had a good life. i had married a good man. i had four wonderful children. i have a secure life. i was always thinking of my college love missing her wondering what she was doing and wondering whether or not she was happy. when i think about her i convince myself that i would never again be happy and only abide dying and going to heaven would i ever again be happy. so i spent close to 40 years of my life yearning for death thinking of all kinds of ways i could kill myself. eventually begging god to take me right then, that i was ready to go. but all of this changed in august of 1999. at that time i was teaching a lazy sunday school class at a church in downtown -- it was a small class. i hadn't been teaching long and i didn't know the members well at all. one morning i was simply visiting with one of the members. we were sharing with each other information about our families. she began telling me about her son who was an artist and she told me that he was such a kind and awful person especially to his grandmother. and it was about then that i thought came into my mind like a light

rubio, i was a rubio guy but i realized that i was a hypocrite because i opened a speech for trump years ago in which i was probably more grasp than he was and what he was doing adopted the practices that he had learned into comedy central into the arena and he was saying i don't care. he didn't care, if you ran or if i ran, if you're honest, you would run as yourself and that's what he was doing and the other thing i realized was that anybody else who won -- if you think that rubio would be treated any better than trump, you're wrong because he's pro-life, they would have eaten him alive. look at how they treated mitt romney in 2012, because he cut some kid's hair. he put a dog in a roof. i mean, where i come from that's a hood ornament. i don't know what the question was, you asked me a question about truth and i rambled incoherently. donald trump didn't have the truth, right, he didn't have the truth but what he did was coloring in the right circles but coloring outside the circles a lot so he would get things wrong but he picked right circles, you know, i call the sto

now, this was a new era. so i went to the governor mccallister at that time, and is said, we have to do something about getting a public agency to run the port. the governor agreed and he appointed a committee to work on that. then, we lost that effort. that was the first time i have been in annapolis, you could say, politicizing. but that session ended, we started our committee back for 1956. in 1956, we won, we got a the maryland port authority. it was changed later. and here we are. 1956, and july 1, we got a new agency. well, more than local politicians would come around to me and say, now, what do we need to do? and, we would work on things. and during that time the st. lawrence seaway was being enlarged, and i was going back and forth up there, writing stories that indicated baltimore might lose business, will as it happened, baltimore didn't lose business with the st. lawrence seaway. well, a little bit, not much. but again, there were strikes and strikes by seamen, longshoremen, etc. i got to know them a l

i learned a lot. gradually over time, i met different people, read books, , met arthur laffer and jack kent. by this time, i had moved to wall street as an economist. i was very much in the flow, did some speech writing for william e. simon. the former treasury secretary. that was my introduction to political economy. he had read some stuff i had written. i helped him out with a bunch of speeches, including his keynote speech at the republican convention in detroit in 1980. i moved into the orbit of free market supply side of economics. i have been there ever since. >> you mentioned congressman jack kent. how would he view this party today, the republican party, both here in this white house and on capitol hill? larry: i miss him dearly. -- longtime friend and mentor. i think jack would like a lot of this. kent, reagan, those guys were trying to drain the swamp. they were big tax cutters. to grow the economy and stabilize the dollar, limit government, limit regulations. these are things president trump

and i learned a lot from them. i would take the train from baltimore to washington with sit, said on the train -- on the train, listen to them, ask them questions. you ask me if i had a mentor. those were my three guys. helpful in my early days. and as a reporter, they were very helpful. how would you describe the atmosphere of the house when you arrived? was a very welcoming for women? -- was it very welcoming for women? helen: i am going to put it this way, they did not roll out the red carpet. but they also did not shut the door. that is the best way i can describe it. arease their particular that might have been more difficult for you to gain access to because you were a woman member? deals that take place in congress are behind the scenes, golf games, or at the gym. was that an obstacle for you? helen: i never tried any of those. my concern was my constituents. house -- i as the was back in my district, which very few congresspeople can do they are not all in the washington neighborhood, but i was. and i went b

