there's been lots of box and memoirs madeleine albright and we have been on panels called new jews of many people who have discovered as adults that they had joyish heritage. >> so, i am wondering as part of your -- the ark of your narrative so far, how did you begin to integrate and make choices about jewishness and jewish life to the life you already have? how do you understand jewish who will a days in how do you understand jewish approaches to biblical narrative and jewishethical values about being in the world. that kind of thing. can you talk about what that is for you? >> for me it's very much been inan evolving process where i pulled on one legging at a time of jewishness and put something over my head and it was -- it's been years to the point where now i am so proud and happy to be be a jew. and very open and but it's been very gradual and taken a lot of processing, investigation and historical searching on my part. >> i am shower this is true for both of you, but do you move through places where you start to relinquish christianity or relinquish things you did that were not

or bad what dr albright they're great at aging action this seven researcher chief science officer and co-founder said his research foundation talking about human bunch of eighty and rejuvenation technologies welcome to the show so some are saying. silver tsunami of aging people is set to hit the global economy by twenty. do you see any major rejuvenation solutions available by that time. i will go further i would say that absolutely this rejuvenation by technology is the only way that we are going to keep the ageing of the population from completely crippling the global economy already we're in a hugely problematic situation of course the difficulty is that the reason why we have so many people who are. elderly now is because number one we are preventing them from dying young because we're really good now at curing infectious diseases and so on but also because they thought the types of thing that people get sick from later in life are slowly progressive chronic problem so people don't die out once the way they do from typical infections will continue to go gradually sicker and sicker

madeleine albright's father was your teacher.ondoleezza: he was the one who got me into international politics. i actually went to du as a piano major, but graduated with just enough units to be a political science major. if you look at my transcript, i have got 100 units of music and 45 in political science. david: all right, so then you went to notre dame to get a masters? condoleezza: that's correct. david: then you went to stanford later? condoleezza: i went to stanford on a one-year fellowship in the arms control and disarmament program, learning the physics of nuclear weapons, how many warheads could dance on the head of an ss 18. i learned something important from that. stanford was looking to diversify its faculty. and it engaged in what i think is a very smart way to do affirmative action. and to this day, i believe affirmative action is still necessary, which means you look outside of your normal channels to find people. they have in their midst a young black woman who was a soviet specialist. and they offered me a job.

secretary of state albright visited the day after the bombing. there was a memorial service held in national cathedral which you and i both were at. it was the president and vice president, secretaries of state and defense. i remember jesse jackson gave a sermon. it was spooky to me, but the date of that was september 11, 1998. prudence: i remember that. john: three years before september 11. prudence: the operations task force, the first question they asked was where are the americans. what is the status of americans. one of the pad's had the number of americans, numbers cap shifting as time went on and they discovered more. it was typical of the kinds of data you will find among people. what is typical after a chastity is the diplomatic immunity at large is that embassies will open up condolence letters to encourage members of the public to write letters or messages of hope. these are some of the condolence folks from our embassies around the world. at the time of the bombing, we had two members of our marine detachment, one killed one injured,

following i watched as janet reno became the first united states female attorney general battle and albrightbecame the first woman to serve as secretary of state condoleezza rice became the first black woman to crown secretary of state and today at the more mature age of older we're seeing a new year of the woman take hold we finally joined forces to take down the likes of harvey weinstein and les moonves. and made sure no one would ever forget the brett kavanaugh is a beer lover first and a judge second we took no prisoners and the dam of female rage resistent respect it's broken so i sat down earlier with some of my favorite women here at r.a.t america scotty and hues of news views hughes those of a question bonilla chan and correspondents are a month or so ago to discuss some of the year's best and worst for women. so ladies when rochelle tweet me when i was elected to her post she took over a seat from chris brooks as a democrat representing clark county nevada and what he did is it changed things pretty considerably in a historic way so in nevada of all places scottie who runs the world

bombing, president clinton called me on the date of the bombing and certainly secretary of state albright visited days after the bombing. there was a memorial service that was held in national cathedral. which you and i were both at and it was with the president and vice president, secretaries of state and defense, reverend jesse jackson gave the sermon and its kind of spooky to me, but the date of that was september 11, 1998. >> i remember that vividly. b three years before 9/11. >> whenever there is a crisis around the world, the 24/7 operation center sets up a crisis task force. the first question that the crisis task force is asked is where are the americans? what is the status of americans? and one of the steno pads has the number of americans as time went on and we discovered more. but this is typical of the kind of data you will find among people in a crisis task force. what is also quite typical after a tragedy is the diplomatic community at large, is that embassies will open up condolence letters to encourage members of the public to write letters of support, messages of hope. an

