jeffrey, do you think it was the subscription model that was so problematic? >> i think it's a convergence of a number of things, julia. the so, yes, we had a new product. we asked people to pay for it before they actually understood what it was. i think we thought there would be easier adoption by people to it i think that the environment that we found ourselves in as you heard us say many times, this is designed for on the go in between and a moment of time in which no one was on the go. they're still not on the go. and so our product market fit was wrong. i mean, somewhere between the idea being less than perfect which we own and the environment we found ourselves in is where the fail has come. how much is, you know, what each of those are in that equation, i'm not sure any of us are ever going to know. but it didn't work having said that, i guess the content made is something, you know, that we're quite proud of. i think has been actually really, really well received i'm sorry. >> no. jeffrey, i actually was going to reference something you now famously to

they came out after jeffrey epstein died. she just wants it out there. elaine maxwell's lawyers were obvious the concern that it would sway opinion. it's a really dark story about a young woman who was vulnerable and tricked into being trafficked by two very savvy operators surrounded by very powerful people. a lot of the names are redacted, names of his associates, powerful men. we can assume that prince andrew, and bill clinton are named but they are redacted. but some of the names, some survivors as long as it did not —— as young as 14 are redacted. they wa nt to —— as young as 14 are redacted. they want to protect their privacy, and i just wonder why the court took so —— such care of redacting the names of these prominent men and not the victims. thank so much for sharing your thoughts. thank you. here in britain, the chancellor of the exchequer has unveiled billions of pounds of extra support forjobs and workers hit by covid restrictions. rishi sunak said that even businesses not forced to shut were facing "profound economic uncertainty"

joining us david chalian and jeffrey toobin. david, i put this in the large or context, the president attacking the most trusted man in america on the pad as one of those things that might help explain why the campaign is where it is right now, leaning into things that don't politically seem to help him and explains also why the president is where he is in this campaign right now. >> right. >> and so is joe biden. let's just put up on the screen so people can see the different campaign events, where each campaign is this week. trump, florida, pennsylvania, iowa, north carolina, georgia. the biden team, ohio, florida and pennsylvania. when you with your trained eyes see this, david chalian, what jumps out? >> the president is playing complete defense, right? he is trying to shore up states that his campaign long ago thought would be off the map by now, places like iowa or ohio where mike pence was yesterday and where joe biden was playing offense yesterday, they didn't think those states that he won by 8, 9 points this 2016 three

jeffrey: pete, what was your take? pete: he did not really prepare for this debate as he felt like he did usually a press conferences, which obviously were very combative in the way that he them. he stepped into a debate that was meant to be an exchange of ideas and attempted to dominate. jeffrey: i want to broaden and out to the rules of our society, to put it into context. i want to read a quote to you from one report about the debate. for many, a hallmark of thriving american democracy, the presidential debate was instead transformed into an emblem of micro see's deterioration. the question i wanted to ask you -- an emblem of democracy's interior ration. how much does public language matter? danielle: democracy depends on language. it is the instrument of self-government. the quality of our language matters immensely. one of the issues is truth. to think that a conversation, the practice of taking turns and so forth, once upon a time that was something that was proper immensely in the educational system. it has real

abby phillip, jeffrey toobin, look, this is someone who was a law professor for most of her career, jeffrey, a relatively short term on the bench so far. she's been there a few years, since october 2017. there's not a ton of major opinions so that people can tell exactly what her jurisprudence is. she was in so many ways molded by the justice she clerked for and that was the late scalia. listen to this. >> i clerked for justice scalia more than 20 years ago, but the lessons i learned still resonate. his judicial philosophy is mine too. a judge must apply the law as written. judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold. >> she is an originalist. tell us what it means and how molded she was by justice scalia in terms of what we can expect ahead if confirmed. >>let just talk about that line about policy views. let me translate that into english. what that means is that if a state wants to ban abortion, that should be up to the state. that's a policy that the court should not address. in other words, roe v. wade should be overturned. i

