jeffrey: it is. she was the daughter of all of iver brown.-- ol welder.n topeka and a he was -- tamika: he was also a part-time preacher. he chose to wear his collar, which there's -- which brings another dimension to the case. jeffrey: one reason that the told and thurgood marshall those cases, which was to avoid a dispute whether facilities were equal. toh sides had the gall present them and say look, they were equal. it was confusing according to marshall. that is why he does school that there was no allegation of separate equal. he was stressing the fact that linda brown, for which is she said in her introduction from --. the fact that she had to walk six blocks to a school bus, and then take a bus ride wall there was this other school which was seven blocks from her house, -- while there was this other school which was seven blocks away from her house. it was an indignity and an outrage and did not rely on whether the facilities were equal or not. february 1951. the arguments -- the arguments in

ambassador jeffrey in washington, big deal today, the u.s. administrationas expelled 60 russi diplomats,he most its everxpelled in history. what do you make of this? and trump is doing a 180, isn't he? >> to some degree, christiane. he's also closing the consulate in aragon. it's a huge step not only to show the russians we're serious, but also to align ourselves with the european union that's taken a strong position on the assassination attempt in england, but also with nato ally britain. and it's very important, if you will, in the evolution of donald trump towards a confrontational move against vladimir putin. >> is bolton already making himself felt? he is more hard on the russians than trump has been. really, this is a whole new trump, vis-a-vis vladimir putin, or is it just a show for this particular unacceptable alleged assassination attempt? >> good question. i think under the circumstances the evidence is so clear the united states had no other choice. also, you'll remember, congress passed 99 to 1, or 99 to 0, the senate, anti-russi

well, we here at "the late show" have acquired exclusive audio of jeffrey's internal monologue.

with us this morning jeffrey jeffrey what makes people happy . people are happy and their lives are in order when the economy is ok when they're in good health when they have friends and social support when their governments are not run away corrupt and when people are expressing decency and values generosity actually it's a cliche but it happens to be true that giving is better than receive it and it shows up in why some countries are happier than others were generosity is more in evidence those countries are also reflecting higher life satisfaction with that spirit of generosity behind the nordic countries once again dominating the list yet the nordic countries are the heavyweight champions of the world it well being i think it is what germany you call the social market philosophy what it scandinavia they call the social democratic philosophy it is that everybody should have a decent law that there should be a good good benefits they cation time leave time for for every worker that society should look after each other and i contrast that with t

listen, i want to go back to what jeffrey said. if you look at this, clearly these four areas do include a the lo of questions about obstruction and about obstruction by the president himself. and it may well be that there is some collusion being investigated here perhaps with flynn or so forth. but very little suggestion, and i think the surprise here are there are no big surprises, no conversations or areas that we haven't heard a lot about already. no conversation with manafort, for example, or no conversations with some spooky character from the russian side. so that's a bit of a surprise. but the other thing that i think is interesting, there is nothing about his finances here. and a lot of people have argued for a long time that money laundering is biggest vulnerability. why? he may be saving that for later. maybe jeffrey he wants to have this get trump in the room, get the presence of him being interviewed on topics that might be safer ground so he can save and go after finances in second interview. >> that's a fascinating p

let's dig deeper with cnn's legal analyst jeffrey toobin and josh campbell. jeffrey, what are the potential consequences of sam nunberg defying the special counsel and refusing to comply with this grand jury order? >> it is very simple, wolf. a grand jury subpoena is not an invitation to a birthday party which you can accept or reject at your pleasure. it is a legal command and he's got to show up or they can find him in contempt which can be punished by being jailed, by being fined, and that can go on indefinitely. now, i do think that the mueller office does not want to get into a freak show contest with this guy who is somewhat emotionally unstable. they'll try to reach out to his lawyer and say let's dial this back, get him in the grand jury, calm him down. but if he doesn't, and if he doesn't take the fifth, because if he takes the fifth, then he has the right not to testify, but if he simply says it is ridiculous as he said to gloria and to jake, he could be locked up. >> listen, josh, to this clip from an interview gloria borger had with sam nunberg. >

