he had kind of made it at a young age, he was 29 when he first entered congress in 1953 and he had other opportunities. he was me potentially, this was the rumor at the time that he was going to be tapped for ag in 1965 was his dear friend johnson was president and he had no interest. he said no, i'm where i should be. as you said, he wanted to be called mister chairman and he eventually was mister chairman for the house government operations committee from 74 to 88 and then of course the judiciary from 88 to 94. and i think that was the top of the mountain for him. it was to be the chairman of the preeminent arbiter of constitutional principle. >> one of the things that struck me reading the book was just how close he was to lyndon johnson. not just as a political alignment, not just as somebody who could help him out on capitol hill but it's deeply personal, intimate relationships. to the point where i got the impression maybe sometimes he didn't really want to go over reto the johnsons every night and watch tv and drink and have fun. tell us a little about the nature of that relations

he laughed as he said that. but then he also showed me and told me how the nazis had captured him and tortured him brutally for days on in and strong him up from the ceiling onto beams while pouring water down his mouth and in his ears, something we did not know until you years later was waterboarding and within until his back was raw and beat him until up pulp until he was on the verge of death, he showed me all of this he was standing up and showing me around house to the chin that knocks six of his teeth out. and looking at the medical reports that verified this. it was a memorable afternoon to say the least. i told freddy i wanted to write about his story, i did not take enough people knew about it. he said you know there has been things written over the years, a couple of books of oss missions including his and documentaries years earlier and he was not sure, what's the point in what's a big deal. and i said i think it's a very big deal, there's generations of people who do not know about the sacrifices of

he knows he has cancer. he knows he is dying. he better write these memoirs to have something to do, and it works. we will get into that later. craig: here he is on the porch writing in longhand these memoirs, a race against death. his health is declining, obviously. could you as editor or any member of your team perceive in any way in the writing of that that there is a deterioration that takes place from the beginning to the end of the book? can you tell here is a man beginning to falter? is there any sense of that? john: oh, yeah. you can see that. he is sitting someplace. most of it he writes in new york city at east 66th street. the building is no longer there, but there is a plaque there. that is where he does most of his writing. remember, this is less than year that he is doing all of this. you can see the writing deteriorate. his hand is pretty firm, but then it gets worse and worse. then he stops being as total and full and just says this is what happened, this is what happened. he ends up, as you know, in grant's cotta

so where was he? what was he doing? who was he with? >> what is a guy of his wealth doing hanging out at a homeless shelter/soup kitchen? >> reporter: for decades, suspicions, questions raised anew on the series "the jinx." will there finally be answers? >> bob didn't kill susan berman. >> reporter: the twisted tale of robert durst. and a new mystery. >> karen, where are you? >> he's definitely in the mix? >> he's in the mix. ♪ >>> hello and welcome to "dateline." robert durst was born into privilege. he never seemed to crave the limelight, but over the years his possible ties to a string of mysterious disappearances and gruesome deaths placed him under the bright glare of suspicion. durst's tale has been the subject of books, television shows, and movie plots. it is a stranger than fiction story with twists and turns, a complicated yarn that has been unraveling for decades. here's keith morrison with "robert durst: the lost years." >> reporter: there is a letter written more than 60 years ago. a prophecy? perhaps. a warning, certainly.

he also took the fifth when he was sum mond. until months later that the memo and the irishman's name leaked out. i said what's the hofx report? >> he said jimmy hoffa. and i said who is frank sheeran. eric: he was teamster's local president in delaware. he claimed in a book proposal that he shot jimmy hoffa. >> they wanted to hire me in my medicolegal capacity to see if i can get early medical parole for frank the irishman sheeran. eric: sheeran caught the attention of jimmy hoffa. >> you heard of sheeran's talents in strand wishing people. hoff a made the introduction and hoffa got sheeran to rid his enemies, too. eric: so half a century later that the story surfaced that irishman claimed he killed jimmy hoffa, i knew i had to investigate. charlie brandt had been quietly interviews sheeran for a long time. eric: who shot jimmy hoffa? >> frank the irishman sheeran for sure. i didn't just have it on the witness stand for an afternoon. by the time i brought him to you i had him for years. how many shots were fired sat jimmy. >> t

