else? hey, coach. juseyo, she karate man tom appear to be a good sport for most of the night things took an awkward turn when comedian jeff ross made a joke about new england patriots owner robert kraft, involving an incident at a massage parlor back in 2019 that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner, robert kraft's office and said, i'm the best decision there organization has ever made would you like a massage? i love robert kraft. i sit again okay. okay vice president for

stand-up and comedy formats at netflix. >> defendant the special saying, quote, nothing is off limits, that's what makes it must-see television. even travis and jason kelce, the kelce brothers, who of course are nfl players found the roast entertaining that was unbelievable. >> first off everybody involved hats off i i'd been in tears the whole like last like de just watching the eclipse and everything that had me rolling because of how at everybody's neck people were going. >> i mean, it was pure entertainment and i'm really happy they did it. but i do not. i just do not get the rows. i don't understand why people do because it's got i take myself too seriously joining me now is sally jenkins, columnist for the washington post, her latest piece is called the tom brady roast was a super bowl of cruelty sally, welcome back. i get that. the jokes viewed in a

vacuum. they do seem cruel for me. it worked because the humor was an equal opportunity offender like it got everybody by the end of the night. why was that not enough for you well, because the person who is really roasted was not tom brady. >> it was his ex-wife primarily. that's number one actually, people didn't really lay too much of a glove on tom brady. he he came out pretty unscathed. number one. number two, it just wasn't that funny. i mean, kevin hart's not that funny. none of the ball players were especially funny. peyton manning was funny manning bill belichick was pretty funny. >> peyton manning was funny. the rest of them not so funny. >> okay. admittedly, you are talking to someone who's sense of humor in movies is a debate as to whether caddyshack, animal house, or slap shot are the best movie of all time. so i common to all of that me to timeless classics, all three, those are funny. funny is one

of the side. this would have been this would have been a great line for tom brady. funny is one to psych saying, stop calling men dogs men are dogs. dogs are loyal right? you don't find women's panties in a doghouse that's funny. one to sex is 20 chris rise. kevin kevin hart. not funny. it was look, just screaming profanity until a microphone is not funny. there has to be some width and some point to it. the point of the comedy too often was gisele bundchen or bridget moynihan? that was just stupid and cruel and pointless peyton manning basically saying to tom brady talking smack about tom brady in our house is called thanksgiving. that was funny by the way. >> i thought it's interesting that you say this. i thought drew bledsoe was great, perfect self-deprecating, and i love it. i want to roll some ghraieb. let me roll gronk for sally jenkins, then you can respond to him, play it what

time i really am psyched tonight that we got um, bill here night. everyone thinks you guys hate each other what i saw first his hand, you two are exactly alike. your both hardasses that hate fun you both live and breathe. football neither of you are married anymore you're both even those boris from football and both of you take full credit for the dynasty i thought that gronk was as much a target as was jesus. what did you make of him? >> i did actually gronkowski was still one of the few football players on the stage who actually had a sense that stuff wasn't that funny. he actually looked quite uncomfortable about some of the jokes directed at chisel, which i found interesting because he was targeted all night as like this dumb api kind of a guy which it also wasn't that funny so i thought gronkowski was one of the few guys who actually showed a little taste and
