nixon got 49 .6%.kennedy had won the popular vote by about 114,000 votes, are less than one half vote for precinct. think about that, you just get one more person per precinct to change that. of course, it's all about the electoral college. in the electoral college, kennedy did better, winning 303-219 with states rights democrats, senator harry byrd of virginia, picking up 15 electors, including one republican who bolted from nixon. the extremely popular president dwight eisenhower had been term limited out after two terms. during 1960, there had been intense speculation about who would be the next president. in this talk, i will examine first the republican side, and then the fight for the emocratic nomination, and then finally the general election. republicans had a problem with 1960. the problem was this. half of americans called themselves democrats. only one third called themselves republicans, and 1/6 independents. republicans, however, were much more competitive, because much of the south remain

nixon had no southern ties. point, lbj made the crudely but effectively as his train pulled out of culpeper, virginia. putting on a thick southern "what hasson wailed, dick nixon ever done for culpeper?" and the answer was not think shortly after the democratic national convention, the democratic congress passed a special law that allowed for presidential debate for the first time during the year 1960. the next presidential debate, however, would not take place until 1976. interesting. both nixon and kennedy were eager for the debate. four were set. neither party wanted vice presidential debates. the parties were anxious for the debates because the price of advertising had soared since 1956. also, the debates were generating a much larger audience than one candidates paid speech. eisenhower, however, advised nixon not to debate kennedy, because he said it would only elevate kennedy to the level of the vice president. nixon, however, had been a champion debater in college and was certain he could beat kennedy. af

nixon. nixon was a party guy, an animal. you know, to me nixon was a caricature, unfortunately.w, 10 years old, walking around the house, you know, just -- b-b-b-b-b, i am not a crook. now i have a much more complex view of the man and his presidency. >> president nixon created a brand new federal department, the environmental protection agency. >> the question who is richard nixon is almost imponderable. i looked at him as one of really the great minds that has ever really been in the presidency. he had achieved some extraordinary breakthroughs. i mean, his opening to china. detente with the soviet union. >> the sad truth is i think nixon would by today's standards be considered maybe a conservative democrat. maybe at some levels a radical leftist. [ phone ringing ] >> hello? >> here's one of the men around the president we don't hear much about. alex butterfield, deputy assistant, who handles much of the paperwork. >> my first meeting, i can't tell it without acting it. nixon came out from behind his desk and looked very tentative. he had no idea what to do. so he began to ges

nixon? ms. nixon: yes, i agree. we cannot force them into shelters, and the city can make a bigger investment, and the state can make a bigger investment in ending homelessness, but we have such a large homelessness situation because we have a housing crisis, and i do not think it is any coincidence that we have one wethe largest housing crises have ever seen in this state when the number one country bitter to andrew cuomo's campaigns -- the number one contributor to andrew cuomo a positive campaigns are real estate firms, and we need to not only renew the rent laws when they expire next year but to strengthen them and to expand them, because, frankly, gentrification is pushing them out, particularly black and brown people out of the community as they have grown up in, and it is a tremendous problem, and we need rent protections, not just for buildings built before 1974 and with the regulations now that across the state. it is the number one issue that people upstate, downstate talk to me about. 30 seconds.mo: there

nixon.johnson also got word october 28 from fbi cia wiretaps that nixon was in fact not only telling the south vietnamese about negotiations but also they would get a better deal from him with the north vietnamese. they just sent the conduit to say you are playing dirty pool. cut it out. eventually october 31st he got word and called up dirksen and said what nixon was doing and this is treason and dirksen responded to say i know. lbj did nothing about it or demand that nixon do anything and he called him the next day and said i would never do any third one - - anything to slow negotiations but when humphrey was briefed by the assistant secretary about what the nixon campaign was doing, humphrey new it was too late there was nothing he could do and when johnson told him we've got it on tape but i don't have hard proof that he knew what he was telling him that if you say anything i will not give you the tapes and anything humphrey would say would be regarded as a desperation move. so long stor

i wondered if you had an exhibit at the nixon library about pat nixon. wow, she had some interesting travel she did around the world, effortsth et cete efforts, et cetera. there was mention of al burl son, i have to bring him up one more time. ellen wilson, who preceded edith wilson, the first first lady of woodrow wilson, when burleson is the postmaster, when he does all of those things to shut down the press and the post and all of this, ellen pointed out to him -- some might know, she was concerned about the fate and plight of workers because they were not in safe conditions, especially the women workers. she point she asked the colonel to tell burleson. the message was never carried on because she was dismissed and didn't seem important and all of this. i think on the theme of inclusivity and finding new places where we can explore, we need to kind of draw on all the things you're talking about. to think of the future, how will it look if we didn't care about women and working women and african-americans who are working and women and all of these thi

