i came to washington, d.c., 28 years ago as a college student at george washington university. i came here because i was a serious person coming to a serious place to do serious things. the decisions made in the city saved the union 100 years ago and saved the world 80 years ago. they established this country is the cultural and military power of the planet. serious people did serious things in this city and inaugurations were moments of time when we rallied around serious aspirations. a nation that wants to be great has to have serious leadership. these mayors gathered here this weekend represent the cohort of american political leaders who still reliably answer that call. these mayors are serious people and therefore, we are here in washington to talk about the real issues that face our constituents like housing, infrastructure, public safety, and the economy. we are here to model washington what effective leadership produces. my city just set a record for longest streak below 4% unemployment. 40 straight months. metro cities produce 46% of the nation's employment growth and

stephen costello from the institute for korean studies at george washington university explained to mects things to play out in seoul over the next few weeks. the pace, the direction of this seems rather unstoppable. the constitutional court, will be able to rule in the next couple of weeks, it now looks like they have set dates over the next couple of weeks for the former president yoon to appear before them. when you look at the impeachment proceeding before the court and compare it to the impeachment proceedings against the former president park chu—youn hay in 2016, this one would seem to have many more rock solid cases to make. that mr yoon overstepped his authority. so the final decision of the constitutional court seems quite solid at this point. what do you think would be the tipping point, what will it take for mr yoon to come in for questioning and acquiesce to this arrest warrant? it would be hoped he will respond to the new attempt by the police presumably now they have the arresting authority. but both the president's protection service and the military that they have used

was fantastic that they were out there because, you know, there we are in washington at george washington university, and they've got, you know, the statue of george washington draped for days with the flags of terrorists. and so kudos to north carolina. best of america going on here. way to go. let me close with a couple final thoughts. the it's been many times but that 2024 election that's coming up in november. it may very well be the most important election in your lifetime. the most important election in your kids lifetime and the most important election year. your grandkids lifetime. president trump is remarkable individual. he's running full steam ahead. presidential campaign while being attacked by a two tiered justice system. i had a chance to be with him in court a week ago tuesday and to see the strength of what he goes through and to see the unfairness of that system, you know, sit there for five weeks when they haven't even been clear about was there actually even they can't even articulate what a crime may or may have been? it's just the whole thing is absurd to me as a businessperson.

joining me now is jonathan hurley, george washington university law professor, fox news contributor.o, president trump signed another executive order. this one ending what they call illegal dei. the white house says this will terminate radical dei preferencing and federal contracting. and direct federal agencies to combat private sector discrimination. professor, how soon will we start seeing legal challenges to this? >> >> ha ha. well, we saw a flurry of legal challenges immediately after trump took office. but it's going to take more than a legal flash mob to reverse some of these measures to some degree trump has been advantaged with the fact that we have had divided government in congress. which meant many of the things that president biden did, did he with executive orders. and what you can do by an executive order you can usually undo by executive order. but, this is really a flurry of executive orders that we're all trying to keep up with. i did glance at that recently minted eo, and it's very interesting. one of the things that he asks the department of education and the just

interviewed peter lewis, director of the project on ethics and political communication at the george washington university, about the political ramifications from this week's high profile attacks and the incoming trump administration's response. >> you know, a lot of people around the world, and certainly here in the us, are worried that the president will act first, speak second, and then research and fact check third, fifth, or maybe not. not at all. you know, we're going to have reactionary policies, right? and i think a lot of people are legitimately concerned about that. >> professor lodge says colleges are concerned about their foreign students, and tough immigration policies could drastically affect bay area tech companies that rely on foreign workers. >> and don't forget, you can download the fox local app on your smartphone and smart tv to stay on top of the very latest on the new orleans and las vegas attacks, along with the ktvu newscast and the content from our newsroom, you can also see content from our sister stations all over the country. it is free to download on your apple and android dev

he's the director of the political management program at george washington university. so much for joining us this morning. >> thanks. great to be with you again. thanks for having me. >> so just into the newsroom right now, we just got word that former proud boys extremist group leader enrique tarrio, who was serving a 22 year prison sentence for seditious conspiracy, and oath keepers founder stewart rhodes, who was doing 18 years for the same charge. they have been released from prison. i wanted to ask you this morning, now that these pardons have been issued for them and 1500 participants in j6, is this the end of the line for any legal issues surrounding those convicted as part of their efforts in january 6th? >> yeah, it will be. and anybody else who was not inside that big rope of 1500, and if they had any sort of justice department cases against them pending, those will be canceled. because, of course, the justice department is now controlled by donald trump. so this is just another way to wipe the slate clean and divert the responsibility for january 6th, like d

let's bring in our -- legal panel to break it down george washington university of law jonathan turleypal attorney general welcome. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> shannon: let's start here we've got these operations going on immigration and deportation in the country and a number of cities and states are saying we are not going to cooperate. several state attorneys general say the u.s. constitution prevents enforcing federal laws. how do you see this play? is there a common during or don't resist or block our federal efforts? who is in the right? >> let's see it's certainly true under our constitution the federal government cannot commandeer or conscript state officials into serving state policies but at the same time state officials for its federal immigration policy including law enforcement. you can have a universe in which the federal government is attempting to enforce the laws of the united states including the immigration laws. you have state or local officials taking every step to undermine the activity to through our federal policy and prevent effective invitation of federal law.

