if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that. (snaps) if you'd have told me that i could afford... a gig-speed. a gig-speed network. it's like 20 times faster than what most people have. i'd of said... i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far. now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin with news about first lady melania trump. she's at walter reed medical center for having a procedure on

what is noted as a benign kidney condition. what do we know, pamela? >> reporter: she is recovering, resting comfortably at walter reed after a successful kidney procedure this morning there. her communications director told the press that she had just left the first lady and she was in good spirits. and she was asked to elaborate about any more details and she declined to comment. vice president pence spoke to reporters saying melania is already on the mend but she could stay for the duration of the week. we will have to see. time will tell if she spends the duration of the week in the hospital or if her recovery happens at a faster clip and she is released earlier than that. late this afternoon the white house released this surprise statement describing the procedure as a procedure to treat a benign kidney condition.

and it certainly came to surprise for reporters covering the white house and covering melania. there really wasn't any news about the fact that she needed the procedure in the first place until after the procedure happened. anderson? >> the president wasn't with the first lady during the procedure, he did visit today. what do we know about that? >> reporter: that's right. the president did visit with her late today, early this evening i should say. he was not with her during the actual procedure and he did visit with her and spent an hour there at walter reed. he sat with her and spoke to the doctors and nurses and thanked them. it was unclear why he wasn't there earlier. we know he spoke to her on the phone and spoke to the doctor after the procedure. but as we know, this is the first lady who is very

independent and very private. and a presidential visit would have drawn a lot of attention surrounding the procedure and it was clear that the first lady didn't want anything to come out about it until after the fact. hours after. >> we certainly wish her the best. we mentioned the statement from the first lady's communication director saying she will probably be hospitalized for the week. let's get information from dr. sanjay gupta. what do we know about the procedure? >> it means that you think of it like a catheter that is being thread through some of the blood vessels. it goes close to the kidney to where this abnormality is, was. you think of it as glue being injected into the blood vessels and trying to cut off the blood supply to the abnormality. if it was at risk of bleeding,

it decreases the risk. and when you cut off the blood supply it shrinks the mass as well. that is what we know about the procedure. it is something that is sometimes done before other operations are done. if you are thinking about trying to do a procedure in the future for example, we don't know that. we know this embolization sounds like it was successful. and we heard she is resting comfortably now. >> why would you need this procedure? they say there is a mass that is benign. >> they did use the word benign and there are certain masses that are benign meaning they are not cancerous but they can still be dangerous. they can still be at risk of bleeding, for example. that is why you would use this procedure. stop the blood vessels at the risk of bleeding.

that could be why it is done. not as much information as we would like to keep this pieces together. we know she is going to be staying in the hospital for a few more days. >> i just want to be clear. and i use the word mass. i want to make sure, is that accurate if you would do this if some is some sort, or could be something else but in general benign? >> well if you start why this procedure being done in something that is benign and not cancerous, it could be a benign mass. there is a benign mass that could be at risk of bleeding and sometimes blood vessel abnormality. those could be embolized. and we don't know. it suggests that it is not

cancer, but must have been embolized for some other reason. sometimes these could be done at outpatients come in the same day and be discharged the same day. and sometimes people stay overnight because you want to see if someone develops any pain, a risk of infection or a risk of bleeding as a result of the procedure. so you want to monitor those things. staying until the end of the week seems kind of long. i don't know if that means there is something more serious going on that we may learn about over the next couple of days or if it is an abundance of caution given that she is the first lady. i am not clear. i think over the next couple of days hopefully we will get more details. >> stick around, i want to bring in gloria borger, dana bash. there's still a lot of unanswered questions. any time a first lady is hospitalized it is significant

for a number of reasons. >> well, it is. and in this case, melania trump is quite popular, a 57% approval rating. she is seen frequently now. she has got her own agenda out there. so we do see her a lot. and it is important for another reason. people in this country look to the medical treatments of people who were well-known to see in their lives if something should happen to them what they might do. i remember when nancy regular -- nancy reagan had breast cancer and she had aggressive treatment. people will look to the first lady and try and figure out what she has and they are being protective about it. but trying to judge from her treatment, this is what melania trump did, and maybe this is

