we begin with marcia on the democratic line. caller: good morning, and thank you for c-span. before i mentioned the reason i called, my only criticism against c-span is why didn't ryan lamb come up with that idea about 10 years sooner? because then we have all the watergate hearings and all of that information in the archives. i going to the archives of the used to be a segment on in the morning show called newspaper roundtable. do you realize what that could have been like if brian lamb just wouldn't come up with that idea? i'm a loyal viewer and it is my only criticism. i will end this rant with thank you for c-span, even though we didn't get around to it until 1979. i'm calling this morning because i think of the only senior citizen awake and up and at them who remembers watergate come either that or they haven't had enough coffee. i think people have forgotten,

and therefore don't tell younger people, their children or grandchildren what those times were like when watergate happened. people sometimes are terrible think timeseople are terrible now, they should click on youtube. have people forgotten when they were buses circling the wagons, to paraphrase, around the white house? how the vietnam war war was still going on in all the demonstrations in the streets? 1970, with nixon in all those troubles? and then when watergate came in 72, that was a reelection year. nixon was going to win that election if he never put commercial on television. clips you showed in the first segment this morning, it was like holy cow. i haven't forgotten everything. check out the podcast with

john dean that we taped late last week. he walked through the events immediately after june 17, 1972, how he reacted in the white house reacted. some good insight into the first couple of months after the watergate reagan. that's also -- watergate break-in. that's also on c-span.org. inside of google," being number two is his number one priority. a look at mike pence as president of the united states? next up is bert on the independent line. hello, thank you for c-span. this is news network commentary where you can let one person talking of time. the anxiety that being swelled eventh this political that we are watching his

traumatizing to the country. mood -- newt, i talked to him as a democrat and i hung up and he actually answered my question. host: what was your question? caller: about bringing the country back. anda machine tool trade guy we are really way, way, way behind. he was talking about bringing --ital investment back and we haven't done that yet. , kind of like that about trump but now i'm a republican, go and the stuff that i really hated about republicans i find the democrats are better out or were set. middle, i knowe what anger in the heart will do for your soul. it's hard to watch and god bless

, and thank you so much, c-span for letting one person talking to time. host: thank you for the call from new jersey. topic ofanning is the the "new york times," magazine. the coming chelsea manning is the -- becoming chelsea manning is the cover story. caller: good morning. i would just like to make a quick comment, i think it is sad that woman had to be so judgmental of mr. gingrich and trump. i think that's sad. the question i have for mr. emailsh is actually have from steve scalise when i and thatbout mueller he knew he had been a coworker and very close friend of comey for years. i'm a counselor, a professional counselor, retired now. but i was never allowed -- counselors are never allowed to counsel someone that they know.

due to the lack of objectivity that will be inherent in that. my question is how code or why was smaller appointed when there was an obvious close as honest as we want to be, there is still a level of objectivity that's hard to be present when you know somebody so well. how or why was he allowed to be appointed? and why should he not withdraw because of that? host: thanks for the call from louisiana. for the facebook page, the only way to get repeats just be a republican. name,on had a d after his it would have been oh well, no big deal. striking, theare differences are worrisome, but the end result of the same -- two presidents who have crippled

themselves and brought shame on the nation. share your thoughts on facebook.com/c-span. ruby from crescent city, florida. the morning, democrats line. caller: good morning. i'm a democrat who supported trump and i voted for him and i souls -- i still support him. i wonder how many democrats have something hidden in the small that he is going to drain. i think that's what they are all afraid of. and whoever has the authority to get out of there can -- off of fire mueller, they need to do it. proof, so it'sny time to let it go and let mr. trump yunnan with his job of draining the swamp that they are

trying to prevent him from doing. host: thank you, ruby. this is from natalie heflin, president trump has done nothing wrong. this is a power grab by the washington elite, republicans and democrats to stay in power. us.is joining good morning, welcome to the conversation. be james joining us from mississippi. caller: good morning. happy father's day to everybody. i just wanted to make a statement, i just feel like the way things are going now in this country, there's a serious -- racism and discrimination. and it's coming from both sides. people to try and

judge someone or look at this country and say we are all the same page. this is not true. the democrats have a lot of problems. republicans have a lot of problems. the man has the most problems are the independents. it's time for third-party independence. it's time to demand you have an equal part of this government, because we are being flipped and flopped all over the place. i would hope somebody would ask each person, republican or democrat, can you support independent? just like you got democrats. you're going to have this division and back and forwards. i'm telling you now, until we get a third-party, equal for republicans and democrats, you're going to have this issue. time to choose neither a

democrat or republican. i just hope that people understand that we have enemies in this country, in this world. host: james, thanks for the call. steve says mueller has an impeccable reputation as well as comey, this identity can't be fair is ridiculous. idea that he can't be fair is reckless. the headline -- somebody trying to kill me. detail whatin great happened on the baseball field. unusual group of type a personalities have gathered for an hour or so of early morning practice before heading to their day jobs on capitol hill. what happened in the five harrowing minutes after a bitter 66-year-old man from illinois trained his rifle on two dozen congressmen, staffers, wasyists, security detail,

that's the reason why you always turned me off, i don't know why. it's like you don't believe in the bible or something. however, this is bible prophecy. donald trump is talking us into a world war. destroyed going to be because of the fact that the lord said that he was going to bring a person into this world, just like him, to bring all the people of the earth together, and we're going to have a world war. here is a race war will be concentration camps, so americans and the whole mind, america's going to be destroyed and trump is a racist, and the whole setup is white supremacy. see how all of you democrats, so-called democrats turned into republicans after obama became president.

father. let's look at his children, how he raised them. i don't see violence or anger in them. c-span is kind of funny how you pick your topics on certain weekends. i wish you would reevaluate that i look at it -- really. bashing, every day, people against everybody every day. even turned a small town against some of the working people. host: what topic are we not focusing on the we should be? caller: it's father's day. everything is about bashing donald trump. it's father's day. look back at some of the great fathers of history. watergate, what does watergate have to do with father's day? host: thank you. and we45th anniversary just spent a half-hour with newt gingrich, who is a trump supporter.

year was a disaster. people hated the crowd from arkansas. that really led to vince foster's unfortunate suicide. washington, they make and break people and they decide out of the gate who is in and who is out. washington has a long tradition of this. as my first point. is ihen my second point read in the "wall street journal," that final -- that china is completing their ascendancy of world dominance, where they will have an impenetrable cloud internet and i think the object of this unfortunate and tragic carrier crash in japan leading to the deaths of these sailors, the optics couldn't be worse at this particular time as we try to reassert ourselves in that part of the world.