>> i do agree with jeffrey that it's definitely an important development.ent things. it indicates that, as we thought, the special counsel's investigation is looking at a few different aspects, including potentially money laundering, potentially obstruction and, of course, the russian influence on the election. and the trump organization's financial relationship with either russian government entities or russian oligarchs or russian businesses is essential to why the trump organization and donald trump and his family, which it's a family-owned business. we should remember the trump organization. why they would be willing to take meetings with russian government officials or russian government surrogates, why they were potentially willing to receive information or if there was any cooperation why they would be willing to do that, whether they had financial entanglements, financial debt that would have influenced how the president has spoken about russia over the course of the last year and a half in terms of his unwillingness, frequently, to be critical of v

jeffrey rosen, let me start with you. if a pardon was offered, is that considered obstruction of justice on its face? >> it is an open and serious constitutional question about whether or not the president's pardon power can be exercised correctly. some say the power is unlimited and regardless of motives he can pardon anyone he likes. others say if the purpose of the pardon is to obstruct an inquiry, that itself can be prosecuted as obstruction of justice. the supreme court has not ruled on this. that's why michael is absolutely right. the question of what the president knew and when he knew it is crucial because if trump asked dowd to offer a pardon in exchange for manafort and flynn not testifying against him, then that could build a case that he exercised it corruptly and it would go up to the courts and possibly even to the supreme court about whether the pardon power is limited. it's a fascinating question. it wasn't since the 1880s or '90s that the court last had a serious pardon case on the limits of the pardon po

cnn chief legal analyst, former federal prosecutor jeffrey toobin. jeffrey, the president having a hard time bringing on lawyers to represent him in the russia meddling case. is he a, a bad client, b, a bad case or c, all of the above? >> i think it's more in the nature of c. he doesn't listen to his lawyers. he thinks he does a better job being a lawyer than his actual lawyer and, not to be neglected, he has a history of not paying his lawyers even when he owes them money. as well as the issues of conflicts of interest, it's led to these lawyers saying no thank you. >> it is a problem he doesn't have representation right now. >> it's crazy. is a very serious investigation with the issue of an interview hanging out there. jay sekulow who is the only remaining lawyer on his team is a fine lawyer, but he is a constitutional lawyer who deals with religious freedom case, he's not a criminal defense lawyer. >> on the subject of lawyering, michael avenatti, the attorney for stormy daniels, has filed a new defamation suit against michael cohen, the presiden

jeffr jeffrey toobin, what do you make of it? >> i'm going to say the words you are not supposed to say on cable news which are, i don't know. i really don't know what the nature of the fight is. what we do know is it was a frosty parting. gloria allred said she withdrew. zervos says she ended the relationship. the point is, her lawsuit will proceed in new york. they won their first motion. this is the case that, at the moment, has the best chance of getting donald trump to have to under go questioning. she does have a team of lawyers. it's not like donald trump who can't find lawyers. this case will proceed, but with somewhat less celebrated lawyers. >> how do you see it, the impact, potentially on the suit and the president. >> if things keep proceeding as jeffrey toobin pointed out and there's no other legal turnover, this remains the same concern with the president. this is all playing out against a president who is about to have to defend his party's majority in 2018. you don't want to be in a weakened position. you don't wa

our guest is jeffrey edmonds. we want to get your reaction from great written. first from the british prime minister last wednesday. >> following the murder, the u.k. expelled four diplomats. under the vienna convention, the united kingdom will expel 23 russian diplomats who have been identified as undeclared intelligence officers. they have just one week to leave. this will be the single biggest expulsion for over 30 years. it reflects the fact that this is not the first time that the russian state has acted against our country. through these expulsions, we will degrade russian intelligence capabilities in the u.s. just in the u.k. for years to come. they seek to rebuild it, we will prevent them from doing so. second, we will develop proposals for new legislative powers to harden our defenses. this will include the addition of a target power -- at the u.k. border. this power is only permitted in relation to those inspect -- suspected of terrorism. i have asked the secretary to consider if there is a need for new espionage powers to clamp down on the full spectr

let's bring in chief cnn legal analyst jeffrey toobin and areva martin.ffrey, help me understand why i should care. >> i think everybody can make up their own mind if they care about donald trump having an affair. but there was this concerted effort of an enormous amount of money, $150,000, to keep her silent during the campaign. that is a story of -- >> not my trump. not but cohen by any indication. so what would be the relevant legal consideration? >> see, that's what i find bizarre about this. i don't understand this lawsuit. >> that's the bizarre part for you? >> well, there are many. what can i tell you. you just asked about the legal case. she has this lawsuit to let her tell her story. she just told her story. so what's this case about? i just don't get that at all. so i think, look, we can pretend there is a legal aspect to this. this is mostly a story about two adults who had an affair, and people can decide whether they care or not. >> there questions about why does she want to tell her story. >> and what was the thought of selling the story in

cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. so mr.t before the break jeffrey toobin was saying have you ever heard of another attorney paying $130,000 taking his loan, allegedly, out of his home equity line of credit in order to pay for somebody in order, for a friend? >> right, i've never heard of an outside attorney doing that. i've never heard of it but it's certainly not an illegal act. that should be something that's clear. it's not an illegal act to do such a thing, and there are no violations of federal election law here. we have the irrespective test that you apply, and, again, this happens every single day, so if you're doing it -- >> what happens every single day 1234. >> -- to protect someone's reputation -- what happens everybody single day? >> a lawyer spend $130,000 of their own money every day? >> no, these nondisclosure agreements are signed into. why are they signed into? to avoid litigation and avoid the embarrassment of the accusation because many times for high-profile people, whether it's ceos or anyone else, the

jeffrey wayne henry and john sully and henry and sons construction company also charged injuring 13 othersncluding 4 minors. and lsz indicted former director tyler austin miles and the water park on 20 counts including involuntary manslaughter. >> it's unusual for a company to get charged criminal and more unusual for the individuals who run the company or are responsible for the actions to be charged criminally. >> the indictment says the design of the ride guarantee the rafts could go air born in a manner that could severely injure or kill the occupants that's what happened in summer 2016 when caleb schwab was killed after his raft went air born. two others suffered facial practice yourd. >> they call that insane. >> i was there when the ride first opens in 2014. >> literally not for the faint of heart. >> it was deemed not for faint of heart. >> there were life guards. safety checks. and on this day at least a park employee at the top of the ride reading a two page liability agreement. >> there's a risk inherent to the fall. >> yet they knew the water slide was quote a seer youpsly dang

i'd like to make a point before i turn over the microphone to jeffrey berman. first, every sector of our economy is the target of malicious cyberattacks. anyone who owns a computer needs to be village -- vigilant to prevent attacks. targets.ons are prime universities can thrive as marketplaces of ideas and engines of research and development on if their work is protected from theft. events highlight the need for university and all organizations to emphasize a cyber security, increase threat awareness, and heart and computer networks. the second important point is that our work on this case is critically important because it will disrupt the activities of the institute and will deserve similar crimes by other perpetrators. this kind of public identification helps to deter state sponsored computer intrusions by stripping hackers of anonymity and by imposing .eal consequences revealing the institutes nefarious actions make it harder for them to do business. additionally we are going to help neutralize their hacking infrastructure. by bringing in these criminal cha

also jeffrey toobin. trump is right to say special counsel should never have been appointed. could you say that because he is very publicly echoing your argument. >> well, he paraphrased what i said. i wrote it in an article on "the hill," and as long as ten months ago, i wrote an op-ed entitled special counsel is the wrong way to uncover the truth. i've always believed that. i think the issue is russia's involvement in the election, it's a systemic issue. we should have appointed a bipartisan, non-partisan commission like they do in england and israel to do an open investigation, which the public could see, about russia's involvement in elections and how to stop it. instead of doing that, we appointed a special counsel whose job was to find crimes, whether there were crimes or not, we still don't know. collusion is not a crime. obstruction of justice may not be a crime if the president engages in it as part of his constitutional authority. so i still take the position that it was a mistake to appoint a s

jeffrey, give some advice to the europeans so—called islamic state our last discussion on russia washat do the europeans do? do theyjust say, though, have your silly tariff and we will not play this game, or should they retaliate? there really is no good response. pippa is right about trump wanting to create a sense of unpredictability. he prides himself on that. and so a lot of people here and abroad don't know what he is going to do. but the rumours are the expectations are that he will announce an action tomorrow, and that that action is going to be effective in two weeks. so this is not something that will be pushed off for a long time, paper, this will be implemented soon. what is at issue right now, still under debate, is whether some countries will be exempted and whether some products will be exempted from the coverage. very briefly, you found it very difficult to try and get someone to defend it on the programme this evening, except the voters. the voters are shying away from globalisation. they may say, we would like to pay more for steel and have a steel injury. what is mo

jeffrey: one of two things.will see if the president sits down for a interview and we have reports the parties are talking. that is not surprising but sooner or later will -- he will have to agree, and the ball is in mr. mueller's court. mueller is not what this that the wake the president decides he is not going to talk to him. something is going to happen. the second big will see is whether or not trump takes the actions that i discussed, which is fire the attorney general or deputy attorney general. the last week has seen a heightened escalation from this president, very personal against mr. mueller. it is not a coincidence we have this new lawyer coming on board now. points, all great jeffrey cramer from chicago, we'll talk about this in the days and months to come. thank you so much. if you look at the markets right now, they have taken another leg lower and wonder if there is a connection to the president or during these chinese tariffs against chinese goods. i was around the time indexes began declining.

