john m: i never left. [laughter] john y: suppose you don't like brett kavanaugh and you want to get other senators to filibuster to stop his vote for confirmation, you could just say i have it on authority that brett kavanaugh not only did the things we know about but he did things 10 times worse and he persuades them all to use his power, to use their constitutional powers. and that senator just made it up, is that not what fanni willis is accusing trap of doing? this is something that happens in politics. if that is true, can trump be charged? i am glad that penn state listen to him, but that does not mean what trump said was illegal. can we really call fraud what the trump campaign did with these electors? john m: rudy giuliani, you said he made statements that he knew were not true. if you knew they were not true and you could prove he knew he was lying and under oath, that could subject them to perjury. even if you suspect something is not true but you had some evidence or of people told you what you h

john: i would say that if you're in sensitive industries, you might have to. nfrastructure layer ai, quantum, certain cybersecurity companies, i think the answer is going to be asked. what you are to hope for is -- what you are going to hope for is there is going to be a trade-off. if, for several, united states -- let's talk about the u.s. government procuring goods in these sensitive sectors from china. it was going to need to be replaced. so that creates an opportunity. the real question is will the decrease in the inbound ordering of goods from china be offset by the activities in the united states or in its allies. right now there's a shortage of manufacturing capacity. but like i've always said, never bet against the united states to change the equation very quickly. matt: by the way, you mentioned creative destruction. we were talking with michael fisch of american securities, and he was talking about the fac t that ai is definitely going to displace people from jobs. of course it will create jobs as well. we see that with every paradigm shift. where do

that's not what i want to do, not what is right for america or the rest of the world. >> john: as president, would you be prepared to go to war with china over taiwan? >> i would be prepared to do whatever we needed to do to stop the chinese from taking over taiwan. it is not in america's national security interest to have china do that. and we need to make sure we make it very clear through the actions we take beforehand. look, we have seen this in ukraine, john. weakness shown by barack obama in 2024, ambiguous moves by the trump administration during their time in office and joe biden's awful withdrawal from afghanistan, led to giving the green light to vladimir putin to invade ukraine. we cannot have that same type of american policy towards taiwan. there needs to be a clear signal sent through the way we support ukraine and through the way we say we will support taiwan and do it with credibility. we need a president who has experience, who understands how to deliver results. that's what i've done. and what i would do as president on this issue. >> john: i want to ask you about former p

[laughter] know you're going well because you play a ding ding. that's yes. ♪ i never get sick of like, turning the microphone around into listening to them sing. i sat on my sofa at 2:00 in the morning and a guitar and a pen and a piece of paper and like, wrote this song and like to connect like that. that's an amazing thing. that's something ai can't recreate yet. geoff: did you ever did you envision that for yourself 25 years ago, that you would reach this level of success and that it would be enduring?

when i got you'll notice this john in the facts sections i often recounted within notes.so you can see my sources. the facts were when got to the legal section, one thing i often did, i quoted or summarized without any editorial comments, because i do think it's important that we as lower court judges and even justices ourselves approach cases with an open mind. one thing that i think is important in the american public and maybe all us don't appreciate is we are bound by the arguments the parties make. and so we talk about principles like forfeiture, or there are often things that come up. this is another reason justice thomas may find himself in dissent and some may sign on to the majority, may wonder how does that happen? and what i wish the public understood, they're on thomas's side. why majority did it their way, or vice versa is that often there by the arguments of the litigants and we too. so one thing that's really important that as judges we understand and appreciate that and let litigants control their case or controversy that is article three, in my mind, requ

but i think i think, john, before that it is pragmatism. there's a sense on the part of jfk that if i want to have legislation passed domestically enough, if i want support for my cold war policies, always the most important thing to john f kennedy in this period is how to respond internationally. i've got to have southern segregationists who are controlling committees. i've got to have them on my side. so as robert pointed out, extremely political all the way through the it's fascinating me the way that the cold war was threaded throughout this period. you talk in your book about when he was a congressman, he was advocating various civil rights measures. he saying, if we don't do this, we will give fodder to the soviet union to trash talk the united states. on the other hand, in the early part of its administration, including in 1963, when you had violent incidents and you had push and pull between the of the protesters, the violence of the resisters, and trying to tamp down both of them. so it wasn't too explosive. one of the reasons he ga

thought it was only appropriate if i call this man the modern-day john apostle. he remarked to him about what he was wearing. >> i when i went off to college i had lost interest in the faith of my youth. i gained some notoriety around my group. i was probably typical 18-year-old young man, probably full of myself. i have been raised in a church home. my family was, church on sunday, grace before dinner. i lost interest in it. when i went off to college, i started to meet young men that seem to have an ease in their life that i did not have. it called themselves, simply christians. they invited me to come to a fellowship group on campus at the little chapel. i visited once. as i read in the book, in there were a fair number of pretty, young ladies that came to that thing. but in that time, i began to have conversations with my friends, particularly john, whom now is a pastor at a large presbyterian church. we would have late-night conversations like fraternity brothers will have, talking about god. at one point, i noticed that john wore a gold cross around his neck

