we are moving forward and i am confident we will win. >> why should the american public believe these allegation allegations? >>. >> there have been a lot of people calling in to testify under oath if there is another occurrence most don't want to do that because once they realize they have to be under oath and there is potential criminal penalties. so we have two people here. a different version of what has happened and we need to listen to them both and make a decision. that is what we are here to do. >> i do believe he will be confirmed, yes. >> you don't have women making decisions. >> i'm looking for the truth. because you are disqualified. and as i said earlier and then to be at a respectful and professional way not a political sideshow put on by the democrats we ought to take everyone seriously. as a way to evaluate and the other people who know anything about this. and the other people who know anything about this. speed nine. >> good afternoon everybody. thank you for being here and i

how did the american public feel about that? >> they agree there should be cameras in the court. 64% support cameras in the court for televising oral arguments, and it is a serious issue. it is not because the public has a right to know where people are -- it is hurting the institution because they are looking elitist when they say what we do is too complex for you to understand, and it gets mischaracterized. people do not care to hear that. forhe survey was conducted c-span. we appreciate your time. thank you for walking us through it. >> this weekend, flagstaff ourona with the help of cable partners, we will explore the literary life of flagstaff. located 80 miles south of the grand canyon. today at 7:00 p.m. eastern on book tv, the book "grand canyon: a history of the national wonder and national park." >> a quarter of the way into the grand canyon, is start 70 miles east of here, and goes to hundred miles to the west. right here is where the canyon starts to widen and deepen and turn into the classic views you see in most ph

how does the american public think about that? >> they agree that there should be cameras in the court. 64%. it's a very serious issue. it's not because of public having to have a right to know. it's actually hurting the institution because they are .ooking elitist look back at some of the major events this past month from the australia parliament, including the removal of the prime minister. this is 30 minutes. ♪ hello. a look with the latest edition of the australia

the consensus view in the american public was that world war i involvement had been a mistake. it should not be repeated. i think fdr, in many ways shared that opinion. i don't think he was eager to get involved in the war, certainly not initially. what happened over time, especially after dunkirk, the fall of france in the spring of 1940, he became increasingly certain that american security required an allied victory and a nazi defeat. the question was, how do we play a role in that? most americans agreed with that. they wanted the british to win , they wanted to the nazis to lose. they also did not want the americans to fight it. how do we serve that goal, the allied victory, and preserve our independence as a nation and not become indebted to the british empire and its survival? that is truly what the debate is about, how to serve the national interest in a broad sense, how do we also preserve our independence as a nation and our independent actions? so what fdr's doing during this entire period is trying to convince the american people to do more to aid the british. but as

my colleagues talk about what our duty to the american public is. our duty to the american public is to evaluate a candidate on their body of work. but we're not being able to do that why? it's unprecedented to think that this committee has ceded its role to a partisan outside lawyer. here we're about to go forward with just 10% of this person's record to evaluate. to base our questions on, to investigate. 90% is being withheld. just common sense would say that that's not fair, that's not right, it undermines our ability to do our job. it is just plain wrong.lisa ric. >> thank you very much. chairman grassley, senator feinstein, members of the committee, i'm really honored to join lisa blatt and rob portman in introducing brett kavanaugh in the hearings to consider his confirmation as a justice of the supreme court of the united states of america. my personal relationship with judge kavanaugh goes back 17 years to our time as white house colleagues in the administration of george w. bush. those are remarkable times and i loved serving. they were, ho

charles: i don't think it will make the american public happy. ould have a lot of nerve saying they don't like tariffs. they can never fail. they can wreck americans. you know, to me they have a lot of nerve and would look terrible lobbying on behalf of president xi. >> the president's tactics have been work in terms of retaliation. when it comes to the tit for tat in tariffs, china has run out of ammunition. we are seeing china is not imposing tariffs an retaliate against american companies because it wants their business. and it won't retaliate because if it does that too drastically then the agenda to get positioned. what are they going to do? i think this is a sign things are work. our business leaders coming over there, they want the same things the trump administration wants. they want more access to the chinese market. they want china's intellectual property theft to change. i see this as a potential opportunity to negotiate a win-win for both. charles: there was news out today, bowing. they always do that 20-year outlook. the orders have c