, he was sitting -- on the night before he died, he was sitting there reading the paper, discussing the news of the day. he understood the important role of the press to inform the public about critical events. susan: historian ron chernow, of "hamilton" fame, used it to give a history lesson on the relationship between the president and the press. we have a video clip. let's listen. [video clip] ron: washington became the victim of the most preposterous slander when the opposition press charged he had been a secret british throughout the revolutionary war. -- british agent throughout the revolutionary war. obviously, the british have gotten a very poor return on their investment. [laughter] some of the most blistering attacks against washington came from an unexpected source, his secretary of state, thomas jefferson, that hired a poet as state department translator. jefferson had recruited him to found a party organ called the national gazette, that would publish slashing broadsides against the very president jefferson served. the poet performed his task with such malicious gusto, that

he left the room and he came back and he was just fully naked. i thought, "he's coming after me." um... i just remember so of darting back and forth trying to get past him. you know in that moment that you may not make it. i told him that i was furious, i said, you know, i said, "i can't believe you're doing this to me. i don't know if he heard me, but , i don't know. mit have heard (sniffles) i mean, i do... i was able toay finally get a... a wut. i knew that if i went up againsi harveytein, i mean, just instinctually, i'd be squashed.. so i was sca and so i didn't say anything to the people that might have been able to help me. >> narrator: katherine kendallf is oneer a hundred women who have come forward with allegations against harvey weinstein since october 2017. many of these men are now suing him. weinstein declined to bed. intervie but through his spokeswoman, he provided "frontline" with written responses to the allegations in this film. he denies any criminal conduct. >> harvey weinstein was one of the most powerful people i hollywood for decades, and he was a darling of

so i knew he was who he said he was, and that he was at least 21. >> reporter: who did he say he was?> he said his name was andy wegener, and that was the e-mail address that he had contacted me from, was andy wegener something-or-other at gmail.com. >> reporter: where'd you meet? >> i work part-time at a gas station. it's public, there are cameras in the area, and if something bad were to happen i know of at least two or three people that are there a lot that would probably come to my rescue. >> is that the kind of thing you have to do when you sell a weapon? >> that's the thing i do when i sell a weapon because i've got entirely too much to lose. i have a family, i have a job that, you know -- i love them both. i did not want to jeopardize those. we met at the station. i showed him the rifle in the back end of my car, and then i filled out a bill of sale, because i wanted to make sure that this was trackable. i kept a copy. he kept a copy. we reviewed everything to make sure that it was what he wanted and make sure everything was, you know, up to snuff. >> reporter: you saw his phot

post," he never relented and he did not see a good side to richard nixon which doesn't mean that he attacked him blindly. it meant he had real issues with some of the things whether it be corruption or wiretapping or things he just liked and he felt it was his job as a cartoonist to express his opinion and to share it with others, and that's the basic role of an editorial cartoon is to express an opinion and persuade people to your point of view and a good cartoonist does more than just illustrate the news, he gets his point across or she gets her point across. so here we have nixon throwing some tapes to an investigator who is represented by a hound dog, a bloodhound trying to throw a few reels away while still clutching, perhaps the most important evidence against him. and you can see the bones of some of his indicted conspirators left behind by the bloodhound. when it came to jimmy carter herb block saw him as a pretty ineffectual leader and it shows carter banging on his own presidential desk for refusing to take a leadership role. there's, you know, that's the most i can say ab

he knows he's dying it's a miracle he's alive. i tell the story of his relationship in the book with lucy rutherford because i believe that relationship with the woman who was the great love of his life i think personally she kept him alive. here is a man can only operate one or two hours a day but if you get to the end of the book. [laughter] if you read the story of how he arranges to stay for a few days in the little white house before he goes to san francisco that is the piece side of the war and peace. and he cannot wait for her to arrive and gets in his car and drives to make it in georgia to meet her. and they meet each other. it's a charming story of just how much she meant to him in those last days. i think i have to call it a day. thank you so much for coming. [applause] [inaudible conversations] >> what is uncovered in this book and documented is much bigger than any one network star or executive it is about patterns of cover-up in corporate america and the way that people get hurt it swept under the rug instead of bein

he wanted to get rid of it if he could have. in this case schumer and dashell didn't want a trial, tom dashell, the democratic leader, didn't want a trial, either. every trial is a win for democrats the way schumer sees it. as we said before, i'm not sure mcconnell would try and go and say just force it, unless he can commit his swing state republicans that, you know, this is the way to do this. >> and that's the question. we actually have a list here of the possible senators to watch here in the impeachment trial, the people who could actually break ranks. we'll see. most of them are holding their cards close to the vest. lamar grant of tennessee is a republican that's retiring. he's someone who has yet to say how he'll come down on these key questions. susan collins of maine up for reelection. senator murkowski of alaska, she has broken with the president, including voting against the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. mitt romney is someone who is a frequent critic of the president. tom tillis, he's a north carolina repub

but he was 65 years old so he retired. andy he commanded the respect of a lot of people which goes back to the story i mentioned about retirement party for general george c marshall. grew was asked to provide remarks at that dinnerbecause of his stature . thank you. >> grew was a pow. was his treatment trains that all after doolittle raiders did the bombing in tokyo and did hehave any connection with some of the prisoners of the doolittle raiders ? >> the short answer is i don't know if he had any communication but they were held more or less incommunicado in the american embassy so they were not out and about and the embassy, it was a very nice embassy.one of the nicest embassies the united states had but they had two buildings, a transfer and a residence but a lot of the people who worked in the embassy lived outside the embassy before pearl harbor. when pearl harbor occurred, all the embassy staff had to be relocated in the embassy, there was not enough room for everybody so offices were turned into bedrooms so that peo

