coffee. >> see? making dating great again. it's not as easy as you think. >> it's tough to do. that's it for us. we'll see you back here at 10:00 eastern for an hour of news room. i'm may keel smerconish. who's this guy kidding? of course it's him. >> where did you come from? >> i was basically work for different firms. i work for a couple of different firms and i'm somebody that knows and i think somebody that crosses the line. >> here with me today, the people magazine reporter who interviewed this guy in 1991 calling himself john miller. she's got an amazing theory as to why this tape suddenly surfaced. and the only thing stranger than

the presumptive republican nominee pretending to be his own publicist when talking to a reporter on a recorded phone call is his refusal to fess up. >> it was not me on the phone. it was not me on the phone and it doesn't sound like me on the phone, i will tell you that, and it was not me on the phone. >> so how do our allies view a potential trump candidacy? i'll ask richard clark who served as counter terrorism to both the democratic and republican president. plus, anti gay marriage amendments much helped karl row fire up the conservative base and get voters to the polls. will this year's defining issue be transgender bathrooms? but first, i wonder what paul ryan and other reluctant republicans are thinking about donald trump today. the week began triumphantly for trump having vanquished all of his republican opponents trump began a trip to washington to

have a meeting with the house speaker who's not only the republican leader but also embodies those within the gop who still has reservations about the billionaire businessman. the meeting was both substantive and symbolic. by all accounts it went well. when it ended ryan was closer to an endorsement of trump. just as dan quayle was coming aboard. even lindsay graham was softening his tone. trump's former butler was caught making statements about obama which trump disavowed. but trump was confronted with a voice from his past, his own. speaking with a reporter seeking information about trump's love life, he posed as a pr executive named john miller without masking the intonation and word choice that we've come to know from the mogul. it includes brags about how prominent women including madonna were all pursuing trump. the only thing stranger than his

phony phone call was his defiance of all of our ears when he said it wasn't him. and finally when the first presidential candidate in 40 years to not release tax returns was asked about his tax bracket he got all snippy and said it was none of our business. so the weekends with 177 days left until election and those republicans who were warming to trump with renewed buyer's remars about his candidacy and concerns over what else is to come, not that trump's core constituency will care about what the campaign has called a low attack from the media, but you have to wonder how any of this is going to grow that base. then again even back in 1991, john miller said bad press never hurts trump. >> i've never seen somebody that's immune to, you know, some people would say he got bad press three or four months ago. now he's starting to get good press. i don't know what you call this,

but i've never seen somebody so immune to -- he actually thrived on the bad press initially. >> joining me now is sue carswell, the reporter who gave the interview. did you release this tape? >> no. >> did you have the tape? i mean, how did it get into play? >> all right. two people had the tape. i had the tape and trump had a tape and i don't have the tape. >> how do you think it got into play? >> well it didn't get to the washington post through me. >> so? >> trump. >> you think trump dropped this tape? >> why would he do that? >> look what's going on this week. the butler did it, paul ryan and now trump seems to like to pull people magazine stories into the array. >> so here's your thought. it's a continuation of what john miller told you back in 1991, that there's no such thing as bad publicity, so trump now getting banged over the taxes,

the butler comes out and says outrageous things about president obama, he figures you know what? a little diversion here is in order? >> yeah, but what's so weird, 25 years and all of a sudden this comes forward. there's no reason for it to come forward at all. >> this is water gate going on right now, michael. >> there are some who are watching and i think everybody's transfixed by it, but some who say who cares? >> who cares? i mean, he's running for president. it's all about the character of a president and you know, whether he should be in the oval office being able to, you know, run this country and -- and is he going to still be punking us when he's president? >> let's go back to what happened. it's 1991, you're with "people" magazine. you call trump's office and what happens? >> i called his office and asked to speak with trump about the tabloid head lines that he had dumped marla for carla, and i got a call back from a spokes

american who claimed he was john miller and who sounded -- and i said you sound just like trump. it's remarkable that he was able to, you know, hire a publicist that sounded just like him, and he said well, you know, i just come from places. he wasn't very specific. and i had my list of questions so i just went on with them. >> but your antenna were immediately raised? >> i was like this is uncanny. >> so we talked and i made it go a little longer and i got the phone and i walked down the halls and said this is trump. this is trump. and then we get a call and got three confirmations and we called cindy adams and then i called marla who just cried when i played the tape for her. >> she was the girlfriend? >> she had a so-called engagement ring she had thought. >> what is it that so upset her? >> so upset her about -- >> marla. when you played the tape why was

