we argue those norms act as a soft guardrail of democracy to prevent people from spiraling into that debt that wrecked the democracies of 30s 60s and hasn't always had that certainly didn't have them in the 1790s with heavy duty constitutional hardball to merely destroy the republican and of course we lost our norms of forbearance and really about a generation after. but beginning in the late 19th century democrats and republicans largely accepted one another as legitimate but they were judicious in the use of filibuster with their right of constraint. referring to the president and outside aforetime a refrain from acting unilaterally but our system of checks and balances worked because they were reinforced by norms. what we show in the book are those norms have been unraveling from the 1990s with a partisan impeachment and the process took off in the 2,000 and called him an anti- american republican leaders from giuliani to huckabee to gingrich said president obama did not love america. of course that birth or movement went to step further questioning his very right to be president.

it is 190 days until the midterm elections i don't know he likely will because of the norms there are no rules and there is a memo from 2012 about election related crimes that they can hyperlink to like those of the rules and they are not you avoid any action that could have an impact. >> i am sure he will operate with that in mind with what conduct that will drive is hard to say. >> how do you address on -- adjust to that? or how do those norms play out 190 have or if it is reasonably by his own course so you don't make that decision based on the election but you look at the investigation and say all else equal, can i responsibly avoid and that abstract way. >> what what you say? >> it works well for me. [laughter] you mac you do need my advice. with important and that is different. to think that processes that for america in many ways the process would create a sense of legitimacy of the supporters among president trump that is difficult to unwind and then drive that division deep into the fabric and there is a healthier way to resolve this especially those who don't normally vote t

norm eisen and ross garber are here to get it on. first case, norm, you play prosecutor. chris collins came out and said that these charges are completely without any merit. meritless, he said. because he didn't sell his shares, as we see in the indictment. so what did he do wrong? >> well, chris, thanks for having me back, your honor. in cuomo's court. there's a long tradition in american law that you commit insider trading when you have inside information and representative collins had that. he got a call at the white house congressional picnic, an e-mail, that this company's drug had failed. and he called his son and told him, as alleged in the complaint, to unload the stock. that's insider trading. >> hold on. look at ross getting that big smile on his face when you said that. let me bounce it over to you. norm is right that the indictment does say that collins got the information at a trial, that he was at a picnic, and then there was a series of missed calls and a received call that went some six-plus minutes with his son. >> right. >> but what do we know about that

and values, but nobody, including the constitution, has defined what the kenyan norms and values areral police, to decide on behalf of a population of people what norms and values are. and this new law, which has been signed by uhuru kenyatta that outlaws abuse on social media ostensibly, but which critics say could be exploited to repress civil liberties — is that a damaging thing that has happened now? well, i believe in the spirit of it, i truly believe in the spirit of it, because people shouldn't be bullied in the spaces, in any space that they're in. however, i think that the law needs to be — or the bill needs to be more curtailed and it needs to be more specific so that it actually addresses the issues and doesn't kill all freedom of expression orfreedom of speech in the process. finally and briefly, wanuri kahiu, do you believe you really can change the narrative on africa to a wider audience? many africans still believe it is overwhelmingly a very negative picture that's put out there. absolutely. i wouldn't do it if i couldn't — if i didn't believe it. i believe that we ar

. >> privacy and data protection norms have big parton how they construct themselves. we are still in search of the holy grail of where in the world this global regulator is going to come from, what victor adjust described is exactly right that japan was deemed at quit by the europeans and many lawyers who will say, even that contract that europe gets to decide whether you're adequate or not. it's a term of art in area of the law but it's a bilateral conversation, bilateral with ore non-eu european countries and canada and now japan and some other countries but what we don't have is a home for this conversation that is truly global and that can create norms and create the kind of level playing field that we are discussing. i am still in search, the question that i ask every wise person that works on this issue, where is that, that's probably not the wto, it's probably not the united nations, so where the global dialogue going to happen and who is going to set the norms because victoria is absolutely right, the data is going to flow faster and more opaque manner than an