just been sort of insane to follow the sort of movements that helped get trump a lot to such of the albright online have evolved since then. to see how they've been sort of pushed out and moved to other corners about those layers now. more reporters should be working on this stuff. it's deeply fascinating and sort of terrifying. >> cameron. >> since the book came out, have any of the people in the book told you what they think about it? >> yes, they have. i mean, i feel at the source journalist relationship is one where we keep an arms length and keep it professional. i have gotten a few e-mails and if you hurt tax. but, yeah, i don't know who's the best example to give, but i did hear people sort of say like i don't often read things about readit that i feel are very accurate and i feel like i can say of most points this tells the story which made me insanely proud. there are things i totally got wrong and parts in the book that earns the most precise thing. but there's just a million true things all put together in a very product until the story. it's 12 years of a company's life and all o

more after this to albright, we are at the lowest right now.the so-called smart money. it's in the eye of the beholder a few see someone as a gazillion air and you're worried about interest rates going up in an environment like that. when it's someone like druckenmiller are some of the others warning about whether it's wise to think about raising rates when you combine that with a potential government shut down later in the way, that might or might not drag on for a while and then the concern of goldman sachs and others have raised about potential for a slowdown and not an outright recession. never mind many of those same firms have been wrong about the run-up we have seen. add it all up and there's concern sending docks down about 356 points as we speak. dennis gartman, excellent market read. i should've been in the smart money crowd. dennis, what are you seeing now that the markets have been the past sort of swept off. what are they not sleeping off now? >> what they're not bluffing off is the fact of the site, not that they're tightening mon

madeleine albright has made a lot of money.o how many people do you know were openly working for russia in washington? >> i think your basic point, the chinese are a greater long-term threat to us then russia, i think that's true. i think in the 1970s china had about 1% of the flows of world trade and they now have about 25%. about 2% of the global economy within the decade, they will be equal to the size of the u.s. economy and by 2050 there will be twice the size. i think when we brought them into the wto in 2001 that it would help them play fair and what we have seen since then is that they've cheated. they were certainly manipulating the currency and i don't think they play by the rules. i think one of the things i agreed with the president on was to get tough with china. i think he's right to get tough on china and i think the media ought to focus more on it. it's not as sensational so it's not going to get good ratings on cable television but it's a real problem. the disappearing middle class and is a real problem. it's n

there's madeleine albright, susan rice, et cetera, et cetera.her the benefit of the doubt in this position? >> i'm not going to, actually. i know it may seem surprising. there is a big difference between being -- leading the podium at the state department and then going on to serve as the united states' face at the u.n. there's also qualified people that trump was looking at, including kay bailey hutchison, a nato representative right now. this is more on the lines of mike pompeo making a power play here. i think he wants control over this, wants more control, he's expanding his empire. he and trump as we know, seems to be one of the few administration officials that donald trump still respects and still likes, and hasn't publicly disparaged, so i think this is more along the lines of a power play for him. >> i want to put up on the wall some of the names from the administration that has had problems with this experience problem. ronny jackson, withdrew his name. ben carson, of course, who heads up the department of house and urban development.

>> reporter: they have. 18 years ago madeleine albright asked kim jong-un's father for access to thisor access to other bases. kim jong-il flatly rejected that. they've had a long history of trying to hide these places. >> excellent reporting, brian. thank you very much. >>> coming up, with page after page of blackouts in mueller's latest court filing, what is the special counsellor holding back about his russia investigation? this isn't just any moving day. this is moving day with the best in-home wifi experience and millions of wifi hotspots to help you stay connected. and this is moving day with reliable service appointments in a two-hour window so you're up and running in no time. show me decorating shows. this is staying connected with xfinity to make moving... simple. easy. awesome. stay connected while you move with the best wifi experience and two-hour appointment windows. click, call or visit a store today. and just like you, the further into winter we go, the heavier i get. and while your pants struggle to support the heavier you, your roof struggles to support the heavier m

we see madeleine albright.out the appointment of heath yer nauert. >> there's been discussion of her qualifications and that she is a trusted confidant of the president and he relies on her and believes she'll do a good job. that's fine. but it reflect this is deeper problem within the administration, that diplomacy and foreign policy is basically just talking points. the idea that she can go to the u.n. and deliver the right talking point and somehow that's going to be fine is totally erroneous. the u.n. is about vote counting. it's about negotiations. it is the play ground of intensive russian efforts and chinese efforts to manipulate systems and outcomes in their favor. she has no experience or understanding of any of that. it basically embraces this view that john bolton and others have that international institutions are, you know, something to be totally dismissed and discarded by the u.s. and its diplomatic efforts and it's just a mistake in terms of our weakening our understanding in the world and the a