john bemis nixon. yeah i mean that's it is an interesting point you made could be were i don't want to go with too much detail here with this but do you think that the president's former personal attorney michael cohen and his lawyer lanny davis do you think they will prove key to finding the truth about the trump presidency and you know i think it will be very important in terms of crimes like. you know people before an election keep them quiet to affect an election. one is already pled guilty to that and set the truck was involved in order that yet that's all proven criminal activity whether or not colin knows about the russian collusion is a different story and as you know any davis has said one thing and have walked it back a little bit so that's less. going to be very important to the overall structure of what was going on within trucks you know. i want you to take a listen to what woodward said when asked about the president's accusation that woodward's quotes from top officials are simply fabric

and now that he there is an exhibit at the nixon library about pat nixon and she had some interesting travel around the world, et cetera. but in the meacham discussion there was a mention of alvin burleson and i have to bring him up, because maybe it is microhistory, but it is an interesting story. you may remember that ellen wilson who preceded edith wilson and when burleson is the postmaster and does all of the things to sort of shutdown the press and the post, and ellen pointed out that she was concerned about the fate and the plight of the workers in the government, because they were not in safe conditions. she pointed out that many of the women who worked in the national postal office in washington were getting tuberculosis, and she pointed it out to the colonel howe, and said to tell through burleson to wilson, and it did not carry on, because it was dismissed and did not seem important, but on the seed of inclusivity and finding the places that we can explore, we need to draw on all of the things that you are talking about with the archives and in the future, how would it look

jonty most nixon. yeah i mean that's it is an interesting point you make could be were i don't want to go into too much detail here with this but do you think that the president's former personal attorney michael cohen and his lawyer lanny davis do you think they will prove key to finding the truth about the trump presidency. and you know i think very important in terms of minds life. you know people were not lashing quiet to that and lash out my comment is already pled guilty to that and sent the truck was involved in the murder. yet that's all proven. criminal activity whether or not someone knows russia pollution is a different story and as you know the davis has said one thing you have walked it back a little bit so that's less. bearing to the overall structure what was going on we couldn't trust you. i want you to take a listen to what woodward said when asked about the president's accusation that woodward's quotes from top officials are simply fabrications take a listen they are not telling the t

yeah i think that the strongest similarity is the impulsiveness nixon present people invaded cambodia actor in the vietnam war over over a one day decision that he made he didn't consult him very impulsive it true the country upside down with kent state shootings student said university here in the united states so that impulsive activity is one of the things that we show through the case but we also show nixon saying repeatedly the press is the enemy the presses the end it's acting the press you know also having an enemies list those are very much in the works area and here that operates it and before we run out of time do you see the trial presidency headed towards some type of ending similar to what richard nixon experience and you know we have the midterms coming up and if the democrats if they do succeed in taking the house do you think that impeachment is inevitable. i. will be calling the way it works is the house it sends up incident. the senate has the senate is still republican and you're not going to happen each thing that i see coming out of it is the special prosecutor ha

johnson did like -- not like nixon. is a long-standing animosity going back to 1950 in the senate race when nixon ran against douglas where you just trashed. he didn't forget very easily. .. >> in front row tyler, chief of protocol for president johnson, who was married on bess able who was chief of staff for lady bi bird. >> this yearbook tv marks 20 years of bringing country top nounon fiction authors. >> former secretary of state john kerry discusses his life and career. he is interviewed by former congresswoman jane harman. afterwards a wokely interview program with relevant guest

nixon. that was my position. so my position was, either you're wrong or nixon's wrong, to the clinton lawyers. and that's the context of that comment, the tone of voice there makes the printed words look much different from how they were intended. and i think that's been seriously mischaracterized -- >> and the striking thing about the context, which we've discussed before and i've made clear in a letter i was going to question about, is that phil lackavara, who argued u.s. v. nixon, in a later interview said, he didn't just think you were being provocative. this was some academic give and take with some criminal lawyers. he's been quoted saying that that statement, that perhaps nixon was wrongly decided was brett staking out his jurisprudence approach since law school. it seems lakavara thought you were serious about raising a question about whether u.s. v. nixon was wrongly decided, because what you said at the roundtable, nixon took away the power of the president to control information at the executive branch

