one, it's fair to say if you go back and look at what he said on the campaign trail, that's actually what he plans to do. so he's going to get rid of dei. he wants to make government smaller. he's talked about ending the department of education and bringing things back to the states. i think you can anticipate that all of those things are actually going to happen, and they're going to try to make that happen very quickly. donald trump, only he knows he has one term left, so he wants to get as much done as possible quickly. while he has the trifecta in washington. >> how much of that is is being orchestrated with susie wiles, his chief of staff? >> a lot of it. after the election, susie wiles and the top level campaign staff gave a speech to a venture capital firm in las vegas. and one of the things she said to this group was, we only basically have two years to do the real big, heavy stuff, so they're hitting the ground running. >> shall we talk it marco rubio inside sources, thank you very

january 6th pardons while glossing over the facts of their cases that he gave passes to criminals who attacked the blue. plus, nowhere is safe. the trump administration gives ice agents a green light to raid schools and churches to search and deport migrants. also, enemies of the state. president trump targets his critics. a general, a commandant, a chef while pulling a former employees security whom iran wants to assassinate, and a searing sermon. >> in the name of our god. i ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. >> a bishop asks the president to have mercy. she receives only rage from his maga disciples. live at the table. scott jennings, ashley allison, arthur aidala, and ana navarro.

americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other, but here they do. good evening. i'm abby phillip in new york. let's get right to what america is talking about. pardons tonight, donald trump giving the country reason to believe that maybe he only skimmed the paperwork before signing off on releasing violent criminals who attacked the capitol and police officers on day one of his second term in office, the president gave clean slates to people convicted of january 6th. convicted crimes. on day two of his second term, the president seemed to undermine his own reasoning for putting violent offenders back into public life. >> you would agree that it's never acceptable to assault a police officer? sure. so then, if i can, among those. you pardoned jay rodriguez. he drove a stun gun into the neck of a d.c. police officer who

was abducted by the mob that day. he later confessed on video to the fbi and pleaded guilty for his crimes. why does he deserve a pardon? >> well, i don't know. was it a pardon? because we're looking at commutes and we're looking at pardons. okay, well, we'll take a look at everything. >> are you sending the message that assaulting officers is okay with these pardons? >> no. the opposite. >> joining us in our fifth seat at the table is michael van der veen, a defense attorney for multiple defendants related to january 6th. michael, your clients, some of them have been charged and convicted. serve their time for more minor offenses. one of them did have a charge of of assaulting a police officer. why should that person, especially if that was done in service of trying to obstruct, obstruct the peaceful transfer of power? why should any of your clients, frankly, have gotten off here? >> well, you know, first of all, the client, one of the clients that i had that was charged with assaulting officers went to trial and was found not guilty of that charge. so he was found.

>> not one of the three. >> and that's one of them. >> and then one of them was convicted. >> and one of them was was accused of putting a bike rack in front of somebody. the reason why and the facts of each case are different, but these are overall blanket pardons. and the reason why there are overall blanket pardons is because of what a pardon is. a pardon is separate from the judicial system, and a pardon is originally from england. an act of mercy. it's prerogative of mercy. originally in our country and in our constitution. article two, section two, clause one of the constitution. the pardon power is given to the president and not any other branch of government, because it's it's it's his vision as to what's best for society. it'd be the easy answer when talking about the pardons for j six to say, oh, look at what president biden did and look at who he pardoned. but that would be the wrong answer because it

doesn't address what pardons are for, what pardons are for, if i may, is about what is best for society into the future. it's not talking about the past, it's into the future. >> yes. so, okay, so by that. >> token. >> jackie johnson, y by that, forgive me because we have a bunch of people at the table. by that same token, why is it in the interest of society to have people who convict, who were convicted of some? i'm not necessarily talking about your clients, but in some cases very serious crimes, very serious assaults against police officers. we had one on the air just in the last hour. who was almost, you know, who was basically jammed into doors by someone who was pardoned yesterday. >> that was why officer hodges, we all remember that. horrible. >> why is that in the best interest of the country? to have those people go go free and have the lesson be that you can try to obstruct democracy and then get off without any consequences. >> it's in the best interests of this country. because what