something that i ought to think about. so it is significant. >> yeah. and to gloria's point, it comes after a very busy period for the first lady. we've seen her more consistently in the last few weeks. >> we certainly have. she clearly has made a point of not only putting her own agenda out there but being more present even as recently as the end of last week when the president went to greet the three prisoners who had come back from north korea. she was there in the middle of the night to do that. and they have also had a little bit more i would say a lot more public affection than they ever have. i know basically going from zero to a little. but the little was note worthy and has been note worthy and i think at the end of the day just like gloria said, she is a very,

very private person. few first ladies ask for this. i think melania trump is in the category of one of the first even of those group who didn't ask for this. who really, really didn't expect this when she married donald trump to be the first lady of the united states. and she keeps her own counsel. she has her own staff and she wants to do things her way. and doing things her own way means if you have something wrong medically, and have to have surgery, you are going to mention it after it is done and not give detail. >> doug, can you give the history of first ladies in the hospital when their husbands are in office? >> this kind of rings my bell about is when woodrow wilson came in and his wife had chronic kidney problems and she was 54-years old and ended up doing out of only you know, a year and

a half in office. the difference is that was 1914. today with modern medicine, these kinds of procedures like melania trump is going through is commonplace. i recall and you probably do, lbj got his gallbladder removed and he would show people his big scar. it was like a dramatic surgery. and people go in and out on things like gallbladder surgery and the same with removing a kidney tumor that is benign. nevertheless, woodrow wilson, back then got pressure that my wife is sick. it distracted him a lot of today donald trump is dealing with what is going on in israel and palestine and north korea and has to be constantly be monitoring his wife's physical and mental health when she is under this stress. >> gloria made an important

point. particularly the first family or first lady has a condition, it does inform vast numbers of people about problems that they may have. >> even if you look at post presidency for bill clinton for example, when he had his heart surgery, a lot of people learned about heart disease and different ways to treat it. a lot of people are paying attention to it much and they could potentially learn a lot. no question. we see it with politicians and also angelina jolie when she had breast cancer surgery. those are real teaching moments. >> and sanjay, just to be clear, this sounds, i mean, is this routine? i don't want to quantify it in any way. >> given the fact that we saw so

much of the first lady over the past week or so, my guess is that it was routine. this was something that it was planned. may have been something that was seen on a routine exam and maybe followed along for a period of time. meaning they were getting some followup scans and said at some point this needs to be treated. it has grown or changed in some way and deserves treatment. this doesn't sound like it is an emergency procedure. >> does it surprise you that we heard about this after it happened? certainly melania trump likes privacy and deserves privacy in a medical condition. >> as dana pointed out, she is private, and has a small staff. she decided to keep it private as did other first ladies. nancy reagan did, and better

ford, the never talked about alcoholism until she was out of office. i think first ladies deserve their privacies and she got it. who wants all this speculation out there. i would assume that when her care is done and she is back at the white house, that perhaps there would be a more detailed briefing. but we just, you know, we don't know if that is going to happen. but i would assume that it is better than speculation. i think perhaps they want to wait until she is well and back at the white house for that. >> it is interesting how little we know about the life of the first lady in particular, now the health issue, and really kind of she is just developing her role in a public way in the white house. >> absolutely.

look, she didn't remember even come down to washington formally and officially until the beginning of last summer. she hasn't even been formally in the white house for a full year yet and there is no question that she was as much as the president says that he knew he was going to win, people around him really didn't think it was going to happen. and that includes his wife. and so it took some time understandably for her to get her sea legs and understand what this role is. never mind she has been a part of this unbelievably unprecedented situation where she has her husband talking about and having to deal with allegations from earlier on in their marriage and you know,

there is no question that it is impossible to think that has not determined how melania trump has talked or not talked very much publicly. >> well, again, we wish her the best. coming up, the white house aide who made a horrible joke about john mccain, has made an apology private not public. and the white house refuses to apologize at all. we'll keep them hops, next. and dozens killed by israeli security forces in gaza, as an american delegation, led by ivanka trump and jared kushner attend a ceremony to open the embassy in jerusalem. you wouldn't believe what's in this kiester. a farmer's market. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it. it's these new fresh-fx car air fresheners from armor all. each scent can create a different mood in my car.

