after decades of research, travel in the great man's footsteps and the use of new sources andrew roberts crafted brilliant exploration of churchill's walk with destiny, but it's not the new sources that most distinguished his work, rather it's the calm and reasoned judgment that andrew applies to the countless triumph, failures and controversy that mark churchill's nine decade life and six decade parliamentary career. if the publication last month in britain churchill walking with destiny has been declared the best single volume life of churchill ever written by both the sunday times and sunday telegraph and in the new issue of "finest hour" reviewer john campbell hailed it as a heroic biography. andrew roberts is from cambridge university, a visiting professor at the war studies department at king's college, london, lehrman industry at the new york historical society and author of 13 books including the storm of war, masters and commanders and napoleon. he's the trustee of the margaret thatcher archive, and most importantly international churchill society. ladies and gentlemen, it's my

we have a major development tonight as to robert mueller's pit bull, andrew weissmann. we will talk later in the program about the dirty tossier and going right into the office of the special counsel. in other words, hillary clinton. that dirty dossier. joining us now, fox news contributor sara carter along with political science professor at iona college, jeanne zaino, is with us. national talk show host nationally syndicated larry elder. let me start, jeany, with you. what about all those people who said they believe? now the lieutenant governor is being a serious sexual assault? will those people now say they believe it if it's a democrat? should they be consistent? >> they should be consistent, and let's be clear, these allegations came out when they released their statement at 2:00 a.m. i'm uncomfortable with the fact that they mischaracterized as "the washington post" said, the reason "the post" chose not to run the story. there's a lot there content with. we have to be fair that "the washington post" has handled this fairly consistently. they waited both on kavan

so, i think it is fair to ask andrew weissmann and robert mueller when did you know what and what wereng to bruce ohr who by the way had been terminated as an fbi source, sean but i don't want to speculate. >> sean: there is another chronology here comey says to president-elect trump not verified but salacious but he signed off on the fisa warrant months earlier. and then you have got, we know from transcripts, robert mueller was being fed information from the fired wire leaker steele through a conduit bruce ohr to the special counsel's office. why wouldn't they look into the dirty dossier's collusion? >> well, i know -- lindsey graham is going to do it. i know michael horowitz is doing it i think john huber the former u.s. attorney is going to do it. the only group not doing it right now is the house because the republicans lost. i think lindsey and michael horowitz are going it shed new light on the fisa process. >> sean: we have a lot of work to do. welcome to the fox family. good to see you. when we come back, we are not doing a villain of the day. we have the hero of the day and y

robert mueller's team? >> that's correct. >> has your memos? >> he does. >> joining us now is john pistol. he was previously the fbi's deputy director and he worked with both andrewabe and then with fbi director robert mueller. now, of course, the special counsel. and pistol is now the president of the anderson university. mr. pistol, thank you very much for being here. when you hear andrew mccabe say that he gave his contemporaneous notes to the special counsel's team, how much stock would you as an investigator put in those? >> well, it's the prudent thing to do for anybody who's been trained as an fbi agent, of course, and the notes would be relevant and potentially probative of what other evidence there maybe that special counsel mueller has that would tie into his overall investigation. so it was a prudent step by andy mccabe to turn those over. question is, what their relevancy and what proof do they offer of what he may be investigating? >> and of course there's also a question about his credibility. i want to ask you about that since of course you know him and you worked with him. you know he was fired for, quote, lacking candor. four times as it related

robert novak fellow. is that is still alive and well, or is this something you did earlier? andrewswhat you are a robert novak fellow, you are in the alumni family for life. but i came back to the united states after living for most of a decade in sydney, australia. in 2017. a week after my plane landed i found out i had won the award that allows journalists to take a year off from their day job and work in a book. brian: did you write a book? ms. andrews: i did. brian: where is the book? we are working on getting it published. brian: what is it about? ms. andrews: it is about the baby boomers and that generation and the terrible things they have done to america and western civilization. brian: and you are a millennial? ms. andrews: yes. born in 1986. brian: the video. you can year in 2008 and in 2010 we covered an event. what was it? ms. andrews: i was approached by harpercollins about contributing an essay to an anthology of essays by young conservatives called "proud to be right, voices of the next conservative generation." it took young conservative writers and editors in their