jeffrey: we think we will get through wave two. we have been expecting it, and think by year end, we should be through the worst of the second wave. policy support will be ongoing, and central banks, we have already seen signs they are willing to go more and extend the schemes. they have spent a trillion euros addressing the pandemic. valuations for european equities look really attractive supported by yields of 3%, and relative to fixed income of the yield ratio is attractive at two .5%. finally, when you look at the technical backdrop for european equities, it is attractive under ownedets are and unloved. we think there will be a gradual perception change toward european equities. with that analysis, would you say you are a buyer on this dip? jeffrey: we would be a buyer into weakness that entrenches. we would not now. we have several weeks of covid intensive ahead of us, and the elections over the next few days that will cause market uncertainty. what we are looking to do is what we want for next year by the end of this year. it

jeffrey: i think we observed quite a bit about last night. it was a striking moment when savannah guthrie was pressing the president about whether he would disown this extremely fringe conspiracy theory known alleges that top democrats are in cahoots with pedophiles and sex traffickers, and that donald trump really a secret agent aiming to save the world from these and various villains. of course, trump wouldn't disown it. he claimed he didn't know anything about it before jumping in and saying they are against pedophiles, and that is a good thing. clearly he is lying. clearly he knows quite a bit about it. tom: lisa abramowicz and jon ferro get the love notes. i've gotten hate mail, and at already gotten hate mail this morning from trump supporters who separate his discourse from policy and from what they believe are the attributes they can vote for. is that appropriate? is that going to be something new to american politics? jeffrey: if we are going to the polls, it is always a lesser evil justification. we never have candidates that align

jeffrey kofman, i am going to start with you on that, if i may. do you think that pete the way people are thinking about who to vote for now is simply not about which grand vision they like that who they think is going to get the immediatejob done? i don't think you can separate this questions. i think clearly for five years we have talked about on this programme when trump would hit that tipping point when the american people would stop believing of accepting what he says, when that teflon presidency would be seen for what it is and i think inaudible... trump insisting even this week the us is turning a corner when there is simply no evidence, the evidence is that things are getting worse so i think there were a number of factors involved. one, people are voting early because of the pandemic, because of social distancing. two, there is a huge amount of engagement. people are very, very polarised, obviously, on trump and they want to make sure their vote counts. they have heard him talk about trying challenging votes and there are all sorts of tal

epstein. >> this is the hundred page deposition of ghislaine maxwell, jeffrey epstein's former girlfriend and alleged madam that she didn't want the public to see, for more than two years, maxwell's lawyers fought to keep the deposition sealed, arguing it would taint a jury and make it impossible for maxwell to get a fair criminal trial. maxwell faces four criminal sex trafficking charges, she's accused of recruiting, grooming, and abusing underage girls along with epstein, she faces two counts of perjury for lying under oath in this newly released deposition from a 2016 lawsuit who accuses maxwell of facilitating and participating in sexually abusing her. maxwell denied having any knowledge of epstein abusing minors saying "i never saw any inappropriate underage activities with jeffrey ever." on recruiting any underaged girls, first of all, i resent and despise the word recruit, i never had to do anything with underage people, in fact the deposition is littered with maxwell saying i don't recall and i don't recollect -- then there's this photo allegedly taken inside maxwell's london home

jeffe jeffrey toobin, i was really struck by this part of her opening statement. she talks about being perspectives to the bench, i'd be the first mother of school age children, first justice from the seventh circuit in 45 years and the only justice who did not attend harvard or yale. and i say that with a smiele, bt i do think it really matters just in terms of thought and approach. >> i think it's ridiculous that all the justices had gone to harvard and jayale. >> i thought you were going to say my question is ridiculous. >> no, no, you know, there are lots of good law schools in the country and there's no reason for all -- only two to be represented on the supreme court. >> right. >> and you know, i mean, i guess because i'm a father too, i mean, the idea that a mother of school-age children is so different from a father of school-age children, you know, there have been lots of -- john roberts was a father of school-age children. >> good point. >> when he became chief justice of the united states. i mean, so, yes, it is an interesting distinction, and it is, yo

