Hi, everyone. It is 4 00 in New York. Ever heard the saying history does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes . Keep that in mind as we see natural disasters disrupting the natural churn of campaigns, and as we witness Donald Trumps response and the hurricanes that are right now putting millions of lives, american lives in danger as we come on the air. And again, the crisis where Life And Death decisions are being made and more decisions that require more than a partisan response, but one that requires trusted leadership. Donald trump continues to act like someone who has stewed in his own lies and delusions for so long, that he is incapable of telling the truth. Even when lives are on the line. Last night he claimed that there was not a single Emergency Worker on the ground helping people impacted by hurricane helene. How would you do it differently . I would have a tremendous team of people. And look, i was in North Carolina and georgia yesterday. You have very good governor and do
friends? alan der sh wits, i agree him on issue in the middle east, israel, our closest ally. where are the civil libertarians supposedly in the democratic party because their voices have been silent. is it political differences that they are willing to accept this type of intelligence abuse and abuse of power and spying on other candidates. organizations like the aclu that used to be for the first amendment no matter what have changed policy because you can raise more money being on one side or the other. i m disappointed more are not concerned about what is going on with the fbi. this is about all campaigns. we can t allow the deep state to operate in this manner. we have to get to the bottom of what is going on here.
in a meeting early march, mueller threatened to hall the president before a grand jury. doud responded, this isn t some game. you are screwing with the work of the president of the united states. the brush back appeared to have effect. the following week they dick kateed thdictatedthe questions . alan dir sh wits said based on the questions, president trump should never sit for an interview. i would take advantage of the questions, and i would submit answers in writing to almost all of them, and then make objections to the others based on article ii of the constitution, and then tell the american public, i have answered all of these questions. why are they trying to bring me into a grand jury? there was another shakeup in
law scholar and harvard law school professor allen dir sh wits. what do you think means? scrutiny versus being investigated? there are so many questions being asked as it relates to the trump campaign and ties to russia. we knew jared was going to be asked a lot of questions. of course. i don t see this as a major development. for me, as a civil libertarian, it raises great concern. we have a special counsel with a mandate not to investigate crime but to investigate the entire russian matter. and in general, prosecutors are given statutory authority when to investigate only federal statutory crimes. i have no idea what crime is going to be investigated here. it s not a crime for a political campaign to coordinate with a foreign government. perhaps it should be. it s a terrible thing to do. it s not a crime. i worry that the special counsel has a roving commission to
reporter laura jarrett and alan der sh wits. laura, i want to talk about the trump administration reversing a policy that protects transgender students to use the bathroom of the gender they identified with. how is this being received? either with fear or with praise, don. depending on who you talk to. i spoke to a number of advocates for transgender youth who said their phones are ringing off the hook from parents who are scared. they view it as a fundamental right to equality. then you have sean spicer doubling down today on this idea that the federal government should stay out of this issue entirely because it s about state rights. then we see at least some states reacting. for instance the governors in new york and connecticut put out strong statements saying they plan to protect transgender
