but i'm thinking about muhammad ali. in fact, we are doing ali.mendations on muhammad what? [indiscernible question] president trump: no. no, i'm not above the law. i don't want anybody to be above the law, the pardons are a very important thing for the president. and i have an absolute right to pardon myself but i won't do it because i didn't do anything wrong. there has been no clution. there has been no obstruction. it's all a made-up fantasy and witch hunt. no col like. the democrats have had massive collusion and obstruction and see what is happening. [indiscernible question] president trump: i haven't even thought about it. i haven't thought about it. it certainly is far too early to be think about that. they haven't been convicted of anything. there is nothing to pardon. far too early to be thinking about it. [indiscernible question] president trump: scott pruitt is doing a great job. we are setting records. you are seeing these attacks viciously by the press, and not saying he is blameless. >> he is an embarrassment. aren't you tired of it? president trump: we have 3

so he talked about muhammad ali.eporters asked him have you thought about pardoning paul manafort or michael cohen, his personal attorney. here's what he said about that. >> i haven't even thought about it. i haven't even thought about it. i haven't thought about any of it. it certainly is far too early to be thinking about that. they haven't been convicted of anything. there's nothing to pardon. it's far too early to be thinking about it. >> so he didn't exactly rule it out, david. >> not at all. and he has ruled other things out when he's been asked. he's making a very deliberate move to leave some space for himself in the future if he wants to. he goes on to say that he could pardon himself, that he has power to do so but he doesn't need to do so because he has done nothing wrong. he holds out the possibility that he may think about pardoning these guys down the road. one of the conversations about the president's moment of pardons has been this speculative notion, is he sending a signal to others that he's willin

i am looking at muhammad ali. but those are the famous people. one way it's easier and people find it fascinating. but i want to do people that are unfairly treated like an alice where she comes out and there's something beautiful. what i am seeking to do, we have a lot of people in the nfl, in particular, but in sports leagues they're not proud enough to stand for our national anthem. i don't like that. what i'm going to do is i'm going to say to them, instead of talk -- it's all talk, talk, talk. we have a great country. you should stand for our national anthem. you shouldn't go in a locker room when our national anthem is played. i am going to ask all of those people to recommend to me, because that's what they're protesting. people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system. and i understand that. and i'm going to ask them to recommend to me people that were unfairly treated. friends of theirs or people that they know about, and i'm going to take a look at those applications and if i find and my committee finds they are unfai

i'm thinking about muhammad ali. i'm thinking about that very seriously. and some others. and some folks that have sentences that aren't there, but i'm thinking about muhammad ali. >> what will it take -- >> in fact we're doing right now recommendations -- frankly we're doing recommendations on muhammad ali. >> [inaudible]. >> what? >> [inaudible]. >> no, i'm not above the law. i never want anybody to be above the law. but the pardons are a very positive thing for a president. i think you see the way i'm using them. yes, i do have an absolute right to pardon myself. but i will never have to do it because i didn't do anything wrong. and everybody knows it. there's been no collusion. there's been no obstruction. it's all a made-up fantasy. it is a witch hunt. no collusion. no obstruction. no nothing. now the democrats have had massive collusion, massive obstruction, and they should be investigated with what's happening. yeah? >> [inaudible]. >> i haven't even thought about it. >> [inaudible]. >> i haven't thought about any of it. it certainly is far too early to be thinking

not only that, if you're going to pardon muhammad ali if he was one that could do it, muhammad ali stoodof his muslim faith. here's the man, the proponent of muslim bans, one of the greatest islamophobia pardon ali, someone who is what he's opposed to. >> we're dancing around something that is uncomfortable reality. presidents are in my opinion too stingy with the power to pardon. there are a lot of people deserving of pardons. the issue here is the president's motive. you know, football players on your knee, bring me your names. kim kardashian did something great. this isn't about -- in its own way this is norm busting with a mixed result. i think pardoning more people might be a good thing, but this is not being done from a place of mercy or of deliberate thoughtfulness or review of the cases. jeb bush had the power to pardon. i sat through the cases. they were wrenching, they were character witnesses. that is not the president's role. he even managed to debase i process where good may come of it. he likes the support he gets when he does do the pardons. he liked the positive headlines

i'm thinking about muhammad ali.about that very seriously. >> seems like maybe that wouldn't be a controversial pick, something many would celebrate if it weren't for one thing. muhammad ali doesn't need a pardon at all. the supreme court overturned his conviction of dodging the draft in 1971. ali's attorney put out a statement saying that essentially. there is no conviction from which a pardon is needed, he wrote. beyond that, the brez president looking to combine two of his passions, his power to pardon and attacks on football players kneeling in protest during the national anthem. >> we have a great country, you should stand for our national anthem. you shouldn't go in a locker room when our national anthem is played. i am going to ask all of those people to recommend to me because that's what they're protesting. people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system. and i understand that. and i'm going to ask them to recommend to me people that were unfairly treated, friends of theirs or people that