happened on january 6th needs to be part of our history, not part of our present and our future. it needs to blend into the fabric of the history of our country. i want to say that andrew johnson pardoned jefferson davis, who was the president of the confederacy, after after starting the civil war. and the reason why he did it is because you have to put the country in a position where we're going forward, not backwards. >> there is there is also. >> an arthur is at the table. is there not a principle of the justice system of deterrence? and that punishments so serve both as a punishment and as a deterrent? you're probably maybe the wrong person to ask. >> no no no no no no. when you go to federal, when you go to federal court. and which i'll be doing on friday on a sentencing, there's like seven things that a judge has to take into account when he sentences someone or she sentences someone, and one of them is specific deterrence. whether you're going to deter that individual from committing those crimes and then general deterrence, the message that you're sending out to society that if you commit this crime,

this is the punishment you're going to face. so it is a big piece of it. but the president, it's one of the few parts of government where there is no checks and balances. i don't even think the united states supreme court has the power in the interest of justice, to dismiss a case. >> i mean. he he can do it. we know that. i mean, there's no question he has the absolute power to do it. the question is, is it right? >> well, the the bottom line is from bill clinton. you know, who mark, what was his name? the big millionaire guy. >> mark rich. >> thank you. at the very end. you know, i don't always think to my colleague who i love having another defense attorney here, um, i don't always think it's for the best interest of the country. i think there's a lot of personal ideas. trump campaigned on this. this is no secret. nobody should be surprised that this took place. whether you like it or not. he campaigned on it openly. and i will say, as a criminal defense attorney, abbe, those people, though, who were incarcerated, they faced some horrible humanitarian conditions during their period of incarceration.

>> that's what. >> the. >> prosecution is. to be clear. >> hold on. oh, god. >> hold up. first of all. >> i'm just going to address what you. >> just said. >> part of it. yeah. >> jail is not nice, okay? and it's not nice for january 6th prisoners. it's not nice for anybody else. >> who's there. >> there are different. >> kinds of. >> jd vance said earlier that that it's not a good idea to pardon people who were convicted of crimes, especially the ones involving assaulting police officers. now, as a result of that, here's what trump said to reporters today when he was confronted with what jd vance had said. >> jd vance, he said, if this is a week ago, he said, if you committed violence on january 6th, obviously you should not be pardoned. why is your vice president wrong? >> well, only for one reason. they they've served years in jail. they should not have served. excuse me. and they've served years in jail, and murderers don't even go to jail in this country. their lives have been ruined. and in many and in many cases. listen to me for a second. stop

interrupting. they served years in jail. and if you look at the american public, the american public is tired of it. >> they served years in jail, and they did it for me. and that's why they got pardoned. and that is political. >> my friend. >> well, they also got pardoned because he can, right? yeah. because he beat. whether you agree with him, whether people agree with him or not, he believes he's got a mandate. he's got no guardrails. he doesn't have a reelection. nobody should be shocked by this outrage. maybe, but not shocked because donald trump remember he would play the january 6th anthem at all his rallies. he would call them. he still calls them hostages. incredibly offensive given that we have hostages in in gaza right now. he promised over and over. so i would say to you, look what jd vance says has zero validity. four days ago, pam bondi, in her confirmation hearing, said that these cases would be looked at case by case. what pam bondi says has zero validity. there is one

person who matters, and i think that the things he promised on that campaign should be taken very seriously. and if you voted for him thinking, oh, don't take him seriously, he's just joking. well, you screwed around and you're finding. >> out by trump's definition of this. and by his token, i would always also expect to see, you know, the hundreds of people who were convicted of the george floyd protests of assaulting police officers to walk free. right. scott? >> well, they were prosecuted. i mean. >> how many were how many were prosecuted ultimately because because there were lots of people that had all their charges dropped. >> have the answer for you? and it's hundreds of them. >> i mean, i saw i saw an analysis, i saw an analysis of that summer. and most people who were charged had their charges dropped. >> but what charges were they? >> i mean, all kinds of. if they were. >> for failure to disperse those types of charges, the ones who were charged with violent crimes, those charges were not dismissed. they were prosecuted. >> well, they went into all kinds of diversionary programs. i'm one of the few lawyers in this country that represented people in those riots. and on january 6th, one of the very few. and the way that the

