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'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

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

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

muhammad ali, he doesn't really need a pardon as he's had his conviction, you know, overturned. uld be a addition for the president, but muhammad a ali's not necessarily someone who needs a presidential pardon. >> quick moving today, eugene, alan, charlie, thanks for stopping by. >>> climate accord, trade, nato, and iran. just a few of the clashes the president has been involved in with other foreign leaders. for now, is donald trump a threat to world order? i've always been about what's next. i'm still giving it my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. so what's next? seeing these guys. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an

right now on frankly we're doing recommendations on muhammad ali. >> here's the thing, the supreme courtverturned 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 considering pardoning muhammad ali who didn't want to be his country for better or worse during the war. put those two thoughts together. >> i don't think he ever did -- i don't think ruch says let me see, am i being consistent. paul? >> if you pardon 50 people or talk about it every day, by the time you get around to pardoning pa

muhammad ali doesn't need a pardon at all. urt 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 they know about and i'm going to take a look at those applications and if i find, and my committee, finds that they're unfairly treated, then we will pardon them or at least let them out. >> joining me n

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.

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

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

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

i am looking at muhammad ali but those are the famous people. in one way it's easier and people find it fascinated but i want to do people that are unfairly treated like an alice where she comes out and -- >> we should say an attorney for the late muhammad ali had this to say -- and about the first lady, the president revealed her surgery a few weeks back lasted four hours. and she's been barred from flying for a month. coming up for us, suicide has yet again touched our public life in america, after the kate spade tragedy earlier this week, tonight millions are mourning a chef turned storyteller. we will remember anthony bourdain after that. this. dray, when he was younger, he loved to smile; and we knew he would need braces because his teeth were coming in funny. that's when he had the bunny rabbits. we called him the bunny rabbit. now, those are the same two front teeth, there, that they are now. then dray ended up having to wear braces for 5 years because he never made it to appointments, because he was busy playing basketball. if he missed

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

i'm thinking about muhammad ali.ut that very seriously, and some others and some folks that have sentences that aren't fair. but i am thinking about muhammad ali. >> muhammad ali's attorney responding that we appreciate his sentiment but a pardon is necessary. the u.s. supreme court overturned the decision in 1971. joining me now, host of "the van jones show," van jones. president trump also talked when he talked about pardons, he also brought in nfl players. take a listen to this moment. >> 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

liz: muhammad ali, i bet would have stuck up for the players who were taking a knee. >> muhammad alit of the draft. that's what he was going to pardon him for. i think he would have. one thing you have to handle to donald trump and the nfl knows this, why they are so scared of him and the impact on the issue, he's got them cold, liz. he's got them by the short hairs. liz: people don't like it. they want to see the game. charlie, thank you. >> he's got them. they can't beat him. liz: sorry i missed him causing a ruckus with the nfl and the goons. dow is up 80 points with six minutes to go. this is session highs. we're coming right back. 2 diabl proven to both reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...and lower a1c, with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, . . symptoms of an allergic reaction include

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. >> we should tell you an attorney for the late muhammad ali released a statement that reads "we appreciate president trump's sentiment but a pardon is unnecessary. the u.s. supreme court overturned the conviction of muhammad ali in a unanimous decision in 1971. there is no conviction from which a pardon is needed." and about the first lady, the president revealed her surgery a few weeks back lasted four hours and she's been barred from flying for a month. >>> coming up for us, suicide has yet again touched our public life in america. after the kate spade tragedy earlier this week, tonight millions are mourning a chef turned storyteller. we will remember anthony bourdain after this. insurance that won't replace the full value of your new car? you're better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i'm gonna regre

you used the marriage metaphor, i was thinking of those muhammad ali fights in the 70s promoted as the, donald trump sparring