like tranquil skies. armor all, it's easy to smell good. the kayak explore tool shows you the places you can fly on your budget. so you can be confident you're getting the most bang for your buck. alo-ha. kayak. search one and done. now that we have your attention... capri sun has four updated drinks. now with only the good stuff. do you know how to use those?

nope. get those kids some capri sun!

tonight keeping them honest with what should be the easiest thing in the world, an apology for an insensitive remark, an apology the white house refusz refuses to give. saying about john mccain, sadler, didn't matter, because quote he is dying anyway. saddler told meghan mccain she apologized. that public apologies has not happened yet. and the white house refuses to apologize at all. at the white house tonight, they said kelly sadler is an employee and came to work today. as for that apology, not happening. >> why not just apologize so

america doesn't think that is an acceptable way of speaking inside the white house? >> i understand the focus on the issue but it is going to be dealt with and has been dealt with internally. >> how? >> i was told she called the mccain family late last week and did apologize. beyond that, i don't have further comment. >> he was asked about this multiple times today and the same phrase popped up. >> it is going to be dealt with and has been dealt with internally. this is an internal matter. being addressed internal. if i explain all of that, it won't remain internal. the matter has been addressed internally. it is an internal matter and we have addressed it internally. >> keeping them honest, the white house may want this to be an internal matter, but this got out there and got out fast. that genie is not going back into the bottle. let's remember what we are talking about. we are talking about senator john mccain american hero. he was a former prisoner of war and was tortured to the point he

cannot lift his arms over his head. republican senator who has dedicated his life to public service. and battling brain cancer. how hard is it to say we're sorry for a staff making a crass remark? all common sense and common decency is ignored. listen to the head of the american consumer union and is married to the white house communications director. >> kelly is my friend and i feel bad she is going through this. she immediately called to apologized. she is also a little bit of a victim here. i don't blame anybody like you to run with leaks out of the white house. it's your job and you're trying to give transparency to the american americans and the voters. the problem is that none of us were in this room. the people who leaked it have animous against her. that is the problem in this white house, when people have animus she go public. we don't know what kelly meant by that term. >> it seems like we know what

she meant. as for what he meant as kelly being a victim, that one is unclear. we asked him to come on the program. we asked the white house. they all declined. the white house has been instructed to not apologize. and now the staff and reporters are running around throwing smoke screens. this is a president who not only has insulted mccain himself, but as we found out during the campaign, doesn't want to apologize for anything. >> the idea of asking for forgiveness, is that a central tenet for you? >> i like to work where i don't have to ask for forgiveness. i like to be good. i don't like to have to ask for forgiveness. and i am good. if i do something wrong, i try to make it right. >> i fully think that apologizing is a great thing, but you have to be wrong. i will apologize in the future

if i'm ever wrong? >> when was the last time you actually apologized for something? >> oh wow. look, can i think? i believe in apologizing if you're wrong. if you are not wrong, i don't believe in apologizing. >> by that logic, either the president has never been wrong or doesn't believe in apologizing. the only instance we could fiend of apologizing on camera is after the "access hollywood" tape when he bragged about sexually assaulting women. after it came out, he released a video. >> anyone who knows me, knows these words don't reflect who i am. i said it. i was wrong and i apologize. >> of course he went on to say in that same video that bill clinton is worse and raises doubt if that was even his voice on the "access hollywood" tape. as we all know it was. that he said one time, i said it, i was wrong, i apologize is an anomaly. clearly the president does not believe in apologizing but that