when he said build the wall, we know this, the american public knows it. oved from the middle of the pack of 17 candidates to number one. it carried him across the line. this is the most important issue we're facing to most of americans. look, our economy is robust. it's growing. we've done the tax reform and the regulatory reform but because we haven't built the wall, we can't say we kept our promises. we've got to keep our promises, the border wall is job one which is why i introduced my bill and i talked to people in my conference. lou: without a wall, you guys stand for nothing. >> that's right. lou: and you know that, and you've been saying it yourself. >> yeah, yeah. lou: and this president has done everything he can to get that done, and frankly, just so everybody understands, mitch mcconnell and the establishment gop, the rhinos, and paul ryan have decided to destroy the republican party in these midterms, and it's nothing short of that, and there you have it. >> lou, let's talk about one other aspect of that. when president trump talks about a shut

were really trying to do more than use this moment to attack trump was use it to inspire the american public. >> and you watching the coverage yesterday you see the rows and rows of names and faces that we know in politics, certainly the case, but also we noticed that ivanka and jared, they were there, they attended the funeral and according to the "new york times," ivanka was asked to attend earlier in the week by senator lindhcy graham, who had cleared his invitation with the senator's widow and that he invited ms. trump before she expressed her condolences to her during a meeting on capitol hill. how do you think it played out and do you think there was hesitation on the part of ivanka and jared kushner to maybe not attend? >> well it's hard to say what they were thinking, but obviously they decided to come, and if it was lindhcy graham who invited them, that is another sign of lindhcy graham's role in trying to play a little bit of a bridge between the white house and the senate and some other republicans. that was not necessarily a role that john mccain, his dear friend, would play or w

safe, doing the things that give the american public confidence in the system, regardless ofrsions that have been made. i'm confident they will follow these leads and try to do what's right. getting down to the truth so that there's not more questions rather than answers at the end of this is critically important. so the american public has confidence in the judiciary and the people that sit on the bench. >> and you're basically echoing what james comey wrote in this piece. he says despite all the lies and attacks there really are people who just want to figure out what's true. the fbi is full of them. paul, i have to ask you about the crucible in which this is happening. we all know well the back and forth that's taken place between the fbi, the department of justice and this white house. how does this effect this if not directly atmosphere clee as this investigation concludes? >> the fbi has 35,000 employees, it remains for all of its problems the world's best law enforcement agency. so, again, if it's allowed to do what it normally does which is to follow leads, then the t

how does the american public feel about that, and how is that changing? >> they absolutely agree that there should be cameras in the court. 64% say they support cameras in the court for televising oral arguments, and it's a very serious issue, and it's not actually because of, oh, the public has a right to know or, you know, people are feeling, oh, it's not cool, my taxes pay your salary. it's not that. it's actually hurting the institution, because they're actually looking elitist, essentially, when they're saying, what we do is too complex for you to understand and it will get mischaracterized. people don't like being told that. >> adam is a senior strategist with psb who conducted the survey for c-span. we appreciate your time this morning. thanks for walking us through it. >> thank you. >>> c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies. and today, we continue to bring you unfiltered coverage of congress, the white house, the supreme court, and public policy events in washin

>> the american public will judge that. but come up with a report.: what happened to those ethical attorneys who should have the sense to call this the nonsense and and the corrupt special counsel? >> you need someone other than rosenstein who has a stake in the . lou: what about alan dershowitz, legal professor, scholar of law and how about your standing? should not the special counsel. right now? >> i think it would politically backfire. ethically, it would make sense to take rosenstein off the case right now as a conflict of interest becomes lawyers have the opportunity, if they choose to, to go into a court and seek recusal. lou: this is more than a conflict of interest. if a confounding fact and integrity it's in the guise of a special counsel. >> in america will judge them harshly, as they did with clinton. lou: do think it's hypothetical? >> but it backfired for the republicans. lou: let's focus on this. should be disputed now? >> rosenstein should be taken off the case. he should be recused. lou: that as close as we get. thanks so much for al

they're concerned i think the american public is upset for the most part of the direction the country should go and i think they realize that a lot of things that are being told are not necessarily that. we're not getting the help through what i did a story we need to control the narrative of how do you do that you know you threaten sanctions you. you basically have to essentially that's what this executive order doing it to controlling the narrative controlling not just the you know not just changing abode which is never happened in the u.s. but it's actually. the narrative that's being debated out there that may be counter to the official direction or picture word of the government or a political party all right thank you so much for and signed that was earlier rasmussen executive vice president of the eurasia center. but i'm important revealed on wednesday that moscow has identified the two man suspects hosted by the u.k. of poisoning this crap also with a nerve agent back in march the russian leader is speaking in light of all stocks said that the alleged hit man are civilians and

