the professor emeritus at the university very prominent advocate of the school of thought, john mayer shiner, university of chicago is another one. their argument is russia is reacting to the eastward expansion and steady encroachment by what they perceive as a hostile us-led material alliance creeping closer to the borders moving from the warsaw pact into actual former soviet republics and that the combination of this, which the russians perceive as a serious threat to national security in a long history of u.s. meddling you might say in their own internal politics is provoking a defensive reaction. and according to this school of thought, the danger here is not that we will appease russia. what happens when you are threatening somebody that is already threatened, you might call this the syndrome what happens when he grabbed his corner become anyone that has been in that situation knows that it gets ugly because he perceives he's got a choice i fight or die, so the choice is very simple. according to defensive russia school of thought, the worst thing that you can do is exactly what

joining me now, alan dershowitz, a harvard professor emeritus and author of the new book. former deputy assistant attorney general. allen, there has been a lot of hand-wringing from the democrats over the white house's letter. suddenly they are worried about the process being political but no one seems to care. the democrats are ignoring long-standing norms. >> didn't system of checks and balances is working quite efficiently. the democrats control the house and they are playing politics with impeachment. the president controls the executive branch and he says, i'm not going to cooperate, now it's all up to the courts. the courts are the ultimate checks and balance big on any disputes between the executive and legislative branches. so if congress wants to get information, they have to go to court and they have to justify the demands, and the executive branch will say no, that's privileged. or this is unjustified. it's all laid out in the letter. the lawyer comic letter is a lawyer's letter saying the adversary system is operating. we aren't going to give in and that's just

reach the deal just before a federal trial started we're tampa pharmaceutical, cardinal health and emeritus source burgan. they're accused of fueling the opioid epidemic. this coming sale have agreed in ohio to a $260 million settlement. a large portion of the her name will be paid out to the two oh, i counties and file lawsuits almost immediately to help with the addiction treatment and education. the parties reach the agreement at the 11th hour avoiding that landmark trial. >> it's not uncommon when it comes down to the wire, people start talking more seriously when they know especially in this case, the plaintiff we're not going to budge. we want these folks held accountable. >> walgreens was also a defendant in this ohio case. that company it's not part of today's settlement. it could still go to trial with other pharmacy chains like "cbs 2" and walmart. even with all of these sentiments today, in federal judges overseeing about 2600 other cases and he has been pushing for one large settlement. is opposed to several small law suits and settlements. those negotiations so far, have been u

there are a few prominent proponents of this, professor emeritus, very prominent advocate of the school of thought, their argument is russia is reacting to nato's eastward expansion that steady encroachment by what they perceive as our hostile us-led military alliance creeping ever closer to russia's borders moving from the warsaw pact to actual former soviet republics and the combination which the russians perceive as a serious threat to national security and a long history of us meddling in russia's own politics is provoking a defensive reaction. according to the school of 5 the real danger here is not that we will appease russia but that we will threaten an already very threatened state and what happens when you threaten someone who is already threatened? you might call this the cornered rat syndrome. what happens when a rat is cornered? it gets very ugly. that rat perceives he's got a choice, i fight or i die, so the choice is simple. according to the school of thought, the worst thing you can do is exactly what the offense of russia paradigm says we ought not do. they say we have g

speakers answer audience questions, but first, we hear from a kansas city art institute professor emeritus. he talks about the views and policies president franklin d . roosevelt and former president hoover on war-torn europe and the question of what to do about the plight of war victims, especially women and children. >> this is the title for my new book called the battle royale, hoover versus roosevelt. i'm going to show you two images first. this is the first one from the america first committee, which alist, andntervention lis some would say isolationist. here, we will take a look at these two and go back. these are from the committee to defend america and to aid the allies. everything i'm going to say about the relief efforts are in the context of the battle over intervention and anti-intervention. i don't think america first has received the attention it deserves. the justice has done some good work on it. it is usually written off as right wing isolationist organization, but it is a key factor in the antiwar movement, along with hoover, who did not belong to america first committee,