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

i am looking at muhammad ali. >> reporter: the problem is it's not necessary. the u.s. supreme court overturned the conviction of ali in a unanimous decision in 1971. there is no conviction from which a pardon is needed. still the president has another pardon he can't stop talking about for himself. >> i'm not above the law. i never want anybody to be above the law. yes, i do have an absolute right o to pardon myself. i'll never have to do it because i didn't do anything wrong. everybody knows it. >> reporter: the president plans to leave the summit earlier than expect expected. he will miss out on meetings of climate change and state of the oceans. he has some oceans to cross to sit down with meeting that may be the most important of his life. he may not be able to try that. smiles won't work when it comes to negotiating a nuclear deal with kim jong-un. >> thank you. thanks so much for joining us. i want to get to the discussion on the two big summits. the g7 summit canada. how significant do you believe this indictment between paul manafort and his russian associate ar

they've assembled a list of 3,000 also said muhammad ali was on that list.adeings draft late 60s because of his religion cassius clay converted to islam supreme court overturned that decision against ali so i e-mailed would muhammad ali require a pardon that initial court decision was overturned, interesting question but he covered so much ground. maria: he did, trade, into the g-7 this is going to be -- first face-to-face meeting with our friend in canada mexico european union whether you agree or not you have to admit in this interview every other interview he looks like he is fighting for american industries, and that i think he will get political credit for. >> exactly, the other thing is he is always brimming with confidence i wrote it down he said, about negotiations i have the is what i do won't be hard. >> bottom line. we'll be right back. stay with us. even heroes need incredible sleep. closing! introducing the new sleep number 360 smart bed. the only bed that actually senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both effortlessly com

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

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

i am looking at muhammad ali.hat i'm thinking to do, lots of people in the nfl in particular, but in sports leagues, and i will ask for all of those people to recommend to me -- because that is what they are protesting -- people they think are were unfairly treated by the justice system. >> of the white house advises that kellyanne conway is also making news. watch what she tells jesse about the president and of the philadelphia eagles. >> when the philadelphia eagles requested policy time and the president said, let's have a policy time. and the people i think who wanted it most were coming to the white house. >> i thought i recognize that guy. i'm seeing double. >> usually where people break news, that's where all the news making happens. we have the party brother is also this saturday at 8:00. i think what the president is trying to do here is trying to create a narrative that the justice system is unfair to people, and they are overzealous prosecutions. i wonder what he could be thinking of in that case.

i am looking at muhammad ali.get to people unfairly treated like an alist where -- alice. >> bill: and the supreme court overturned his conviction in 1971 and president carter gave a blanket draft evaders after that and he said he has 3,000 names at the white house. >> sandra: meanwhile, kim kardashian firing back for being used as a pawn after requesting the clemency. >> i was work on this before so -- i don't think i would be used and at the end of the day he heard me out. we got the job done so i don't think like what could he really use me for. >> sandra: joining me now, fox news reporter and when kim kardashian he was responding to criticism that she supports the president. >> yesterday, i said this is something the president is receiving bipartisan report over and look at where we are today. the question us unnecessary and in the clip you can tell kim kardashian struggled to answer it because we're talking about a woman clearly oversentenced and the president wanted to fix that and there was no ulterior moti

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?

i am looking at muhammad ali. >> reporter: the problem is the pardon isn't necessary as his attorney said in a statement, the u.s. supreme court overturned the conviction of him in a unanimous decision in 1971. there is no conviction from which a pardon is needed. still the president has another pardon he can't stop talking about or himself. >> no, i'm not above the law. i never want anybody to be alove the law. and yes, i do have an absolute right to pardon myself but i'll never to do it because i didn't do anything wrong. and everybody knows it. >> reporter: now the president plans to leave the summit earlier than expected, tomorrow he will miss out on meetings here in quebec on climate change and on the state of the world's oceans but mr. trump has oceans to cross of his own to sit down for what may be the most important negotiation of his life and that is the nuclear talks with kim jong-un set to begin next week in singapore. you could hear the music here playing and in quebec city and the president looking to make some harmony with kim jong-un here in a few days in singapore. >>