i had never had a senior competition before i graduated from college. so there were a lot of naysayers around me telling me what wasn't possible, that, you know, an olympic team wasn't in my future because i had never been on a cadet or junior team that, you know, i don't have the tactical training or skills to ever make a national team or qualify for an olympic team. so a lot of i feel like my journey as an athlete is kind of about challenging what the people around me think about me. i feel like society tries to put you in a box. even within the fencing community there's this idea that people who excel as kids are are thought of as, you know, olympic hopefuls, and people who don't have a spot on these cadet and junior teams they're the ones that won't make it. they'll fall off. they don't have the skill set to make it. and there's also that layer of -- i don't know if i would, i don't know exactly what to call it. but to be different in a sport that is predominantly white is very difficult. there's a lot of pushback in even wanting you to occupy that s

i got a blackboard. wrote virgin airlines on a blackboard, and i wrote $39 one-way and i went to all the other people who were bumped, and i filled up up my first plane. when we handed in the bbi, a passenger next to me said you ought to sharpen up your service a bit and you can be in the airline business. i thought, okay, so i rang up boeing, and i asked if they had any secondhand 747s for sale. we started with one secondhand 747. but we were against british airways, with 300 plus planes. british airways launched a dirty tricks campaign against us. they did everything they could to drive us out of business. we took them to court. we won the biggest damages in british history. we redistributed it to all of our staff equally. and so every year we hope british airways will launch a dirty tricks campaign against us. david: people like the fact that you are the against the establishment airline. one time i read that what is now called the eye, the big ferris wheel in london, british airways was supporting it

a i was, like, i have to date her. [laughter] d and, you know, it was -- it took me a long time to find out who she was. she had just moved to the area. i heard she'd been in a motorcycle accident, and that was not i true. finally, i, you know, got herfi number and called, and we had -- we went to lunch, because luncho is easy. if it's not working out, you're out of there in an hour. we went to the h old nathan's in georgetown, and we sat at a booth, and we were will there for three hours. andth i remember before i met b, i had a friend of mine, michelle, a lawyer i work with, and i walked in my brief case and had, like, nine ties in the briefcase, which one do you think, you know? because i want to make a good impression. to michelle for the tie i picked that day.mp we hit it off, and is we dated for a couple of years, and we just celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary yesterday. >> host: congratulations. and you have two kids. what did theyy end up doing with their lives? >> guest: our daughter is totally in the not f

i thought what you need is a rubio, i was a rubio guy. but i realized i was a hypocrite. i opened a speech for trump years ago in which i was probably more crass than he was. and all he was doing was adopting the practices he learned from comedy central into this arena. he was saying, i don't care. and if you ran or iran, if you're honest you would run as yourself and that's what he was doing. the other thing is that anybody else if you think rubio would be treated any better you're wrong. his pro-life, they would've eaten him a live. look how they treated mitt romney. because he cut some kids here. he put a dog on a roof, where i come from, that's a hood ornament. but my point is, i don't know what my point was yes me a question about truth and i rambled incoherently. donald trump did not have the truth but, what he did was coloring in the right circles but he was coloring outside the circles a lot. but he picked the right circles. i call it the stool of one order. he had please, national security and borders. he just said you could've been found on the statistics but he

but i think i can be a good joke, i can get a good job i like to be thought of as someone who's a good friend. loving father and caring husband. those are what i like to be thought of. i think that the folks that are friends of mine on both sides of the aisle know that if i'm your friend, i'm going to fight viciously for you, i'm going to care about you and be there when you need. and that i want to help those when i can. i want to be the best person i can. i think i'm someone who learns a lot and it falls meaning that i make a mistake i want to make sure i don't do it again, that i learn from and i talk about this in the book, people ask me all the time do you have any regrets? really i like to answer that is not a good learner and i learned from my mistakes and i tried to be a better person every day both personally and professionally. >> so with that, one of my favorite moments in the book, you talk about having this period where you were going nonstop and you decided to take an ambien because you are going to go to sleep. and i got a chill. and yes of course after you do that you g

