11:00 am
or influenced in any way by racial considerations. and i will point out to you that there were instances in republican areas in the june 9 primary of people not receiving their absentee ballots. in fact, staff member of mine here at the state capitol waited eight or nine weeks and never got his. he still don't have his. so he had to go vote. and i know many other instances, people who had never missed voting in an election were reaching out to us saying, you know, we've waited seven, eight weeks or more to get a ballot. and, you know, here we are now down to the primary day. we still don't have one. and that's unacceptable. i'll be the first to say that is completely unacceptable. >> all right. speaker, thanks for joining us.
11:01 am
we appreciate it. speaker david ralston talking to us from atlanta. thank you, sir. >> thank you. i want to welcome viewers here in the u.s. and around the world. it is a monumental day. june 19th or juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the united states. now at a critical time in the nation's history as the country wrestles with systemic racism and police brutality. the demand for change echoing across cities and towns for weeks. it's now central to the juneteenth marches and the rallies underway. you're looking at live pictures from chicago on your left. washington, d.c., on your right. we have correspondents fanned out across the country and we'll take you there live. first, though, the latest on coronavirus. as the world health organization says has recorded more than the most reported in a single day.
11:02 am
here in the u.s. we have record numbers as well. florida announced nearly 4,000 new cases in the past 24 hours. in arizona, more than 3,200. the department of health there is urging people to wear masks in public. something the governor of california has just made mandatory in his state. nick watt is in santa monica for us. i wonder how that order is being received, nick. >> reporter: well, first up, i'm not breaking the law by doing this. i'm outside and i'm away from others. we're going to have to wait and see how some of those anti-masker counties react to that order here in california. and listen. you just mentioned florida and arizona. oklahoma also just set a new record for the most cases in a single day. and right now in those three states, there is no statewide mandate requiring masks. tulsa, the covid-19 case climbed
11:03 am
for the most in a week. the president who incorrectly says this virus is dying out with hold a masks optional maga rally. >> we'if we're going to continuo open up and not open up safely, we're going to continue to see increased cases. >> reporter: these eight states home to roughly one-third of all americans now seeing their highest ever average case counts. this is not over. masks work. those are facts. but they're now politicized. take the governor of nebraska reportedly now withholding coronavirus emergency money from any county mandating masks in government buildings. >> it's simple. no vaccine, no treatment. right? all you need is test and trace, good public health. combine it with good personal responsibility. masks, hand washing. but it together and you can
11:04 am
become new zealand, go to zero cases. >> reporter: you heard that right. new zealand routinely does zero new cases in a day. take europe. a steep drop and fewer than 5,000 new cases a day. here in the u.s., nearly five times that and climbing. >> what europe did differently is they stayed locked down a bit longer. >> reporter: the line today from the white house -- >> she the spikes aren't necessarily correlated where we're seeing less social distancing. >> reporter: that's debatable. there were fewer than 1,000 new cases reported in the state when they first opened. today, nearly 4,000. a new record high. >> i don't think we can scale back how we've opened, but we can slow down how we move forward and put these precautions in place like wearing a mask. >> reporter: and interestingly, the president's own adviser doesn't agree with him that the spikes are all just down to more testing. >> there are about 18 states
11:05 am
right now where the positive rates are going up which means that if the cases are going up, it's not just because you're doing more testing. >> reporter: the average age of those testing are dropping but they're less likely to die. 40% of american deaths have been in nursing homes. 80% in the over 65s. but the young can still spread it. by the way, new york has done so well lately that today was governor cuomo's last daily covid briefing. his message? >> today we are seeing the virus spreading in many places. more people will die, and it doesn't have to be that way. forget the politics. be smart. >> reporter: down in florida, governor desantis just talked a lot about that dramatic drop in the age of people testing positive. in florida it used to be just
11:06 am
over 65. it's now 37 and the governor thinks it's going to drop even further. in seminole county it's 26. he says they are going to be working on some covid-19 psas that are aimed at younger floridians. briana? >> great idea. nick watt, thank you from california. in an extraordinary move, apple is closing some stores temporarily in several states as cases spike. this is coming just weeks after apple reopened dozens of its stores across the country. christina alesci joins us now. if you take apple at their word, it's a big time when you have apple closing their stores. >> reporter: absolutely. these major retailers with brick and mortar buildings that are paying rent do not want to miss out on revenue. this is a tremendous deal for one of the biggest companies in the united states. shutting down 11 stores in 4
11:07 am
states. and these are -- some of these states are the ones we're talking about all day long that are seeing increases in coronavirus cases. you're talking about florida, arizona, south carolina, and north carolina. so it is not -- it's not a mystery as to why they're shutting down. when apple said they were reopening, i was on your show talking about the fact they left the caveat open. that they're going to monitor the situation to determine whether it is safe for them to continue to remain open. if they had to, they would shut down again. two points on this. businesses are very worried about getting sued. especially the big ones. that's why we're going to see this sort of uneven opening. the second point i want to make on this is this is unlike what president trump wants to see. he wants to see a pre-covid economy, and it's very clear from this case and others i've covered we're not going to get that for quite some time. >> thank you for the report.
