12:04 pm
what a family! [applause] and miriam is a doctor, a great doctor. she does not have to be a doctor. you can trust me, her husband does not need the money. but she devotes her life. it is the most important thing to her to addiction. and every time she learned something new. and there is still plenty to learn, but she will call me and tell me what they are learning about in addiction and the job that you do, miriam, what you have done, sheldon, just overall is incredible. [applause] really good. two great people, just great people. and they like a place called israel very much, would you say that is correct? maybe i have to use love a place called israel, and your case. thank you as well to las vegas
12:05 pm
mayor carolyn goodwin for being here, great job. [applause] and also the tireless advocate, because carolyn has been involved with criminal justice reform along with jared kushner, who has been very, very much involved. i don't know. [applause] i think jared, i am starting, where is jared? thank you, jared. he does a lot. he works hard. but that is working out very well, carolyn, isn't it? working for everybody, tremendous support. and we had liberal support. we had conservative support. they came to me and they needed help. and we got help from some unexpected places, votes. we needed boats. we have some great people, republicans in all cases in this case, but we have some great people devote for for criminal justice reform. in fact, very conservative republicans, so that was a good
12:06 pm
sign, very bipartisan. and it was a terrific thing. and we really did something that they have been trying to do for a long time. and we got it done. we get a lot of things done. a lot of things done. [applause] you see a lot of press back there, so before we go any further, i want to address today's sentencing of a man, roger stone, roger stone, he has become a big part of the news over the last little while, and i am following this very closely, and i want to see it play out to its fullest, because roger has a very good chance of exoneration, in my opinion. i have known [applause] and you people understand it probably better than anybody in the room. i have known roger stone and his wife who is a really terrific woman for a long time. and roger is definitely a character. every buddy sort of knows roger.
12:07 pm
and most people like him. some people probably don't. but i do and i always have. he is a smart guy. he is a little different. but those are sometimes the most interesting. he is a good person. his family is fantastic. he has a fantastic family. and there is always a reason for that, isn't there? roger was never involved in the trump campaign for president. he was not involved. i think early on long before i announced he may have done a little consulting work or something, but he was not involved when i ran for president. and he is a person who again, he knows a lot of people having to do with politics. his whole life is politics. that's what he is. and it is my strong opinion that the four women of the jury, the woman who was in charge of the jury is totally tainted when you
12:08 pm
take a look. how can you have a person like this? she was an anti-trump activist, you would not know about a bad jury? anybody know? these people know more about bad juries than anybody here including the sheriff aaron the mayor. they know about bad juries. we are not going to say too much. let's not say it in front of more cameras and this. but you are my experts, okay. but this is a woman who was an anti-trump person, totally. i don't know if this is a fact. but she had a horrible social media accounts, the things that she said on the accounts were unbelievable. she did not reveal that when she was chosen. and she is i guess, from what i hear a very strong woman and dominant person, so she can get people to do whatever she wants, and she got on and became the four woman on the jury, and i
12:09 pm
assume that they asked her a question, do you have any bias? she did not say that, so is that a defrauding of the court? you tell me. but does this undermine our fair system of justice? how can you have a person like this? did she delete her social account? and when roger was determined by the same jury to be guilty before the judge issued a sentence, and he was determined to be guilty, and she started going a little wild. she was very happy. and she started saying things that people said, that is strange. that is strange. and then they started looking in. how can you have a jury poll tainted so badly? it is not fair. and you know, it is not happening to a lot of other
12:10 pm
people. because you can look, i want to name names, but everybody knows who i'm talking about. what is happening over there? nobody. nobody. there are people that are even in roger stone's basic business of politics that are going to be in big trouble. while no people, the biggest known people, they were forced to leave their firm. one man was forced to leave his firm and he was going to -- bad things were going to happen. and nothing happened. nothing happened. he was the biggest, nothing happened. but it happened to roger stone.l flynn. and it happened to, i won't name names, but it happened to a lot of people and destroyed a lot of people's lives. i am here to make a fair system. again, he is not somebody who worked on my campaign.