here's the president on this topic. >> i'm thinking about muhammad ali.'m thinking about that very seriously. and some others and some folks that having sentences that aren't there. but i am thinking about muhammad ali. >> what will it take for you to fire -- >> we're doing recommendations right now on frankly we're doing recommendations on muhammad ali. >> here's the thing, the supreme court overturned that conviction against ali in '71. the family lawyer said as much in a statement released to the president "we appreciate president trump's sentiment but a pardon is unnecessary. the u.s. supreme court overturned the conviction of ali in a unanimous decision in 1971. there is no conviction for which a pardon is needed." >> what i would like to understand about this is not just why he's thinking about muhammad ali. >> you know why, he's popular. >> but here's the thing. he has a problem with current nfl players who are protesting violence against black men by taking a knee, not respecting according to president the anthem. but he doesn't -- but he's consid

muhammad babar didn't actually see action in afghanistan and pakistan, but he did provide materials, sleeping bags, night vision goggles to al qaeda. he participatedn training camp in 2004 where some of the 7/7 bombers as well as a member of a plot called crevice in the uk were involved. again, this group and its sp spinoffs, deadly connections. in talking about revolution muslim, you have to understand in the united states, there was a spinoff cal the islamist thinkers society in new york city. jesse and one of his colleagues left the thinkers society to found revolution muslim. because, frankly, islamic thinkers society, all they did was talk. they weren't provacative enough. as a result, they spun off into revolution muslim. in our paper we talk about the origins and you have to go back to the 1950s in the middle east. that just provides some of the background, you know, for it. why we thought this topic was so important, and what was always on my mind in thinking about the revolution muslim and the unknown stories, was that revolution muslim was responsible for the 15 different i

well muhammad if you think about it in the u.k. and it's shocking to me the number one name in the u.k. is muhammad the number two name in the u.k. so much. and i find that from a demographic perspective it's very frightening that actually by twenty fifty they'll be more muslim in the u.k. than there will be british births and i find that actually quite distressing you know i have a kid who is born into a muslim father he's four years old called moment he his name is different it don't know how many it is a muslim name but is it it is not mohammed that it is a muslim name i wonder well i mean i would have called him mohammad there but that everyone is called mohammed so how do you know who's your. oh i think in a rush i would have left their problem finding mohammad you a question if you have a list of how but first let me ask you a question would you ban your kids from playing with my kid because he has. as long as he had i mean it wasn't really done on names alone i could tell what a kid would be like with their names but it was

if he accepts muhammad ali for being right for what he did and wants to give him a pardon, then thate going out to all those people who kneel." ephraim, what do you make of that comment? >> i think, first of all, she was spot on, but the fact that he wants to pardon muhammad ali, whose conviction was overturned by the supreme court, really lets you know that he really doesn't have a, you know, a touch with reality. like he just is throwing this pardon thing out because he's getting -- it's a buzz word for him. he capitalizes on buzz words and uses it to change the narrative. if you want to change the narrative, let's sit let's talk about the actual cause of the protest. he's not one time sat down and said, hey, let's address this issue. hey, look, guys, i know you don't want to be unpatriotic by kneeling, so let's talk about what you really want to talk about. all this would have gone away because an open dialogue into what we actually are trying to get accomplished in our communities would have been had by the president and these players and the owners and the nfl in general. just g

donald trump talked about pardons including one for muhammad ali.among the 3,000 pardons the president says he's considering. >> saying he'd want to pardon anyone treated unfairly by the justice system. criticized nfl players for their anthem protests saying they weren't proud enough to stand before suggesting they submit names for apparent pardons. joining us now, peter alexander. peter, first, we should point out so the president is saying those athletes are not proud enough to stand. those who chose to take a knee, it has nothing to do with pride. the first person to do it was collin kaepernick. he reached out to a veteran and said what is my -- what is the best way for me to show my respect but at the same time voice my opinion. that veteran said to him, when we go to the cemetery to see a fallen soldier, that's how we express ourselves. taking a knee is absolutely not disrespecting veterans, the country, or the flag. it's peacefully expressing your freedom m of speech. >> the bottom line, we heard from the president. i was in front of him durin