for analysis on this and the incoming president's new york criminal case let's bring in george washington university thanks for being here. >> thanks, bret. good to be here. >> bret: what do you make of this filing and the judge's ruling tonight? >> well, it was hardly surprising, this judge, in my view, has been hell-bent on sentencing president trump since the case first landed on his docket there was no way he was going to delay. they also knows that the court of appeals generally does not want these type of interlocutory appeals. they want to see a case finalized and presented in full to them. so he has the advantage here. now, from the perspective of the trump team, their view is, look, we think that you made an unholy mess of all of this. i happen to agree with them on that point that there are reversible errors here. they want to start with the immunity question. basically merchan said there is really no problem here in terms of my use or the introduction of evidence in my courtroom: they have strong arguments against that and they want the appellate court to hear it. but, it looks today, bre

george washington university law professor jonathan turley and assistant attorney general.od morning gentlemen. >> thanks, thanks. shannon: will start here with copies operations going on immigration deportation around the country and number cities and states are saying we are not going to cooperate. several state attorneys general led by new york say this the constitution prevents the federal government from commandeering states to enforce federal laws. tom, how do you see this playing out? is there a commandeering, cooperation don't resist don't block our federal efforts? who is in the right? >> quick ftse is certainly true under our constitution the federal government cannot commandeer or conscript state officials into serving federal policies. but, the state time state officials cannot act in a way that obstructs or thwarts immigratearthworksimmigration pw enforcement. who could not have the universe the federal government is attempting to enforce the laws of the united states including the immigration laws. if state or local officials taking everything, every step to u

shortly after that, they did a big symposium on the university of minnesota ran it with george washington universitydinner conversation with walter mondale moderated by dick mo, his chief of staff. you couldn't believe this man had any kind of an illment. he was funny. he was articulate. he knew everything. two years ago, i was at the ebenezer baptist church and saw his grandson jason, who believed at that point he had weeks to go and he lasted two more years plus. he's been in hospice for more than a year, i believe. really just remarkable physically as well as emotionally. >> james, jimmy carter -- we're watching this motorcade. at some point it may go out of our shot. but this is what we've got. we have seen the family. there are emergency vehicles there as well, which would be typical of this situation. and of course, a great deal of security and current secret service. james, jimmy carter won the presidency during a remarkably tumultuous time, post-vietnam, post watergate. he had the energy crisis. he was the first president to put a solar panel on the white house. and then he got inflation and

kerri urbahn, jonathan turley, george washington university law professor and constitutional law attorney. great to see you. district attorney liberal alvin bragg, who ran as many democrats in high legal positions across this country, ran threatening the freedom of donald trump. lawfare was a term even voters were using. did alvin bragg get what he wanted at all? >> i think that he did. this is enormously popular with his base. this was a thrill kill and this was the thrill. and ultimately this court imposed no punishment at all but did give trump's critics what they wanted. that is to label him as a convicted felon. sentencing by sound bite. it will be repeated like a mantra in the media. the first convicted felon to take the oath. even though this case may not last. the verdict against trump has a very good chance of being overturned. the verdict against the new york legal system will be far more lasting. it allowed itself to be weaponizeed. it allowed itself to be the product of lawfare. and that is going to leave the much more lasting mark than i think this verdict on trump. >> harris

jonathan turley, george washington university law professor former assistant u.s. district of new york and eight mccarthy. judgment welcome. all three of us after this trial. andy, what was the point of friday? >> sometimes is not the destination, it is the journey. i.e. you cannot judge this by the bottom line. the bottom line is nothing came of it. the point here was not so much to achieve a certain result certainly not to put now president-elect trump in prison. the point was help the democrats win that 2024 election. if we take the point of this on its own terms it was a failure it did not do that. it was a terrible politicizing of the justice system. but the objective was to get the democrats into the white house in 2024. that is the real failure is not just a failure of this particular prosecution although this was the worst of them it's the whole lot better effort. >> okay the appeals will now begin on the substance of this whole thing. drop in the wall street journal at her twirl board said little trump's lawyers that pope mr. bragg was wrong with the case

host: our next guest is a professor at george washington university and legislative affairs director at that school. you know, i wanted to start with actual process. because people tend to think there's election day and then there's today. but there's actually quite a few steps. guest: yeah, too many. host: why too many? guest: no, not too many but it's a process we don't often think about when we're voting for president and vice president. we think we get our ballot, we go to the ballot box, make our check, they count the ballots, it's done. but that's just the first step in a process that plays out across the states and then ultimately ends today and january 6 with the actual certification of the results and we get our ultimate win that are we thought we knew on election night -- winner that we thought we knee on election night. host: we have the timeline laid out for you. states had to issue theirhat the certificates of ascertainment of what happened in the parti state. december 17, the es vote in their individual states, they ca their votes. those votes have to be in washington b