11:08 am
amc theaters is reversing course on its mask policy. it is now going to require all people at its theaters to wear masks. this coming after the co -- ceo said he wouldn't require masks because he didn't want to be political. david sack is a former paypal executive and now part of crop ventures. david, thanks for joining us. >> good to be here. >> so we'll get to your reasons for why this should be a law in a moment. first i wonder your reaction to amc's rather swift change of heart here. >> i think it's a better business decision. i think people will be more likely to go to the movies if they know other patrons are wearing a mask. you know, it's -- when you go to a crowded theater, obviously you're making a risk decision that goes beyond just whether you want to wear a mask.
11:09 am
your lung emissions have an impact on other patrons. so i think it's a better business decision for them. it's a better health decision. but clearly more people would go to movies now. >> you actually think that wearing a mask should be law. explain this to us. >> i wrote this column over two months ago. and, you know, i think unlike a lot of pronouncements about covid, this one has aged pretty well. if you look around the world, the countries that have had the most success fighting covid are all the ones that have had y ubiquitous mask wearing. look at japan. they've had less than a thousand deaths. south korea, 51 million people, under 300 deaths. and the demon denominator. and look at europe too. a country like the czech republic, if they went all in on mask wearing and it basically
11:10 am
knocked out the virus. completely controlled it. and so if you just want to look at experience and practice, you don't have to look at models or talk to experts. because we know those things have been wrong. if you look at practice around the world, the one thing that has worked successfully is a mask policy. >> no, it's right. and even then, we've interviewed people in commerce who are not going -- you know, they're just not going to do it. so it's interesting to see how they're going to reopen without doing it. i do want you to listen to an exchange between our tim acosta. this happened just moments ago. >> will you be there, for example? >> i will be there. >> will you and other white house officials be wearing masks at the rally? >> it's a personal choice. i won't be. >> why won't you wear a mask? is it a personal political statement? is it because the president would be disappointed if you
11:11 am
wore one? >> i'm tested regularly. i feel that it's safe for me not to be wearing a mask. and i'm in compliance with cdc recommendations which are recommended but not required. >> what do you think of that, david? >> i think we're missing an opportunity here. i think the public mask policy is the biggest no brainer. i think it is hard to believe that -- you ask that this could be solved by something as simple and obvious as wearing a mask. but it really does work. if you look around the world, the countries that have successfully managed the virus are the ones that have had a policy of public mask wearing. and it's not just kind o after personal choice about assumption and risk. i'm sympathetic generally about personal freedom. but there's an old saying about the boundaries of freedom which
11:12 am
is your freedom to wave your arms and your fist hits my nose. same thing when your infectious particles hit my nose. you're making a decision for everybody around you. that's why we all sort of have to come together as a nation, let's not make this a political issue. this is simple for us to get right. let's just do it. >> yeah. that's why i think the seat belt argument doesn't fit, right? people say well, it's a choice, right? well, it's like choosing someone else to not have a seat belt. which isn't your choice. police in atlanta calling out sick on the same day as the hearing for the officer charged in rayshard brooks' death. then in louisville, kentucky, a major development in the death of breonna taylor who was shot while sleeping. one of the officers on the verge of losing his job now.

"ok, so, magnificent mile for me!" i thought i was managing... ...my moderate to severe crohn's disease. yes! until i realized something was missing... ...me. you ok, sis? my symptoms kept me- -from being there for my sisters. "...flight boarding for flight 2007 to chicago..." so i talked to my doctor and learned- ...humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief... -and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened,- -, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor... ...if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections... ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your doctor about humira.