12:11 pm
i know roger better than a lot of people know roger, everybody kind of knows roger. and what happened to him is unbelievable. they say that he lied. but other people lied too. just to mention comey lied. ml1 ccabe lied. her lover, peter strzok lied. you don't know who these people are, just trust me, they all lied. [laughter] you have people that forged documents, you have people that wrote fake dossiers and brought them to the fbi and used people in the justice department to get them to the fbi. and these people know in the front row, you know better than anybody in this room what the hell i am talking about,
12:12 pm
probably. i'm not even talking to the folks out there. but they get a better than anybody too. a lot of bad things are happening. we are cleaning it out. we are cleaning the swamp, we are draining the swamp. i just never knew how deep the swamp was. so if this woman was tainted, i hope that the judge will find that she was tainted. and if she is not, that will be fine too. but i'm not going to do anything in terms of the great powers bestowed upon a president of the united states. i want the process to play out. i think that is the best thing to do. because i would love to see roger exonerated, and i would love to see it happen. they talk about witness tampering. but the man that he was tampering did not seem that much of a problem with it. you would think that they know each other for years. it's not like the tampering that i see on television when you watch a movie.
12:13 pm
that is called tampering. weaving guns to people's heads and other things. so we will see what it is. maybe it was tampering and maybe there wasn't. but i can tell you that it was tremendous lying, really, lying and leaking classified documents, that you don't know about, but they leaked classified documents. you know, there was a young sailor who took pictures of an old submarine and sends them to his mother and a friend, and it destroyed his life. i let him out. they were considered classified. now russia and china, i guarantee you they have the pictures of the submarine, for a long time. the submarine was like 30 years old. they had them in the first year. they did not have to wait for the 30th year. but this is a famous story. and they had these pictures, and
12:14 pm
they put him in jail. he sends them to his mother and his friend. his friend was not interested in what you are thinking. and there are many other cases where documents were leaked, even accidentally. it is so classified documents are so important that even if they are leaked accidentally, hillary clinton leaked more classified documents than any human being, i believe in the history of the united states of america. right? and she deleted 33,000 emails. and she said, oh, and by the way, if you'd do it, five years, may be more. but you would never have access to classified, very few people have access. she deleted 33,000 emails. i kept waiting. because you know, they can talk
12:15 pm
benghazi or 100 different things. what people understand is when you get rid of this kind of evidence so the united states congress said they subpoenaed her. they wanted to see the emails. after getting the subpoena she deleted 33,000 emails. and they said, you remember this? yes, the emails were about her yoga classes and her exercising and her daughter's wedding. 33,000 about her daughter's wedding, that must have been the greatest wedding of all time. and nothing happened to her. and yet, they will put a young sailor in an old submarine with a picture, a couple of pictures, they will put him into jail. and i pardoned him, because it was unfair that she was able to do it at the highest level, and
12:16 pm
his level wasn't, what he did was, it was confidential. confidential is a much lower class than classified. so i tell you this, because it is interesting. this is part of our nation and what is going on now. so i'm going to let this process play out and we want to have a great and fair court system. and i hope that you had a fair and wonderful court system. but perhaps you didn't. perhaps you didn't. and if you didn't, we want to straighten it out. but we have to straighten it out also at the top level. so we have a lot of dirty cops, fbi is phenomenal. i love the people in the fbi. but the people at the top were dirty cops. and if you would have read the reports written about james comey, 78 pages of kill with a reference of go get him, they really said it.
12:17 pm
go get him. and then he read about andrew mccabe. and you see what they said, so bad. and we're just waiting. i'm not doing anything. i'm just sitting here, standing here talking to you. we are waiting. so i just want to let the fake news media no that, i just want to let them know, because there are a few people that are more dishonest than these people. i will tell you that. and you have some very good on ones. a hell of a lot more dishonest then you in the audience worry. but we will watch the process and watch it very closely. and at some point i will make a determination. but roger stone and everybody has to be treated fairly. and this has not been a fair process. okay? thank you. [applause] so when i ran for president i
12:18 pm
pledged to fight for those who have been forgotten, neglected, overlooked, and ignored by politicians in our nation's capital, and you understand that very well. for decades no one was more forgotten then citizens coming out of prison who were ready to go into a brand-new beautiful start, but could not find a job. they could not find people who believed in them. and one of the great things that happened is i and my administration a lot of talented people that work with me, we created the strongest economy in the history of her country. we have the best unemployment numbers. [applause] the best unemployment numbers for african-american, best in history. asian american, best in history. hispanic-american, best in history. our country is booming. we have never done better. so when people come out as an example yourselves, you are going to get great jobs. i will tell you the end result,
12:19 pm
and we have done studies on this, people with businesses are going to hire you. they want you more than you want them. this is the first time this has happened. the first time. [applause] they want you. and they would not have given you that second chance. we call it a second chance. but they would not have given you the second, in some cases third chance. that's okay. but they would not give you the second chance. now they are doing it, b econom. in the end result, employers are calling the numbers that we are getting to the respect that youy cannot believe it. i'd one gentleman, i talked to them, seven people came out of prison in seven people working for him, he said they are among my best -- he said, they are among my best people. he said i cannot believe it. and you know what, sometimes it does not always work out. not everybody is perfect.