they say this is the way he does it. last night he said this is who he is. he's true to form. this is how he acts so that makes it okay. can you you cannot believe this is a standard for presidential behavior. i think that you guys are not happy with the election result. >> do you think that's true about me? do you think i'm out to get the president? >> i don't think you're out to get the president. >> i'm not. his followers are out to get me. >> many in the establishment and establishment are not happy with donald trump. tens of millions, maybe $100 million by tom steyer are calling for this impeachment. and you know has been calling for this impeachment. the democrats are now delivering. has had a tremendous record coming into this house. he has not had one, two, hundreds of times he brings 30, 000, 40,000 people together >> he's a very big celebrity. no question about it. >> we've never had a politician in the city, the country, lit the imagination of -- >> 30,000, 40,000, are you the president of 300 plus million people? bringing them together. not taking pockets of people

he was -- he was a former representative. he served in congress.enate would have been a step up if he went from there. but he went from that to being cia director. and now, he's secretary of state. that's a big job. going back to the senate i think would be very frustrating. think he is holding out because trump is not actually pleased with pompeo. yes, he hasn't cooperated. but yes, he has not sort of given the full-throated defense that trump likes to see. and pompeo, remember, was on the call with zelensky. and trump, i believe, feels that he could've said so much more publicly to defend trump. and he hasn't done that either. so not only is he not cooperating, he also really hasn't had a full-throated defense of trump. and i think trump is not really happy with him. >> rick, good to see you. rick tyler. thanks to doug thornell as well. both joining me from washington. >>> still to come, how insurance companies are turning massive profits by combining drugs you can buy for dollars on your own. but next, the economy and 2020. why running on it cou

he's active, involved, well-rounded, he's kind, he respects me, he protects me. he's loving. >> the perfect guy. >> the perfect guy. the perfect guy. >> he was, apparently, even perfect enough for denita's cautious mother, sharon smith. who came to trust that jamere was the right guy for her precious daughter. >> i knew what he would be getting. but i didn't know what she would be getting. so i tried to find every reason to not like him. >> how'd you do? >> i failed because he was very polite. he was very respectful. i would always tell jamere, you take care of my baby. this is precious cargo. and he promised me that he would. that he wouldn't let anything hurt her. i said, okay. >> now, police wanted to talk to jamere stroud. >> greensboro police have confirmed smith was engaged to officer jamere stroud. stroud has been an officer with the greensboro police department for four years. >> the fact that he was her fiance, immediately made stroud a person of interest. jamere insisted he knew nothing about who killed denita. >> jamere was at home asleep because he ha

he first said he was home when he called his friend george after 9:30.ctive nelvin found evidence proving otherwise. >> once we get the phone records back and the cell tower site locations back, we are putting him at her house. >> so the tower is catching him out in a lie? >> absolutely. his 911 phone call in the morning, it hits off the same tower he was hitting off when he called 9:46 the night before directly north of karen pannell's house. >> they could only think of one reason for him to lie about those times. it was that karen's car guy was the killer. they brought him to headquarters once again. this time for an official and much more aggressive interrogation. >> he gave the same timeline as he gave previously. we went through it with him. and he held true with what he told us. at that point we started attacking his story. >> tim had a simple explanation for the time line problems, he was confused. >> this is what cooperation got me. confused. >> confused? >> we know you weren't confused, tim, you lied. >> when the pizza arrived, i was still there

he said sure, he is desperate.may be the smartest and stupidest thing he ever did because we are going to outfox those four. that is a great idea. i know everybody in washington, go back to washington and see what you can do. he goes back to washington pretty quick. he becomes the lead staff, maybe the only one staff, for house committee and railroad and the senate committee on a railroad while working -- being a director on the board of directors and an engineer for the railroad. they were in such an area in congress they assign them and send the board to the president, 1862 it is a done deal. we will give them the equivalency of billions in bonds, it is a tax race. american taxpayers have to pay for financing of this railroad. and then get back to that later on. they are ready to go. the central pacific railroad company which would later become the southern pacific. >> the same part of the deal that gave ownership rights to miles on each side. >> it was 10 miles on either side of the right away. if you -- if you