prosecution was handled between those two groups are starkly different. >> don't you think that there is. a substantive difference between what happened on january 6th, what they were trying to do, and why the federal government has a desire and in fact, a necessity to prevent that from ever happening again. don't you think there's a substantive difference between those two things? one of them was trying to overturn an election. >> no, i mean, i'll answer it. >> you don't think there's a difference between trying to overturn an election and violent social justice protests? >> well, you call it social justice. okay? so, so i'll give it to you, scott. >> both groups say that they're violent. you don't think there's a difference between trying to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power? >> here's what i think. >> and violent riots in the street at any kind. the ones in 1968, the ones in 20. >> of those riots. >> in 2020. i think both groups of people were mad about something going on. they wanted to change it. they took matters into their own hands that they

should not have done. in both cases, you had people engaging in activities that they should not have engaged in. now, our culture and our public discourse decided that one group of people, social justice, is good and these people were bad. but the reality is they had the same motivation. they actually why they all did the same thing. >> wait, wait a second. >> they did not have the same motivation. >> they did not. >> they did not know they wanted to. >> change something they. >> didn't like. first of all, i don't even want to get in this debate because it's done. people voted and as anna said, fafo, okay, go, go google it if you don't know what that means, because i can't say it on national television, but this is the era that we are in and. people there were people in protest. they were not riots, they were protests, and there were people who showed up at the protest and did bad behavior. but that was because a man was murdered unjustly. >> that doesn't give you the right to break into the nike

store. that doesn't give you the right to break into tiffany's. >> how about you let me finish? how about you? >> how about you blowing up a police precinct? >> how about you let. >> me second arthur. let me let her. >> that's what we do at this table. they. a man was killed, and that's why they protested. now, i don't sit on this network and try on both sides something if you were violent in those protests. repercussions should be had. but that is not what happened on january 6th. what happened on january 6th is people went and stormed the capitol because a man had it and lost an election and couldn't stand up. nobody died because of that election. people died because of donald trump's actions. and because i don't know if the people you defend, but the people officers die on. >> that day. no, no, no, no, no. one guy had a heart attack five days later. no officers. >> died back to blue. officer. >> hold on, hold on. officer brian sicknick. he had multiple strokes. he died by suicide. officer jeffrey smith, metropolitan police. >> how many cops died by suicide? all the time. >> say their names. whether you like it or not. you stand by

traumatic brain injury. and he died by suicide. officer howard liebengood, capitol police died by suicide. gunther hashida, metropolitan police died by suicide. kyle freitag, metropolitan police died by suicide. so i am not going to. and if you're going to be campaigning about being for the blue, being about law and order, you know what i really appreciated today? the very few republicans on the senate who stood up, people like thom tillis, people. >> like, play the sound because we have it. let's play that. >> they are being consistent to who they were on january 6th and january 7th. >> that's right. let's play this out. >> to me, i just can't agree. it was surprising to me that it was a blanket pardon. >> 100% of the pardon. every one of them. they've been here long enough. most of them hadn't been been charged with anything. >> i do not support the pardons. if they were given, if they were given to people who committed violent crimes, including assaulting police

officers. >> he told us he would pardon the jan six. protesters. he that was well known when he campaigned for the job he won. he won the popular vote. he won a mandate and i fully support him in doing that. >> so there were some like to your point, and do we have that wall street journal op ed, the wall street journal just put out an op ed tonight basically saying this that republicans, uh, you know, trump pardons the january 6th cop eaters, republicans busy denouncing president biden's preemptive pardons for his family and other political allies, and deservedly so. but then it's shameful if you don't hear many, if any. ruing president trump's proclamation to pardon unconditionally nearly all of the people who rioted at the capitol on january 6th. i mean, there are people here on the on the right who think this is outrageous. and so i don't think it, you know, it's i don't know, maybe some people think that you can't be pro-trump. >> and, abby, what are they going to do about this?