at the beginning of nixon's presidency, this was new. nixon hated it. he loathed it. he believed it undermined his ability to control the administration's message. no sooner had he stopped talking then in rest the journalists to tell you what you really heard. two weeks before sending agnew to iowa, he delivered a address on vietnam. he was outraged when stations cut to studios afterward to question his claims and interview his critics. he no longer have the kind of passive aldean -- audience with no outside interference that he believed he should have for a presidential address. when agnew went to iowa weeks later, he ended up not just going after instant analysis, that he attacked the entire news industry. he argued that a democratic society could not function without an informed populace, a well-informed populace. not one misled by half-truths or obfuscation. given that, admin question the wisdom of handing over so much influence when he famously called a close fraternity of privileged men elected by no one. men, agnewset of argued, determined the content of the ni

nixon. this portion is about 90 minutes. . >> before i introduce the next panel and is where the next panel, i want to take the opportunity to give appreciation from the chairman of the committee for our, all the staff work that goes into this. i've been fortunate as a senator to have an outstanding staff over many years, and i hope they know how much i appreciate them , both committee staff and the personal office. before closing this hearing today i'd like the name first is typically assigned to work on his nomination hearing . some are my permanent staff by chief counsel for nominations mike davis and including laura mailer, steve canning, jessica booth and catherine willy. and then others are here only temporarily because we get additional resources when we have a supreme court nominee, so i want to name them and say thank you or their extraordinary work and commitment to public service. the special counsel added specifically for this supreme court nomination were led by andrew ferguson

nixon was wrongly decided? >> i said it was one of the four greatest decisions and correct decisions in terms of the specific regulation at issue in the case, the court's holding in a criminal trial subpoena that the subpoena for the information, the tapes was enforceable in that context. and that's what i said before publicly about the nixon case. >> you would agree that it was correctly decided? did i hear you right? >> of course. when i say it's one -- when i say something is the greatest, that means i agree with it and the point was under the specific regulation at issue in that case, a crime trial subpoena for the information and it was a moment of judicial independence, a moment where the court i think came together as unanimous opinion written by chief justice burger. that's an important moment in the court's history. >> so you'd agree that a court can order a president to produce records or ordered to testify in front of a grand jury? >> i'm not going to answer questions on how to apply u.s. v. nixon. >

versus nixon was correctly decided. a second general point from my submission a very vital proces process.ranking member feinstein stated on the morning of september 4 just before the hearings opened that after participating in nine supreme court confirmations it had never been to get access to background documents as in the current proceeding unsuccessfully in the minority sought to postpone these hearings until all documents were provided by the chair declined to consider the motion to make review possible. this committee is deeply involved in the final phase of vetting the supreme court nominees based on personal experience of rehnquist and studying the confirmation of clarence thomas it is clear there was across the board failure to vet the nominees and the american people. because of withholding the document judge kavanaugh may be traveling the same path as rehnquist and thomas. the rehnquist choice to book that i wrote i ask blaine as those openings that occurred in 1871 and they also reported my discovery during

nixon: when we say black lives matter, we have to mean it. da: the state under her opponent, andrew cuomo, has passed some of the most progressive policies in the nation, but cynthia nixon thinks more has to be done to reverse crippling inequality and guarantee access to education, health care, and jobsms nixon: if you shoot for the moon, you end up in the sky. if you don't try and enact these things, you will never get anywhere. we have to be bold and we haves. to be ambitiou nada: progressives want to push democrats further to the left, and a key part of that is rejecting politics as usual. in their view, establishment politicians are part of the problem, and that has left an opening for a diverse range of candidates to step in. w gov. cuomo: governor of rk is not a job about politics or advocacy. it is about doing, it is about management. this is real life. nada: andrew cuomo has tried to make the race about experience and fighting donald tmp. at this debate watch party, nixon supporters prefer her credentials as a longtime activist. she i