11:17 am
with humira, remission is possible. if you can't afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help. a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! breaking news now on the deadly police shooting of breonna taylor. the city of louisville, kentucky, and its police department are seeking to fire one of three officer involved. police shot taylor at least eight times during an exchange of gunfire with her boyfriend while police were executing a no-knock warrant in search of another person. taylor, a 26-year-old emt, was sleeping when the officers barged into her home three months ago. the other two officers at this point are on administrative
11:18 am
leave. then in atlanta the majority of police officers in two zones did not show up to work today. a ripple effect of low morale in the shooting death of rayshard brooks. rolfe faces felony murder and ten other charges. he was transferred to another georgia jail because of safety reasons. cnn's ryan young is covering this for us in atlanta. and joe astead is a former police officer in virginia. ryan, tell us more about these officer who is are calling out. >> reporter: yeah. this is a critical need right now. if you think about it, officers are trying to use their bodies to show they disagree with what's happening inside this city. let's not forget there were six other officers. four of them who were fired, two put on desk duty. now you have these two officers basically what they're saying is they believe the due process program has been ripped apart here in the city. what they want to see is the
11:19 am
investigations return so if the officer dos face disciplinary action, they have their fair chance. they don't believe that's happening right now. so the officers are calling out. i'm hearing more and more we will see this throughout the weekend. that's something they've been telling me nonstop. also the atlanta police department is a multicultural police department. there are a lot of african-americans on this police force. they are upset about this as well. it's not just a white police officer situation or a black police officer situation. they say their training protocols are set in stone. and they believe they didn't see anything wrong with what happened a few nights ago. while all this is going on, there are protests here in the streets. in fact, we've seen people more than a thousand marching through the streets. i'm told tomorrow another protest will happen here in the city. when you combine that with the general actions inside the city in terms of 70 open calls sometimes. 911 calls taking much longer than ever to answer because of
11:20 am
this. there are people who are in the chain of command who are worried about what's going on. even other officers say they will not respond to calls unless they think another officer is in need. there's also defections from the police department. there are other metro areas and they are seeking employment in those places to get away from the city of atlanta. put that together with the fact they're supposed to get a raise july 1st, this has turned into a big mess. there used to be a conversation between the city government and the police officers. right now they want to hear from somebody how this police department will move forward and how they should police on the streets. >> on one side these officers at they're overworked. many of them don't agree presumably with what has happened. on the other hand, you hear ryan saying these officers were not going to respond to calling unless a fellow officer is in danger which means they're abdicating their duty as police
11:21 am
officers in trying to protect the citizens of atlanta. what is your reaction to police officers calling out like this? >> police officers are forgetting that they serve the community. and like i described in my book, it's always been the culture of policing has always been a protect us, police them. i employ that the police officers will take the same advice they give. they always say if you feel like there are injustice, you'll have your day in court. let's get to the day in court. now, if these officers who've been arrested, let them have their day in court. you as a police officer, you signed up for the job to serve a community. and if you are calling out sick, not only that you're neglecting the community, you're neglecting the others who are coming to serve a community. they should be removed. they should definitely be removed. you're neglecting two parts. the community and your fellow officers. and the government -- the local
11:22 am
government didn't have it. >> so at what point does this become a safety risk with so few officers on the ground, joe? >> oh, it's a safety risk now. it's a safety risk now. responding to calls by yourself, you don't have the back, you dent have assistance. the locals need to reach out to state police and get assistance. i mean, the union -- it's been a union tactic for a long time. we don't get our way, it's the blue flu. we ca and then you will bend to the needs of law enforcement. we need to break the culture of policing of protect us, police them. the members of the community need to know why they signed up for that job. you signed up to serve a community. regardless of what side of the aisle you believe in right now, whether the officers was guilty or not, you have a job to do. you took an oath to serve a community. because you don't like the process. you continue to serve the community. if you feel like, no, that's not
11:23 am
enough for you and i'm going to call out sick, you shouldn't be a police officer. you're leaving citizens and your fellow officers hanging and they need to go. >> joe astead, thank you. ryan young, thank you for your report. a reminder my colleague don lemon is talking about being black in america with his new cnn podcast. he's talking about all of the conversations that are going on in the country right now. it's called "silence is not an option" and you can find it on apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. next, we'll take you live to the marches and rallies right now to call for racial justice on juneteenth. is that net carbs or total?...

