michael smerconish in philadelphia. we welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. cnn exclusive special prosecutor robert mueller has grand jury approval of his first charges in the russian meddle investigation. so what come next? and the divided gop has driven senators and congressmen to announce they would rather quit than fight. find out why i think they should all run. as innocents.

as independents. plus, many jfk files dropped this week and the president has promised almost everything else will be released. i'll discuss it with alex zapruder. and the president keeps calling opioids a national emergency, but not providing any new funding. what's the solution? the man who won a record settlement against big tobacco says it's time to sue big pharma. and his rebuke of donald trump at the 2016 democratic convention riveted america. kieser khan, father of a gold star soldier killed in iraq is here. but first, the announcement of mueller's first charges is the ninth major news story in a head spinning week. but was the spinning because people knew the charges were coming? let me recap. one, republicans in the house said they will investigate the 2010 sale of a stake in american

uranium to a state-owned russian company. two, separately, gop members will look at the fbi's handling of hillary clinton's e-mail. three, for his part, the president has asked the state department to speed up its release of any remaining hillary clinton e-mails. four, the white house also pushed that a gag order on an fbi informant pertaining to the uranium one deal be lifted. five, we also learned that the dataen analytics firm relied upon by the trump campaign reached out to wikileaks founder julian assange in the hopes of getting the 30,000 deleted clinton e-mails. six, it the turns out the infamous dossier compiled by british spy christopher steele was partially paid for by the clinton campaign and the dnc. seven, we now know the original

client who hired gps was first supportive of marco rubio he. eight, the russian lawyer who attended that first june 2016 meeting with paul manafort, don jr. and jared kushner was, woulding for her russian general. now, nine, as soon as monday, someone might be taken into custody for the probe relate to go special counsel robert mueller. we don't know who and we don't know why. this will begin a new chapter of mueller eps a probe. and this last story makes me wonder if there was a relationship to the others that i mentioned. grand jury proceedings and indictments like this are sealed. and maybe it's not the government that leaked the news. the revelation might have come from the defense. and if so, it begs the question of whether others knew this was coming and wanted to get ahead

of the story by muddying the waters with other seemingly contradictory narratives as part of a deliberative strategy. these are complicated stories and i say be leary of anyone trying to reduce them. to sound bite size. here with more insight, r he nato mariotti. the top of the list, everyone wants to know, who rewith talking with about? >> with well, if i had to guess, my guess would be paul manafort because we have heard, obviously, news that he had been told that he was going to be endieted and i believe one of his own representatives at one point confirmed that. so that would be the obvious person that we should be thinking about. michael flynn is another possibility. but we really don't know. that is informed speculation. i think, you know, it certainly is unlikely that, you know,

mueller is going to have a series of indictments against a whole slew of people, but i guess anything is possible at this point. we don't know for sure. >> whoever the individual is or individuals might be, do they know at this moment do they know that monday is their the day of reckoning? i ask for a particular reason tied to the commentary that i just offered because i'm wondering if everything we've just seen this week is part of a defense strategy. >> well, what i'll tell you is what would ordinary areally be the case. typically, you would talk to the defense attorney in advance. he would hear whatever arguments they had regarding where their clients shouldn't be charged. and ultimately, you would tell them in advance, you know, we have an indictment against your client. the initial appearance of your client in court is scheduled for a particular date.

would you please have your client in court on that date. so there is not even a need for an arrest. if you have a defense counsel, typically you can arrange that and save everyone the time and the effort. if highways the case, then, you know, i guess that would be the ordinary course, then they certainly know. >> what must the grand jurors believe in lay terms in order to get us to this next step? >> so what the grand jurors have to believe is that there's a good reason to believe that a crime has been committed by that particular person. and so, for example, let's just say we're talking about paul manafort and he's being charged with a disclosure violation, you know, making false disclosure. the grand jury would have to believe that there's a good reason to believe based on the evidence that has been presented to them that paul manafort committed that particular crime,

that he had a false disclosure. now, know that that is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. but obviously bob mueller and his team have to believe that they have sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they have enough proof to bring the indictment. >> and your reference to a disclosure issue, and all hypothetically stated because we don't know. we don't know who it might be. we don't know what the charges might be. but it underscores another point that i wanted to make, which is that this might be relative to the mueller probe of meddling, but whatever the charges that are brought on monday themselves might be ancillary, right? this might not relate to the russian meddle per se. >> that is absolutely right. if i was going to make an educated guess about what the