doesn't stop him from demanding that people apologize to him. here are a few people he tweeted about demanding apologies from them for perceived wrongs. hillary clinton, espn. the cast of "hamilton" on broadway. the former president of mexico. and justice ginsberg. the "new york times," the "wall street journal." they could have made this story go away. why won't they admit the tone it set from the top? remember what sarah sanders said friday. >> what does the white house believe about senator mccain and is there a tone set from the top where it has allowed for an aide to say he is dying anyway. >> certainly there is not a tone set here. we have a respect for all americans. >> why not just apologize to senator mccain? >> i am not going to get into a

back and forth because people want to create issues of leaked staff meetings. >> the president set the tone or bear responsibilities? >> the president as i mentioned a moment ago supports all americans. >> so he supports all americans but won't apologize to one in particular. with me now is steve cortez and paul begala. paul, this is really part of whether it's the administration's playbook or mr. trump's playbook, never to apologize. does it work? it seems to have worked for the president thus far. >> it has worked so far. apparently with the third of the country. with the republican core base. and i guess that is fine. the question is first off, not just as a political matter, but as a moral matter. this is a man who -- that base, by the way, is white christian evangelical. and i am glad you found that tape. it was the same interview in ames, iowa, in 2015, when he

attacked john mccain. he was asked by the moderator, do you ever seek forgiveness from god? and for people of faith, seeking forgiveness is essential. and he said, no, i don't think so. and that is his view. he does set this tone. never apologize to ted cruz for spreading this vicious nonsense that his father was connected to the kennedy assassination or to senator kennedy's wife who he mocked. he never apologizes. and what that does in this case is it compounds the pain in the mccain family and that is unconscionable. and he is compounding the pain of a family whose father is fighting for his life and is an american hero. steve wants to agree with me because he is a man of

countanance and would never accept this. >> steve? >> listen, if you are going to sit in judgment of donald trump, moral judgment of him, then it is important that you realize that you served a president who supports abortion through the ninth month of pregnancy. that's an important distinction. we can have problems with donald trump as people of faith and problems with barack obama as a person of faith. let's be clear that it's the poli policies. >> as a pro-life person, you must be really astoundingly offended that they are mocking a man who is fighting for his life. right? that can't be a pro-life thing to do, right? to mock a man who is fighting a brain tumor? >> to mock a man that is near death is wrong. absolutely. >> should the white house apoll -- just say, look, we are sorry for what this person said or should the person who said it herself should publicly apologize? >> i think the white house should apologize.

i do. number one, because i think it is the right thing to do and we created an unfair or an unneeded narrative out there. number two, i think this story should not be five days old which i think it is right now. and i should say also this, will the mainstream media apologize for continuing to focus on a mid level staffer, and by the way, i really like her, so i don't mean to demean her. a mid level staffer that 99% of people never heard of and ignore the good news and hyperfocus on one crass statement or poorly worded joke from one mid level white house staffer. >> if it is so meaningless, why not do the decent human thing? you say they should.

i don't understand, is it that the president believes apologizing is weakness and that message has been sent to the white house? does he believe that you don't get credit for apologizing to your enemies anyway so what is the point? >> listen, you can ask my wife, i probably apologize four times a day. >> i am a huge apologizer as well. we are on the same page on this. but i don't get what the thinking is behind this. here is the thing, when has the mainstream media apologize to him? the "washington post" for saying that he moved the mlk statue when he did not. when did cnn apologize for reporting that comey was going to deny the fact that he had told him three times that he was not investigating him? when is the mainstream media

going to apologize for fake news? >> i do the "washington post" apologized immediately for that mistake. and any time a news organization makes a mistake, they issue a correction, immediately. >> the correction gets 0.01 volume of the initial report. abc news said he directed general flynn when the stock market crashed for a day, to contact the russians and it was untrue. the correction never gets the volume. >> like a shiny object away from the thing we are talking about. but, paul, i mean, to steve's point, this is something that happened days ago.

if she had just apologized and said publicly, or the white house put out a statement saying we regret what she said she is a mid level staffer, and we support her but what she said was wrong. no one would be talking about this. >> i think what michelle obama said, the presidency does not shape your character, it reveals it. president trump's character was revealed in the campaign. he is a person no matter what the offense, no matter how horrible conduct he or his staff in this case commits, will not apologize. and yet is rewarded with 80% support of white christian ev evan gel cals. if people wanted to hold this man accountable, they would. i'm interested in how my fellow americans respond to this because it is irresponsible. >> that is twice that you brought up white by the way, is that a racist point? >> it is important, because people say evangelicals support trump.