. >> unquestionably she's not the heavyweight of those in the past, madeleine albright, john bolton.efends the president's goal well, she's an effective spokesman for the state department, she's spent a lot of time with secretary pompeo, she'd be roared to him and that also she's a defender of human rights along the way of nikki haley. that could be something she would follow in her next job. i think people think she's a quick study. >> so she in step with mike pompeo. this position is likely going to be downgraded. >> that's right. initially it was a cabinet na n on. they don't want a foreign policy heavyweight in this job. john bolton has an outside interest in issues like the international criminal court. this could be a way for secretary pompeo to assert himself at the united nations and more on the world stage. and so i think it's a very interesting choice for the president but not necessarily what it says about heather nauert but what it says about what they want for this job, an effective spokesman who defends the president. i think one area she might have trouble in is in the

steves an ambassador under john kennedy, or daniel moynihan there under nixon, or madeiline albrig albrighthere under reagan. you know, normally from a white house standpoint, from a state department standpoint, you're not looking at the u.n. job as a communications job, it's a place where we conduct active diplomacy with nations around the world, and that supplements what happens at the state temperature itsel department itself. i don't see that happening here. >> jen, you talk about jeane kirkpatrick, she was an intellectual power house with extensive writings. is nauert qualified for the role as u.n. ambassador? >> yeah, i think a lot of what david said i agree with. there's no question heather h represents the views of the president effectively, but that's not what this job is. the most important part of this job really happens behind the scenes. because historically, and in recent times, as well, you know, this role has been a person who has really been meeting with other u.n. ambassadors, who often are the highest level right before -- they're negotiating deals behind the scenes and o

. >> overseas tonight, secretary of state madeleine albright spent the day in east africa. >> i went what had happened. basically, still trying to collect the facts. we began to be able to trace that to osama bin laden. >> we will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for. >> bin laden's group is suddenly a real player. and the clinton administration decides to do something about him. >> american military forces struck a series of targets overseas in sudan and afghanistan. >> the unmanned tomahawk missile was the pentagon's weapon of choice for the surprise aerial attacks, aimed at sending a pointed message to accused terrorist kingpin osama bin laden. >> america has battled terrorism for many years. we have quietly disrupted terrorist groups and foiled their plots. but there have been and will be times when our very national security is challenged. and when we must take extraordinary steps to protect the safety of our citizens. >> within minutes of today's attacks in afghanistan and sudan, some in washington were some in washington

and asked independent researchers such as myself -- jonathan albright of columbia, and folks at oxfordthere is a lot of information in this research study. a lot about this disinformation campaign. this russian operationng and infringing on our democracy. a lot of people are saying, because there is so much information, can you kind of go over some of the key findings in this study that american should be concerned about, especially those still ongoing? >> sure. this is a campaign where the people who ran these pages made an effort to really build communities -- americans. created pages that appeal to a demographic interest, or a personal identity. and once they had created those pages, they ran ads to get people to like the page. and after that, they began to communicate with people really building up the morale and the identity --. if it was in lb -- every now and then, they would use that audience not, rotting and began to push propaganda. it is specifically designed to erode support for secretary clinton and -- for senator trump. there was a political component to what we saw in 20

. >> harris: albright, it's puzzling to me how you can talk to some people who might have been on the plane and you come up with the idea that there is no bias. i assume you are saying come in the investigation, both doj and particularly the fbi. i don't know how only the people on the plane would know that, when we know they have been problems leading up to this with text messages shared at the fbi among people and lovers. how many people on the plane would have been privy to that? i don't know. >> sure. i've been a part of the vast majority of these interviews. 17, 18, i've lost count. what i can say is that i have not seen evidence that would materially depart from inspector general horwitz's conclusion that the entire investigation was not politically motivated. one last thing -- she did end up deferring to basically the fbi postrace conclusions with regard to the hilly clinton investigation. not only in july, but also in october when jim comey reopened the investigation. she wasn't part of that decision-making. >> harris: that's part of the reason she probably would have fired hi

previous diplomatic experience and she is a quick learner, and smart and at the same time madeleine albrightr predecessor to her, and susan rice, and others with the diplomatic and foreign policy experience. interestingly, rex tillerson gave one of the first interviewing to bob schieffer in texas, and they are both texans, and he had this context for what it is like, and he asked where did you go off of the rails with this president for whom you did not know. let's watch. >> and the president would say, here is what i want to do, and here is how i want to do it. and i'd have to say to him, well, mr. president, i understand that is what you want the do, but you can't do it that way. it violates the law. it violates a treaty, and he got really are frustrated. >> and is so that is how he fell out with the president. so that is the other question. whether someone like heather nauert can be an adviser who can talk back to the president. nikki haley did occasionally. >> yeah, but this job doesn't necessarily have to be someone who is an adviser. one of the big questions is whether if she is confir