state of the investigation is based upon all that we know publicly, i would say that we're not going to get all of the charges against everyone in the case. usually that comes at the very end of the investigation. and everything we've seen suggests that the investigation is ongoing. i mean, mueller has continued to interview white house officials. he's done so recently. so what i expect this is a set of indictments against one or two people. and the effort is to flip them. in other words, to get them to cooperate with the investigation so that mueller can obtain additional evidence that he can use to charge other individuals. if that is the case -- >> renato, i was simply going to thank you for your time. finish your thought. i didn't mean to cut you off. >> oh, no problem. if this is -- if that's correct, then we will see a lot more in the future. >> re nato, thank you as always. >> thank you very much.

>> what are your thoughts? tweet me or go to my facebook page. i'll read some throughout the course of the program. first tweet, here t. trump seems to have managed to up end the mueller investigation and make it about a failed presidential candidate and a 7-year-old sale. christine, the point that i was trying to make is that we live in interesting times. it's hard to be conversant in everything going on in this news cycle, but this week the in particular those nine headlines, all legitimate headlines that i shared with you, it's a bit much, even for this president's watch. and i'm wondering whether or not today's news was not a surprise to some among us and whether they wanted to get ahead of the news with all the headlines that i summarized. one from facebook if i was tike quickly. michael is right. we want to bury a story, release it on friday afternoon and talk about it on saturday when no one pays attention and it's old news by monday. maybe i should resent that remark, michael, as host of a saturday program.

i don't think there's anything left of the idea that friday has to be the day for a document dump because, frankly, we're not reliant upon printed versions of newspapers, which is where that all arises. every day is a hot news cycle. up ahead, on november 22nd, 1963, the dallas dressmaker named abraham zabruder made the most famous home movie in american history. i'm about to talk to his grand tower about that fateful day and this release of classified jfk files. i'm craving something we're missing. the ceramides in cerave. they help restore my natural barrier, so i can lock in moisture and keep us protected. we've got to have each other's backs and fronts. cerave. what your skin craves.

and fronts. a heart transplant... that's a whole different ballgame. i was in shock. i am very proud of the development of drugs that can prevent the rejection and prevent the recurrence of the original disease. i never felt i was going to die. we know so much about transplantation. and we're living longer. you cannot help but be inspired by the opportunities that a transplant would offer. my donor's mom says "you were meant to carry his story". you or joints. something for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

i kept looking for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i was doing okay. then it hit me... managing was all i was doing. when i told my doctor, i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease even after trying other medications. in clinical studies, the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. just managing your symptoms? ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

this week, the government released nearly 3,000 previously classified filed files relating to the kennedy assassination in 1963. as mandated by a 25-year-old law. though it also delayed the release of many others due to concerns expressed by the fbi and the cia. among the new revelations, the cia considered mafia hits on cuban president fidel castro, the fbi testified received threats to lee harvey oswald a day before his murder.

on november 22nd, 1963, dress manufacturer abraham zapruder used his 8 mill meet erts camera to film the kennedy motorcade as it passed through deally, texas. those 26 seconds of footage were an important part of the warrant commission hearings and all subsequent investigations and are among the most analyzed pieces of film in our history. zapruder's granddaughter, alexandra, investigated her family's role in that footage and published a book. 26 seconds, a personal history of the zapruder film. alexandra, tell me about your grandfather. why was he in the plaza that day? >> i was there because he loved the president. he was a russian immigrant who came to this country at age 15 in 1920 and made good, like so many others did. and he was an absolutely devoted fan of president kennedy and, of course, he was also a home movie enthusiast. so he had a new camera.