11:27 am
11:28 am
we have some breaking news. you may remember the captain of the "uss theodore roosevelt" who sent out that warning of the spread of the coronavirus on his aircraft carrier. he was fired over it and a preliminary investigation recommend he be reinstated and now the navy has made a decision about his fate. i want to go to barbara starr at the pentagon. you tell us what it is. this might surprise some folks. >> it just might. you know, you might remember that video the night brett
11:29 am
crozier walked off the deck of the "uss theodore roosevelt" to the cheer of hundreds of persons on his crew who applauded him wildly. well, now today we are learning from congressional member who is have just been briefed on the final report from the navy that the navy will announce that it is firing captain crozier permanently. this time from command of the teddy roosevelt, of that carrier that was docked in guam for so many weeks while hundreds of crew members tried to recover from exposure to coronavirus. initially the navy said crozier should be reinstated. but now congressional sources -- congressional officials are getting briefings that he will be permanently relieved of duty. he will be reassigned. he will not be fired from the navy outright. this may essentially end his career. he will not get a promotion effectively to admiral at any point now. he is going to be held responsible for poor judgment by all accounts that he did not
11:30 am
respond to this crisis appropriately in the eyes of the navy. but that's not all. a two star admiral also on the ship who was senior to him, obviously -- a one star, pardon me. his promotion to two star will also be put on hold as the navy looks at what role that admiral may have played and what has to be done about him. this all coming to congressional officials. the navy has not spoken publicly. we do in all candor expect them to potentially speak about this in the coming hours. but this was a case that was seen around the world, that was seen by so many people as a navy captain sending an email that went viral, that went public for which he was roundly criticized. many people around the world saw it as a navy captain trying to save his crew from the virus that he was doing the very best he could. that certainly was a narrative out there.
11:31 am
but now the navy we are told from congressional officials will say that he simply did not perform to the standards of command and he will be removed as the commander of the teddy roosevelt. brianna? >> what was it like a quarter of the crew tested positive? there was one death, right, barbara? and that was with them offloading so many of the sailors from the carrier. >> that's right. just to remind people, a carrier carries 4,000-plus crew members. they tried to do a quarantine. they tried to get sailors off the ship as much as they could to hotel spaces in guam where they were finally able to dock. but this was a ship where the virus somewhat mysteriously at the time spread wildly amongst hundreds of crew members. and there was a -- for weeks the navy struggled to get a handle on it. even the centers for disease control conducted a blood and
11:32 am
serology study on some of the sailors to try and get a fix on why on this one ship it spread so massively through so many hundreds of crew members. because it was really important to figure out if this ship told them something specific about the spread of coronavirus that was important, of course, to the rest of the world to know about medically how it spread. so the question now is if we learn more in the coming hours about the report, will there be some logical explanations here that perhaps the military does bear some responsibility. if they were not able to get a handle on it quick enough, if they weren't able to isolate people, test people, get them into quarantine, the virus spread like wildfire through that ship by all accounts. and that itself, brianna, may be a telling lesson to the rest of us. >> yeah. barbara starr, thank you so much live from the pentagon.
11:33 am
just this week facebook has removed a trump campaign add with imagery similar to a nazi symbol. and excerpts from a book by john bolton president trump told him locking up in camps was okay. the leader of the communist party in china that americans want to change the constitution so he can serve more than two terms. he also again questions whether he'd accept the results of the upcoming election. does that feel weird to you? kind of foreign, maybe? that's because it is foreign. this doesn't happen in america. or it didn't. this is the stuff of dictato dictatorshi dictatorships. it is un-american. i want to bring in andres oppenheimer. he's an author, syndicated journalist of the miami herald. andres, this only crystallizes the president's respect for dictators. >> yes. it may be news for many
11:34 am
americans, but for many of us who have been covering latin america for decades, this is a movie we've seen many, many times. i wrote as far back in 2015 a column in the miami herald when trump was just starting his campaign saying that trump had many things in common with hugo chavez. the dictator, whatever you want to call it. there's several things they have in common. populist demagogues they always need to create an enemy. in chavez's case, it was the evil u.s. empire. in trump's case, it was mexico. the mexicans who allegedly were invading the u.s. well, in fact, every serious study shows that mexico's illegal immigration had gone down for the previous ten years. second, demagogues in addition to needing to create enemies constantly to wrap themselves
