and here we have paul rogers who runs it. hi. speak to us let's come around. he can stay where you are. i will get in my seat. we havejoe. from the manchester evening news. all day we have been with our bbc election mugs because the best way to find out what people think it's often over a cup of. you've been running this for a while. you watch the debate last night as well and what did you make of it? i night as well and what did you make of it? . ., ., of it? i felt it could have been hosted better. _ of it? i felt it could have been hosted better. i— of it? i felt it could have been hosted better. i felt _ of it? i felt it could have been hosted better. i felt that i of it? i felt it could have been hosted better. i felt that the l of it? i felt it could have been i hosted better. i felt that the time spent on answering questions was not long enough. some of the questions were more relevant than others and more time should have been given. i find it impossible to understand why you ask a question that may have three questions i

i have with me the principal of the star theatre paul mason, and roger. nathan paul is going to give us a little bit of the background on the project. this is to me just one more show of a flower starting to grow. this was an abandoned theatre in 1995 and it's amazing and they are bringing a lot of people to the area. >> public speaker: good morning, my name is paul mason, the director of the star theatre. with me is roger pincon, our director. the original building was built in 1995 for the ex-pat community. it is the last remaining theatre in that area. the last out of what used to be seven different theatres. we provide a home to chinese opera, and in fact we are the last and continuing home for chinese opera on the west coast. we have six or seven different presentations each year and home to communities. we inaugurated our very first chinese opera presentation with super titles. so english speaking, non-chinese speaking members of the public could follow along with the show in an attempt to reach out to wider, broader community-based. as a native san

other convicted felons like paul manafort, roger stone, steve bannon, all his buddies. we should not forget how extraordinary this moment is. kristy greenberg the former deputy chief of the criminal division of the southern district of new york and joins me now. you tweeted today that trump would try to convince the probation officer not to recommend a jail sentence, but you said probation should reject that argument. how does that conversation go down during one of these meetings? >> i think what you probably saw, and it's only 30 minutes. it's a short interview, but you probably saw todd blanche taking the lead to trotta highlight positive aspects of donald trump's character that they think are mitigating circumstances and things they think are going to show he is dashes supervision. his criminal conduct which he denies, there's no victim here. i think the probation officer needs to look closer because her are victims. the american people were victims by not getting information that he was paying off the adult film star that could have affected the election outcome. o

he pardoned steve bannon, paul manafort, roger stone.hat if his son is convicted, he will disagree with that verdict but he will not use his power to pardon his own son. >> it's absurd to put donald trump in the same category hunter biden who raised his hand and said i want to accept the responsibility. he's come and testified to congress. trump promises a lot that he'll testify. has never done that. and again, has acknowledged that if the verdict goes against him, he's not going to trash the jury. he will respect it. you know, i still think, though, we are a country where we prefer voting over violence and verdicts over vengeance. and we're going to reject where trump is trying to take us. >> donald trump has begged the supreme court to try to help him. now got your colleagues in the republican party, here is some of the retaliation your colleagues and including the speaker of the house are vowing. eight senate republicans now vow to oppose all biden nominees, mike lee, jd vance, tommy tubervillle, eric smith, rick scott, roger marshall

and how he used his pardon power to help people who were close to him like steve bannon, paul manafort and rogerne. i think it's hard to say on these facts that it's democrats who are weaponizing the department of justice. >> donald trump has been mast masterful at delaying his other three criminal trials. is there a way for hunter biden to delay his tax trial that you see or do you think there's any likelihood that there could be a plea deal? >> i think it's extremely unlikely to be delayed. it's already been delayed once because the lawyer for the president's son said that he needed more time to prepare for hunter's tax trial. it couldn't be too close to the gun form trial. i think there's an extremely strong case for a plea bargain, just like hunter didn't have an obvious defense in the gun form trial, he doesn't have an obvious defense in the tax case, and as mike mentioned, if this case goes to trial, the details that come out are likely to be even more salacious than in the gun form trial. the indictment talks about rather than spending the money on his taxes, hunter used this money for se

