in running for it from prague in a suburb of prague which i later heard had to be restocking my father managed to join a larger group and skate with the local residents stop the train so you could those of you who told me that the guards were still shooting toward them in a random way. and bonuses in the room you managed to hide in a hospital until the end of the war priests in the typhoid ward ceased to fish chicken and swine the too full stop carried on. the doctors assured him that the germans wouldn't search in that huge national mission to. the czechs knew that the germans had orders to avoid the risk of infection. they climbed into the railway cars to look for sick prisoners. in the wagon it looked as if they were all dead. and suddenly we would see a hand or a leg sticking out that would actually move. them when we managed to get someone out we needed someone else to help to bring that person away. don't you get us here . you know we wanted to make sure that they had survived. a bit that surely says that he respects other surgeon. and emergency clinic was set up in the former po

soon realized that the red army was not aiming for prague but for berlin. the americans advancing from the west had stopped in pilsen. so this corridor was one of the final centers of power and also a military center of the national socialist german of. knots and also. when the transport crossed the border into the occupied protectorate something unexpected happened. to them we woke up the next morning and suddenly there was bread biscuits something to eat in the wagon we asked ourselves what's going on funny how we cashed. on april twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred forty five the train reached the station where it halted for about five hours the check civilians at the station asked the guards to open the wagons it was a tense situation. you know what. the guards allowed us to fetch water we were all screaming water water were you know i was afraid to get out and thought they'd shoot me. but then i jumped off the wagon with my bowl and drank greedily. the water was running down my front i tried to bring the bowl full of water back to the wagon the guar

they made it to prague. and two of them ended up in a hospital in prague. when my father got to prague from germany, about two weeks earlier, he found out that there were two kids in the hospital that just came from austria, so he drove to the hospital, he interrogated those two boys, and they were the two boys that jumped the train. they told him where i was, that i was in hershing, and this little public school near the hershing airport, and he drove to hershing and that's where we got, that's where i got reunited with my dad. we returned back to prague. we eventually got back to our apartment in prague, and my dad practiced medicine for three or four years. i went back to high school, to junior high. and basically, we tried to restart our lives. and then after the communists took over the country in 1948, my dad, who remarried by that time, decided to escape from the communist czechoslovakia and we escaped to austria, and then from austria, we got papers to immigrate to england, so we ended up in england in 1949, and from england, we eventually came to t

. >> many prague relatives have expressed -- progressives have expressed your role about california attorney and defending the department of corrections and seeking to deny reassignment surgery for two transgender inmates. how would you address those concerns? >> so, i was, as you are rightly pointing out, the attorney general of california for two terms. and i had a host of clients that i was obligated to defend and represent. and i couldn't fire my clients. and there were, unfortunately, situations that occurred where my clients took positions that were contrary to my beliefs. and there -- it was an office of a lot of people who would do the work on a daily basis, and do i wish that sometimes they would have personally consulted me before they wrote the things that they wrote? yes, i do. the bottom line is the buck stops with me, and i take full responsibility for what my office did, but on that issue, i will tell you i vehemently disagree and, in fact, worked behind the scenes to ensure that the department of corrections would allow transitioning inmates to receive the medical attention t

this is a photograph of a loan protester in the central square in prague.the image reminds me of that single protester in tiananmen square standing up against the tanks. needless to say it didn't work but the prague spring was crushed utterly and oleg was scandalized. he was absolutely furious. he took it as a personal affront that this had taken place. he did something that was, with hindsight, was both very brave and probably quite stupid. he went to a telephone in the soviet embassy that he knew was bugged at evidential intelligee service, and he placed a telephone call to his home to his wife was. he married a fellow kgb officer. their marriage was not a happy one. he called her at him knowing that their home telephone was also bugged. he delivered a serious harangue about what it happened about what he described as the criminal conspiracy to crush the prague spring. knowing or hoping that this would be picked up by the danish intelligence service. the problem with this plan was it was completely miss by the danish intelligence service for reasons when

i was like, "nope, never been to prague. we were in moscow, but never prague." and described what it was like. she had to show me pictures. ( laughter ) and then i was like, "oh, that was prague?" >> stephen: i can imagine. because there are so many things you have to do and then you have to emotionally flush everything out and go on to the next thing. >> absolutely. >> stephen: i once asked an astronaut what it was like to go to the moon. and he said, "i have no idea. i spent all three days in ten- minute increments, and then i had to flush it all out of me." and you and your husband were on a moonshot. >> that's absolutely right. i mean, i tell the story of the evening that gay marriage was legalized, same-sex marriage was legalized. ( cheers and applause ) but i had forgotten that day that we had the funeral-- we had attended the funeral for a set of shootings. and that was the day that-- that morning, barack gave the sermon where he sang "amazing grace." and i totally forgot that those two heart-wrenching things happened on the same day. >> stephen: the ema

