here to discuss is alan dershowitz, and a guy for unaroused voters. michael isakoff, and douglas blinkly, the author of rightful heritage. good evening. mr. dershowitz, i'll start with you. hillary clinton never mentioned this clinton inc. memo. did the clintons do anything illegal in what we just saw? >> no, they've done nothing illegal. there's no evidence she made any single decision as secretary of state based on contributions, but i think they have to look to the future. if i were hillary clinton i would say, if elected president my husband will not accept a single penny for speaking fees during the four or eight years i'm president. the clinton foundation will be put in the hands of very objective, world-class, nobel prize winning whatever, and we will have nothing to do with it. i think if she says anything, she should look to the future and assure the american public whatever happened in the past is no problem in the future. >> she needs to talk, not be quiet on the issue? >> i think she should talk about only about the future. >> of course, d

alan dershowitz said he would vote for hillary clinton.ave both offyou this morning. >> great to be with you, victor. >> matt, i want to start with you. >> sure. >> if donald trump is really -- guys in the control room, let's ready the may sound bite from west virginia. if donald trump is really genuine when he says this election is rigged, because we heard this claim from trump during the primary, and this is what he said near the end of the primary fight -- >> you've been hearing me say it's a rigged system, but now i don't say it anymore because i won. okay. it's true. now i don't care. >> yeah, he doesn't care. he doesn't say it anymore. does he really believe this is a rigged system? >> well, i think you saw with all the wikileaks and the resignation of debbie wasserman schultz at the dnc in the primaries he was talking about how it was rigged against bernie sanders. the proof is clear that it was. i think a lot of conservatives and republicans across this country when they turn on their television and go across the cable networks, th

but professor dershowitz is absolutely correct. when you have two candidates, 69 and 70 right now, you know, for them to go on past a first term, absolutely, that's a big deal. and we see the stress of the office, so these guys in four years could end up being your president. >> kat, i wasn't even going to watch this thing, but now i feel like it's my job to watch it. >> yeah, i'll watch it. i wish what they would do instead is hang out and drink beers and trade stories of what it's like to defend two of the most hated candidates of all times. it's true, they're going to become great friends, like buzz and woody in "toy story" or seth roggin and james franco in "pineapple express." >> that's a pretty good metaphor, tyrus. who do you think has the upper hand? >> depends on which one of the candidates screws up the most that day going into the thing. so the if hillary's e-mail scandal drops or reopens that day, pence will have the advantage. if donald trump opens his mouth then kaine is going to -- here's the thing, both guy's whole

i, alan dershowitz, couldn't disagree more with professor amar's opposition rules. so if you want a book that's just going to reaffirm be all your liberal prejudices, this isn't for you. you don't want to pollute the jury pool because there are a couple more questions, but i say, actually, we need robust protections for innocent people. right now, for example, suppose the cops know you're innocent but they just want to hassle you because of your race or your politics? well, if the exclusioning their rule's the only game in town, it's open season, because they can do whatever you want. they're not going to find any evidence. we need remedies for innocent people, and i talk about what those might be, class actions, other things, we need community-based policing involving community review boards to make sure the cops -- oh, not just who's being searched, but who's doing the searching and seizing, and do they look like the community, or do they look like an alien occupying army? civilian supremacy is a deep principle in the constitution, and it applies to a paramilitari

famed harvard law professor alan dershowitz joining us on whether any laws were broken. first to catherine. >> the retired fbi agent said they agreed to work together. but once he learned that kennedy wanted an e-mail downclassed, he backed out. the agent pressured him to change the e-mail classification and relayed the kennedy conversation as a quid pro quo. the fbi records also show kennedy pushed hard and often to reduce the number of classified e-mail found on clinton's personal server she used as secretary of state. and kennedy did so for months after congress issued a subpoena and preservation order for the e-mail in march of last year >> trying to change the e-mail after march 4th, 2015 would in effect change or alter the evidence that had been requested by congress. >> so first of all, these were documents for public release through the foia process, not necessarily what we shared with congress. >> these documents report career state department personnel were quote suspicious of a special group of employees brought in to review the e-mail classification. some had