saying the job of the committee is "to serve as fact-finders, to better serve the american public, and the weight of the government should not be used to destroy the lives of witnesses who come forward to testify." but the big question tonight remains, will christine blasey ford appear at all? what if professor ford doesn't show up? >> we need to plan this around her schedule. if there is any belief that this is a woman who has endured a sexual assault, has put herself out there, is prepared to come and testify before the american public about one of the most powerful, potentially, people in the united states government, you would think there would be some level of sensitivity. >> mary bruce back with us live tonight from capitol hill. and mary, so many pointing to the very personal questioning of anita hill so many years ago. you showed just a moment of it there, about her allegations against then-nominee clarence thomas. but many senators know this is a much different time, a much different era now, and many of these senators are up for re-election. the stakes leading into the midter

by the time a gun, two thirds of american public was for it. he was not perfect. those have been just as good. stood up and talk to the american public about what was going on and why it is important. , the congressat can't do it, governors and mayors can do it, only the president can provide that leadership. >> i would at one other point. i agree that trade agreements have to be sold in the first instance. the strategic underpinning of these agreements can't be ignored. a case in looking for point, think about china's issue. in can characterize it agreements, trade, and other forms of agreement with various central asian countries. the economic point of the exercise is limited. the point of the exercise with china is also the creation of a landmasshina centric with distribution outlets for china's manufacturing overcapacity. andell as a political security outlet because china's security interests follow trade flows. aw, when you talk about plural lateral agreement with asia or europe, which hopefully china would join, but first things first, how would you sell th

public. >> i will have my version and they will have their version and the american people will decide it. >> reporter: once adamant that mueller must wrap up the investigation before the 2018 midterm -- >> then we have a very, very serious violence of the justice department rules that you shouldn't be conducting one of these investigations in a 60 day period. >> reporter: giuliani now admitting that he has no idea what mueller's time line is. it is customary for the justice department prosecutors to go quiet for 60 days before an election, but it is up to u.s. attorneys to ensure they don't take over investigative steps that could impact an election. as the investigation stretches on, trump continues to rail against the justice department. >> these people are angry. >> reporter: especially one of his favorite new targets. >> i think bruce ohr is a disgrdi disgra disgrace. >> reporter: he met with mr. steele who compiled the dossier. ohr testified this week that steele told him at a july 2016 breakfast that russian intelligence believed they had candidate trump over a barrel, according to

this is another quote an interesting aspect of this they the american public won't find any sanctions until they're actually imposed is there a fear that there's a lack of transparency there that that may be a cause for concern to you. sure and that's another problem with these things is that they they typically. don't get covered for a long time what the what particular abuses are and by the time they're discovered a lot of damage can be done you know ultimately this stuff one step in the courts and you know hopefully they get thrown out but like i said you know a lot of damage can be done in the meantime and also that you start to get a lot of self-censorship you know some people will say well you know i could get in trouble for this so i won't do it is there anything to be said about the timing of this you know the why do you think donald trump a sign the order not the midterm elections are what coming up and a couple of months time closer than not the driving factor is all of this your thoughts on the. well there's two things that work one is that there are members of congress i t

concerns about information and background on judge kavanaugh that hasn't been made available to the american public and push that forward. currentlye do we stand on the completion of a farm bill? guest: the senate farm bill, i worked hard on the bill. i think it is a strong bill and would help farm country and rule america -- rural america. we are in conference committee out differences. there are differences around commodity programs and conservation programs. we really need a bipartisan bill likely past out -- passed out of the senate. i just talked to some minnesotans who remind me they are struggling, especially with the retaliatory tariffs. they need a farm bill. host: 20 think the resolve will be? guest: there could be good resolve on the democratic and republican side because farm issues have been traditionally bipartisan. we don't have many days to get this done before september when the farm bill expires. the good thing is that the funding will continue through the end of the year. we do have time, but it will peak rate to get this done -- it would be great to get this done in the next cou

way that is nou do it in way with lot of respect that's what everybody, i think that's what the american public wants to see. >> dickerson: all right. now on to the business of next week. on the question of iran, i spoke with the british prime minister on friday who said the deal is working, that the u.s. has removed itself from that the u.k. and rest of the signatories are going to still do business with iran. does that mean they will face sanctions from the united states >> they have a decision to make. our decision was that hundreds of billions of dollars was going into iran and in return they were having ballistic missile testing they were selling arms to terrorist fighters. they were basically continueing to support terrorism, what we said we're not going to give you money to do those bad things. the europeans have a decision to make. and i think that decision is already being made. if you look, they are dropping business from iran left and right. iran's economy is plummeting and it's because they can't continue to sustain this. yes, we will have decisions to make in terms of whether they

