watching this is that it is alleged as some have reported that donald trump offered some kind of clemens that your pardon didn't join just before if he would give up his sources and as a person that takes it takes his position as a journalist seriously apparently he turned it down because he's not going to burn a source so look at the character of all the people attacking him and look at joining us on just character 30 seconds go ahead joe absolutely and this is been something that's been the case all the way through for people who want to see the truth it's very very clear who has the principles and who doesn't and the presentation of julian assange you know media in the is instead a system ruling class turned against him has been truly horrific and the people who are making money out of vilifying him all the ones who should be looking in the mirror truly ashamed of themselves they are getting paid for propping up a system that commits crimes ruthlessly everywhere a life of the old out there we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on s

president trump and his son-in-law kushner had the suspected scheme to offer a bribe to get some sort of clemen see for a tax crime. the sources say san francisco real estate billionaire sanford dillar allegedly, again, these are just reports about the investigation but enlisted someone you may have heard of, elliott brody and also tried to enlist jared kushner's lawyer, very well-known in washington to get some sort of message to the white house. as part of the effort, he said there would be some sort of quote substantial political contribution. abby lull's lawyer says there was no bribe ever paid. glen, this is tricky. when it first broke it was tantalizing and we're careful to know at the time we don't know and it didn't necessarily state from the first filing, who if anyone, at the white house might have been basically exposed by this. with that reporting, what's your analysis? >> so i agree with you. it is a tricky one because people want to lead to the conclusion folks in the administration must be involved and culpable and i don't think we're there, at least not in the reporting yet so w

himself whether that's dangling pardons to keep people from investigators, pardoning people or offering clemen scy to keep them from going to prison or engaging in these proactive pardons. trump held the pardon power so close to the presidency, almost wielding it as an additional political tool when this is something our constitution established after great debate among the founding fathers. they saw this potential for abuse but decided it was so critical to have it so that a president could do justice, could offer mercy in an appropriate situation, yet, another part of our criminal justice system that donald trump has stood upon its head. >> right. and we're not over any of this. i want to give an update to a story that broke during our hour on this bribery for hire scheme. an official telling nbc news quote no government official was or is currently a subject or target of the investigation. we should note the court filing does spotlight a secret lobbying scheme and shows redacted as we emphasized last night but some individual would offer a substantial political contribution in exchange for

similar questions are come in from a couple of people on the -- [audio dficulty] clemens from the savannah river site watch who wants to ask you about the 2026 production and how you feel about that and whether you see that going forward. so two ofort of the programmatic elements, and then i'll come back to a comment from stanley owens asking more of the bureaucratic structures between dod and nsa and oversight. so there's a lot there -- >> there's a ton of ground to cover here. [lghter] first of all, we need to modernize our nuclear weapons. so, you know, there's no question about that. they've been around for a long time. we have to make sure they work. production's a huge part of this. the nsa plays a huge role. even my more modest view of our nuclear weapons structure, to me, there is no question that we need to modernize our nuclear weapons work. incredibly important. i am highly skeptical of the level of competence within the nnsa. now, i could be wrong about that, you know? i've been to savannah river, i've been to los alamos, i've talked with this many a lot. it seems to me that ov