and his office was adjacent to dealey plaza so he went there to make a home movie like he had been doing 30 years before that. >> he was not the only photographer in dealey plaza that day. what made him so remarkable in part is that he was able to stay so steady. >> uh-huh. you know, he himself said that he could never account for that. he just didn't know how he did it. he said he felt that maybe he froze a little bit when he saw the events unfolding. but i think it was one of those moments when someone just -- he rose to the occasion and all of the, you know, strength that he had in him kind of came to the fore. there's just no accounting for it, but i suppose it's a good thing for history that he did. >> with the assistance of the secret service and kodak, he developed the film that very day. and then, this is remarkable to me, takes home the original

movie. >> yes, that's right. >> and shows it to your grandmother and i think your uncle, as well. >> my uncle. my aunt refused to watch it. she was so completely distraught. it's something that i addressed in the book so many times. this is such an indication of the times. the secret service was with my grandfather within an hour of the assassination. they didn't take his camera. they didn't take the film. they sent him off to have it developed. they went with him for a period of time and went back to deal with oswald. and by the end of the day, he dropped off two copies of the film at the secret service offices and went home with the original camera, the original film and one of the copies. and that's just something that is unthinkable, of course, today. but it was very much the -- you know, the way things were. >> ultimately, the government seized this movie. and there was a highly publicized battle, ken feinberg acted, as he so often has, as the ultimate arbitrator, a $16

million value was placed on the film to the benefit of your family. but i have to ask this. was it a blessing or a curse when all is said and done? there have been many trials and tribulations relative to your family and this movie. >> you know, i don't think i would say that it was either a blessing or a curse. i think we always viewed it as a tremendous responsibility. and something that, you know, our family, we were the possessors of a record of the kennedys teams's tragedy. and that was the important thing and that we needed to treat it always with dignity and with respect, balance the interest in the public interest in the film and the need for the american people to see this film with our own family's values. and that was a difficult, very difficult thing that my grandfather had to do and then my father had to do. but, you know, they did the best they could and i think rose to the occasion. >> alexandra, maybe nothing speaks to the universeltity of

the zapruder of the fact that there was even a parody of it on seinfeld. how did that go over in your family? >> you know, i wrote in the book that it was one of the few times that my father -- i ever saw my father laugh about anything that had to do with the zapruder film. it was a very serious and somber responsibility. but, you know, seinfeld is seinfeld and it was certainly irresistible. >> alexandra, thanks so much for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up, more and more republican lawmakers calling it quits. senators, reaps, even a red state speaker of the house. smed of giving up the fight, i want to offer a better idea.

i've got advice for the growing number of republicans who are choosing not to seek re-election. the senators like jeff flake of arizona, bob corker of tennessee have announced that they will not run next year. in the house, republicans charlie dent, illiana ross layton, pat tiberi, dave reichert. they've all similarly announced retirement. and last friday, joe said he will fought run again. what do they have in common? they're regarded as establishment republicans with, not the type aligned with this president. what an office holder should do when they can't be renominated, it's an extraordinarily difficult question. most retire. to me, no glory attaches to that. some switch parties, some stand, fight and lose in a landslide. i don't see the point in had that. all that proves is that their

party doesn't agree with them. senator flake said this week, the bottom line is if i were to run a campaign that i would be proud of and where i didn't have to cozy up to the president and his positions or his behavior, i could fought win a republican primary. well, no doubt he's right. last week, i saluted his arizona colleague, john mccain, who in a speech that i attended in philadelphia called out those who support half baked spurious nationalism. but it was not lost on me that even mccain only found his voice after his own re-election was secure. that he didn't immediately go after candidate trump when the gop presidential candidate be smished his war service was a sign that as mccain told ryan lizza at the time, he was worried about the crazies that trump had stirred up. the sway held by media provocateurs has created a situation where the fringes have

outsized influences in the primaries, but not in general elections, which raises another option. imagine if a talent pool comprised of the likes of corker, flake, dent, and democrats like etch bye and joe liebermen and independents like michael bloomberg and angus king would unite and fight as independents. the label that's preferred, by the way, by 45% of americans. you see, together we can take this debate back from the angriest voices. it's been more than a century since theodore roosevelt saluted those with the grit to get involved. saying, quotes, it's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles on where the doer of deeds could have done them better. the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marched by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again.

t.r. wasn't talking about those who retire. joining me now to discuss from the great state of indiana, evan bye. senator, thanks for being back. i want to show you something that was just posted at u.s. news that references you. carly wheelen wrote it. he said flake should leave his party, mott the senate. he should run as an independent. we are starting to see a pattern, respected senators like oh olympia snoweand evan bayh announce their retirement and announce they are leaving in large part because the senator has become hyper partisan and ineffective. how does leaving the senate help the situation? does he not have a point in which he references you? >> he does have a point, michael, and it raises the larger question what are we going to do about this? as you mentioned in your piece, just running in a primary, which senator flake was facing to almost certain defeat doesn't accomplish a whole lot. in my particular case, i probably would have won