the american public has the right to make that judgment because this man will be on the supreme courtor 30 years. john: big deal. >> but so is the rod rosenstein thing. we have to make sure he testified under oath and the american public have to see whether he is telling the truth when he said he did not try to invoke the 20th amendment and did not want to wire the present. that's a big deal to. john: honor to have you on. thank you for your time. take you to the markets. our own connell mcshane is on the floor of the stock exchange. >> records continue with the dow jones industrial average at eight of nine sessions for the upside today. strength in the economy as a theme of writing concerns about a trade war people might have. the s&p 500 did share weaknesses into the close today but in terms of where we found the strength there were a number of places and will highlight the high crime stocks. talking first about the american airlines. they became latest to raise baggage fees which consumers might not like it but it's good for the bottom line. delta, united and jetblue going in that

. >> the trade policy that we can keep the american public believing in the necessity. >> so i want to try to pull together your two questions. the first answer, is this long term or short term trend quick and what you see going on currently in seattle 1989 without globalization cancun 2003. you can go back to the doha round for any of us that were involved. and when you tie that two jobs and manufacturing that us manufacturing output today and over the last seven decades has gone consistently up. and add a growing pace year after year with fewer and fewer people. however there is additional value added in each of these things we are making. with the digital side of the equation. we talk about agriculture and trends associated with that. so if you look into the implications of the value added manufacturing, in fact in the era of supply chain , move around with the knowledge intensity of capacity to be there. so that free flow of education there is a lot of moving parts that would enable the us economy to continue to fly with the challenge in terms of the rules we stopped writing global

passed,ime we got nafta two thirds of the american public were for it. because the president of the united states, he was not perfect, stood up and talked to the american public about what was going on and why it was important. that, governors can't do it, only a president can do it. >> i would add one other point. i agree that trade agreements have to be sold. the strategic underpinning of these agreements can't be ignored. inyou are looking for a case point, think about china. it,could characterize that's not the point of the exercise. exercise, china is also the creation of a sino centric landmass. with distribution outlets for china's manufacturing, as well as political and security outfits because china security interests follow its trade flows. when now when you talk about a plural lateral agreement with the rest of asia or with europe, hopefully which china would join , how would you sell that yucca -- that? once you get over the economic hurdles, it is real bad news. strategiche importance to the united states and to our national security and ult

>> well, the accountability -- you know, the american public wants to know a lot of things all the time. we can't provide them with everything, but we try to give them a window into the thinking and the operations of the white house. the presidents want to keep as much information back as possible, we want to get as much information that we think the american public wants. one of the things that is interesting about this particular president that i haven't heard other journalists say this, but i say this, i say people criticize donald trump for using twitter so much. as a journalist you should love it because you get the president's thinking every single minute that you never would get with any other president. >> the difference is that you can't then ask a question or counterchallenge that in any way and that's probably where the tension comes. >> yeah, that's where the tension comes because we get the information, here is his position on whatever it might be at that particular moment, we can't question him directly on that, again, but nonetheless, we still get a chance somewhere else

and the american public knows it, too. the american public thinks the supreme court treats corporations more favorably than individuals compared to vice-versa by a 7-1 margin. 49% of americans think corporations get special treatment there. let's look at where you fit in. a republican political operative your whole career who never tried a case. you made your political bones helping the salacious prosecution of president clinton and leaking information to the press. as an operative in the second bush white house, you cultivated relationships with insiders like nomination guru leonard leo, the federalist society architect of your court nominations. on the d.c. circuit, you gave more than 50 speeches to the federalist society. that looks like auditioning. on the d.c. circuit, you showed readiness to join the roberts with big political wins with republican and corporate interests. unleashing special interest money and protecting corporations from liability and helping polluters pollute and striking down common sense gun regul

president obama stood with dignity and brought to the attention of the american public things we neededa profound way. and one of the things was this is not normal and we should become accustomed to this. it is not the way it is. >> well, right on that. president obama certainly back on the campaign trail with the time we are seeing more progressive candidates. they are beating out establish. incumbents. we just saw that in massachusetts. how is president obama dealing with this? >> well, president obama is not a crazy liberal. and i think that the president does have a unifying message and a unifying tone, which the incumbents are losing like my good friend, michael, in boston. so i understand people want some change, but i've got to tell you, i don't know if you can find a vote that has been cast in the last 20 years that would not be traditional democratic positions on labor, on women, contraception, the whole nine yards. but then there are people in our party who are challenging just because they say we need a change of personnel, i guess. and that is something that we're going to s