12:20 pm
you take a group and there is always going to be somebody who does not work out, but he said, i cannot believe it. he has seven now. they've been with him for quite a while and he said that they are among the best people he has ever employed. he is so happy. it's going to happen with you [applause] it's going to happen with them, what do you think? i think it will happen with this group. so once i came into office, leaders from all different backgrounds asked me to make changes to our criminal justice system and the more that i learned about the issue, the big issue, the more that i knew that criminal justice reform was really not about politics, because he had people that are for and against it on all different levels, republican, democrat, conservative, independent, liberal, some love it, some don't love it. but they are starting to love it. we are having tremendous success with it. it is about doing the right thing. because alice johnson, i've really gotten to know her well. she is an incredible person.
12:21 pm
because of alice, we have just let out three other people that she knew, and i say to people. and you may have references and recommendations when you were, wherever you may have been, frankly. you know some people that were really good people who, alice was in for 22 years, and had another 18 years to serve, and for a crime, but not that kind of a crime, and i learned about alice johnson, and when i learned, it really was something special. she is an incredible woman. she came out of prison, you have seen the whole thing. we did a commercial on her. i did the commercial for people to see what this is all about. she came out, you could not hire an actor in hollywood to have the emotion and the love and the tears and everything. she came out and she saw her family, who had totally grown up without her.
12:22 pm
and some big strong young men. to some wonderful women. just the whole family. and she was grabbing them and they were all hugging and kissing outside of this massive prison wall. and they were just screaming with joy. it was an incredible thing to see. you could not do it, it had to be natural. it had to come from the heart. it had to come from the heart. so i said to alice and other people and i will say to you, and i will say to you. you are going to have some recommendations. do you think i am making a mistake with him? what do you think? [audience reaction] >> bill: we got the news from the president in las vegas pretty talking at the hope for prisoners graduation ceremony, a nonprofit that helps convicts reenter serve society. they have a remarkable level of accomplishment in that program. but the comment about roger stone is what will get the headlines, there is a very good
12:23 pm
chance the president said at exoneration saying though for woman is totally tainted. this on a day where the judge had sentenced stone to 40 months behind bars. now with bret baier in washington, washington politics of thisbut he has made it cleare president has amoment ago that l system is not fair. >> yes, i think the president is clear that he is not going to pardon roger stone at this point. he says he will let the process play out in that it may lead to exoneration as you point out, he points out the concerns about the jury for woman and whether the judge may order a new trial. the judge has not indicated that she is moving down that road as of yet, although she is taking up the defense asked for a new
12:24 pm
trial, we are told, 40 months was more like what attorney general barr wanted rather than the prosecutors in this case. so in that case, the sentence was scaled back from what they originally went with. >> bill: let's go-to guy lewis, when the sentencing arrives, is that days or weeks away? you say he should not be sentenced until the motion for a new trial is resolved. that kind of makes sense, is that where we are headed? >> i think that the judge got it kind of backwards, bill. she should have handled the motion for new trial first and then if she denied it, and by the way, i don't think it should be denied. it is a well-founded motion for new trial. but if indeed she did deny edits, then i think she should have gone to sentencing. in this case she did it backwards. i don't really understand why. >> bill: what about the 40 months? did she get it in the middle of all of this back and forth over the past week, did she get it right now? >> bill, as a former prosecutor, i think the 40 months is
12:25 pm
actually the sweet spot of the bad. and i cannot falter at all. in fact, when you look at it. doesn't it vindicate a bill barr? doesn't it say that hey, the 7-9 years that the original prosecutors had wanted was out of line? and bill barr was right to step in. >> bill: okay, in a week where you had all the commutations from yesterday, sprung from cruise mag prison this week, he is really making a statement. i guess the way to understand it is if you turn it around from his perspective, he just went through all of the russian matter, and he sees a corrupt justice system, clear from his remarks a moment ago as well. >> which is why he mentioned james comey and andrew mccabe saying that they lied under oath. he goes down a list and says that to this has been a raw deal in the two tiered system.