ambassador or all of the big diplomatic figures, madeleine albright, thomas pickering, just think, andrew young, think of the people who have been in that position and this is definitely putting someone in who does not have that kind of stature. >> good time to take our next break. again, both of our friends have agreed to stay with us for just a little bit longer. >>> when we come back, the palace intrigue surrounding another key figure in this administration. the newest round of reporting tonight that a big name in the west wing is out yet again. >>> nbc news is reporting president trump's chief of staff, former general john kelly has been called in and answered several questions from the special counsel. those questions focused on a reported conversation kelly witnessed in march where president trump allegedly asked then white house counsel don mcgahn to fire robert mueller. the report suggests the special counsel is looking into people who've witnessed possible instances of obstruction of justice. this news came hours after four separate sources told nbc news of kelly's departure from

madeleine albright displayed photographs of mass graves. >> there were terrible things going on in bosniat. >> the sarajevo market was crowded with monday morning shoppers when death fell from the sky. >> bill clinton decided to use force. the idea that he would be the american leader who would get nato to participate in its first military campaign was not something that was predictable. >> more than 60 nato jets began pounding bosnian serb positions around sarajevo overnight. >> allied fighters and bombers, most of them americans, swooped down on bosnian serb military positions around sarajevo. >> bosnian government troops are racking up stunning gains in north and west bosnia. >> the campaign will make clear to the bosnian serbs that they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by continuing to slaughter innocent civilians. >> president clinton finally came to the right judgment. we don't have to put a boot on the ground. we don't have to send in our tanks. we can just bomb those bullies. and it worked. >> good evening from paris. this was a historic day for american diplomacy. the

most people who go, adelaide stevenson, the daniel patrick moynihans, madeleine albright are people whosteeped in scholarship or steeped in governmental service. or had been steeped in foreign policy service. she has none of that, and so the concern is, of course, how she will be viewed not just by the people at the u.n., because it's such a deep serious position, but also will she be able without that deep chops to be able to stand up to someone like john bolton or donald trump, or at least speak her mind in a way that suggests strength like nikki haley was able to do. >> nikki haley didn't have all that foreign diplomat experience either, she was a governor of a state. and so you understand a level of government and import and executive decisions and how to deal with that kind of gravity, you give her the nod, and let's be honest, she did an admirable job in the time. how do you feel about this selection? >> nikki haley was criticized by democrats for not having any foreign policy experience, and then she did a great job once she was given the chance. >> again, she was a governor. >>

madeline albright was an ambassador to the u.n. bill richardson.roponte was an ambassador to the u.n. john bolton, as you said. samantha power. susan rice. and nikki haley. they're putting in nauert? >> it's a pretty impressive list. >> nothing against heather nauert. >> i think she did a pretty good job from the podium at the state department but how does that translate, again, to getting 192 other representatives to achieve a consensus? >> but the answer is the president has her trust. we're seeing a merger between fox news and the white house. it's a merger that's good for the president but bad for america. >> thank you both. wisconsin governor scott walker's about to sign off on a slew of measures aimed at cushing the powers of the incoming democratic governor, and republicans aren't even hiding why they're doing it. y s. the new sleep number 360 smart bed, from $999... intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts on each side to keep you both effortlessly comfortable. it can even warm your feet to help you fall asleep faster. h

stevenson as an ambassador under john kennedy, or daniel moynihan there under nixon, or madeiline albrightthere under reagan. you know, normally from a white house standpoint, from a state department standpoint, you're not looking at the u.n. job as a communications job, it's a place where we conduct active diplomacy with nations around the world, and that supplements what happens at the state department itself. normally we call the ambassador to the united nations. help us understand what worltd opinion is like. what would you recommend. in terms of policy. i don't see that happening here. >> jen, you talk about jeane kirkpatrick, she was an whether you agree with policy or not. she was an intellectual power house with extensive writings. is nauert qualified for the role as u.n. ambassador? >> yeah, i think a lot of what david said i agree with. there's no question heather represents the views of the president effectively, but that's not what this job is. that's a small sliver of the job. the most important part of this job really happens behind the scenes. because historically, and in re

