to weigh in on both of the sprawling federal investigations into the former presidents. he s coming up first. plus the chair of the house democratic congress, pete aguilar, on how the party should be messaging around all of trump s legal troubles. later, officer harry dunn defended the capitol, and democracy on january six. alaska how he feels now that an indictment and that case might be right around the corner. well a lot happened this week, there s no question. overall, two big things stuck out to me. first of, all week was an extraordinary reminder of just how much legal trouble the former president is in. i mean, it really is something to have everyone on edge, all eyes glued on the courthouse in washington d.c., watching what jack smith is going to do, waiting for an indictment in the investigation in his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. only to have a new separate, superseding indictment drop in the investigation into his handling of classified documents.
army in khartoum since mid april. i ve been speaking to ted chaiban, deputy executive director of humanitarian action and supply operations at unicef. he told me what the situation in sudan is like after more than 3 months of conflict. 100 days into this conflict in sudan, what has happened to children and theirfamilies is unimaginable. 2a million sudanese are in need of assistance, that s 14 million children in need of dire support. since the beginning of the conflict, 435 children have been killed. more than 2000 have been wounded. that s only what s reported. the actual numbers are much higher. it is a severe violation, a killing or injuring of a child every hourfor 100 days. it is an extraordinary set of numbers that you gave us there. what is the kind of support that is most needed? unicef and partners on the ground are making a difference. we ve reached 3 million children with health supplies throughout the country, it s a lot harder in darfurand khartoum. 1.7 million p
That will trudge the trauma as interesting and i m sure a factor. there is audio that we know about, and now they have the physical document. i ve heard other legal experts say that now it means that that audio will definitely be used in court. and that before it was possible it could have been that they could ve tried to pull it out. is that your understanding? and how significant is that? i think that even before count 32 was charged, i think there were very good legal arguments for the admissibility of the audio from when he was flashing it around up at bedminster. that s what s called 404(b) epidemic, in reference to rule for a four b of the rules of evidence that allow information to come in, not to prove character or action and conformity with character, but to prove things like motive and intent and knowledge in absence of a mistake. but the judge can keep out rule for obi evidence if the judge thinks that it s progressive value is out range by its prejudice.
We seen in other countries but certainly we don t see water cannons on our sc streets in the uk. something like this happening in the united kingdom i think it would be a huge amount of dismay and concern. part of the problem is, it s always been a problem in israel is its voting system, the way it defined a proportional representation means that whoever wants to lead has to get in alliance of parties together. in the last 20 years increasingly the influence on more extreme right wing parties in israel have held the cards in terms of who is going to become the prime minister, who is going to lead the country. and this is a result of what we re seeing now. a huge proportion of the country is missing in this debate. in i think a more progressive value in the country that is missing because basically, they are not able
Thing to do. fight to what end, to make a bunch of white guys in silicon valley richer than they are. i love the chaos of the first week of musk when all these young kids are like, changing their name to like monsanto. more of that and less of us trying to save it to make it to like build our audience. clearly, there are different ways to build them. you guys raise such interesting issues. you come at this as a storyteller, what you think about the fact that what musk wants to be and part of that right-wing plutalkeracy wants to be is what they re not, which is fundamentally inclusive. free speech, i believe, properly understood is inclusive. it means, oh, different ideas or people who seem different are actually allowed to interact, which was not always but i think a traditional progressive value. and the meme thing you said which is just kind of be cool, fun, and creative, which i think is the joy, and i know it s hard