say he would comply, he said he would respond to one.hat's an important distinction and indication that the former vice president would likely fight one if one was issued. wary of saying so explicitly in part because i think they don't like the comparison that some will make and say he's acting just as president trump is in fighting any congressional subpoenas, the clear insistence is they would fight this. >> i assume at the top because that -- because it was a congressional subpoena, because the basic thinking is that you -- you comply with subpoenas unless you're part of the trump administration, you don't seem to think you need to comply with them, joe biden would comply if congress issued him one after he used to be -- he used to be a lawmaker. sao would they send a letter saying we don't think it is necessary? i'm a little confused, mike. >> no, you're right to be confused. i was and i had a long discussion with the campaign about this. the indication is that, yes, he has in his career complied with, again, legal and valid subpoena

he didn't get that job. >> why not? >> he he get it? had so many business deals with questionable clients, some weird arrangements. >> so does trump. >> well, sure, but he got elected. look, he didn't get to be the secretary of state. what you see him doing now, if you talk about internal motivation, i think susan is absolutely right. hey, susan. but he's in his own mind trying to do some of the job of secretary of state that he always wanted. >> an overseas envoy. over the weekend president trump said he should present his findings to congress. >> i just know he came back from someplace and will make a report to the attorney general and to congress. he says he has a lot of good information. i have not spoken to him about that information. rudy has been one of the great crime fighters of the last 50 years. he did get back from europe just recently. he has not told me what he's found, but i think he wants to go before congress and also to the attorney general and the department of just. i hear he's found plenty. >>> you know, susan, it s

never came up. >> he said joe biden. >> he said joe biden but he is referring to events of 2016 which he has always been bothered by. everybody can see the record of it, he tweets about it. for years he talked about his concern about the 2016 election. >> he never said anything about joe biden when he was running as a candidate. hunter biden took the contract in 2014 with bar is ma. first time trump talked about it was last year. >> you haven't seen the transcript of all his calls either. he talked consistently how he feels the election was -- there was meddling, there was effort by foreigners to go against him. everybody thought 2016 was messed up, both sides of the aisle. that's what's in his mind. as a lawyer, we have the intent behind the offender. what was in trump's mind. the transcript is clear and evidence has come out since, shows zelensky said clearly he didn't feel pressure, there was no pressure. they didn't know aid was delayed. >> that's not true. came out in testimony a pentagon official said they got a message from ukrainians where is the military aid, july 25th, same

he freed the people he owned. he couldn't those that belonged to the custis estate which was 150.t then there were another 40 working at mount vernon from land -- g plantations. he was generally conservative. color outside y the lines when it came to making a radical decision. was one that i think most his e overlook because peers, jefferson and madison, that course. >> interesting in your talk andt freeing those enslaved they became storytellers at the did they lowing, continue talking about washington? are there stories of evidence that they became sort biographers of him through the stories? >> some of them did. is best example in book samuel anderson who pops,in the 1840's the wear in the but lives it be about 100 years old and he is part of the being freed by the terms of the will but he never far. in fact because a lot of these they had intermarry ied have families and one of the effects of how the will was devised is some would be free weren't. so for a lot of them who had that still would been slaved they

he said he's trying to do that. and i think once she understands a bit of the language and culture to still be very much on the right. it's important to be. i think this is cool. really important then i am really enjoying this. could see me as european odyssey finally began in 28 said. it was a tough time for ensign so much they just wanted to travel in the champions league but then that team was dismantled so he arrived to the club in transition. and it was difficult. for cool guys. when wilson would move into a different country when i went to enter for example i was 1718 years old but i did leave a place you've been familiar with for 18 years of your life. that was a difficult period when you caught a new language to live. shortly after that the whole family moved to italy to be near by and lend him support yeah you are back to this one he was starting to play well again. sent him off to spain and i love. you but i stayed. puff a season onload espanol off the next one back in the lead and then liverpool cooling.

if he is the clever politician i think he is, he will develop that.he conciliation he expressed in that opening speech, which was very well done, politically, a very clever move, is possible when you have a large majority, because there is not going to be the rancour and acrimony within his own parliamentary party, because he has got such a commanding majority, so he is going to be able to accomplish what he said he would accomplish, in terms of official removal of our sort of trade relations, the renegotiation of our trade relations and so on, without having to worry about his own party collapsing under him or disappearing under him. he will have a much less truculent parliament, because the opposition is in disarray, and there will be no excuse, in a sense, for him not accomplishing what he says he will accomplish. if he doesn't accomplish it, that is because that can be blamed on obstacles that are placed by the eu, rather than his own parliament. steve, this idea of levelling up, one—nation conservative johnson, conciliation and restoring trust, w

he married and divorced several times. >> it was a void he was trying to fill and he could never fillt. >> in fact, from time to time, he's gone on benders and vanished for weeks at a time. and everybody would worry and wonder and he would show up again. >> i-a t shurlt made up once saying "where is larry mcnabney?" >> but then he seemed to get his life together for real, everything clicked. possibly for an attractive reason. >> i went by the offices one day and he said i have someone i want you to meet. he said this is elisa. >> elisa, 17 years younger than larry. and he was in love. >> and he said she's just fun and vivagss and she's young and it's just dags we have a good time. she didn't stand in the way. she wanted her dad to be happy. >> we welcome the new person in. it's my dad so i didn't want anything inhibiting me from spending time with him. >> and he really cared for this woman? >> he did. >> both thrived personally and professionally. they got married, she became his office manager. they opened up a new business. so they hired a young, attractive college student. the out-