and it was a way to mask and protect nixon and protect people in the nixon campaign and the white house and the attorney general at the time , i remembered this very well, richard climbing went on television and said well, we conducted 1345interviews all over the world . we got it right. it's over. no one else was involved in the original burglars and their two handlers. and there was that sense of well, wait a minute. that's a lot of interviews. a lot of work and they got it wrong. >> so maybe it's not always definitive and it may not always be right. i'm sure everyone here has seen the book on enormous amount of attention and the thing that struck me the most about the book was that i thought that you drew conclusions in a way that you may not have in previous books. you were very critical of how comey handled his interactions with the present president when he briefed him on the dossier. >> can you imagine you are two weeks away from becoming president and the fbi director comes in and there's no way the ghost of j edgar hoover is not far behind. and says by the way, we have this sec

nixon is gone. don't get too full of yourself, and then she said -- beware the demon pomposity and that was really good advice. because there's a lot of pomposity in our business, in politics. even academia, occasionally, and it is the -- it is the crippling force, i think -- and you have to really try to bleep out i love your analogy it is the weather and you can get up and kind of say an awful storm is coming but that doesn't mean you're blaming the creator or it means you're reporting. and i think there's a way to stay on this side of the nonresistance, and to be very empirical and very factual, and because i've done this so many years. sometimes you're just wrong. i thought the ford pardon of -- of nixon was really the last stage of the coverup and i investigated and discovered actually it was an act of courage to let the country move on. so that's very sobering. >> i think one thing that i had always keep in the front of my mind especially with the time pressures that i'm under is i'm always on

nixon's holding. i think going with the ginsburg principle, which is not the ginsburg alone principle but everybody's principle on the current supreme court, and as a matter of judicial independence, i can't give you an answer on the hypothetical question. >> you can't give me an answer on whether a president has to respond to a subpoena from a court of law? >> my understanding is that you're asking me to give my view on a potential hypothetical. that's something that each of the eight justices currently sitting on the supreme court, when they were sitting in my seat, declined to decide, potential hypothetical cases. i can tell you about the us v. nixon precedent. i did about chief justice berger's role, in forging a unanimous opinion. all the justices worked together on that. justice berger, who had been appointed by president nixon, writes the opinion in us v. nixon. 8-0, ordering president nixon to disclose the tapes in response to a criminal trial subpoena. a moment of crisis argument, i think, ju

"helen, how would you like to be maritime administrator?" i said, that is what i want. he said, you will have to get the labor unions with you. i said, that's not a problem. now, i said that because just the night before, i had had a dinner in new york with all of the labor union leaders. all of the steamship, -- steamship presidents, and all of the shipyard people saying , you guys have got to work together or this will go to hell. so i worked. and jesse calhoun of the marine engineers said he would support me.

versus nixon was decided 8-0.e that, the supreme court decided a case, same journalist had to testify. the vote was 5-4. the basic line of both of those votes was that everybody has to give evidence, that no one is above the law that the grand jury is entitled to everybody's evidence. >> i think it's safe to say that i think the entire country is going to be watching what happens on capitol hill with those hearings next week. michael conway, sir, thank you very much. we'll be right back. very much. we'll be right back. arted. show of hands. who wants customizable options chains? ones that make it fast and easy to analyze and take action? how about some of the lowest options fees? are you raising your hand? good then it's time for power e*trade the platform, price and service that gives you the edge you need. alright one quick game of rock, paper, scissors. 1, 2, 3, go. e*trade. the original place to invest online. happy anniversary dinner, darlin'. can this much love be cleaned by a little bit of dawn ultra? oh ye

i called bradley at home at 9:00, on a saturday night, i believe, and i said, nixon taped himself. what should we do? and he said, oh, i wouldn't bust one on it, and it's kind of a b-plus story, and i thought, okay. the boss says b-plus. i won't work on it it. took sunday off, and monday, they called butterfield, and ben said, okay, it's better than a b-plus. >> from that point on, it's a fight for the tapes because they answered the truth. am i telling the truth? is the president telling the truth? what else happened, you know? the prosecutors immediately subpe subsub subpoena the tapes so nixon is early advised to destroy the tapes. here's a trip tip: when you search hotels on tripadvisor... enter your destination and the dates of your stay. tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites... to find the best deal on the right hotel for you. tripadvisor. ayep, and my teeth are yellow.? time for whitestrips. crest glamorous white whitestrips are the only ada-accepted whitening strips proven to be safe and effective. and they whiten 25x better than a leading whitening toothpaste. crest.