re-election, but concluded the structure in washington created an impossible dilemma between being independent and doing what you thought was right on one hand and being effective inside the establishment in the other. and this is a longer conversation. everything is structured inside the congress these days the to reinforce party the discipline, voting down the line, even to the effect of if you're not with your party, 1% or 2% of the time, you run the risk as senator mccain pointed out of the crazies coming at you. and then practical things. you want to get a bill passed, you want to have an amendment passed, you want to make a difference, and the party leader says, no, you've been a little too independent. we're not going to let you pursue your ideas. that's the dilemma that you face. >> if those individuals that i have referenced and if evan bayh were still in the united states senate today and you would be in that mix, if they were today to change their party label, would they not be the critical caucus that nothing would move without their support and that would

then force compromise? >> possibly. but when you look at the independents and you mentioned then, angus king, bernie sandsers and the democratic side, they caucus where the democrats. when there's an independent on the republican side, they caucus with the republicans. it's because of the structural imperatives that i mentioned, if you want to be effective inside the system, it's difficult to be independent. everything forces you from one side to the other. we probably should do away with the caucus system and instead of having party lunches every week, lunch with 100% there. it's very difficult to have an independent party in our cup. we go back to the wigs being replaced by the republicans more than a hundred years ago. getting on the ballot as an independent, very difficult. in my state, it requires tens of thousands of signatures. california, millions of signatures. you get the super pacs coming in to reinforce party orthodox.

so the one name you mentioned, michael bloomberg, that gets some interest because he has the stature and the financial resources to actually establish an independent movement and fight back. but the final thing i'd say, michael, and what we really need in my opinion is more of your viewers, move of those americans to vote in those primaries so it's not just 8% or 9%. it's 40% or 50%. take back the process. moderates, independents, people who want a system that works again. and the final point i would make is reneed to get away from this notion that compromise is somehow or another a form of moral weakness. the constitution itself was written by people who profoundly disagreed about some things but got together and reconcile dollars thoed those differences. we used to think that was a sign of statesmanship, not a sign of betrayal. >> i agree with everything

you've just said, but i'd like to believe and the data supports -- in fact, put up on the screen. gallop asked americans, what party do you identify with? 45% said this summer i'm an independent. next in line was 29% with the ds and 26% with the rs. here is another one, senator. he asked americans, do we need a third party? and you get a number where roughly -- there it is. i was going to say two-thirds. 61% say yeah, we want a third party. so i get it. there's some cache in saying, i'm an independent. maybe the data is off a little bit. but my point is, a lot of folks agree with the sentiment that you've just offered and i think they're there to be harnessed. it just needs leadership. you get the quick final word. >> well, the polls certainly support that, michael, but the practical reality is running as an independent is, for structural reasons, very, very difficult. so my guess is the best path to getting to a more functional governing system is to fight this out within the two parties so that we have more moderates

and independents participating in primaries which lead to more sensible candidates. final thick i'd say is i love the fact that people consider themselves to be independent. but starting years ago, a theory arose that people say that, but you don't really mean it. there are only about 4% or 5% that are truly independent. that's what has led to this situation we have now where everyone plays to the base, no one compromises and the government needs to come to a stop. that's what we need to change and i think it's going to involve reforming the the two parties and the nominating process. >> senator bayh, thanks for being here. i appreciate it. >> always a pleasure. >> let's check in the what you're saying on my facebook and twitter pages. what do we have inspect facebook first, i think. corker and flake are not cen the trist. they are super conservative, just not crazies. >> you are right, there are more than center, but they are more independent thinking than their brethren. from twitter comes this,

smerconish, guess trump is going to find out if his people follow his brand of loyalty. well, you know, it's his republican party right now. and let me give him credit, if that's the right word. what does the data show? like 85% of republicans are comfortable, supportive with the leadership he's providing. one more if i may. love the tweets and the facebook comments. the trump era will pass. these are much more long range issues that we need to come to terms with and i happen to think -- you know this from watching me -- that a third party would be in the nation's best interest. i wish there had be a third party candidate on that debate stage in last year's election. up heir ahead, the opioid crisis has already killed as many americans as the vietnam war. the president has not committed any new funds to fight it. so the man who sued big tobacco

and won $246 billion as seen in the movie "the insider." wants to obtain the funding provided by big firearm ma. ack k non-insulin victoza® lowers a1c, and now reduces cardiovascular risk. victoza® lowers my a1c and blood sugar better than the leading branded pill.