i think he's from my point of view thinskinned he's not compartmentalizing although he will pretend that he is in the is some what he said before he's looking for a split screen and a reality show so the national coverage will have him at his rally while the impeachment vote is being taken in that in that sense there's a kind of circus quality that he brings to what's really a very solemn in serious procedure and a very solemn and serious undertaking that the house is voting on today brenda you were talking there about this the sec is quality allen baron i'm going to bring you in here because you've dealt with a number of impeachment processes and you've seen for federal judges who've been removed from office well 11 resigned but you've been very involved in these processes in the past is this much more of a sack us that we're seeing now than we have previously. well the presidential impeachment is inherently a bigger deal if for want of a better way of putting it's and so it has a lot more potential to become something of a circus the 1st impeachment i handled was of a judge named

he told my dad he didn't know what he was doing.my father grabbed a piece of paper and never went back, went to his grandmother's house and was really upset. this was a depression ridden den family. they had nothing. his grandmother finally said what would it take for you to do this ourselves. he said $300. she walked to the back of the kitchen and reached into the cookie jar and took out $300, gave it to him and said go start your own business so he went to start this business and it started really small. we used to tease him about how small it was because if you look right here, it was so small the post office didn't give it a full mailing address. 453 and a half quart street. that is a pretty small place. he ran his place of business and did well some years and not so well other years. then he went out of business. he opened up a second store and went out of business. six weeks or eight weeks later got back into business but when he went out he made sure nobody lost any money. he made sure he gave all the products he could to the

he claims he's working for the president pro bono. he really is here, i think does not see any problem with the work he's doing. i think the development, this impeachment, and also we should remember the southern district of new york investigating some of rudy giuliani's business ties. i think it's clear he did not expect it to go this far. he's maintaining and i think we can see from the words he's been saying to cnn and the "new york times" and others that he maintains this is proper work that he should have been doing and that the improprieties operate of democrats in congress pushing this impeachment. >> michael warren, thank you. we really appreciate it. joining us now to talk about all of that and all that's ahead, former presidential adviser, good morning to you. let me begin with you and ask you what the american people should expect out of today because most people aren't familiar with the work of the rules committee. it's usually not broadcast across, you know, most television stations. >> right, this is a real moment in the

he believes that if he is in fact acquitted that he will be emboldened by that as he heads into what will likely be a tough reelection year. as you say, andrea, rudy giuliani at the white house again today, we haven't been able to confirm that he was meeting with president trump but he's tweeting, not responding to text messages but he's tweeting there will be more damaging information that comes out based on his travels in ukraine, andrea. >> and kimberly atkins, already our hill team has come back with three front line democrats from tough districts who are saying they are going to vote for impeachment, three who are among those that are being whipped by kevin mccarthy and the republicans who are trying to peel off some democrats who are trying to weak een nancy pelosi hand and the democrats' hand. >> that was the one variable still outstanding, that you have -- >> we were talking tom o'halloran, potentially eight or nine. >> right, as many as eight or nine or at least a handful of democrats, the thought was they would not vote in favor of these impeachment articles when they come

where he is now seeking asylum garage he has recovered and no longer needs crutches but he's certain that his traffic accident was actually an attempt to kill him he finally wants to speak out about his role in the assassination of belorussian opposition figures. 20 years ago 3 opposition politicians vanished without a trace in the belorussian capital minsk among them was the then interior minister your reason. on the evening of may 7th 1909 had parked his car in front of the old fire station in central minsk he left his car and made his way home by foot. according to the testimony of key witness. 2 men followed the minister. 2 further men then blocked his path. he says they were undercover members of the elite sober unit. one then told the police follow us. although the political situation in belarus was turbulent at the time that had been the leading opposition politician and had been determined to stop the country's turning into a full fledged dictatorship his aim was to oust president look. in the mid 1990 s. organized to controversial referenda that effectively consolidated his

though didn't he because he was so good he wasn't a rich man but he was constantly working and he was working on a huge of a of things from designing pageants to designing people's bathrooms as far as his inventions go some of that is disputed a fair amount of that is still disputed while his artistic work is well documented his some of his scientific stuff is not so well documented a german author mathias called he doubts whether he was responsible for all the inventions that are tributed to him and he also says that they didn't all work there is a tank for example which functions by a crank and and echo says that the crank actually means that the wheels turn in the wrong direction ok so let's find out about this side more about this side of leonardo. as something that was brought to our tension in the 1920s by a rover in from town. it was in the early 20th century that the image of labor nardo as inventor which he himself never claimed to be 1st emerged driven by benito mussolini to support his fascist ideology the dictator recast davinci as a universal genius and a leading figure o