oh, yeah, i went to prague. i literally forgot that i had been to prague. i'm not, i mean, we had this conversation. somebody said what do you think of prague, and i said i've never been to prague. my chief of staff said yesterday. and i said no, i've never been to prague. ever. she was like yes. we went back and forth and it took a picture of me and prague. [laughing] going -- you're right, i forgot all about that. i was there for two days. [laughing] that's how, that's what the pace is. you can forget big major things. not because they were not important but they get crowded out by the next series of issues and demand. so i don't know what the question was, how we got on this. [laughing] >> forgot the questions are all right. when you think of all that anthony had the two little ones speedy say that they can. >> the two little ones. >> my kids. >> so they might have -- >> i never ever forgot about them. [laughing] >> so that balance, when people are thinking about balance and how you do it, any advice for how people can try to -- >> is a lot of advice for

cohen tweeted a denial saying, quote: i hear prague, czech republic, is woolf in the summertime.r been. mueller knows everything. we're back with prosecutor james trusty. james, you were so good, we had to bring you back. >> how you been, charles? [laughter] charles: what do you make of this? this saga, particularly as it pertains to michael cohen, it's just, it's just -- you know, no one knows what to believe anymore. i doubt very many americans believe much with respect to cohen, but how does this change, maybe, the dynamics of the mueller investigation? >> well, i'll tell you, you're putting your finger right on the problem which is mr. cohen, everything about mr. cohen from that sentencing memo that was filed in manhattan the other day screams liar. so he's not a particularly reliable source for anything. i think it's interesting that he did not get credit under a 5k motion which is the typical vehicle for cooperation. they said he had not come clean on all of his own dirt. so you have to wonder is this part of that equation, is there something where they felt he was attached

czech this was part of czechoslovakia it was possible for us to flee the city i was born in prague and to reach paris i was six years old you mars cargo you would like most of the jews of crocodiles my parents spoke german at home. and only occasionally spoke czech or marina specially since. the family of my mother came from the survey. the first song that i learned to play on the piano. was to come up odd units until june forty two we stayed in paris and then we fled again. my parents decided we should go to pat and central france was an area that was not. supposedly well it was in france and we stayed there until summer forty two in july forty two or. four in occupied france the arrests of foreign jews began partners in accordance with an agreement between parker the s s and priestly to cut over in france and the. the prime minister as well as the head of the french police and it was scary this huge campaign was done by the french players. one month afterwards they are arrests began and are still going to push them before my parents. only rights to a way to escape was to go over the

i also want to know about any trip he took to -- >> to prague. >> exactly. that seems to be -- there was some convincing evidence that he actually did go prague and i would like to hear more about that. i want to know if he went to prague because if he did that's a clear link that is very important because he was meeting with russians about interfering with the election. >> let me ask you about this. most people in the world believe that -- walk me through this. because we assume michael cohen, when he testified that, that individual one, donald trump directed him to make these payments. he did that under, under threat of purgery. most people believe individual number one is donald trump. donald trump has not conceded that point yet. i don't know that there's anybody in the country whose mind needs be made up about the fact that donald trump directed michael cohen to make payments through, in some cases through the "national enquirer" to these two women. is there something congress can get out of michael cohen that can force donald trump's hand in any way or

it was not a denial of the story, the same way they deny that michael cohen went to prague. what do you take from that? what do you think about the president's team rudy giuliani coming out and initially trying to blame cohen's credibility when this reporting is not based on cohen's credibility. >> before i answer you, i want to tell you that i spoke to sources in the senate, they feel a little hamstring. i do think there is going to be increasing demands like chris murphy made. if you got evidence and you lied to us, you newe need to know it. it is important that michael cohen and his team have not d y denied the story. they denied other allegations that's been made, for example, the dossier and michael cohen went to prague. he denied this report the other day that he handed cash in a bag to somebody in connection to that online poll story. and as you also mention the white house team and the rudy giuliani's team, it took them 14 hours to issue a clear denial of the story. it seems like hogan giddily on fox news seems to be unprepared and they do not know the facts but unwi