bring on kerri urbahn fox news legal editor and jonathan turley, fox news contributor and george washington university law professor. we have been watching a couple of hours of this confirmation hearing for the united states position of attorney general with pam bondi. there were times when it got pretty chippy. i'm harris faulkner and introduced my guests. let's jump right in. jonathan, what stood out to you in terms of what she would face critically? >> well, she has done extraordinarily well. i don't think they've landed a glove on her so far. she has been very tight in her answers. and she has kept her demeanor in control even in the face of some pretty insulting questions. there is an other worldly aspect to this. you have democrats that supported the weaponization of the legal system against trump. suddenly saying, you know, in the name of god tell us you won't be targeting political opponents. i think that senator cruz brought that up as did some of his colleagues and said you seem to be ignoring what we just went through. in this case bondi has made clear she has no intention of doing that. th

secret service agents raced him to george washington university hospital where doctors found the bullet dangerously close to president reagan's heart. reporter: judy, i'm sorry to interrupt. troy roberts: nbc cut into woodruff's report with the news. reporter: in front of me now are two bulletins that both say president reagan was shot in the chest. troy roberts: the president was rushed into surgery. meanwhile, the fbi was desperately trying to find out what happened. retired fbi agent thomas baker. we didn't know was this part of a conspiracy? was there going to be other people shot? troy roberts: the answers would be much stranger and more chilling than they could possibly imagine. and it turned out the clues were hiding in plain sight. a nation is rocked as details emerge about the president's precarious condition and the gunman who pulled the trigger. coming up, the first nationally televised interview with the detective who questioned hinckley minutes after the attack. he just seemed a matter of factly like this wasn't really a big deal. did he ask any questions about the conditio

for reaction to this jonathan turley, george washington university law prof.fessor turley, let's start with you. the court doesn't like to intervene in what may be considered political matters. your take on this and then i will tell you what i think the court should have done. >> well, this is what some of us predicted when the appeals were just began. merchan really played this perfectly. and i say that not as a plaintiff's exhibit. that he knew that he was giving president-elect trump very little runway. by which to take an appeal off. he also knew that appellate courts generally prefer for sentences to be finalized. to say review the case as a whole. and he played those two cards. to guarantee that he will be able to sentence president trump tomorrow when that occurs ultimate mandate for president trump. affects of lawfare on our political system. president trump will go in as many on the left want him to go in as a convicted felon. for many people in this country he will go in as someone who was the victim of lawfare. this was the most outrageous of the ca

. >> john: and bringing in jonathan turley, constitutional law professor george washington university, and fox news contributor, and let's put up the map on the screen so people can follow along. 22 states in total are taking the trump administration to court over the end birthright citizenship. i assume it will end up in the supreme court at some point which i assume is donald trump's intention. >> oh, i think you really put your finger on what is really going on here. this executive order is the most vulnerable arguably of all of the executive orders that were issued. here the trump administration is really the underdog. the odds are strongly against it prevailing. but this has been a long standing debate. ironically, since the language was first approved. when this language was still on the floor of the senate, there were people that contributed to it that helped draft it that said that it does not grant birthright citizenship. the problems the language to the amendment is a model of clarity at both ends. it basically says that if you are born or naturalized in the united states, y

christopher bright, george washington university. so i think this is a summary and correct me if wrong. so nietzsche proposed against george kennan and nietzsche right tennessee 68 it's never quite to his house faction, but then he spends his rest of life trying to implement it. is. including team 18 be reagan administration support same view of the world and same lessons that he thinks need to be applied. i think so. and i've been asked sort of, did he ever express regret and no, i think is the answer. but i also think it's important to kind of include with that answer that he in 1986, 1987. and, you know, i make the case in the book that actually he's nsc 60 is extremely important, but so is his work for george shultz during the second reagan administration or coming up with the framework of what becomes this start? one strategic arms control over arms reduction treaty. and in that i that he comes up with a formula tries to integrate ronald reagan's plans for the strategic defense initiative with a treaty that would kind of reduce o

in washington, d.c., george washington university, they've got the statue of george washington draped for days with the flags of terrorists. so kudos to north carolina, best of america going on here. way to go. let me close with a couple final thoughts. it's been said many times but that 2024 election coming up in november, it may very well be the most important election in your lifetime, most important election in your kids' lifetime and most important election in your grandkid's lifetime. president trump is remarkable. he is running full steam ahead, presidential campaign, while being attacked by a two tiered justice system. i had a chance to be with him in court a week ago. to see the strength of what he goes through and the unfairness of that system, sit there for five weeks when they weren't clear about was there actually even -- they can't articulate what a crime may or may not have been. the whole thing is absurd to me as a businessperson. what happened that night? he has got a phone call to a world leader. he had a meeting in person with the prime minister of australia. he doe