robert mueller investigation. tim: he has by the books and i know his team is very tightlipped. this investigation began before andrewe or robert mueller got involved, in terms of overseeing it. parts have been handed off to other jurisdictions. the southern district of new york will still be investigating financial issues that robert mueller may have chosen not to pursue, so those will be very present issues for the president regardless of what happens with this investigation. and the fact pattern, what we have seen in the sentencing memos and paperwork coming out, i think that transcends these issues about the fbi's behavior, although it is always worth scrutinizing the fbi. david: does this approach work? canmake thicker branch -- the executive branch investigate the president with the is a source of charges, or is this the congress's responsibility under impeachment power? eli: i think the congress has responsibility through impeachment, but also with elections. in some ways, we will see with the conclusion of this, whether we can have this model going forward, because i think that it would really say something i

former fbi acting director andrew mccabe is acknowledging for the first time publicly he's been interviewed by special counsel robert mueller's team. reporter jessica schneider has the details. andrew mccabe making it clear.... that in the days surrounding james comey's firing as fbi director.... mccabe and others within the justice department explored the possibility the president was working as a russian agent. savannah: "did you suspect the president might actually be working for russia?"andrew mccabe: "we thought that might be possible. we had led us to believe that there might be a threat to national security, in this case that the president himself might, in fact, be a threat to the united states national security."that fear....prompte d mccabe to launch a counterintelligence investigation into president trump.... in may 2017.e mey's f "sealed the deal" for a decision to launch a probe, the case had been building "some time," telling the atlantic, "the fact is, we were building to this point for months before jim was fired."mccabe now says he briefed the top members of congress - the so-called gang of 8 - on t

andrew mccabe says special report robert mueller's should be shared with congress and the public.the best way to counteract damage done to the f.b.i. by criticism by president trump. >> we all understand that there that will limit the amount of information that can be shared with the public. there are issues that are there are issues that are sensitive, sources and nature., things of that we have addressed things like this before. also said he has drawn no conclusions about what will contained and he tells bloomberg the past the turmoil it suffered in the aftermath of firing.mey's a federal appeals court has revived almost 100 lawsuits much aswhat could be as $2 billion lost from bernard when the onzi scheme cash was transferred overseas. 2016y's decision reverses a ruling that benefited foreign ustomers of offshore so-called feeder funds which were invested advisory h madoff's firm. those investors withdrew more oney before they put in before 2008.cheme collapse in caroline: the reason you work you companies is because provide a secondary market in companies and help them get acc

robert novak fellow. is this something you did earlier? ms. andrews: once you are a fellow, you are in the alumni family for life. to the unitedk states after living for most of a decade in sydney, australia. in 2017. my plane landed i won thet i had one -- award that allows journalists to take a year off from their day job and work in a book. brian: did you write a book? ms. andrews: i did. we are working on getting it published. ands about the baby boomers terribleration and the things they have done to america and western civilization. brian: and you are a mom lineal -- millennial? ms. andrews: yes. born in 1986. i was approached by harpercollins about contributing an essay to an anthology of essays by young conservatives oud to be right, voices of the next conservative generation." so i contributed my essay that anthology and as part of the promotion for the anthology once it was released they had some book reviews. i was one of the contributors and another was my ex-boyfriend. brian: so you are both sitting there at the table. first let me introd

rod rosenstein no doubt knows that andrew mccabe took careful notes of all of his conversations and all of those notes are in the possession of special prosecutor roberting to judge andrew mccabe's credibility about what he has written in his book and what he has been saying in his interviews, the fact is that as of tonight, and now this could change, but as of right now tonight not one word andrew mccabe has written or said in his interviews has been contradicted by any of the people he is talking about in his book or in his interviews. >> i knew with this book i had the opportunity to give the american public the rare chance to peek behind the fbi curtain to understand who does this work, why do we do it, and how do we do it. how do we make these decisions? how do we decide where this incredible organization is going to go and what we're going to do? it's not the story that you've heard from the president. it is not the story that you've heard from his supporters on the hill. it is the actual story of how work is done in an institution that is crucial to the health of this democracy. >> andrew mccabe gets tonight's last word. "the 11th hour" with br

