here now, chief anchor george stephanopoulos.

in fact, george stephanopoulos called him on that and he says, "oh, i thought you were asking me if iing about flynn being prosecuted." he repeated the question to george stephanopoulos, and then he said he thought it was a different question even though he reported it. now we are reading strzok's notes, if you believe him, that he is the one who suggested the logan act. do you think that joe biden has been lying to us over and over again? >> it would appear so. i don't want to make accusations, but the notes, i think it, that peter strzok took, if they are accurate, are very damning to the vice president, to joe biden. and why? because he is participating in the conversation. it's not that he is over taking notes on something else or handling a phone call or whatever. he is participating in the conversation, and according to the notes, with quotations around "the logan act," he is now really zoning and are not zoning out. he knows exactly what this is all about, and he appears, again, he appears to be suggesting that the incoming national security advisor should be investigated under

and then the more sorted side like george stephanopoulos wrote.n is pursuing the wrong path in my opinion. his book would be much better if it came out whenever president trump was outs of office. it would be accepted as a political polemic but as a real insider's reflection. >> dana: yep, that's interesting. when scott mcclelland's book came out, our biggest defenders were former members of the clinton administration because they remembered the george stephanopoulos book. in particular, james carville i remember felt that way. i wonder what you thought about the idea that the administration is putting forward that any conversation between a president and a national security adviser should automatically be considered classified? >> yeah, i have really been thinking about that one hard. it doesn't seem to hold water to me. it would be a new notion, i think, of classification systems. documents are classified. phone calls with foreign leaders are classified. i had never heard in my time at the white house that presidential conversations in themselve

let's bring in george stephanopoulos who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. we've seen the president's poll numbers take a hit in large part it seems because of his handling of the pandemic, as we head into the fall election, how worried are republicans? >> more worried by the day, dan, as you point out, the country seems to have turned against the president for his handling of the coronavirus crisis. and has caused his poll numbers to tank. there was a "new york times" poll this week showing him down 14 points to joe biden. even more significantly, this is just one poll, but it's an important one, even more significantly losing to joe biden in every one of the six battleground states that are going to decide this election. trump won all of them last time. he's in trouble right now. his allies know it. he's starting to get some grumbling on capitol hill. the question is, can he turn it around? does he have it in him? does he have a second term agenda? >> no issue for the white house to be dealing with this morning, a bombshell report from "the new york times"

>> announcer: "this week" with george stephanopoulos starts right now. >>> demand for change. weeks of protests spark sweeping reforms, starting with policing. spreading across society, from corporate america. >> that money is going to straight back into black communities. >> to nascar. and primetime tv. >>> and as america reckons with the stain of racism, a new police shoot rocks atlanta. our guests this morning, stacey abrams. hud secretary ben carson. republican senator james lankford, plus analysis from our powerhouse roundtable. >> announcer: from abc news, it's "this week." here now, chief anchor george stephanopoulos. >>> good morning, and welcome to "this week." the streets of america have seen protests every night since the killing of george floyd nearly three weeks ago, in cities large and small, from new york to beverly hills, and overnight, a new police shooting has drawn outrage in atlanta. >> i do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force. >> the chief of police has resigned. a police officer fired. after shooting and killing a black man. authorit

news's george stephanopoulos tried to get him to say i will vote for joe biden watch a binary choice he said basically any vote that is not for donald trump is a vote for hillary clinton so it isn't any vote that is not for by that logic and he vote that is not for joe biden in 2020 a vote for donald trump if you write in a conservative isn't that a vote for donald trump effectively if they don't stop then they're shutout on meet the press where he attempted to convince adam schiff to move on another impeachment of the president based on the book by john bolton watch if you don't act now and you sort of wait to act and you wait to see what happens in november. is that too late if you believe he has done impeachable of x. with the chinese government can you really wait until after the election to to put bolton under oath to start the process hurry up at him do it now do it now and maybe the best of the 3 watch this local philadelphia anchor push vice president mike and syrah this and i wonder if those are words that you will order right here right here today black lies matter can you

little bit softer when it came to the bushes because he had just been invite today george george stephanopoulos -- george h.w. bush's funeral, his relationship with bush which is very strained and according to my recording i have talked to lots of people including george w. bush's family and friends say that was used as civil war. trump's presidency was like the civil war. the only conversation that is trump has had with george w. bush around brett kavanaugh who had worked for bush and bush called senators to try to get kavanaugh confirmed during the controversial hearing. they have only spoken twice on the phone and that was a long time and i know during pandemic former presidents want to be of service and help but they feel like they can't do anything right now because they would look as they are teaming against him. the story will be is why they are uniting and donald trump is not part of this and they feel like their hands are tied. >> there is one story in the book involving former president jimmy carter as we know many saturday evenings he would would be down the street in plain's georgia