11:35 am
around the flag, they -- he's a victim of the u.s. empire. et cetera, et cetera. in trump's case, it's the deep state of the supreme court or whoever is the villain of the day. it's always he's a victim of bigger powers they want to undo his presidency. then populist demagogues like chavez always use the word "i." i once counted chavez speech in which he said the word "i" as in "me" 489 times in one speech. i haven't done it with trump except when i wrote that column in 2015. but in trump's acceptance speech, he mentioned the word "i" 220 times. not as bad as chavez, but --
11:36 am
>> but a lot. >> finally populist authoritarian leaders, demagogues, whatever you want to call them. they always have another thing in common which is blaming the media. calling the media the enemy of the people. in a nutshell, it may be a new phenomenon in america. maybe americans are not used to having a populist president. but those of us covering latin america for decades, it's the same playbook, the same sentences, the same tone. >> yeah. there's a playbook. it's just not an american one. it is now. andres, thank you so much. >> thank you. across the country right now, marches and celebrations are underway marking juneteenth which commemorates the end of slavery in america. this comes amid growing demands nationwide for an end to systemic racism and police
11:37 am
brutality. what you're looking at here are live pictures coming to us from oakland, california, there on the left. washington, d.c., on the right at the lincoln memorial there only national mall. these are pictures of rallies that are taking place across the country. several of them taking place across the country. i want to bring in shimon prokupecz. you are at a rally in atlanta, right? tell us about this. tell us what protesters are saying. >> to be honest, this feels more like i'm at church than at a protest with the music playing. this is christian contemporary music. several churches from the atlanta area have gotten together and have joined here in one big service. you can hear the music they're playing. there's been a lot of dancing, a lot of praising. and also i have to say talk of justice and social healing.
11:38 am
healing throughout the country. the group here -- there were several thousand at one point. some still lingering. they marched, actually, from here downtown atlanta over to the capitol. then they returned here. and they've all been here as you can see dance iing, talking abo social justice. talking about healing. bringing all sorts of different churches together. you can see a very diverse crowd. many of them just lingering now and sort of just given this moment spending time together here. >> thank you so much for sharing that with us. shimon prokupecz in atlanta. next as tulsa braces for the president's rally, the president is now threatening protesters who may show up. from rogue finger-painters...

11:43 am
tulsa, oklahoma, is getting ready to host president trump's first campaign rally since the pandemic shut down the nation. tomorrow's rally is expected to draw tens of thousands of people raising concerns about the spread of the coronavirus. oklahoma is among eight states currently experiencing their highly weekly spike in infections. tulsa county has more infections than any other county in the state as well. and attendees it's worth noting will have the undergo temperature checks. they will also be given masks but are not required to wear them. and they will not be social distancing. but they will sign a waiver. garland pruitt is president of the oklahoma city branch of the naacp. tell us about your concerns with this rally, sir. >> it's amazing in this day and time we can see, know, and hear of the things going on as far as the deaths are concerned and the increase in those particular numbers. and we still choose to get out
11:44 am
there. when you're following someone who has told it it'll be gone on its own in a few days and now we're 100,000-plus, when are we going to deal with reality and accept this thing is not what you think it is and it's beyond. he's been saying it's a normal flu. ain't no flu in america killed over 100,000 in less than a few months. we have a major problem out there. if you keep listening to someone who's not scientific, who won't read, don't listen, and won't hear the professionals, we have a major problem. >> you know city leaders -- sorry. go on. >> you were saying oklahoma is on the increase and we cannot ignore those numbers. the numbers are real. matter of fact, the numbers are problem beyond because they're not doing the proper testing.
11:45 am
>> and city leaders as you know are expecting tens of thousands of people. they're going to be flooding the city. the campaign says that over a million have rsvp'd. there are warnings of civil unrest. and the president garland tweeted this today. any protesters, anarchists, looters or lowlifes going to oklahoma, please understand you will not be treated like you have been in new york, seattle, or minneapolis. it will be a much different scene. i wonder what you think of that tweet especially where he's lumping in peaceful protesters with anarchists and lowlifes. >> the name calling. the name calling. he can turn that right back at his self. when you put people's lives on the line for you to be re-elected, that's what he's actually doing. he doesn't care anything about those that are out there supporting him. he's only, only concerned about being re-elected.