andrews: he is a good guy and we reconciled. we are on good terms. he was one of the first robert novak fellows. see him at alumni functions every year. brian: has he married? ms. andrews: no. brian: what is he doing now? ms. andrews: he left his job at fox news because of the fallout from the video. so he suffered from that. now he makes a living as a ghostwriter and a writer. he has a book called libertarianism for beginners. it is a comic book. if you like comic books about politics, you will like that. brian: when he went back to fox news to work for little bit, did he have trouble getting in the building? ms. andrews: yes. he said that still happens to him today when he gets for a spot. ooked for agets b spot. it was years after he had left his position at fox and he was booked to talk about a halloween shows on ufos. completely benign. when he showed up in the lobby, security told him he was on a no admit list. so that was presumably fallout from the c-span thing. brian: for those who want to read your essay, it is called "shame storm," and it is in a magazine called first things, which can

robert mueller has your memos? >> he does. >> this is now clearer than ever, how key a witness andrew mccabe may be in robert mueller's russia investigation, which means the president's month-long twitter campaign against the acting fbi director and his wife my constitute obstruction of justice, a belief no doubt mccabe himself feels the act of firing by the president on the eve of his retirement by the president. >> were you expected to be fired 26 hours before you were to collect your pension? >> i guess i should have because the president spoke about it publicly. he made it quite clear that he wanted me gone before i could retire. i believe i was fired because i opened a case against the president of the united states. >> table is back. jeremy and mimi are here too. meme y mimi, let me start with you, just talk about this culture of memo taking and what is engrained in an fbi agent in terms of using that sort of written recollection to record things that may be lost over months or years. >> nicolle, i think it is literally the sort of old-fashioned equivalent of, you know, iphone picture taking for most of america. this i

we'll take that judge andrew napolitano shortly. first, john roberts with the president's reaction. >> good afternoon. another in a long list of allegations that at some point the president has tried to use his influence to try to influence an investigation. a short time ago citing his director number for for the space force to be created under the air force. the president asked about this and denied that he asked whitaker to put berman in charge of the widening investigations there in the southern district of northern. he denied any idea that he had soured on whitaker as the acting attorney general as a result of that. listen to what the president said here. >> no, not at all. i don't know who gave you that. that's more make news, a lot of fake news out there. no, i didn't. >> what is your relationship with mr. whitaker? >> very good. i have a lot of respect for him. he's done a great job. a very, very straight shooter. i watched him during the hearing, some of it. i thought he was exceptional. he's a very fine man. he should be given a lot of thanks

andrew weissmann. yeah. the pit bull of robert mueller warning them that the source was tainted. christopher steele hated donald trump. and he was being paid by the clinton campaign. she paid for it all. nevertheless, in the summer of 2016, the fbi used the information on the dossier in an application for a fisa warrant to spy on an associate of the trump pain never ever tell the fisa court in their application hillary paid for it and never telling the fisa court that it's unverified and never corroborated. in fact, this does way reporting they pushed around, based on one source. it was the bulk of the evidence used in all four fisa warrants and the three subsequent renewals. now, the fisa court judges, well, they were never warned of the evidence. they withheld important information that hillary paid for it, the dnc paid for it. it never was verified. none of that. james comey, rod rosenstein, andrew mccabe, sally yates, all of them signing off on the fisa application. well that would be called committing a fraud or conspiracy to commit a fraud on a court. that would be lying. t

andrew mccabe. mccabe is confirming, david, that he has been interviewed by robert mueller, the special counsel, andas given mueller and his team all of the contemporaneous notes about his meetings, his exchanges with the president. how significant is that ? >> it's significant. it means there's more information potentially coming from mccabe than we know from his his interview and his book and statements he made recently, some op-eds. it's significant because you have these writings that are contemporaneous recordings of what his reactions were and what his comments were to and from president trump in various meetings. there will be questions like there were with james comey when he testified about whether he used 30 2s. i think what matters is what is in the notes. >> mccabe revealed that he briefed the so-called gang of eight, the democratic and republican leaders of the house and senate, including the leaders of the two intelligence committees on his investigation of the president of the united states. he says none of the eight responded to the serious charges he was alleging. >> imagine this st