she so upset to hear it. >> so hear that he was dating everybody in the world except for her. >> including perhaps madonna in combat boots? i mean, it's got all the elements. and so when you write the story, to your credit you say trump says good-bye marla, hello carla and a mysterious pr man who sounds just like donald. so you outed him at the time. >> yes. >> did he then fess up? >> two weeks later. >> he did? >> he apologized to the magazine and he said i'm sorry. and he said he had disturbed -- you know, this had disturbed marla greatly. >> let me put on the screen what people magazine published at the time. quote, the john miller fiasco, he called, he trump called a joke gone awry. so explain to me why you think if he admitted it at the time he's on the today show yesterday saying that wasn't me. it doesn't even sound like me. >> this is a guy who gets up at like 4:00 in the morning.

he should have been more with it -- >> you think he was caught offguard? >> i think he was caught offguard, but then again as i said, i didn't release the tape. i believe he did. >> just to distract our attention from all the other things that have now been published about him? >> yes. yes. >> you know that some people -- well, there's another aspect of this story. so you write the followup, but you had an interaction with him before you wrote the followup. >>. >> i had interaction with him after the followup. about a month after the followup story. >> tell us about that. >> right after the followup story i won't out on the town with him and marla and another editor and we went to the hottest nightclub at that time. i don't remember the name, and you know, we rode around the town in his stretch limb mo seen and we did small talk in the limo and it was like from

albany, the best city. where did you go to school? university of vermont. everything was just great and wonderful. >> was this an apology? >> yes. >> already people magazine had said he'd apologized for the -- >> yes, there was no reason for me to be going out with trump and marla -- >> other than to make it up to you. >> right. >> he's not a guy who goes out. >> did you make phony phone calls when you were a kid? did you ever call the drugstore and say do you have prince albert in a can? you better let him out or he'll suffocate? you probably weren't a parent of three and running for the president of the united states. >> correct. >> when a trump spokes person comes on next and says to me you should be talking about hillary's e-mails, my response should be what? why am i talking about this and not that? >> what do you mean? >> well, is this overblown? >> this story now? >> no, i don't think so. it says a lot about trump. >> what does it say about him?

>> i think we should be concerned about his judgment and the fact that he could pull things like this in the future. i mean, who's to say that he won't pull another one? i don't think hee going to use john miller, but he could do that in the future. he could do this -- >> if i can show you, it's not just "people" magazine that i'll take your word he was punking. he used john miller with you, but look at this. this is now a john barren quote in the new york times april 6th, 1980. the merit of the stones was not great enough to justify the effort to save them. so it's not just you. it wasn't a one-off is my point. he was apparently playing this game with all of the media including the washington post and the new york fintimes and w able to pull off one on them as well. >> we're all in the same club. >> thank you for being here. are we ready for a president who calls up a bar and says will you

please page seymour butts? look, john miller is already tweeting at me all over this issue. i know where my next guest stands. she regularly defends donald trump. the political editor of right alerts.com. i'm going to beat you to the punch. i might be talking about hillary's e-mail today if only donald trump had gone on the "today" show yesterday and said of course it's me. why didn't he say that. >> of course you would be talking about hillary clinton's e-mail today but this is what we're choosing to talk about today and yes, mr. trump yesterday did not help the situation by saying yes or no. so we're going to continue the conversation and let's do it. i do have to talk about some something that sue said. a little fact that a red flag went up. when she said she had the tape

and mr. trump had the tape and yet she turned around and called others and played that tape. who's to know those folks. did this publicist whoever this man is if he exists maybe he's the one that released the tape. >> wait a minute. wait a minute. stop the clock. you just said if this publicist exists. i should have said at the outset of the program that i have invited to be here today both john miller and john barren, preferably seated on set at the same time together, wouldn't that be interesting and we didn't get any reply from donald trump's office. he would have produced them by now. we're not going to go there, are we? >> it's kind of ludicrous at this thought that he's the one that released this. i mean, the fact is this came out in the "washington post" the next day after they were going to assign 20 reporters to go in there and comb through every bit of piece of donald trump's history and the next morning they come out with this. this is one of many long strings