resigned, ford became president and then ford pardoned nixon. and what he said was, he was spending 25% of his time, the staff was spending 25% of its time on leftover nixon matters and he needed to spend 100% of his time because the vietnam war was going on, big depression in the country and so forth. i think there has always been this view that there was a deal that if nixon would appoint ford his vice president to replace the resigned vice president, then ford would promise to not -- to save nixon from -- >> the question about your resignation and how that affected you -- >> well, the way it affected me was -- >> you didn't -- you didn't resign? >> no. it's the other way around. >> jerry -- >> resigned. >> jerry resigned. >> he resigned because he disagreed with the pardoned. i was covering the white house . i was covering the white house for nbc and i had covered ford as vice president, i was one of the ford five, travelled all over the country with him in this little two-engine propeller driven airplane. so he asked me -- and i wrote a book

it was really written to deal with spiro agnew, nixon's vice president and not to deal with nixon so they sort of decided we'll go halfway and say a vice president can be indicted, a president can't and it's just a policy decision. what i think the committee will get into with me is what would have happened where u.s. v. nixon where the president was forced to turn over his tapes by the supreme court been decided differently. >> well, that will be fascinating to hear and follow, john dean, thank you very much for your history and expertise. >> thanks, alisyn. president trump wants the author of this op-ed unmasked. up next, a key democrat in congress who says that, in fact, this person should step forward. >>> if you look at this horrible thing that took place today, it's really -- is it subversion? is it treason? it's a horrible thing. you know the good thing about that? even liberals that hate me say that's terrible what they did. and it is really terrible. >> president trump last night talking about the stunning "new york times" op-ed from an unnamed senior administration official

v nixon precedent. and i did about chief justice berger's role in forges a unanimous opinion and really all the justices worked together on that chief justice berger who had been appointed by president nixon writes the opinion in u.s. v nixon, 8-0 rehnquist reduced ordering nixon to disclose the tapes. a moment of crisis argument i think july 8, 1974 they decided two weeks later, really important opinion. moment of judicial independence, important precedent of the supreme court. but how that would apply to other hypothetical thres i best follow the precedent of the nominees who have been here before and as a matter of judicial independence not give you a precise answer on a hypothetical that could come before me. >> i understand. thank you very much for being forthcoming. appreciate it. >> i assume you want to reserve your three minutes? >> can i do that? >> yeah. >> i will. >> senator hatch. >> thank you, mr. chairman. before i begin, i'd like to enter into the court three letters and an op-ed supporti

it smacks of nixon and his war against journ oolism. nixon times 10 right now. >> yeah. on steroids. kirstin, i've been wanted to speak with you as well. you know we often commiserate about these issues. i've been wanting to hear from you. let's reiterate some of this. there is a remedy. impeachment. there is a 25th amendment, the answer isn't supposed to be stealing documents from the president's desk or writing anonymous op eds, is our government failing us right now? >> yeah, i would say so. and i actually am going to have to disagree a little bit with douglas, because i think that the brave thing to do would be to resign and speak publicly. and because this is being done anonymously, you have a whole swath of the population that isn't going to believe it, and they're going to say, this is the new york times, they're just out to get donald trump. and i actually -- i actually don't think the new york times should have done this for the reason i said. it's the type of story you report out and you have multiple sources for. presumably i

nixon presidency in its final days was teetering with an unstable president.t, if you read this book carefully has been teetering from the beginning with an unstable president. >> and there are lots of question about how woodward obtained this information. this is part of what he's said on cbs. this is one thing carl, because he's doing the same thing that you and bob did together during watergate, going to people's homes late at night. listen. >> in one case, i called somebody at 11:00 at night and said i would like to talk. yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get to it. and i said, well, how about now? and he said now? it's 11:00 at night. i said, i'm four minutes away. okay, come over for a while. >> come on over. carl, what can you tell us about woodward's style and his reporting methods? >> the methodology that both of us still use today is what we developed reporting on nixon which is to go to source after source after source who has firsthand information about what he or i is covering and that especially applies to the president of the united states and to confirm