well, we here at "the late show" have acquired exclusive audio of jeffrey's internal monologue. >> no gal vonnic skin response? >> oh, god. when will this be over? i want to go home. why am i even here? i'm an author for god's sake. now both sides of my face are covered in spittle and it smells like garlic and brut cologne.ñrd damn you, anderson cooper.ñr damn you to hell.çóxdÑi >> stephen: it will be over soon, jeffrey. it will be over soon. ( applause ) >> stephen: but at least trump has a lawyer in the stormy daniels case, which is more than he can say for the russia investigation. last week, trump's lead attorney resigned -- and, for a minute, it looked like trump was going to replace him with husband and wife lawyer team, victoria toensing and her husband, joseph digenova, seen here playing the evil foster parents who want to send beethoven to the pound. but then they said they couldn't do it because of conflicts of interest. and yesterday, trump was rejected by two more prominent attorneys, tom buchanan and dan webb, who both rejected an offer to join president trump's legal tea

jeffrey, i say it is unusual. does it ever happen?is like a former president weighing in on their predecessor right after they leave office. and that doesn't take place. >> i can't think of a justice writing an op-ed calling for the repeal of a constitutional amendment before. the historical precedent that comes to mind is jechief justic tommy self publishes hoping someone will pay attention. so this is a remarkable and striking departure. >> take us back to civics class. remind us what is necessary to the repeal of a constitutional amendment. >> it is a very hard thing to do. generally you need two-thirds of both houses of congress to propose the amendment and three quarters of the state legislatures to approve it. therefore justice stevens' claim that repeal of the second amendment would be easy seems overly optimistic. >> and to the point that lawrence tri investment and others make that this is the worst strategy because it plays politically speaking in to the hands of the nra, provide me your assessment. . >> i think professor tr

let's bring in our analyst to assess jeffrey toobin. i assume you've gone through these multiple pages of this legal document, suing michael cohen. does she have a case? >> well let me tell you what i think is going on here. the problem that michael avenatti has for stormy daniels is that if this contract that she has will with michael cohen essentially is valid, he has to go into arbitration to fight it. and arbitration is a secret process with limited discovery. everything michael avenatti has done has been geared toward getting this out of arbitration and into federal court where he can take depositions. where he can take a deposition of michael cohen and us specially of president trump and this lawsuit today is another attempt to get out of arbitration, filing a definition lawsuit is something that can only be tried in court and if he gets past a motion to dismiss -- which he may, he is very likely to be able to take at least michael cohen's deaf sigs so all of his efforts from focused that way and initially he seems to be doing wel

jeffrey, thank you.reciate you being here. >> thank you. >>> still to come your best and worst tweets and facebook comments. what have we got? unfortunately, it's this kind of talk that makes conversation about common sense gun laws difficult. 's swinging the pendulum too far. that's laurence tribe's position at harvard, justice stevens, don't do it. all you're doing is playing into the hands of the nra because this is what they have been telling people we have wanted for years and we don't. it's unnecessary. and it's impractical. remember, if you have not been to my website, it's smerconish.com and cast a ballot on the poll question of the day because i'm about to give you the result. roseanne's rating success which is it more attributable to -- the show's politics or the show's quality? di e? you don't want to live with mom and dad forever, do you? i'm making smoothies! how do i check my credit score? credit karma. don't worry, it's free. credit karma. give yourself some credit. at holiday inn express,

jeffrey, final question here on stormy daniels. we began the week with stormy. we will end with stormy. a federal judge ruled against this motion for michael avenatti to depose the president and his attorney michael cohen right now saying you have to wait on this. avenatti is sawing this is a legal victory. he didn't say no, not never. so we win here. what's the reality here? >> the reality is the big issue has yet to be resolved in that case. will the judge send it to arbitration and throw it out of court. avenatti wants to be in federal court where he can take depositions, interview the president and michael cohen under oath. if the case goes to arbitration, he has very little chance of doing that. the judge said i'm not dealing with any of these discovery issues until i resolve the arbitration question. avenatti is wrong that it was a victory but he's right that it is not a defeat. it is the judge saying let's deal with this step by step. and the real issue unresolved so far is will the case be sent to arbitration. >> i will be interviewing michael avenatti c