i think articles like the "washington post" are going to put out to distract from the real issues that we should be talking about in this campaign. but more power to go after mr. trump maybe for reasons because he owns amazon.com and mr. trump has not been discrete in saying he might have some tax issues or some anti trust issues down the road. i mean, this is all about keeping your own pocket, making sure your own pocket is protected and not necessarily for what's best for the american public and what the american people want. >> isn't it all about credibility? i played these games but i was 12 and 13 at the time. he's a 44-year-old man and he's not just opening up the phone book and pranking people. he's calling and misrepresenting hums and here's what troubles me the most about it. it makes me wonder if he did it in more serious circumstances like okay, he's in a nasty divorce or whatever was going on in his domestic world. doesn't it raise concern in your

mind that in a more serious posture he could have misrepresented himself on the phone? >> you're still assuming -- you're still saying he did it. here's what i've noticed over the last 24 hours. >> how could you say he's not doing it? did you hear the tape. >> if you are sitting there and you are pro mr. trump you say it's not him. if you are against mr. trump you say it is him. it hasn't changed anybody's mind. and you pointed that out in your own monologue. this has not changed anybody's mind. the question is is whether we're going to have to focus on these kind of stories if it takes us off the unifying meeting with the republican members that endorse mr. trump yesterday or all the issues with the clinton campaign, are we going to focus on petty little issues like this and yes, you may have the idea that possibly he may have misrepresented himself on a more serious issue. i'm going to take mr. trump for what he said. this is not him and until he comes out or you can stake your life on it and prove that he is

lying i have no other reason not to believe him. >> final quick question for you. perhaps you heard me say i wonder what paul ryan is thinking today. this has got to give paul ryan and others buyer's remorse just as the party seems to be colessing around trump, don't you think? >> absolutely not. this right here speaks why mr. trump is number one. this is a news outlet purposely targeting mr. trump, not hiding it, not being afraid to sit there and say it. four of their five trending stories this morning are anti trump stories. this just feeds into the idea that the establishment media despises mr. trump, hence why they are so scared of him getting into power. >> thank you so much for being here. >> thank you, michael. what might cause a 44-year-old father of three to imperson nate his publicist? my next guest wrote the book anatomy of a secret life. welcome back to the program.

where in the dsm do i turn to find this? >> let me first say i cannot diagnose donald trump. i don't know donald trump but i would say that someone who spends time creating a very grandiose view of themselves, you know, i'm the best in business, i'm sexually the best, all the women want me, and will break the rules, lie, do something unethical for the purpose of that, it certainly makes you think about intense narcissism. everything has to refer to me, and i have to be the best. >> what might that say, if anything, about his judgment as, say, a commander in chief? i mean, would it worry you to know that those characteristics are a part of him? >> it depends. interestingly, if you look at past presidents, great presidents, presidents ranked as the greatest, being grandiose or being very, very confident and believing in your skills actually correlates with

greatness. however when it moved into being incredibly self-centered, no empathy, everything has to refer to me, i always have to be at the center and has to be about me, that did not correlate with greatness. so the question is, where does it fall out there tells you a lot about what would make a great leader, let's say. >> but if john miller and john barren don't exist and are donald trump, it makes me think of the statement that he's offered so often in this campaign where he says he'll surround himself with good people, perhaps his idea of good people are mr.s barren and miller saying there's nobody, listen to this, this is my armchair psychiatrist point, there's nobody i can surround myself with because i'm the man, i'm not yielding to anybody's judgment. i'm going to rely on barren and miller? >> well, if that was the case that would be a problem in that flexibility of thought and ability to take in new data and have flexible movement about your thought is important to great leadership. it really is.

so that would be concerning. but i will tell you this. the american people right now, i think are very conflicted about whether they want a leader who is really a good guy, who always tells the truth, who wears the white hat, if they're going to send them out to deal with the putins and the people that we think maybe aren't so on the up and up, do break the rules, aren't so moral. i think people are really conflicted about whether they want a good leader. >> maybe they say putin is a mischievous guy. maybe we need a little bit of that arsenal. final question for you. what does it say about his core constituency if i'm right that they won't give a damn about this? >> if you're vastly conservative, you hear everything through that prism. if you're vastly liberal you hear everything through that prism and very few people are open to hearing new information and have it change their mind. >> i believe that and it's a