, and nixon's office, unsuccessfully, tried to raise the temp.on's request heated social media wednesday night, with women and men sharing their often polar-opposite office temperature preferences. >> i rt the ld public relns yo thermostat. >> you have summer on one side, and winter on the other side. >> reporter: while some men use desk fans and sported short sleeves, we found some women unndled up and using space heaters. >> women should know that they're not crazy, it's not all in their head. >> reporter: cbs news medical contributor dr. tara narula says there is a science behind why women feel colder. >> it has to do with thermal regulation and metabolic rates and clothing differences. >> reporter: a 2015 study found that most office temperatures are set using a 1960s formula that relies on the metabolic rate of an average man. dr. narula says men tend to be comfortable with a temperature in the low 70s, and women in the mid to high 70s. >> finding a point in the middle where both men and women could both be happy would be the ideal situation

before the house un-american activities committee also known as huac, chaired by chairman richard nixon. whittaker chambers, an editor at time, accused hiss of being a member of a communist cell with a mission influence on the policy of the truman administration. chambers himself admitted to having being a soviet spy in the 1930's, before rejecting communism. hiss, in turn charged chambers with slander, resulting in chambers producing documents that he had smuggled out of the state department to give to the soviets in the 1930's -- that hiss had smuggled out of the state department to give to the soviets in the 1930's. after two widely publicized trials, hiss was convicted of perjury. the statute of limitations on and he wasad expired convicted and went to jail for 44 months. this convinced people that rich, elitist, well educated -- were were subversive and his presence at the all caps in 1925, which was seen by many as the view of betrayal. this case reverberated to this day. in 1978, and historian evidence s'at produced evidence of his espionage and communist party affiliation. is th

but nixon's supporters like her as donald trump. but nixon's supporters like heras an donald trump.democratic primary and they are energised as ever. democrats come to communities of colour and they say the right things, they give away food, whatever the case may be, but they don't back it up. politics here is so don't back it up. politics here is so dominated by corporate interests, they have a stranglehold on our system. we need people who are willing to be bold and courageous. it has got to the point with the election of trump, people are saying, we cannot do this any more, we cannot sit here with centrists and have far right policies. but not all democrats are convinced lunging to the left will win a race against republicans in more conservative districts. there will be a real revolution, but more likely it will be part of a long—term change and democrats to make them be what they once were, democrats to make them be what they once were, which is the left, the real left in this country. cynthia nixon's celebrity has put the spotlight on the governor's race in new york and the wi

nixon. he never raised that point, he never said this would be very different and, you know, separated the two arguments, but it strikes me that if his favorite top four u.s. v. nixon decision is limited to a trial court subpoena and doesn't protect the ability of law enforcement to proceed through, for instance, a grand jury subpoena, he played a little game with us to try to have the best of both worlds. to reserve a little escape hatch for himself to be able to shut down, for instance, mueller investigation or southern district of new york investigation subpoenas while still purporting to uphold united states v. nixon as a big, favorite decision of his. would you respond to that? >> i would agree with your analysis. and as i said in my opening statement, i wasn't clear at all that he had reversed his position on u.s. v. nixon, excuse me, when he said that he wasn't sure it was properly decided. he also used it in the 2016 law journal article along with marbury v. madison, youngstown and b

stepping into a new role, cynthia nixon puts in face time with voters. hbo series, sex and the city. but she wants them to picture her as the next governor of new york. when we say black lives matter, we have to actually mean it. the state under her opponent, andrew cuomo, has passed some of the most progressive policies in the nation. but cynthia nixon thinks more has to be done to reverse crippling inequality and to guarantee access to quality education, healthcare and jobs. if you shoot for the moon, you end up with the stars. if you don't try and enact these things, you'll never get anywhere. so we have to be bold and we have to be ambitious with our vision. progressives want to push democrats further to the left and a key part of that is disrupting politics as usual. in their view, established politicians are often part of the problem and that has left an opening for a diverse range of candidates to step in. the governor of new york is not a job about politics or advocacy, it is about doing, it is about management. this is real life. andrew cuomo ha

now, nixon -- the nixon case is not on all fours with this case. there were some differences there.apes of the president speaking. here it would be a subpoena for the president himself speaking. but the principle is the same. it's a principle, and you can trace it in the cases. not just u.s. v. nixon, but the civil setting of clinton v. jones that the president is going to be required to answer this subpoena, and it's for the same reason, alan, the same reason that you're wrong about obstruction. of course a president can obstruct justice, because in the united states of america, our core constitutional principle is -- no person is above the law. that's why the president will have to answer this subpoena. >> that is a false cliche. >> professor. there are so many legal issues he here. their heads are going to explode. but on the question of subpoena, if the president refuses and rudy giuliani has been all over the place here about this, if the president refuses, do you believe as norm eisen believes that he'll be forced to testify that the court would rule in mueller's favor in effe