where is the global dialogue and who will set those norms? victoria is right. the data will flow faster and in a more opaque manner than any of us can imagine today. it is better privacy for the individual to have servers and redundancy and have real-time access to one's own data emma regardless of national borders. it becomes a new show -- be supernatural -- super national conversation. that is what i think is stymieing regulators. companies in this era have power that is unique to the data that they hold and in some ways, greater than the power of physical borders. that is hard. that is hard to regulate. in addition to the trade issue, i want to say it is a telling sign that this year's data protection commissioner's conference, these are the data protection or's commissioners in each country that will enforce these laws, who have their own gathering that may not have the international clout to set -- although they are sending some international norms. the keynote speaker is the competition minister. i see there is a real parallel track and possible trains co

what norms are left? >> it's a very good point.first of all in my opinion, this is not a secret, i am well known on the subject, primary responsibility for syria policy as we see it now is that of the obama administration because they handled so much of the syrian civil war and the various choices along the way. since that time in order to affect the outcome of the civil war would require one to become more military involved inside the country especially given the depleted nature of the assad regime forces, the various spirits of input inside the country the united states decide it did want to do that for a variety of reasons. so we are left with a current situation which we have american disaster, over half the syrian people outside of their homes, over 80 some incidences of use of chemical weapons as it pertains to this discussion. haley i believe about 50 instances and you we talked about four but anyway it's important to note that a couple of things. one is western countries have noted that the problem is not so much about wher

norms now. it's heart breaking to me that the republican party who founding to destroy slavery was a land mark in the history of freedom is solid as this man is waging war on our legal system. and i just, my heart almost broke reading the "times" profile of paul ryan this week where he seems oblvious to the realities of what is going on around him. >> let me go to leah on that maybe to tie it together. because the political science is the problem. we have so many people in one party looking at self-preservation over if looking over any of the standard norms. >> it's polarization. it's partisanship and it's a fact one party has completely thrown out the window any serks mblance point line in the sand to find breaking point of a president once hated. we also know many of them have been implicated in many things that came out and also too use this president as a vehicle in the same way he's using them as a vehicle. so a lot of this is about power. opposed to party. opposed to concern for the countr

the more you do it, the more it becomes the norm.we did not do many fun operations against china 14 years ago when i was in the seventh fleet. the united states is increasingly doing them now and transiting the areas to show that the international community has not accepted china's exaggerated claims. these operations support the general goal of defending the principle of freedom of the seas and the pacific -- and the specific goal of refuting china's claims in the south china sea. as the admiral described, in may, dod disinvited china from participating, something china have done in 2014 and 2016. traditionally, the united states engages in multilateral framework in the pacific. china prefers to a dress territorial disputes with other regional partners on a bilateral rather than a multilateral basis. as the big dog in that block you can understand why they feel that way. the association of southern asian nations, including indonesia, thailand, and singapore, generally favored norms and are wary of china's territorial ambition. while

again come with boys being beat normative citizen. -- again, with boys being that normative citizen. it is also important to realize how physical education gets this -- it's hooks in american schools. as students are more diverse and from a broader range of socioeconomic classes, it becomes not just health and physical education becomes not just a tool love cultural -- tool of cultural imposition although it is, we will teach you to move and take care of yourself and your body like a good american, but it also becomes a place where, when poor kids are coming to school where they need resources, that it is assumed that point to get -- that they are not going to get anywhere else. sometimes it has that imperialistic nature but sometimes it can look at what we discussed in the 1970's. sometimes, it has this imperialistic nature, but sometimes it can look like what we discussed in the 1970's. the black panthers are providing school breakfast for children. in the neighborhood that this particular school was in, there are no safe parts for children to play in. or parents are working so lat

what norm will then be pushed over. if this is what's happening at this stage, if there actually is more than smoke, if there is fire in these allegations, there is no really telling what direction it's going to potentially lash out at. >> i agree. they go to karl's point. this president has strong au authoritarian instincts and uses animal instincts. we don't know what he's going to do next because he will knock over all the norms. he is destructive. he is contempuous. past traditions and people. this is all about saving him and preserving his legitimacy. i think we are in very, very unknown territory. i don't think the danger frankly is that of civil servants and national security officials feeling inhibited about talking to the president. that has been out there since the beginning. i think the real issue here is whether the president is going to knock over all the norms and whether the next president is going back to a tradition or we will be in a different place where lying is acceptable and this obnoxious behavior

