it's hard to believe that andrew yang, john delany are still in the race but beto o'rourke with all hiseginning of the campaign is out. >> it would take a heart of stone not to laugh. the basic problem with beto is that he more than anybody else believed his press coverage whechs running -- when he was running against ted cruz. when the national press wanted cruz to lose. he believed he was this robert f. kennedy messianic figure and every time it was proven that he wasn't he tripled and quadrupled on his rapid onset woke dementia and went even crazier to the left and got no traction because he wasn't a particularly serious candidate. >> bret: president trump obviously weighed in on this as well saying maybe he wasn't made for it after all. panel, stand by. we'll take a trip down candidate casino on the other side of the break plus winners and losers as the friday lightning round continues. when i book at hilton.com i get to select my room from the floor plan... free wi-fi... ...and the price match guarantee. so with hilton there is no catch. yeah the only catch is i'm never leaving. no

let's listen to nigel farage, he announced he would not be standing on the andrew marr show this morning. i thought very hardow do i serve the cause of brexit best? that's what i'm doing this for. i don't want to be in politics for the rest of my life. do i get politics for the rest of my life. do igeta politics for the rest of my life. do i get a seat and get intolerant or doi i get a seat and get intolerant or do i serve the cause better traversing the length and breadth of the united kingdom supporting 600 candidates. i've decided the latter is the better one. it's difficult to do both, be in a constituency everyday and at the same time be out across the united kingdom. and nigel farage made it clear that he has no interest in getting on board with borisjohnson interest in getting on board with boris johnson steel at all. he will spend a lot of the campaign criticising it. borisjohnson will go around saying that he has another and ready deal to present and get through parliament within weeks but last week was supposed to be the week we were due to leave the european union. boris johnson famously, or infam

versus andrew perry who will be giving you the presentation today. it is hard enough to thoughtfully and diligently reveal one project let alone dozens of them and one entitlement. andrew has done an exemplary job in preparing for this hearing and taking over and mastering the subject. also kristin jensen who has been our lead in the city attorney's office. without her support we never could have achieved this. i am tremendously impressed by the staff at all levels that have worked on this item who couldn't -- we couldn't be here without all the hard work of the staff. we have a large contingent if you are available -- if you need to answer questions. andrew will give the presentation outlining the settlement agreement and the entitlement centre before you today. we do have rick cooper and our environmental planning staff. we also have dan adams from m. o.c.d. and joe barber from the department of building inspections who can answer any questions. we have planning department staff who are planning and preservation specialist who helped us get over the line yest

. >>> prince andrew is having a hard time putting the controversy around his relationship with jeffrey both of abuse is speaking out. nbc's erin mclaughlin is outside buckingham palace. good morning. >> reporter: ever since that disastrous bbc interview, prince andrew's face, an avalanche of bad press. what we won't be facing, questions from british authorities. yesterday scotland yard saying they are standing by a 2016 decision not to launch an investigation saying it's because most of the alleged activities took place outside of the uk nevertheless, his accuser is still being heard in an interview recorded prior to the prince speaking out. >> it was a really scary time in my life. >> reporter: this morning prince andrew's accuser, virginia roberts giuffre speaking out again. >> he knows what happened, i know what happened, and there's only one of us telling the truth. >> reporter: her first british interview with the bbc airs in full on monday giuffre piling on the pressure as fallout continues from the prince's recent interview. >> i have no recollection of ever meeting her. >> repo

it is hard to predict the waynt the cur impeachment debate will ends noting andrew johnson ived and richard nixon held until the last moment of watergate. whatever happens the start of 9 lakers mark the beginning dark -- hearings mark t start of a test fhe country. joining me is jon meacham. what stands out to you about how this president and this nion are handling that test? jon: well, i think we are having a basic argument in the country about whether the facts are and -- what the factors are and what we should make of them. andom that is at that has been bubbling along, forming, really, for 50 years or so. but these areen pal forces. walt lippman wrote a book called publice opinion and h defined the besettingroblem of the modern age might be we would define and would see instead of seeing defining and it has onlyotten worse. so i think we have to find two things. s a common of facts and if we can agree on them the there is basic democratic lower case d health to that. then we enve an arg of what to make of the factsment my own sense is thate live in these, on these two condition planets

laura: if this was a deposition yand prince andrew had ber client, how would you think it had gone? jonathan: [laughter] well, it's hardto -- i know he s press advisor leave him shortly before the interview. i can't imagine his legal advisers didn't leave him shortly thereafter. this was a remarkably bad idea. it was a bad idea to sit down for the interview, but it was a worse idea to sit down and notre know what yoly had to say. there was a lack of clarity, to it is bad enough when people think of you in criminal terms, but o to now be thougin comical terms is not a good combination, and that is what happened here. e problem is he is on record. he has these explanations which come down to perspiration and pizza, and those differences can -- defenses can be undone through investigation. he can be challenged on them under oath. so his argument is it could notu have been me b i don't perspire, and it could not have in me because i was at this pizza place with my daught. those are issues that have to be explored. part of the problem with the interview is that it was so wildly unconvincing. it was convoluted and conflicted

hard, are paid very well. i know for a fact that prince andrew doesn't listen to his advisers. all, they are more involved in the world, but actually they don't. we have a senior person who join prince andrew's team a few months ago and he left a few weeks ago certainly. 0ne doesn't know, but the implication is that he would not have approved of what prince andrew was doing. hejust have approved of what prince andrew was doing. he just goes have approved of what prince andrew was doing. hejust goes his own have approved of what prince andrew was doing. he just goes his own way. he is so arrogant he doesn't listen to people who may know other aspects of the world and might advise him. do you think you will be taken aback by the coverage this morning?” don't think you would understand that. it was all about him, how charming he was, he was more than dutiful, he presented himself in a way that won't wash with the public. thank you very much for coming in to speak to us. thank you very much for coming in to speak to us. the lawyer representing some of epstein's alleged victims, glo

. >> andrew, there was a time, it's hard to believe this now, but there was a time when the house speakeresistant to impeachment, so resistant to it that she wouldn't even use the phrase impeachment inquiry because she thought to say that would lend it legitimacy. i asked her one time in the press conference and she said she was resistant to it because she said it would be a long, arduous process that would be divisive and that president trump wasn't worth it. and yet it appears nancy pelosi was right. this is a long, arduous and divisive process and so far it appears to be entirely partisan. >> and that's exactly what i was going to say. she also said she wanted there to be bipartisan buy-in which at the time seemed like a pipe dream before these ukraine-related allegations came out. but nancy pelosi was very hesitant to launch this impeachment inquiry. she has said before in recent weeks that she felt like she had to after these revelations came out. but republicans have been sort of trying to use that against her and say, look, you shouldn't be launching into an impeachment process tha