>> i'm a hispanic. >> let me answer your question. people say evangelicals support trump. that's not true. people of color who are evangelicals tend -- nothing against this. nothing against being white. i don't know if you can see but i am white. >> thank you. up next, more breaking news. the u.s. embassy has moved to jerusalem from tel-aviv. fulfilling a campaign promise made by president trump, also triggering mass demonstrations by palestinians and palestinian protests. officials saying 60 were killed. very latest from the region when we continue. whoooo.

when it comes to travel, i sweat the details. late checkout... ...down-alternative pillows... ...and of course, price. tripadvisor helps you book a... ...hotel without breaking a sweat. because we now instantly... ...search over 200 booking sites ...to find you the lowest price... ...on the hotel you want. don't sweat your booking. tripadvisor. the latest reviews. the lowest prices. feeclaritin and relief fromwsy symptoms caused by over 200 allergens. like those from buddy. because stuffed animals are clearly no substitute for real ones. feel the clarity. and live claritin clear.

if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that. (snaps) if you'd have told me that i could afford... a gig-speed. a gig-speed network. it's like 20 times faster than what most people have. i'd of said... i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far.

now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. breaking news out of the middle east tonight. the death toll is rising along the border of gaza and israel. now standing at at least 58. israel's capital became a reality. in a televised ceremony that captured a surreal contrast between speechmaking and violence. jared kushner delivered a speech praising the move. benjamin netanyahu to the

podium. television screens in the u.s. were also showing the violence. palestinians protested the openings by trying to force their ways past guards into israeli territory. for his part, the president video taped a message of welcome. >> this city and the entire nation is a testament to the unbreakable spirit of the jewish people. the united states will always be a great friend of israel and a partner in the cause of freedom and peace. we wish ambassador freedman good luck as he takes up his office in this beautiful jerusalem embassy and we extend a hand in friendship to israel, the palestinians and to all of their neighbors. >> both the president and the palestinians delivered on their promises. president trump promised to move the embassy, and the palestinians promised to protest. to help sort this out i'm joined

by aaron david miller. so jared kushner saying today i think peace is in reach if we dare to believe that the future can be different from the past. is peace within reach right now? >> it is a nice line but i think we have to face up to reality. the first time i met mr. kushner i said i wish my father-in-law had the confidence in me that your father-in-law has in you because he's given you mission impossible. even though the embassy belongs in jerusalem, no question about that, what happened today made mission impossible on steroids. the reality is i doubt certainly we are not closer, and i think in terms of the u.s. role and the framework, what happened today is made the situation all that more difficult. >> does anyone on the palestinian side see the u.s. as an honest broker in this situation which i assume is

essential for some sort of peace process and yeah, peace process to move forward? >> i think the answer is no. and i think the answer is probably no even before mr. trump got to washington. the truth is, the situation may respects and i'm not dreaming here, the situation may actually be redeemable if the administration would be prepared to put on the table an approach that was more than one-hand clapping, one that reflected the needs and requirements on the core issues, borders, jerusalem, refugees, recognizing israel as the state of the jews, ownend o all conflicts and needs of the core needs of each side. that's a stretch in this administration. one addition points worth making, this administration, and i have worked for republicans and democrats. this is not a partisan comment. but this administration seems to come up with solutions to problems that we don't have. it is true withdrawal from tpp,