very sad comment about where this race stands. >> that is the human brain. >> this is all part of a liberal hit job the minute that our segment ends, they'll be saying. thank you for being here. what a mega rich topic. keep those tweets coming and coming up, richard clark served both democratic and republican presidents as the counter terrorism czar. would he do the same for donald trump? and the obama administration still hasn't released 28 pages from a congressional inquiry into 9/11 that implicates saudi arabia. are we any closer to seeing those pages? senator bob graham is here. here's what one of you thought about my conversation about donald trump. >> what's it like to be in good hands? like finding new ways

to be taken care of. home, car, life insurance obviously, ohhh... but with added touches you can't get everywhere else, like claim free rewards... or safe driving bonus checks. even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee! in means protection plus unique extras only from an expert allstate agent. it's good to be in, good hands. i'm terhe is.at golf. people say i'm getting better. no one's ever said that. but i'd like to keep being terrible at golf for as long as i can. he's just happier when he's playing. but he's terrible. for the strength and energy to keep doing what you love, try new ensure enlive. only patented ensure enlive has hmb, plus 20 grams of protein to help rebuild muscle. and its clinically proven formula helps you stay you.

oh. nice shot. new ensure enlive. always be you. wrely on the us postal service? because when they ship with us, their business becomes our business. that's why we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. here, there, everywhere.

united states postal service priority: you it was all pencil and paper. started out, the surface pro is very intuitive. with the pressure of my hand i can draw lightly, just like i would with a real pencil. i've been a forensic artist for over 30 years. i do the composite sketches which are the bad guy sketches. you need good resolution, powerful processor because the computer has to start thinking as fast as my brain does. i do this because i want my artwork to help people.

environment in 9/11. the classified 28 pages of a congressional investigatory report into the attacks do contain evidence that as many as six saudi officials supported al qaeda in the runup to the attacks. cia director doesn't want those pages released. here's brenen on meet the press earlier this month. >> i think some people may seize upon that uncorroborated, unveted information was in there that was basically just a colation of this information that came out of fbi files and to point to saudi involvement which i think would be very, very inaccurate. >> bob graham is the former chair of the senate intelligence committee. he's long advocated the release of the 28 pages. joining me now is senator bob graham. when i heard him say that i was thinking of jack nicholson saying you can't handle the truth. is that the point he's trying to

make? >> i guess that's the point he's trying to make. i think he has added another explanation for why we've gone 13 years without this being made available to the american people, that the american people aren't smart enough to understand. i frankly think that the reasons primarily have to do with our -- the effect that this may have on our relationship with saudi arabia and some of the intelligence agencies's competence. >> you said release of the 28 pages might shed light on some outstanding questions including this. should we believe that the 19 hijackers most of whom spoke limited english had limited education, had never before visited the united states, acted alone in perpetuating the sophisticated 9/11 plot. do you believe they did not act alone? >> of course not. and no one who has studied this case closely thinks it's

plausible that these 19 people who had all the characteristics you've just read could have completed the planning, gone through the practicing, executed the plot and over an extended period of time in the case of some, a year and a half, were able to maintain their anonymity while they were in the united states. we haven't assumed that in paris, in brussels or in san bernardino. some of the first questions after the tragedies occurred was who helped these people do it. >> if the 28 pages are released next month, and there are unanswered questions and perhaps a cry from the american people, what should happen next? >> well, i've advocated for many years that we need to reopen the 9/11 inquiry. there's much more information available today than there was in 2002. we would be at a much better position to write the final chapters of what happened on

9/11 today than we were 13 or 14 years ago. >> i'm optimistic that next month we're going to see those 28 pages. then i can have senator graham come back and explain them to the american people right on this program. >> great. thank you, michael. i look forward to it. >> for more on the missing 28 pages i want to bring in richard clark. he was the counter terrorism czar, the paper back of his most recent novel, pinnacle event just came out and he joins me now. so should we see the american people? should we see those pages? >> absolutely. i believe in transparency and rumors and conspiracy theories thrive when there are things that are with held. so put them out. but put them out with an accompanying text that provides context and explanation. and says for this allegation, we found the following. and say what the information is. >> mr. clark, on september 11 you were the guy. you were the counter terrorism

czar on september 11. have you given thought to the way in which a president donald trump would have reacted that day? >> i have. it's a little disturbing. when something like this happens you have to have trained experienced people at the helm. you can't be making decisions on the fly. those of us who ran the crisis that day had trained to do it. we had had simulations and exercises for years, training for this kind of possibility. and we had the vice president running things in the other wing of the white house who had been the secretary of defense, and prior to that had been a chief of staff of the white house. we had experienced hands all around the government. and frankly, all the experienced hands that i know in washington say they won't work for donald trump. so i don't know who he's going to get. himself with good people. - if he were to call richard clark and say i'd like the benefit of