charles: jeffrey, he's going to have to be careful not to spook the market, right?her words, he's optimistic and maybe, you know, will he see inflation? how does he articulate that, hey, i'm with you, i'm not going to ruin the party, and only going to do what i have to do? >> well, i think the market now has adjusted to the three rate hike scenario, that is almost fully priced in. what's not priced in, charles is a four rate hike scenario. at the start of the year, that was seen as a very far-fetched scenario. maybe a one third chance now in the eyes of the financial market. he could stick to the three hikes and i don't think that spooks the market. if he does introduce the idea of four or, charles, if we are going to see tomorrow not just jerome powell speak but we'll see new economic projections from the new fomc, wul see all the dots, and if the dots, the median members sees four rate hikes this year, that's not priced in, that could cause volatility. charles: jeffrey cleveland, as usual, great stuff. >> good to see you. >> critics are questioning whether public

first i'm joined by chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin and there are some legal questions here, jeffreyif you listen to what she's saying, she's suggesting that the fact of her relationship, you know, there was an attempt to cover it up, with a payment from this organization that was close to the president. >> oh, absolutely. and david pecker, who was the head of ami, which owns "the national enquirer," i did a profile of him for the new yorker, and i asked about this whole situation. about the payments to karen mcdougal, and he said very explicitly, i paid that money because i wanted to get donald trump elected president and i paid her and didn't run the story. i did that as a service to my friend donald trump so this was clearly, you know, you can call it conspiracy, not a criminal conspiracy, but an agreement to help donald trump by burying the story. >> it looks likes an in kind contribution, by the way, if you're doing something to help someone get elected, that involves other than $100,000, that sounds like a contribution. >> that money also went to pay for certain articles she wo

consider it truly tragic and insane that i'm speaking for for millions and millions of americans jeffrey appreciate your time and your thoughts jeffrey took as my guest editorial director at the american institute for economic research a pleasure. onto other news militants in the syrian rebel enclave of these thing going to have shelled a civilian convoy according to russia's defense ministry three hundred families were in that convoy trying to flee the area multiple casualties have been reported but i guess the looks into the story. according to the russian military the three hundred families had allegedly gathered together to leave eastern ghouta crossing the frontlines is always dangerous so it's best done when there's a safe window with the agreement of both deliverance the syrian government was waiting for them the rebels in this he knew what was going on and shelled them they reportedly shelled the procession of civilians i mean a kilometer before they were out of east ghouta and then to top it all off they shelled the relatives and journalists waiting in the syrian side at the end

but a columnist jeffrey tucker says it could actually force key u.s. allies to seek new trade partners. so it seems as if every european nation is is washing their hands of the u.s. we're no longer trust through trade partners in light of this and so europe is seeking other allies china canada australia or anywhere in the world the us and this has been growing for some months is that i say this is becoming isolated and in the global economy and let's not make any mistake about this in the twenty first century there's no such thing as nations when it comes to economic affairs anymore and we all must cooperate together and the u.s. is excluding itself and giving up its credibility trump and spirit here it is contrary to the national interest and the good of the global economy. shelled a refugee convoy trying to leave the rebel and terrorists controlled syrian and clove of eastern guta the russian defense ministry has confirmed that several civilians were killed in the assault artie's. takes a look at different factors now hampering the russian sponsored

t we have cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin and harvard emeritus professor, allen dershowitz.e being pumped out by president trump as proof there should be no special counsel. you made a strong argument in the hill where you suggested there was no crime so there needed to be no special counsel. let's start the debate there with this question to you, you know better than i for sure, that the language establishing this special counsel wasn't just about looking for crimes, certainly specific to the int interference and what arises out of it. and also to coordination of those efforts, so the standard of looking for probable cause of a crime was not part of the purview of this special counsel. why are you so adamantly oppose to its existence? >> i've been opposed to the special counsel from the beginning, along with many judges, the advice of the special counsel is they have better come up with proof of a crime, otherwise they have wasted the public's money. in terms of coordination, it's not a crime to coordinate with russia, you have to find criminal conduct. >> but he's not char

wants to fully cooperate with the investigation, why would he be creating that red line which as jeffrey toobin pointed out has no legal meaning. if he exercised that, took the actions you're talking about, it would be a crisis, particularly at a political moment in time when an awful lot of my republican colleagues watching what happened in pennsylvania two nights ago are feeling nervous what it means to be affiliated with this president. >> could be a political crisis, could be a constitutional crisis as well if he goes too far in this area. lot of people are worried about that. as you know, the trump administration today finally enacted new sanctions against russia, a month and a half after the deadline imposed by congress as you know, including sanctions against a dozen russians indicted by special counsel robert mueller. the president as you know called this entire russia probe a witch-hunt, a ruse. but now the administration is going forward with sanctions, at least in part related to those allegedly involved. >> i guess i make two observations, wolf. number one, it's not enough. w
