decide which truth to believe when you have to think. so you're saying. is right well he put it very in artfully i wouldn't have put it he put it i think if he had explained it more carefully that even if you tell the truth you could end up being charged with perjury if somebody else tells a different truth that the prosecutor believes that's the way i would put it alan thank you so much the book is the case against him teaching trump the guess is the felix frankfurter professor of law emeritus at harvard law school thank you so much alan is zero zero zero zero it's a pleasure thank you v well stay right there will have more politicking right after the break.

aeroflot russian airlines. in a world with big partisan newton's laws and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

aeroflot russian airlines. finally you know not but enough that if they can't ever now cause a blip on the part about. wanting you to leave you wouldn't be that easy to the point it can get out at any. price is said thank you plus to people. it is. good that i thought about it but my little bit of

a wonderful not that i don't know but that i'd accept that either money could be no doubt much better played but i'm not going to get but if. this is to learn to play the rules. somebody to. see. you can be no problem. going back to politicking with the metaphor of conviction in the michael calling pleading guilty to charges related to money he spent on behalf of trump during the twenty six dean campaign many democratic lawmakers are calling for a delay in this court nomination hearings of brett kavanaugh which is scheduled to

begin sometime before there are calls however being a norgay ignored by the role of republicans let's talk about that and more with david jolly former republican representative from florida james temple what do you make of the democrats calling to hold to the supreme court hearing for kavanaugh until all this blows over. while looks are t.j. larry it is the best argument they've got and they're tool box right now. suggest that this is a president who might be facing some type of legal culpability or liability the recent plea deal by michael cohen might touch on donald trump i think that could be assumed at this point so if you're a democrat opposed to the nomination of kavanagh this is your best argument to the american people to delay it at the end of the day though the votes simply aren't there republicans control the senate and if they stand as a bloc in favor of kavanagh he likely will be confirmed and all this is in the

shadow of the merrick garland delay orchestrated by mitch mcconnell i mean you really are seeing a power play by republican senators to control the court right now putting on your lawyer had some legal experts suggest that my glucose deal makes the president and unindicted coconspirator. i would agree with those who say that and very importantly about the michael cohen deal is this is happening in the southern district of new york this is not happening happening now as part of the bob miller investigation so even if the mole investigation were to be shuttered even if trump were to try to intervene in the investigation the southern district of new york case against michael cohen continues and what was most damning yesterday was that michael cohen confirmed that he made these payments to stormy daniels and to others with the knowledge of donald trump's involvement at the direction of donald trump

and frankly donald trump has come out since the plea deal and said yes he reimbursed michael cohen with personal funds why that matters is cohen and prosecutors and a federal judge all agreed this week that a crime had been committed and donald trump has now suggested he was part of that crime so the idea that he is today an unindicted coconspirator i think is a is an accurate description of the president out of state you tweeted that trump is done. how do you mean i believe yes. i believe he is i think the validity of his presidency from here on out will always remain in question but i i actually think we may be seeing a bit of the unraveling of this presidency and what i mean by that is it will be hard for donald trump to escape culpability coming out of the cohen case at the same time under the moeller investigation this week we saw the man afford conviction which though not directly touching donald trump the actual conviction we

know that man a for male timidly end up cooperating if he's offered the opportunity to do so by miller very importantly this week larry very importantly bob muller's team asked for a delay in sentencing for michael flynn which means michael flynn is continuing to cooperate with bob mueller as well what we. no has happened up to this point is the president and states has engaged in behavior that meets the threshold of impeachment that was used for bill clinton had a likelihood of a republican congress actually abiding by that threshold is slim but we could see the house flip in november and all bets are off. david your republican. colleagues former colleagues more and more of them standing up to trump. so they are clinging to power and they have a decision right now to make whether or not to continue to insulate donald trump or not you know there are

a lot of questions even today whether or not impeachment charges a bill against bill clinton went too far or not there are arguments on both sides but what you did see is the democrats on the hill surround bill clinton and stand by him even suggest that trying to impeach bill clinton was undermining the election that the american people voiced their choice for for bill clinton republicans up to now have suggested they're standing with donald trump as this continues to unravel they're going to have a decision to make whether they go down with him or not i think everything we've seen to date suggests that republicans on capitol hill are going to stick with this president i think it's going to end poorly for both the president and his party someone said against him in the middle of things they have a new and shoot somebody in any of his base is that still hold. i think it does he wouldn't lose his base but what he has miscalculated is it would be a crime and under the criminal code he is subject to a court system not to the political system if this president has committed

a crime even even if indictment has to be deferred till he leaves office the reality is the wheels of justice may grind slowly but they they do grind exceedingly fine and they will catch up with this president politically he holds to his base of about thirty five percent i think november will be a litmus test on whether or not independents remain supportive of this president i anticipate if you were to look at the numbers right now republicans are going to have a very bad november and it is soley because of donald trump's identity and his imprint on the party today heard in iowa first degree murder charges filed against a twenty four year old undocumented immigrant for alleged killing molly to bits. will lose in will lose even provide a lightning rod for trying to deflect. look trump and the republicans broadly going in november really can only talk about border security

and build the wall it is a base argument that seems to always work they can't talk about obamacare repeal they can't talk about a tax bill that's becoming increasingly unpopular so they will talk about about border security and they will play up people's fears and the story line out of ohio is a perfect example the individual who murdered this young woman frankly his nationality the status of his immigration was not a factor in his decision to brutally murder this woman he is a cold hearted murderer who should be held accountable for that regardless of his immigration status the reality is there are more u.s. citizens committing murders than there are those who are here without proper documentation but the president and his party will choose to focus not on the murder itself but on his his immigration status as a way to scare the american people believe it is those things you've done today. good to be with you thank you larry in july of this year brett kavanaugh was

