so the best precedent i know for that is jimmy charter preempt e preemptively pardoning all draft dodgersluding people who had never been charged with anything, right? look, the presidential pardon power is extremely broad. and if the president has, you know, some suspicion that, for example, rudy giuliani is the subject of an investigation, and he wants to say i'm going to nuke this investigation in its crib, he actually does have the power to do that. you know, the richard nixon pardon pardoned him from sort of any and all crimes he may have committed in the period of his presidency. wasn't limited to watergate exactly. and so i don't doubt that the president can do it. i do think the optics of it would be terrible, particularly for, you know, jared and i vaughn ivanka and the two -- trump sons, eric and don junior, it does imply that they've committed a crime. and when you accept a pardon, there's an implication in the acceptance that there is something there to pardon. and so, whether that's -- it's a good, you know, pr strategy for them to tolerate or to take such a pardon is a diffe

if you see testing lines outside of la's dodger stadium, those are really not acceptable this far into the pandemic. many of what has happened didn't have to be so if we had a public health structure that could that could test, track and isolate. expect theo we effects of thanksgiving took again? dr. adalja: probably in the next couple of days we will see cases increase if there was significant transmission, and then a week later and uptick in hospitalizations. what we are seeing right now is not the result of thanksgiving. it is the result of people doing things before that holiday. there is a real concern that what the holiday brings will be kind of a surge on top of a surge, to use dr. fauci's words. alix: after l.a., who's next? where the next hotspot? dr. adalja: what we have basically as a country full of hot spots. the media often focuses on major metropolitan areas like los angeles and new york, but it is often the work -- the rural and suburban areas where i am mark concerned because those hospitals don't have the people to be to increase staffing as much, and maybe a dozen ic

dodgers which is our hometown team. next, this is probably one of our most spectacular and successful exhibits. that is lincoln. what we have learned in our temporary exhibit is that we have about 10,000 or 11,000 square feet. we are very fortunate. we can have blockbusters. if you combine history and hollywood, it is a great draw. it gets people to understand what happened in history in a contemporary setting. if you go to the next slide, we have the history. we have one of his hats. that is iconic, and a lot of people take pictures. in the next slide, you will see the actual set from steven spielberg's film "lincoln." there was an immense amount of research to make this film set as historically accurate as possible. in my opinion, you will never get a more accurate depiction of the office in lincoln's white house. there is a wonderful story because during the latter part of the exhibit, mister spielberg called and said he wanted to see it. we meet him and he says, please call me steven. we go in, and we have steven sp

we're here at dodgers stadium. many cars will wait an hour before they get to the front of the line. based on the last week, nearly 17% of angelenos who are tested are testing positive. now with a new virus variant hitting the uk and france, there's concern it could be driving the surge here. >> i would assume as with other variants, that given the amount of traveling people have been doing between thanksgiving and now the winter holiday, in all likelihood it's here. >> reporter: now nearly 7,000 angelenos currently hospitalized.

into this, i mean, even some preemptive pardons, we look at jimmy carter pardoning vietnam draft dodgersme of whom may not have been charged at that point. i wonder what would have been different about the president preemptively pardoning particularly members of his own family. >> i think the only difference would be first of all an appearance difference in terms of jimmy carter's pardons versus this one, but also i think this is more akin i would say to the pardon by president ford of former president nixon who he was obviously associated with, but i think the other issue here is there could potentially about a challenge in court, that would be the only reference here. i think that really this is obviously something that's going to raise a lot of eyebrows but st not unprecedented other than by the appearance of it. >> okay. would there be any state charges, right, because the presidential pardon does not cover state issues and of course that's an issue for the president himself because you have the manhattan da looking into his business practices, but do giuliani, ivanka trump, jared ku

sorry, not the veterans, but the draft dodgers. important to greg allman, actually. on his first day in office when he invited greg allman to come have dinner with him at the white house, he had a ceremony that day where he issued, you know -- it's not a pardon, i'm blanking on the correct word of what he -- but basically he said that all of the people who had left the country to avoid the draft were welcome to come home. i think that was a great gesture towards, you know, the younger generation who were against the war in the first place and it was -- it was an important, you know, sort of policy that he enacted as a result of his friendship with greg allman. you know, i think that just in a general way that music has always had a certain amount of -- of sort of color-blindness and has been, you know, done wonders to bring the races together in america and that was another reason why jimmy carter was so -- such a fan of music like jazz and -- and rock and roll was that he saw how it brought people together and he was a great, you