so this was a problem all the time. i mean, he is a wonderful idea man, he thinks -- he's full of ideas, but that got him in trouble because he would change his mind. so after -- you know, it got to be very frustrating, very frankly, and he knew it. i mean, you know, obviously he knew it. but that's why the effort started to have him not be speaker anymore because it was just very difficult. he wasn't leading in the way he should have been leading and it was hard on the other members of leadership, too. >> what was your role in that, communicating with the freshman members, the newer members? >> well, i was very involved in that and it was challenging. you know, a lot of us felt very strongly about what was going on and change needed to happen, some of the others didn't and so there was -- there was always this undercurrent of, you know, trying to do things the right way without it being what ended up being called a coup. it really wasn't planned as a coup. that wasn't at all part of what it was. it was a lot of people fr

i knew i wanted a large guy. i want him to have this enormous presence, , and committing prest even though he's not really intimidating guy. i knew he would be a football player, and that was the source of the brain injury. which is all too prevalent these days especially in sports, football. a lot of the players i loved growing up watching, they are either passed away or in wheelchairs, dementia. at 60, they are totally gone,, their brain is gone. i wanted to write a story worth character scrapping with those issues as well. had this large presence and then build them a mental detective h this unique feature about being able to unforgiving thing. but all the other package. he doesn't pick up on social cues anymore. it's hard for them to relate to people. as the detective that can be difficult. on one hand he is a superpower, perfect memory. on the event it's difficultly to people which is a downside for detectives. a choice of struggle but struggles innately traumatize this thing and raises the stakes and makes p

>> i have a comment. it may be appropriate for me to start, simply because i'm not prepared, nor am i qualified to drill down as far as someone like staff who occupies professional positions with this or someone like francesca who i learn from every time i talk to her. i can't say from 30,000 plus perspective that if we will arrive at the best possible outcome, we will do that without being influenced by political considerations or special interests or anything else. what i mean by that is the decision that we make here shouldn't be connected to anybody's next election. it should not be connected to our, you know, tax or the chamber of commerce where the bay area council or any of those things. full disclosure, i represent the construction industry. we would love nothing more than to build that plane. and not only that, but the mandate that we have locally about building 5,000 new affordable units each and every year. i personally love san francisco. i am a fifth generation native. the fact that we are sti

i don't want to invoke. a terrible mistake in the end you may see those you could be wrong because you think people. will believe it you're going to explode could be asleep and i managed to dilute. the kind of. every one of them you me you me down but i gave you one of. the most he says uncle shall get my will not by your grandma what you tell me that you'll. be able to read i'm ready. to give a little you know. you tell me about it i'm going to say do. you know that there's a game to let me be easy will you enough i mean if you live in it was a little bit. to get you to believe. you. yeah comin so i know i'm a danger to his hand in front of them and then i'm going to end up. a. gun and someone to lead our way i live gong gonna have last time i had a similar i am the idea the and i know it. goes to the. d.n.a. me she's in my. home by going to. the. fact that they were there and they. said on a. chair and asked her was her. face in your mental body face if ok well no i don't know so you're going to be here miss

, a power issue i think. along those lines you mentioned earlier on this hour, we are still not a year away i don't think from the marines scam. in the midst of which are seen at the training and what that public facing discount of coming forward, what argument is to be made for bringing the next round of female recruits? if you are a young woman looking to join the military, why you consider the marines over the army? >> guest: you just gave me goosebumps. i wrestled with this question everyday. when we were talking earlier, we love the marine corps. and people who look at change agents and people who say that we need to change things for marine corps, a lot of times we are negatives, seeing as i have. the problem is that if i'm in woman is looking for opportunities, talent goes with how is appreciated. it's not like women are stupid. we are going to go where we think we will make the biggest impact and is probably not going to be in the service that doesn't welcome them into the fold. i wrestle with that eve