i'd be so proud of him if he did and he would probably flourish. >> he never has. >> he would never do it. he's demonstrating a lot of behaviors that i recognize. >> tony schwartz, the ghost writer on the "art of the deal" has said he thinks he's a sociopath. >> i don't know. i'm not a psychiatrist and, you know, i devote -- there's a lot -- look, getting back to the art of conversation i could have called this book howard stern, the interviews, donald is a prominent player in these interviews over the years. and they're fascinating. i think the stellar piece in the book is when you read this back and forth with me being the wrestler, the referee to their wrestling match. >> with aj. >> aj, the columnist for the daily news, and donald trump and they're fighting over a woman, and aj is saying i was in love with this woman, why did you have to take her away from me? i was better in bed than you, let's get her on the phone and compare. she was way more in love with me. aj goes you're a sociopath, you would send her articles where it said you were a billionaire and circle the word billiona

but that's the kind of person he s. he thought it was person -- he is. he thought it was important for me to be there, see my daughter compete and was always willing to go out of his way to make it possible for somebody to be able to participate in an event like that, a family event. and that's what i think about when i think about his retirement, mr. president. i'm sad about his retirement but i'm happy he's going to have the chance to spend more time with dianne, with his family, his children and his grandchildren. i've been lucky enough to get to know dianne as well as johnny over the years and they're just the same. the warmest, kindest, most gracious people you'll ever meet. i know that after years of sharing him with the people of georgia and the american people dianne and the rest of the family will enjoy having johnny to themselves for a while. after all, somebody has to baby-sit those eight beautiful grandchildren. johnny, the senate is losing one of its finest members, but you've more than earned your retirement. and i wish you and dianne the v

when he told his mother that he had never been a homosexual -- when he said he was homosexual, he had never had experiences at that point, i've always thought that in earlier life he was pan sexual, when he later, i will tell you how he got to know each other, went to museum in london we were looking at hipo preponderance >> hippotomus would make a wonderful bed partner don't you think, hipos in the mud, the mud. [laughter] >> but anyway, by this time he was 21, 22 he heads to california, and he has 3 or 4 years of a complete out existence, he's in san francisco and then in los angeles doing residencies, he's in a leather scene, on the fringes of hells angels, in hells angels he's known at dr. squat because he's famous for squat lifting, heavy weight lifting champion, 600 pounds from a squat, he -- he is a fairly opened sexually and involved in the drug scene, he takes every single drug there is and every dose and overdoes, he's in los angeles, on a friday evening he will get on his -- he will take a milkshake of 10 times the amount of speed that would kill you, but he's strong and ge

investigation so he could do what he wanted he could act like he was above the law and if he got caught he would again use his powers to try to obstruct the investigation and prevent the facts from coming out and that's exactly what he did but fortunately fortunately because of the true american patriots who came forward to testify despite the threats by present against the people who worked in his own administration they told the story they on their own produced documents provide uncontroverted clear and overwhelming evidence that president trump did this scheme he put his political reelection interests over the nation's national security in the integrity of its elections he did it intentionally he did it corruptly he abused his powers in ways that the founders feared the most no person in the in this country has the ability to prevent investigations and neither does the president our constitution does not allow it no one is above the law not even the president and one of the concerns and requirements of finding an impeachable offense is there an urgency is there a sense that you have

i think he's sure he frustrated a lot of people who commissioned him to do work he sometimes he took years to finish things sometimes he never finished things he even got you know got slack from the pope the pope got on his case he was employed for 3 years by the vatican and then after 3 years they said that's enough and the pope said of him alas this man will never do and never do anything for he begins by thinking of the end of the work before the beginning so he was in that he was in the torrijos extensive plan a starting and not finishing he was also left handed and there's also evidence to suggest that he was dyslexic and both of these things are associated with 80 h.d. ok but despite all this frustration from people things don't get finished he did get loads of commissions though didn't he because he was so good i mean he wasn't a rich man but he was constantly working and he was working on a huge of a of thing. from designing pageants to designing people's bathrooms as far as his inventions go some of that is disputed a fair amount of that is still disputed while his artistic

so he's -- he's always stewing. but especially about this because as molly said he wants the tri. wants to be exonerated but not just to be exonerated and acquitted. technically in the senate, but he wants defenders to come forward and put on a show and defendim for his conduct. he also wants republicans in the senate to drag forwardan democr give of them a taste of what he feels like he side.enced on the house so he wants chairman adam schiff from the house to be dragd before the senate and questioned by republican senators. wants hunter biden, the forme vice president's son, brought forward into the senate. there's back and forth negotiatio going on right now between the white hou and leader america connell and his office about these witnesses because mcconnell has been opposed to having vnses and thinks it's toois and trump has long wanted some and we'll see over the holidays whether they can findib some equum. robert: well, i think the revvingy thing for theaker here is that she as in many of these cases had aas bit of a dide in her own caucus. liberal democrats would like to