your counsel would you respond to that call? >> yeah, i would say hell no. >> you wouldn't want to provide any advice to donald trump. >> i don't think it would do any good. i think it would go in one ear and out the other. i think in a crisis he would respond impulsively. i don't think he'll be able to get good people to surround himself with. >> we here there is angst among allies. what do you hear? >> that's putting it mildly. most of the allies are frightened, very frightened at the prospect. because there's one thing the president can do. you know, he doesn't have to go to congress or she doesn't have to go to congress to get permission to u.s. the military and the u.s. intelligence apparatus. they can pick up the phone and issue orders and there's very little buffer. so you need someone who is experienced, someone who is

restrained, someone who understands national security. >> what is it that you think he least understands and appreciates? >> i think the use of force. and the ramifications of the use of force. he's talking about it's okay if japan and south korea get n nuclear weapons, no it's not. we've been trying for 50 years to prevent that. that would possibly lead to war that would suck the united states in because we have forces in both south korea and in japan. >> final question with regard to donald trump. is there a vice presidential selection that he could make that would mitigate the concerns of richard clark and if so, who? >> well, i don't think anybody who is experienced in this business will serve with him. there's already been a long list of republican national security people, people who served in the bush administration and the reagan administration who say they won't -- they won't serve in his administration, they won't advise him.

i don't know of anybody among my old republican friends who would be willing to do it. >> pinnacle event has just come out in paperback. why have you again turned to fiction to make very serious points? >> well, "pinnacle event" is about the 2016 election. it raises the question, what would happen if the u.s. government became aware during the election campaign of a terrorist plot? and what if that terrorist plot might involve nuclear weapons? i think it's far easier to explain these issues frankly, michael, in fiction than it is in dry prose. >> if you had written about this current campaign and put it in your novel, your publicist, your publisher, your agent would have said you know, it's a little too farfetched. >> i wouldn't have got it published. i started writing this a few years ago. i know they would have laughed if i submitted a plot with

somebody like donald trump running for president. >> best of luck with the book. still to come, the justice department has now weighed in on the hot button issue this election cycle. access to bathrooms for transgender people, why is this so contentious? here's one of your tweets. oh, my, you people are disgusting. you'll do anything to bring down a good man. let me say something to this individual. you give me a tape 20 years old of hillary clinton or bernie sanders misrepresenting themselves, i'll play it. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have.

the obama administration has

sent out a directive to every public school in the country to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms that match their transgender identity. while not the same as a law, the directive implies that noncompliant schools could face lawsuits or a loss of federal aid as is happening with the state of north carolina. how will this impact the evolving landscape for gays for lesbians, bisexual and transgender people and will it create pushback? joining me now who covered the o.j. simpson case, reporter zoe tour. >> when did you first begin using the lady's room? >> it was transitioning. it was after two major surgeries. sexual reassignment surgery and facial surgery and i couldn't go back so that's when i felt comfortable using a woman's only space. >> have you ever had any incident -- i'm hearing many

people say this is a solution in search of a problem meaning that nobody apart from the transgendered community, there's not been any violence or victimization of a physical kind associated with this. >> no, there hasn't. what you're really -- to put it in perspective, never have so many cared so much about so few for so little. i mean, we're literally talking about -- i mean, there's 64 million k-12 students in the united states and we're talking maybe about a few hundred cases of transgender students wanting to use a rest room that doesn't necessarily correspond with their birth gender. i mean, this is ridiculous. and to subject -- like governor mccrory really reaching into the pockets of taxpayers so he can feed his egowith this bill, you know, he's -- it's a disservice to the students of his state

that might lose, you know, title 9 money. so it makes no sense. >> do you worry this will become a cultural wedge issue for 2016? >> it already has. what we're seeing is the blowback from gay marriage. we're now being subjected to jim crowe style laws. remember the 45th governor of alabama, where you know, he -- they made claims that black men would enter, you know, women's rest rooms, and rape them, you know, and those claims were made and now they're making it against people like me and there's no documented case. i've searched and you're more likely to have a problem, you know, with a priest. >> what occurs to me and i know that you pay close attention to the political situation is that to the extent it becomes a