that is a good question. i feel like one of my biggest frustrations recently is talking to people who say i'm colorblind and i'm a political person. i come from good intentions but i am trying to just see the person. but i think what i have learned over the years and reading about the history of this country m the way racism and misogyny that if you are colorblind then you are straight up blind if you are a political event it is extremist in its own right but the reality that it is so imbalanced based on the way that they look that there is such profound obvious imbalances. so to look at these american promises of the quality we are taking a second. i would tell my hypothetical children given a lot of books about history or how things actually happen and how central their voices are to that just read and be fierce. [laughter] >> is racial groups and gender groups so delving into the common experience. and that enthusiasm i hear that you are addressing. that education depends on the tone. so it depends on how it

sit, i am a woman, i am a woman of color. i sit from a place of privilege. i don't know how many times i will get to say that, or how many times you will hear somebody in my position say that in sports. i'm part of probably the most diverse part of the sports industry right now. my player membership has got to be the most diverse in sports. i think i sit from a place of privilege, because it looks and feels different for us. i think our fans are probably the most diverse in the sports industry, also. i'm talking anecdotally, i have not done the research. i would imagine i am close to accurate on that. sponsors, the fan base, the stakeholders, i think they look at it differently. differently then perhaps another sport. i think they understand where the players who happen to be women in my sport are, and they understand and align a little bit easier with the issues that are important to them. they get it. it hasn't been so much of an issue. there might be teams out there who will say when the players took the stance on black lives matter, or they took the stanc

and i did have a chief of staff in the district was a good friend that i had had a while. that is why i kept my chief of staff in the district. to me it wasn't her that he be there and beady eyes and ears when i wasn't. but for my office appear we had women. and there are more of them now than there used to be. here,e first came up there were not many women chief. so that has improved. >> we are coming up on the end of our time, we wanted to ask if retrospective questions. one, you retired in early 2013. why did you decide to retire whencongress? rep. myrick: i first came here, again, nancy johnson you will know what it time to retire. sage advice. i knew. two reasons, mainly. one, i felt i wasn't ineffective. thatldn't get people -- sounds terrible, people just weren't willing to work together, which is what i had always tried to do a cross party lines. interparty, whatever it is. really pulling people together it just wasn't happening anymore. everything was so divisive appear. it was like i found myself being unhappy. the last couple of years it wasn't happy here. i woul

like i said so in a coma i let enough. when they got us a little way they said to her here they got this. for us. thank you thank. you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank. you. i'm going to meet them but i was. going to get you. going ok i'm going to hide i am a bus company and i'm up on how they. showed today get i think with that door nobody's. going to do i go home you know maybe i'm probably be able to be i'm mad ok so you thought oh oh if i do you. end up ok i don't show i'm ok and i think i was my gosh. know that there was. i mean it was over and you know. you. said it i mean didn't you just insulted and you took a well yes it is a. little bit you don't have any you know oh that's a good all day and they are going back to having me on the right. thank you. thank you thank you. thank you but you cannot see behind me. i saw and i can you show us a. deal and i didn't go to the i saw he. was going. to go to you don't you will be believe. me why. am i supposed to make you eat when you and i think i can do and the

and i wanted to be a missionary. i wanted to help. those desires or motivations drove me early on to want to go to college. i majored in biology, with the to medicalgoing school. i got a masters degree thinking that i would go to medical school. , i got a traditional acceptance to one, and i got married and that was the end of that opportunity. mr. wasniewski: just so we have at the record, what was your mother's name and what was the name of the high school you attended? my mother's name was joseph e martin mcpherson. i was born to josephine and thomas mcpherson. i was born in savannah, georgia. my father was an insurance salesman all of his life that i knew of and the manager of a company. we moved from savannah. for aher taught school few years, but i did not know her as a teacher. most of my life, i knew her as a dressmaker. later in my life, she became the superintendent of an orphanage. -- myy mother and father father did not finish high school. he went as far as the seventh and the eight grade. we used to say h