did not achieve its stated objective. >> larry: i don't know, john, that's a tough question. the point here is that one of his top guys, who i've known for probably 40 years, went in the roosevelt room and gave a news conference and said the inflation reduction act had nothing to do with inflation, what we had all said in the first place. he said it was about climate change, ok. so you know, go figure. we are spending -- this thing is coming to $1.2 trillion, massive subsidies and loans to politically favored industries as well as democratic interest groups, china is a huge beneficiary of this, and the bigger point is, it won't work. i mean, look. natural gas has allowed us to lower our carbon dioxide levels, carb emission levels. that's the key point, natural gas should be reclassified as a clean burning fuel and drill, drill, drill, the cost of this biden experiment is enormous. gasoline is now closing in again, $4 a barrel -- a gallon, when he took over, john, gasoline in january trump left him with 2.20, it's costing people a fortune. electricity, home heating, diesel fue

and i do, i didn't, but as that, and my father was on his way from but john left ascending price. he had his own business. and yeah, he was killed on his way back was with my mother at home. someone said that he did, my father had been shots. why do i love? i wonder if that's a lot more than $400.00 men are believe to have been killed that day. only a 181 bodies were found there remains are buried in this graveyard dedicated to the victims, including ross, these father, a historian on the hon, has been following the settlement negotiation closely. she says it took far too long for the netherlands to acknowledge its crimes, but sees a payment of damages to the victims. children as an important just or tortured consolation and can so i must them, i can connect. it's too little too late in the sense that many people from the 1st generation have passed away leave me in the 2nd and 3rd generation, their grandchildren. i think this recognition is an important step, not only to ensure the welfare of the family members, but also to emphasize that what the grandparents data was important fo

i wasn't asking about 2020. >> let me help you with this -- >> i wasn't asking about 2020, john. i wasn't asking about 2020. i was asking about 2016. >> right. >> because the votes were still being counted in 2016. the votes were still being counted in 2016. there had been no recount. how did he know in 2016 he had won? how did he know? on what basis? >> the issue, let me tell you something, the issue in this criminal case is not what happened in 2016 and whether all candidates say they won. the issue now is in 2020 whether or not the justice department can weaponize criminal law to go after a political opponent and prevent that opponent from running for office. that's the issue. not what happened in 2016. >> john lauro, we thank you for your time. >> do you think it's fair that -- do you think it's fair what the biden administration is doing to a candidate for in the president? >> thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we will be right back. shshe runs andnd plays like a pupuppy again.. his #2s arare perfect!t! he's's a brand n new dog, all in l less than a a

users, average americans, saw not only were they blocked -- >> john: that's the law. >> yeah, why should they push back against it, i'm sorry, io, that's my fault, not theirs. >> the point that biden's doj is trying to push back on, under the guise of they want more control. and largely during covid, they try to put out information they got from a source they trusted and before you know it they are banned, blocked. i had a friend in greenville, south carolina could not be tagged on her friends' photos because of something she had posted deemed wrong. and that's the issue. the social media companies get too much power and too many people that talk to each other up here at the expense of down here, and that's where the argument lies and what desantis and abbott are trying to defend. >> gillian: and one thing that desantis wants is for the company, platforms to not ban any political candidates in the process of running for office in that moment. what do you think about that? obviously not to trump getting kicked off of everything. >> i think that's the key here is trump. i mean, a lot of this has to do with trump. a separate case

the problem, john, the cake is baked. i look at the other poll from new hampshire just last week, 57% of republican primary voters in new hampshire would vote for a former president, donald trump, even if he was in jail. so there is this toxic trans that desantis and other candidates are hard to break, we don't know as you mentioned the debate ten days away, see if former president trump even debates. he's up 27 points in iowa. new hampshire, 57% will still vote for him even if he's in jail, the cake is baked. >> john: certainly it would be good for the democratic process if the former president showed up on the 23rd. what about joe biden? there was a moment yesterday he had spent all day or part of the day on the beach at rehobeth and he was asked as he was leaving about the situation on maui, which we know is so tragic. watch his response here. >> mr. president, any comments on the rising death toll in maui? >> will you come talk about the hawaii response, mr. president? >> john: he says there no comment. you would think

that said, john, i was just in india literally last week and i got to tell you, that is the most critical strategic relationship of the 21st century. they have a population larger than china yet their economy is only a third the size. they want to partner more with us, they are buying more of our defense equipment, whether i.t., space, pharma, 800 million indians online so i want to see that relationship get tighter. the thing that we have are allies and partners and that's what the chinese don't have. they are pushing people towards us, which is a good thing with you again, what kind of understanding do we have on the stage of these complex geo strategic relationships, what do they understand about our trade relationships, how we are going to decouple, who we are going to partner with. i agree with rep gallagher, that's what we need to hear tonight. >> john: xi jinping was supposed to give a keynote address at the brics summit, he didn't make it to the speech, his commerce minister read out the speech. don't know what's going on there. but quickly about this, inspector general at the doj