. >> in his interview with "60 minutes" this weekend, andrew mccabe revealed he has provided evidence to special prosecutor robertueller's investigation. >> you seem to have a very clear memory of your conversations with the president. why so? >> i made memorandums with myself to make sure that i preserve my contemporaneous recollections of those interactions. >> that's what fbi agents are trained to do? >> that's what we're trained to do. >> where are those memos today? >> those memos are in the custody of the special counsel's team. >> robert mueller's team, has your memos. >> that's correct. he does. >> before andrew mccabe was fired from the fbi, the president spent a couple of years publicly attacking him and his wife who ran as a democrat for state senate in virginia in 2015. >> did you expect to be fired 26 hours before you were able to collect your pension? >> i guess i should, because the president spoke about it publicly. he made it quite clear that he wanted me gone before i could retire. i believe i was fired because i opened a case against the president of the united states. >> andrew mccabe says he

well in robert mueller's previous job as director of the fbi. and this is what andrew mccabe said today, what he told ari melber about what he expects in the mueller report. >> i expect that director mueller's team will produce an all-encompassing report that details exactly what they found and exactly what they think about it. i think it's unbelievably important that that information is shared with congress. and i'd also like to see it shared to the greatest extent possible with the american people. >> and congressman jeffries, that's someone who has worked closely with robert mueller, knows his work methodology. >> it's incredibly important because we know a few things. all of the president's men are going down in flames, from manafort to gates to papadopoulos to cohen to flynn and now roger stone. it's often said where there's smoke there's fire. there's a whole lot of smoke emanating from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. we need some clarity. the mueller report can provide that. there appears to be a triangular relationship between the trump campaign, wikileaks, and russi

and so is the robert mueller investigation enough to -- if that's -- if that's the possible scenario that you're looking at and you think that what andrewabe said is a possible scenario, is the robert mueller investigation and what's happening in congress enough? >> well, i don't know. i mean, that's a big -- the big question. i think the hope is that the mueller investigation will clear the air on this issue once and for all. i'm really not sure it will and the investigation when completed could turn out to be quite anticlimactic and not draw a conclusion about that. i don't know. now, the unknown here a, at lea for me, what might the congress do on its own, particularly the house intelligence committee or the house judiciary committee? it would take the mueller investigation's results and go on from there and i have no idea where that would lead. >> while i have you, i want to ask you about something that's happening in russia as we speak, the president of russia, vladimir putin, is giving his state of the nation address. and he just said something that has gotten a lot of attention. he was talking about the deployment of intermediate

all of that in the nine days between james comey's firing and robert mueller's appointment as special counsel on day nine. we're joined by andrew mccabe now. thank you for being here. i know you have done a lot. we're excited to have you. your book is called "the clet: how the fbi protects america in the age of terror and trump." i want to describe day one that we just read off, right after you learned jim comey had been fired. quote, time stopped for a moment. i should have not been shocked but i was. one moment you're in an environment you know how to understand and navigate and then lights turn offer and turn back on and in a half a second you're standing in a completely different place. what do you do now? what did you do? >> i immediately started thinking about how do i get this brilliant, majestic organization of almost 37,000 people to stay the course? that was my primary concern in that moment. through a career of investigations, a career of sitting through hundreds of who knows how many interviews and across the table from people who are witnesses or participants of crimes and horrible accidents, disasters, you learn t

