a lot going on, john dean, you tweeted about personal experience you don't visit seven times if you'reto indict. how can you be so confident of that? the fact that they brought him in for a seventh time, couldn't you also read into it that they are sort of just fishing? >> well, not likely at this stage. what they're doing can be a couple things. one is the prosecutors are trying to get familiar with the witness more likely in this instance because of the treasure trove of information they obtained evidence from is to get guidance and insight into what some of those documents mean, give them more people who might know about various affairs that are revealed by the documents. an insider, as i once was can give insights that prosecutors can't otherwise get and that's why you don't -- you're not going to do this to find exculpatory evidence. they are narrowing the case to see what they will bring against the president and possibly his family. >> the allegation of hush money paid to stormy daniels, porn store won't be a line item deduction. could michael cohen help guide investigators how

power for more on this in the state of trade between the united states and china let's bring in john dean of the miami herbert business school and boom bust co-host christy i thank you both for being here christy i want to start with you what issues are we expecting to be discussed in beijing this week . while the big domestic policy at hand is to promote technological and to. and that has become a think priority ever since the trade war and sanctions which have revealed china's dependence on u.s. semi's so this agenda is to prioritize tech is meant to propel the economy into the future and establish itself as a global superpower so the 5 year plan is to boost the domestic market and reduce its dependence on the outside world and some other key issues that this meeting will address will also include growth targets analysts estimate that girls will average about 5.5 percent year over year compared with a target of more than 6 percent in the previous plans then there's also the stimulus withdrawal analysts expect that statements with broad to be mild and focus on reducing excessive debt gro

i agree with john dean that it's likely that michael cohen is is going to be significant.y may have him reviewing the millions of pages of information they have gleaned and having him point to -- for example, he testified they changed the valuation of property depending on whether they wanted to get a loan, in which case they would escalate the value, or if they wanted a tax deduction, in which case they would deflate it. he could point to the records that show exactly that. he could be a very useful witness. >> i want to turn to the investigation in georgia. we learned the fulton county d.a. hired a top racketeering lawyer. what does that tell you, jill? >> first of all, i would never have guessed that in talking about a president of the united states that my experience as an organized crime prosecutor would be more relevant than my watergate experience, but it is, because when you look at the two recordings in georgia, it's not the president saying i want you to break the law. he talks in the way that mafia dons talk. it's sort of in code and everybody understands exactl

reacting to that news, john dean tweeted, i assure you, you do not visit a prosecutor's office sevenot planning to indict those about whom you have knowledge. it is only a matter of how many days until da vance indicts donald and company. joining me now glen kushner. glen, my friend, good to see you. bring us up to speed on what you think is happening. there was a lot of talk about when donald trump finally leaves office, will these things all come home to roost? tell me what you believe is happening with the manhattan district attorney? >> it is funny you said john dean said that he was on the witness side of the equation. >> right. >> and when he hears about somebody meeting with prosecutors so many times it is an indication they're probably moving forward indictment at trial. i was on the prosecution side of that same equation for 30 years, and i can tell you when i was handling cases that would take me a week or two or three to try, i might meet with a witness two or three times to prepare him or her for trial. but when i was in big rico trials i was in trial once for six months,

john dean, the former white house counsel to president nixon reacted to this yesterday and he said, ie not planning to indict those about whom you have knowledge. it's important note, this is a complex financial investigation. it involves taxes and real estate, of which there are their own unique set of rules. this is an investigation that is still underway. it has picked up in its pace, but the prosecutors had only obtained late last month millions of documents from donald trump's former accountant or donald trump's accountant. they now have these millions of pages of documents that they're going through and we're going to see a lot more of these interviews continue. alisyn? >> we'll see if john dean is right, it's just a matter of days away from an indictment of some kind. meanwhile, also involving former president trump, there's this new recording published by "the wall street journal" of another phone call, yet another phone call that he had with this time george's lead election investigators. this was in december. what does this one reveal? >> reporter: right, alisyn. this is the

other and china was able to divide and rule between them if them interesting to see what happens dean john quality of the money or a business school bus goes kristie i think you both for that expert analysis. thank you. and the european the medicines agency that used drug regulator says it has started rolling reviews of russia's sputnik vico but 19 vaccine early reviews are meant to speed up the approval process by allowing researchers to submit findings as they come in in real time rather than waiting for final trial data to be released despite the review by the a.m.a. e.u. officials say they have no current plans to add the russian vaccine to its rollout while clarifying the regulators decision would only be based on health related criteria currently no talks are only going to integrate discipline exacts in the portfolio i would like to stress however that strategy is a joint strategy that needs a strategy which has been designed and implemented with as the member states commission and member states together and so member states and commission may decide at any time to integrate all thos