and i think -- i think to professor dershowitz's point, there's sense just rang almost of birtherism again, sort of like produce the birth certificate, you know, something's going on here with bob. there's sense of like -- you know, he's looking to sort of destabilize hillary clinton before the second debate but even more broadly than that, sending this message to his supporters that you know what if the result on november 8th isn't what he wants to be, you know, he's going to -- i don't know try to reserve judgment or something. >> at least we know that if he had been asked the same question -- if trump had been asked the same question johnson was asked, name your favorite foreign leader, he would have a clear answer, president obama. >> who does this next -- it's a town fall format debate. >> it helps her tremendously. >> not him? >> oh, no she's done it before and very successfully. she can interact with the questioners. the questions aren't predictable, the subjects aren't predictable and plays into her strengths and his weaknesses f. he does the same lack of preparation in a tow

dershowitz, hillary clinton has never mentioned this clinton, inc memo. do the clintons do anything illegal in what we just saw? >> no, nothing illegal. she made no single decision based on contributions but they have to look to the future. if i were hillary clinton, i would say if elected president, my husband will not accept a single penny for speaking fees during the four or eight years on president, the clinton foundation will be put into the hands of very objective, nobel prize winning, whatever and we have nothing to do with it. if she says anything, she should look to the future and assure the american public that whatever happened in the past, is no problem for the future. >> so talk not just be quiet? >> i think she should talk but only about the future. >> of course donald trump is using it as an opportunity as he should, right? >> sure. >> as her opponent who was quick to pile on today, listen to this. >> just today we read about clinton confident doug brand bragging that he had funneled tens of millions to bill clinton, inc through the foundat

i want to bring in defense attorney allen dershowitz, and senior advisor to the trump campaign. want to get your response to the 'cause of the woman. >> i actually had the -- first of all, i want to preference everything i say, take everything very seriously. we owe we it not just to the women but to society. having said that i did have the opportunity to hear her first cousin speak and he's not as complimentary of her sincerity, and i thought it was interesting what he was saying. he was saying she was extremely fond of donald trump and at some point, he felt like when donald trump declined to go visit in april at her invitation, that she got mad at him and that was what his statement was. so, i think it's something that needs to be considered. he's somebody who has worked with his first 'cause, obviouco up with her in the same town. >> he would not be present for any of these allegations rights? what's your response? >> my response is there should never be any presumptions about these accusations. there shouldn't be any political assumption that women always tell the truth or

xavier amador and alan dershowi dershowitz.g our conversation what leads donald trump to do some outlandish things and you believe? >> he has a long standing belief of paranoia. sometimes we should be paranoid and afraid, but this is somebody with a long standing of what we would refer to in psychology as pathological paranoia, meaning it's in the spectrum of mental disorder potentially, or maybe you know actually. >> not just the personal trait? >> no this is not just about the election, and earlier alan said it was hillary clinton in part pushing his buttons. but remember he's espoused conspiracy theories going back to the academy of television and arts they were rigged against him personally. this is a personality trait and traits can be come pathology, yes. >> we have to be very careful. >> yes. >> we've had two experiences in my lifetime with people who were thought to be mentally ill. one of them was barry goldwater and when he ran in 1964, over a thousand psychiatrists in an article in "fact magazine," diagnosed him as m

. >>> i want to bring in now defense attorney alan dershowitz and jack kingston, former republican congressmanho is a senior advicer to trump campaign. jack, what is your response to the cousin of the woman? >> first of all, i want to preface everything i say, take everything very seriously. i think we should. we owe it not just to the women but to society. having said that, i actually did have the opportunity to hear her first cousin speak, and he was not as complimentary of her sincerity. i thought it was interesting what he was saying is that she was extremely fond of donald trump, and at some point he felt like when donald trump declined to go visit in april at her invitation that she got mad at him, and that was what his statement was. so, you know, i think it is something that needs to be considered. he's somebody who has worked with his first cousin, obviously grew up with her in the same town. >> but, alan, he would not be present for any of these allegations, correct? what's your response? >> well, my response is that there should never be any presumptions about these accusations. the

alan dershowitz is here. >> this just proves how dysfunctional our election is.e negatives are coming out. this will be the first election in modern history where most americans are going to be voting against a candidate not for it. as secretary of state is actually in the middle of a deal where the moroccans are gonna put money into the clinton foundation have he explained that. this is what has been coming out of the trumpet campaign and everyone is talking about the pay to play scheme. it's right there in this e-mail. tragically it's rampant all over the united states and all over the world but hillary has some explaining to do. i will vote for hillary clinton but i'm not suggesting that on the e-mails that she's perfect. i used to represent wikileaks. at the fact that he who started out as a journalist and now seems to be a political operative tried to put his thumb on the scale. if he had produced e-mails on both sides that were devastating and critical that would be one thing but for him to be one-sided the producing of these e-mails seems to raises some qu
