my name is steve weisman. i am a boy the firm of -- a professor at bentley university what i teach white-collar crime, author and editor of scamicide.com where each today i provide new information about the latest scams, ginty theft and cybersecurity developments and tips on how to avoid these problems. scamicide whizzing by the "new york times" is one of the three best sources for information about covid related scams. when it comes to fraud and scams affecting seniors i really don't do things and not as bad as you think. unfortunately they are far worse. according to the ftc consumer report which was just released a few weeks ago and you mention, older americans reportedly lost $1.6 billion to fraud and scams in 2022, and as you also mention this number is undoubtedly lower than actual figure because many seniors for a variety of reasons including embarrassment or ashamed failed to report the scams perpetrated against them. the ftc estimates in 2022 the actual amount lost by seniors could be s.i.s. 48.4 bill

weisman writes that it was the resistance of the palestinians that delayed the implementation of the plans. after the departure of england, the haganah takes over the remaining weapons and a group of them become members of the police to monitor people's lives and property. this is the mouse method. he used to shake hands with the arabs and attack them at night. with increasing tensions palestinian villages are being evacuated one after another . palestine is going towards destruction. muslims get angry. the fire of war flares up. arab countries are moving towards palestine in the form of the salvation army. in the beginning, the arabs manage to advance . but the united nations quickly intervenes and the war stops. israel quickly imports weapons and ammunition and changes the scene of the battle . the war is defeated and the liberated lands are occupied again. the arabs are defeated. according to historians and researchers, in 1948, genocide occurs. there are no exact statistics. a thousand people have been killed. the victims were buried in gurus and the bodies of many people were hi

steve weisman is a scam expert. told senators it's critical to educate americans on how to detect scammers in the first place. senator elizabeth warren's bipartisan bill, the digital asset anti money laundering act would make it easier for financial regulators to track any suspicious crypto activity and then shut down the scammers. >> last year we saw 350% increase in crypto investment scams targeting seniors. that is the biggest spike among all age groups. anytime you're asked to click on a link, you've got to be skeptical. >> a victim of the ai scam telling congress says they need to do more to punish scammers whether or not the scam was successful. >> coming sweet update on orphaned who are getting a new orphaned who are getting a new home here in the bay area. travel. there is nothing like it dancing is my passion. but with my moderate-to-severe eczema, it hasn't always been easy. i was constantly itching. whatever i was doing now, i'm staying ahead of my eczema there's a power inside all of us to live our passi

in fact be, is there any evidence spokesman has said the following, the shooting of the attack on weisman boulevard. the entrance to jerusalem and the medics and permit exp, providing medical treatment to 7 victims, including 2 in critical condition who are still being treated in the field and 5 who have been taken to the hospitals. we're also seeing a number of videos they do show as to what looked like to be a gunman who are dead on the streets of the is really all measles i surrounded a call set to be used by those government coming into the entrance of jerusalem. once they got that, they started shooting at the bus station near that, and then these ready, all these ready police rather came onto the scene and neutralized sides these ready word for killed. those to attack is this is a significant attack in the west of jerusalem. the entrance to the city, it's something that hasn't been really seen in the last few weeks. there was an uptick in the tax in the summer, but we haven't really seen that. so this is a very significant development. those numbers will be changing at these really

in the end, the sub, or weisman to garland and said, i need to become special counsel to finish this is where we find ourselves now. hunter biden indicted on a gun charge. the republicans making these allegations that this is a corrupt investigation. deeply disappointed that they didn't take down the government. >> that is an incredibly important bit of contact. as usual, michael schmidt, thank you so much for coming on the show. we appreciate. it an hour from now senate republicans will hold a special conference meeting. they're gonna try to find a way to stop senator tommy tuberville's ten month long hold on military promotion. tuberville actually requested that meeting signaling he might be open to a solution for the first time as he tries to avoid having a group of republicans joined democrats in an effort to bypass them. tuberville has held up more than 350 high-level military promotions in opposition to the pentagon's abortion policy. still ahead, how election day is going in one virginia county. poll workers quit in droves over 2020 conspiracy theories. the morning that may gi

. >> residents island weisman and her partner now make their home in a hotel, some 40 miles south in tiberius. >> everything that is here in the middle, from the children's things, were all donated. >> residents here are among 60,000 israelis who have fled south. one consequence of the october 7th attacks is a temporary migration from northern israel south into southeast israel north, with top of the israeli military creating a buffer zone inside gaza, and perhaps later in southern lebanon. the reality today is that those buffers zones exist, but inside israel. for evacuees from kibbutz -- the pain and fear of october 7th remains raw. a polina still has trouble explaining what happened to her three children. do you think the kids understand what happened? the eldest children, she tells me, understand that we're fighting for our home. >> do you talk to them about it? they see and they are aware. this is the reality of israel post october 7th. a country more aware than ever, perhaps, of the threat on its southern and northern borders. but that awareness leaves open the question of when