i have with me the principal of the star theatre paul mason, and roger. of the background on the project. this is to me just one more show of a flower starting to grow. this was an abandoned theatre in 1995 and it's amazing and they are bringing a lot of people to the area. >> public speaker: good morning, my name is paul mason, the director of the star theatre. with me is roger pincon, our director. the original building was built in 1995 for the ex-pat community. it is the last remaining theatre in that area. the last out of what used to be seven different theatres. we provide a home to chinese opera, and in fact we are the last and continuing home for chinese opera on the west coast. we have six or seven different presentations each year and home to communities. we inaugurated our very first chinese opera presentation with super titles. so english speaking, non-chinese speaking members of the public could follow along with the show in an attempt to reach out to wider, broader community-based. as a native san franciscan who appreciates our culture, real

he is going to have to discuss whether he still coordinates with roger stone, paul manafort, steve bannon. all of the people have been found guilty by a jury and are felons themselves. >> true. that is the possible tough part that may have gone down into the interview based on what we know about this pretty regular process and the kind of questions that are asked. it would be odd for p.o. to ask only about someone's access to money and finance and never raise any of the criminal association questions. again, this just happened. we don't have a full read out yet. there are also presidents with possible good news for the convict. trump is a first-time offender in this case. if he were convicted in any of the three pending trials that i mentioned, he would lose that traditional leniency. as for new york, he is a first offender. this is a nonviolence offense. most cases are not landed people in prison with similar convictions. trump has a chance here as a new york city official court website puts it to make a good impression in your presentence report to explain why the person might deserve a

but he's going to discuss whether he still coordinates with roger stone, paul manafort, steve bannon.ople have been found guilty by a jury , and are felons themselves. so that is another area, where the probation department can ask questions and it will be interesting to see what donald trump has to say about that. >> what he says and when you say it could not go well, what could be the impact of this meeting? what will we hear after it is over? >> sure, and this is a standard part of sentencing, where the probation department, there is sort of an arm of the court, and they give a private, confidential report to the judge. so we will not directly see it. we may hear about it, through the parties. but there is a report given to the judge, both sides should have access to it, to challenge any statements. but it is basically allowing the court to learn more information about a defendant. in connection with donald trump, you may be saying, how much more, what possibly do they need to know? but he has not been through this process, and so this is part of what probation does with every defe

restore him to power after he has pardon a whole bunch of political criminals like michael flynn roger stone, paul manafort, to dinesh d'souza, you name it and he's going around the country promising to pardon the january 6 hostages as he calls them, were political prisoners, the people who were the violent shock troops of his insurrection against the government. so it's dangerous situation that we're in as a society right now republican house speaker mike johnson he has spoken out about trump's conviction. >> i think you mentioned that he said he wants to hold oversight hearings on this. i'll play a clip of what he said we are the rule of law party of chaos is not a conservative value and we have to fight back and we will, with everything in our arsenal, but we do that within the confines. >> and so the rule of law we believe in our institutions and he's also called on the supreme court to step in here into this appeals process. >> but he's calling the trump trial a weaponization of the government, while also saying that they want to be the party of law and order how do you think that all squares

and in here, we have got paul rogers.as... it could have been _ make of it? i felt it was... it could have been hosted - make of it? i felt it was... it i could have been hosted better, make of it? i felt it was... it - could have been hosted better, i felt the — could have been hosted better, i felt the time spent on answering questions was not long enough, some of the _ questions was not long enough, some of the questions were more relevant than others — of the questions were more relevant than others and more time should have _ than others and more time should have been— than others and more time should have been given. i always find it impossible to understand why you ask a question— impossible to understand why you ask a question that might have three questions — a question that might have three questions inside it and then someone turns around — questions inside it and then someone turns around and says yes or no, and i turns around and says yes or no, and i have _ turns around and says yes or no, and i have always