cultural wedge issue, it won't have the support, i think, of donald trump who said recently that caitlyn jenner could come to trump tower and use whatever rest room she chooses. >> it's not something he cares about. and aapplaud him for that. it's one of the few things i have to agree on. it's really a nonissue and it's all men complaining. it's not women. and it's the ultimate where men feel like they have to protect women from women. let women deal with their own issues. women don't seem to have an issue. >> i have solved this prab #stalls for all. what happens in a circumstance, i read from a directive of the administration. what happens in a circumstance where there's not parental support of the transgendered youth. so mom and dad are not cool with this, but the boy or the girl

wishes for this to take place in the school. have you thought about that? >> well, i would -- i would imagine in many cases, parents will not be cool with the idea of their child transitioning, unless it's been something that's been going on for, you know, since they were age six, but you know, at the end of the day, it really is going to be up to the student, and i think they'll get title 9 support because there's supreme court decisions on this going back to title 9 cases back to -- to groves college so these things have already been litigated and i think -- and i -- why did north carolina bother to research federal law? this is -- i mean, they're going to lose. >> thanks for being here. >> of course. >> coming up next, how these famous raised fists of the 1968 olympics relate to the raised

fists that got these west point cadets in trouble and more of your tweets.

get organized at voya.com. 16 west point ka deads got in trouble for raising their fists. they were posing for this picture, an old corps photograph, it's a west point tradition. seniors imitating these early 19th century cadets. but because of the fists some assume it was done to show sympathy with black lives matter. did it violate political partisan activity. they determined it was spur of the moment and not a preplanned political statement. the cadets will graduate on time but must first receive counseling. this reminded me of a clenched fist that made headlines around the world because everybody thought it was a black power salute. in mexico city after john carlos and tommy smith won the bronze and cold medals in the 200 meter

race, carlos had said their gesture was widely misinterpreted as a black power salute. 48 years later the debate continues and who better to ask than the man who so famously raised his fist back in '68. john carlos joins me now and is looking pretty good. as you've watched this unfold, what have you been thinking? >> well, first of all, i was thinking that those youngly days are correct in their activities that particular day. i think they were ex- pounding upon the fact that right on, we made it. we made it. in terms of having some pride in what they've accomplished. having some unity relative to what they accomplished and at the same time being able to expose their history relative to black people coming together to try to make it a better society for all people, blacks in particular. >> so did you read race into it? because if you took away that connotation of black history maybe there was a racial

implication intended. >> well, the racial implication is you being a black person and knowing all the atrocities that you might have had to deal with through your history. you cannot deny the history of a black person. you cannot deny their right to be proud of what they've accomplished from where they have come from. so you know, it's a race is always going to be involved. but in terms of them having pride in themselves, accomplishing the goal, you know, how often do you see that many black women going through west point, the greatest academy here in the united states for the military? >> how would you feel hypothetically if it was a different graduating class after cadets, all white cadets and for their picture they always put on those donald trump make america great again hats. >> they have the right to do that if that's their choice. just like i have the right to wear a mall come x hat walking up and down the street. they have a right to the political opinions who they favor to vote or who they don't

favor to vote. but if they had a rebel flag up there and they say that's history, my job is to say that's a history that you should be ashamed of. >>nd a i guess my perspective is i don't think there should be any politics blended with a celebratory moment like this. on their own time if they were having a party thereafter and everybody wanted to do whatever they wanted to do with a political significance, no problem, but when you're if law enforcement, when you're a firefighter, an emt or a cadet i think it's important to leave politics out of it. that's my take on it but i'll give you the final word. >> politics is intertwined with athletics and society no matter how you cut it. politics are involved and people are going to be concerned about making the statement at the right particular time. you know, they said no politics should be involved in the olympics, but the olympics is politics in itself. so how can you walk away what you're involved in politics run throughout this society. that's what's got the election so crazy right now relative to

racial statements made along the way, the political cross in the road into race relations. you can't separate the two of them. >> final question. how are you doing in the 200 meters today? >> well, if i get a head start in my car today i think i can beat you to the finish line. >> you wouldn't need the car for me, john carlos. thank you so much for being on the program. >> still to come, he can handle me, believe me, hopping along with one leg. coming up, your best and worst tweets like this one. john miller, white house press secretary, robert barron, chief of staff. he's going to surround himself with good people like himself. if you have allergy congestion muddling through your morning is nothing new.