>> but it seems like you can. thom tillis supports trump. he opposes it. >> it's not right left. >> it is right. i mean it clearly. >> no, it's not right left. he's right, he's right. it's not right. >> left to be right. left. >> that's right. wrong and. >> wrong right. >> for the presidential power, it's what's best for our community and our society as a whole. you're right. all of those officers that died and lost their lives and committed suicide, they should be honored. they lost their lives. but it doesn't matter why you attack a federal building. you can attack a federal building because you're mad because somebody got killed, or you can attack a federal building because you're mad because somebody didn't win an election. no, no, no, it doesn't justify it. it doesn't. >> justify. >> disparaging. >> this is. >> doesn't justify disparaging treatment. >> but i take your point. >> can i say something? i would argue that letting what 1500 people lose who are now emboldened and feel that they are untouchable because the president of the united states has their back, people who many of them have very violent tendencies because they've already shown them

people who their own families are terrified of. we have seen we have seen reports in this. >> it's not true. what you're saying is. >> which part is not true? >> part is not. >> true, abby. well. which part? wait, wait. hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. >> it's not. >> not true. hold on. go! the vast, vast, vast majority who people were charged with a crime. they were. they were sheep. they followed the herd into the capitol. yes. they were a handful of violent people. but the vast majority of those 1500 people were people who walked in and trespassed. and in federal court. just so you know, i've never had a trespass case in my life. number one. number two, i just have to take umbrage. i'm on the rafael romo. i'm on the rafael ramos foundation. he was the detective in new york city who got executed. and and his partner, i set up their foundations pro bono. and i also represent the new york state court officers. so i'm very pro law enforcement. all i'm saying is we need. >> to be pro law enforcement and be pro pardoning people who who rioted against beat up. >> you never. >> heard more. >> than. >> you never heard me say. i thought they should have been. you never heard me say.

>> just because you 1500. >> it's not. >> way more than a handful. okay? >> i bet you it's. i bet you it's no more than 100. >> i remember. >> i bet you 1400 people were charged with federal trespass, which just doesn't happen. ask him. it just doesn't happen. >> let's just stop with the hyperbole, okay? >> it's not hyperbole. it's a fact. i'll be in federal court tomorrow. it's a fact. >> you gave the impression that it's a handful of people who were charged with violent offenses, that. >> they weren't charged with violent offenses. >> that is not. >> true, okay? it is how many people were charged with violent crimes on that day? >> well, first of all, the truth is, the vast majority of the people that were there that day, trespass, never entered the capitol. okay, first. >> of all, and they were. >> not charged, the percentage of people that did enter the capitol are very much as you just described, people who went there to cause problems, not people who were there who were protesting. most of the people that went from the ellipse to there did not enter the capitol, did not intend and never did commit acts of violence. there are more than a handful of. people that.

committed acts of violence, but i would say that there were less than in the summer riots that committed acts of violence. >> look, there were way more than a handful. >> well, the 1500. i want to get the number. this is cnn. let's get the number. >> and and also, why does that justify pardoning all of them? carte blanche. i think that's really the question that we were trying to. we got to go, michael, thank you very much. actually. we really appreciate you coming here and bringing that perspective to the table. thank you. coming up next, trump's border czar says immigration raids have now begun and the feds can now make arrests inside schools and churches. another special guest is going to join us in our fifth seat. plus, the president is kicking off his retribution tour by pulling the security detail for john bolton. despite iranian threats on his life. is this a national security risk? now? >> kobe was global. people felt his presence. >> kobe the making of a legend premieres saturday at nine on cnn

>> the christopher and dana reeve paralysis act. >> people are literally walking because of him. >> superman. the christopher reeve story. february 2nd on cnn tonight, schools and churches. >> as of this evening, a new trump administration edict means the places where we learn and where we pray are no longer safe. if you're undocumented, arrests in sensitive places are no longer off limits, and arrests may already be underway. trump's top immigration official says raids are happening right now, though he didn't give specifics about where and when. joining us at the table is jose antonio vargas. you'll remember that he publicly revealed his undocumented status in the new york times magazine back in 2011. and on the cover of time in 2012. he's the author of dear america notes of an undocumented citizen, and the host of the youtube show define american. jose is now on a visa after 31 years as an undocumented immigrant.