we noted the possibility of muhammad ali. felt like it was out of the trump playbook where he was looking for a headline. recognize the supreme court overturned muhammad ali's conviction 8-0 years ago and there was a proclamation by jimmy carter that basically gave general amnesty to draft dodgers. so muhammad ali, now deceased, wouldn't necessarily need that pardon. stephanie. >> you are so professional in the way you just relayed that. i mean, give me a break on your muhammad ali. at the very least, do your homework, mr. president. we do have to point out the president was critical that when we played that clip of him talking about being prepared for the north korea summit, we didn't add what he said at the end, and he was critical, he said, i've been preparing all my life. i'd love to know, mr. president, when was that, when you appeared in playboy soft core porn movie? or when it was when you were leaking information, talking to tabloids about what a great lover you were? my panel, eddie gloud, princeton university profes

we have pictures of people like paul robeson, an athlete, muhammad ali. all of them had public moments of protest. of course, the black power salutes at the 1968 olympics. protests there. kareem abdul-jabbar who didn't even play at the 1968 olympics because of protesting civil rights and the like. people have forgotten this. remind us of the history through some of these black athletes of the past. >> absolutely. you have a break here. if you are of a certain generation, you remember muhammad ali and bill russell and jim brown and john carlos. there's a long history, a heritage of african-american athletes being involved. the argument i make in the book is that black athlete is the most influential, most visible black employee this country has produced. they felt that they had a responsibility to get involved because they were the ones who made it. they were the ones who integrated the country. let's not forget it was in baseball that integrated the country before the military. then from 40 year period after that in the 1970s, '80s, '90s. michael juror do

muhammad ali claims representatives of fauzia's family came to see him and akhter‘s father.different people allege different things about who received money to drop the case. but none of it can be proved, and fauzia's family deny paying anybody anything. i wanted to speak to akhter‘s father directly. this is where akhter‘s body now lies, largely forgotten amidst the negotiations, squabbling, and accusations of money. it would be easy to blame these families for seeming to give up on the chance ofjustice for their dead children in exchange for a few thousand dollars. but when you see the kind of poverty that they live in, then perhaps it becomes completely understandable. the problem is that if no one is ever punished for these crimes, they'll never stop. i wanted to ask fauzia about the allegations against her myself, but couldn't get an answer. fauzia livesjust up the road here. we have had no response to our allegations. we have been told that at the time of akhter‘s death, fauzia was working as a some sort of teacher. and now because there was no conviction, there is noth

and we all praised muhammad ali because they forget the revolutionhe was. >> in the time, in the moment he wasn't necessarily celebrated. but history has been very kind to him and people see him for the hero that he was and is. listen, this all comes, scott, on the heels of the nfl seeming to appease the president by ruling that teams must stand during the national anthem or stay in the locker room. trump got whnted. why is he adding more fuel to the fire? >> two things .i think he felt like he was being set up to have an event where he was going to be embarrassed at his own venue and he wasn't willing to do that. mb like every time this is in the news, this whole issue of standing for the national anthem, thatt's a political winner. what i fear for the president is that i actually believe he may be on the cusp of locking in some gains with the african-american community based on his work on criminal ju reform, based on some of the people on this point of view on certain issue, based on unemployment drops of african-americans. i fear these kinds of issues are roadblocks in making those

except for one problem, muhammad ali's conviction was overturned unanimously by the supreme court.us or how much thinking is going on, but on the question of self-pardoning, there is no supreme court decision. you're right there in front of the capital building. right down the street, the supreme court may have to decide that question. >> yes, so the ali family attorney, you know, said thanks, we appreciate that, but it really won't be necessary because, you know, the supreme court had overturned that back in the day and perhaps the president just wasn't up on all of his research on that item, richard, but he did elude to thousands of considerations being made. is it your view he'll make these considers on his own or will he be using the justice department's pardon advisory program? >> does it surprise you he wasn't up to speed open the law, the rules and regulations? not me, fred. it's unbelievable. you know, the pardoning power that the president has in article 2 of the constitution. there it is. it gives him broad discretionary power to pardon and/or to commute sentences. you sa

i am picking about muhammad ali.as for some others, and some folks that have sentences that are unfair, but i'm picking about muhammad ali. in fact, we are doing recommendations right now on muhammad ali. what, peter? [indiscernible] pres. trump: no, no. i am not above the law. i never what anybody to be above the law, but the pardons are a very positive thing for a president. you can see the way i am using them, and yes, i have an absolute right to pardon myself, but i don't have to do because i did not do anything wrong, and everybody knows it. there has been no collusion. there has been no obstruction. it is all a made-up fantasy, a witchhunt. no collusion, no structure, no nothing. now, the democrats have had massive collusion, massive obstruction, and they should be investigated. we will see what happens. yeah?
