robinson: he was a much better president than he has been given credit for.inning to be revised and to be recognized, and i think what was said at the funeral today, reflected that. i felt he was an important president. first of all, he made an enormously important piece, you know, the way in which he brought them together for 13 days and he was working with them. he often spoke about that. he was a founder elder, like me, of the group that nelson mandela brought together in 2007. he was a very active elder, very engaged. he often spoke about peace in northern ireland. i went three times with him on visits to what he called the holy land, of course. israel and palestine. he clearly wanted peace for israel, which would only come about with justice for the palestinians, meaning a two state solution. caitriona: what do you think can be learned from his life now? fmr. pres. robinson: i think it is very interesting that so many people wanted to pay tribute to him. you saw the crowds, even leaving planes and going to atlanta. i went to the capitol with a group of h

i know you have distanced yourself from what he said about tommy robinson...what, realfriends when they meet face—to—face and they have conversations and they agree on they agree to disagree and that is what open society and free speech is all about. but have you out anyone in your team said to elon musk that his calls for tommy robinson to be released from prison, a convicted offender, somebody on the far right who you yourself are worked very hard to distance yourself from, have you told and he is wrong about that? i think you're missing the point. the point. the point is the fact that he supports me politically and supports does not mean that i have to agree with every single statement he makes on x. i think you're getting bogged down in this, i will in the operation have a conversation with him in a variety of things and this will no doubt be one of them. no doubt the media getting to hang up on this. frankly, what he says about other people, what his views on electric vehicles are whatever it may be is irrelevant. would i rather live in a world where we'r

he's not tommy robinson. he's actually a billionaire who can sway elections and has the ear of the president of the united states from january 20th 2025. >> one might say he's his boss, but he's donald trump's los and that trump's of her boss, vladimir putin, these two, they do have local designs. ed lucas had a great point in the financial times. musk speaking for trump, in which case the west is as good as dead, or is he testing the waters that would give western capital scope to exploit differences between trump and musk? the answer is probably the two but at the moment trump is either talking tough to make it look like he's the real boss by saying he's going to invade panama and greenland and canada, and be an expansionist like putin, or he's just speaking putin and elon's desires. i could never tell which. i just know that trump is not in charge. >> before we go any further, joy, let's just take a step back to your viewers and just remind ourselves, to keep ourselves sane, none of this is normal. right?

those who are cheerleading tommy robinson are not interested in justice.y're supporting a man who went to prison for nearly collapsing a grooming case, a gang grooming case. these are people who are trying to get some kind of vicarious thrill from street violence that people like tommy robinson promote. and those attacking jess phillips, who i am proud to call a colleague and a friend, not protecting victims. jess phillips has done a thousand times more than they've even dreamt about when it comes to protecting victims of sexual abuse throughout her entire career. and so, just as i took on the criminaljustice system and the institutions when i was chief prosecutor, i'm prepared to call out this for what it is. we've seen this playbook many times, whipping up of intimidation and threats of violence, hoping that the media will amplify it. jess phillips does not need me or anybody else to speak on her behalf. but when the poison of the far right leads to serious threats tojess phillips and others, then, in my book, a line has been crossed. let's speak to our

and he's always stayed away from tommy robinson because nigel farage thinks when you're with tommy robinson, whose reputation is extremism, racism, football, hooliganism, then you're a 5% politician. so musk has actually taken himself out of mainstream politics by attacking farage for not backing robinson. so it shows that this attempt to be the sort of citizen kane of the world isn't going to work if you're not credible in the countries you're trying to influence. we could treat him like a pantomime bond villain, except it will stoke up violence at the extreme end of the sort we saw in britain. so it's not that he's going to change our government, but he can make our society more dangerous. >> in a moment from biden's border legacy to extreme weather events to terror attacks, reflections and warnings from the outgoing secretary of homeland security, alejandro mayorkas. >> the key is to be strong on enforcement while staying true to our values as a nation. >> kobe the making of a legend premieres january 25th on cnn. >> my mental health was better, but uncontrollable movements called td tar

faraj has distanced himself from robinson and we have reported several politicians in the u.k.e on the republican right warning them against endorsing robinson because they say his particularly your hue of anti-immigrant politics just is not supported by the mainstream right in britain. it's a big question because at the moment he has only suggested rupert lowe should succeed him so that is something to watch. >> one of the animating factors for him seems to be this child abuse scandal and how it's been handled at the local level but also now by the labor leadership and a target on the back of keir starmer. that's how he has put it at least politically speaking. this seems to be an animating factor for him. what has the u.k. government been saying about that scandal? >> the reason this has come back to the forefront of british politics is because labor has rejected calls for republican cory into it. musk has said that starmer is complicit in the rate of britain but he was head of the crown prosecution service that began the prosecution of these grooming gangs in british towns.

you make abraham lincoln, jackie robinson come alive, who do you really think that you are trying to wake up? i was 39 or 40. all the sudden it was losing like one stage of the rocket and i could then invest personally with my brother and my young daughters in understanding finding my mother who had never been -- there was no burial. she was in a grave. my brother and i had to track her down and put out a memorial and be present every april 28. i've got to girls, my little girls text me every day. i called my mother mommy and they called their mom mama and we have this connection. she lives every single day. it's one of those mysterious things that happen again, not just within individuals but between individuals but within the story of nations. so i think i've asked a question about our country and every film and i think the answers are the reverberations, the answers he sort of deepen them with each successive project had become equally as personal as they are sort of general and kind of what you would expect. the top-down views of history. we try to meet it with the bottom-up hist

but if he's constantly having to fend off, well, how close is elon musk to tommy robinson?ing to be a political problem for reform and for nigel farage. yeah, christian, that's a really interesting point. and, you know, even among maga, the maga world here, we are seeing some some cracks there in elon musk�*s influence. and, you know, laura loomer, a far right figure here who has obviously in the past been very controversial. she criticised elon musk when he and vivek ramaswamy, remember, the two of them are heading up the new department of government efficiency, talked about the need for h—ib visas here in the us. so bringing in kind of the top talent engineers and that clashes with some of the america first anti—immigration rhetoric that we're seeing from the maga world. so, you know, his position is going to be fascinating to watch. but it brings me, i think, to the point that i've been looking at this week, which is the new congress coming in the 119th congress. of course, you know, it's going to be very interesting to watch. and i've been thinking about what a challeng