raising money that he's going to stand strong and fight the deep state, which robert mueller to him embodies. >> we had andrew mccabe yesterday, former acting fbi director. he writes about in his book staying the course with manafort and the context is in this climate where donald trump creates, he's gone to war with judge curial in the campaign, he praises the victims in the inner circle who attacked the judges, who act like roger stone did, and he's attacked the corroborating witnesses, people cooperating in federal investigations, the doj and fbi, which he ostensibly oversees as this nation's top executive. do you think there's a tone that's been set by the president that stone and manafort and all of these, you know, thugs follow? >> is this what we call a rhetorical question? >> you can draw direct line from a sitting president to the thuggish behavior of these convicted -- >> the question is whether trump sets a tone or he's part of an ecosystem in which that tone has always been tolerated. roger stone has been a trump associate for decades. they've known each other. stone helped chart out his political

lets talk to robert halfon, charlotte wolf, who was an english teacher and left the profession because she thought exams were negatively impacting on her students; andrewif they were scrapped. welcome all of you. robert, i will come to you first, explain how the education system would work in an ideal world as you would like to see it. we face three significant challenges, the first is young people stay in education until 18, they do not leave at 16. secondly we have a significant skills deficit compared to many developing countries, we are low—down on the oecd countries, we are low—down on the 0ecd tables for maps, literacy, problem—solving. and thirdly, we face the march of the robots, the bank of england suggesting 15 millionjobs could be under bank of england suggesting 15 million jobs could be under threat of automation, 46% ofjobs currently done by young people could be under threat of automation or artificial intelligence. i think we need a radical look, we need to start a national debate of what the future curriculum, exams system should look like with the 21st century. we need to follow other countries. you have something like 149 countries wh

robert mueller. >> i want to turn to some of the revelations in andrew mccabe's book. them, that there were serious discussions about potentially wearing a recording device, other revelations that there were serious discussions about removing the president from office. today in a new statement from andrew mccabe's spokeswoman, this person says, certain statements made by mr. mccabe in interviews associated with the release of his book have been taken out of context, misrepresented. to clarify, at no time did mr. mccabe participate in any extended discussions about the use of the 25th amendment nor is he aware of any such discussions. joyce, what do you make of this statement in the wake of what we heard on "60 minutes" which is that there were very serious discussions about potentially removing this president? >> well, it sounds like mccabe's people want to make sure that we all read his book from cover to cover. it's been difficult to know what to make of this, because what mccabe appears to be saying in the excerpts that we've seen is directly contradicted by mr. ros

andrew mccabe is opening up between may 9th, 2017 when trump fired james comey and may 17th when robert mueller was appointed. mccabe's book is called "the threat," detailed his decisions to launch the inquiry after the day of the firing. mccabe describes his first encounter with trump on the day he took over at the bureau. "people are happy at the fact that the director is gone and it is remarkable what people are saying? have you seen that?" mccabe recounted his concerns about trump and needed to protect the larger investigation. >> i was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency and who might have done so with the aid of the government of russia. our most formidable adversary. >> i was concerned that i was able to put the russia case on solid ground that where i removed quickly and reassigned or fired that the case could not be closed or vanished in the night without a trace. i wanted to make sure that our case was on solid ground. if somebody came in behind me and closed it and tried to walk away from it, they would not be able t

operative, and these have ended up being the kinds of contacts robert mueller is still scrutinizing, so said one of his top deputies, prosecutor andrew weismann. that's very different from what the senate intel committee looked at. they didn't, as far as i know, sit with konstantin kilimnik. it's not clear the same interactions are at the heart of what they looked at, is it? ken? >> in some ways, no. the house intelligence committee are looking at some of the same stuff but they have a much broader and in some ways more freedom to weave a narrative and connect some of the dots that are not necessarily requiring the formal confines of an indictment or legal proceeding to introduce. but we know that they are also -- while they are looking at some of the this stuff, they're also looking at donald trump's businesses and the ways in which those businesses have crossed paths with russians and have actually targeted russia for possible development. and that is thus far we have not seen any evidence that mueller is going down those paths. so in some ways these are complimentary. we've southeasternly secertainle some of the transcripts to bri