out. but what do you make of this change to ice guidance that allows them to, or at least here's how i see it. they want it to be known that they're willing to go into those places, and that is part of what they're trying to accomplish, is to up the fear level here in the undocumented community. >> i think the question is, what are you going to do when people are getting arrested while you're dropping off your kid to school? like the fact that this is now going to happen in all of these places. i think the question is how complicit are americans going to be when this is happening right in front of them? and to be honest, i don't know the answer to that question. >> what people at. >> school like meaning, when you're when you're when you're dropping off your kid and all of a sudden ice shows up with a warrant. and by the way, they need to have a warrant to arrest somebody, right? right. now, as that was happening, all i saw today was people just making sure know your rights cards are being

printed, so people understand that ice needs a warrant to arrest you. you have a right to ask for a lawyer. you have a right to remain silent like undocumented immigrants actually have rights. >> yeah, i think i think if i were dropping my kid off at school and they showed up and arrested someone who, i don't know had committed a violent crime or had existing adjudicated deportation orders, i would a wonder why they were at the school. and b c great. finally, somebody is enforcing the law in the united states of america. i would have no problem with this, truthfully. >> and the reality is, undocumented people are way less likely to commit crime. >> but you admit there are some here that are. >> violent criminals. there are some like there are some people. >> and there's no disagreement among anybody. >> so if they were at a school, you'd agree would be okay to come get them. >> but it's not just those people that are going to be deported, right? and so, i mean, i don't know, i want to think that if it was the parent of a child who might be a friend of yours, of your kids, you know, you would feel some level of compassion, um, i know i would. i think there's going to be a lot of pain. i think

there's people there's a lot of people in this country who are part of the fabric of the country that we don't even know are undocumented. people like him who you know, who. >> we do know. he's on he's on the cover of time magazine. >> but we do now. we did. >> not have legal for forever. and i mean, yeah. >> do we have a crisis in this country or not? 10 million people came here in the last four years. we've had no interest on the part of the last administration to do anything other than create this massive problem. he campaigned on it when he ran and and wanted to invite a lot of people here. it's a crisis. people voted for trump to solve the crisis. there's two issues. it's border security is one. that's a policy issue. but number two, it's an enforcement issue. and what they have said clearly time and again, violent populations, people who have committed violent crimes and people who have existing adjudicated deportation orders is their top priority. i do not know how anyone and this is what the new york times poll said last weekend could

possibly disagree with that. >> yeah, i think that that's it is true that that's where they're going to start. but you would also agree that they've also been clear that they don't want to stop their tom homan has said the priority is to deport everyone. >> yeah. >> it's 10 million people. that's that's yeah. >> by the way. and i think we can debate how realistic it is. but but they have said that that they're going to start there but they're not going to stop. >> i mean, i agree with what you said a moment ago, though. you know, we talked in the last segment about deterrence. i think this is part of the deterrence thing. like don't come here, you know, don't i mean, you know, mayor adams, my mayor, he went to the border and told them afterwards he's like, please don't come here. i have nowhere to put you. i can't feed you. i can't house you, i can't clothe you. he did it in a more compassionate way, in my opinion, than the current administration is saying, if you come here, we're going to go into your school, we're going to go into your church and we're going to and we're going to send you back. >> can i just make one point? >> scott is right. like i said before, on the other issue, he campaigned on this. when people voted for him, they should have had the expectation that this was going to happen exactly

like it is happening. and i think part of what's also i think the strategy is having people self-deport having people be very afraid and self-deport now, that means that that's going to affect our economy. and i assure you, there are people that have adjudicated deportation orders who you come into contact with, and you just don't know, don't know who. probably took. >> your shoes and cries under obama when he deported 7 or 8. >> there were a lot, a lot. >> the economy, the economy did not collapse. >> there actually were picked. >> i mean, whatever it is you argue, i just i don't buy that the economy is. >> on this very night where somebody called him the deporter in chief. but i will say this, um, you were actually the first undocumented person that i know only met that that weekend. >> i remember. >> that weekend we met at a retreat many, many years ago, and that was after i had worked at the white house. and i actually found some shame in that, because i was a public servant working in the president that i worked for did deport people. um, but this is the thing about this country