and it is the norm in many african states. we're struggling to get back to a democratic environment and it is this is a struggle this is this is not something it's going to just happen because people are going to suffer in in terms of getting back to a democratic country and this is just another step in that direction we were struck today by how quickly the military was called out to deal with protests relating to the election i mean that is an extreme measure for any government to undertake soldiers firing shots at their own citizens is that for you proof that the president has no intention of going anywhere. no i didn't think so we had live ammunition used in the food riots in this country along a long time just just before in d.c. was actually full and it in the army was used and it was much more severe than were received today they had machine gun emplacements on the streets of r r e but it is uncalled for use of the armed forces and the use of on a mission was just simply action reprehensible and i don't think that they c

and one is norms and one is law. >> that's right. and i think the idea of a new law would be a good idea. particularly one that would give people a private right of action to say if you have been wrongly deprived of your security clearance that you can go into court as kim was saying, invoke the constitution, challenge the executive action, but a statute from congress seems like a step forward in allowing that do. >> thank you both for being here tonight. ahead, the president's move to revoke security clearance from critics receives condemnation. this isn't just any moving day. this is moving day with the best in-home wifi experience and millions of wifi hotspots to help you stay connected. and this is moving day with reliable service appointments in a two-hour window so you're up and running in no time. show me decorating shows. this is staying connected with xfinity to make moving... simple. easy. awesome. stay connected while you move with the best wifi experience and two-hour appointment windows. click, call or visit a store toda

it's a reminder of how much of our system is norms, not law, and it is impossible to imagine congress not acting with any other president previously. paul ryan has been completely silent about this today. >> david, to maggie's point about sort of this kind of being a big escalation, it's hard to imagine what might happen if the president really is cornered in a legal framework by mueller or in some other way what norm will then be pushed over. i mean, if this is what is happening at this stage, if there actually is more than smoke, if there is actually fire in some of these allegations, there's no really telling what direction it's going to potentially lash out at. >> i agree. because they go to carl's point. this president has very strong authoritarian instincts, and we don't know what he's going to do if cornered. he could be like a -- he likes to use animal analogies. animals when cornered strike out. and i think that's the intention, part of the drum of all of this is we don't know what he's going to do next because he will knock over all the norms. he is very destructive. he is c

so with that i will go ahead and bring up norm. >> good afternoon, everybody. it's been a while. i've been up here before. i really appreciate the commission has gone along with this project as it's gone through its twists and turns. taking a basic idea of combining a private business with a cultural institution and try to figure out how to make that work over the next 50 and i hope 66 years was a terrific idea. it's been done in other cities. it wasn't easy to do but we are nearing the finish line right now and we like very much to come back and celebrate the beautiful whacky world of san francisco tradition and circus cabaret, and to enliven the park which is there we hope to call the joan baez park since she was one of the founding ladies for a long time. thank you very much. if you have any other questions i would be happy to answer them. >> thank you. >> and now i will bring jay wallace, my partner who has been diligent working with ricky and putting together the details for you. jay, come on up. >> good afternoon madam president, commissioners, jay. i want to just give you

much of this is based on norms. norms that are previous 44 presidents, all good people for the most part, have observed and adhered to. we now have a president who is willing to flout these norms. these norms of american society. this is the first time we found ourselves in this position. yes, i think technically the president could step in. the fact, though, is he would probably do so in an effort to obstruct justice with malign intent to exonerate himself. so i think that is where this would violate what we have observed for the 240-some years of our republic. the other question is we have focused so much on the president's assertion he could run this investigation that we have overlooked his statement he has stayed out of it to date. and that is false -- >> we just played that sound of him. we could play, the entire hour, of sound of him talking about and criticizing this investigation. >> we have the mueller probe in the first place because donald trump fired jim comey with russia in mind. he's continued to hara