12:26 pm
he is really on the politics side of things playing the alice johnson card, which was the commutation that led to the super bowl ad that he referenced. and this is part of a pitch for prison reform that he is talking about today. that they really, the trump campaign believes can make headway in the african-american community is moved two, three points off of democrats traditional loyal voters. >> bill: in an election year. guy, should the prosecutor resign in that case? >> i have to tell you, bill. i am very troubled by their conduct. you are telling me a week, ten days before sentencing, because one of their bosses says, hey, i disagree with your sentencing recommendation, and because they don't like the referee's call, they quit the game and walk away? i don't like it one bit. i think that they should face
12:27 pm
disciplinary and proceedings and sanctions. from the department of justice. >> bill: is this clearing things up for the american people this week, guy? or is it still muddy? >> i think what it tells us, bill, is that to the president, if you had any question that he is ready, willing, and able to pardon stone, put that doubt aside. if you thought that he might not pardon general flynn, put that doubt aside. he will do it pretty does not like the way these things have unfolded and is ready to act. >> bill: so you go for all three, bret? >> i think he is on a roll and is talking like he has the defense of the ability to do that. he will let it play out. i will make one more point. the prosecutors today were meant commending more than the judge eventually came back with, 40
12:28 pm
months. so this is the second team of prosecutors, which was kind of a revolt of itself. she ended up going with what attorney general barr scaled-back two. >> bill: thank you both, the president speaking in las vegas, we will let you know what is happening in nevada, you have a caucus coming up this saturday. looking at some numbers from 2016 in nevada paired hillary clinton won the state by five percentage points over bernie sanders. this is up for grabs on saturday. a lot of boats coming down here in clark county where you find las vegas and where hillary clinton found a lot of love. while shu county is up in the northwest, that's where you will find reno and that's where bernie sanders turned the tables on hillary clinton four years ago. there is early voting for the first time in the caucus. and this is what the numbers look so far. as of thursday they have today, tomorrow, saturday. but right now and early voting the report numbers of 75,000. right in line with 2016.
12:29 pm
the record that they had was about 118,000 back in 2008. they might with a good turnout on saturday get to this number coming up this weekend. i want to bring in megan messerli, reporter for the nevada independent. thank you for your time. you have been putting out politics for some time. to some concern the ipad system is more your work or whether you will have a repeat of iowa, what is your sense on this thursday? >> yes, two days out from the caucus talking to volunteers today who feel more comfortable than they did in the wake of iowa, when it had the democrats that were scrapped with the accolades they'd been planning to use, responsible for the iowa app, so those are no longer being used in nevada democrats that have come up with a google form based ipad calculator tool that they will be using. the importance is that that is you mentioned, we have had for
12:30 pm
early voting for four days, that tool will bring in the early voting data to be counted just as if those early caucus goers were in person on caucus day. it supposed to be seamless. >> bill: no guarantee, we await that. how much attention was given to this debate last night? >> i think all eyes were on the debate given that the caucus is upon us. i think that the really interesting dynamic of the debate was that mike bloomberg was on the stage for the first time. we saw a lot of incoming for him on the debate stage since it was his first time being there. the interesting thing is that mike bloomberg is not on the ballot as an option in nevada. he did not file to be part of nevada's caucus. >> bill: he is not campaigning out there obviously either. have the others? when you look at iowa and new hampshire and the amount of time they gave those states, what is the level of time and attention now? >> obviously it is all eyes on
12:31 pm
nevada. candidates have spent various amounts of time in the state depending on where they take their campaign. pete buttigieg spent a bunch of time in iowa just to get his name recognition up to be present in the race. and then when he was, he was able to spend more time here and build a staff era. bernie sanders has been here since the beginning. a strong operations. the same with elizabeth warren. >> bill: you are about to say that you talk to some voters on bloomberg, what did they have to say? >> i've been talking to some voters, bloomberg is not trying to target nevada, but his national ads are bleeding over. and people are disappointed that they are not able to vote for him. some are turning to tom steyer, some amy klobuchar, some joe biden. and i think that speaks to the presence he has had in the race nationally and how it is sneaking into nevada even though he is not campaigning here. >> bill: three days, we will see how it goes, nice to see you. much more on the battle for nevada when ari fleischer and

12:37 pm
"the new york post," black and bloom. here's what some folks on super tuesday saw this morning. dallas morning news, skewered the first appearance, and winston-salem, under fire. these are states where he was all in. and until then, many voters only knew him from the television ad. i want to bring in the panel. ari fleischer, and mary anne marsh. hello to both of you, are you getting the honors, pick your winner or loser from last night. >> the winner is bernie, he continues to soar. nobody is stopping him. and the loser is mike bloomberg who proves that to the beatles are right when they say money can't buy you love. he has walked, he bombed and that performance last night. there is no other way to say it. >> bill: wow, i saw some of your tweets, you do not hold back. marianne, your winner and loser? size it up.
