we have been talking to robert smith about ok program, our kids. when i first saw it, i thought oakland kids. but this program extends throughout the state helping the young people and young kids. tell us about that, the fact that it is in other parts of the country. >> currently, we have ok program in i believe seven states and chapters like oakland. we call them chapters. a chapter is a middle school that we start in that feeds into a high school. so all the chapters are ran by african american police officers. they try to follow the young boys we recruit into the program from 6th grade to 12th grade too build the relationship and stick with them through any issues they might encounter. >> do you find them open? do they feel intimidated by seeing police officers? how do you find that experience? >> at first just because of what's been going on in the news and media, young kids, especially african american boys, are concerned when you first approach them. i am officer smith and this is my program. but really when the young men, if you stay consist

that's more prosecutors than robert mueller ever had. we also know jack smith has been adding resources within doj whereas mueller set himself up on an island separate from doj. and jack smith has been innovating on the fly. robert mueller had to start from day one. there are investigative differences and procedures. >> remind us what a special counsel is and the powers they have. >> special counsel does not have magical superpowers. the primary power that special counsel has is their federal prosecutors. there's a difference in the level of independent they have. here's special counsel regulations. first of all, the special counsel is not subject to the day-to-day supervision of the attorney general. they have to notify the a.g. of significant events. certainly, that will include an indictment. really importantly, the attorney general merrick garland can overrule the special counsel but he has to give the special counsel's recommendation great weight. meaning he has to sort of defer but not give way to the special counsel. this is really important. if that hap

already the team that smith inherits is twice the size of the special counsel investigation under robert mueller. about 20 prosecutors working with jack smith on the january 6th side alone. according to several sources who spoke to cnn anonymously some of those people are digging into a financial investigation that has flown under the radar and that already is pretty sizable as well. they look to funding of rioters, political contributions and in recent weeks our reporting team understands some of the january 6th prosecutors are asking also about donald trump's knowledge and understanding of what was about to happen at the capitol on january 6th, so smith is examining the former president very closely trying to understand the plan and was it to steal the election. we've learned that investigative team has always been able to take a case up to trump if the evidence leads them there. of course aside from that january 6th work other national security prosecutors have been looking at the handling of federal records after trump left office and they, too, are shifting to working for jack smith

robert mueller. >> i think a big difference is mueller was really starting from scratch when he got started. this is an investigation well underway. they've been working on it for months. jack smith is relying on career prosecut prosecutors at the justice department to carry this forward. and the big difference is donald trump is no longer the president of the united states. so robert mueller hit a point where he knew he was not going to be able to prosecute donald trump. he was a sitting president. that is not a constraint that jake smith has. >> the january 6th committee is expected to announce its criminal referrals, if any, next week. who do you think will be on that list? >> well, what we're hearing sounds like it makes sense to me. the former president himself of course and then some of the people who were the likely architect of this scheme. rudy giuliani, mark meadows was certainly in the thick of it. john eastman, jeff clark. it seems to me those are the big names who were in the room with the former president hatching this plan then carrying it out. >> right, in addition to the seditious conspiracy convictions of the oath keepers. just how much other work does the commi

that's what adam smith really wrote about. according to robert bork jr., the antitrust bill would enact so many potential ways to prosecute, abuse and torment companies that government would in essence become the real board of directors and every major company would be ruled by the federal government. that is what is coming. that is what they're proposing. this bill today is a small step in that direction, but what they have in the pipeline is more government control of business. the package today is a mere precursor to designating the department of justice and the ftc as the central planners of the american economy. this bill seeks to take the power out of the hands of the consumers and hand it to the antitrust bureaucrats. therefore, i object. the presiding officer: the objection is heard. mr. lee: mr. president, it's unfortunate the objection has been launched. i think i disagree with every single assertion in there. that's not what this bill does, not in the slightest. this bill does not take the position that big is bad. i'm well familiar wi

robert mueller and how he operated. but the real value of the january 6 committee work for smith and the justice department is not so much the referrals, but the evidence they've gathered, interviews that they've conducted and the transcripts and these are the first time that the justice department will be seeing these. and those could potentially help them in their investigation and as they make these critical prosecution decisions. but i will say in conversations with the former president's attorneys, they believe some of this evidence could help them and they argue it could help they are client, particularly to undermine the arguments that any of this was premeditated. so now all of this evident will be in the public sphere over the next few days and it is interesting to see how this plays out. >> that is a good point. great to see you, paula. >>> joining me now for all of this is gloria borger and senior law enforcement analyst former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe and former federal prosecutor sham wu. on this meeting happening today that warren fox was just talking about which will decide whether donald trump's

roberts in question. questions being asked, sandra. >> sandra: so many, and to weigh in on the christmas song debate, never too much christmas music in my opinion, john. >> john: never enough. >> sandra: sandra smith in new york. in about an hour, to give you a head's up, we are expecting a news conference. it is expected from the federal prosecutors here in new york city. after both the southern district of new york and the sec filed charges against sam bankman-fried. he allegedly orchestrated the scheme to defraud investors and used their funds to make undisclosed investments, lavish real estate purchases and large political donations. all led to the sudden collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange, ftx, filed for bankruptcy. >> john: he is in custody of the bahamian government. u.s. is asking for his extradition back to american soil. capitol hill hearing went on as scheduled without sbf. lawmakers slamming him for his role in ftx's downfall. >> my fear is we will view sam bankman-fried as just one big snake in a crypto garden of eden. >> it appears to be the same old school fraud, just using new technology. >> everybody loved the exciting idea of a politically progressive, smart, entrepreneur wh

smith in new york. great to be with you on this tuesday. >> john: good to be with you as well, nothing more important than spending the next two hours with you. john robertswashington. the president is heading to arizona but instead of visiting the border he's going to phoenix to a semiconductor factory. >> sandra: working on an immigration proposal to provide a path to legalization for dreamers and increase border security funding. a senate said says that would extend title 42 for least a year. >> john: marsha blackburn with the answer to that, and mike tobin is live in eagle pass, texas and you have more on how the border union is responding to what the president said on his way to arizona. >> we just heard from the president's lips, why isn't he visiting the border, he has more important things going on. a swift response from brandon judd, nothing is more important than the safety and security of the american people but to president biden it is an afterthought with record number of people and drugs, including deadly fentanyl crossing our border, apparent biden cares more about politics than our children, friends, and neighbors. and the migrants keep co

prior one robert mueller, he investigated things that happened during the course of his own investigation when trump was trying to fire him. that isn't the case here. what you have is jack smith coming in in an investigation that is already ongoing and in the mueller investigation he did -- he did take over one piece of an investigation that was ongoing, the manafort case, that was a case that had already been investigated, already had a team in place, he indicted him within five months. i actually think the mar-a-lago piece will go the fastest, i would not be surprised if we saw an indictment in 2023. >> you heard katelyn relating the trump legal team's view, jack smith he has been over in europe, hasn't been germinating as they say in the coverage of the january 6 hearings and that gives them some sort of advantage here. i wonder if you believe that's right. >> well, i do think having somebody with fresh eyes might be helpful for january 6th. i think that that is a much harder case for the justice department to bring than mar-a-lago whereas i think the mar-a-lago documents case is very straightforward, but as a practical matter let's be real here, a special counsel leaving