everything said on this program is incredibly important about our norms. that's a very abstract concept to a lot of people trying to make -- >> john brennan's security clearances is an abstract concept to a lot of people. >> they don't know what it means. >> maia, thank you so much, former counsel to bill de blasio and congressman castro and stay with me. breaking news from the paul manafort trial, the judge is about to address the jurors deliberating late. >>> trump aides wanted him to revoke president obama's security clearance. we talk to who broke that story. >>> and michael cohen being investigated for $20 million in potential bank fraud. trump wants you to study joseph mccarthy. we will tell you about the irony of that later in the show. you're watching the beat on msnbc. with the new chase ink business unlimited card i get unlimited 1.5% cash back. it's so simple, i don't even have to think about it. so i think about mouthfeel. introducing chase ink business unlimited with unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase. but allstate actually helps you d

and how the president is trampling on racial norms.re people who harbor these kinds of views. what's really interesting is that prior to the president coming to office, our experience was that generally speaking people kept those views to themselves and what i think i want people to know is, as people of color can walk around and live their life, we are having a different experience as a result of the president setting a very different tone with regard to this sort of rhetoric. it's just important for people to know that this new tone, this new norm is having an impact on people that is unfair to a large portion of this country. >> when i saw what the president said about you, i remembered some of the interviews you've actually done with donald trump. he's been on your show when he was a candidate earlier and i always thought that there was a mutually respectful relationship that you had with donald trump. >> let me go back before that. the last time i interviewed donald trump before he ran for office was the night that osama bin laden

breaking a norm, at least it is breaking with past practice. you have 15 in the original, 60 cia officers following, and 175 other folks from across the national security community. and we recognize it is unprecedented behavior and carries with it its own darker side, but i think the consensus among us, which prompted us to act, was that we saw so much norm busting over here that somehow had to be dealt with. let me put it to you this way. some of us actually were concerned, decided not to join because they thought it would hurt the folks still in government. most of us decided to sign onto protect the folks still in government. let me describe it to you this way, wolf. espionage actually contains some morally ambiguous actions from time to time, even if it is just recruiting a source in a foreign government, but that action takes its moral purpose from the higher ethical purposes to which it is attached. and i think most of us thought those higher ethical purposes were under assault, were deteriorating, and that compelled us to speak up and sa

this is the norm, coaches talk to us like this.the norm of what we do because i don't know anything different. >> some of his teammates have really spoken up, though, and started talking more about what the culture was like. when you first started to learn about that, what was your reaction to these stories that you were hearing from these kids? >> i was blown away. i was blown away. unbelievable. unbelievable. couldn't belief it. i couldn't believe something like that was going on. i was -- my heart broke. >> the coach was just put on leave recently, strength and conditioning coach affected by this as well obviously. does that go far enough, what else does the university of maryland need to do? >> i think initially you need to get rid of the head coach, durkin, he needs to resign, he needs to be terminated. there's no way that as a parent you send your child knowingly into an environment where your child will get bullied, knowingly. and if we had any idea that that would be the case, we would have made another decision. >> underst

the norms seem to be eroding. if each one of you might take a swipe out.whichever order. >> i guess i can start. i didn't really distinguish between tactical things we can do a strategic things we can do. so tactically you have to do whatever you can to keep them out of power. and you can contain and join political parties. you can push them to campaign more effectively. you can make sure that you explain your ideological differences to a populace very clearly but she don't just look down on them. just to say these guys are idiot anyway, why would i talk to you and that doesn't work very well. there's a great article about venezuela in basically the opposition says that guy, is he serious? the people to whom those political figures are appealing, but it's not a very effective way of persuading. you have to take the concerns seriously from a position. there's a lot of things we can do tactically. i don't think the tactical things are going to be enough. i think when you see populism has been rising for 25, 30 years and it's been rising in political contacts

alphabet agencies and public relations to tell the american people what they were doing and the accepted norms that they could engage that a a reporter asks a question they could even put out a press release that isn't propaganda and is limited to fact and agencies could issue reports here is what we did last year a six-month report usually to congress but that acceptable boundary of what it could without being controversial there are a few other exceptions for the federal government the president could not be limited to what he or she would do and is not limited by the accepted norms of propaganda by bureaucracy and another exception never articulated there was a process that was declared to engage in persuasive information and then robert horton comes into the picture and as director for the u.s. maritime commission starting under joseph kennedy but they were under a mandate from congress so there would be a merchant marine navy and the statute said it was a national purpose to have a vigorous merchant marine. there was a situation by engaging in persuasive information to put up brochures an

