good evening to you and ellie. it's always interesting in retrospect when you assess and examine what could have been done differently and what went wrong. at that point in tile whme when decided not to testify, the judge asked her did she say no your honor, she said no, they have not. that's the government proving their case beyond a reasonable doubt. at that point, her defense team felt confident. remember what they were doing. the defense was relying upon an attack of the memories of these particular then girls, now women in addition to attacking their motivations, which they did via cross examination. the defense being very confident the attacks on those particular victims would bear fruit particularly given they were decades old allegations and so they made as a defense a calculated assessment not to put their client on the stand. last point, whatever you put a client on the stand, it's not about whether the government has proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt but can we believe the particular defendant?

[laughter] but i first began this project actually after attending a protest, after donald trump was inugh rated in -- inaugurated in january 2017 and one of his first executive orders was signing a travel ban from seven majority muslim countries, and when i was there, at o'hare airport, where this protest was happening, i just wondered to myself, who are these refugee families arriving in chicago, and what do their lives look like here? and that quickly led

ellis island.irst thing i did was raise money to create the museum for the statue of liberty, so i got very close to lady liberty. i did not want to do it. i said if i go on another board, my husband would be upset. then he read my book. the man who wanted to get me. in my book, he read my mother had written me a note saying, god save me so that i can give you life. by giving you life, you gave me my life back. you are therefore my torch of freedom. so he underlined that and said, you see, you have to come and help the statue of liberty. david: the hardest thing in life i have often said is to be happy but you seem like a happy person. diane: it is like nature. nothing ever stops, so you could be super happy one minute then something happens, so it is just living. it is the joy of life. david: for any young woman watching this that wants to be the next diane von furstenberg, what would you recommend? diane: the most important thing in life is the relationship you have with yourself. once you have a

she is leading the effort to raise money for the ellis island foundation. had a chance to sit down with her to talk about her life and dedication to philanthropy and her family. let me ask you about something i can say i am not an expert on, which is fashion. nobody has ever considered me a fashion plate. you invented something called the wrap dress 40 plus years ago. diane: almost 60 years. david: it is one of the most famous designs in the last 50 years and women are still wearing it, so tell me, were you surprised that after almost 50 years that women are still wearing the same design, obviously different dress, but same design as something popular 50 years ago? diane: yeah, i mean, people say i created the wrap dress but really the wrap dress created me. because of that, i became the woman i wanted to be. i became independent. by being independent, it paid for my children's education, it paid for my house in the country, it paid for my apartment. so it made me free and made me liberated. it was the time of women's liberation. and because it was a dress,

. >> one day earlier this year i got a message from ellie.ted to see how she was related to me. >> i opened the app and i saw it. her name is jennifer. whoa! >> she e-mailed me a photo. and it was of her and her sister. her twin sister. so it was twins which is even more exciting. >> when we found out, i think ellie and i thought, we didn't really care. no matter what, our parents, the people who raised us will always be our parents. >> i was pretty comfortable meeting them. and i feel like it was pretty, it felt pretty natural when we met in person. it was very exciting. >> exciting and it had to be a little confusing. imagine two people you didn't give birth to share a large portion of your dna. so much so that technology puts you and two total strangers together as mother and daughter. but it doesn't stop there. >> a couple months later, after i had been speaking to jennifer, i got a notification that said, oh, you have 12 new relatives on the app or whatever. okay. then i opened it and on the top it has your closest relative and it said h

ellis your questions during a live call in segment. : : >> glad to be with you david. >> thank you for those of you who don't know joseph ellis is a leading scholar in this area and hero is a person is written in 13 books on this subject is a graduate of the college of them got his phd >> he's winner of a pulitzer prize and winner of a national book award i would say i've read all of joseph ellis' books, and i enjoyed this one the most, and i actually found i learned more from this book than any of the other books. so thank you very much for writing this book. the most myopic a person in terms of understanding how it will be received i am happy with it i hope that other people would agree with you. if you like the book founding brothers which is about done in the 1790s, i think like this one which is about 1770s. i didn't know what i was doing 41305 years ago i started to write about these centuries and it turns out that i was trying to write history of the american founding. and i turned out that i was doing it backwards. and this should come first chronologically but i don't think i

ellis said "on january 6th the vice president should therefore not open any votes from the six statesthe states and ask them to confirm which of the two slates of electors have in fact been chosen in the manner the legislature is provided for. the question would require a response from the state legislatures which would then need to meet in an emergency electoral session." in other words, even though there were not two slates of electors from every state, ellis' memo was pushing for a way for pence to push the legislatures, to convene and create them. five of six of the states have republican legislatures, we should note. this plan was counting on their participation. another ellis memo january 5th, the day before the insurrection, quote, the vice president should begin alphabetically in order of the states and coming first to arizona, not open the purported certification but simply count the stop at that juncture, end quote. the states would then have to act. ellis tweeted in response to the politico story she never, quote, advocated pence had the authority to overturn the election a

yes, and dr ellie, speaking of christmas, if| ellie, speaking of christmas, if anyone...st i effects? what would you say? in the main, side effects for most people i main, side effects for most people are really mild and last 24 to 48 hours at most, a sore arm, possibly a bit of a temperature and a headache. i certainly would not let side—effects put people off before christmas, and in fact, if you got vaccinated now, it takes around two weeks for the vaccine and for your immunity to really hit that optimum, so you will be just in time for all the mixing at christmas. i certainly wouldn't let that put anybody off, and in fact it is a good reason to go and get your booster, alongside other mitigation measures if you want to have a lovely christmas with family. people can do testing before they meet up, you can get the windows open, make it a bit more ventilated, and we can all have a lovely and safe dr ellie cannon and professor sian griffiths, thank you for sharing that with us this morning. for sharing that with us this morning-— for sharing that with us this mornin.. ,

>> so, wolf, these memos came from jenna ellis, who was one of the lawyers working with rudy giuliani peddle many of the false information and lies that the trump campaign was sending out in the days after the 2020 election. and in these memos, one that she sent to the former president donald trump, another to jay sekulow, who was also on that trump legal team, suggested that former vice president mike pence could just ignore the federal rise that requires him to take receipt of the electors from the different states, open them up and hand them over to congress to be certified. ellison in one memo suggesting that pence didn't even have to open the envelopes, and if he didn't, he would have to go back to the states and start the process all over. now, ellis in a series of tweets today defended her role in all of this, saying that she never specifically was calling for the overturning of the election results, that she was just, instead, offering up legal theory to a client. she also attacked politico, which first reported the news of the memos for violating attorney/client privilege. me