jeffrey epstein took his own life oil waiting for trial in jail. for more, let's go to my colleague in new york. what is the significance of this testimony? >> jane, the miami herald, which came out with thexpose that led to scrutiny on the epstein case had been fighting for years to get this deposition released. on the one hand we know it makes the bas of the perjury charges in the criminal case against elaine maxwell and because we've heard so little from maxwell herself, this is 465 pages of questioning the public is able to go through. jane: who is named in it apart from epstein and maxwell? >> a lot of the deposition dealt with claims by virginia roberts. a lot of this deposition is guillain maxwell saying she never hired underaged girls to work as masseuses. it goes through some of the travel she did. she claims bill clinton was never on the private island. she did travel onis private jet. she would not even characterize the men as friends. there has been a lot of focus because virginia has named prince andrew as one of the men she was having

"new yorker" magazine told fox news jeffrey jeffrey toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter. and in a statement to motherboard, he said "i made an embarrassingly stupid mistake leaving i was off camera. i apologize to my wife, family, friends, and coworkers. i believed i was not visible on zoom. i thought no one on the zoom call to see me. i thought i had muted the zoom video." it's unclear if or when he will appear on cnn again. the network said it granted him some time off in his request while the "deals with a personal issue." sean. >> sean: okay, rick, thank you. i thought i've heard it all. rick leventhal.wh now this thursday, the presidential biden will face off, one debate before election day just like clockwork, the mob, the media, they're doing everything they can do to protect the weak, frail and cognitively struggling and corrupt joe biden because breaking tonight, the debate commission has now adopted a new rule, unilaterally to mute microphones, claiming it's to allow each candidate to have uninterrupted time. this debate commission is corrupt and abusive

jeffrey epstein took his own life oil waiting for trial in jail. for more, let's go to my colleague in new york. what is the significance of this testimony? >> jane, the miami herald, which came out with thexpose that led to scrutiny on the epstein case had been fighting for years to get this deposition released. on the one hand we know it makes the basis of the perjury charges in the criminal case against elaine maxwell and because we've heard so little from maxwell herself, this is 465 pages of questioning the public is able to go through. jane: who is named in it apart from epstein and maxwell? >> a lot of the deposition dealt with claims by virginia roberts. a lot of this deposition is guillain maxwell saying she never hired underaged girls to work as masseuses. it goes through some of the travel she did. she claims bill clinton was never on the private island. she did travel on his private jet. she would not even characterize the men as friends. there has been a lot of focus because virginia has named prince andrew as one of the men she was ha

justice jeffrey toobin. the democrats know they can't trip her on a basic question, how would you rule. they're getting more granular. the challenge of the affordable care act before the high court, many believe they can throw it out, gut it as unconstitutional. there's a term severability, if there's tennell em elements of of law, do the other nine. listen when that came up. >> a doctrine called severability, sounds like legalese, but is it okay with the statute, could you pluck that part out, let the rest of the statute stand or is that provision which has been zeroed out so critical to the statute that the whole statute falls. so really the issue in the case is the doctrine of sever ability, that's not something i talked about with respect to the affordable care act. honestly, i haven't written anything about severability that i know of at all. >> so you have no thoughts on the subject? >> well, it's a case that's on the court's docket and the canons of judicial conduct prohibit me from expressing a view.