undercut the important work that are federal agencies are undertaking right now to protect the american publichen it .omes to environmental racism he is somebody who would absolutely shift the court to the right. justice kennedy was by no means a progressive on the court, but his vote was in play. in fact, in about 50 cases concerning civil rights matters, he and roberts were on opposite ends of the spectrum with brett kavanaugh we can expect 100% of the time will likely have five areervative justices who turning the clock back on incredibly important areas for minority communities in our country. juan: before we get more deeply into his actual record, this whole issue of the documents and the trump administration not wanting to release 100,000 documents from his time as a staffer in the white house, and the bush white house. i want to turn to then-senator jeff sessions speaking in 2010, when he was the senior republican on the senate judiciary committee. the same issue arose back then. he warned he would not allow confirmation hearings to go forward for president obama's supreme court nominee

the american public wants to know about what happened. and they want to know that the senate takes this seriously. and moving forward on this at this pace with this kind of sort of black hole of a process being foreseen by many of us, we are really under the impression that the senate doesn't take this seriously and doesn't see this as part of their core responsibility to the confirmation process, to the court, and to the american public. >> one of the things you're hearing from senators and some of judge kavanaugh's allies is there's no way to get to the bottom of this. this was 37 years ago that dr. blasey ford doesn't even know exactly where it was or what day it was. that the charges are vague. and this might even be a case of mistaken identity. >> that is not for a layperson to determine. that's why you have investigators who are experienced in these situations. >> and what advice do you have? perhaps no one in the country is in a better position to give dr. blasey ford advice than you. what advice do you have for her? >> my advice -

by the way, by the time we got nafta pesco two-thirds of the american public would for it. that's what the polling said. because the president, he wasn't perfect, stood up and talk to the american public about what was going on and why it was important. unless we have unsorted say congress can't do it, governors and mayors can't do it. only a president can provide that leadership. >> i would add one of the point, which is i agree that trade agreements have to be sold in the first instance. economic grounds. but the strategic underpinning of these agreements can't be ignored. if you are looking for a case in point, think about china's belt and road initiative. you can characterize it,, agreement, trade and other forms of commercial agreements with various central asian countries. that's not the point of the exercise in this limited sense. the point of the exercise for china is also the creation of a sort of china centric eurasian landmass with distribution outlets for china's manufacturing overcapacity, as well as a political and security outlet because china's secret intere

that decision was initially very unpopular with the american public. macarthur was an american hero after all. this led some people to believe that the truman administration was defeatist and passive in the war against communist and the spies who serve them. by 1952, americans voted overwhelmingly but for dwight eisenhower for president. as president, eisenhower issued an executive order in 1953 to revamp the loyalty security program, scrapping the loyalty program that extending the security program to all departments in the government. also in 1953, now former pres. harry truman got into a dispute with eisenhower's attorney general over harry dexter right despite evidence that white himself had been a soviet agent. the case against white had not been a clear one, and truman who was aware of the charges that time when he was president , decided to disregard them. angry at burnell, truman asserted, inaccurately, that the fbi had not warned him about harry dexter white. when presented with the subpoena asking for his testimony, truman refused to comply. d

how does the american public feel about that? guest: they absolutely agree there should be cameras in the court. 624% say they support cameras in the court for televising all arguments. it's a very serious issue. think theecause they public has a right to know or people feel it's not cool. it's actually hurting the institution because they are looking elitist. do isre saying what they too complex for us to cm and people don't like being told that. rosenblatt is a senior strategist and conducted this survey for c-span. wasson joins us. how are things shaping up on capitol hill one-month away from another government funding deadline? card the government shutdown situation is president donald trump. she has repeatedly called for a good government shutdown to get his border wall funded. at this point, congressional leaders are not sure if he will try to provoke that. talking to associates about the possibility, thinking it's a good political move. over immigration before the midterm election. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell an