climate change, the travel ban. withdrawal from jcpoa. the nuclear agreement was highly flawed but still functional. and the jerusalem decision is another example of creating a solution to a problem we didn't have and in the process creating additional problems. >> it is something that past candidates and past administrations have said they would do and just kept pushing it off for the future. >> it is true, but a reason for that. congress passes the '95 jerusalem act, compelling the administration to move the embassy by '99. and in two previous administrations exercised that national security waiver every six months because jerusalem is the most combustible volatile fraud issue in all of the israeli/palestinian conflict. i think they were wise to do it,

given the situation we will face now. >> today the white house spokesperson was asked a number of times about responsibility for israel for the dozen of deaths on the border. and he answered each time pointing the finger at hamas. he said they're to blame. what do you make of that? >> you're dealing with a humanitarian situation in gaza, which has reached crisis proportions. absence of electricity, potable water. and originally, these demonstrations were grass roots from palestinian activists. seven fridays in a row and the fact that you have these things today on the 70th anniversary of the creation of the state of israel. and tomorrow violence could be worse and we are into ramadan. i think hamas realized that high-trajectory weapons and tunneling was not an effective way to put the palestinian issue front and center. they found one.

and tragically, this is the one they advanced. >> appreciate your time. details when we continue. the presence of two more evangelical pastors at the ceremony have more controversy. we'll have details on that when we continue.

again, our breaking news, at least 58 people died in clashes in gaza. two of the invited speakers at

the u.s. opened its new embassy today. two of the invited speakers at today's are pastors. both have come under fire for controversial statements about religions that aren't christian. this is father jeffress. he assails three major religions. it's not always easy to hear but just listen. >> islam is wrong. mormonism is wrong. it is a heresy from the pit of hell. judaism, you can't be saved being a jew. >> former presidential president mitt romney tweeted this. robert jeffress says you can't be saved by being a jew and mormonism is a pit of heresy from the pit of hell. both were invited as representatives of the united states. and to discuss, we are joined by

daryl scott, a trump supporter, and cnn politic al reporter, imn hill. given that both of these pastors have made controversial statements about judaism in particular, was it appropriate that have them speak at this ceremony? >> i know both pastors, i don't think they intentionally saying disparaging remarks. mormonism thinks their way is the way to god. and islam believes the same thing. so these pastors were expressive to their faith. i know both of them and i don't think they were trying to say anything denigrating about any religion. >> mark, what about that?

it is something that the pastor jeffress and hagge, it is their faith. it is their belief. >> they are entitled to their belief, but it is an odd choice to go to israel to stand in jerusalem and introduce a preacher and have him give words who says jews are going to hell and muslims are going to hell. in an area and a region where religious difference is being pushed by netanyahu and donald trump as the primary reason for this conflict. i would disagree. there is a religious tension there and you stand in front of these people and say hey, these people are going to hell. can you imagine if farrakhan had said jews were going to hell? donald trump would be leading the march on twitter to have him denounced. or jeremiah wright had gone there. he's able to bring in a base that's anti-symmetrical on the one hand and anti-zionist on the

other hand. it is a tight rope that you can't walk and as a result you end up insulting everybody and provoking more tension in the region. >> is it fair to say he is anti semitic? yes, he clearly believes that jews will go to hell unless they convert. is that anti-semitic? >> saying that jews are going to hell as such is not anti-semitic, it is a belief that i disagree with. but it is a religious piece. donald trump has surrounded himself with an at alt-right crew. they make the same anti-semitics about jews running the world. these are the same narratives that we here from the alt right people that support donald trump. the same people marching in charleston are the same people supporting these pastors. so it is not just what he said in that particular sermon or that particular snippet, it is the whole narrative together. >> reverend scott, what about that? >> i don't agree with that. people are entitled to their own opinion.