i think this is an interesting thing, and perhaps jeffrey or joan has insight. republicans all day long have been saying the court should not legislate. she basically reiterated that idea today, but what we face with this affordable care act case that will come before the court in november is a case in which congress did legislate and the federal government now wants to invalidate that law. so i do think it raises some questions and i think it would be borne out later this week how it policymaking legislate to the legislature applies specifically to the affordable care act. i think that will be the question of the week. >> i'm just laughing, because abby is so exactly right on that point. you heard this over and over again from the republican senators, is that, you know, the courts, the supreme courts should let legislators legislate, not try to solve society's problems. that we should be the ones to do health care, but what are we doing in the affordable care act case? they are demanding the supreme court of the united states throw the whole thing out, with no

>>born and raised in the city by the bay jeffrey larry also took his last breath in san francisco. >>we don't know just that he was hit his motorcycle was in the middle of an intersection and his body was about 60 something feet away. >>the 42 year-old was riding his motorcycle at hays street and the sonic a driver struck him and took off at around 04:00am october 14th, a neighbor nearby saw emergency lights and came down to the chaotic scene that has haunted her ever sense. what stuck with me. and i think about it every day. >>and the more that time goes by the u.s. at are. and more upset again. both about what happened but also the loss. >>jeff's family so far there are no known witnesses who might have seen the hit and run driver, so police have no description of who to look out for i want people imagine that this was their family member that this was there sun kuz and brother nephew just imagine it being your family member left on the streets of guy you want someone to come forward the father of 2 leaves behind a 22 year-old daughter and 7 year-old son, anyone with information

leon blackn is, did or apollo wire jeffrey epstein $50 million, and if so, for what reason? that is the kind of thing that freaks investors out, because it seems unlikely that jeffrey epstein would have offered apollo or black $15 million worth of services. dani: yeah, exactly. again, we do not know the nature of the $50 million, bud black himself has been really adamant, and apollo, for their part, that this is between leon black and epstein. this has really turned from a reputational issue for leon black to a financial issue from apollo. they have had two pension funds, a connecticut and a pennsylvania one, saying they will not connect new money to. apollo. they are not withdrawing money they have, they are just not adding new money. an edge another company says it may stop recommending apollo. even though we do not have the details of exactly what happened here, there's a lot of politics they have to deal with, and it does not look great to be involved in a firm whose relationship with jeffrey epstein is perhaps questionable. again, we do not know that by any means for su

. >> joining me now is cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin, thank you so much for being with us. >> good to be here. >> so republican senator mike lee says he will decide monday morning if he will attend amy coney barrett's hearing after testing positive for covid-19 last week, along with senator thom tillis. it is of course key that both are present to make up a quorum for the crucial vote thursday for barrett to advance this nomination for approval before the election. where do you see all of this going? >> the republicans have decided that they are on a mission to confirm amy coney barrett to the supreme court before the election and it seems likely that they have the votes to do it, but this is really a surreal event because this committee hearing is really a matter of these senators risking their lives. you have two senators as you pointed out who were very recently diagnosed with covid. you have two republican senators, the chairman, lindsay graham and the senator grassley from iowa who refuse to take covid tests and several senators, including grassley, pat leahy of vermont,

very good time and don't forget the cocktails. >> so my wife wants to have a cocktail with you and jeffrey. what do you say we do it over zoom? >> we can do that. >> what about a cosmo? >> a regular sized one. >> are you ready for a cosmo. >> cheers to you. >> cheers, guys. >> christine made the delicious pasta out of the new cookbook. >> did you? >> i felt like ina for the day. >> i hear he proposed to you in 6th grade. >> in that classroom. not in 6th grade. many years later. >> i would have done it in 6th grade, but i was worried about the answer i'd get. >> that's very different from us because jeffrey still hasn't proposed to me. he just told me when we were getting married. >> well, you know, this is the first time for i don't know how many years. >> 40 years. >> in 40 years that i do. i always thought that was going to be great. >> breakfast, lunch and dinner. and you know what, it is amazing. i think somebody said good marriages have gotten better during the pandemic and bad marriages have gotten worse. >> thank you for letting us into your house. we love you guys. we somewhehave s