secretary albright, secretary clinton, mayor giuliani, ambassador bolton. why do you do that with your politicians? it's weird. [ applause ] i just don't get it. >> seth: you have -- i think one -- obviously this has been an issue based on what happened this week, george h.w. bush passed away. and you wrote an article for "the intercept." basically a full accounting of his record. and one of your criticisms was, when politicians pass away in the united states, the coverage is, sort of, glowing. it's all their best qualities and none of the things they did wrong. do you think that is unique to americans talking about politicians or is it will just the way americans talk about anyone who passes away? >> i don't think it's unique to americans. i know when margaret thatcher died in the uk, the same thing happened. a lot of hagiography. i do think you have this deference to power. your president, to be far, is not just a head of government, but a head of state like the queen and prime minister rolled into one. i get it. and you know, if somebody dies it's sad. w

albright, new reports that robert mueller may be close to wrapping up his russian investigation.ahoo! news' citing sources close to the matter that the special counsel's legal team is "tying up loose ends." this, as robert mueller said to file legal memos. one of public and sitting in on the house judiciary committee, sitting on that committee, responding to these reports saying this seems like a good time for mueller to wrap it up. >> at this point in time, if mueller wants to finish it up, that's what he needs to do. he's been going a long time. the president says there is no collusion, and mueller has got nothing except for commitments on perjury and other things that are outside of this. i think what we will find is the political report is going to come out, he's going to do that, we will see this -- >> harris: kennedy, fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano says there's no way mueller ends this investigation quickly. >> kennedy: it certainly feels like there's a lot less to do. let's watch. >> they have a lot of indictments that they have to try. they have

but most people who go, adelaide stevenson, daniel patrick money hannahs, madelein albright, people steeped steeped in governmental service by being elected or had been steeped in foreign policy service. she has none of that, and so the concern is, of course, how she will be viewed not just by the people at the u.n. because it's such a deep serious position, but also will she be able, without that deep chops, to be able to stand up to someone like john bolton or donald trump or at least speak her mind in a way that suggests strength like nikki haley was able to do. >> nikki haley, as a balance point to you, mike, she didn't have all that foreign diplomatic experience either, but she was a governor of a state, so you understand a level of government and important executive decision and how to deal with that kind of gravity. you give her the nod. let's be honest, by most accounts she did a very admirable job at the time. how do you feel about the selection? >> guess what, nikki haley was criticized for democrats for not having any foreign policy experience and then she did a great job when sh

ambassador under kennedy or daniel patrick moynihan who was there undernism 0 or madeleine albright who or the list goes on, jeane kirkpatrick there under reagan. and normally, from a white house standpoint and in a state department stained point, you're not looking at the job strictly as a communicates job but where we conduct active diplomacy with the nations around the world. that supplements what happens at the state department itself and makes -- you know, normally any administration i've worked with, we call the am bass core to the u.n. & they help us understand what world opinion is like, what would you recommend. in terms of policy. i don't see that happening here. >> yeah, i mean, jen, talking about jeane kirkpatrick, whether you agree with her policies or not, she was an intellectual powerhouse with extensive writings. is nauert qualified for the role of u.n. ambassador. >> i think a lot of what david said i absolutely agree with. there's no question she effectively represents the views of the president. that's a tiny sliver of this job and the most important part really happe

state of maryland he is the director of the east asia and pacific practice at albright stonebridge group a consulting firm based in washington thanks very much for being with us so why in your view is the current administration doing this this is part of the administration's overall attempt to take a very hard line on immigration it's a major part of trump's agenda it's driven by folks like steven miller within the white house view this as an overriding priority and right now there aren't the personnel in places in the trumpet ministration that have real asia expertise in particular southeast asia expertise to push back against those immigration hard liners and why now because they they've been going back and forth on the on pursuing this haven't they they originally decided they were going to do it last year and then they kind of quietly dropped it in august this year and now they're going back to pushing for this now what should we read into the timing of this. well the only real change that's happened since then has been the midterm elections and one of the consequences of the midterm

secretary albright as written on this, what a fascist government looks like, the road to tyranny by timothy schneider and others. we are seeing the attack upon the media as a key element of dictators like to first pursue. attack upon our justice system, attack upon our intelligence community and so this is the breakdown of respect for the rule of law. and for the truth. and that is something that is fundamental to what's going on now with mr. mueller's investigation in terms of all of those surrounding the president, a word of warning, make sure you're loyal to the country and to the office of the president, not to the person who's occupying it. there's a big difference between the two. and i hope those who are serving in public office today, serving the president remember there's a penalty to pay and a very heavy one if you lie, if you simply are blindly loyal, without regard to the consequences and you will face the same kind of consequence that mr. cohen did today and general flynn has, as well, although not to the severity since he is not going to jail in all probability. >> secretary c