they were essential to all of the potential defendants, including john dean, his white house counsel who said, listen to the tapes. nixon was talking about paying hush money. elliott richardson told me that he had met with nixon multiple times to calm his fears about cox, and he said archie cox would cut off his right arm then do anything improper or politically motivated. nixon just scouted him from across the desk. because he assumed political motive in everything. cox really did not want a constitutional showdown. he knew there was a legitimate question here based on the notion of executive privilege, as to whether he really did have the power to subpoena those tapes from the chief executive. i can tell you, most people don't realize this but scholars at that time would have put their money on nixon in this battle. again, he had just won a major reelection victory, and the argument was why should a special prosecutor who was an elected or the courts even tell a president what he has to disclose from the inter sank them of the white house? it was very much open question at this tim

that was enough to make john dean, former white house counsel to president nixon to say that basicallyords, it is only a matter of how many days until mr. vance indicts donald trump and others. what you think of that choice? >> well, dave, maybe a little bit optimistic. but michael cohen plays an important role for prosecutors. he now has millions of pages of documents, the debtor that underlies trump's taxes and other financial records. and it is such a help for them to have someone who can explain it. who better than the president's former lawyer? probably present for a lot of meetings and conversations, familiar with issues that get reflected in texas. so, it is no surprise that they have had: intro much work and it would seem to indicate that they are very interested in what is contained in the papers that they finally received. >> what do you think of that call in georgia? the one that the wall street journal reported on. how does that affect the overall investigation, do you think? >> you know, joshua, i have been thinking about these calls a lot. both of them. and, obviously wha

. >> well, and -- and, jill, on that note, former-watergate witness, john dean, tweeted you do not visitf days until the da does so. given your experience with watergate, do you feel like formal charges are imminent? >> i think it's going to come. i'm not sure whether it's days away. the volume of materials that were delivered to the da's office means that they have to be reviewed carefully. because you don't want to go ahead with your indictment, until you have all the evidence, at your disposal. and i think there is a lot that could be done, even by using michael cohen, as someone to help them review all those documents. he's testified about them changing the valuation of property, to get benefits for tax purposes, by lowering it. getting loans, by raising it. he can point to those things, in the documents, that help support those allegations. so, i think, maybe, one of the reasons that he's coming back. and this time, i think he's going in person. it's not a virtual visit. is he's help them go through documents. i think, there's a lot that can be done in that office. and you, also, ha

percent from 29 teams so for more on all of this let's bring in blue bus co-host christine and john quelch is the dean of the miami river business school thank you both for being here christy i want to start with you it seems like this is actually years long campaign against weiwei is finally paying off as the u.s. sanctions hammered at its business and sales outside of china how is wall way of coping with this. well last year was probably one of the most challenging years for the company with operations feeling the full impact of washington's earlier decision to add holly to the entities that so that restricted its ability to buy hardware software and services from american suppliers with down direct on the u.s. government so although early on fall i had stockpiled enough chips in the fire for its enterprise business that was only a temporary fix was 500 and suffered the most out of all the states and segments with the company showing signs of difficulty sourcing the advanced chips needed to run its handsets due to export restrictions so holly has noted that the ira has severely limited its capabilit

>> a few days ago i was in the studio with dean martin and john stewart and now here i am in vietnamt. we snatched you off the lot you are doing a picture called band illiberal what is that about. >> i was played playing a young widow who was kidnapped by outlaws. >> who is the dumb dumb that says that crime does not pay? >> jimmy stewart is great isn't he. >> don't forget dean martin. >> he leaves a vapor trail. >> give me the inside scoop, what do they do lean the cameras so he looks like he standing up? >> bob that's all publicity, it's just the image he likes to project. like you pretend to be a great lover? >> all right who squealed? >> les brown told me the tiger in your tank was really a pussycat. >> are you going to listen to a man who was turned down from the service because he had to left lips? >> reckon you worked with some of the biggest stars in hollywood, which one of us is your favorite leading man? as >> you mean among the young actors, or one of the older guys like paul newman, or younger like franky avalon? >> somebody around the age of paul, given a bit or not. >>

and i'm pit stop about it. >> john: let's bring in janice dean, both of her parents died from covid in warning was out and it was ignored. >> yes, i'm proud of michael and we need more whistle-blowers. i've talked to nursing home owners and people who work in the nursing home and they are afraid to talk. they tell me they felt like they had no choice but to accept covid positive patients in nursing homes and they had no ppe. that my father-in-law's nursing home, they were wearing garbage bags. garbage bags. there were bodies piling up and storage facilities, storage trucks. and this governor has been nerve to go on television and say, who cares? they died. whether they died in a nursing home or hospital, who cares? you just saw so many beautiful families that want answers. i want a bipartisan investigation to find out what were the origins of the march 25th order? why did you put over 9,000 covid positive patients in a nursing home and live for months did you cover it up? >> sandra: janice, it's hard not to have such an emotional reaction to your story and to theirs. daniel mussina, he

