the hallmarks and its -- holocaust and its aftermath, starting with it all figment, followed by chris dodd, describing the leaders of world war ii, from letters from his father a leader during the trials. then we'll take you on a tour of the u.s. holocaust memorial museum to learn how the american public and officials reacted to nazi germany's persecution of jews between 1930 in 1945. then later, a look at the documentary on the nuremburg trials that was first screened in germany in november of 1948, but not released in the u.s. until several decades later. next, neil bascomb describes how a tip from a holocaust survivor led to the capture of holocaust war criminal, adolf ike man who then smuggled him to -- for trial. he wrote about the sequence in e

. >> on the democratic side you had a lot of candidates, senators like chris dodd, joe biden, john edwardsll richardson. >> in the end, you thought, well, this is going to be hillary clinton's time. >> for seem time now, it's been no secret that senator hillary clinton would run for president, but today she made it official. >> i'm not just starting a campaign, though, i'm beginning a conversation. >> after six years as a senator, people believe that she has the credentials and the leadership skills to be president. >> i'm in it to win it with your help. >> she got a lot of experience, her husband was a very popular president. she had all the money, all the backers, it looked like a pretty sure bet. >> senator barack obama threw his hat into the crowded ring today in springfield, illinois. >> one thing you could say with certainly about illinois senator barack obama, there's never been another presidential candidate like him. he has a foreign sounding name that rounds with osama, his middle name is hussein and he's admitted to using marijuana and cocaine as a teenager. he's half black, hal

as i mentioned, wall street's making bets on secretary of state being susan rice, chris dodd or of chris secretary potentially hillary clinton, energy and the epa secretary john carrie, jay insley, john pe pedesta, all nas cowen and company is out with this morning. your thoughts. >> when you look at what president trump did to get this economy back going again, there were eight years of a space sluh economy under the obama and biden administration. it's because they are radical people in the cabinet. we were losing great companies and great jobs to other countries like china. we don't want to go back to those days. let's keep growing our economy like president trump has done with low taxes and sane regulations. maria: we'll leave it there and watch to see how this plays out. congressman, it's great to see you this morning. thank you so much, sir. >> great being with you. thanks, maria. maria: congressman steve scalise joining us this morning, louisiana. we will be right back. stay with us. gives us confidence... ...so we can spend a bit today, knowing we're prepared for tomorrow. wow, d

superstitious but he's probably been thinking about this for a long time and really his old allies like chris dodd and folks in his transition team have been going through binders full of names or remember from mitt romney's gaffe and in 2012 but we are seeing a kind of pattern already emerge at least in what's being leaked to the press which are a lot of very familiar phrases faces already from the obama administration and a lot of establishment democrats who have good relationships with joe biden so he's not really reaching out across to the more left wing part of the party we are in seeing this sanders warren wing of the party represented yet and i think you'll see a lot of pressure publicly digitally online coming from the progressives in the next weeks and have we you know as you worked on a bernie sanders campaign in 2016 have we seen any reaction from those challengers who ran against joe biden in the primaries this time around you know bernie sanders worked incredibly hard for joe biden and they do have a good personal relationship and i hope that that's the beginning of kind of a progress

the ideas there are susan rice, chris dodd and chris kuhns as reported in the past.ding on whether or not they get through the senate process. dagen: number one, i'm not a t betting gal but i would put money on roger ferguson being the treasury secretary, he would be the first black american to hold that position. he has an a incredible record of working at tiaa, which they -- trillion dollars of assets under management, took that over, took that job after being at the federal reserve during the financial crisis. he helped with the fed response to the 9/11 terror attacks, he's got three degrees from harvard. he worked at a lawyer even. i would expect him to move into that job in part because he announced his retirement a few days ago, from tiaa. so he's lining up to take -- i would think this position. elizabeth warren is not going to be anything in biden's cabinet. she is a senator from a state that has a governor who is a republican and guess what would happen if a republican governor appoints at least in the short run her replacement? that would put the balance of