but live on gma this morning, bolton told george stephanopoulos the best way it reign in a president is not through impeachment, it is to vote the president out of office. >> biggest fear i have is that his policy making is so incoherent, so unfocused, so unstructured, so wrapped around his own person am political fortunes that mistakes are being made that will have grahave gra consequences for the national security of the united states. >> you can watch george's full interview with john are bolt bon 7:00 "the room where it happened" will be released tomorrow. >>> and a troubling encounter at a yogurt land, what a woman did to a baby. >>> and plus a rebranding backlash. why the family of the woman who portrayed aunt jemima is upset she's been taken off the bottles and boxes. >>> and astronomical summer started saturday and look at this widespread from 62 in half moon bay to 74 in oakland, to 96 in antioch. our longest stretch of summer i'm an associate here at amazon. come on christian, step onto the blue line. good! stay safe, man. this device is giving us an accurate temperature ch

aoc seem to be even a little too radical for george stephanopoulos.s, their exchange this morning. >> why is it necessary to take the money from the police? i understand your argument, the argument you're making about expanding social services, investing in social services, but the research does show that more police on the street means less crime. >> well, i think there's one question that is interesting here is that when it comes to funds, it's not always just about the number of officers in the street, it's about the police precincts that have tanks, that have military weaponry and, frankly, have a degree of, have a degree of material resources and war-like, war-like weaponry that people ask why does a local police precinct have this in the first place? lou: aoc having a little trouble getting to her notes apparently there, that's the only thing i could figure out that she would be doing. politicians like aoc proposing cuts to police departments, they should have to answer, don't you think, for the cost of their proposals? they've incited more viol

when joe biden went on with george stephanopoulos and said i know nothing about those moves to investigatel flynn. then when pressed, he said i thought you were asking a different question. he repeated the question of the moderator as he was answering it. he proved he did not the question. i know nothing about those moves to investigate michael flynn. oh i thought you were asking something different upon then we find out he was in the room. he brought up the logan act and listened to comey saying there was nothing to those phone calls. a pack of liars that don't belong in government, start with joe biden. >> michael flynn always brings up emotion on both sides of the aisle. we have to keep it moving. up next the leader of black lives matter movement is speaking out on protests against police brutality and responding to criticism about violence. he said the movement is working to achieve meaningful change next. >> if this country doesn't give us what we want, we will burn down this system and replace it. all right? i could be speaking literally. it's a matter of interruption. attention vete

former aides like george stephanopoulos have written books, but we've never seen such a senior formall that the president they've seen was fundamentally unfit and unethical and ignorant and therefore incapable of doing the job. of course what bolton is saying here does not come out of the blue. this really just confirms what we have heard from other officials including john kelly, jim mattis, anthony scaramucci and others who have left the white house and been completely appalled with what they have seen. here bolton has provided a fuller report of what he saw because he was a copious note taker. this is a very damning indictment that trump and his defenders will have trouble running away from because bolton was one of them. you can't accuse him of being a part of the deep state. >> there's many themes but one sort of through line is that the president doesn't value human life, okaying or supporting chinese concentration camps for musli muslims, saying journalists should be executed. we've seen similar sentiments and his famous line about being able to kill someone on fifth avenue and

and people like george stephanopoulos. they are going at it. his memoir he talks about how much he dislikes morris. clinton by bringing in the outside force. there are benefits to fostering a little bit of chaos in order to get better. i think you have given a pretty good sense of some of what is in the book. there is a lot more for the audience. more reason to go out and buy that book. in one second. but at first i want to remind you that would be coming to you later for questions. you can do so in that youtube chat function. tyrant, all sort of experience and scholarly work in the area. then if you want to share some of your experiences we would love to hear that. for the work that you do. it is a great demonstration. it's looking at democrats and republicans and the white in the white house and how they interact. i would like to ask heavy and the model that he sets up for his analysis. he talks about three big factors that govern his work as he looks at the white house. when he one he talks about the ideological fighting and also second in a

here he is with george stephanopoulos. >> when did they know it?id you know about those moves to investigate michael flynn, and was there anything improper done? >> i know nothing about those moves to investigate michael flynn. >> is a you didn't know anythin about it, but you were reporte to be in a january 5th 2017 meeting where you and the president were briefed on the fbi's plan to question michael flynn. >> thought you asked me whether or not i had anything to do wit him being prosecuted. i'm sorry. i was aware that there was they had asked for an investigation, but that's all i know about it. >> senator, i have 30 seconds. first he didn't know anything out of it commit now he was aware, there are document sayin he might have been the one to say let's investigate michael flynn. your final thoughts? >> i think ultimately if it all proves to be true, there's only two things to conclude from a comic a heat is suffering from severe memory loss, or be, he i not being honest we will find out soon enough when the judiciary committee does his investig