which would appear to buttress an accusation in the christopher steele dossier that he had gone to prague to meet with russians about the interference. mcclatchy published this piece saying mummer had evidence it did happen. after that report, we got a very -- at that point i think unprecedented statement from the spokesman for the special counsel. not directly disputing the story but giving a sort of general warning to the president ths th had been inaccuracies out there and every journalist should be careful about their sources. be very cautious about any source that claims to have knowledge of our investigation and dig deep into what they claim before reporting on it. so that was last april from the special counsel's office. six months later in october after so many strange reporting that somebody was maybe trying to shop false sexual harassment allegations about robert mueller to the press, the special counsel's office put out a statement saying they had referred the matter to the fbi. finally the reporter at yahoo! news got the special counsel's office to confirm a key filing from th

the prague dossier cohen story. it's endless. public trust and the media is gone. not a good day for the country. >> tucker: that is what it is. the root of unsupervised reporters. i have supervised reporters. i say if you're too angry and hate or love the person you are writing about you shouldn't write about that person. you don't see it clearly. you are likely to make mistakes. if you're the editor assigning this piece at buzzfeed, a political activist transparently, with a history of making things up and plagiarizing. that's crazy behavior. reckless behavior. why would you do that? >> tucker, even worst stories that are mistakes and not properlyly edited and supervised andno fact checked are so transparently obvious there was missing information. you have a reporter admit he hasn't seen the evidence. this is journalism? the stories, tucker, are never mistakes with the dreaded air quote. never mistakes pro trump. that has to say something is wrong. i don't want pro trump mistakes. i want fare coverage. i subject with a litany of stories theht last two years, bom

proof that trump engaged in collusiont we have reporters out there claiming that michael cohen was in prague. documents suggest they found no evidence that he ever was. yes, it would be great if peopl slow down. why did everyone jump on this? the reason people got breathles is because there were claims in the story that there was text messages and evidence, somethin that went beyond michael cohen words. also this was a new bite at the obstruction apple hoping they can get trump on obstruction fo firing comey. che cautionary tale indeed, why don't we just sit tight and wai and see what bob mueller has to say. >> i wish people would wait. the president just tweeting about this and sean react to this. the president tweeting, remembe it was buzz feed that released totally discredited dossier, paid for by cricket hillary clinton and the democrats as opposition research in parentheses on which the entire russia probe is based. sid for journalism, but a great day for our country. john, you are down there on the hill and you've seen this play out, respond to the president street. >> i don't know tha

s senate testimony or fake reporting about michael cohen's fantasy trip to prague which never happened or "guardian"'s bombshell featuring paul manafort and trump and julian assange, or what about the three fake news cnn staffers fired over a false report about the mooch, anthony scaramucci? and it gets worse. look at your screen. for three years, the fake reports have not stopped. we can go on all night doing this, one right after another after another after another, and we will keep going. the stories target everyone associated with trump, that includes ivanka, nikki haley jared kushner. oh, yeah, brett kavanaugh, remember that? recently? and even the first lady of the united states, and a ten, 11-year-old kid at the time, the son of the president. they are blinded by this hatred of trump. it's every second, minute, hour of every day. and they are held accountable by almost nobody. they just move onto the next lie. the mainstream media has never been worse than what you now see it as and yet these are people they want you to trust. you are supposed to trust. these are people with a m

extended for another six months, and that as well we've determined that michael cohen may have been in prague during the time that it was questionable as to whether or not there were russian contractors there that needed to be paid. this is not going to end soon, and we have to do it thoroughly. that is a constitutional structure, that presidents have to be held accountable for laws that are criminal and non. and they may in fact meet the standards of high crimes and misdemeanors. >> now, aas we look at this, we know the president has attacked the investigation by mueller calling it a witch-hunt. we know many are saying that the committee that are saying they're going to look into various aspects of the president's world is politically motivated, but at what point is the integrity of government in some ways damaged if we don't see what is real and what is not real behind a mountain of allegations, and some please and some of the president's own inei encircle stating things that are absolutely astounding to many american citizens. >> reverend, i hate to say it but we're at that moment now. wha

