. >> but is this a betrayal? >> david, let me answer glenn so we can be polite now, huh? what the answer is that we went through the process. the office of legal compliance came back and said this say compliant executive order, it's fully legal and it can be executed. so then for the attorney general to turn around and say i'm not going to uphold this lawful executive order is clearly a dereliction of duty and she should have been removed and she was. it is odd to me that we're having a discussion about somebody whose job it is to execute lawful orders, who chose not to do it, hold on, who chose not to do t and then we're questioning whether or not we were right to remove her. that's the right thing to do. if you looked at the folks from the right and the left constitutional scholars said we might not agree with some of the policies or the political or the party of the president, but he was right to do this. he had every right. >> why is the word "betrayal" -- >> because the department's job is to execute, they're the department of justice, and if you have a legally execu

the white house then calling it betrayal. promptly firing her. that drama spilling over into the confirmation hearings for the next attorney general now, and senior justice correspondent pierre thomas tonight. >> reporter: the white house says she betrayed the department of justice, but tonight democrats are embracing former acting attorney general sally yates as a hero. >> i know sally yates as a person of integrity. >> sally yates stood her ground. >> that statement took guts. >> reporter: yates sent shock waves through washington with her announcement that the justice department would not defend the president's executive order. in a dramatic letter to the department, she questioned whether the immigration ban was "consistent with this institution's solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right," adding she is not "convinced that the executive order is lawful." within three hours, yates, an obama holdover, was out, fired by president trump. >> for the attorney general to turn around and say "i'm not going to uphold this l

deeming that an act of betrayal, mr trump promptly sacked her, installing dana boente as the new attorneythe swearing in of mr trump's preferred candidate, alabama senator jeff sessions, whose confirmation has been delayed by democrats in congress. sally yates is not alone in her misgivings, though. barack obama said in a statement that he fundamentally disagreed with the notion of discriminating against individuals on the basis of faith or religion. us diplomats have also registered their concerns, leading to this tongue lashing from the white house. if these career bureaucrats have a problem with it, i think that they should either get with the programme, or they can go. later today, mr trump is due to announce his pick for a place on the us supreme court. the choice, he said, was one that would appeal to evangelical christians. he may also be hoping it leads to some better headlines. here, the former head of the foreign office, lord ricketts said theresa may's decision to invite donald trump on a state visit to the uk so quickly has put the queen in a "very difficult position". a state

the betrayal middle-class families are feeling is clearly palpable. and unless we do something soon, americans will continue to lose their health plans. they will continue to get stuck with insurance that costs more and offers less. costs will continue to rise unsustainably. choices will continue to shrink uncontrollably. no amount of obamacare happy talk, no amount of it or reality denial is going to change that. some will just never accept the facts, though. they'll say we need to only tinker around the edges of obamacare. everything will be fine. others will try to climb the failure of obamacare as a mandate for even more obamacare. they'll claim the solution is actually to move to the kind of fully government-run single-payer system that already collapsed in one of the most left-wing states in the nation, the same system that 80% of voters just rejected in colorado others will say we need only install a massive new obamacare 2.0 system. obamacare 2.0, one that's mostly government-run. we heard a lot of this so-called public option talk when democr

russian history is full of stories of betrayal.choolboy who informed on his own father to josef stalin's police. some are calling yulia stepanova a modern—day example, the stepanovs said the doping programme was approved at the very top. this is backed up by lab tests, forensic reports, and interviews with other insiders. despite denials of state involvement, this official laboratory covered up and destroyed hundreds of samples. it lost its accreditation, and has been out of action for more than a year. this moscow lawyer represents several athletes accused of doping. his clients dismiss the evidence, and call yulia stepanova a cheating hypocrite. she's not a hero, because there's nothing brave in it. i think the main motive for her, as for any other athlete who is involved in doping, is a financial motive. but a journalist who has been investigating doping for decades, and exposed the cyclist lance armstrong, believes people have misunderstood and undervalued her, in russia and in the wider world. yulia stepanova did this in retur