>> he testified. >> i am not asking about george kent. answer this question. did he or did he not? is joe biden a liar telling a story to make people impressed or he actually did this, which is a? >> he did a pursuant to u.s. official policy. >> so he did it withholding actual knowledge, so joe biden is the only one that has done a quid pro quo, the only one who has used taxpayer dollars to threaten a foreign government. we are sitting here pretending this is not happening? we're sitting here pretending that a president of the united states now would not be concerned? is a at it this way, he can destroy himself on the campaign trail but he can't get by this. and it doesn't matter who brings it up, doesn't matter who does it because this is what happened. then you can fly wash it all you want, but that's what it is, either a liar or he did it and he did it. i want to continue on. question is a question that you had earlier. you rely on approximately how many times do you rely on gordon sondland's testimony? in your report? >> nearly a 300 page report. >> would you be amazed if it wa

he's also a friend of mine. he's a great person. he's like an iconic figure in this country. >> reporter: there is a long list of onetime trump allies that have since been written off by the president. just ask trump's former attorney, michael cohen. for now, the giuliani/trump bond seems intact. jason carroll, cnn, new york. >> jason carroll, thank you so much. so why is rudy giuliani still doing all of this, and what's he really looking for? there's a whole lot to talk about. catherine rampell is here, philip bump as well. they're next. i need a ride. here hold this. follow that spud.

he's a living metaphor. he's the bogeyman.tep out of line and you're a traitor in love with vladimir putin and! can we get its picture on the screen? please. the irony is that he does not hate america as much as many of these people do. they call the people traitorous because they're mouthing the talking points of vladimir putin. theyen don't know anything about russia. they don't speak russian. they couldn't identify three cities in russia! the rest of the world isn't that dumb. as demos they may be, not quite that. the french president, he has called nato "brain-dead" because nato exist to provide common defense and yet it has with the fall of the soviet union in 1991, nuclear entity. in the united states, he has said to have closer relationships with russia, not more hostile ones. so does that make him a stooge is he a puppet of moscow? or could he just be rational leader, the kind that we don't have looking out for his country's interest. russia is not america's main enemy obviously. no sane person thinks it is. our main e

at present he got the okay because he went. i have to say i never could have imagined from that moment that he would end up where he was today or that i would end up talking to you tonight about justice brett kavanaugh but here i am and i'm really looking forward to answering your questions about him or the book or almost anything else but the book would be good. [applause] come to the microphone if you would so people can hear your question. hi. thank you for coming. my question is there are a lot of allegations about the actual assaults or things like the devil's triangle that brett kavanaugh actually consciously lied about in the testimony. do you believe if he did and if so why or why not? >> i do not believe that brett kavanaugh consciously lied in his testimony about whether he assaulted christine blasey ford or did any of the other sexual allegations that arose. i think there are arguments to be made about skirting around the truth regarding the meaning of the devil's triangle tour of all the other ridiculous. can you be

he said he's not running for senate. he said he's staying secretary of state. this is one american that's pleased that he picked mike and mike is committed to staying. >> we'll mark that down. ambassador o'brien, thank you for joining us. merry christmas and happy new year. >> thanks jon. >>> coming up i ask senator chris van hollen about the democratic strategy of impeachment. and later the round table looks ahead to 2020. we'll be right back.

he feels like when he's fighting for the people, he plays it like he's got nothing to lose, he feels like the people gave him their votes and he has to deliver on the promises that he made to them in order to get the votes. so he's going to keep fighting. and, look, the president, as you've seen many times, there's a of people who he was fighting with who he's now very close with, whether it's -- think about mexico. everyone thought we were going to go to war with mexico. now him and the president of mexico have a strong relationship, we're working together on immigration, we're working together on organizations. people thought we were going to war with china, half the republican party. the president wants to get along with people but i find that the biggest mistake people do is they think that they want to go on tv and criticize him and same bad things as opposed to picking up the phone, calling him, can i come over and work this out, he's very commercial. he wants to get things done. i believe he's a pragmatist and that's why america is lucky to have a president who wants to get th

a point when he schumere just as partisan as he is? >> pretty effective right now because the public is perceiving this as a political exercise, there's not been the and wrong n here, partly because the democrats are under a time clock problem that got to -- next election campaign. howie: do you think that covers to media coverage, they watch different views depending on their political -- >> extends to viewership, they are already divided. the polls haven't budged much to the whole controversy. richard nixon's day once the house pursued the tapes an got the watergate tapes released nixon's resignation came days later. that's not happening this time because the house democrats don't have time to pursue the -- howie: set calendar for rushing impeachment, different era, different case. the press is kind of breaking with nancy pelosi on this strategy, by in large because they can't figure out what she's doing given her lack of cloud with the senate. >> we all gathered right after the gavel impeachment articles, you can sense tension when

he obviously got what he wanted. >> yes.wanted. [ both laugh ] >> but this time, he almost blows it. up next, mrs. davis's white-knuckle moment. >> let's take it up a notch. >> what'd she pay?