unresolved allegation and potentially explosive one, the dossier explained that michael cohen travelled to prague publically denied any such trip all the while the president has stood firm insisting that -- >> no collusion after two years no collusion. >> reporter: some of the other allegations remain uncorroborated including allegations that the russian government has damaging material on president trump that the kremlin could use as compromising material. sgr i have to say if they had it it would have been out long ago. >> reporter: throughout president trump has had one public companion, russian president vladimir putin. >> i would like to add to this. i was an intelligence officer myself. i know how dossiers are made. >> reporter: putin did admit that he preferred trump to win the election over hillary clinton. >> yes, i did, because he talked about bringing u.s./russian relationships back to normal. >> reporter: soon after cnn reported the briefing of the dossier to trump we reported that u.s. intelligence had corroborated during the campaign. at the time not only did the white house deny it

position where he needed to work with whoever the republican president was and he, i think, has been pragueic abo pragmatic about that. >> you understand what motivates mitch mcconnell, so while he may perhaps have to hold his nose at some of the president's style or comments, he's getting exactly what he wants. and so that's why he's willing to go along with all of this. >> i think that's true. i think, you know, is he not necessarily faced up to all the consequences of having done that, which i explore some in the piece. but he has understood all along that there's sort of things that he sees himself as being able to work with the president on and then there's things where his general mode is to sort of ignore them to the best of his ability. >> one of the billing headlines from the piece is that mitch mcconnell and paul ryan, previous speaker of the house, had or have a plan in the event that president trump attempts to fire robert mueller. what is that plan? >> i don't know. neither of them would tell me. for all i know it's a strongly worded statement they have kept in a sealed box som

potentially explosive one, if proven true, the dossier also claims that michael cohen traveled to praguethe summer of 2016 to coordinate with russian officials on covering up russia's interference in the election. cohen has consistently publicly denied any such trip. and all the while the president has stood firm insisting -- >> there's been no collusion. after two years, no collusion. >> reporter: some of the dossier's other allegations remain uncorroborated including the allegations that the russian government has damaging highly salacious material on president trump. which the kremlin could use as compromising material. kompromat in russian. >> i have to say, if they had it, it would have been out long ago. >> reporter: throughout, president trump had been public companion in his denials, r russian president vladimir putin. >> translator: i'd like to add something to this. after all, i was an intelligence officer myself and i do know how dossier is made up. >> reporter: putin did admit another allegation in the dossier is true, that he preferred trump to win the election over hillary

i think my experience here in prague in my mind i became more confident more thoughtful and more awareof all what's happening in the world. and. in between my old cult and this cult. but. i'm still a. palestinian and i think my experience made me more conscious about helping other people and. that was more than six years ago and i'm sure you're wondering what's happened to muhammad well i'm pleased to say that he is joining us now from our london studio great to see you muhammad so as we mentioned you graduated from eton in two thousand and twelve what's happened since but i was very fortunate to be awarded another scholarship by the arisan foundation to continue my studies at u.c.l. in london i was a. did a job offer in london at a global engineering consultancy called macdonald where i've been working for more than a year now what sort of projects are you working on there i've been mainly working on two projects the first one is a road expansion in the u.s. actually after that ice the start of the way working on a. you just scheme in london called the cross trail and the aim is to bu

those continue to be questions, like the one about michael cohen being in prague, which has continued to be disputed by michael cohen. in this case, again, the reporters who broke this are very good reporters. they have broken a lot of really solid news. we had tried ourselves -- i can only speak for my news organization. we tried throughout the day to corroborate key aspects of it. we had been unable to. then you saw the special counsel's statement. going to what preet said, i think there's -- i think a lot of the partisan excitement has gotten ahead -- not only partisan, but a lot of the people's emotions around the president have in this example today gotten ahead of where the established facts were. i don't know what that means for whatever process follows. i don't know what that means in terms of how people react when the ultimate report comes out. i don't know how it hardens resolve for supporters of the president. remember, an impeachment battle, if that is what happens, which there's ever to reason it will likely be something, a lot of it is public opinion. a lot is shaped aro

mcclatchey on the prague dossier of cohen's story.he drapes nikki haley story in the "new york times." it is just endless. and the public trust in the media is gone. this is not a good day for the country. >> tucker: that's what it is. you know, the root of it is understandable recognizable to anybody who has ever supervised reporters. i have supervised a lot of reporters. i always told them i have got pretty strong political views but i always say to the reporters if you're too angry, if you hate the person you write, about orme if you love the person you write about, you shouldn't be writing about that pinner because you can't see things clearly and you are very likely to make mistakes because you are blinded by your own emotion. if you are the editor assigning this piece at buzzfeed and you are assigning it to a guy who a political activist transparently and with a history of getting things wrong and making things up and plagiarizing, that's crazy behavior. that's reckless behavior. why would you do that? >> and, tucker, even worse