the word "betrayal" is more usually reserved for spies, for people who have committed acts of treacherysally yates would say she was doing what she thought was right and upholding the law, but what this episode shows us is how the trump administration sees dissent, and how it's going to deal with it. in essence, you're either with us or against us. the whole truth... but look at this from her confirmation hearing back in 2015. the man asking the question is none other than donald trump's choice as attorney general. if the views the president wants to execute are unlawful, should the attorney general or deputy attorney general say "no?" i believe the attorney general or deputy attorney general has an obligation to follow the law and the constitution and to give their independent legal advice to the president. but in a few hours‘ time, for all attention will switch here. this is the supreme court, the highest court in the land, the body that decides all the most contentious social issues. gun laws, abortion rights, gay marriage. and there is a vacancy that donald trump must fill, possibly

refusing to do that is a betrayal of the office and it is unconscionable to do so.well know, during the obama administration, order after order after order was issued that violated immigration law. that repealed it. the pulled it. throughout all of the outcome of the obama justice department stood by and supported those unlawful actions. president trump comes in and directs agencies to follow the law as written, protect the country, and the acting attorney general says i am not going to do it. >> tucker: are you confident the new acting attorney general will defend his orders? >> i am. as you understand, the core power of the federal government on immigration is its right to deny entry to any alien at any time if it believes that to be the national interest in national security. >> tucker: you have been identified in the media in the last couple of days -- goat >> almost all of it glowing. >> tucker: flattering in the sense that you been giving quad wow credit for the driving force behind these executive orders. new york magazine had a piece saying, what is stephen

is that even more of a betrayal to your constituents? >> oh, certainly. any time an elected official abuses their position it's a betrayal to not only the people of prince george's county but the state of maryland. >> on thursday the fbi raided the county liquor board. two liquor stores and a scrap yard. agents arrested a liquor board commissioner and the board director and charged them and two liquor store owners with conspiracy and bribery. then there is the as yet unnamed state state delegate who allegedly voted to give liquor stores permits to sell on sundays in exchange for thousands of dollars and promises of tens of thousands more. >> they need to go wherever it leads them. take it all the way up the line. make sure it doesn't happen again. >> with so many good things happening in the county, including a billion dollar casino, residents say a scandal like this is the last thing they need. >> i'm so tired of corrupt individuals in our government. i really am. >> i'm going to need them distribute that money back to the community again. >> now governo

might be construed as a brave action but in wartime that is cowardice, that is treachery, that is betrayalthat transitional period between peace and war is interesting. notjust people's ability to be brave changes, but the notion of what bravery means changes and it changes with each individual at different speeds and i like that. one of the ways you get into that is to cross social boundaries in a very deliberate way. the woman we meet at the very beginning of the book comes from a particular segment of society. finishing school but didn't finish it, i think you put it somewhere. and you meet people in different walks of life and you've got a very acute sense of where those boundaries were and however, one knew where the line was drawn. i like the fact that the boundaries haven't changed either. all those fault lines... they are recognisable to us? absolutely, don't you think? you could be living in 1939 and know exactly where the fault lines in society were between the haves and the have—nots, where the racial divides in society were. they are still with us. that society is very recognis

there are similarities. >> there certainly is a sense of betrayal here. trump goes out of his way to give this woman who is -- you know, a liberal who was appointed, brought in by obama, a chance to be an acting attorney general. as soon as she has a chance to try to attack and make him look bad and to misdirect the justices that are sworn to follow the president's lead, she does so. and of course she has to get fired. what we don't understand and the media is missing is that trump is not surprising anybody. he clearly said what he was going to do. he's setting an agendas. he's up front, transparent about it. the left is going crazy. they can't understand why they're losing their power and their way of life and the control that they've had. they don't understand the rest of america supports trump. he's a disrupter. he wasn't elected to be a nice man. he was elected to undo the damage obama did. >> ethan, even if he was elected on campaign promises, the campaign promises must be within the constitution. >> absolutely. and that's what's interesting in this