he could act like he was above the law, and if he got caught, he would again use his powers to try to obstruct the investigation and prevent the facts from congress oming out, that's exactly what he did. but fortunately -- fortunately, because of the true american patriots who came forward to testify despite the threats by the president against the people who worked in his own administration, they told the story. they on their own produced documents that provide uncontrove uncontroverted, clear and overwhelming evidence that president trump did commit this scheme. he put his political re-election interests over the nation's national security and the integrity of the elections. he did it spenintentionally and corruptly, and he abused his powers in the way the founders feared the most. no person in this country has the ability to prevent investigations and neither does the president. our constitution does not allow it. no one is above the law. not even the president. then one of the concerns and requirements of finding an impeachable offense s there an urgency or a sense that you have b

he can't write that. >> no, he's trying out in impeachment. he tries it. where he said it seven times, don't call me back. that's literally what he's doing. alking about adam schiff and he's here. greg: yeah. >> is that okay? you don't want to be rude. you want to talk in front of people's faces. i wonder if adam has seen these videos. oddly enough, greg, the president has tweeted out four of them. greg: i think we have one more. let's go for one last one. i think it is adam ordering a pizza. >> and adam schiff tries to order a pizza. >> hey, tony's pizza, what can i get you? >> food please, right away. >> what's your address? >> why do you need that >> are you going to order something or what? >> how did you large cheese. greg: yes, all [laughter] [applause] greg: much more after this. it gets even better. now back to "the greg gutfeld show". have a great night. greg: this year's big craze, mistaken outrage. people got worked up over some stories that at first sounded really bad, but then turned out not to be. so this year we begin with the first annual g

but he's also finally self-pitying. he wants us to really feel sorry for him. he's a victim here.mage being done to him as the kind of embodiment of the nation. so there's very little concern for the country and very little concern for what ultimately is a dynamic that he created. let's not forget he's the one who cooked up this scheme and then set it in motion and then couldn't back off of it. so, you know, he's getting what he's set out to achieve. he's getting impeached. >> wajahat, you say his letter sounds like a conspiratorial rage rant of an authoritarian. >> right. i mean for the -- >> i guess we see why his lawyers never want him to testify. >> yeah. i mean honestly if you were his lawyer, i would say never testify, never tweet. i'm taking away your smartphone. sit in the corner. wait out your presidency until 2020. but for the audiences at home, read the letter as if saddam hussein or gadhafi would have written that letter. just have their voice in your head. or have biff tannen from "back to the future part 2." it's the voice of an authoritarian, a narcissist, a man who

he tweeted my -- he blocked me but he tweeted my article. >> did he really?locked you but tweeted the article. >> it's very special. >> that is. you can -- you should hang that on the wall. >> beyond all this, i'm just looking at one of the basic fact in julia's piece. a third of foreign service jobs be in overseas u.s. embassies and consulates are empty. 20 ambassadorships remain unfilled. we're three years into the administration. >> this was a plan. >> it's unbelievable. >> they said from the beginning the president, his son-in-law said from the beginning, we're going to run the world from here. we don't need people filling these positions. >> and history doesn't matter. >> so we know woody, right? you know woody? >> i don't know woody. >> he's very nice. >> you know woody, right? here's the thing about woody. like, he's a nice guy. he's a jeb guy. he was like, mainstream republican. and now he's acting like a stooge? like, oh, somebody said obama's name? it just shows you how much people are shape shifting because of donald trump's insecurities. i mean, h

because he doesn't like to go back but he makes a difference in front of them goes. it was a new start for him and also for the club finally arsenal spent big $50000000.00 a year is a club transfer record at the time. we're going to be everywhere already the cards are what you are made. to. create. to be one of the leaders. but despite winning trophies with arsenal he could rarely live up to expectations again he became the scapegoat for some fans the same supporters that previously celebrated his arrival. he was shocking the press of. germany and we have never seen. players like measured our modern gladiators when they're performing well thumbs go up when they're having a bad game go down didn't. we always expect a lot from those players and when they're struggling they get criticised more harshly than players in what different positions. as a coach it's important to harness a. gemini coach did exactly that he always believed it was i made him a key player in the national team the 2010 world cup was there breakthrough tournament with brilliant performances in the kn