robert mueller's full report to the public. the news comes tonight as we hear a new account from former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe about the president and what mccabe says he did to protect the russia investigation. the president is firing back tonight, and here's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas now. >> reporter: tonight, for the first time, former acting fbi director andrew mccabe opening up about why he launched a counterintelligence investigation in the president of the united states. in his new book, mccabe writes president trump phoned him just hours after firing james comey. "it's don trump calling," he said. "people are really happy about the fact that the director's gone. are you seeing that, too?" mccabe says he didn't want to tell the president the opposite was true, that "you could go to any floor and you would see small groups gathering in hallways, some people even crying." he tells "60 minutes" that the next day, he was summoned to the oval office. >> i was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency, and won the election for the presidency, and who might have done so with the aid of the

andrew mccabe, author of the book "the threat." the mueller report could be imminently turned in to robert mueller. the democrats are talking about subpoenaing robert mueller to get it in front of the american public in some form. >> there are many limitations on what might be able to be included in that unclassified version. i take attorney general barr's word remember sa, he said that would make as much of it public as possible. we're all awaiting news of the report. >> have you heard anything from michael cohen so far or some of the other witnesses that makes you more confident that mueller and these other investigators are going to get to the bottom of this? >> i think that the progress that the mueller team has delivered should be a great indicator to everyone that this is not just a legitimate investigation but one that's being pursued aggressively and completely. they've certainly gone in directions and delivered results that i could not have thought about back in the days when we were responsible for those cases. we were at the very kind of early stages of that investigation when we turned

they're saying there's four victims that robert kelly -- they're saying there's ten counts, this is key. let's bring back in andrewkey because they're saying they're aggravated sexual accounts. the definition is they were under 17 and he was more than five years older than them. what does that mean legally? >> so we have three victims that are minors between the age of 13 to 17. he's five years older. that makes it an aggravating crime and puts it in that heightened jail time. it's a sex offense for registration purposes. we also have an adult victim who is alleged through some sort of force that he apparently ejaculated on to her and that made it aggravated. >> when you talk about three years and seven counts, 30 to 70 years? do they run concurrent? is that decided down the line? what is the normal protocol on that? >> that's a lot of projection way down the line. there's ways to run conc concurrently. the seriousness of the crimes. you have the idea that multiple counts go to each victim. he's not likely to be sentenced multiple times for the different ways they're charged in. >> trace: and we expect to have one

cynthia, you hear andrew mccabe speaking there and you heard how he's described robert mueller in hiscomplete sense, as a former federal prosecutor, all of the actions that took place and the conversations that they had? >> i would say two things about that. first, just as a political matter, it doesn't show a lot of savvy since the 25th amendment is such a high bar. there was no chance to the members of the cabinet and the vice president were going to go along. as a political matter it doesn't make much sense to me. as a legal matter, what i'm more concerned about is not that they had a discussion about the 25th amendment because that's obviously constitutional. it's in the constitution. but why? what was it about trump's intent as he described it there? what was it about trump's capacity? because he was privy to a lot of information that we still don't have and that we need to know. they were particularly worried after the firing of comey but there had been an investigation going for some time and comey was sort of the straw that broke the camel's back. so that's the information we

robert s muellenvestigation after former attorney general jeff sessions recused himself. do officials say rosenstein's departure has nothing to do with recent comments made by forir eputy director andrew abe. nbc's hallie jackson has more. >> reporter: andrew mccabe's defending his side of the story, saying when deputy attorney general rod rosenstein offered to wear a wire inside the white house to record the president after james comey was fired, it was serious, not sarcastic. >> now, he was not joking. he was absolutelyerious and, in fact, he brought it up in the next meeting we had. >> reporter: the justi department, in a carefully worded statement, says rosenstein never authorized any recording, but mccabe is arguing that's not a denial. eputy attorney general says he never authorized anyone to wear a wire that is true. he never authorized it because we never asked himor that authorization. >> you don't think he dytied ng you just said? >> i don't think he can. calls rter: the doj mccabe's version of events inaccurate, and president trump is going even further, describing mccabe's story as deranged and calling itllegal d treasonous, but the former fbi director discussed invoking 2