we're living in a sad situation right now. when we have to lean and depend on someone like that leading the country, leading the country. the sickness is running rampant. this is just like back during jim jones. they forced him to take the kool-aid. now they're running to the kool-aid. that's the sadness and the sickness we're living in right now. led by someone who is only, only concerned about being re-elected. don't make sense. here every country in the world has been able to reduce their numbers by following the protocol of those that are professionals in that area as far as epidemiology is concerned. wear the mask, social distancing, and you live. now he's promoting just the opposite for those that die following that kool-aid, god bless. that's all i could say. this rally and demonstration that is taking place across the

country has everything to do with injustice. everything to do with systemic racism. it's alive and well. in tulsa, oklahoma, most recently just a very few years ago car break down and in a few minutes i'm dead. car break down, in a few minutes i'm dead. hands up, walking away, killed. and the person that ended up killing him is out teaching police training right now. those are the kind of things that we cannot tolerate, we cannot put up with, we cannot accept. bottom line is, miss taylor, a first responder killed. george killed on tv. arbery killed on tv. most recently brooks killed on tv. and we still don't get justice. that's a problem.
11:48 am
and everybody standing up, speaking up, and saying something about it needs to be done. it's long overdue. but beyond charges, beyond -- i mean arrests and charges, we got to get a conviction. we got to get them locked up. you cannot continue to do those things. oklahoma has killed, what? 48 folks since 2013. >> garland pruitt, thank you so much for joining -- >> oklahoma city. >> garland pruitt, i wish i could have you on. -- i wish i could have you on so much longer. i've enjoyed this discussion and getting your feedback on what we're going to be seeing in tulsa this weekend. thank you, sir. >> call me back. i'm ready. thank you. >> all right. i know you are. i know you are. thank you. right now justice department lawyers are in court arguing to stop the release of john bolton's book. we will have some details on what's happening inside the courtroom next.

i'm still discovering what's next. and still going for my best. even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib... ...not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm reaching for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? i'm on board. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding.
11:50 am
don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily- -and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. ask your doctor about eliquis. and if your ability to afford... ...your medication has changed, we want to help.

judge has heard now an argument from the justice department to stop the publication of john bolton's book before its official release next tuesday. the main narrative is that president trump was willing to give away just about anything to foreign leaders if they would help his re-election. secretary of state mike pompeo and treasury secretary steven mnuchin among the administration officials claiming today that the book is full of lies. pompeo went so far as to call bolton a traitor. i want to bring in cnn justice correspondent evan perez and cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. evan, tell us what happened inside this hearing. >> one of the things that's developed here is it's clear that the judge that's hearing this case doesn't really see much -- what much he can do to try to stop publication of this book on tuesday. he says the horse, as we used to say in texas, seems to be out of the barn. pointing to the fact that there are reporters all over the city who already have copies of the book. the book has already been distributed overseas.
11:55 am
it is probably already en route in amazon shipments to bookstores around the country. he's asking the government what do you want me to do here because the book, for all intents and purposes, is already being published. the government is saying that john bolton could at least prevent the audio book from being published. the judge doesn't seem to be buying that. what this turns into now, it appears that the judge is going to look at whether or not john bolton will have to surrender the earnings from the book because that's another part of the government's case here against john bolton. we'll see whether or not he'll be able to keep the millions of dollars that he is being paid to publish this book. >> yeah. only becoming more and more, right, as this becomes such a big deal which makes people want to buy the book. >> right. >> jeffrey, you have firsthand experience with a rigorous review process. you even had to go to court to get your first book publish good your time as a prosecutor in the iran-contra affair. what do you think is going to happen here?
11:56 am
>> i think evan is clearly right that, you know, the -- the chance of stopping the book is impossible. simon & schuster sent me my publicity copy today, and you know, they're not going to pry it from my cold, dead hands or anyone else's. i mean, you just can't stop the book at this point. however, john bolton has a very serious problem about the money issue because as i remember from my own experience, the whole reason penguin press, which is my publisher, and i went to court is that there is very clear supreme court precedent going back to the 1970s that says if you violate a prepublication review requirement, even if the book turns out not to have classified information, if you just the process, if you don't get clearance and publish the book anyway, they'll take away your money. and that's clearly it seems to
11:57 am
me what bolton did. he did not get the clearance he was supposed to get. i think he is in serious jeopardy of losing the money. just one point, you know, matt bissonnette, a member of s.e.a.l. team six, he wound up giving back has money because he did not submit the book for review. this is not an obscure law. john bolton has a real problem. >> let's hope he didn't spend the advance. thank you so much. we are back in a moment. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health. and nutrients to