and particularly this issue, is there's a lot of they're violent, they're this, they're that. but when you don't know somebody's story and you don't actually get to look into your eyes and say, i see your humanity, i see your dignity, you you are deserving and you are given so much to this country. it is easy to otherwise, though now, this last section we were talking about pardoning people who had committed violent crimes, and now we're like, they're the worst people on earth. so it's hard. it's going to be a long four years for a lot of people, but it's really hard to like the the double standard on many things. >> no, but i have to tell you, ashley, as an immigrant and i don't know if you feel like this as an immigrant, i am particularly angry by people who come to this country as immigrants to this great country that affords so many opportunities to people that afforded me the ability to live in freedom and grow up in freedom. i truly get angry at anybody who comes here as an immigrant and commits a violent

crime. i have zero. >> let me be a clear i don't think. >> people who commit crime in general are like. >> i'm not pro crime. >> i'll tell you, one of the problems we have that nobody's speaking about a lot of these criminals that folks are talking about. these immigrant criminals are people from venezuela where maduro does not have have a deportation agreement. he's not going to take them. people like in cuba. so it's venezuela, cuba, nicaragua. there's three dictators there who are anti-american and have absolutely no memorandum of understanding on deportations with the united states. so those, you know, it's not as easy as it sounds on paper. >> the problem is the flattening of the narrative. it's almost as if you're talking about all these undocumented people, like they're a monolith, like they're the same thing. and when you were talking, by the way, about holding people accountable, i wonder, so how about the employers like, what's going to happen? i mean, to me, that's the big question i've always wondered about e-verify. >> but what scott said about president obama, we did it. this is president trump's not

doing something unique that's never been done before. we did it not that long ago. and somehow or another, we figured it out. >> going into churches. >> is no, i agree. >> i agree a new level. >> you heard what i said to abby. i don't think they're really going into churches. i think they're sending the message out there that we're taking this seriously. >> one of the reasons look, i covered trump when he was president. so i've been around this block with him before. and you got to look at the details, okay. they ice already had the authority to do this when they were looking for violent criminals. so the idea that they would make this announcement is partly so that people hear it panic and panic, but they already had that authority. if they were looking for somebody who is who is a national security threat, somebody who is violent, somebody who needs to be urgently taken out of a community, they have the ability to go into those communities. um, part of the trump, you know, strategy is about making people feel like everything that he's doing is brand new and different, when maybe it's not. >> well, i agree that there's

a there's a communication strategy here. the previous administration's communications strategy was get here, come here, and it'll probably work out for you. his communication strategy is do not come here. please don't. do not invite anyone here. do not expect to be left alone. if you do, come here and break our laws. those are two vastly different messages. i prefer the second one. and as it turns out, so do most. >> can i just say. >> i want to let jose have. >> the first thing kamala said on national television was do not come. >> just to be clear. yeah. >> how'd that. >> work out? >> yeah. and she was mocked. >> for it. yeah. but like and again. >> and again you say do not come then ten yards. and what do you say. help wanted. right. i mean half of the construction business in texas is undocumented laborer. how about all the farmers? one third. >> one third. no one can argue with you. i don't think those are the people the ice guys are going after. you don't. maybe i'm wrong. i don't think they're going to the farms and pulling hard working guys off. i don't think they're going to school and take the mother who just did the homework with their kid and brought him into. >> third grade, i'm afraid. >> i don't think. i don't think those are the people. >> they're talking about doing