republican majority has taken great pains to shield a great bulk of kavanaugh's record from the american public. since they're in the majority, they can do this against the will of all the democrats and probably much of the american people, but it is so wrong. let's review what we already know about this nominee. for the bulk of his career, brett kavanaugh has been a loyal republican foot soldier who has consistently found himself near the center of the most heated partisan legal fights of the past two decades. from the star report to bush v. gore and through the myriad controversies of the bush whitehouse, brett kavanaugh was front and center representing the political interests of republicans. his service as a partisan warrior was rewarded with a judgeship where he immediately began to establish a jurisprudence far outside the judicial mainstream. as a judge, he ruled against commonsense gun safety measures. he ruled against commonsense environmental protections. he consistently ruled against rule making powers of independent agencies, going so far as to claibl the cfpb, the consumer financia

popularision was very -- unpopular with the american public. macarthur was an american hero. this led people to believe and the administration was passive in the war against communist and the spies who serve them. voted toamericans elect eisenhower for president. he was the beneficiary of the republican party's slogan for that year, k1c2. major political issues in 1952. as president, eisenhower issued an executive order that revamp theed oil -- revamped the oil program and extending the security program to all compartments in the government. also in 1953, now former president truman, got into a with eisenhower's general over the apartment of harry dexter white into the international monetary fund , onite evidence is white the left, had been a soviet agent. the case against white had not been a clear one and truman, who was aware of the charge at the time, when he was president, decided to disregard them. angry at burnell, truman asserted, inaccurately, that the fbi had not warned him about harry dexter white. when presented with a subpoena asking for his testimony, truman ref

that decision was initially very unpopular with the american public. macarthur was an american hero, after all. this led some people to believe that the truman administration was defeatist and passive in the war against communists and the spies who serve them. by 1952, americans voted to -- in 1952, americans voted to elect eisenhower for president. eisenhower was the beneficiary of the republican party's slogan for that year "k1c2," which stood for "korea, communism and corruption" in government, major political issues in 1952. as president, eisenhower issued an executive order that revamped they loyalty security program, scrapping the loyalty program from truman but extending the security program to all departments in government. also in 1953, now former president harry truman got into a dispute with eisenhower's attorney general, herbert brownell, over harry dexter white, the appointment of harry dexter white to the international monetary fund, despite evidence that white, pictured there on the left, he himself had been a soviet agent. the case again

. >> outraged to lack of public access to thousands of documents related to brett kavanagh. >> by what authority could he possibly be denying to the american people information about a man who is seeking a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land? >> democrats making a very public show saying they would break senate rules and release the documents on their own. >> i understand that the penalty comes with potential ousting from the senate. i openly invite and accept the consequences of my team releasing that e-mail right now. >> republicans calling the move a political stunt to interfere with kavanagh's nomination and making clear the documents in question had actually already been cleared for release and calling out those across the aisle. >> running for president is no excuse for violating the rules of the senate. >> reporter: the newly released documents once deemed confidential include this e-mail in which kavanagh discusses abortion writing i'm not sure all legal scholars refer to roe as the settled law of the land since the court can always overrule precedent. democrats saying it called into question kavanagh's view of wh

was completely paralyzed from the waist down, this was something that was kept secret from the american public for decades. people knew that he had polio, they knew that he was what they called crippled back then or he had a handicap or a funny walk, but very few people knew that he was paralyzed and so severely crippled. when you see the home movies it reveals a side of him where he is not putting on the act. everything else, whenever there is cameras around or he is giving speeches, he is pretending to be able to walk or pretending to be able to stand of course without the assistance of the steel braces that he wore on his legs and someone he could hold onto to brace himself, he could not stand. >> does missy lehand appear in any of these films? if so, are there any new observations about her relationship with fdr and eleanor roosevelt? paul: yes, missy lehand appears in a number of the videos, including scenes with franklin both at the white house and at his home here in hyde park, and there are fun scenes that are home movies of missy that do not have the roosevelts at all where she is tra

the american public, i believe, when they reacted to the firing of cox in the saturday night massacreressed the view that is quite general in the land that you don't mess with an investigation by trying to derail it at the very moment that it is picking up steam and heading toward conclusion. you can't pick the person who conducts the investigation because you don't like the way things are going. i think getting rid of mr. rosenstein at this point would cause a constitutional confrontation that mr. trump and certainly the country don't need. and, so, my advice would be to allow things to proceed as they have. mr. rosenstein has done absolutely nothing wrong. no one can point to anything that he has done. >> well -- >> that has been improper. >> if you had a guy who worked for you reportedly suggest recording a conversation that you were having for the purpose of perhaps invoking the 25th amendment to have you removed from office, would you want that guy working for you? >> well, first of all, the allegations have been denied by mr. rosenstein. you have the chief of staff when he was s