how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. a silicon valley server farm. the vault to man's greatest wonders... selfies, cat videos and winking emojis. speaking of tech wonders, with the geico app you can get roadside assistance, digital id cards... or even file a claim. do that.. yeah, yeah that should work. it's not happening... just try again. uh, i think i found your problem. thanks. hmm... the award-winning geico app. download it today. cohigher!ad! higher! parents aren't perfect, but then they make us kraft mac & cheese

here. this touches everybody in the country, even you as in the case of your nephew. >> yeah, no question about it. it is a huge and very emergent problem, something that we need to do something about now and quit talking about it. you know, i applaud the president and the first lady for coming out and having a press conference and making this a national issue and on their agenda, but unfortunately, they didn't provide any funding for treatment or prevention programs or the like and we need that thou. there's 60,000 people a year going to die from this and, you know, let's quick talking about it. let's get dps in the room. if the federal government wants to play a role and provide billions for treatment, that's great. but the.companies ought to pay their fair share for the me the mess that they caused. >> you said essentially with regard to tobacco, they lied about addiction opinion gives me the distilled version of what you're saying about the opioid

industry. >> pretty much the same. they minimized the dangers by tellinger doctors there was a less than 1% chance of getting aticketed under these drugs. doctors should have known better. salespeople went out .told the doctors this and i guess they believeded it. the fda should have never approved some of these drugs like oxycontin for the things they approve it for. they also didn't tell the truth about the use of these drugs for treating chronic pain. really, these drugs are for short-term care, they're for people who have cancer and real severe pain. what the industry has done is dumped millions of drugs on people and we have close to 2 million people in this country who are real addicts, many of them that could die. so really it's time for a national discussion, but it's time for companies, distributors, drugstore chains and the federal government to

get into the same room and say how do we stop solving this problem? let's provide some prevention and education money to keep people from getting into this problem again. but let's do it now. or we can litigate. look, we, the attorneys general of this country, the private lawyers who are helping them, we can take these folks to task and we can bring them to their knees just like we did big toe back wrote. and we will. there's no question about it. but within that two or three had-year period of time, how many more people have to die? that's another couple hundred thousand people die. so i would rather everybody get if in the room tomorrow and try to resolve this thing. but we'll fight if we have to. >> so with regard to big tobacco, the settlement went to smoking cessation programs. what will happen to these funds if you're successful? and i'm a trial lawyer. all my cards are on the table. respond to the critics of those who do what we do for a living saying this is all about you

lining pockets of lawyers. >> i get that. there's a lot of critics out there in the world. but just look at toe back wrote. when we started the tobacco case, there were 38% of american kids that were starting to smoke. now it's down less than 35%. what we put in place worked. we've reduced a number of people who are smoking in this country. adult smoking is below 15%. it was up at 40%. so deaths from lung cancer, heart disease and the like. what we're trying to achieve here is the same thing. you've got 60,000 people dying every year. we would like to reduce that. will some lawyers make some money? maybe they will. maybe they won't. if the drug industry would get in the same room with me tomorrow and the attorneys general and sit down and work out some resolution and pay their fair share, i don't need any money from it whatsoever. what i want is a solution to the problem. and if that is what congress and the senate would do, the house of representatives and the senate and the president would get together and say we'll put this of money, side, 20, 30, $40

billion, we would be off so solve this problem. my guess is, they're going to fiddle around in washington, they're going to fiddle around in the board rooms of these countries and we'll have to take them to task. some of them will end up bankrupt. >> mike moore, thanks so much for being here. >> you think that. let's check in on your twitter action and facebook comments. i think it's another tweet that comes this way. smerconish, if big pharma is sued for addiction and then sue mcdonald's for obesity and alcoholmakers for du i. my quick response to that would be the level of deceit that might be the conduct of one of those industries and mott the others. wherein lies the idea that mcdonald's, my old employer, hid anything from you or that alcohol manufacturers hid anything from us. i think what you just heard from the lawyer here is much like the case was with big tobacco, they knew things they were not representing accurately, but we'll see. we'll see the way that it all plays out.