donald trump exists to teach us the difference between laws and norms. if it's a norm, he's going to break it. this was a courtesy that was given to other people. trump doesn't like courtesy, so he's going to break it. brennan, the courtesy would be not to call the president a traitor. of course the courtesy would be for the president not to be a traitor. so brennan's breaking his courtesy. trump's breaking -- if it's not a law, it doesn't matter in donald trump's world. it's just a norm like so many that he's stepped all over. >> he's stepping over some laws as well. so we're going to find out whether bob mueller finds there's enough evidence to prove that. >> ron johnson said that, but then brennan said more today. let's listen to what he had to say about collusion. >> but what i'm saying is that there is collusion that took place between individuals, americans, and russians. whether or not this is going to trigger some type of criminal activity indictment is something else entirely. and i've never put forth any thoughts on conspiracy. but collusion, i

. >> and data protection norms even how they construct themselves so i want to follow-up on the global construct, we are still in search of the holy grail where in the world are global regulators going to come from? so japan was deemed adequate by the europeans so many will say in that construct it's not up to europe to decide who is adequat adequate. >> but it also reflects bilateral conversations with other non- eu european countries like canada and now japan but they have a home for this conversation that is truly global that can create norms and a level playing field that we are discussing. the person i always ask so where is that? probably not the wto or united nations so where is that global dialogue? you are exactly right that data point is more opaque then we even imagined. and with better data protection to have redundancy and access to that data over the national borders that becomes a conversation where the companies are asking outside of the borders and that stymies regulators that in some way in this era regulators have a power that is unique to the data that they hold tha

the president could not behe limited to what they would dowh another words with thosee accepted norms of the agency had social progress that congress had declared to engage in persuasive education of the goals but in 1938 the pr director for the maritime commissioner that started under joseph kennedy but by the time horton came kennedy had gone.ano they were under a a mandate from congress to build ships so there would be a merchant marine to support the navy in the statute that it was a national purpose to have a vigorous and a vigorous and vital merchant marine. there was a situation where he sat with persuasive information to put out brochures anddea speaking tours andki exhibits tt essentially said is that a gooda a good thing with the commission is doing?good and with national goals universally accepted goals propaganda was sort of okay but almost like nowadays the bureaucratic propaganda is usually four universally accepted values and in otherds words there is a campaign click it to for ticket that is persuasive information that isra propaganda that we accept that it is a univer

this doesn't meet any basic judicial norms what the special counsel does.es down the chain, he wants to talk to this madam because she's got something on some other guy and he can put the squeeze on that other guy and the other guy can roll up another guy and eventuallyhe somewhere in that chain, they will find that someone who has the goods on trump. why do democrats and republicans put up with this? why isn't there a bipartisan understanding of the need to get rid of this thing? >> i wish there were. i fought ken starr in 98 and i've been outspoken i think this investigation is wrong. i think judge ellis clearly knows that manafort is on trial by the independent counsel with the entire weight of the largesr prosecutorial machinery almost ever built only because he spent two months as trump campaign manager, he might've had a trial but not two indictments, even without bail, even harvey weinstein is out on a million dollars bail. this is not the way anybody really expects the american justice system to work. i am puzzled -- hatred of trump is so broad, peo

it is the norm in many african states. we are struggling to get back to a democratic environment.t is a struggle. this is not something that is just going to happen, because people are going to suffer, in terms of getting back to a democratic country. this is just another step in net direction. brent: we were struck today by how quickly the military was called out to deal with protests relating to the election. i mean, that's an extreme measure for any government to undertake. soldiers firing shots at their own citizens. is that for you, proof that the president has no intention of going anywhere? eddie: no, i don't think so. we had live a ammunition usesedn the food riots in this couountry a long timime ago. than the army -- it was much more severe than what we're seeing today. they had machine guns on the streets of harare. but it is an uncalled for use of the armed forces. the use of live ammunition is absolutely reprehensible, and i don't think they can justify that at all. and i really disappointed that the president himself is not really made a statement expressing anger at