nominated by donald trump to replace retiring supreme court justice anthony kennedy there has been a push by democratic lawmakers of many progressive groups to block kavanagh's confirmation with many stating that his placement on the high court would put a woman's right to choose in jeopardy one such group operates under the banner rise up for oh they're planning a series of marches at events with speakers like senator elizabeth warren cecile richards and actress alyssa milano laura is one of the leaders of the movement she is a journalist and columnist and she joins us from denver what do you is what are you asking people to do in this rising up movement lauren. hi larry thank you so much for having me we are fighting against the attack on reproductive rights for prove that this is justice and what he will mean in terms of not just the question of

overturning roe but guiding it however given the news of the past twenty four hours i feel that this conversation is one that all americans need to have with their son of ours for cardless of ideology we have a president who is now an alleged coconspirator to a federal crime and the idea of how even entertaining a confirmation hearing of his nominee who by the way does not believe that a sitting president can be indicted is not something that any of our senators should even begin to entertain following a meeting with cavanaugh on tuesday republican senator susan collins who's not made up her mind yet told reporters the judge agree that roe versus wade is set whole law why did they get that. you know larry settled precedent and lot of the land and these kind of code words that not only cavanagh is using but some of the senators who are meeting with them are using is

frankly treating americans as if they're idiots the supreme court is the thing that sets precedent and pret cavanagh has not had the ability to overrule precedent with his past roles as a judge if he becomes justice make no mistake roe will be god it reproductive rights at the state level will begin to disintegrate even more than they already have and in many places right now abortion is legal in name only there are so many women who does not have an actual choice areas where being a wealthy woman means you can get access and drive say two hundred miles to the one point five clinic in your state or take off of work or get child care for the children you already have poor women women of color and women who are more marginalized than already just being women and a woman and what that means in this country don't really have an actual choice about abortion as things stand and brett kavanaugh will further just disintegrate a woman's right to choose whether or not that means overturning roe isn't even the

question but on top of all of that he's nominated by a president who promised to nominate a justice who would overturn roe so i think we have all the information we need there seventy percent of americans should roll. to me. so it's very that's the thing the court needs to be responsive to the people i don't understand why it is even a question whether roe would come up for debate you're right the majority of the country supports a woman's rights to choose and also the majority of the country does approves of brett kavanaugh this is the least popular supreme justice nominee of his in history he's less popular than robert bork and harriet miers and if those of you watching don't know those names exactly they were not confirmed to the court you know we deserve as americans a court that is responsive to public opinion and our senators need to listen to

what the majority of americans feel and not just shove through rush through this confirmation hearing on september fourth when we will not even have a full national archives review of brett kavanaugh its records until october on that basis alone this confirmation hearing should not be happening in september do you think democrats should doing enough. never larry never but i do think that i'm seeing a calculus change on this and i guess what i would say is there's a sense of inevitability around the supreme court around american government in general a sense of alienation that your individual voice doesn't have enough of the say and i would argue that is the case i wish you could say i could say it wasn't true but we can come together and build to collective power the people who don't want this confirmation to go through who don't believe this president deserves at all a supreme court nomination of any kind that we have the numbers and we need to change the calculus so that it costs our senators more to vote yes then to vote no

and a change is happening we're moving the needle i believe this is the most fundamental progressive fight of our time and also that it is winnable we just need all the democrats and one republican that the idea that republicans can only lose one vote this is absolutely a winnable fight it's going to take a lot of effort but i think we need to leave it all on the field here anybody who cares about building a truer more equitable democracy whether you're concerned about donald trump embrace of authoritarianism or his lack of compassion for the marginalized all of that is at stake in this fight so even when there is a lot of dumpster fires raging and ongoing issue of understanding where to focus our energy i believe it comes down to this and that these next few weeks are crucial and that this confirmation hearing absolutely should not even be happening and the question of him being firm to comes down to every american showing up and speaking to their senators because we deserve a court that reflects the public will and not this man's will for decades this is a thing that cannot be undone thank you. thank you so much laundered thanks so much

for being with us and thank you for joining me on this edition of politicking and then we can join the conversation on my facebook page or tweet me of kings things and don't forget to use the politicking hash tag and that's all for this edition of politicking. teraflops russian headlines. you know world big partisan new digs a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that

a sophisticated hacking attack d.n.c. just confirm the n.b.c. news it is alerted authorities to an attempted it had all their voter file and the takeaway really is if this continues to be a major issue any attack on a political party or campaign is important for us all to take seriously but this is the important bit after all the assumptions were made later on whedon's they d.n.c. admitted the so-called atomic wasn't functioning in a security test it was initiated by the michigan branch of the party would simply didn't coordinate things with the main office the branch chief say it's donald trump's refusal of the crackdown on foreign interference that spurred them to action and best to give reporter dave lindorff say the election tampering claims are being exaggerated. the meddling issue is. first of all i think has been overblown in the first case you know when they found evidence.

in the russian. organizations that were buying ads and things on facebook it was such a tiny amount during the two thousand and sixteen election that it was laughable so you know i think most people most sensible people realize that the election in two thousand and sixteen was not significantly impacted by meddling it was affected dramatically by a really bad candidate running a really bad campaign in. popular accommodation service irby and b. is supposed to be there to help you find a comfortable place to stay writes or run the globe the owner of the flats or personally chooses him he or she would like to host whoever that aspect of the business has raised the issue of people being denied booking because of their names or profile pictures in front of journalist marouane who has north african roots sais that when he tried to book an apartment in moore say his reservation was