workplace raids. >> and by the way, let's see if it happens. i don't necessarily think. >> that you can make the assumption that it's not going to happen. >> let's see. >> do you all agree. >> though, if you. >> think that he said that he wants to do it. so we should. >> assume that you all agree. if you have an existing, fully adjudicated deportation order. yes. so that's 1.5 million people. and you all agree that if you are a violent criminal, either where you came from or here, that's another people, that's another. >> adjudicated deportation order. >> this is. >> these are massive american children who are married to american spouses. >> do you respect the laws or not? you respect the courts or not? >> well. >> wait a second. >> they went through the court system. oh my god. this president. >> just said that he's ending birthright citizenship, which is illegal. that's unconstitutional. so are we actually going to talk about who's breaking the law? >> yes, 34 felony. >> all right. >> guys, he's sending. >> a message. >> we're going to leave it there. everyone. thank you very much, jose antonio vargas, thanks for joining us. everyone else, don't go anywhere just yet. coming up next, president trump confirming that he has ended secret service protection for john bolton. even though bolton has been the target of

time people saw me come into a meeting with john bolton standing behind me, they thought that he'd attacked them because he was a warmonger. >> not too long ago, bolton was the target of an iranian plot to assassinate him. and the reason why is because of donald trump's policy that he celebrates the assassination of soleimani. now he's taking away the secret service detail. >> well, abby, i would have to think that there's some due diligence that takes place. so in our courthouses, when federal judges try terrorist trials, they are entitled to secret, well, not secret service marshal details, but they constantly get evaluated. and after a certain period of time, like, okay, you tried that case two years ago, there's been no formidable threats. we've checked everything. you're safe. we pull it and the judges get really ticked off because it's a nice luxury to have a united states marshal make your reservations for you. go to a hotel. >> with you. the threats were like last year. >> yeah, okay. >> this is not done and dusted. does that surprise you, scott? >> i'm not surprised. i

actually don't have a problem with him pulling his security clearance. nor do i have a problem. i'm more than fine with him pulling the security clearances for the people who signed the hoax. russian. >> what about the security. >> detail thing on the on the hunter biden lap? that's fine. i'm worried about the security detail because he has faced credible threats. my assumption is the iranians would still like to murder him. i mean, and the iranians have tried to have plots against trump himself. i mean, we know they're active enemies of the united states and will. >> continue out. >> last year. do you think so? >> i'm. so some of this, i think is okay on the security clearances. i'm worried. >> about. >> what trump do. if they killed bolton, what would donald president trump do if the iranians killed john bolton? i mean, he would be like he deserved it. or you think he would? >> it would. >> be if we don't find out. >> i agree. let's hope. i mean, of course everyone agrees. >> do you think it's a coincidence, though, that, like john bolton, has been pretty critical of donald trump? like we're leaving one big fact out of a fact pattern that we get in law school and for since he

left, they are not. did he pull anybody else's. >> in the eo? he criticizes bolton's memoir and claims that he used sensitive information. in the memoir. bolton disputes that and says his book actually went through the clearance process. >> but donald. >> trump. >> is very upset at people who worked for him and then went and monetized, spilling the beans. and he has again, i go back to what i've been saying on segment one and segment two. he clearly told us he was coming for revenge and retribution, and he clearly, you know, we knew there was an enemies list. we knew john bolton was on it. i don't like john bolton very much, but i certainly think that if he worked, that he worked for our government and that the danger he is facing is because of serving in our government, and that we owe that to him, that security. and yeah, you know, the reason that he's pulling that detail is not because of due diligence. it's not because it's simply because he's got

an ax to grind with john bolton, because john bolton was critical of him. >> all right, everyone, stick around and ask for mercy. received on a bed of thorns. how? one bishop's message to the new president sparked right wing fury. that's next. >> you'll be back. >> emus can't help people customize and save with liberty mutual. >> and doug. >> well, i'll be. >> only pay for what you need. >> liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. >> let's start the. >> bidding at $5 million. thank you sir. >> these people. >> of privilege hoarding. >> the financial advantages for. >> far too long. >> point five at the back. >> look at them. unaware that robinhood gold members now enjoy the vip treatment. the 3% ira match on retirement. >> contributions 11 million, sir. >> once they discover their privileges are no

there are gay, lesbian and transgender children in democratic, republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives. they they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. i ask you to have mercy, mr. president, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. >> well, as you can probably see, that message went over about as well as you would think. after the sermon, trump whispered something to vance and then vance shook his head. trump would later criticize her. here's the bishop on cnn tonight. >> it was a very. muted response. i wasn't expecting. i keep my expectations low whenever i preach. aaron, i don't and i don't always i