they expressed the fact that they believe jesus christ is the way, the truth and the life. no other means of having a relationship with god outside of him. >> if their support of israel is based at least on prophesy and the belief that is the location and the end, the end time comes, it is an end time prophesy, isn't that at least part of the support of someone like pastor jeffress? >> some of it is prophesy and some of it is history. christianity is not antagonistic to judaism. it's complementary. we believe that christianity is the fulfillment of judaism. that the old testament concealed and the new testament is revealed. they're not antagonistic, one towards another. we consider jews to be our brethren, after the faith. we believe in the same god. but they do not accept jesus christ as their messiah. we believe that jesus is the

messiah of the jews. we are not antagonistic. i don't know what they did centuries ago. but as of now, we are not. >> i think if you look at anti-semitism in the united states, and in europe, it is often animated by people who purport to be christians. >> you are right. >> so i don't think it is fair to say there is no antagonism here. it is important to make a distinction between israeli state craft and judaism. to say someone is not anti-jewish because they support israel. you can support israel and be anti-semite. to anderson's pointed, part of why that happens is because they are supporting returns of jus and european immigrants to israel because it's an end of the day prophecy fulfillment. so this is how you end up with a state of israel that on the one hand is oppressing palestinians and on the other hand is trying to push forward religious narratives and so that is a historically fact.

>> i don't see israel as persecuting palestinians. if it was up to the palestinians, it was up to is m islam, every jew in israel would be slaughtered. if it was up to israel, there would be peaceful co-existence. let's not get it twisted here. the goal of judaism is not to wipe out islam. the goal of islam is to wipe out israel. and you can't say that israel is persecuting palestinians because they're protecting themselves. >> reverend scott, you said that all palestinians want to wipe out all israelis. do you stand by that? >> when i say all, i don't mean all in -- i need all in a limited sense, it's a figure of speech when the word all is used. >> you said that all muslims. you believe that all muslims want to wipe out the jews? >> -- the desire to remove israel's presence from jerusalem and from israel. to remove them from that portion of the world. and that is true.

and even when you're saying about the discriminatory practices or whatever. i'm not denying the reality. i'm saying it's something they have to work out for themselves. >> i appreciate the discussion. thank you. up next, less than a week until the royal wedding at windsor castle and there's reportedly a big development involving meghan markle's family. details on that when we come back. this car is literally my baby.

antonio villaraigosa for governor. the last thing that meghan markle wants before she weds prince harry is a scandal. according to tmz her father will skip the wedding after admitting to staging several photos with the paparazzi, this one of him getting fitted for a suit. meghan markle's half-sister saying it was all her idea. all started with a report in a london paper over the weekend. cnn's correspondent max foster joins us with the details. max, what more are you learning about this? >> what's interesting is these photos suddenly came out. they went viral and they show thomas markle apparently getting ready for the big day. a lot of people at the time actually said they looked staged then that was dismissed and turned out they were. you know, meghan's half-sister,

samantha, admitted as much. she also said it was her idea to come up with this. it wasn't for the money despite lots of money being made from these photos. it was because thomas didn't feel the images out there really reflected him very well so he wanted to create some new ones. so it's all become a real mess. and now he's told tmz that he's not coming to the wedding. this is just a few days, obviously, anderson, before the big day, itself. >> tmz originally reported he wasn't going to attend because he had a heart attack six days ago. what have you found out about that? >> we haven't been able to confirm that but what question did do, obviously, was going to the palace and say what do you know about this tmz report? and they came back and they issued a statement saying, you know, this is very difficult situation, effectively. then i managed to speak to someone very close to meghan and harry and they described how, you know, deeply upset they were, how very concerned they are about thomas markle, and how

they want the media just to give him some space. she said, this is interesting, i mean, while the source said she said that she's not put off at all by these photos. didn't affect whether or not she wanted her father to walk her down the aisle. i think the point they're making there is there are some rumors around suggesting the palace got involved, they were embarrassed by these photos, they didn't want him coming to the wedding. i think the message really from the people i've been speaking to is it absolutely was not the case, they weren't -- may might have been embarrassed by the photos but didn't stop the idea she wanted him coming to the wedding. so i think they're deeply upset by this. they'd still love him still to come. it's all become, you know, pretty sad for them i think a few days ahead of the wedding. >> max foster, appreciate it. thanks. not sure what the big deal is about those photos. i'm going to be traveling to england for the role wedding. i'll be anchoring from there starting friday night. up next, more serious stuff, first lady melania trump hospitalized after undergoing a