i think i needed to try to become a better soldier. i think -- thought i wanted to go with the infantry. i signed with the infantry at fort benning, georgia and i worked with the basic training unit. in this basic training unit, my duty at that time was a type of course where they are flying live ammunition over your head. machine guns locked into positions to fire way above your head. i did this for some time. i kind of became bored with that, also. there was an organization at that time called the army special forces. i decided at that time frame that i might this try this -- just try this. i headed to volunteer for special forces. i volunteered to be a paratrooper. i volunteered again for the army, to do this. i was selected to try to become a special forces member at that time frame. this required about a year and half of their extensive training , not only the physical aspects, but the mental aspects, also. >> you get this training and you end up in vietnam for the first tour, which was relatively mild. >> the forest -- first tour

all the time am a but i never made a phone call. i have never called government employee or a person and ask them to look at, help, solution, move forward, pass any transaction. i will challenge anybody in the room to find someone in the government who says i ever called and asked for a favor because i have never done it. talk a little bit about trump's relationship with jeff sessions. he has been tweeting a lot about him, saturday and yesterday. is it productive? some have questioned whether with actingf tweets innocence -- what do you make of it? what does sessions have that prevents trump from -- if he wants him to resign, what does he want, and when i just do it? what does sessions have that prevents them from doing that himself? mr. lewandowski: jeff sessions is a very honorable man. i know him well, an early supporter of the campaign. he endorsed the campaign. the president's frustration with the attorney general that he never told the president after he was appointed that he would recuse himself from this investigation. when t

i was from a close-knit family that used to live in this neighborhood, but when i was a child i grew up far from here in a small town and i think the difference between the fate-- we talked about this. i grew up in-- i had a lot of guidance and she did not at a young age and unfortunately was guided by the wrong hand, which you will read about in the book and to me yes, this is a book about individuals who are incarcerated and we definitely need to be raising awareness about what's happening, but dan and i would have a lot of late night conversations when #need to was first happening and he's like the world is finally ready for this book. i felt like for me it was an opportunity-- i put my heart and soul into every one of these books as if it were my own life story. i always say when ike zero right i'm like an emotional surrogate like i'm bearing the journey with you. that's how seriously i take it, but this is a book about women and for me to get to tell some version of my own truth and it to be a conduit for donna's truth it's like-- and we can change the world, but we can only chan

>> no, i flew. >> in a -- >> well, one time i was in a huey, we got shot at. but mostly i went in an airplane. >> okay. how about your daughters in vietnam, how were they? >> stevie was -- had a team and margaret had a best friend that they had kind of a compound and so the children came to our house or to -- what would you say? i mean, you all -- >> stevie had the cheerleaders. and just wild teenagers is what they were. >> okay. >> all the -- then she was in love with karl and all of the vietnamese children, there were 32 of them in the back. >> wow. >> and they would go in and watch her. poor stevie used to -- didn't you watch her flirt with karl? >> yeah. they had -- >> they painted a room this horrible red and black, but anyway, it kept them busy. >> right. now, tell me a little bit about your red cross work. >> well, that was -- that was my -- really i did it almost from the time i came -- i was married and i worked and i worked -- well, i worked in vietnam. when i went to hawaii, i couldn't work as much but i always worked at ft. campbell and every place

about a lot of people i think that it was not to have a moral import i don't have a specifically i know you don't i don't think he's a particularly heavy sinner what he said about on the plane that time with that wouldn't been bother you mean the private tape about the groping women didn't madea i'll tell you why why this is a very important reason what people say privately is of no interest to me and it does not assess their character and there's not a sense that a record carry each when he used to work kike regularly then that saying that israel's life so that's ok totally i don't give a damn what people say privately as a nigger sitting referred to jews right rather than cry because yes didn't bother you not correct i don't believe graham acknowledge that nixon saved israel's life in the young kid so it didn't matter what he thought of jews you damn right that's correct then as you're a moralist you're a hypocrite i'm no i'm not i am a moralist wait let me ask you a question if we had a tape of everything you've ever said privately would you come out to be saintly or and i would not