lloyd minor did research on the inner ear and out johns hopkins and stanford where he is dean of medicinew do we sell the part of america that is afraid of science, that are reticent to take the vaccine? what is your best practice for the politicians in washington? >> is good to be with you. i think the science does carry a lot of weight. it needs to be explained in ways that is meaningful and understandable to people and also how we behave as health care professionals in terms of our getting in line to get the vaccine when appropriate and communicating that these vaccines are safe and effective. among the most effective vaccines and safest vaccines we have seen for any disease or any condition. tom: what we need to do to get in front of the people? i get that we will get back percent of people -- we will get x percent of people vaccinated. it is the next 10% or 20% i am worried about. is it a public affairs thing? is it a media campaign? dr. minor: i think it is all of those. a lot of convincing people of the safety of the vaccine is seeing others who are vaccinated, seeing the results,

jessica dean, now to the white house and cnn senior washington correspondent joe johns. the president just spoke a short time ago after covid relief bill passed down party lines and asked specifically about that. what did he say? >> reporter: well, this is a victory lap as you know so he was trying to keep it upbeat but also made it very clear he was pushing republicans, pressuring republicans and said republicans came very close, at least some of them did to supporting the bill, probably the significance is that joe biden says he's not done with this yet. he's going to continue to try to restore bipartisanship to washington, dc which will likely be a challenge. listen. >> the drama of the last 24 hours including with senator mansion tell you about the next 4 years? >> they're going to be good. we're going to succeed moving forward. look, the american people strongly support what we're doing. that's the key here. continue through the public including with our republican friends. there's a lot of republicans who came very close, got a lot of pressure on them. still haven'

and it was then that john kennedy purged the national commission. he fired 14 of 22 people on it. the dean of american historians came on as chairman. he was a close friend of kennedy's. in fact, the profiles in encourage, the vice chairman of the commission was from a congressman from the first district of iowa and i was teaching at the university of iowa in the district and heard me and thought i had potential. i had to spend the first six months traveling around the country mending fences because nobody was speaking to anybody. the midwest, the northeastern commissions, and no two were speaking to the third at any given time. we got it straightened out and i think we got a -- had a very successful centennial. you got age against you. and the centennial a lot of grandsons and great-grandsons were alive. indeed the u.s. grant iii was the chairman of the commission. but now, 50 years later, you got two generations have passed and war is more distant. life is more complex today than it was then. back in the '50s, we were a comparatively speaking a simple people. now it's hard to concentrate

dean on the hill for us, thank you. >>> republicans have voiced their objections to the covid relief plan. john, the gop is arguing there is nothing in the bill for schools. fact check that for us. >> that is false. in fact, there is $130 billion set aside for schools which, last i checked, is far more than nothing. around 6 billion of that will be spent in this calendar year but it would go to things like improving school ventilation, reducing class size, increase ppe, all things about reopening schools as fast as possible consistent with safety. >> senate minority leader mitch mcconnell claimed on tuesday that about 9% of the money in the bill is in the health care space, is that right? >> that is broadly right. mcconnell has a point here. you know, the money that is going to health care is wide-reaching. however, it's going to dramatically expand testing and contact tracing which has not been adequately funded in the past, improve vaccination and accelerate that further. but the bulk of the money in this bill is going to things like individual stimulus checks, unemployment relief and relief

year and he joins us, the vice dean of public health practice and community engagement at the bloomberg school of public health. dr. sharfstein, there must be a constraint. john 3 million vaccines. to me it is the volunteers and the nurses and staff with syringe in hand. is that a real constraint we have in getting this vaccine out evermore? dr. sharfstein: right now it's still a supply constraint, they are waiting on new doses. there are a lot of potential volunteers and if it's well-planned i'm sure the u.s. could deliver even more vaccines every day. at a certain point we will have a certain number of people eager to get a vaccine and it will turn into a longer battle of getting to vaccines -- vaccines to people where they are. tom: i think of the courage of dolly parton outfront, she was out front with a lot of images two weeks ago or so, do we need a campaign now to get us out to the need in may or june? dr. sharfstein: yes, i think that is starting to happen. i love dolly parton's message. i think we will see more coordinated efforts and not just one national message, but targeted messages, different communities that really explain the value. this is a

johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health. she's led the development of guidance on a phased reopening since last year. and dr. ashish jha the deanbrown university skoofl public health. great to have you both. kaitlyn, let me start with you. there was back and forth about when this guidance was going to come out, if it was going to be -- if there were going to be very, very risk averse in what they told folks. what's your reaction to what the cdc unveiled today? >> i think it's really exciting for people to have a clear path forward, to get back to a normal life. it's a little bit on the conservative side, but i think that's good given the data we have available. and i think going forward we'll be able to have a lot more flexibility to do things that are important to us when fully vaccinated. >> dr. jha, one of the things i think is hard about this part of the conversation here, we talk about what the science says. and you know, there are some things that are very clear and black and white and a lot of things about a risk spectrum. everybody's been sort of dealing with that from the beginning. but it again even more complicated n