paul whelan from russia. yeah, well, first of all, roger carstens is a good friend, and we've been doing this for years now togetherhim. and we share information again on the informal part that, you know, we're able to talk and secure and give each other information that is useful. here's the thing with it, sarah. imagine, even if the russians and the americans decided, "hey, we're going to get together right now and we're going to talk about hostages and prisoners." and they sit in the room. they're wearing certain suits. there are certain flags, even before the first word is said, the weight of the war in ukraine, the weight of nuclear stability, the weight of world order is weighing on that conversation. it is almost impossible, as much as they try, to insulate the issue of the prisoners in a humanitarian way and refine what might be possible. that's where we come in on behalf of the families and are able to do it because we're not policy people. ok, but you have no power and you will know that there is criticism, and there was of governor richardson. danielle gilbert, of the dickey center for international unde

but trump has parted a series of political criminals including michael flynn, roger stone, steve bannon, paul manafort, dinesh desousa, they form the inner coterie of his political campaign and trump is saying that he will pardon all of the january 6th hostages, or political prisoners as he sometimes calls them. and these people will be the political shock troops for other kinds of violent actions. these are people convicted of violently assaulting our police officers, and trying to overthrow the 2024 election. >> let's talk about retribution. there's one thing pardoning these people, is one element. the other one is that donald trump continues to say in his -- and his acolytes say in various different ways that they are going after people who have opposed them. those people, as we said, people like you, the michael cohens of the world. journalists, critics, opposition leaders, judges, witnesses, jurors. the list could be quite long and donald trump has set it. kash patel has set it. others have said they will go after people. you are a very sober, you know, lawyer, who understands what the p

don peebls, roger ferguson, claudia sahm and paul mccully.nd we asked them to vote as a mock fed governor would and decide whether to cut, to hold or hike base on their areas of expertise and how they see the economy. and here is their decision. with the exception of one person, don peebles the mock fed overwhelming voted to keep rates right where they are right now. let's bring in some of the members of our mock fed panel now to get them to share on why they voted the way they did. don peebles i'm going to start with you as the outlier, you say cut rates. don't just lee them where they are. explain your reasoning and get the conversation going. >> well, great. the first two reasons why is the consumers, who make two major purchases in their life time, and that's a home and it's a car. they do it with debt. so, up until 1983, the cost of capital interest rates were included in the calculation of inflation. and since then, they haven't. and as a result, we've used interest rates to kind of manipulate inflation. now, let's think, for example, a

and there been reports that put evans name it together with paul wheeler. 2 is an american who is also being held in roger. he's been there for several years now that they would possibly be presented together in this prisoner exchange. does that give us any indication on how the kremlin values in american life at this point in time? that's why we've seen pole wheeling be part of negotiations, but not come home. a couple of times of it's trevor read is a former marine us marine who is in russia, and then of course it's brittany grandmother basketball player who came home in swats. so poll wheel and so they've been part of the picture now for 2 other people who have left and we would be very helpful that any deal that involved of and also involve paul and also involved other americans here of course, evans not the 1st. it was the 1st since a cold war journalist to be detained, but since then also, camacho ready for you has been there for a year now. and yeah, we would like to see all of us citizens detained in russia released. yep. we, i knew in my work, i've met many americans who have frontier in berlin,

actually, roger stone and paul manafort, both former trump campaign aides, were each convicted of witness, federally. president trump made a post on social media last year in which he actually explicitly said a georgia politician should not appear before the grand jury down there. so, what we found is money flowing from three trump entities, the campaign, the business, a trump organization, and trump media, truth social, to people who had been witnesses in the various cases he's facing, and this is something that, you know, white-collar defense lawyers we spoke to said really gets their blood pressure up when you see bonuses and raises flowing to people who are also witnesses or potential witnesses about the boss's behavior. >> let me read from the reporting, because you guys, as usual, bring the receipts. susie wilds, the head of the trump campaign. you write this, "when trump was indicted on june 8th over his handling of the documents, the indictment described trump allegedly showing susie wiles a classified map related to a military operation, acknowledging, that he should not be showi