12:38 pm
>> elizabeth warren was the winner. she used the debate to show voters that she is the one who can take on trump by taking out mike bloomberg. and to prove to everyone who watches that mike bloomberg was more like donald trump and not the guy that could be donald trump. i agree with ari, believe it or not. the big loser was michael bloomberg. for truth in advertising, people saw mike bloomberg not of the 400 million tv ads, they saw the real mike bloomberg who could not answer any questions about his treatment of women, people of color, releasing women from ndas, stop and frisk, or releasing his taxes. not because he did not prepare, they are no good answers. >> bill: a quick end to bloomberg, is that what you said? >> mhmm. >> bill: has all the ratings, 10 million more viewers watch this debate in the last one, that tells me that there was curiosity in last nights debate. people wanted to see what mike
12:39 pm
bloomberg could do or not do. and here's the headline, mike bloomberg for rescue and the debate, his performances may have stumped, but he inspired rivals to some of their best performances so far. to mr. ari fleischer, sir, i say to you, did he bring out the best in the others? >> he and the fact that it is now survival time did bring out the best and the others, but you have to face it, and giving material to work with when it comes to the record. it does not state and a democratic primary, and if i were mike bloomberg, playing defense where he knew that he would get attacked, he never opened an offensive. he never really except for one shining moment on capitalism explain how he is a different democrat. he is the modded moderate democrat, and that was the biggest failure. it was bad enough that he got beaten up and never responded effectively, but he never took advantage of being on the stage to articulate what he was and
12:40 pm
what his vision was. >> bill: do you agree that his campaign is over? >> no, that is calling the game and the second inning. you have enough money to buy more innings. >> bill: [laughs] a lot of that. what do you think about the point of level of curiosity? when you look at the tv ratings. despite the free-for-all on stage, and the colleagues had to corral them more than they really needed to. if you had to stop him, and make a thoughtful comment about an issue or individual, there was no time for that. because you had piranhas on your right and left who were going to -- they were going to go after your face. >> well, a couple of things, bill hemmer, mark bloomberg, he is never going to do any better. he could spend 400 million on top of the 400 he spent, and now people have seen the real bloomberg. that's why they tune in. he is the 800-pound gorilla
12:41 pm
looming out that everybody is waiting for on super tuesday and they did not -- he looks like "the wizard of oz." he was the little guy on the stool and pulled the curtain back. not the guy on tv. and he had little interest in the debate rolling his eyes, not wanting to be held accountable. and i don't see how you come back from that. yes, he could spend more and more money, but voters will take less and less seriously. as for everybody else, we are down to the short game. and if bernie sanders goes as well as he might do on super tuesday, he could put this away on super tuesday. which is why you saw the fight between klobuchar and buttigieg, one has to drop before the other to prevail. and you know where the race stands by who fought with whom last night. >> bill: there was raw too, a debate in south carolina, you can make the case that they set the bar low for himself, i mean, bloomberg, based on your description, he only has room to grow next tuesday.
12:42 pm