with us, hugo lowell and you're, weisman with a summary. andrew what do you? think we all say anecdotally, man, if trump becomes president, he's gonna go after people. but then you read in print with names, it takes it to a new level. >> well this is what i think. if you asked any mccabe, pete strzok, lisa page, chris krebs, i mean you can go on -- >> jim comey -- >> jim comey. gee, what do you think about this report doing if he's going to become president? and they would say, what do you mean he's going to do? that's what he did. >> they got audited while trump was in office. >> and mccabe did. so i think this is sivs playbook. the idea that there would be a -- of the white house and the department of justice, it didn't exist while he was president before. and it's not gonna exist when he becomes president again. and that means that he will go after his enemies, and his fans won't be prosecuting the same way that he was pardoned roger stone, michael flynn, steve bannon. so -- he views the justice department is just a tool. this is authoritarian third world c

a concession our friend of the show and shoot weisman calls key. very key. remember, the judge already found a blatantly defrauded banks and jurors, this trial and we are watching now, is about how much the trumps will have to pay damages it. is about money, and has got a businesses. things the former president whose entire identity is wrapped up in his brand very much cares about and probably should have taken the chance today to try and stop the bleeding over but instead trump logic that happens over and over. this chaos was not even an accident it was on purpose although what we saw today in the courtroom, we knew this was going to, do we knew this was what they were going to do as rolling stone reported yesterday, trump and his lawyers doubled on a strategy to quote, built on spite and unbridled untied newsome that included deliberately trying to provoke the judge which again is what we saw today that was their strategy according to that same report -- a so-called torment order to put him in custody from reportedly the judges rulings might be a good thin

and weisman served as fbi general counsel in a senior member of robert mueller's investigative team. now the co-host are prosecuting donald trump podcast, and he joins me now. andrew, the revelation about pence's notes and the grassley subplot don't bear directly, i think, on the government's case against trump. but the access to pence they have does seem to me a material difference in accessed information that no one else has yet to obtain so far who has investigated january 6th. >> that's right, you pointed out that mike pence did not voluntarily appear before the january six committee but you couldn't do the same thing with department of justice which has grand jury subpoena power. so he has had to play ball. but i do think that the notes are going to in some ways helped the government and in some ways help donald trump. the reason i say that is as a trial lawyer i think that it's going to make very palpable that there was so much pressure on mike pence. he is both a witness and an exhibit. he's a witness because he has terribly damaging statements to offer with respect to donald

one is going straight to the museum of broadcasting, not just because we have the comedy team of weisman and touchy all with us. but if you can hear the chuckling, we are all in the same room together. >> oh. >> for the first time in broadcasting history. and covid footnote, it's the first time we've had two guests in my studio since before covid. >> oh, wow. >> so all sorts of historic broadcasting stuff. >> live human energy, live human energy in the middle of your tv show, watch out. >> thanks rachel,. >> thanks, lawrence. >> well, each side was given 20 minutes, which is the norm. and it means it was going to last 40 minutes. but the peels court hearing today in washington, d.c., considering a weighty and unprecedented first amendment issue lasted two hours and 20 minutes and here is why. >> would your position be any different if you are here a year ago, if the timer just a year ago, so much for the removed from a political , uld your position be any different? >> -- little political campaign. -- the hypothetical. >> what he was saying there is i don't mean to fight the hypothetical

also here at the table is former top official andrew weisman, plus former congressman david jolly is here. betrayal, in my opinion, was the road map that the select committee agreed was the road map from investigating how january 6th happened. this feels darker, if that's possible. this feels like the road map donald trump would use to turn our democracy into something really different, what he envisions, what's out, what's being covered. i think the excerpts from your book put in motion the reveal, and these are plans on paper. >> january 6th committee did a tremendous job of describing what january 6th was all about. we have seen the prosecution have outlined all that donald trump did to use the powers of the presidency to try to overturn american democracy torks try to overturn a presidential election. but this is darker because what this is not trying to explin donald trump on january 6th, this is looking at what he would do if he were to get power again. and i firmly believe, and the research in this book lays it out, that trump is going to be more determined to up end the norms

also joining us is top official at the justice department andrew weisman is here. also joining us is former lead investigator for the january 6th committee tim hait is with us. i'm not sure if this is an appropriate question. what did we learn today? >> we learned that donald trump, i think we already knew, but donald trump is not going to answer questions with facts. he's not going to actually address the issues on the table. we learned he remains hostile and angry about this whole thing. we learned you sort of separated himself from his sons in how they are addressing it. their approach, which seems like it might have been coached by lawyers, is to say we don't know anything. the lawyers over here, the accountants told us what to do. donald trump's defense is i didn't do anything wrong. i'm right, you are wrong, no matter what documents you have. everything i have is worth far more than that you say it is. he went back to mar-a-lago and sit this is not worth $18 million. that's the property assessment. those never match value. what he said was worth is in the hun