still to come, his gold star soldier son died a patriot and then khan challenged donald trump from the floor of the 2016 democratic convention and he joins me next. the ceramides in cerave. they help restore my natural barrier, so i can lock in moisture and keep us protected. we've got to have each other's backs and fronts. cerave. what your skin craves. and fronts. i kept looking for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i was doing okay. then it hit me... managing was all i was doing. when i told my doctor, i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease even after trying other medications. in clinical studies, the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened;

when he stepped to the podium the final night of the 2016 democratic convention, keiser khan was not well known, but by the time he finished speaking, few would ever forget him. his rebuke of then candidate trump's stance on immigration

was, to me, the most memorable speech of any conviction. a he was the father of gold star captain khan who gave his life in service to his country stopping a suicide attack. he's now written a book, "an american family, a memoir of hope and sacrifice." khizur khan jones ins me now. you had given an interview that the clinton campaign had taken note of. they came looking for you and you weren't sure whether to participate. >> we are humble, modest familiar. we have never been political. we were enjoying our privacy and our family that this invitation came. reluctantly, everyone advised us, this is not your cup of tea, don't get hofld. our children advised us such. but some middle school and small children in our community were reaching out to us wherever we

would go and we received a card in our mail that sent us to that conviction and the small card from four children said, mr. and mrs. khan, would you make sure that maria is not thrown out of this country. she is our friend and we love her. and i looked at that card should we go or shouldn't we go. i went to my blessed wife of 42 yea years, and she looked at me with wld eyes and said maybe this is the message given to us we should go. so we went. >> you are such a champion and afish in additiono of the american constitution that it lines the interior of your brand-new book. here is the moment that i will never forget, my viewers will never forget from your speech. roll the tape.

>> donald trump, you'reasking americans to trust you with their future. let me ask you, have you even read the united states constitution? [applause] >> i will gladly lend you my copy. >> mr. kahn, take me in the taxi as you are en route to give that speech and share with my audience the rep or take with your wife about that moment. >> i discovered that i had the copy of the constitution in my pocket because i had been keeping this since 2005. that's the long story. and we tell all of these stories in the book in great detail. but anyway, so i tell my blessed wife that i have this copy of the constitution in my pocket.

the line in the speech was have you -- you have not read the constitution of the united states. if you read it, look for the word liberty and equal protection. so i feel the bulge in my left inside pocket of my coat, and i said to her, i said i have this constitution in my pocket. should i pull it out and as she had my editor and she said no, don't do like this. we must take their permission first. and then again, the way you are pulling it out, it's not coming out correctly. make sure you place it rightly in your pocket so when you pull it it comes out like this. so we did. we practiced in the car and the cabdriver was smiling that what are these folks doing in the back seat of the car. but with her advice we practiced it and that's how it came into being. >> i hope people will read -- i was going to say i hope people will read an american life for the full story, but please,

before you leave me, speak to the photograph on the back jacket. we're going to put it up on the screen. tell me about captain kahn and that visit to the nation's capitol. >> i had just graduated from harvard law school, and we wanted to come to washington to pay a vicht to all these wonderful monuments, and so that picture depicts that moment. but just about the book, let me mention this quickly that there are two purpose. one is to pay tribute to the greatness of this nation, to the goodness that we have benefited, that all immigrant families benefit from. so this is a reminder, this is a tribute to them. second purpose of this book is that from the proceeds of this book, the goodness that he displayed dlout his life, we have honored the university of virginia has honored by setting up a scholarship in pepper tuty need based now.

so good continues to come out of that sacrifice and that 27 years that we were blessed to have him in our lives. so that's the story of goodness of america. the benefits, the dig any tiz that this constitution of our founding documents bestow upon all citizens, i implore and i appeal to all americans. captain kahn has written an article then that is so applies today. the title of the article was democracy requires vigilance and sacrifice. look where we are standing today. how much our democracy requires vigilance against the division from within and the assault from outside. those who don't wish us well have assaulted our way of life, our values, our democracy. we narrate that through our story that how fragile these

values can be, but america needs to be vigilant, monitor and make sure that no one challenges these values. >> we salute captain kahn. mr. kahn, thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. >> still to come, your best and worst tweets and facebook comments. well, like most of you, i just bought a house.

fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

hey, thank you so much for all the tweets and facebook comments. remember, i don't see them in advance, so i'm looking at it the same time you are. you don't get it. trump is the independent, flake and corker are the establishment. establishment has become some