. >> you heard vice president biden say recently -- [inaudible] he says, you know, george stephanopoulos asked him this very question. actually, he framed it like, you know, is it hurting you that you can't get out there. vice president biden said we reject the notion that we are in a virtual campaign mode right now a due to the fact that everyone is at home, that it's hurting us. he was like we're doing pretty good if you look at some of these polls because we're actively engaging. so vice president bind, dr. biden have been doing virtual travel days, if you will. last week he was in florida. dr. biden was in michigan, and she was in pennsylvania. we're prioritizing local media, we're still doing national media, we're doing round tables. he did a snapchat interview yesterday, plus it doubled as a piece for "vanity fair" magazine. so we've had to get creative, but we fully believe actually that vice president biden, one, is breaking through but, two, his message of his campaign is a message and a campaign that people are -- [inaudible] because joe biden is talking about a biden recovery

ellison telling george stephanopoulos this morning he's confident of a conviction. >> the defense is can you prove intent to kill? under minnesota law, do you have to? >> that's not one of the requirements of second degree murder, felony murder. the requirement is that he intended to commit an assault and that assault resulted in the death of george floyd. >> reporter: floyd's son reacting to the arrests. >> i am happy that all the officers have been arrested. my father should not have been killed like this. we deserve justice. >> reporter: prosecutors also releasing additional details about the events leading up to floyd's death. according to the new complaints when officers tried to walk floyd to the squad car, he stiffened up, fell to the ground but said he was not resisting. the documents go on to state the officers made several attempts to get floyd into the squad car from the driver's side and that chauvin eventually pulled him out of the passenger side and onto the ground. overnight in an interview with "the new york times," maurice lester hall sitting in the passenger seat an

now reporting, george stephanopoulos. >>> good morning.e're coming on the air right now because the supreme court has made a major decision on abortion rights. the court has struck down a louisiana law which requires doctors to provide abortion services to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. we'll bring in terry moran. it was said this law is the same as the texas law which the court struck down in 2016. >> reporter: exactly, george. you might have deja vu about this case because it is the exact same case the court ruled on four years ago. the difference, justice anthony kennedy has left the court, and neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh have joined the court. in this case just as the texas case, the supreme court found that because district courts holding trials, hearing evidence found that this kind of restriction on abortion, limiting abortions to providers who have admitting privileges within hospitals within 30 miles does not help women's health. it actually doesn't partly because abortion are very safe procedures. very rarely

choice we are presenting when we ask the question, is de-funding the police necessary, like george stephanopoulos abrams there? >> you know, if abolishing slavery was necessary, then we can talk about this. there is a level of courage that this moment is calling every single one of us to. there were systems that were constructed in this country and when somebody proposed the idea that we should actually treat people not as property but as people and as human beings, there were lots of folks who said it will crush the economy, people who said, what about my family and my family's jobs? if your family has built their wealth and their existence on the backs of other people, then it is not only right but it is our responsibility to dream a different dream. absolutely. we are creating a false narrative. instead, we have a responsibility in the media to help educate and bring people into exactly what our most radical re-imagination can point us toward. because there's a precedent for about li abolition in this country. we have to follow it. >> you asked the question like this in a poignant way in your

but he told george stephanopoulos i was aware that they asked for an investigation, but that is all i. you knew logan act. brian: can you imagine if the president just had an opportunity, number one, to have the other party admit he won. not credit the russians. number two, not work against him during this transition. ainsley: transition period. brian: not have the mueller investigation followed by the impeachment proceedings. i thought this was pretty clear and interesting. brett had two sensational interviews back-to-back days one with christopher wray who has been on the sidelines through all of this, almost above it. he says when it comes to the matter of crossfire hurricane. the investigation that was taking place, that's the subject that the ig report i think it describes conduct that is unacceptable, full stop it. cannot be after loued to happen. and will not be allowed to happen. criminal decisions, charging decisions, prosecutor decisions are not made by the fbi. those are made across the street at the justice department. so i believed that when durham comes out. it looks lik

but live on gma this morning, bolton told george stefr november poli stephanopoulos the best way to reign in a president, is not the impeechltment, it is to vote him out of office. >> the biggest fear is that his policy making is so unfocused,ue so unstructured, so rapped around his own personal political fortunes that mistakes are being made that will have grave consequences for the national security of the united states. >> you can watch grnlg's fueorg interview coming up at 7:00. the "the room where it happened" will be released tomorrow. >>> an alert for chuter ecommu. another b.a.r.t. station is moving to no paper tickets. it is the third station to make the switch this month. you can still use paper tickets to enter and exit. b.a.r.t. will keep conrting station machines to only send clip he cards throu clipper cards through the end of the year. >>> it will feel like summer. our longest stretch of warm weather especially inland begins today. right now, it is very comfortable. 60s as warm as it gets, union city, heyward and oakland along a mostly cloudy east bay shoreline. we have tem