can't always measure impact by body language or even what people say afterwards. and so i have to let all of that go. i speak from what i believe i've been given to say and, and and let it go from there. one of the things i was trying to get across is that we can actually have these conversations in a respectful way. >> all right. some doctrinal differences here playing out in church. what do you think, scott? >> uh, these aliens or episcopalians or whatever they're calling themselves today? this is ridiculous. this was terrible. uh, donald trump, i'm sure regrets participating in this event today. to be lectured to and politicized in a church this way. and i thought it was, frankly, a disgrace to what they did at this event. i don't know if this event will happen ever again because of this. this particular, uh uh, bishop took it upon herself to turn this into a complete and total circus and spectacle, and i, i don't know any republican today who's like, oh, wow.

>> well, it was a very long service, right? this was like two minutes. and she was very demure and she was very mindful. and by the way, i think he was too, like he wasn't making his usual faces. and, you know, sighing and doing the things that sometimes he. >> could have stood. >> up, could have done. >> yeah. he could have stood up and walked away. >> he sat there. >> and and yeah, he sat. >> there and heard. >> it all. >> it forget about what she said. but abby, if she really wanted to make an impact, if you really wanted to, to move the needle, she should have done that with him face to face. not. she knows his camera's there. she knows she's going to be on cnn. she's playing to the camera the same way donald trump does. if she really wanted to do something at the end, she said, mr. president, can i have a word with you and then hold his hands, just the two of them, and look in his eyes and say, i think there are kids who are afraid. i think there are immigrants. then you actually do something, then you're actually maybe getting to him. yeah. the showmanship way she. >> did it caused. >> a bit. >> of a of a. >> stir. >> for folks who don't know, this was this is the last event of the inauguration ceremonies.

after every. it was one of the events i worked on when i worked on inauguration. after every night after the ball, you have to wake up really early, go to the national cathedral. it is a wonderful service, usually an ecumenical service. um, i am, i was raised episcopalian, so i take offense to how you. >> do you agree with what the church has become? because it's much different now than it was? >> i do, i think that god loves all of his children. so, um, and when i, when i hear preachers, the thing i ask them, one of my favorite songs is speak to my heart, holy spirit. and what i heard her say in her explanation is that she said what was on her heart in that moment, and she could have done it the way some preachers did at the inaugural prayer. you know, fire and brimstone type of prayer. but she didn't. she said, have mercy on people. it was a plea. and he responded, but this is what i love about our country. and this is why democracy is beautiful, is that he is her president, too, and he does not have to agree with her, and he does not have to act on her plea, but he does need to listen to her because

he represents her. and she is allowed to say that because we are in a. >> free country, not pope francis. >> pope francis said things about immigration in just in the last few days that were, frankly, much harsher. >> but what. >> she said. i mean, let's just talk about the substance. i mean, she said, think about the people who are afraid, who are gay, lesbian. i know you don't like to consider transgender people as people, but they are people. i mean, what's wrong with that? isn't that is actually. >> she didn't say that, though. >> no, no, i'm just saying, like, the the reaction that jd vance got was when she said transgender, he turned his head. yeah. and the point that she's making is that people are people. and let's treat them with respect and kindness. i mean, i don't think there's anything wrong with that message. >> people are people. laws are laws. and she was asking him effectively to ignore the immigration laws of the country, which is, i guess, her political preference. and she's also asking him to ignore his own political and personal values, and also to ignore the vast majority of

americans who have a different point of view on these issues. i agree with you. it's her right to say that. i would just say i think she did her church, which is different today than it used to be. no, no favors today. and i don't think she did her political causes any favors today in the way she handled it. >> all right, everyone, stay with me. coming up next, the panel is going to give us a special edition of their nightcaps, looking at what their first executive orders would be. >> kobe was global. people felt his presence. >> kobe. the making of a legend premieres saturday at nine on cnn. >> they are trying to shut down this legal loophole to get 100 milligram generic viagra, or 20mg generic cialis delivered to your door for just $0.87 in less than two minutes. do this first, scan the qr code to go to get friday plans.com. then you select if you need generic
